Chapter 98: Jiang Ye: Heard You Have Been Looking For Me?

"This True Qi..."

Zheng Feng saw the red-gold True Qi in Jiang Ye's hand, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

His gaze then fell on Yang Han who wanted to persuade peace, and his tone became more solemn:

"Miss Yang, this Feng Gang dared to attack the disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect wantonly; it is reasonable for us to execute him on the spot."

After speaking, a look of alertness had already appeared on his face.

He knew that the three major families in the prefecture city had a certain alliance to contend with the influence of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Although he admired Yang Han's style, if it involved the dignity of the Profound Heaven Sect, if the other party dared to intervene, he would take action without hesitation.

"True Transmission Zheng, rest assured, the little girl wouldn't dare to offend the dignity of the Profound Heaven Sect..."

Yang Han seemed to see the alertness on Zheng Feng's face and stepped back two steps with a "bitter smile."

"Alas..."

She looked deeply at Jiang Ye who remained unmoved, and then looked at the wailing Feng Gang, sighing softly:

"Brother Feng, I can't do anything either."

Her voice was very light, but it fell clearly into everyone's ears.

"Elder Jiang..."

Chen Lili looked at Jiang Ye who took action without hesitation with red eyes, and tears were even surging in her beautiful eyes.

Ever since that clan elder passed away, she couldn't remember the last time she was protected like this.

Feng Gang's miserable wailing, in her ears at this moment, was incomparably pleasant.

"Ah——!!!"

Feng Gang stared at Jiang Ye's calm old face with wide eyes, full of pain, but more of resentment and hatred.

Especially seeing Chen Lili close at hand.

He almost vomited blood!!!

Why...

It was clearly just a little bit away!!!

Where did this damn old thing pop out from!!!

"Tong Xian! Why don't you come over and help!"

Feng Gang endured the scorching pain that burned through his bone marrow and let out a desperate roar.

At the entrance of the inn, a middle-aged man dressed in white sportswear was completely stunned.

He was about fifty years old, lean, with high cheekbones, and a horse face paired with those squinting eyes, born with a shrewd look.

But at this moment, only dullness remained on that shrewd face.

He was Tong Xian, a martial artist at the Embracing the Pill Realm heavily supported by the Feng family, and a person with a face in the prefecture city.

"This idiot, did he break his brain in the prefecture city? Daring to touch people from the Profound Heaven Sect!"

Tong Xian's cheeks twitched fiercely, and he cursed wildly in his heart.

How could he help with this!

The other party was from the Profound Heaven Sect.

But if he didn't go up, he couldn't justify it in terms of morality.

He was, after all, a guest of the Feng family; if this matter spread, he wouldn't be able to mix in the prefecture city in the future.

His feet seemed to have taken root, and he couldn't take a single step.

Just as he was fighting between heaven and man, Feng Gang's wailing became more miserable, one louder than the other, echoing in the inn hall.

As for those experts with the strength of the Transformation of Force Realm, they didn't dare to go up at all, all showing cowardice at critical moments.

"How could this happen..."

Sun Yu, who was full of sorrow, was stunned, standing in place, trembling all over, unable to move a finger.

She couldn't react at all to what was going on.

Feng Gang, who had always been rampant in the prefecture city, why did he suddenly kick an iron plate.

"Let... let go!!!"

Feng Gang finally couldn't bear the scorching pain that burned through his bone marrow and let out a desperate roar.

The voice no longer sounded like a human, sharp and miserable, echoing in the inn hall, making people's scalps tingle.

Jiang Ye's Great Sun Heavenly Flame True Qi was too domineering.

Feng Gang desperately mobilized the remaining water-element True Qi in his body to protect his arm, but as soon as the two types of True Qi came into contact, his bit of water Qi was like morning dew under the scorching sun, instantly evaporated.

With the growth of one and the decline of the other, the True Qi in his body was already like a candle in the wind, crumbling.

Once the True Qi was exhausted...

He would die.

Feng Gang finally realized this.

The resentment and hatred that were full in his eyes just now were replaced by a deeper fear at this moment.

His roar gradually changed, from crazy cursing to trembling begging: "Please... please let go..."

Jiang Ye's expression remained unchanged, his aged eyes calm as water, as if he hadn't heard his begging at all.

That withered palm still steadily clamped Feng Gang's wrist, and the red-gold True Qi poured in continuously, burning that arm into charcoal inch by inch.

A moment later, the True Qi in Feng Gang's body was nearly exhausted.

His right hand, from wrist to fingertips, had been burned into a charred black, skin and flesh rolled up, revealing the equally charred bones inside, and a faint smell of burnt meat drifted out.

"What a domineering fire-element True Qi."

The martial artists at the Embracing the Pill Realm in the inn were all shocked.

That extremely yang and extremely rigid True Qi, that calm and indifferent manner, gave them a brand-new understanding of this Elder Jiang whom they were meeting for the first time.

Yang Han's autumn-water-like eyes flashed with a hint of meaningful light, falling on Jiang Ye's calm old face.

"This kid's right hand is completely ruined."

