Chapter 9: Spare My Life, Great Hero, I'll Be Your Ox or Horse

"Kid, what did you just call me?"

The Crimson Fiend sneered, looking down at the two people before him with disdain.

He was in a good mood; so much blood food would last him a long time.

Furthermore, he had a peculiar habit: he particularly enjoyed watching ants struggle before him, their faces contorted in pain!

Seeing the ants' despair made him feel incredibly comfortable!

Extremely satisfying!

"Bufan, what do you think about this fiend being your mount?" Hua Yunfei asked, hands behind his back, casting a casual glance at the Crimson Fiend.

"He's a bit ugly. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to ride him out?" Ye Bufan, being quite astute, knew Hua Yunfei wasn't actually serious about subduing the fiend as a mount. He was just mocking the Crimson Fiend for being too arrogant.

"Heh, indeed, he is a bit ugly."

"If we rode him back, those mischievous senior uncles would probably laugh us to death, especially Senior Uncle Tianji. He's the most unrestrained."

Hua Yunfei looked at Ye Bufan with satisfaction. A promising disciple, he thought with a smile. "Since you find him ugly, let's just kill him!"

"As Master says."

Ye Bufan nodded with a smile, confident in Hua Yunfei's strength.

"Kid, I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me?"

Ignored, the Crimson Fiend roared with his eight bull heads. A dark cloud instantly appeared in the sky, and thunder rumbled with his outburst of anger!

He was a cultivator in the Celestial Realm; his every word and action could mobilize the power of heaven and earth.

This young man before him dared to ignore him, which made him extremely displeased.

Hua Yunfei said, "You compare the people of Luoyang City to ants, and in my eyes, you are also an ant, one I can kill with a raise of my hand!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand.

The Crimson Fiend, enraged, burst into laughter. With a ha-ha, a bolt of lightning descended from the depths of the dark clouds, striking towards Ye Bufan!

He didn't attack Hua Yunfei directly. Instead, he wanted Hua Yunfei to experience the pain of losing someone important!

Once Hua Yunfei lost his composure, he would properly humiliate him!

That would be truly satisfying!

"Very good!"

Seeing this classic villainous behavior, Hua Yunfei's lips curved into a smile. "In that case, let me show you what the abyss of fear is like."

"It just so happens I can test the power of the Chaos Bell on you."

Hua Yunfei was using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. He flipped his hand and took out the Chaos Bell.

"Hiss... Holy crap... Am I seeing things?"

Upon seeing the Chaos Bell in Hua Yunfei's hand, the Crimson Fiend's expression drastically changed.

His massive body trembled uncontrollably, as if electrocuted!

His eight bull heads' eyes widened, his mouth agape, his jaw practically unhinging.

An Emperor Weapon!

That was an Emperor Weapon, wasn't it?!

Holy cow, how could an Emperor Weapon be pulled out from a Violet Palace cave-heaven?

Has the world changed that much after being out of touch for so long? Can Emperor Weapons be so casually controlled and stored within one's body?

"Your Excellency... let's talk this through properly..."

"No, spare my life, great hero! I am willing to be your ox or horse, and also..."

Boom!

Vast imperial might, boundless and infinite. The primordial chaos energy was as dense as clouds.

Golden divine light descended from the ends of the sky, and visions of divine beasts roared. Faintly, a majestic figure even appeared.

Instantly, the Crimson Fiend was struck by a beam of imperial light.

"Ah!!"

Accompanied by a scream, the Crimson Fiend's colossal body turned to dust in an instant under the imperial light!

"Great Emperor!"

"The Great Emperor has manifested!"

In the city, everyone instantly fell to their knees, weeping tears of joy, their faces filled with emotion as they thanked the Great Emperor for saving their lives.

Mortals, cultivators, everyone offered their sincere gratitude!

The Great Emperor was revered by all!

Hua Yunfei put away the Chaos Bell, glanced at the crowd below bowing and worshipping him, and then left with Ye Bufan.

Even though he had already left, the people of Luoyang City did not rise.

Everyone knelt there piously, thanking the Great Emperor for manifesting and saving them from their ordeal.

Backer Sect.

It took two days to lead Ye Bufan back to the Backer Sect.

From afar, seven super immortal peaks piercing the clouds could be seen.

Immortal energy drifted ethereally, and the sea of clouds stretched across the sky. Powerful disciples flew on swords, and female disciples traveled in groups.

The scenery was breathtaking.

"This place is no worse than the Dao Yi Immortal Sect. It truly lives up to its name as the Backer Sect. I've always wanted to visit, but it's too far!"

Ye Bufan exclaimed.

Hua Yunfei's cultivation was at the Celestial Realm, but even without using a teleportation array, the journey took three days!

For anyone else, it might have taken a month to arrive.

Hua Yunfei did this intentionally, wanting to let Ye Bufan experience what it felt like to be a strong cultivator.

He wanted to stimulate the pride of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body within him.

In the future, he wanted Ye Bufan to aim to surpass him.

"You are my eldest disciple. From now on, you can freely enter and exit Daoyuan Peak. You are also the third person to possess this privilege."

The first was his father, Hua Cangqiong.

The second was his mother, who had a fiery temper.

"Thank you, Master. Bufan will certainly not disappoint you!"

"Heh heh, I'm very happy that you have this confidence. Come, let's go home!"

As he spoke, the two landed before the imposing mountain gate of the Backer Sect.

Entering the Backer Sect required passing through the main gate; this was an ironclad rule of the sect.

Even Hua Yunfei, as the head of a peak, would abide by it!

The elder on duty at the gate saw Hua Yunfei and immediately stood up to greet him, "Greetings, Daoyuan Zhenren. Zhenren, who is this?"

"My disciple!"

"Oh?"

"Congratulations, congratulations! The various peak masters and the Sect Master will surely be overjoyed!"

The elder on duty looked at Ye Bufan and took out a Violet Palace Realm magical artifact sword. "I don't have anything else good, please don't mind it."

This was a meeting gift!

Before Ye Bufan could speak, Hua Yunfei smiled and said, "Quickly thank Elder Shi."

"Thank you, Elder Shi."

Ye Bufan cupped the sword with both hands and expressed his sincere gratitude.

A Violet Palace Realm magical artifact was a magical artifact used by Violet Palace Realm cultivators. It was priceless. Giving it to a mortal like him was already extremely generous!

Back at the Dao Yi Immortal Sect, let alone a meeting gift, the sect-guarding elders hadn't even looked him in the eye.

Ye Bufan was touched inwardly and secretly committed Elder Shi's appearance to memory.

Elder Shi chuckled, "You're welcome. Daoyuan Zhenren, you may go. The Sect Master and the others should be coming to congratulate you soon."

He nodded slightly, preparing to return to his peak.

Suddenly, Hua Yunfei turned his head and looked at the sky behind them.
