Guardian Deity of the Gamma Empire

Ye Feng ignored the shocked Gu Ni and Ya Fei. He glanced in one direction and said, "Since you're here, why hide?"

As soon as the word "hidden" was uttered, a wave of energy rippled outwards in that direction.

Almost instantly, a person emerged from a dark corner, blood trickling from the corner of their mouth.

"Old Jia!"

Ya Fei recognized the person dressed in hemp clothing.

Although that person looked like an ordinary person, his eyes were incredibly deep. Moreover, he possessed an aura that ordinary people lacked. It was an aura that could only be acquired through special education and a unique life experience—the aura of a king.

Old Jia: Guardian of the Gamma Empire, one of the ten strongest figures in the Gamma Empire, possessing the blood of the Gamma Imperial Family. He has only one mission: to protect the Gamma Empire Gamma Empire and eliminate all Dou Zhe and forces that threaten the Gamma Imperial Family.

Old Jia stared at Ye Feng with fear in his eyes, and the two labels of a powerful figure were uttered heavily from his mouth. "Fighting! Venerable!"

"Dou Zun!" Ya Fei turned her head and stared at Ye Feng.

"He's at the Dou Zun level?" Gu Ni's eyes widened, staring at Ye Feng as if he were a monster. "How is this possible? He's so young. He's reached the sixth rank in alchemy, and his cultivation has also reached the Dou Zun level. How... how is this possible?"

As an alchemist, Gu Ni knew that it was already extremely difficult for someone to focus on one profession and achieve success in it. However, Ye Feng before him had attained achievements in both alchemy and cultivation that everyone in the Gamma Empire could only look up to.

Human energy is finite. Gu Ni still doubted how Ye Feng could possibly be a Dou Zun!

Ya Fei had no doubts about what Old Jia said. If Ye Feng could injure Old Jia, who was at the Dou Huang realm, then Ye Feng was at least a Dou Zong expert.

"Weren't you going to kill me? Why aren't you doing it now?" Ye Feng's tone was calm, his eyes serene. But his words, even in the sweltering heat of midsummer, caused cold sweat to break out on the forehead of Old Jia, a Douhuang realm cultivator.

"S-senpai."

Old Jia's lips twitched awkwardly, and he cupped his hands in a fist and said, "You're joking."

"You came all the way from the capital to get here, and now you're not going to do anything?" Ye Feng continued to mock Old Jia.

Half a month ago, Ye Feng obtained the Strange Flame Emperor Flame. The commotion alarmed the city lord of Wutan City.

The city lord of Wutan City reported this strange event to the royal family. The royal family immediately concluded that someone had obtained the Heavenly Flames. Therefore, Old Jia, the royal family's guardian, came to the city to see who had obtained the Heavenly Flames, and also to see if he could eliminate the culprit and obtain the Heavenly Flames for Princess Yue'er, who possessed a talent for alchemy.

That's why Old Jia is here.

As a time traveler, Ye Feng naturally guessed why Old Jia was here.

"It's a misunderstanding, really a misunderstanding. Senior, I was just passing by when I smelled the fragrance of the pills here, so I came in out of curiosity," Old Jia explained with a forced smile.

"Are you really just passing by?" Ye Feng asked.

"I was really just passing by. Senior, I apologize for disturbing your alchemy. I will leave immediately." Old Jia "you" repeatedly, his expression extremely respectful, completely lacking the dignity of a royal guardian.

Ye Feng was able to use the Space Lock to instantly pull Old Jia out of the shadows, which made Old Jia very wary of Ye Feng.

Old Jia was absolutely certain that Ye Feng possessed the cultivation level of Dou Zun, possibly Dou Zun at the ninth level, or even a Dou Sheng, a legendary figure in the Gamma Empire.

Old Jia dared not offend such a person in the slightest. Now, he only wanted to leave this villa as soon as possible.

"You can leave, but you'll have to cut off your own leg. This is the price you have to pay for trespassing into my villa without my permission," Ye Feng said.

"Cut off your own leg?" Old Jia stood there, stunned.

Ya Fei and Gu Ni were stunned and speechless.

Old Jia is the guardian of the Gamma Imperial Family. Anyone who dares to harm him will face the Gamma Empire's million-strong army. That's a million-strong army! Even Teng Shan, the Clan Chief of the Mittel Family, wouldn't dare speak to Old Jia in such a tone. Yet Ye Feng actually made Old Jia cut off his own leg.

"If I were to make a move, it would be two legs," Ye Feng said.

Old Jia: "..."

Old Jia frowned deeply, his eyes filled with apprehension as he looked at Ye Feng. Despite Ye Feng's overwhelming power, he dared not harbor the slightest anger. A thought struck him, and he retrieved a medicinal herb from his Storage Ring —a herb shrouded in a thin mist.

The medicinal herb resembled a large Chinese cabbage, but its texture was crystal clear, like a piece of fine jade. A thin layer of white mist swirled around it. Its appearance caused the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees Celsius.

"Ice Crystal Cabbage".

Ya Fei recognized the medicinal herb. Its name was Ice Crystal Cabbage, a seventh-grade herb. It was one of the treasures in the Gamma Imperial Family Treasury.

Old Jia a forced smile, "Senior, this is all a misunderstanding. Would you like to discuss this?"

"Haven't I seen medicinal herbs before?" Ye Feng asked.

"This..." Old Jia a beat. He wondered why Ye Feng wouldn't take the "salt water" back. Even after he had gone to such lengths, Ye Feng still refused to back down.

"Enough with the nonsense, just cut off your own leg. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, I wouldn't mind helping you out myself," Ye Feng said.

If Ye Feng were to do it himself, it would cost him his two legs.

Old Jia the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and suffered a silent loss. He put away the seventh-grade medicinal herb Ice Crystal Cabbage, and struck his own shinbone with his palm, breaking it with a single blow.

Old Jia gasped in pain. Even so, he still clasped his hands respectfully and asked, "Senior, may I leave now?"

"Get lost!" Ye Feng said.

Even so, Old Jia still dared not leave directly. He bowed respectfully to Ye Feng at a ninety-degree angle before finally leaving the place.

Even after Old Jia left, Ya Fei was still in a daze.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Ya Fei Ya Fei never have believed it was true. The dignified guardian of the Gamma Empire's royal family, Jia Xingtian, one of the Gamma Empire's top ten experts, was treating a young man with such utmost respect. Even with his leg broken, he still wouldn't dare offend this mysterious youth before him.

"What exactly is his background?"

Ya Fei began to ponder Ye Feng's true identity. Ya Fei felt that Ye Feng must be from the Central Continent. Because among the surrounding empires, large and small, she had never heard of any young man from any other empire possessing such a high level of cultivation.

"You want to see me?" Ye Feng asked.

"Mm." Ya Fei nodded.

"Now that you've seen them, what do you want to say?" Ye Feng asked.

"Senior, this is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you'll accept it." Ya Fei smiled awkwardly, her smile slightly embarrassed. She took out a fifth-grade medicinal herb.

Ya Fei knew that Ye Feng hadn't even glanced at the seventh-grade medicinal herbs that Old Jia had just given her. Ye Feng would look down on the fifth-grade herbs she was now offering even less.
