Come on, I'll take you to get your money!

Chu Xinghe had just left the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace when he suddenly came to a halt.

He sensed a looming crisis.

Shen Chengfeng remained hidden within the Void Realm, not showing himself.

However, he had already noticed the individuals lurking in the shadows.

They emitted an Aura that he found quite distasteful.

It seemed the commotion caused by the Divine Son was quite significant.

Clearly, some people did not want their Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace to prosper.

"You've finally decided to show yourselves."

At that moment, several dark figures emerged from the shadows.

Chu Xinghe stood with his arms crossed, looking at these people with a speechless expression.

"Brothers, from the looks of it, you're here to assassinate me, right?"

"Shouldn't an assassination be carried out in secret?"

"Coming out so openly like this... besides, as the Divine Son of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, how could I not have a Guardian?"

The group was dumbfounded.

Was Chu Xinghe teaching them how to kill people?

Before they could react, a powerful Aura descended from the sky.

The group instantly fell unconscious.

Shen Chengfeng walked up to them.

He performed a Soul Search directly.

"Just a few small fry. Someone gave them a sum of money to assassinate you, but they don't know who it was, nor do they even know your identity."

Chu Xinghe shook his head; they were indeed just pawns used for testing.

"It seems this journey won't be peaceful!"

Shen Chengfeng didn't say anything.

Originally, he had intended to take Chu Xinghe directly to their destination.

But Chu Xinghe had refused.

He had explicitly stated that people would come looking for trouble.

Shen Chengfeng didn't even need to think to know what he was up to.

Chu Xinghe likely wanted to catch them in the act to gather evidence.

And then extort a sum of money from them.

Chu Xinghe took a step forward, crossing ten thousand meters in an instant.

Several hours later.

"Careful."

Suddenly, masked individuals appeared.

Without a word, they attacked.

One of them went straight to intercept Shen Chengfeng.

The other two lunged toward Chu Xinghe for the kill.

Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up.

This was quite a grand gesture!

One Heavenly Palace Thirtieth Layer Expert.

And two more at the twentieth layer of the Heavenly Palace.

It seemed he, Chu Xinghe, was worth quite a lot.

Shen Chengfeng looked at the expert charging toward him.

He raised his hand.

Slap!

With one slap, the man's head was sent flying.

Shen Chengfeng was momentarily stunned.

Did he have to be this weak?

He quickly hurried over to the head.

He began the Soul Search.

They were actually from the Dark Palace.

This was a group of people who valued money over their own lives.

They certainly had some nerve.

However, through the Soul Search, he discovered their location.

As for the two assassins targeting Chu Xinghe.

Just as they neared him.

Runes appeared on Chu Xinghe's body.

They transformed into two swords.

Puchi.

Two heads flew into the air instantly.

Chu Xinghe walked over to the two bodies and removed their Storage Rings.

Seeing this, Shen Chengfeng followed suit.

He also took the Storage Ring from the Heavenly Palace Thirtieth Layer Expert.

Then he tucked it into his own pocket.

The resources in the Storage Ring he had given to Jiang Wanyin were actually borrowed.

He had heard that Chu Xinghe had a wife.

If she ever came to visit, he had to prepare some gifts in advance.

Besides, if Chu Xinghe needed resources later, he could provide them.

"Fifth Ancestor, do you know who they are?"

Shen Chengfeng nodded.

He looked at the three corpses.

"Let's go, I'll take you to collect some money."

Chu Xinghe's eyes brightened.

The Ninth Ancestor had told him before.

Shen Chengfeng was an expert when it came to demanding money.

On the way, Chu Xinghe looked at the contemplative Fifth Ancestor.

"Fifth Ancestor, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about how much money they likely have and how much would be appropriate to ask for."

"Since we're going to their doorstep to find trouble, we naturally need to prepare several sets of arguments."

Shen Chengfeng tore through the Void Realm.

He brought Chu Xinghe to a bottomless abyss.

Standing at the edge of the cliff.

Shen Chengfeng took a glance.

He pointed his finger.

A speck of light the size of a grain of rice blossomed from his fingertip.

