Ten minutes later, Li Huai sent Wang Fu's movements to Ye Wudao's phone.

Just as he had expected, that old bastard Wang Fu had quickly left the old orphanage after he did.

"Jingyuan Villa District!"

"That old man certainly took plenty after framing me! He's even living in a villa now!"

Looking at Wang Fu's latest GPS location, Ye Wudao murmured softly.

He opened the navigation app on his phone, his body surged into the air, and he flew toward the Jingyuan Villa District.

In the Jingyuan Villa District, Wang Fu lay on a genuine leather sofa, staring at the red wine glass swirling in his hand.

"How did that brat get out of prison so fast?"

"Those two old hags, they wouldn't have ratted me out, would they?"

"But even if they did, so what? He's just a wet-behind-the-ears kid, and I'm a millionaire now."

"Even if that brat knows I was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, what of it?"

"He couldn't even get past the gate of the place I live in now!"

"But... why has my right eyelid been twitching like this?"

"Once the demolition money arrives, I'll leave Sea City immediately. If Ye Wudao decides to take revenge, he'll be in the shadows while I'm in the light. It's really hard to guard against that!"

He sipped his wine while muttering to himself.

At this moment, there was none of the simple, rustic air he had shown when chatting with Ye Wudao; his entire being radiated craftiness.

"So, you do realize that I'm in the light and you're in the shadows!"

"You old geezer, you really are exceptionally cunning!"

Suddenly, Ye Wudao's voice rang out from the second floor of the villa.

Wang Fu was just about to take a sip of wine, but his hand froze in mid-air.

He slowly looked up toward the second floor, his pupils constricting sharply as he hissed, "You... how did you get in?"

Ye Wudao walked down from the second floor step by step, saying, "I just walked in, that's how!"

Seeing Ye Wudao approaching him, Wang Fu hurriedly grabbed the landline phone on the table and pressed the "1" key.

This was the villa district's call system, used to summon security.

Ye Wudao watched Wang Fu's nimble movements, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Where was the sluggishness of an old man that Wang Fu had displayed before?

His movements were incredibly agile!

He smiled faintly and flicked a strand of true energy at the landline phone on the table.

"Bang..."

The phone shattered instantly, turning into a cloud of debris.

"Xiantian... Xiantian Realm?"

Wang Fu held the receiver, staring at Ye Wudao in disbelief.

Although he had never practiced martial arts, he watched the news in the security office every day and had some understanding of the martial world.

This ability to project true energy was the hallmark of a Xiantian Realm expert.

He looked at Ye Wudao in disbelief. If Ye Wudao had been in the Xiantian Realm before, why had he been thrown into prison?

A Xiantian Realm expert was not someone the Ye Family or the Li Family could afford to provoke.

If Ye Wudao had advanced to the Xiantian Realm after entering prison, wasn't that a bit too terrifying?

Ye Wudao hadn't even been in prison for a year; how could he have possibly reached the Xiantian Realm?

An eighteen-year-old Xiantian expert?

He had watched the news for years and had never seen such a thing.

He looked at Ye Wudao and smiled, "Wudao, is there some kind of misunderstanding?"

"Did Wang Cuihua and Ma Xianglian tell you something?"

"Don't listen to those two old hags' nonsense. Your being framed by the Ye Family has nothing to do with me!"

Hearing this, Ye Wudao chuckled, "How did you know I came here for that?"

As soon as these words left his mouth, Wang Fu froze.

That's right!

Ye Wudao hadn't even said he came because of the Ye Family affair. By saying that, hadn't he just confessed to it himself?

Wang Fu slowly stood up and began to back away, saying, "Don't do anything rash! I'm telling you, murder is against the law!"

"There are surveillance cameras everywhere here. If you kill me, you won't be able to escape."

Ye Wudao glanced at the surveillance cameras overhead, nodded, and said, "Thanks for the reminder!"

As his voice fell, he flicked his finger, shooting out several wisps of true energy that blasted the surveillance cameras into powder.

He looked at Wang Fu and sneered, "Now, surely no one will know that it was I who killed you!"

Wang Fu froze, then slapped himself in frustration.

Immediately after, his knees buckled, and with a "thud," he collapsed to the floor.

"Wudao! I am not a man, I am a beast!"

"I shouldn't have listened to the Ye Family's slander and incited Wang Cuihua and Ma Xianglian to commit perjury against you!"

"I was blinded by greed; I am lower than a pig or a dog!"

"You are a magnanimous person, please spare me!"

"Slap... slap... slap..."

He knelt on the ground, begging for mercy while slapping his own face.

As he slapped, he suddenly stopped.

He sensed something was wrong; he had been at it for so long, yet Ye Wudao hadn't said a single word.

