This Grudge is a Bit Hard to Avenge!

After walking forward for about a hundred meters, the view suddenly opened up.

This was an empty parking lot, where hundreds of commercial vehicles of various sizes were parked.

Qin Tianlong and Zhang Hankuang were standing at the entrance of the parking lot.

Qin Tianlong held a long spear in his hand, while Zhang Hankuang held a Tang dao.

Hu Lianfeng hurriedly quickened his pace. He walked up to Qin Tianlong and whispered, "Elder Qin, sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Qin Tianlong nodded, glanced at Hu Lianfeng, and asked, "Is it done?"

Hu Lianfeng nodded and replied, "Everything is taken care of!"

Qin Tianlong looked at the grey commercial vehicle in front and said, "Then let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hankuang, who was beside him, quickly stepped forward to drive.

Ye Wudao followed closely behind the three of them and sat in the back row.

The three men placed their weapons in the trunk, which couldn't be closed and remained wide open.

After getting into the car, Hu Lianfeng, sitting in the passenger seat, took a tablet computer out of the glove box.

He operated the tablet for a moment and said to Zhang Hankuang, "Navigation is set!"

Zhang Hankuang nodded and slammed his foot on the gas pedal.

"The route is a bit off, go left a little!"

"Go straight, turn right..."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Hu Lianfeng watched the route on the tablet while directing Zhang Hankuang's driving, occasionally looking up to scan the surroundings.

Ye Wudao finally understood what Hu Lianfeng meant by "observing the situation."

No wonder Hu Lianfeng had him sit in the back row back on Blue Star; it seemed the three of them had coordinated like this many times before.

Zhang Hankuang was responsible for driving, while Hu Lianfeng was responsible for observing road conditions.

Qin Tianlong appeared the most relaxed, but he was actually the backbone of the entire team, responsible for overseeing the situation.

"Ding!"

Suddenly, a system notification sound appeared in his mind; it was a system message alert.

[Your martial art Eight Extremes Fist has reached the introductory level. You are in high spirits and grow braver with every fight. Technique proficiency +20/minute.]

Opening the system panel, he saw that the Eight Extremes Fist had indeed reached the introductory level.

Only about an hour had passed since he started learning Eight Extremes Fist.

According to the automatic cultivation speed of Eight Extremes Fist, one hour would only yield 600 points of technique proficiency, and logically, it should take an hour and a half to reach the introductory level.

However, when he opened the detailed page for technique cultivation, he understood instantly.

His martial art was actively leaving his body to fight against demonic beasts, so in addition to the proficiency gained from automatic cultivation, there was also proficiency gained from combat bonuses.

Although the combat bonus proficiency wasn't constant, he could still gain it seven or eight times an hour.

That was why Eight Extremes Fist was able to reach the introductory level within an hour.

The moment Eight Extremes Fist reached the introductory level, some essential insights regarding the art suddenly appeared in his mind.

He closed his eyes and began to comprehend these mysteries, as if a grandmaster of the Eight Extremes Fist were personally imparting his skills to him.

His understanding of Eight Extremes Fist instantly ascended to a new level.

After a while, having finished digesting the information, he glanced at the system panel.

His realm experience points had already reached 450, and the Northern Dark Divine Art had 2500 points of proficiency at the introductory stage.

In another three hours, he would be able to advance to the Body Forging Realm, and the Northern Dark Divine Art would also reach the minor completion stage.

Thinking of this, he felt both excited and afraid.

The three people beside him were all seasoned veterans of the martial path; would his rapid advancement to the Body Forging Realm arouse their suspicion?

What if Qin Tianlong and the others suspected he possessed some supreme treasure and decided to dissect him?

The key was that if he wanted to become strong, he couldn't stop cultivating his techniques, and he couldn't stop even if he wanted to.

"Sigh..."

He let out a soft sigh.

Hu Lianfeng, sitting in the passenger seat, heard Ye Wudao sigh suddenly and asked, "Disciple, what's wrong?"

Only then did Ye Wudao realize that he hadn't just sighed in his heart, but had let it out audibly.

He hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's nothing! I was just thinking about some unhappy matters."

