The two opened the door to the secret room. Xie Feng went out first, and the old man who had been keeping watch outside immediately came to greet him.
"How's it going? Did you find her? Did you knock Nalan Yan unconscious? Did you do anything to her? Young people are Blood Qi, if you don't do something..."
He fell silent as he was talking.
Because Nalan Yan came out with a dark face.
"You old geezer! You're messing with my mind! Ugh! You're making me so angry!!"
Enraged, her yellow hair shot skyward in flames. With a slap, the old man burst through the tower and flew into the sky.
Xie Feng:...
Both the Spirit Martyrdom City and the Divine Secrets Pavilion are located in the central circle of the Fifth Universe. Nalan Yan has a small starship that can accommodate three or four people. She and Xie Feng boarded the starship and spent half a day arriving at the Spirit Martyrdom City.
This is a massive city built from countless black bones, with millions of inhabitants, and it is incredibly prosperous.
Nalan Yan strode in, but then stopped her at the Huang Quandao within the city. "Miss Nalan of the Divine Secrets Pavilion, oh, what brings you here?"
Nalan Yan smiled mysteriously, his eyes narrowing. "I have a big business deal, I wonder if your city lord would be willing to do it?"
Huang Quandao's eyes darted around. "What big deal? Would you mind sharing a bit about it?"
"That won't do!"
"You mean... you want to find the city lord?"
"We're old acquaintances, stop with the nonsense and just take me to see Ye Zheng!"
Nalan Yan waved his hand.
Huang Quandao knew her temper, and because Divine Secrets Pavilion and Spirit Martyrdom City had done business together before, he didn't want to antagonize them, so he took the initiative to lead the way.
They proceeded to the main hall.
Huang Quandao led her inside. Ye Zheng was dealing with various matters when he saw her arrive. He quickly put down the book in his hand, got up from his seat, and came to them.
"Isn't this Miss Nalan from the Divine Secrets Pavilion? What brings you here?"
Ye Zheng chuckled.
Nalan Yan raised her clear, bright eyes, sized up the city lord, and covered her mouth with a smile, saying, "The city lord looks a little haggard. What's wrong?"
Ye Zheng sighed, "I've been dealing with so many things lately, I haven't had a proper rest for days. Thank you for your concern, Miss Nalan."
Nalan Yan said, "I won't stand on ceremony either. Didn't you issue a bounty order before?"
Ye Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened. "Miss Nalan, what do you mean by this? Could it be...?"
Nalan Yan didn't say much, but took out the bounty token from his spatial ring and waved it in front of Ye Zheng.
"Is this for real?"
" Xie Feng's bounty order?! Yes, it's real!"
"Fifty million lives lost, one hundred million captured alive? Do you mean what you say?"
"Certainly!"
Ye Zheng nodded confidently.
Nalan Yan smiled and said, "I've caught Xie Feng!"
Ye Zheng and Huang Quandao stared in surprise, their faces filled with excitement, and exclaimed in unison, "Really?!"
Nalan Yan crossed his arms. "Why would I lie to you!"
Ye Zheng and Huang Quandao locked eyes.
A violent storm was brewing in their hearts.
Nalan Yan twisted a spatial ring on his finger, and a white light streaked to the ground, condensing into a tall human figure.
Xie Feng, clad in a black robe, lay sprawled on the ground, his hands and feet bound by a rope formed of golden flames. His breath was weak, as if he had fainted; he was frail, pitiful, and helpless.
Ye Zheng glanced over and saw that the Dao of Time had contacted him three years ago before going into seclusion and had even drawn a portrait of Xie Feng for identification. So he could tell at a glance that this was the real Xie Feng!
Judging from his aura, although he is somewhat weak now, one can still sense the power within it, undoubtedly a strong person.
What puzzled him was that Xie Feng's aura was clearly only at the God Grade, so how could he kill the Heavenly Soul Venerable, who was at the God King Grade?
What's the bigger picture behind this?
Very likely!
Seeing him keep looking him over, Nalan Yan chuckled and said, "Well? Have you seen enough? I told you, this is the real deal! Divine Secrets Pavilion is always reliable in its work!"
"Miss Nalan is absolutely right. The Divine Secrets Pavilion is infallible. Although this young man is very powerful, it is only natural that he should fall into the hands of the Divine Secrets Pavilion!"
Ye Zheng smiled and then ordered Huang Quandao to retrieve one hundred million strands of Emperor's Fortune from the treasure vault.
Huang Quandao responded and departed.
A moment later, he brought out a black card and gave it to Nalan Yan.
In front of them, Nalan Yan probed the card with his consciousness and casually checked it. After confirming that everything was correct, he smiled happily.
Ye Zheng said, " Xie Feng has been a major concern for me. I hope that the Spirit Martyrdom City and the Divine Secrets Pavilion can strengthen their cooperation in the future!"
"Sure, sure. Is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving." Nalan Yan said, swaggering out of the main hall with the black card in his hand.
Ye Zheng had Huang Quandao see the guest off.
Now, only he and Xie Feng are in the main hall.
Ye Zheng watched Nalan Yan leave, then turned around, his smiling face instantly turning extremely gloomy!
He stared at Xie Feng, who lay unconscious on the ground, his teeth clenched in hatred, his eyes slightly red. "Good bastard, I finally caught you! I thought you were some kind of mighty person, but you're just Little White! Humph, it's truly hateful that the Heavenly Soul Venerable was killed by you!"
He ground his back teeth as he walked over, wanting to kick him to vent his anger.
Before he even kicked out, Xie Feng, who had been listless, suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, his aura surged rapidly, exuding an astonishing pressure!
He sprang to his feet with a swift movement, staring at Ye Zheng with a half-smile.
Ye Zheng was startled for a moment. "You...!!!"
Xie Feng smiled and said, "I'm sorry you've come to know me this way. My current appearance... may not be very presentable, but compared to the deaths of Heavenly Soul Venerable and the Dao of Calamity, it's nothing."
These words were like rubbing salt into Ye Zheng's wounds!
He was furious. "What are you talking about, you bastard! How could a mere God Realm like you kill Heavenly Soul Venerable! Tell me, who's your accomplice? You must have powerful backers!!"
"I do have powerful backers, but I can't say."
"???"
You'd be terrified if I told you!
"!!!"
Ye Zheng was constantly provoked, and his emotions became increasingly unstable.
No cultured person could possibly have a good attitude when faced with an enemy they deeply hate.
Xie Feng stretched out his hand and deliberately listed them one by one. "According to my understanding, the Spirit Martyrdom City is full of talented people. It's a pity that the gods who are so powerful in the Fifth Universe would provoke me in the Third Universe. Now, let me count the gods who died in the Spirit Martyrdom City!"
"Ah, the Dao of Wisdom, that one with incredibly powerful Power of the Literary Dao, unfortunately, he met me and was beaten into a fool. I wonder if he's still alive? And the Dao of Time, the Heavenly Soul Venerable's biggest lackey, was also so frightened that he went into seclusion. Dao of Illusion and the Dao of Strength, I think you're also interested in their deaths, so I might as well tell you, they were also personally killed by my friend, the City Lord of Returning Moon City!"
