1255: Chapter 1248: Enemies et 1255: Chapter 1248: Enemies et “H-how is this possible?
You clearly only have the strength of Spirit Communication Realm Fourth Heavenly Layer.
How could you possibly shatter this stone?
You cheated, you must have cheated!” Fatty Zhu Mingqian muttered incessantly.
One must know that this circular boulder could only be cracked by experts at the Creation Realm, and Zhu Mingqian had even deliberately prohibited Divine Thought Realm practitioners from participating to ensure safety.
Yet now, the stone had been shattered by a re Spirit Communication Realm brat, sothing he simply couldn’t accept.
Holding the Nine Nether Ice Lion, Little Bai, Ye Chenfeng raised his voice and said, “What do you an by this?
Do you have any evidence to claim that I cheated?
Is it impossible for Spirit Communication Realm and Ocean Gathering Realm practitioners to crack this stone?
Otherwise, why are you so shocked?
Or are you actually deceiving everyone here?
Looks like we’ll have to involve the Tianyao City Lord’s Mansion to have a fair judgnt.”
Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng ntion the City Lord’s Mansion, Fatty Zhu Mingqian’s complexion underwent a subtle change.
In Tianyao City, any shop established within its bounds must operate with integrity.
Should any shady dealings be exposed, the City Lord’s Mansion would never tolerate it.
If the City Lord’s Mansion were to intervene, it would undoubtedly spell trouble for Zhu Mingqian.
Zhu Mingqian scrutinized Ye Chenfeng from head to toe but could not discern anything unique about him.
Naturally, he also failed to notice the Nine Nether Ice Lion nestled in Ye Chenfeng’s arms.
In his eyes, Little Bai, who lazily rested with its eyes closed, appeared to be nothing more than a peculiar-looking kitten.
He certainly wouldn’t suspect that this “kitten” had shattered the stone with a single swipe of its paw.
Standing beside Zhu Mingqian was a middle-aged man with a fierce deanor, nad Hua Zhao, a Creation Realm Initial Stage expert.
He hadn’t sensed anything amiss earlier either.
He began to suspect that he might have inadvertently damaged the integrity of the stone earlier, which allowed this Spirit Communication Realm brat to take advantage.
While Zhu Mingqian and Hua Zhao hesitated, Ye Chenfeng turned to the onlookers and declared, “Everyone, co with to the Divine Artifact Pavilion to see which three items I can select.”
Ye Chenfeng didn’t give Fatty Zhu Mingqian any chance to regret his decision.
By stirring up the interest of those present, Zhu Mingqian would risk public outrage if he dared to renege now.
At this mont, an old man who had been glancing at Ye Chenfeng earlier suddenly stepped out from the crowd, his eyes gleaming with enthusiasm.
He chuckled and said, “Young man, we et again!
You’re already a mber of our sect now.
Let this old man help you select three items today!”
The person who erged was none other than Qingyang Sect’s Great Elder, Wu Changnan, who had once pushed Ye Chenfeng toward Ning Xuening before fleeing on his own.
He had been hiding among the crowd earlier, which was why Ye Chenfeng hadn’t noticed him.
When Wu Changnan saw Ye Chenfeng, he couldn’t help but be slightly astonished.
The last ti they parted ways, Ye Chenfeng was only at Spirit Communication Realm Third Heavenly Layer Peak.
Yet, how much ti had passed since then?
Ye Chenfeng had already reached Spirit Communication Realm Fourth Heavenly Layer Late Stage, confirming to Wu Changnan that Ye Chenfeng must possess so supre cultivation techniques.
Before Ye Chenfeng and the others reached the Divine Artifact Pavilion, Wu Changnan had secretly attempted to strike the boulder himself.
Despite being at Ocean Gathering Realm Second Heavenly Layer, he couldn’t budge the stone.
To him, Ye Chenfeng must have utilized so rare treasure to shatter it.
This realization made Wu Changnan even more eager to uncover Ye Chenfeng’s secrets.
Since Ye Chenfeng shattered the enormous stone, he gained entry to the Divine Artifact Pavilion to select three items.
Wu Changnan knew there were undoubtedly extraordinary materials inside the pavilion.
If he could acquire three rare items, he might be able to find an Artifact Refiner from the Refining Sect to forge a weapon suitable for himself.
When Ye Chenfeng saw Wu Changnan erge from the crowd, he was montarily stunned.
