"Shameless!"
"The people of the Black Demon Cult are truly shameless!"
These three had completely shattered Chu Hongshan's perception of the Black Demon Cult.
They had promised to hand everything over to Xia Hai, but the other two had secretly hoarded so much! Xia Hai was a complete fool—how could he be so oblivious to his companions' treachery?
"Ye Feng, what's this token?"
Chu Hongshan noticed that Ye Feng had only picked up the seemingly ordinary token from the ground, leaving him puzzled.
"A Heavenly Dao Token!"
A Heavenly Dao Token?
What was that?
It sounded incredibly powerful!
Chu Hongshan chuckled bitterly, feeling like a clueless bumpkin.
"You don't want anything else?"
Seeing Ye Feng pocket the Heavenly Dao Token and completely ignore everything else, Chu Hongshan cursed him inwardly as a prodigal son before collecting all the remaining items into his Spatial Ring.
As they resumed their journey, Chu Hongshan gazed at Ye Feng, who was seated on the Flying Spirit Tool. "Ye Feng, besides that terrifying Good and Evil Buddha Divine Power, do you have any other trump cards?"
"Does the Death Sword Intent of the Sword Heart Realm count?"
After considering Chu Hongshan's question, Ye Feng mentally discarded the several Earth Rank High Grade Martial Skills he possessed. Only the Death Sword Intent seemed worth mentioning.
"You're a Sword Cultivator!" Chu Hongshan exclaimed in shock. "To comprehend the Sword Heart Realm at such a young age, and with the extremely rare Death Sword Intent no less—you're a true Sword Dao Prodigy!"
"I'm not a Sword Cultivator," Ye Feng replied. "I'm merely a carrier of Sword Intent."
???
Chu Hongshan's face instantly filled with countless question marks.
Wait a minute!
Could it be fragments of the Death Sword Intent?
Just then, Chu Hongshan suddenly recalled the ten thousand fragments of the Way of Artifact Refining Comprehension he had recently fused.
"Elder Chu, broaden your perspective," Ye Feng said. "Sword Cultivators are everywhere. Even if I were one, so what? In this vast world, are Sword Dao geniuses truly so rare?"
"But have you ever seen a Sword Dog?"
"Huh?"
"A cheap dog?"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Chu Hongshan looked even more bewildered. What kind of dog could be considered "cheap"? It was hard to even define!
"The Doggy I raised has already comprehended the Yellow Springs Sword Intent at the Sword Heart Realm. It's undoubtedly the number one Sword Dog on the Xuan Tian Continent!"
Seeing Chu Hongshan's confused expression, Ye Feng realized he didn't know about the Little Yellow Dog's situation and decided to explain.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
A Sword Dog, not a cheap dog!
A dog comprehending the Yellow Springs Sword Intent at the Sword Heart Realm? The continent's number one Sword Dog?
This is insane!
Chu Hongshan was completely losing it. He didn't even need to think to know that Ye Feng must have fed that dog countless Yellow Springs Sword Intent Fragments. But how had the Little Yellow Dog broken through to the Sword Heart Realm? Is my comprehension ability worse than a dog's?
I'm done!
Chu Hongshan had no idea about the existence of Sword Heart Advancement Fragments, a System product. All he felt now was that his comprehension ability had been utterly crushed by a dog—not just crushed, but ground into the dirt and rubbed in!
I shouldn't have asked!
I should never have asked in the first place. Wouldn't it have been better to just quietly be a human power-up?
At that moment, Chu Hongshan secretly resolved never to ask Ye Feng another question. He felt like he was about to crack.
The backyard of the Chen Hai Merchant Guild headquarters!
Huang Dahai stared at Huang Xiaofei, covered in blood.
He saw the boundless Battle Intent burning in his son's eyes.
He felt the surging power radiating from Huang Xiaofei's body.
Huang Dahai could scarcely believe this was his own good-for-nothing, prodigal son.
He had merely gone out to transport a batch of goods. How could he return as a War God?
Just then, Meng Haifeng approached with a grave expression.
"Guild Master, you shouldn't meet with the Young Master for the next few days."
"Hmm?" Huang Dahai looked puzzled. "Why?"
"We've just confirmed it—the Blood Ginseng Pill recipe is genuine!"
"The Young Master said he'll use this recipe to slap you in the face when he gets back!"
"Moreover, you've completely misunderstood him for over a decade. Don't ever call him a prodigal son again—he doesn't deserve the title!"
"???"
"Elder Meng, what are you saying?" Huang Dahai protested.
"I'll accept him using the recipe to slap me in the face. After all, when he first mentioned it through the Sound Transmission Jade Pendant, I thought he was insane and didn't believe he had the Blood Ginseng Pill recipe."
"But to say he's not a prodigal son? That's intolerable! You know better than anyone how much of a spendthrift he's been since childhood!"
Hearing Huang Dahai's words, Meng Haifeng forced a bitter smile. "Guild Master, please don't ask. If you knew the full extent of it, I fear you'd die of anger. All I can say is, compared to that true Prodigal Son, we're all living worse than dogs. The Young Master's past antics are nothing in comparison."
"Oh!"
Huang Dahai's interest in this Ye Feng, the Prodigal Son, deepened.
"If the Blood Ginseng Pill Recipe is genuine, then I must personally visit the Star Soul Sect. A mere ten percent profit is out of the question. Even if we made no profit at all, I'd still be willing to pay for the Battle God Sacred Body they gifted my son."
"Besides, I'm eager to witness firsthand the depraved depths of this 'prodigality' you speak of."
Huang Dahai now felt a flicker of anticipation. What kind of extravagant behavior could make Elder Meng dismiss his own son's past excesses as trivial?
Sigh!
Seeing Huang Dahai's eager expression, Meng Haifeng sighed helplessly to himself. "Guild Master, I hope you don't lose your mind when you see it. Even though these treasures aren't ours, this Prodigal Son's extravagance could cost us our lives!"
Meanwhile, on the other side...
"Ye Feng, Shi Chenfeng has contacted me."
Sensing the activation of his Sound Transmission Jade Pendant, Chu Hongshan paused.
"Tell him to wash his neck and wait at the Black Demon Cult. In six days, I will wipe his entire cult off the Xuan Tian Continent."
After speaking, Ye Feng fell into deep thought. He was genuinely curious about how ten thousand Gold-Armored Guards would annihilate the Black Demon Cult, considering a single guard could easily accomplish the task.
Inside the Black Demon Cult's main hall...
Smash!
Enraged by Chu Hongshan's arrogant words, Shi Chenfeng crushed the Sound Transmission Jade Pendant in his hand and roared, "Issue my order! Summon all cult members back from every branch! I'll show this Chu Hongshan what the Black Demon Cult is truly capable of!"
Heavenly Secret Pavilion!
A white-haired elder suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flickering with intense alarm.
As a beam of white light shot skyward from the deepest pavilion within the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, figures began racing toward the structure.
"Great Elder!"
Eleven elders turned to the white-haired elder seated at the head of the group and greeted him respectfully.
