The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1266 - 1259: Sever Hand Tendons? Foot Tendons?

The total assets within the Ziyun Auction House in Tianyao City amounted to just over two million High Grade Spirit Stones, and this time, Ye Chenfeng had essentially emptied it all out in one go. As Ye Chenfeng’s figure disappeared from sight, Shui Ziyan’s captivating eyes sparkled with intrigue. She spoke, "Elder Yang, I’m growing increasingly interested in this mysterious Artifact Refiner. In just a single day, he managed to create fifty storage rings. If we can recruit him into the Shui family, it will undoubtedly be a tremendous boost for us."

Yang Qingshan gazed at the fifty storage rings on the table and nodded in firm agreement. In his view, Ye Chenfeng was undoubtedly a High Grade Artifact Refining Master. However, little did they know that Ye Chenfeng was simply a novice in Artifact Refining and that the storage rings were the only thing he could currently forge.

After leaving the Ziyun Auction House, Ye Chenfeng ventured into a narrow alley. When he reemerged, he had already reverted to his original appearance. With over 2.04 million High Grade Spirit Stones now stored in his storage ring, Ye Chenfeng felt these spirit stones were enough for him to splurge for quite some time. When the day came where he spent them all, he could simply auction off a few more storage rings. After all, to him, storage rings were utterly worthless items.

When Ye Chenfeng returned to the inn holding Little Bai in his arms, He Ping, Huang Chongyi, and Xiang Xiaoyi were already waiting for him. Since Ye Chenfeng had mentioned earlier that they would leave Tianyao City today, the moment Ye Chenfeng appeared, He Ping asked, "Boss, did the storage rings sell? Can we leave Tianyao City now?"

Ye Chenfeng recounted the events of selling the storage rings. Although the price for each ring dropped by 10,000 High Grade Spirit Stones compared to the defective ring sold yesterday, He Ping and the others knew this was inevitable. Nevertheless, upon hearing that their leader Ye Chenfeng had made two million High Grade Spirit Stones in one sweep, they couldn’t help but feel a dry sensation in their throats.

To He Ping and the others, two million High Grade Spirit Stones were a fortune they couldn’t accumulate even in ten lifetimes before meeting Ye Chenfeng. Yet Ye Chenfeng accomplished it in just one day. Their admiration for their boss reached an incomparable height.

"Next, I need to make a trip to White Snow Villa." Ye Chenfeng was still concerned about the safety of Sun Xiaoli and the others. Moreover, White Snow Villa was merely a Seventh Rank Sect, where the strongest individuals were at the Divine Thought Realm. With Little Bai at the Creation Realm by his side, this Seventh Rank Sect posed no threat to him.

After leaving the inn, the four of them headed straight for the city gates of Tianyao City. Once He Ping had paid four pieces of Middle Grade Spirit Stones, they successfully left Tianyao City.

Outside Tianyao City’s gates, hidden in a secluded corner, Wu Changnan and Zhou Haifu had been waiting for Ye Chenfeng and his group. Upon spotting them, Wu Changnan, who was at the Peak of the Ocean Gathering Realm Second Heavenly Layer, had a glint in his eye. He remarked, "Those little brats have finally come out."

Zhou Haifu, the hunchbacked elder at the Peak of the Ocean Gathering Realm Fifth Heavenly Layer, cast a glance at Ye Chenfeng’s group. Because none of them had concealed their spiritual energy, Zhou Haifu discerned their cultivation levels in an instant. With a disdainful smirk, he commented, "Old Wu, they’re just four Spirit Communication Realm novices. Let’s trail them from a distance for now; it’s not convenient to act at the city gates."

At the same time.

As Ye Chenfeng’s group had just stepped out of the city gates, the shopkeeper of the Divine Artifact Pavilion, the rotund Zhu Mingqian, also received the news. His chubby face trembled slightly, malice flashing in his eyes as he said to Hua Zhao beside him, "We must ensure that those four little brats die without leaving a trace."

Hua Zhao nodded and replied, "Rest assured, young master. Those boys only possess Spirit Communication Realm cultivation. Escaping from our grasp would be impossible."

