She failed to notice that now, without realizing it, she had come to stand with Chen Jie and was starting to consider his feelings.
Seeing this, Yu Feng became even more certain that Chen Jie wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
Even though Chen Jie had grabbed him by the collar and lifted him into the air, he still clasped his fists together, a cold smile on his face.
"I, Yu Feng, a master descending the mountain, venturing into the mortal world, am here to temper myself. Now that you know my identity, you still disrespect me. It is most unfortunate to tell you that you have been marked by me."
"But you should feel fortunate, for I will not use the power of my sect against you. I will use you as a stepping stone. When I grow strong one day, it will be your doom!"
"Now, if you kneel and gift me all the women beside you, perhaps I will spare your life on some future day."
Damn it, how did he lift me up?
Is my height that short?
It was only then that Yu Feng realized his height was insufficient. Chen Jie didn't even need to lift him to hold him up.
However, he believed that even though he was being held by the collar, maintaining a posture with his arms clasped and his body not tilting was very dashing, and these women would surely be captivated by his spirit.
"Is that so? Since you wish to destroy me after growing strong, I might as well destroy you now!"
Chen Jie's expression turned cold, and he was about to act.
"You dare!" Yu Feng roared in panic.
"Stop!"
Just as Chen Jie was about to strike, Yu Zhongfu suddenly shouted, saying anxiously, "Chen Jie, I can tell you our purpose, but you must not harm my son!"
"Dad, what are you talking to him for? He wouldn't dare do anything to us!" Yu Feng said with a cold laugh, clasping his fists.
Yu Zhongfu gave a wry smile and said, "Son, this is where I need to teach you another lesson."
"These people are low-level individuals. Their attachments are insignificant to us; they are what is called desperate souls."
"We are porcelain, and they are earthenware jars! Sometimes, it is an unwise choice for porcelain to clash with earthenware jars!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Feng's expression softened as if he understood.
He then said with guilt, "Dad, you are right. Porcelain should not clash with earthenware jars. I understand!"
"Chen Jie, do you know Zhou Yu?" Yu Zhongfu asked, looking at Chen Jie.
"Zhou Yu?"
Chen Jie's expression shifted, as if he suddenly recalled something.
The Golden Core realm expert on Wutai Mountain, whose remains had turned to bone.
"Who is Zhou Yu?" Gu Yue asked curiously.
"Zhou Yu is the Old Ancestor of our Qingcheng Sect!"
Yu Zhongfu's tone carried a hint of pride. "Our Qingcheng Sect's Old Ancestor disappeared decades ago. For years, our Qingcheng Sect has been searching for traces of him everywhere!"
"Recently, we found our Old Ancestor on Wutai Mountain! But we learned a shocking piece of news!"
"Our Old Ancestor was ambushed! All his treasures were looted!"
"We came here with the purpose of reclaiming our Old Ancestor's treasures!"
Gu Yue's eyes widened.
She naturally understood that the person Yu Zhongfu was referring to was Chen Jie.
For a moment, her heart was filled with immense shock and apprehension.
Audacious was the only word to describe Chen Jie.
He even dared to ambush someone's Old Ancestor. This...
"That's right, the person I'm referring to is Chen Jie. He took advantage of our Old Ancestor's weakness and plundered all the treasures our Old Ancestor had hidden in the cave!"
Yu Zhongfu looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jie, we've reached this point, I don't think you need me to tell you what predicament you are in, do you?"
"Now, as long as you hand over all the treasures belonging to our Old Ancestor, our Qingcheng Sect will have no further grievances with you!"
With the Old Ancestor as leverage, he was not afraid that Chen Jie would not cooperate.
Gu Yue said, "Chen Jie, listen to me. Hand over the items. The strength of the Qingcheng Sect should not be underestimated!"
Chen Jie sneered inwardly.
Setting aside the fact that Zhou Yu's spirit stones had already been completely consumed by him and could not be returned,
even if he could return them, given what he had done to Zhou Yu, a Golden Core realm expert would absolutely not let him off.
Whether he could return them or not, the moment Zhou Yu recovered his strength, he would find him immediately.
He ignored Gu Yue and said to Yu Zhongfu, "Is that so? What if I refuse?"
"Chen Jie, don't be rash. Some things require compromise!" Gu Yue said with some displeasure.
"Shut up!"
Chen Jie said with some annoyance, "What business is it of yours how I, Chen Jie, act?"
This...
Gu Yue was both angry and anxious.
If any other man had treated her this way, she would have been furious.
As a young lady, when had she ever been treated with such an attitude?
But facing Chen Jie, who had saved her life, made her feel wronged and also a little resentful.
At the same time, she was surprised. Was Chen Jie yelling at her?
Did he not consider her one of his own?
Why did she find him a little detestable?
"You dare not hand them over? Do you know the consequences of not handing them over?" Yu Feng said disdainfully.
"Oh, if I don't hand them over, what will be the consequences?"
Chen Jie asked.
Yu Feng sneered, "If you don't hand them over, you will face the endless pursuit of our Qingcheng Sect, and you will be the first to be killed by our Old Ancestor once he recovers his strength."
"Is that so? In that case, I'd rather strike first!"
"What?"
Before Yu Feng could react, Chen Jie grabbed his neck and snapped it directly.
Yu Feng perished!
Following this, his dream of a master descending the mountain was shattered.
"No!"
Yu Zhongfu stared blankly for a moment, then let out a piercing scream.
"You killed my son, you will die a horrible death! I will have you pay with your life, I will self-destruct!"
Cultivators had another special ability: they could self-destruct before dying, unleashing power several times greater than in life.
This offered a high chance of taking the enemy with them.
"Scram!"
Chen Jie flicked his palm, sending him flying out of the villa.
With a boom.
A powerful explosion sounded.
Yu Zhongfu turned into a pool of blood.
The power of the self-destruction did not affect Chen Jie at all.
"Self-destruct, self-destruct, why announce it?" Chen Jie muttered.
Fortunately, Yu Zhongfu had announced it beforehand, otherwise he would not have had time to react.
Even as he was now, facing Yu Zhongfu's self-destruction, he would have sustained minor injuries.
It was fortunate that Yu Zhongfu had told him in advance.
"Dead?"
Gu Yue stared blankly at the two of them.
She looked at Chen Jie again, her eyes filled with unfamiliarity.
She suddenly realized that she, the young lady from an ancient family, actually lacked the courage of Chen Jie.
Whoosh!
A graceful figure appeared.
Lin Mengjiao arrived before Chen Jie, carrying the head of a black-robed man. "Master, I have fulfilled my mission. I have brought back this person's head!"
"This is the ancient cultivation method of the Gu family!"
Lin Mengjiao threw the black-robed man's head to the ground and then presented the ancient cultivation method with both hands.
