Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil

"I promised to give the Heavenly Punishment Vine from the family to Ye Qingfeng," Zhang Beishan said somewhat reluctantly, "If I hadn’t said that, I’m afraid that Ye Qingfeng would have killed me and Qixing on the spot."

"What? This is the treasure of our Zhang family, why should we give it to Ye Qingfeng?" Old Five immediately became furious, expressing his displeasure.

"Didn’t Second Brother say? He did it to protect Qixing. Isn’t Qixing’s life worth more than the Heavenly Punishment Vine? Anyway, the vine isn’t very useful, might as well give it to Ye Qingfeng."

Zhang Qiong Feng was quite calm, speaking indifferently.

The Heavenly Punishment Vine does have some use; cultivating next to it allows their spiritual power to grow faster, though the effect isn’t very obvious.

The Zhang family can feel that this Heavenly Punishment Vine is quite unusual, containing a vast amount of energy with a peculiar attribute.

But no matter what, they can’t utilize it; they’ve tried ingestion and alchemy but cannot absorb the energy of the Heavenly Punishment Vine.

Since that’s the case, Zhang Qiong Feng thought there was no harm in giving it to Ye Qingfeng.

"No way, this Heavenly Punishment Vine must be a treasure. Even if it’s not apparent now, we can’t just give it to Ye Qingfeng," Old Five immediately objected.

"But Ye Qingfeng’s strength is probably not something we can resist," Zhang Beishan said.

"Second Brother, are you really that afraid of Ye Qingfeng? I don’t believe he would dare act against our Zhang family!" Old Five said angrily, "If worst comes to worst, we’ll bring Big Brother back; with the help of the Divine Guard, he won’t be able to do anything to us."

"For a Heavenly Punishment Vine, it’s not necessary to call Big Brother back," Zhang Beishan shook his head and said.

He still didn’t want to oppose Ye Qingfeng. He had seen Ye Qingfeng and knew how terrifying this young man could be, although he still believed his Big Brother could subdue Ye Qingfeng.

But this youth was too dangerous, and he really didn’t want the Zhang family and Ye Qingfeng to become adversaries.

"Hmph, Second Brother, what are you afraid of? As long as Big Brother returns, subduing Ye Qingfeng would be a piece of cake!" Old Five coldly snorted, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Beishan’s excessive caution.

"Oh, really?" At this moment, a cold voice echoed, startling the few elders in the secret room.

"If you want to go call for anyone, you can do so now, and I’ll deal with them together," immediately, a tall figure slowly emerged.

"Ye Qingfeng?" Zhang Beishan exclaimed first.

The other Zhang elders suddenly shuddered; this was Ye Qingfeng, so young, so refined. Is this really the ruthless person who destroyed the Mountain River Sect?

Following Ye Qingfeng was Ye Bufan; seeing this child made the other elders slightly tense—this was the one-armed child who defeated their Zhang family’s genius Zhang Qixing in one move?

Ye Qingfeng’s eyes were calm, scanning the Zhang family members.

The Zhang elders secretly thought they were in trouble. They had just been discussing how to deal with Ye Qingfeng, wondering if this guy heard them.

This youth was terrifyingly capable, being able to enter their Zhang family unnoticed. Now their leader Zhang Qifan had yet to be notified.

If this youth really wanted to target the Zhang family, he wouldn’t give them a chance to send word.

"You mentioned the Heavenly Punishment Vine?" Ye Qingfeng stared at Zhang Beishan and asked.

Indeed, he heard it, and the Zhang elders were startled, not expecting him to listen to their conversation without showing any anger, focused solely on the Heavenly Punishment Vine.

"The Heavenly Punishment Vine is a treasure of our Zhang family. Why should we give it to you?" Zhang family’s Old Five couldn’t help but retort.

Ye Qingfeng’s demeanor was too overbearing, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"Why?" Ye Qingfeng chuckled.

"Old Five, the Heavenly Punishment Vine was promised to Ye Qingfeng. Since I have already promised, let’s give him the vine," Zhang Beishan hurriedly said.

"Hmph, at the time, it was only Ye Qingfeng threatening your life. How can such a coerced promise count? Can the esteemed Zhang family be threatened by a mere boy? Do you think that with Second Brother’s promise, you can make the Zhang family obediently hand over the Heavenly Punishment Vine?" Old Five furiously exclaimed.

"With Zhang Beishan’s promise?" Ye Qingfeng laughed lightly, suddenly waving his hand, and a white light appeared mid-air, "I rely on this!"

As Ye Qingfeng finished speaking, everyone finally saw clearly that it was a floating longsword in the air.

All the Zhang elders were astounded looking at this scene; Ye Qingfeng’s Flying Sword was indeed shocking.

"Hand it over or not?" Ye Qingfeng’s expression was cold. He never relied on any empty promises made by others—only power, only strength, was Ye Qingfeng’s confidence.

As long as the Zhang family dared utter half a "no," Ye Qingfeng would definitely act without hesitation. Destroying a Zhang family posed no pressure for Ye Qingfeng.

If it had been the former Ye Qingfeng, he might have acted directly. Just when he cast the Flying Sword, Ye Qingfeng thought of Shui Yiyi’s face, and his heart stirred slightly, thus giving the Zhang family an opportunity.

"Hand it over!" Zhang Qiong Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Our Zhang family is willing to hand over the Heavenly Punishment Vine. Second Brother promised it to you; we should keep our word."

Zhang Qiong Feng gave the Zhang family a graceful way out.

"Why should we, when our Zhang family is..." Old Five angrily protested.

Ye Qingfeng’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and his Flying Sword hovered in the air, white light flashing, and in an instant, it flew straight towards Zhang Family’s Old Five.

The Zhang elders were shocked, their eyes widening in disbelief.

"Stop!"

At this moment, a commanding voice rang out, strong and powerful.

"Humph." Ye Qingfeng snorted coldly; the Flying Sword turned into an arrow, piercing through space, instantly severing Old Five’s arm, as the blood spurted out, and the Flying Sword returned to Ye Qingfeng.

"You’ve gone too far, actually daring to sever Old Five’s arm!"

At this moment, four people entered the Zhang family’s courtyard, led by an older man who stared at Ye Qingfeng, his eyes showing faint anger.

"Big Brother!" Several Zhang family members called out in unison.

"Big Brother, you’re finally here; quickly kill this boy; he dared to cut off my arm—kill him."

Zhang Family’s Old Five, with his arm severed, screamed in agony.

Ye Qingfeng’s eyes remained calm as he looked at the four people, three men and one woman, among them a man Ye Qingfeng recognized—Huaxia Soldier King, Ge Min!

The Zhang family had yet to report, but the Divine Guard had already arrived, likely informed by Hua Qingteng.
