163: Sorry, we've taken over this city.

Ye Chenfeng's voice was soft, yet it was like a giant boulder crashing into a calm lake, stirring up monstrous waves in the hearts of all his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters.

Flipping the table of an Immortal King.

"Hiss..."

Wang Duojin took a sharp breath, and even the gold abacus in his hand stopped.

In those small eyes of his, a sharp light flashed intensely, and the abacus in his mind was clicking so fast it was about to smoke.

"Senior Brother, this... this risk assessment model is a bit beyond the scope!"

"Flipping an Immortal King's table, this input-output ratio... if we lose, our annual financial report won't look good!"

"Immortal King?"

Those golden eyes of Zhao Wuyou, however, instantly ignited with a raging fire.

Carrying the dragon emperor halberd on his shoulder, he took a step forward, making the earth tremble.

"Good!"

A single word, simple and direct, filled with an infinite desire for battle.

"Many people will die." Gongsun Yan's delicate brows furrowed slightly, a flicker of pity passing through her eyes.

"Only when people die will the living remember the lesson." Ye Wushang's voice was like it came from the Nine Serenities, cold and cruel.

Bai Jinnian held his book, remaining silent, but the noble righteousness in his eyes became increasingly condensed.

The figures of Chen Qianhuan and Hua Ying became even more blurred in the shadows of the corner, as if they could merge with the darkness at any moment.

This was the Myriad Dao Divine Sect.

A bunch of monsters.

Each person had their own completely different Dao.

Yet, under their Revered Master's will, they were twisted into a force capable of overturning heaven and earth.

"Alright."

Ye Chenfeng interrupted everyone's thoughts.

He glanced at Ghost Fiend, who was still kneeling on the ground, completely scared out of his wits.

"The first problem is solved."

"Now, for the second problem."

His gaze turned toward the ruins formed by the collapsed restaurant.

"We need a place to stay."

Wang Duojin's eyes lit up instantly.

"Senior Brother! I'm a professional at this!"

He dashed forward in a single stride, completely ignoring the surrounding Demonic Cultivators who were terrified.

He gave the restaurant owner, who was scared out of his Soul, a kind smile that reeked of money.

"Boss, don't be afraid."

"The battle just now caused a little damage to your shop, and we are deeply sorry."

"To compensate for your loss, I've decided not only to take over this shop but also to buy the entire street next to it!"

He waved his hand with grand ambition.

"Give me a price, and I'll give you ten times that!"

Half an hour later.

At the most prosperous intersection of Dry Bone City, an earth-shaking change had occurred.

The original "Myriad Bone Tower," which reeked of blood, along with a dozen surrounding shops, had been razed to the ground.

In its place rose a three-story pavilion.

The pavilion was built entirely of an unknown golden wood, and it was covered with a shimmering protective barrier composed of countless Formation Plates.

A huge plaque was hung high up.

Eight large characters were written on it in a bold, flowing style.

"Myriad Dao Real Estate, Western Region General Headquarters".

Beside it was a line of small characters.

"Also, Dry Bone City Demolition Office".

Wang Duojin stood at the entrance of the pavilion with his hands on his hips, looking at his masterpiece with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Efficiency!"

"This is the efficiency of our Myriad Dao Divine Sect!"

Behind him, Ghost Fiend and his few lackeys were moving various building Materials like coolies, drenched in sweat.

Ghost Fiend's heart was bleeding.

This fat man had forced the purchase of the street at ten times the price.

Then, using the excuse that "assisting in construction can waive the previous offense" as a reason, he made this group of Western Region Prodigies act as construction workers.

Devils!

These people are all devils!

Just as Wang Duojin was about to go inside to plan the future business blueprint.

*Vroom—*

The entire Dry Bone City suddenly shook.

Four pillars of light, as black as ink, shot up from the four corners of the city!

They intertwined in mid-air into an incredibly massive black canopy!

Enveloping the entire city within!

City lockdown!

Immediately after.

A cold and majestic voice spread to every corner of the city.

"By order of the Black Flame Demonic Sect's Sect Master!"

"Eastern Region spies have infiltrated our Dry Bone City and killed Old Scorpion. This is an atrocious crime!"

"From this moment on, the entire city is locked down. Entry is permitted, but exit is forbidden!"

"All Cultivators in the city must work together to surround and kill the spies!"

"Anyone who captures the head of a spy will be rewarded with one hundred thousand High Grade Immortal Stones and one Profound Rank immortal technique!"

"Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with ten thousand High Grade Immortal Stones!"

"Those who know but do not report, or those who harbor spies, will be treated as accomplices and their entire families will be executed!"

