878. Chapter 876: Priceless

"Huh?"

Ye Feng's eyebrows rose, and he immediately looked toward the sound.

Just then, Lu Yuan was seen sprinting madly toward a valley, his face full of a ferocious expression.

"What the hell is this guy up to?"

Ye Feng was filled with doubt and hurriedly gave chase.

Not long after, a narrow path appeared before his eyes; following the rugged mountain trail, he hurried along and soon reached the valley.

Here the trees were lush, birds sang and flowers fragrant; a small bridge spanned the mountain stream, and opposite the bridge lay a clear river, its surface drifting with silk-like clouds and mist.

The spiritual energy here was rich, and the scenery was pleasant.

Lu Yuan climbed up along the small bridge, and shortly arrived at the entrance of a cave dwelling.

He pushed open the stone door at the cave dwelling's entrance and walked inside.

This cave dwelling was not naturally formed; it seemed to have undergone elaborate arrangement, with walls and ceiling paved with jade bricks, each jade brick being of great value.

Inside the cave dwelling stood a sandalwood-carved bed, on which two men and one woman sat cross-legged, their breaths deep and prolonged, obviously in closed-door cultivation.

"Senior Brother Lu, are you alright?"

"What happened? Who's so arrogant as to dare injure you?"

"You are a martial disciple of my Tian Xu Kingdom; how can I allow others to act wantonly!"

The three youths opened their eyes wide, surprise flashing in their gazes, then turning angry.

"No need."

However, Lu Yuan raised a hand to cut them off.

"'Master, I'm injured and need to recuperate,' Lu Yuan said in a low voice, 'You guys stand guard for me!'"

Having said that, he went straight to the bedside, lay down, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his energy to adjust his condition.

Seeing this, the three youths had no choice but to spread out, standing in the four directions to guard the cave entrance.

After Ye Feng followed into the cave dwelling, he sneaked all the way to the outer chamber, hearing Lu Yuan's words from inside, and frowned slightly, saying: "Could they be Lu Yuan's accomplices?"

But after thinking it over carefully, he felt it was unlikely.

The Tian Xu Kingdom has only three major sects, and they do not subordinate each other; normally they keep to themselves like water from different wells not interfering, unless a sect deliberately targets another, otherwise there's no question of joining forces against outsiders.

"No wonder Lu Yuan wanted to rob my stuff! It seems he came for these three guys!" Ye Feng suddenly understood.

But soon, Ye Feng's eyes shifted, revealing a sly look.

"Hehe! Lu Yuan, do you think hiding here will keep you safe?"

Ye Feng gave a low chuckle and silently approached the cave dwelling.

"Ye Feng, what are you doing here!"

Suddenly, a shocked roar like no other came from Lu Yuan inside the cave, followed immediately by a loud Bang!, as if he had struck a wall.

The next moment, a black-clad, masked Ye Feng was seen slowly walking into the cave.

"'You dare barge in?' Lu Yuan snarled, his blood-red eyes fixed on Ye Feng: 'You want to kill me?'"

"Hehe, if I really wanted to kill you, you'd already be dead!"

Ye Feng gave a calm smile, suddenly removed his mask, and swept his gaze over the other three youths: "Which sect are you disciples of?"

"We are disciples of the Enforcement Hall of the Tian Xu Sect! Who are you, and why do you dare intrude on the forbidden grounds?"

One of the stocky youths asked warily.

"'Enforcement Hall disciples?' Do you know what crime it is to trespass the Tian Xu Sect's forbidden grounds?"

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows, a hint of teasing flashing in his eyes.

"'You...' the three men's faces changed abruptly."

Ye Feng laughed loudly: "I'll tell you, trespassing the Tian Xu Sect's forbidden grounds is a death sentence; you three will all have to accompany me in death!"

"Arrogant! Don't even think about scaring us..."

The three Tian Xu Sect disciples' faces all flushed with anger, but immediately felt a chill envelop them, making their bodies tremble, not daring to move an inch.

"Don't believe me?"

Ye Feng grinned, reached out, and pulled from his storage ring that long sword wreathed in flames.

"This sword is named Flame Yang Slash, which I bought in Tian Nan City; since you're all disciples of the Tian Xu Sect, you should know what it's used for, right?"

"I know..."

Lu Yuan struggled to swallow a mouthful of saliva, enduring the pain as he nodded: "Flame Yang Slash is a high-grade treasure, its power formidable, enough to slay ordinary experts."

"Since you know it's a high-grade treasure, why dare question my identity?"

A sharp glint flashed in Ye Feng's eyes as he let out a cold snort.

"I am a disciple of the Tian Xu Sect, ordered to capture the rebel traitors; you three dare to obstruct me, which is tantamount to opposing the entire Tian Xu Sect—do you know the consequences?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three Enforcement Hall disciples instantly froze.

Lu Yuan's face turned even paler than paper, a flicker of deep fear flashing in his eyes.

It turned out this guy is a disciple of the Tian Xu Sect, and moreover ordered to capture Lu Yuan, the rebel.

Although we don't know exactly who the rebel is, the Tian Xu Sect's prestige alone is enough to intimidate them.

"Senior Brother Ye, please calm your anger; we have eyes but no pearls, we have offended you, please forgive us!"

"That's right, Senior Brother Ye, you are a core disciple of the Tian Xu Sect; please don't quarrel with us."

The three Enforcement Hall disciples repeatedly begged for mercy.

"Since you've offended me and still want to live, then obediently hand over what you carry; otherwise, you might end up staying here tonight to feed the snakes!" Ye Feng gave a light smile.

"I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over!"

I also hand over...

No matter what Senior Brother Ye wants, we absolutely dare not refuse.

Three Law Enforcement Hall disciples hastily agreed, then each took out a pile of spirit stones and medicinal pills and handed them to Ye Feng.

"Huh? Only this much?" Ye Feng frowned, showing great disappointment.

"Senior Brother Ye, we only have these things on us; if you still want more, we can only ask Senior Brother Lu Yuan."

Lu Yuan's face was uncertain, he said nothing, after a moment he sighed: "Senior Brother Ye, you don't mind, just take it."

After saying that, he closed his eyes again and remained silent.

"Junior Brother Lu, how can you be so magnanimous? This kind of person should be cut into a thousand pieces!"

The three Law Enforcement Hall disciples, hearing this, felt righteous indignation, but because of Ye Feng, they didn't dare say more.

"Hmph! Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan, do you now know to yield? When you seized my spirit grass earlier, why weren't you magnanimous?"

Ye Feng shook his head, sneering: "Forget it, you're not worthy to be my opponent; even if I killed you, it would dirty my hands!"

After speaking, he gathered a few things and prepared to leave.

But just then, a hoarse voice of Lu Yuan sounded from inside the cave.

"Senior Brother Ye, what did you just say your name was?"

Ye Feng paused, turned and glanced at him, disdainfully: "My surname is Ye; I don't change my name when walking, nor my surname when sitting; what do you have to say?"

"So you are Ye Feng?"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's name, Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with hatred.

"Not bad! Since you know my name and still dare to oppose me, you're practically asking for death!" Ye Feng said coldly.

"I know, you're awesome! But do you think that just because you think you have victory in hand, you can easily defeat me?"

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and said.

"Oh? You know me?" Ye Feng raised his eyebrows. (End of chapter)