Hu Lianfeng pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Are you thinking about how Ye Zhenshan framed you?"

Ye Wudao raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Hu Lianfeng to be so good at filling in the blanks, so he quickly responded, "Yes!"

Hu Lianfeng continued to ask, "By the way, I've forgotten to ask all this time—you also have the surname Ye. Could it be that you have some connection to the Ye Family?"

Ye Wudao nodded and said softly, "I am Ye Zhenshan's illegitimate son."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Tianlong, who was sitting beside him, opened his eyes and cast a glance at him.

Zhang Hankuang, who was driving, asked, "You're Ye Zhenshan's illegitimate son? Then why did Ye Zhenshan send you to prison?"

Ye Wudao bit his lip and replied, "Ye Zhenshan's son, Ye Mingyuan, killed someone in a hit-and-run."

"I only found out I was Ye Zhenshan's illegitimate son when the police came to find me."

"Because I look like Ye Mingyuan, Ye Zhenshan fabricated evidence and bribed witnesses to make me take the fall for Ye Mingyuan's prison sentence."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hankuang let out a low scoff, "That Ye Zhenshan is truly a piece of trash. With the Ye Family's methods, they could have just found anyone to take the blame; was there really a need to send his own illegitimate son to prison?"

Hu Lianfeng, sitting beside him, chimed in, "Don't you know? Although Ye Haipeng only has one son in Ye Zhenshan, he has always looked down on him because Ye Zhenshan is so incompetent."

"For the sake of the Ye Family, Ye Haipeng tried every possible means to arrange a marriage between Ye Zhenshan and the Li Family, and in the end, Ye Zhenshan married the Li Family's third daughter."

"I've dealt with Ye Haipeng before and have even met Ye Zhenshan once. That Ye Zhenshan is a total henpecked husband."

"Think about it: Ye Haipeng only has one son, yet he had him marry the Li Family's third daughter. What do you think the reason for that is?"

Zhang Hankuang, listening from the side, understood exactly what Hu Lianfeng meant.

He chuckled softly, "That Ye Haipeng is an old fox. He knew Ye Zhenshan was useless, so he went to cling to the Li Family."

"Li Yaozu is an expert at the Xiantian Entry Level. As long as Ye Zhenshan doesn't divorce the Li Family's third daughter, the Ye Family won't collapse, at least not after Ye Haipeng dies."

"Plus, since Ye Zhenshan and the Li Family's third daughter have a son, even if the Ye Family were swallowed by the Li Family or targeted by enemies, that little brat Ye Mingyuan would at least be safe."

"Leaving a drop of Ye Family blood in this world—not a bad deal!"

After saying this, he paused and added with a hint of pity, "Kid, I'm afraid this revenge of yours will be difficult to exact!"

Ye Wudao was immersed in their conversation; it was only now that he learned the Ye Family had such a history.

Although he didn't know how powerful the Li Family was, he knew that a Xiantian Entry Level expert was not someone he could currently handle.

This was a conclusion he had reached by observing Elder Qin beside him.

He snapped back to reality and asked, "Senior Zhang, what do you mean when you say my revenge will be difficult?"

"Are you saying that even if I advance to the Xiantian Realm, I still won't be able to take my revenge?"

Zhang Hankuang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Haha! It's good that you have ambition, kid, but the Xiantian Realm isn't so easy to reach."

"If the Xiantian Realm were that easy to attain, I wouldn't be stuck at the Houtian Peak at over forty years old."

"Ye Zhenshan is a notorious henpecked husband; he definitely doesn't want to have anything to do with you."

"The only reason Ye Zhenshan would suddenly seek you out now is that his wife wants to use you, his illegitimate son, to take the fall for something."

"If you want revenge, you have to deal with not just the Ye Family, but the Li Family as well."

"Both of these are major families, ranking within the top ten in Sea City."

"If you want revenge, I'm afraid even Xiantian Entry Level won't be enough; you'll need the strength of a Xiantian Minor Accomplishment."

Ye Wudao narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "As long as I am alive, I will definitely have this revenge."

Once these words were spoken, the car fell silent.

Qin Tianlong raised an eyebrow, glanced at Ye Wudao, and said nothing.