Boom!

The entire Dry Bone City instantly exploded in an uproar!

The eyes of countless Demonic Cultivators revealed a light of greed and madness!

One hundred thousand High Grade Immortal Stones!

That was enough for a True Immortal to Cultivate until the end of time!

In an instant.

On the street, the gazes of all the Demonic Cultivators fell in unison on the magnificent pavilion of "Myriad Dao Real Estate."

Those looks were no longer of fear.

Instead, they were like a pack of hungry wolves that hadn't eaten for three days and nights seeing a plump, tender sheep.

"Not good!"

Ghost Fiend's expression changed drastically.

"This is the Black Flame Demonic Sect's 'Blood Kill Order'! They are going to use the strength of the entire city to surround and kill you!"

"Quickly leave! If you don't leave now, it will be too late!"

Inside the pavilion.

The smile on Wang Duojin's face also vanished.

"Damn it, these bastards reacted fast enough."

He cursed.

"They want to use human wave tactics to crush us to death?"

Zhao Wuyou gripped the dragon emperor halberd in his hand, Battle Intent rising in his golden eyes.

"Good timing."

"They are seeking death." Ye Wushang's voice was cold as always.

"Don't panic."

Ye Chenfeng's voice was calm and steady, like a stabilizing pillar, instantly soothing everyone's somewhat restless hearts.

He walked to the window and looked at the Demonic Cultivators on the street who were restless and had fierce looks in their eyes.

His gaze was as calm as a still well.

"Just a bunch of rabble blinded by profit."

"Revered Master once said the best way to deal with hungry wolves is not to compete with them to see whose teeth are sharper."

"But to bring out a greater temptation that they simply cannot refuse."

He turned his head and looked at Wang Duojin.

"Third Junior Brother."

Wang Duojin understood instantly.

He gave a mischievous grin.

"Senior Brother, I get it!"

He once again rushed to the entrance of the pavilion.

Facing the thousands of ill-intentioned gazes on the street.

He cleared his throat and channeled his immortal essence.

His voice was like rolling thunder, spreading through half of Dry Bone City.

"The Black Flame Demonic Sect is offering one hundred thousand for the lives of us brothers?"

"Stingy!"

"So damn stingy!"

He directly poured out a small mountain of High Grade Immortal Stones from his storage ring!

The brilliant light almost blinded everyone's eyes!

"I, Myriad Dao Merchant Guild's Wang Duojin, am opening a betting pool right here today!"

"What kind of thing is the Black Flame Demonic Sect!"

"I offer three hundred thousand High Grade Immortal Stones!"

"For the head of the Black Flame Demonic Sect's Sect Master, Old Demon Black Flame!"

"Whoever can bring his head to me!"

"This mountain of Immortal Stones is theirs!"

"Furthermore!"

He changed his tone, his voice full of temptation.

"Anyone who leaves the darkness for the light and joins our Myriad Dao Real Estate!"

"Each person will first receive one hundred High Grade Immortal Stones as a relocation fee!"

"From today on, you are my, Wang Duojin's, brothers!"

"You can walk tall in this Dry Bone City!"

Silence.

All the Demonic Cultivators were stunned.

They looked at the glittering mountain of Immortal Stones and swallowed their saliva with difficulty.

Three hundred thousand... for the head of Old Demon Black Flame?

Is this fat man crazy, or does he really have that kind of unimaginable confidence?

The reaction of the Black Flame Demonic Sect was faster than anyone imagined.

Just as Wang Duojin's words had barely fallen.

*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*

Dozens of figures wearing tight black clothes and ghost masks emerged from the city's shadows like phantoms!

In their hands, they each held a dark green dagger coated with lethal poison.

"Black Flame Demonic Sect, Ghost Shadow Guard!"

"They actually deployed the Ghost Shadow Guard!"

Terrified screams rang out from the crowd!

The Ghost Shadow Guard was the most elite assassination force of the Black Flame Demonic Sect!

Every member was a Heavenly Immortal expert who had crawled out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

The "Ghost Shadow Maze Formation" they jointly laid down could even trap and kill a True Immortal!

"Kill!"

The leading Ghost Shadow Guard Captain let out a raspy low shout.

Dozens of figures instantly turned into a sky full of black mist, enveloping the entire pavilion!

The black mist cut off Divine Thought, distorted light, and was filled with eerie illusions.

From the outside, the magnificent pavilion seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"Not good! It's the Ghost Shadow Maze Formation!" Ghost Fiend's face turned pale.

"It's over, they're trapped!"

Inside the Formation.

Wang Duojin and the others only felt the scene before them change.