As Zhu Mingqian and Hua Zhao departed from the Divine Artifact Pavilion, Shui Ziyan and Yang Qingshan from the Ziyun Auction House had already arrived at the city gates. That was because agents under Shui Ziyan’s leadership had been monitoring He Ping’s group and had also noticed a group trailing them outside the city gates.

Thus, Shui Ziyan and Yang Qingshan acted decisively, thinking that this might present an opportunity to assist the mysterious Artifact Refiner. However, Shui Ziyan’s agents had only detected Wu Changnan and Zhou Haifu, unaware that yet another faction had also set their sights on Ye Chenfeng and company.

...

Ye Chenfeng and his comrades were oblivious to the fact that three separate groups were now following them due to their departure. Of course, Ye Chenfeng first noticed Wu Changnan and Zhou Haifu, who were tracking them the closest. His brow furrowed slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his lips as he muttered, "It seems some people really don’t know when to quit."

Walking alongside Ye Chenfeng, He Ping asked, "Boss, what do you mean? Are we being followed?"

Ye Chenfeng, possessing extremely keen senses, nonchalantly nodded. His gaze settled on a dense forest roughly a kilometer ahead, and he said, "Let’s head into that forest up ahead for a break and take care of those relentless pests."

Neither He Ping, Huang Chongyi, nor Xiang Xiaoyi showed any signs of worry. After all, the Nine Nether Ice Lion Little Bai resting on Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder was a Creation Realm beast. To them, apart from Wu Changnan of Qingyang Sect, only the Divine Artifact Pavilion’s men could be trailing them. With Little Bai around, they were confident that no issues could arise.

Ye Chenfeng’s group dashed into the dense forest swiftly. Observing Ye Chenfeng’s sudden acceleration, Wu Changnan and Zhou Haifu frowned. Wu Changnan speculated, "Could they have spotted us following them? Are they trying to use the terrain of the forest to escape?"

Without hesitation, Wu Changnan and Zhou Haifu surged forward at full speed. But when their figures darted into the forest, they saw Ye Chenfeng and company leisurely seated on a large boulder. Ye Chenfeng, in particular, was gazing at them with an amused expression.

Ye Chenfeng picked up Little Bai, who was perched on his shoulder, and gently stroked its head, while smiling. "After stalking us for so long, aren’t you exhausted? Want to take a seat too?"

Wu Changnan narrowed his eyes and asked grimly, "Kid, you knew all along that we were following you?"

"What else?" Ye Chenfeng replied placidly.

The hunchbacked elder Zhou Haifu suddenly sneered. "Old Wu, could this brat have a screw loose? They’re just four Spirit Communication Realm minors. Do they seriously think they’re masters at the Creation Realm? Sitting here waiting for us—laughable!"

Wu Changnan couldn’t shake the unsettling feeling in his gut, unnerved by the group’s unusual calmness. Still, he had no reason to retreat now. Fixing his gaze on Ye Chenfeng, he spoke, "Kid, if you’re smart, you’ll reveal all your secrets to us. We might just give you a painless death."

Sitting beside Ye Chenfeng, Huang Chongyi retorted, "Dung-hauler old man, who do you think you’re threatening? Believe it or not, even the little kitty in our boss’s arms can swat you to death in an instant!"

At the mention of "kitty," Little Bai, who had been lounging lazily in Ye Chenfeng’s embrace, opened its eyes slightly and shot Huang Chongyi a menacing glare. Cold sweat instantly formed on Huang Chongyi’s forehead.

As for Wu Changnan, upon hearing the epithet "Dung-hauler old man," his facial muscles twitched uncontrollably. He recalled how Ye Chenfeng and company had provoked him outside the Divine Artifact Pavilion days earlier, reigniting his fury as the overwhelming power of his Ocean Gathering Realm Second Heavenly Layer Peak cultivation surged around him.

Standing by, Zhou Haifu harshly commanded, "Old Wu, don’t waste time on these kids. Let’s cripple them, sever their tendons, and deal with them afterward."