He hadn’t anticipated running into Wu Changnan in Tianyao City.
As the saying goes, “Enemies et, tensions rise.” Wu Changnan had tried to harm Ye Chenfeng by pushing him toward Ning Xuening back then.
Ye Chenfeng hadn’t sought him out for revenge yet, but now Wu Changnan actively approached him?
Despite being only at Spirit Communication Realm Fourth Heavenly Layer Late Stage, Ye Chenfeng felt no fear toward Wu Changnan.
First, fighting was strictly prohibited in Tianyao City.
Second, Wu Changnan wasn’t even a match for Little Bai’s appetite.
Once Wu Changnan left Tianyao City, Ye Chenfeng vowed he’d send this old coot to his grave.
“Who do you think you are, old geezer?
Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey before walking out today?
Or did your brain get caught between so doors?
Go cool off sowhere and stay out of my sight!” Ye Chenfeng mocked, curling his lips.
Wu Changnan’s cheerful expression instantly morphed into rage.
Just then, He Ping, Huang Chongyi, and Xiang Xiaoyi erged from the crowd as well.
These three were forr Qingyang Sect Inner Sect Disciples, and Wu Changnan recognized them at once.
His face softened into a grin as he said, “You three are safe after all?
When I turned back to rescue you, I couldn’t find your whereabouts.
Surely, you wouldn’t bla , your Great Elder, would you?
Stay with , and I’ll rebuild Qingyang Sect.
You’ll beco the Sect’s new Elders.”
Huang Chongyi, known for his antics, exclaid upon seeing Wu Changnan, “You’re here too?”
Noticing that Huang Chongyi wasn’t pretending not to know him, Wu Changnan’s spirits lifted.
He quickly turned to the crowd and proclaid, “Everyone, as you can see, these four youngsters are my juniors.
As their elder, it’s only natural for to help them select three items.”
Turning back to Ye Chenfeng, Wu Changnan added, “There’s no need to act like you don’t know .
Do you understand how disrespectful you’re being to your seniors?
Do you not grasp the concept of respecting your elders?”
Before Ye Chenfeng, still holding Little Bai, could respond, Huang Chongyi snapped back, “Why are you yapping at our boss?
Do you even have the right to speak to him like that?
You think your pathetic self qualifies as our elder?
You were nothing but a dung collector in our forr sect.
What bigshot do you think you are here in Tianyao City?”
Xiang Xiaoyi chid in urgently, “Everyone, don’t believe this old geezer.
He’s nothing but a dung collector.
Half a month ago, he stole a treasure from our sect, and we’ve been searching for him ever since.
We accidentally got separated from our senior during the hunt, and fate has sohow led us to encountering this dung-collecting fraud here in Tianyao City.”
He Ping joined the tirade furiously, “Dung collector, hand over the sect’s treasure!
Or you’ll never leave Tianyao City alive.
Otherwise, we’ll ensure your corpse has nowhere to be buried.”
The impressive acting skills of Huang Chongyi and the others started to sway the crowd’s belief.
Tianyao City was known as a haven, and incidents involving shady characters like Wu Changnan were not uncommon.
The surrounding crowd’s eyes lit up—they now set their sights on the “treasure” Wu Changnan supposedly possessed.
“You three, stop slandering !” Wu Changnan hadn’t expected things to unfold this way.
Hearing left and right people call him “dung collector” left him furious, his face flushed red with anger, veins bulging on his forehead, and the aura of an Ocean Gathering Realm Second Heavenly Layer Peak swirling around him.
“Dung collector, I only pretended not to know you earlier to give you a chance to repent.
But now, you’re shalessly trying to bully us?
The sect assigned you the role of dung collector and aided your cultivation to Ocean Gathering Realm, yet you repaid the sect with treachery and theft.
How disgraceful!”
“Dung collector, you’re a sinner of the sect!” Ye Chenfeng spoke with a mix of pity and anger etched across his face.
Wu Changnan was so infuriated he could explode.
Faced with the disdainful gazes of the crowd, they now saw him as nothing more than a dung collector despite his Ocean Gathering Realm strength.
It was impossible for the crowd to not view him with contempt.
Trembling with rage, Wu Changnan dared not act against Ye Chenfeng and the others due to the strict rules of Tianyao City.
In the end, his figure blurred as he stord away in a huff, temporarily retreating.
