Chapter 132 – Two birds with one stone.
Ye Zifeng thought that this was a chance to enter the martial spirit’s world but when he closed his eyes, nothing happened.
He was surprised and opened up his eyes again. The scene in front of him did not change at all.
“You brat. Do you think my place is your backward? Do you think that you can come whenever you want?” The voice sounded in Ye Zifeng’s mind again.
Ye Zifeng smiled and softly replied.
“So you’re that shadow ghost?”
“Of course. Other than me, who else can communicate with you like this.” The shadow ghost’s voice was filled with disdain.
“This….” Ye Zifeng thought about it. There was Elder Shen and Elder Zhao…. But, in this situation, he didn’t want to argue with the shadow ghost.
“Then, you’re the one who saved me? It seems like you sucked dried his life force.”
Ye Zifeng fainted so he didn’t know what actually happened. But when he woke up, he saw the scene in front of him and was able to deduce the events that transpired.
“Hehe…. Only after sucking his life force dry can I help you recover… But it would’ve been better if I sucked the essence of a dead person. A dead person won’t be able to resist at all. But this guy was not moving so it was a lot easier.”
Ye Zifeng raised his brow, “Sucking someone’s qi to heal others…. What kind of martial spirit are you?”
The shadow ghost didn’t answer Ye Zifeng. He continued on talking, “Let me tell you this, you were only a half a step away from dying. Don’t try to blame me for anything. I want to live too. So listen up and be careful next time. Don’t get me killed too!”
If Ye Zifeng really died, then the shadow ghost will die as well. This was the reason why the shadow ghost comes out when Ye Zifeng is experiencing a life or death situation.
Ye Zifeng smiled, “Don’t worry. I’m not a pedantic person. I won’t let anyone that tries to kill me go off that well.”
“Good.” The shadow ghost answered, “This time, I’ve talked to you for too long. I’ve wasted a lot of my precious energy. I won’t be coming out for a while. I’ll come out when you give me some pills to nourish me.”
The shadow ghost knows that Ye Zifeng can refine pill. Thus, he will do whatever he can to get some pills from Ye Zifeng.
Ye Zifeng laughed, “So, you’re just going to leave these two to me now?”
The shadow ghost laughed coldly, “One of them has their martial spirit waste and the other one had their life force sucked out. Even if you let them go and walk out, they won’t dare to chase after you.”
Ye Zifeng smiled and wanted to reply.
However, the voice in his head disappeared. It seems like the shadow ghost had returned to its own world.
It will only return when Ye Zifeng brings some pill for it.
……
“Big brother rough guy. Big brother rough guy. Are you alright?” While controlling the formation, she turned around and looked at Ye Zifeng with a worrisome look.
Ye Zifeng smiled back at her, “I’m fine.”
Liu Bingqian let out a sigh of relief, “Your eyes looked hazy. I thought you were going to faint again. If you do, then I won’t know what to do anymore.”
Jin Peng and Chu Hongbao were scared of Ye Zifeng fainting again. If he does faint again and that monsters appears again, they’ll be toast!
Ye Zifeng had already recovered and stood up. He then walked towards Jin Peng and Chu Hongbao.
Jin Peng had been taught a lesson by the martial spirit already. When he saw Ye Zifeng approaching him, he became frightened.
He doesn’t care about dying as long as he drags Chu Hongbao down with him. Now that Ye Zifeng played the ‘stronger when unconscious’ card, this was the first time that Jin Peng felt that he was utterly defeated.
“Bingqian, you’ve been straining yourself for a while. You should be a bit tired. Bring it down a notch to 12x gravity. I want to talk with them for a bit.”
“Okay. Got it!” Bingqian giggled. Ye Zifeng was right. She was feeling a bit tired. Not just physically but mentally as well.
When she heard Ye Zifeng’s instructions, she felt that he was caring for me. It made her feel happy.
When the gravity was lessened, Jin Peng and Chu Hongbao could finally start breathing normally again. They started to cough after the pressure was released.
Ye Zifeng smiled and looked at the two of them.
“Are you done coughing? Do you two have anything to say?”
“Young master Ye, I was wrong. I don’t dare anymore.”
Jin Peng started to beg for forgiveness. He pointed at Chu Hongbao, “He was the one who injured you. Young master Ye, I’m a straightforward person. I know I was wrong but I didn’t have a lot of malicious thoughts in the beginning. Can you give my master Adept Baili face and let me go?”
“Let you go?” Ye Zifeng laughed, “Then why didn’t you give Bingqian’s master Muyun Old Devil face and let us go?”
Jin Peng said that he didn’t have malicious intentions… If he didn’t have any malicious intentions, then why would he be hiding outside of the city. Why would he make the carriage driver bring them far away? It was obviously all premeditated.
Jin Peng was at a loss for words. He didn’t really want to do this. It was only after Chu Hongbao had incited him that he started to think of such malicious thoughts and do such stupid things.
Chu Hongbao is a smart person so he started to explain as well, “Young master Ye, that Jin Peng is very sly. When it attacked you, it was all his command! Now that I think about it, I regret everything that I have done.”
While saying that, he had a guilty look on his face. He really knows how to act.
“So that’s how it is. It seems like I won’t be sympathizing with you guys….”
Ye Zifeng continuously smiled and walked back towards Bingqian. He then put his pal on the formation.
“You……What are you doing? Ye Zifeng?” Jin Peng panicked and called out his name.
They had both suffered enough from this formation, and now it seems like Ye Zifeng wants to personally control it again. They hearts began to beat faster…..They were afraid.
“Don’t be afraid…..” Ye Zifeng looked over, “Since you guys are speaking the truth, then I’ll tell you what i’m thinking too.”
“What are you thinking?” Chu Hongbao forced a ugly smile on his face.
Ye Zifeng laughed, “I’ve been trying to find a solution to a problem. I’ve been wondering how I should handle people that continuously try to provoke me. What should I do?”
Jin Peng forced a smile and nodded, “Right. What should you do? I would like to hear about it. Let me, Jin Peng, learn something from you.”
“In the beginning, I thought about using a blood oath to solve the problem. But, actually, it didn’t work that well. It can be cheated through. Later on, I thought of using a blood contract. This gave a pretty good result….”
Ye Zifeng stopped for a bit before continuing, “However, it can only be done when both sides have calmed down. There is also a limit to the conditions. If I give you guys a blood contract to sign, I might be attacked by your martial spirit again..” When he said these words, he looked deeply looked at the two of them. It seems like he was not over what had happened before.
Chu Hongbao wanted to cry but there were no tears. In his mind, he thought, ‘My martial spirit was swallowed by you already. Even if I want to, I can’t.’ Ye Zifeng had taken his ring away already too. He had nothing else.
Jin Peng smiled as he listened, “Young master Ye, continue, I want to listen.”
Ye Zifeng suddenly showed a bright smile, “So I thought of a method that can kill two birds with one stone. It can limit and restrain you guys while I can get some benefits too…….
“Get benefits and restrain us?”
Jin Peng’s mouth started to twitch. In his mind, he wanted to skin Ye Zifeng alive. However, he showed a smile on his face.
“That’s great! What kind of method is this? I, Jin Peng, will be the first to agree to it!”
Chu Hongbao suddenly had a bad feeling about this.
Ye Zifieng looked deeply at them and smiled, “Actually, it’s simple……”
