Chapter 65: Sacred Body!

After returning home, Ye Feng ate something casually and immediately began his cultivation.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, circulating the "Xuantian Sacred Scripture." The Qi strength within his body flowed slowly, like a small stream meandering through his meridians.

As his cultivation deepened, his breathing gradually steadied, and his mind became completely immersed in the circulation of the technique.

However, even though cultivation made him feel calm, the faint sense of unease in his heart refused to dissipate.

He had a strong premonition that danger was approaching, and that the peaceful life he shared with Gu Ran might soon be shattered.

"I must increase my strength as soon as possible..."

Ye Feng thought to himself, then accelerated the circulation of his technique.

Qi strength surged within his body like a river about to burst through a dam, bringing waves of scorching heat.

Over the next few days, Ye Feng's life returned to normal.

He picked up and dropped off Gu Ran for work every day, and used all his spare time for cultivation.

As his cultivation deepened, his strength steadily increased, even approaching the verge of a breakthrough.

On Friday afternoon, Ye Feng drove Gu Ran home as usual.

On the way, Gu Ran suddenly said, "Ye Feng, tomorrow is the weekend, do you have any plans?"

Ye Feng smiled and said casually, "No special plans, why, is something up?"

Gu Ran nodded, her tone carrying a hint of anticipation: "Then... would you like to go exercise together? I feel like my physical condition has been quite poor lately, and I want to work out!"

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Sure, it's rare for you to have this interest."

A smile appeared on Gu Ran's face, and just as she was about to say something, Ye Feng's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID; it was Xie Junhao.

"I'll take this call."

Ye Feng said to Gu Ran, then answered the phone.

He asked, "Hello, Old Xie, what's up?"

Xie Junhao's deep voice came from the other end: "Ye Feng, I have some new leads regarding Sakura Valley."

"Are you free to meet now?"

Ye Feng glanced at Gu Ran and said in a low voice, "I'm currently taking Gu Ran home; I'll contact you in a bit."

After hanging up, Gu Ran asked with some confusion, "Whose call was that? Is something the matter?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "It's Xie Junhao; he has something he needs me for."

"After I take you home, I have to go meet him."

Gu Ran nodded without asking further, but a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

After dropping Gu Ran off at home, Ye Feng immediately dialed Xie Junhao's number: "Old Xie, I'm free now."

"Where are you?"

"The usual spot, Yanhe Restaurant."

Xie Junhao said, "Hurry over, it's a bit urgent."

Ye Feng acknowledged, hung up, and drove straight to Yanhe Restaurant.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Xie Junhao was already waiting for him in a private room.

As soon as he entered, Ye Feng saw that Xie Junhao's expression was quite grave.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Ye Feng asked immediately after sitting down.

Xie Junhao took out a document and handed it to Ye Feng: "This is the new lead I recently found regarding Sakura Valley."

"They have been active in the shadows lately, seemingly planning some major move."

Ye Feng took the document and began to read it carefully.

The document detailed Sakura Valley's recent activity, including their industrial expansion in various places, personnel transfers, and even some secret martial arts gatherings.

"How did you find this information?"

Ye Feng asked with some surprise.

Xie Junhao smiled, his tone carrying a hint of pride: "I naturally have my channels."

"However, that is not the most important thing."

"The most important thing is that I discovered Sakura Valley seems to be searching for something."

"Searching for what?"

Ye Feng asked with a frown.

Xie Junhao lowered his voice, his tone mysterious: "A legendary martial arts treasure—the Cherry Blossom Sword!"

"The Cherry Blossom Sword?"

Ye Feng was stunned: "What is that?"

Xie Junhao explained: "It is said that the Cherry Blossom Sword is the treasure of Sakura Valley, possessing mysterious and powerful strength!"

"Fifty years ago, after this treasure was taken out by their Valley Master, both the person and the sword disappeared."

"Recently, people from Sakura Valley seem to have found new leads and are pursuing them with all their might. It seems to have a certain connection to the Ghost Doctor Sect!"

After listening, Ye Feng felt a faint sense that something was wrong: "What does this have to do with us?"

Xie Junhao looked at him, his tone serious: "According to my intelligence, a peerless genius seems to have appeared in recent years, said to be an Innate Sacred Body!"

"Since you know about the Cold Yin Divine Body, you should understand the value of this Sacred Body!"

"And I don't need to say what their goal is, right?"

Ye Feng's expression changed instantly: "You mean to say they want Gu Ran to engage in dual cultivation with that Sacred Body?"

Xie Junhao nodded: "Although this is just my deduction, it shouldn't be far off!"

Ye Feng clenched his fists, a surge of anger rising in his heart: "These people really have no bottom line!"

Xie Junhao patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be anxious, things haven't reached an irreparable stage yet."

"I have already arranged for some men to protect Gu Ran in secret."

"You must also be extra careful; the people from Sakura Valley might target you."

Ye Feng nodded, his tone firm: "I understand. No matter what their goal is, I will not let them harm Gu Ran!"

Xie Junhao smiled, his tone becoming more relaxed: "They seem to be holding an internal Martial Arts Assembly at the end of this year. It is said that the top three can obtain a qualification to explore the ruins of the Ghost Doctor Sect!"

After saying this, he gave Ye Feng a meaningful look.

Ye Feng nodded: "I understand!"

Seeing this, Xie Junhao laughed: "Alright, since the serious business is done, come, let's eat something!"

Ye Feng nodded perfunctorily, but had no heart to eat at all; his mind was filled with matters regarding Sakura Valley!

He knew that in the days to come, the life he shared with Gu Ran would no longer be peaceful.

"Old Xie..."

Ye Feng suddenly spoke: "Thank you for giving me so much help. If there is anything you need me for in the future, just ask!"

Xie Junhao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be polite. If it weren't for you, perhaps my child would have..."

"However, there actually is something I need to trouble you with!"

"In a few days, it will be our annual Territory Contention Battle with the Green Dragon Gang. If you have time, I hope you can come help!"

Ye Feng took a sip of water and said: "Rest assured, I will definitely go!"

Hearing this, a flash of relief crossed Xie Junhao's eyes: "Good, with your word, I can rest easy."

After the two finished eating, Ye Feng drove home.

On the way, his mood was exceptionally heavy.

He knew that his peaceful life was about to be shattered! ===== CHAPTER 66 =====