They were no longer in the pavilion but had arrived at a blood-colored battlefield strewn with corpses.

Countless vengeful Souls shrieked piercingly in their ears.

"Trivial tricks."

Bai Jinnian snorted coldly.

He made a stroke in the air with the spring and autumn brush in his hand.

A golden character for "Order" appeared out of thin air.

The character shone with brilliant light, filled with the power of noble righteousness and order.

*Puff—*

The surrounding illusions were struck heavily and instantly shattered into pieces like a mirror!

Revealing the dozens of Ghost Shadow Guards in the Formation, who looked horrified!

"How is it possible! He actually broke our illusion with a single stroke!"

"Found you."

Ye Wushang's figure had appeared behind a Ghost Shadow Guard at some point.

He reached out and lightly pressed his hand on the other person's head.

"Your Soul should taste quite good."

The Ghost Shadow Guard's body instantly shriveled up.

"Seeking death!"

The Ghost Shadow Guard Captain was furious!

"Form the array! Kill!"

However, he had just shouted out.

A golden halberd light had already torn through space and arrived in an instant!

Zhao Wuyou's figure, like a war god descending from the heavens, rampaged into the Ghost Shadow Guard's Formation!

The dragon emperor halberd swept across!

*Boom!*

Several Ghost Shadow Guards didn't even have time to scream before they were directly smashed into a bloody mist!

Like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood!

This was absolute power!

On the top floor of the pavilion.

Ye Chenfeng stood by the window.

He didn't make a move.

He just quietly watched his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters slaughtering everyone in the Formation.

His gaze pierced through the Formation, pierced through the sky over Dry Bone City, and landed in the distant direction of the Abyssal Demon Ridge.

He could feel it.

There, a more powerful and more evil aura was slowly awakening.

That was their true enemy.

Just then.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle..."

A burst of laughter, like silver bells yet filled with endless charm, abruptly rang out outside the battlefield.

The laughter seemed to have magic, causing all the fighting to pause.

At the end of the street.

A massive white bone sedan, carried by sixteen bare-chested, muscular Demonic Cultivators, slowly approached.

The bone sedan was carved from a single piece of an unknown giant beast's skull, with pink gauze curtains hanging from it, fluttering in the wind.

Through the gauze curtains, one could vaguely see a graceful figure with exquisite curves.

"The Black Flame Demonic Sect is truly becoming more and more promising."

A voice, charming to the bone, came from the bone sedan.

"To deal with a few little brothers from the Eastern Region, you even have to use something as unpresentable as the 'Ghost Shadow Maze Formation'."

"It's truly a disgrace to our Western Region Demonic Path."

Ghost Fiend saw the bone sedan, and his pupils shrank violently!

"White Bone Palace! It's someone from the White Bone Palace!"

"The one in the sedan is Madam White Bone!"

"Why would she come here?!"

The bone sedan stopped at the edge of the battlefield.

That charming voice rang out again, this time directed at Ye Chenfeng and the others inside the Formation.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle..."

"This little brother from the Myriad Dao Divine Sect."

"Seeing you all fighting so hard."

"Do you want Big Sister to help you swat these annoying flies to death?"

The voice was full of undisguised teasing and a hint of dangerous testing.

---

(PS: The following is filler content)

That voice, charming to the bone, pierced through the barrier of the Formation and clearly entered everyone's ears, and it also seemed to pierce through the pages of this story, softly ringing in your ears.

You can even smell a faint, sweet, and cloying fragrance.

Inside the bone sedan, that graceful figure seemed to have changed to a more comfortable position. She didn't look at Ye Chenfeng in the Formation, nor did she pay any attention to those Demonic Cultivators who were as quiet as cicadas in winter.

Her gaze seemed to pass through that layer of pink gauze curtains, falling with great interest on you, who are reading all of this.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle..."

She chuckled, the laughter seeming to be able to drill into one's bones.

"Little one, don't just focus on watching the show."

"You see, should Big Sister help these interesting little brothers, or... sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, wait for them to both be injured, and then turn them one by one into Big Sister's private collection?"

She stretched out a slender jade finger and lightly hooked it, as if hooking your chin.

"It's really a difficult choice."

"How about... you choose for Big Sister?"

"The 'Reminders for Updates' you click can make Big Sister's mood a bit better; the 'Power Generation with Love' you send might... make Big Sister unable to resist helping them out."

That voice became increasingly sweet and cloying, and also increasingly dangerous.

"Of course, you can also do nothing."

"In that case, Big Sister can only... follow my own preferences."

"And as for my preferences..."

"I have always liked to keep the most interesting toys until the end and savor them slowly."
