"Indeed, there has always been blood feud between Chunqiu Pavilion and the Blood Evil Sect. Years ago, our sect’s Elder once killed a vice-master of the Chunqiu Pavilion."
"Therefore, the reason they are helping Zhu Fei so tirelessly, apart from so reasons still unknown to us, is surely linked significantly to the hatred between our two factions."
Elder Wu furrowed his brows, his tone considerably approving as he spoke.
However, as they conversed, unbeknownst to them, a leaf quietly fell from a tree not far from the five of them.
Zhu Fei’s transparent figure was coldly watching them, listening intently to everything they had just said without missing a single word.
Hmph! Blood Evil Sect, just wait for . When I return, it will be the day of your disaster!
While Zhu Fei thought to himself, his body had already disappeared amidst a breeze, vanishing atop the treetops.
In just a few breaths’ ti, his figure had completely moved away from the vicinity of Elder Wu and the others.
...
Two days later, Zhu Fei appeared in a city near Changbai Mountain, on the outskirts of Donglin City.
His destination this ti was a primitive jungle deep within Changbai Mountain.
This was because, according to his recent online research and what Wen Lei had revealed to him, Red Blood Ginseng and Light Flower, two herbs deed as spiritual dicine, were most likely to be found in this untouched area of Changbai Mountain.
Now, Zhu Fei only needed to follow the outskirts straight ahead, then cross a stretch of forest linearly to reach Changbai Mountain.
"Wait! How co I sense the ’waves’ of spiritual energy?"
Just as Zhu Fei was about to continue sprinting forward, his sharp intuition suddenly detected sothing unusual.
A faint trace of spiritual energy appeared within his sensory range.
"Could this breath and ’wave’ be from a Spirit Stone?"
Talking to himself, Zhu Fei felt a surge of eagerness.
"If these ’waves’ really are from a Spirit Stone..."
His eyes narrowed imdiately; he knew that if his sensing was not mistaken, then his speculation was very likely correct.
Spirit Stones were one of the most indispensable resources for cultivators.
Since his rebirth and transmigration, this was the first ti in this world that he had sensed the ’waves’ from a Spirit Stone.
"No! If this source of ’waves’ really is from a Spirit Stone, I must find a way to obtain it no matter what!"
As he spoke, Zhu Fei’s gaze carefully surveyed his surroundings.
A sharp golden sparkle suddenly burst from his eyes.
"Wait, that car across there...?"
Suddenly, Zhu Fei’s gaze sharply turned to a stretch limousine driving toward a villa not far away.
"This is it!"
Sensing the general direction, Zhu Fei hesitated no longer; his form suddenly left a trail of afterimages behind and he dashed straight toward the stretch limousine.
...
Inside the stretch limousine, a beautiful woman dressed in a white business suit was sitting.
However, her hands were tied up, and on each side of her sat a man with a fierce aura, firmly trapping her in the middle.
Her fiery eyes and makeup-free, beautiful face showed determination and defiance as she stared intently at a young man sitting in the front row.
"Ma Shuai, how is this different from kidnapping? Don’t you care about the consequences at all? Although I, Shen Yuyan, may not have any connections, if you dare do sothing to , I won’t let you get away with it!"
"Hehehe..."
Upon hearing Shen Yuyan’s words, the young man in the front seat, referred to as Ma Shuai, suddenly chuckled softly.
His gaze was sinister, and his handso face, a bit pale from overindulgence, had an eerie and malevolent air about him.
He sharply turned his head, his eyes fixated on Shen Yuyan, and a mocking smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Shen Yuyan, I did give you opportunities before, but how did you treat ? Either with coldness, hesitations, and sotis outright rejection of my invitations."
"Humph! Who do you think you are? Just a CEO of Shen Corporation, right? Daring to repeatedly reject , Ma Shuai, and deny face, I’ve run out of patience."
Continuing, his face revealed a sinister smirk.
"I’m not afraid to tell you, there hasn’t been a woman I’ve fancied that has slipped through my grasp so far. Even if you go out and speak about this matter, it won’t affect at all; the only person who will lose face and suffer is you, Shen Yuyan!"
"Hahaha...!"
After Ma Shuai had finished speaking, he burst into loud laughter.
His laughter, filled with pleasure and pride, infuriated Shen Yuyan, causing her cheeks to flush red.
"Ma Shuai! You dare!"
Shen Yuyan bit her lips so hard that she even broke the skin, leaving behind blood.
Yet her eyebrows remained unfurrowed, her gaze still firm, her expression still cold.
"Haha! What wouldn’t I dare?"
Ma Shuai laughed again.
"I advise you to be more compliant, or else, hmm!"
"Ma Shuai! You... you’re despicable! You’re simply not human!"
Shen Yuyan, infuriated by Ma Shuai’s previous words, trembled all over, her heart sinking deep.
She felt a sense of lancholy as her father was a compulsive gambler who, in order to pay off debts, not only sold a portion of the company’s shares at a low price to loan sharks but even mortgaged her mother as gambling collateral, leading to her mother’s suicide and her grandfather falling seriously ill.
Now, just as she was finally reviving the remaining half of the company, she faced this almost despairing incident.
Was her life really going to be ruined by such scum?
"Screech...!"
Suddenly, just as Shen Yuyan was feeling sorrowful and desperate, the stretch limousine they were riding in abruptly braked!
When everyone regained their bearings and looked up, they saw a young man’s figure, firmly blocking the front of their car!
