Divine-level Base

Ji Bingyun chuckled. "I ran away from home to have some fun, and then these people from the Han Family caught me. I thought it was pretty amusing, so I pretended to be captured, and then they sold me here."

Shu Feng said, "Alright then. Once I’ve taken care of a few things, I’ll send you home."

Ji Bingyun’s large, clear eyes blinked, and she asked, full of curiosity, "What about all these young men and women? Are you planning to kill them all to keep this a secret?"

’What a clever little girl!’

Shu Feng praised her silently. The Han Family was one of the Middle Third-Grade Noble Families, with vast power and deep foundations. The major Noble Families constantly intermarried, forming a terrifyingly vast network where tugging one string would move the whole thing.

The Bei Yuan Li Family was a First-Grade Noble Family, towering high above the rest, protected by terrifying experts of the Spirit Venerable Realm Level. Their strength was countless times greater than the Han Family’s. If the Li Family moved against the Han Family, the Han Family could only swallow their anger and suffer in silence, and their network of Noble Families wouldn’t dare to act.

But for a small fry like Shu Feng, the Han Family could easily use exchanges of benefits to have other Noble Families use their resources against him. To ensure that everything that happened today remained perfectly seamless, the only option was to silence everyone by killing them—to slaughter all forty-nine young men and women present.

Ji Bingyun had guessed this, which was why she had revealed her identity.

"I won’t kill them. But I will take them to a place the Han Family can’t trace—my own territory."

"As for you, Ji Bingyun, you’ll leave with Camilla. I have other things to do."

With a wave of Shu Feng’s hand, Camilla immediately walked over, scooped Ji Bingyun into her arms, and with a slight flicker of her body, she flew off into the distance.

Ji Bingyun waved to Shu Feng. "Okay, I’ll be good! Bye-bye, big brother!"

"As for the rest of you, from this day forward, you will serve me!"

Shu Feng glanced at the forty-nine young men and women in the steel cage. After leaving them with that one sentence, he collected them one by one into the Warrior Synthesis Nest to be modified and controlled.

「Inside the Yellow Dragon Cave.」

Shu Feng stepped into the cave like a Ghost.

Inside the cave, none of the sentries—neither the overt nor the hidden—or the spirit hounds detected Shu Feng, allowing him to walk brazenly inside.

Under the power of the Legendary-level Invisibility Technique from the Lord of the Dark Night’s Magic Ring, Shu Feng moved without creating wind or having any weight. He made no sound as he walked, and as long as he didn’t attack, not even the terrifying senses of a Spirit Sect Realm expert could detect his presence. It was countless times more potent than an Assassin’s Stealth.

As soon as Shu Feng reached the end of the cave, he saw Elder Liu and Elder Tie, two Spirit Sect Realm experts, sitting cross-legged on two large, soft beds, resting with their eyes closed.

The two Spirit Sect Realm experts, Elder Liu and Elder Tie, appeared to be asleep, but with the terrifying Spiritual Sense of their cultivation level, they would immediately erupt into a murderous frenzy at the slightest disturbance.

With a wave of Shu Feng’s hand, ripples shimmered in the void. The Steel Beast, having already completed its Two-stage Transformation, suddenly burst forth like a bolt of Lightning, swinging its Steel Scythe in a frenzied strike at Elder Liu.

Hassina also wielded the Heavy Rain sword, executing the Overlord Dragon Swordsmanship. With the sound of a dragon’s roar, she slashed viciously at Elder Tie.

Elder Liu’s eyes flew open in an instant, a sharp glint flashing within them. He immediately drew the Tier Three Spirit Sword that was by his side and held it up to block.

CLANG!!

A terrifyingly loud sound rang out. Caught off guard, Elder Liu was sent crashing into the wall by the Steel Beast’s strike, and the Spirit Sword flew from his grasp.

The Steel Beast’s tail suddenly shot out, piercing through Elder Liu’s brow like a bolt of lightning before being yanked back.

"Who are you? I’m from the Xuyang Han Family of the Qianyuan Republic! If you kill me, the Xuyang Han Family will not let you go!!"

Elder Tie also drew his Spirit Sword and barely blocked Hassina’s attack, but he was still sent flying by the force of her strike. He crashed heavily against the wall, spat out a mouthful of blood, and roared in a voice filled with shock and rage.

"Shu Feng of Shuijing High School!"

Ripples shimmered faintly, and Shu Feng appeared in the room, looking down at Elder Tie as he spoke coolly.

Countless Ghost-devouring Demons and Black Dog Illusion Demons poured out like a tide, rushing outside. The sounds of gunshots and panicked screams immediately erupted from the outer cave.

"It’s you!! Shu Feng!!"

A look of horror flashed in Elder Tie’s eyes. He had never expected to see Shu Feng here.

The Steel Beast seized the opportunity to advance. It spread its five fingers, and countless incomparably sharp steel needles shot out, piercing into Elder Tie’s vital points and running through his bones one by one.

"Stop!! I’m willing to serve you!! Stop!!"

Elder Tie screamed, crying out loudly.

"Good!"

Shu Feng smiled calmly.

The Steel Beast swung its scythe, severing all four of Elder Tie’s limbs in one go.

Shu Feng stepped forward and pressed a hand on him, directly absorbing the Spirit Sect Realm expert, Elder Tie, into the Warrior Synthesis Nest.

Countless transparent tentacles surged out and pierced into Elder Tie’s body, beginning to modify his genes and flesh. His limbs, which had been severed by the Steel Beast, were quickly reattached.

The Steel Beast and Hassina flickered and charged outside.

A series of screams soon came from outside the cave. The resistance of the Han Family’s Warriors was swiftly crushed, and they were killed one after another in brutal fashion.

At the cave entrance, Adnan and dozens of Ghost-devouring Demons stood guard, finishing off the fleeing Han Family Warriors one by one.

Before long, all the Han Family Warriors in the cave had been eliminated by Shu Feng.

’Let’s see what good stuff this auction had to offer!’

Shu Feng pushed open the door to the warehouse Elder Tie had been guarding and saw all sorts of treasures stored inside.

’Red Jade Technique, Three Yang Technique... these manuals aren’t worth much.’

Shu Feng gave a cursory glance and found dozens of manuals. To a top student from Shuijing High School’s Celestial Pride Class like him, they weren’t very useful. But for Spiritualists who were Loose Cultivators, every single one was worth fighting desperately for.

’These are materials for Alchemy!’

’These are materials for forging Secret Treasures!’

’Seventy Middle-grade Spirit Stones, nine thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones... not bad!’

...

Shu Feng continued to browse through the Treasure Vault, a flicker of excitement in his eyes. The various resources stored in the warehouse were worth over two hundred billion. His move this time was definitely a massive blow to the Han Family.

The Han Family was a Middle-grade Noble Family and also possessed a territory in the Erosion Realm. If they were to sell their territory in the Erosion Realm, it would be worth over a trillion. However, the Han Family was a large enterprise with great expenses. Losing over two hundred billion at once, on top of the failed deal with Li Sinan, meant their losses would definitely exceed three hundred billion.

Such a sudden and huge loss was a major blow to the Han Family, one that would severely drain their Vitality.
