Ye Cang spoke indifferently.

Hearing these words, shock instantly flashed through the eyes of everyone present.

As martial artists, they had naturally heard of such a miraculous healing medicine.

The family members also knew a thing or two about it.

Yet despite knowing that a treasure like Dragon Marrow Paste existed, one that could fully heal Wu Guang,

it was simply that the staggering price of three hundred million Huaxia Coins made everyone reluctant to bring it up.

Therefore, no one held out much hope for Wu Guang's injuries.

But now...

Ye Cang walked up and placed the Dragon Marrow Paste to the side.

"You only need to apply it all over your body, and your fractured meridians and bones will recover as good as new."

Upon hearing this, Wu Guang sat in astonishment for several seconds, tears suddenly welling up in the corners of his eyes.

"Thank you, Ye Cang, I..."

"No need to say more. Brothers don't need to say thanks. When we meet again in the future, I hope you have already broken through to a martial artist."

Ye Cang gently patted Wu Guang's shoulder, then looked at Lin Yan and the crowd gathered at the door.

"I am going to leave. I'll have Master Wang say a word, and you can wait a few days before slowly moving out."

The rules of the martial arts hall could not be broken.

Now that he was leaving, this was the Generals' residential area, and Shi Feng and the others could not be allowed to stay here permanently.

"Take care, everyone!"

Ye Cang glanced at the crowd and said in a low voice.

"Why don't you stay for breakfast before leaving?"

Wu Guang's mother spoke softly.

"No need, Auntie. Master Wang and the others are still waiting for me."

With that, Ye Cang smiled slightly, turned around, and left.

Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall.

In the General-grade building.

By the time Ye Cang arrived, Hong Chen and Wang Xu had already been waiting for some time.

"You're here! Then let's set off!"

Seeing Ye Cang arrive, Hong Chen did not waste words and spoke directly.

"Yes, Venerable Hong!"

Ye Cang nodded.

At this moment, Wang Xu walked up to Ye Cang and handed over a bank card with a password written on it.

"Master Wang, what is this?"

Ye Cang did not take it and asked doubtfully.

"Hehe! Do you still remember the Feng, Wang, Bai, and Jiang four major families as well as the Luo Family? Their Generals suffered heavy losses at your hands, coupled with your fearsome reputation for slaying Xue Long, they are afraid of retaliation and came to the martial arts hall to beg for mercy. This is their compensation for you."

As he spoke, Wang Xu shoved the bank card into Ye Cang's hand.

"Twenty billion Huaxia Coins from each family, one hundred billion in total."

"Hehe! They only just thought of compensation now?"

Ye Cang looked at the card in his hand, sneered, and felt somewhat displeased.

If not for hacking, his ashes would have been scattered by these people long ago.

Now that they saw they couldn't beat him, they came to beg for mercy—it was simply laughable.

If he didn't lack time, he would have liked to personally visit these families one by one and have a nice, long chat with them.

And there was also Huang Heyu; he couldn't let him go either.

Xue Long dared to make a move against him right in front of Venerable Hong Chen, and this man had contributed even more effort than Xue Long who struck the blow.

Otherwise, Xue Long wouldn't have dared to make a move even if he had a hundred times the courage.

"Ye Cang, there are less than one hundred Generals in total in Crimson Cloud City, and you've already killed thirty or forty of them. You should leave the rest to guard against the rampage of fierce beasts in the gray fog zone!"

"If you strike again, I'm afraid not only will Huang Heyu not agree, but even the Martial Artists Administration won't agree either. After all, if there are too few Generals indirectly clearing out the gray fog zone outside the city and a beast riot breaks out, the ones who suffer in the end will be the common people of Crimson Cloud City."

Wang Xu said with a wry smile, attempting to persuade him.

"Alright! Let this matter end here. If you truly execute those few Peak War Venerables, it will also stir up quite a bit of trouble. Not only do those few veteran lineages have ties with the Huang Family, but they also have business dealings with many major families in Vermilion Bird King City."

"If they lose face and you go to the King City, they will naturally cause trouble for you. It's better to save yourself one less trouble for now. Just take the compensation first, and when the gray fog disperses one day, you will have plenty of time to settle accounts slowly."