While Tong Xian was shocked, he had already seen that Feng Gang's right hand was almost burned into charcoal, muscles and bones destroyed, and there was absolutely no possibility of rescue. What was even more fatal was that the red-gold True Qi was still spreading.

If he let that fire Qi invade his heart pulse, Feng Gang would lose more than just a hand.

"Can't let him lose his life here."

In an instant, Tong Xian made a decision.

He took a deep breath, and a look of ruthlessness flashed on his shrewd face.

He bit the bullet and walked up quickly, condensing sharp golden True Qi in his palm, turning it into an invisible hand blade, and then slashed down toward Feng Gang's right shoulder.

Pfft!

A crisp sound, blood splashed.

Feng Gang's right hand was severed at the root, his whole body went black, his body swayed, almost fainting on the spot.

Tong Xian supported him, his horse face full of tension, and he bit the bullet and spoke to Jiang Ye:

"Young Master Feng offended your sect first, I'm really sorry, we'll leave now..."

After saying this, he didn't even dare to meet Jiang Ye's gaze, and instead supported Feng Gang, who had nearly passed out, as he fled away in a panic.

That shrewd face now only had the relief of surviving a disaster and lingering fear.

He didn't look back and shouted at the Feng family members who were still stunned in place: "Run, run..."

"Ah... and me..."

Sun Yu woke up like a dream, her sorrowful face full of panic and fear. She stumbled and followed, her skirt hem tripped on the threshold and almost fell, but she didn't care about the pain, climbed up and ran, fearing that she would be left behind if she ran slowly.

Jiang Ye watched the backs of this group as they scrambled away in a panic, his expression calm, and he did not pursue them.

He just stood there quietly, and deep in his aged eyes, a trace of hidden killing intent flashed and disappeared.

From the moment the Feng family members entered the inn, to Feng Gang's crazed attack on Chen Lili, and finally to Jiang Ye's intervention, they had fled in such a sorry state...

It was less than half a cup of tea before and after.

This absurd scene made everyone in the inn stunned.

Those diners who were originally watching the fun now shrank their necks, not even daring to breathe loudly, looking at Jiang Ye with awe.

"Elder Jiang's fire-element True Qi really opened the little girl's eyes."

Yang Han walked up slowly, her stunning face full of just-right exclamation.

Her autumn-water-like eyes looked at Jiang Ye, her eyes meaningful.

"Miss Yang is over-praising."

Jiang Ye smiled faintly, his tone indifferent, as if he had no intention of chatting with her more.

The decent smile on Yang Han's face paused slightly.

She looked at Jiang Ye deeply, then smiled gracefully, and didn't pester him anymore, turning and walking away.

That back was still elegant and calm, as if the momentary embarrassment just now had never happened.

After a few people sat down again, Zheng Hui couldn't wait to lean toward Jiang Ye, her dark, round eyes full of worship:

"I knew Elder Jiang must be very powerful! I can smell the fire Qi in your body, it's much hotter than my brother's, at least hotter than two of my brothers!"

Zheng Feng was slightly stunned.

How did he become a unit of measurement.

But he couldn't care about thinking more, and looked at Jiang Ye with full expectation, lowering his voice and asking: "Elder Jiang, you wouldn't be cultivating the 'Great Sun Heavenly Flame Qi-Nourishing Method', right?!"

Facing Zheng Feng's eyes full of expectation and verification, Jiang Ye nodded slightly: "Hmm."

Hearing this, the expression on Zheng Feng's face was much more shocked than Wen Yueyao's before.

He was a person who had personally cultivated this Qi-nourishing method and knew better than anyone how difficult it was—he practiced hard for more than a year and didn't nourish even a wisp of sun fire Qi, and finally had to give up.

And this old man in front of him not only succeeded but also used this to embrace the pill, and just now used this True Qi to crush Feng Gang lightly.

He took a deep breath, his delicate and handsome face full of heartfelt admiration:

"I really admire you, Elder Jiang! If it comes to talent, Lin Lin Shimei Xu Xu Shijie Wen and I can't catch up to you even with a whip!"

Jiang Ye smiled faintly: "True Transmission Zheng is over-praising, I was just lucky."

Chen Lili on the side couldn't laugh.

Her eyes were red, tears swirling in her eyes, and the look in her eyes looking at Jiang Ye was full of gratitude.

That voice carried a crying tone, and her nasal voice was very heavy: "Elder Jiang, thank you..."

Jiang Ye waved his hand slightly, his brows furrowed, and asked with some confusion: "Girl Chen, did that person have any grudge with you?"

Zheng Feng and the Zheng siblings heard this and also pricked up their ears quietly.

Gossip is human nature.

That Feng Gang could actually ignore Chen Lili's identity as a disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect and attack in a rage; there must be some deep hatred between the two.

Facing Jiang Ye who had just saved her, Chen Lili didn't want to hide it anymore.

She was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and opened her mouth with a crying tone.

It turned out that Chen Lili was the daughter of the Chen family head Chen Yanzhou, and by rights, she should have enjoyed endless wealth and glory.

