“A million eight hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Stones?” Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Old Wu’s Remnant Soul trembled violently.
Such a vast sum of Spirit Stones would be difficult to gather, not only for him personally, but likely even for the Ancient Clan he represented.
Yet judging by Ye Feng’s demeanor, Old Wu knew that without offering some tangible benefits, Ye Feng would never compromise.
With this realization, Old Wu waved his hand, sending an ancient ring, pitch-black in color, flying toward Ye Feng.
“This is the Black Abyss Ring.
It contains a storage space of over a hundred square meters.” Ye Feng casually caught the ring, but a flicker of disappointment crossed his face.
Storage treasures were indeed highly prized in the Endless World, typically crafted only by Martial Emperor Realm experts who had mastered spatial power.
But Ye Feng possessed the infinitely vast System Space.
To him, the Black Abyss Ring was merely a useless trinket.
“Well, better than nothing,” Ye Feng muttered to himself, trying to console himself.
“I can sell it later and maybe get a few Spirit Stones.” Seeing Ye Feng’s expression, Old Wu seethed with anger.
A storage treasure with a hundred square meters of space was a rare treasure even on the Overseas Immortal Islands, let alone in a backwater like the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty.
“Hmph, if you don’t like it, give it back!” Old Wu retorted, his patience wearing thin.
“Alright, alright, I believe you already, alright?” Ye Feng waved his hand dismissively and casually stored the Black Abyss Ring into his System Space.
“Sigh, Xiu’er’s been so competitive since she was a child, always trying to one-up everyone.
Why bother?” Hearing Ye Feng’s teasing words, Old Wu’s anger surged, but he forcibly suppressed it, speaking impatiently, “Since you agree to become my disciple, things will be much easier.” “As your master, I’m currently severely injured, reduced to only a Remnant Soul.
I need to recuperate within your body.” “When I merge with your body shortly, you must not resist under any circumstances.” If Ye Feng resisted, given Old Wu’s current soul strength, the outcome of their struggle would be far from certain.
However, Ye Feng shook his head disdainfully.
“Old geezer, are you losing your mind?” “When did I ever agree to become your disciple?” “Where does your confidence come from?” “I simply believed you were a Martial Emperor Realm expert!” Hearing Ye Feng’s mocking words, Old Wu froze in stunned silence.
But in the next instant, he realized he’d been played by Ye Feng.
No longer able to contain his fury, Old Wu pointed at Ye Feng and roared.
“You dare mock me?” Ye Feng’s expression instantly turned cold.
He shot a disdainful glance at Old Wu and sneered.
“That’s right, I was mocking you!
What are you going to do about it?” “You mangy cur!
You think I didn’t know you’ve been a parasite in my body all these years?” “Not only did I trick you, but I’m going to kill you too!” Old Wu had regained his composure by now, pointing at Ye Feng with a mocking grin.
“Hmph, naive fool!” “Attacks from Martial Artists below the Martial King Realm can’t even touch a soul form.” “I’ll stand right here today and see how you plan to kill me!” Deep down, Old Wu still clung to a sliver of hope.
If Ye Feng realized he was no match, perhaps he would change his mind and beg to become his disciple.
Old Wu truly didn’t want to give up on Ye Feng.
Whether it was his fortune, innate talent, or unwavering dedication to the Martial Path, Ye Feng was exceptional in every regard.
If he let this opportunity slip away, where else could he find such a perfect patsy, a mere tool?
“Very well!” A faint smile played across Ye Feng’s lips as he casually retrieved a Soul Destruction Talisman and tore it apart.
As the black talisman crumbled into fragments in Ye Feng’s hand, a surge of intense unease flashed through Old Wu’s mind.
But before he could react, a deafening thunderclap suddenly exploded across the sky.
In the next instant, a deep blue bolt of lightning suddenly appeared, striking Old Wu’s Remnant Soul directly.
“Ah!” After a bloodcurdling scream, Old Wu’s Remnant Soul instantly evaporated, vanishing completely from the world.
Even in death, Old Wu couldn’t believe that a Martial Emperor Realm powerhouse like himself had fallen to a mere Martial Spirit Realm cultivator.
Having dealt with Old Wu, Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief.
With the greatest threat to his “lie flat” path eliminated, all he needed to do now was keep slacking off and not give those villains any opportunities to exploit him.
Wouldn’t everything finally start to get better?
Just then, a System notification suddenly sounded in Ye Feng’s ear.
[ Ding!
Congratulations, Host!
You have slain Old Wu, successfully slacking off, and have earned 100,000 Salted Fish Points.
] [ The reward for slaying Old Wu is twice the Salted Fish Points earned from deterring the villain Zhou Changshu.
] Overjoyed by his newfound wealth, Ye Feng immediately began browsing the Salted Fish Mall.
Unbeknownst to Ye Feng, in the heart of the Endless Continent, on a picturesque floating island, a bald, middle-aged man with a fierce face was staring grimly at a shattered life token before him.
From his throat erupted a series of thunderous roars of fury.
“Hmph, Tianxiu, your life is mine!” “Anyone who dares kill you is stealing what belongs to me and making themselves my enemy!” “Rest assured, I will send him to meet you!” Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, the entire sky shattered, revealing bottomless spatial rifts.
Countless spatial storms stirred within the fissures, poised to erupt.
“Get out!” With a thunderous roar, the middle-aged man instantly smoothed the void as if with a colossal hand, restoring it to its original state.
Meanwhile, deep within the caves of Thousand Caves Mountain in Wulian Prefecture, over a hundred assassins from the Great Han Imperial Dynasty had gathered.
“Are these all the hidden agents left in the Nine Prefectures of Great Qin?” Shitou’s face was etched with terror and unease.
The other hidden agents remained silent, their faces betraying bitter resentment.
Several leading assassins exchanged glances, their eyes communicating unspoken intentions.
Then, they simultaneously turned to the elder who led the hidden agents in Wulian Prefecture and spoke.
“Lord Shasheng, the leaders of the hidden agents in the other Eight Prefectures have all been ambushed and killed by the combined forces of the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty and powerful sect experts.” “Her Majesty the Empress Regnant’s plan to assassinate sect disciples, frame the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty, and sow discord between the two has completely failed.” “Where do we go from here?
We await Lord Shasheng’s instructions!” Shasheng nodded, a flicker of sorrow flashing in his eyes.
Had the martial artists of Wulian Prefecture not been the weakest among the Nine Prefectures of Great Qin, he would likely have met the same bitter end as the other eight shadow leader commanders.
Yet Shasheng harbored no resentment toward Empress Regnant Yaoguang.
In the eyes of the shadow agents, the Empress Regnant was akin to a divine being, incapable of error.
Even the sacrifice of so many agents must serve a greater, more crucial purpose.
“All units, hold position!” “I will personally confront this man favored by Her Majesty the Empress Regnant!” “If he proves obstinate and refuses to yield, upon receiving my signal, all units will immediately advance on the Ye Clan!” “Spare none!
Leave no survivors!” “Yes!” The shadow agents responded in unison, their voices ringing with conviction.
Shasheng nodded in satisfaction before descending the mountain, heading toward the Ye Clan.
Meanwhile, the Moon Shadow Sect had also received the news.
“Changfeng, lead your junior brothers and sisters to the Ye Clan to support Junior Brother Ye Feng,” Yue Hua, the Moon Shadow Sect Master, instructed Li Changfeng, her refined demeanor and noble air filling the Sect’s council hall.
At that moment, the Sect Master and the Ten Great Elders of the Moon Shadow Sect had gathered in the council hall.
Yet every face was etched with solemnity, their brows furrowed in concern.