"Besides, in recent years, the Hall Master and the others have discovered some clues about the gray fog, and many War Kings cannot spare themselves. Coupled with the fact that this is the territory of the Vermilion Bird King, that is why they have dared to become increasingly unbridled."

Hong Chen also chimed in from the side.

Hearing this, Ye Cang suppressed his thoughts and nodded.

"Fine! Then we'll settle accounts later!"

"In that case, let's set off now!"

With that, Hong Chen walked toward the door.

Following Wang Xu and the other man, Ye Cang walked up to the rooftop in puzzlement.

To his astonishment, this place turned out to be a helipad.

Not far in front of him sat a silver-gray fighter jet about thirty meters long, its entire body exhibiting a cold, sleek, and fiercely aggressive geometric aesthetic.

"This is the Ling Tian-grade Venerable fighter jet used by our martial arts hall members for transportation. It is built by combining technology excavated from some civilization ruins with super-strong alloys currently synthesized from fierce beast materials."

"It can not only defend against attacks from Beast Venerable-grade flying fierce beasts, but its maximum flight speed can also reach ten Mach."

Walking ahead, Hong Chen introduced.

Behind him, both Wang Xu and Ye Cang flash a trace of shock in their eyes.

"Of course, the manufacturing cost of this fighter jet is extremely high. I naturally couldn't afford it alone; this is our team's shared property, and I'm only temporarily using it this once."

After explaining, Hong Chen opened the cabin door and stepped inside first.

"Master Wang! Thank you for your care during this period!"

Ye Cang turned around and looked at Wang Xu beside him.

"What are you talking about? With your aptitude, you will undoubtedly display an peerless demeanor sooner or later, and I merely gave you a push!"

Wang Xu waved his hand.

"Go on quickly! Don't keep Venerable Hong waiting!"

"Alright! Master Wang! Until we meet again!"

With that, Ye Cang walked into the cabin.

Several seconds later, the fighter jet lifted off, piercing through the clouds and heading toward Vermilion Bird King City.

Watching the disappearing fighter jet, Wang Xu wore a look of deep emotion.

He believed that it wouldn't take long before Ye Cang's name would definitely spread throughout the entire Vermilion Bird King City.

On the other side.

In a mansion in Crimson Cloud City.

Huang Heyu watched the fighter jet soaring away with icy eyes, pondered for a moment, and dialed a phone call.

Ye Cang already held a grudge against him.

He had to strike first to gain the upper hand while he could.

Otherwise, with this kid's growth rate, given time, he would definitely amount to something.

When that time came, he would be in danger.

At an altitude of ten thousand meters.

The fighter jet was intelligently controlled, and its speed broke the sound barrier in less than several seconds.

Looking out the window, it was filled with hazy, gray mist.

Even though they had reached such a height, the gray fog still persisted.

"The gray fog! Exactly how did it appear?"

Ye Cang murmured softly.

At this moment, Hong Chen walked up to him.

"Vermilion Bird King City is not far from Crimson Cloud City; we will arrive in about ten minutes."

Hearing this, Ye Cang looked at Hong Chen.

"Venerable Hong, could you briefly introduce the factions of Vermilion Bird King City to me?"

A King City was different from a subordinate small city, and very little information could be found online.

It would be best if he could understand it in advance.

"Since you asked, I'll tell you briefly."

"Through the incident in Crimson Cloud City, you surely understand by now that strength is the rule. The set of rules by which the world operated before the gray fog erupted has gradually become obsolete."

"And Vermilion Bird King City is the King City among the five King cities across the Huaxia landmass where 'strength is supreme' is most prominently manifested."

"It was founded by the Vermilion Bird King after he became a king by clearing away the gray fog, and it is a place where lineages stand in forests. The most powerful faction unquestionably belongs to the Zhu Family, the lineage where the Vermilion Bird King resides. There are a total of two War Kings holding down the fort within it, possessing extremely high authority in Vermilion Bird King City."

"In addition to that, there are two major king-affiliated families, namely the Zhao Family and the Tian Family, with one War King in each of these two families."

"Beneath the four major War King families are the nine major War Venerable families. Not only do their lineages all possess Peak War Venerable foundations, but ordinary War Venerables also number in the dozens or even close to one hundred. The Huang Family is one of them, and its overall strength can rank in the top five among the nine major War Venerable families."