Unfortunately, her mother had a poor background, and her maternal family had once had a fierce conflict with the Chen family, which led to their mother and daughter being unpopular in the mansion.

Later, her mother died of illness early, and Chen Lili's situation in the Chen family became even more difficult; only one clan elder took care of her.

After that clan elder passed away, Chen Lili had no reliance in the Chen family at all.

The three major families had dealings with each other.

Once, Feng Gang of the Feng family came to visit the Chen family; perhaps he knew Chen Lili was unpopular, or perhaps he had coveted her beauty for a long time, he actually had evil intentions toward her when no one was around.

Fortunately, Chen Lili had practiced martial arts since she was a child, fought back desperately, and didn't let Feng Gang succeed; instead, she kicked him, hitting the vital point, making Feng Gang a lonely warrior...

Chen Lili, who was unpopular, knew she had caused a big disaster and didn't dare to stay at home, ran away overnight, and turned to join the Profound Heaven Sect.

"So that's how it is."

Everyone suddenly realized and nodded in unison.

No wonder Feng Gang would be so furious when he saw Chen Lili; that was not ordinary hatred, that was the hatred of cutting off descendants.

I really don't know how he satisfied that beautiful young woman Sun Yu.

"Xu Xu Shijie! Well done! Dealing with that kind of scum, you should do that!"

Zheng Hui clapped the table with indignation, her dark, round eyes full of relief:

"It's a pity he wasn't completely abolished, so he wouldn't go and harm other women! That would be really satisfying!"

Zheng Feng also sighed with admiration: "I didn't expect Xu Xu Shijie Chen to have such a past! Zheng admires you!"

Jiang Ye didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Although Chen Lili's narration was brief, he could hear from her slightly trembling voice that she had not had an easy time all these years.

"Xu Xu Shijie! Just hold tight to Elder Jiang's thigh! Your stupid father might have to kneel and beg you to go back in the future."

Zheng Hui was full of indignation, as if she had completely substituted herself into it.

Zheng Feng also nodded in agreement.

He was now increasingly admiring Jiang Ye.

For some reason, as soon as he heard Zheng Hui say let her hold tight to Elder Jiang's thigh...

Chen Lili's mind subconsciously flashed the joke she made with Lu Ming before setting off—at least give birth to a pair of twins...

Chen Lili shook her head embarrassedly with a flushed face, "I'm just afraid that today's incident will have a bad influence on Elder Jiang, that Feng Gang... is vengeful..."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Ye with apologetic worry in her eyes.

"No matter."

Jiang Ye smiled faintly.

Vengeful?

That also requires an opportunity to take revenge.

Zheng Feng sneered: "Give the Feng family ten guts and they wouldn't dare to provoke an elder of our Profound Heaven Sect."

Afterwards, the food came, and several people happened to be hungry, so they started eating.

The night was deep.

Clang! Clang! Clang...

More than a dozen fast horses galloped on the official road, the sound of hooves hurried and messy, shattering the silence of the night.

"Young Master Feng, hold on a little longer, we will be at the prefecture city soon!"

Tong Xian said in a deep voice, his shrewd face full of tension.

He looked back from time to time, his eyes full of anxiety.

That fire-element True Qi was too domineering; although it only invaded for a moment, it had already penetrated deep into Feng Gang's lungs.

If not treated in time, I am afraid there would be a loss of life on the way.

"Hoo... hoo..."

On the fast horse behind him, Feng Gang's face was as pale as paper, his eyes closed tightly, his face no longer had any arrogant aura, just panting weakly.

Every breath carried irrepressible pain, the cloth strip wrapped around the severed arm was soaked with blood, emitting a strong bloody smell in the night wind.

Sun Yu sat firmly behind him, tightly supporting his body so he wouldn't fall off the horse.

Her eyes were scattered, her face dull, clearly not having recovered from the shock of tonight.

Just at this moment.

Boom!

A sound of strong wind blowing suddenly came from mid-air.

"Hmm?!"

Tong Xian looked up subconsciously, and the next instant, his pupils shrank into needle points.

"This... this is..."

Suddenly, a figure in mid-air swooped down like a bird!

The figure was extremely fast, catching up with their fast horses in the blink of an eye, and then landed lightly on the ground, standing steadily in front of them.

"Someone can fly? How is this possible!"

Tong Xian's heart set off a stormy sea, and his hands tightened the reins.

Whoa!!!

The Feng family members behind also stopped their horses one after another, and for a time, the sound of neighing echoed in the night sky.

"What was that just now..."

"Seems like someone flew over our heads..."

"I didn't see it wrong..."

"Seems to have landed in front of us!"

Everyone looked at the figure blocking the road in front with lingering fear, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Tong Xian... why did you stop..."

Feng Gang opened his eyes weakly, his voice so weak that it was almost inaudible.

"Seems... seems like someone is in front..."

Sun Yu said with a trembling voice.

She didn't see someone flying over their heads just now, only seeing that on the road ahead, a withered figure appeared at some point, standing quietly there, like an old tree rooted in the middle of the road.

The next instant, the figure spoke.

The voice was aged and calm, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, as if chatting about household chores:

"Heard, you have been looking for me." ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