Looking up, he saw Ye Wudao sitting on the sofa opposite him, watching him with great interest.

Seeing Wang Fu stop, Ye Wudao laughed, "Keep slapping! Why did you stop?"

"If you slap in a way that pleases me, perhaps I might spare your life today!"

Hearing this, Wang Fu narrowed his eyes and scrambled to his feet.

He realized that the act of admitting fault and showing remorse was useless against Ye Wudao.

He stared at Ye Wudao and said in a deep voice, "Ye Wudao, don't push me too far!"

"I'm telling you, even if you are a Xiantian Realm expert, I am not afraid of you!"

"The one standing behind me is the Capital Wang Family; I am a collateral descendant of the Capital Wang Family."

"Do you know the Capital Wang Family? It is the family of Grandmaster Wang Pingcheng."

Ye Wudao raised an eyebrow, "Wang Pingcheng? Never heard of him!"

"However, if you want to gild your own lily, at least find a better excuse!"

"You are seventy-nine this year; at your age, you would at most be a grandmaster's grandson."

"I have never heard of a grandmaster's grandson who has zero cultivation and was even expelled from the family."

"Sea City is over three thousand kilometers away from the capital; no matter how incompetent you are, you wouldn't be exiled to Sea City, would you?"

"Are you just trying to act like a big shot here after reading some news about grandmasters?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Fu's old face flushed red.

Ye Wudao was right; he had indeed just seen this Wang Pingcheng in the news.

He had intended to intimidate Ye Wudao, but instead, he had been mocked by him.

His eyes darted around, and he spoke again, "As long as you don't kill me, I can give you a peerless treasure, said to help one break through to the level above a grandmaster."

Hearing this, Ye Wudao burst into laughter, "Haha! Above a grandmaster? You?"

"Do you even know what lies above a grandmaster?"

"You're just spouting nonsense based on hearsay?"

"You don't have a shred of martial arts cultivation, so how would you know that thing can help someone reach a level above a grandmaster?"

"And when you're spouting nonsense, please have some self-awareness, will you?"

"You've been a security guard at Sunshine Orphanage for decades; where would you get such a peerless treasure?"

Hearing this, Wang Fu shouted, "Who says I don't have it?"

"Do you know Zhang Sanfeng?"

"Zhang Sanfeng had a disciple's disciple named Wang Zongyue!"

"Wang Zongyue was my twelfth-generation ancestor!"

"This peerless treasure of mine was obtained by my ancestor from Zhang Sanfeng and passed down through the generations."

"It's just that by my grandfather's generation, the method to use it had already been lost!"

Ye Wudao became instantly interested upon hearing this.

He didn't know who Wang Zongyue was, but he had heard the name Zhang Sanfeng from Qin Tianlong several times.

The last Land Immortal of the Dragon Kingdom—that title was not just for show.

If what Wang Fu said was true, and this treasure had indeed been passed down by Zhang Sanfeng, it might very well be a genuine treasure.

He looked at Wang Fu, keeping his inner thoughts hidden, and said dismissively, "If even your grandfather couldn't use it, do you think I could?"

"If you want to save your life, you should come up with a better reason!"

Once these words were spoken, Wang Fu was left speechless once again.

This time, he truly wasn't spouting nonsense; he really did possess a family heirloom.

However, Ye Wudao no longer trusted him.

He looked at Ye Wudao and said in a deep voice, "If I give this treasure to you, can you spare my life?"

Ye Wudao shrugged. "That depends on whether the item you bring out is enough to save your life."

"If you pull out some broken rock and try to tell me it's a peerless treasure,"

"do you really think I'll let you off?"

Wang Fu's expression turned grim. He stood in place, deep in thought for a long time, before finally speaking slowly, "Wait here, I'll go get it for you!"

Right now, he had only one thought: save his own life first.

He had so much money, a son and a daughter, two grandsons, and a granddaughter; he was at the age to enjoy family life, and he didn't want to die yet!

He was confident that his family heirloom was definitely something extraordinary; it was just that no one knew how to use it.

He felt that although he had harmed Ye Wudao, his crimes didn't warrant death.

As long as he could produce something that satisfied Ye Wudao, Ye Wudao shouldn't do anything to him!

He could also tell that Ye Wudao was interested in the peerless treasure he had mentioned.

This was perhaps... his only hope for survival!

Ye Wudao watched as Wang Fu walked step by step to the shrine, reaching into a hidden compartment beneath it to retrieve a ring.

He scanned the ring with his spiritual sense and discovered that it was indeed somewhat unusual.

When his spiritual sense swept over it, he couldn't even detect the ring's existence.

His eyes could see the pitch-black ring in Wang Fu's hand, but when his spiritual sense passed over it, there was nothing in Wang Fu's hand at all.