Boom!

A beam of light ten thousand feet thick pierced through the opposite cliff.

Bang bang bang.

The dao rhyme was obliterated.

One powerful Formation after another rippled with fluctuations.

Attempting to block this attack.

"Who dares offend my Dark Palace?"

"Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, Shen Chengfeng."

Shen Chengfeng did not hide his identity.

Silence.

Absolute silence.

"Come out, don't force me to take action."

As his voice fell.

Three people emerged from the opposite side.

Chu Xinghe narrowed his eyes.

One Heavenly Palace Thirty-First Layer expert, accompanied by two at the twenty-ninth layer.

"Senior, please come in!"

Shen Chengfeng led Chu Xinghe inside.

He clearly didn't hold the Dark Palace in any regard.

Shen Chengfeng took the seat of honor.

The Dark Palace Ancestor sat below him.

A bitter smile was on his face.

"Greetings, Senior!"

"You should know why I am here."

The Dark Palace Ancestor took a deep breath: "It was a matter of necessity, I had no choice."

The Dark Palace Ancestor truly had no other way.

They didn't want to do this either.

But some things simply had to be done.

"Who?"

The Dark Palace Ancestor shook his head.

"Senior should know the rules of our trade. Even if you kill me, I will not betray the information of those people. I have already sealed my memories; Senior has no way to Soul Search them, and no one else knows this information."

Shen Chengfeng remained silent, staring at the Dark Palace Ancestor.

The Dark Palace Ancestor took a deep breath.

He pulled out a Storage Ring: "I also knew the assassination wouldn't succeed. This is our Dark Palace's apology."

Shen Chengfeng looked at the Storage Ring.

He brought out four corpses.

"One apology per person."

The Dark Palace Ancestor opened his mouth to speak but realized his position was weaker.

To repay that favor.

He produced four more Storage Rings.

Shen Chengfeng looked at the rings, then at the Dark Palace Ancestor.

"I won't kill you, but you let your subordinates move against me to annoy me. Pay up."

The Dark Palace Ancestor cursed inwardly.

Truly shameless.

He brought out another Storage Ring.

His heartache was visible to the naked eye.

He knew Shen Chengfeng wasn't killing him because he wanted information.

He treated it as paying money to avert disaster.

As long as the people remained, the money could be earned back soon enough.

"You frightened our Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace Divine Son. Pay up."

Hearing this.

The Dark Palace Ancestor's hand trembled.

So utterly shameless.

I'll give it!

He pulled out another Storage Ring.

Shen Chengfeng observed his state.

"Making us take a detour and delaying the official business of our Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace... give an apology gift!"

The Dark Palace Ancestor's mental defenses crumbled as he cursed internally.

He could only grit his teeth and hand over another Storage Ring.

By now, he had already paid out half of the Dark Palace's resources.

Shen Chengfeng remained unperturbed.

"Wasting the measures we placed on the Divine Son... you understand what I mean."

The Dark Palace Ancestor wanted to snap.

He wanted to point at Shen Chengfeng's nose and scream at him.

Inner thoughts: #￥@#￥#￥

He could only grit his teeth and continue to hand over a Storage Ring.

"I won't kill you all. I'd like to see who is behind you."

"Pay up to buy your lives!"

At this moment, in the eyes of the Dark Palace Ancestor, Shen Chengfeng was a devil.

Truly damnable.

However, once the favor was repaid, spending any amount of money would be worth it.

He gritted his teeth, his breathing becoming erratic.

He handed over another Storage Ring.

Shen Chengfeng felt the timing was about right.

"Very well, we'll be leaving now. Won't you provide some travel expenses?"

The Dark Palace Ancestor looked up blankly.

He even wanted travel expenses.

Shameless, so incredibly shameless.

You shameless old scoundrel.

Gritting his teeth, he handed over yet another Storage Ring.

Shen Chengfeng left with Chu Xinghe.

The Dark Palace Ancestor smashed the table with a single palm.

"F*ck!"

As soon as the words left his mouth.

A palm descended directly from the sky.

Their Dark Palace's Restriction flared up, but it was as fragile as paper.
