Enemies met, but Ye Feng did not turn red with anger; it was Liu Tianlong and Hao Jian who did. The three, eager for revenge, rushed to Miaoyuan Water Industry after receiving the help of Master Ghost Wolf. At this moment, they were convinced that Ye Feng had no chance of escape. Even if he knew secret techniques, he could never be a match for Master Ghost Wolf.

The reason Master Ghost Wolf did not come in person was likely because he considered it beneath him to act personally. He believed that his ghost slaves alone could deal with Ye Feng.

Among the three, Liu Tianlong harbored the deepest hatred for Ye Feng. He had seen Ye Feng's file photo and immediately recognized him as the man who had sent his son to death row.

Ye Feng looked at the three people in front of him and felt a surge of anger. He did not know Liu Tianlong, but he knew Hao Jian and Zhao Chunnan. He was not heartless, but that did not mean he was soft. Since one lesson was not enough for scoundrels like Hao Jian and Zhao Chunnan, he decided to teach them another. This time, Ye Feng planned to increase the intensity of his soul-capturing technique, ensuring that even after they regained consciousness, Hao Jian and Zhao Chunnan would need to rest at home for a while.

However, this time, Ye Feng clearly underestimated his opponents, or more precisely, the four ghost slaves they brought.

Ghost slaves could be considered extensions of Ghost Wolf. Being already dead, they were immune to any physical harm and fearless. Additionally, their "loyalty" was extremely high, as they acted entirely according to Ghost Wolf's commands, without any hesitation. Lastly, infused with part of Ghost Wolf's ghostly energy, the ghost slaves themselves were formidable, each equivalent to a high-level martial artist. Four ghost slaves were like four high-level martial artists.

At this moment, the Law's warning came: "Through the spatial master's divine awareness, the Law warns the spatial master that the enemies you face are very powerful. Four of them emit a heavy yin aura. Please be extremely cautious. Among these people, there are two ordinary villains, one major villain, and four extremely evil individuals. If you eliminate them, you will gain 12,000 evil points. Please seize this opportunity and eliminate them all."

Ye Feng was shocked. 12,000 evil points—what did that mean?

Even if he collected 500 soul points every day at the seaside square, it would take him 22 days to gather 12,000 points. Considering the 10:1 ratio between soul points and evil points, it would take 220 days.

This was not something he could ignore.

At the same time, Ye Feng realized that the four pale-faced, expressionless individuals were the strongest enemies he had faced since obtaining the Nine Star Space.

His focus shifted from Hao Jian and the others to the four ghost slaves.

Meanwhile, in Liu Tianlong's old house, Ghost Wolf focused his ghostly awareness on Gu Nian, who was beside Ye Feng.

Why?

Because through the ghostly awareness embedded in the ghost slaves, Ghost Wolf discovered that Gu Nian was a woman born on a yin year, yin month, and yin day, and she was also a perfect virgin.

Such a woman, though not suitable for possession, was the best vessel for a ghost cultivator to break through to a higher level. If he could capture her and absorb her yin energy, Ghost Wolf could ensure his breakthrough to the late-stage Great Perfection of the Ghost Wolf realm, and even possibly to the early stage of the Ghost Leopard realm.

Yin women were far rarer than yin men. With his decades of understanding of China, Ghost Wolf knew it was a world with the same origin as the secret realm. In the secret realm, most yin women died shortly after birth, and those who survived to adulthood were extremely rare, let alone yin virgins.

At this point, Ghost Wolf no longer cared about Ye Feng's cultivation level. On one hand, he could not sense Ye Feng's specific cultivation level through his ghostly awareness. On the other hand, his most important goal was to break through his cultivation level so he could possess Liu Yong and leave the old house.

Once he achieved this, he could personally confront Ye Feng. If his cultivation level was higher, he could eliminate Ye Feng and absorb his soul. If it was lower, he would simply leave and return to the secret realm.

Exiting the secret realm was difficult, but returning was easy. Cultivators below the Yuan Ying level could not break through the barrier between the two realms, but those at the early-stage Golden Core level could easily return to the secret realm.

With Ghost Wolf's current cultivation level, he was at the late-stage Foundation Establishment of human cultivation. Once he broke through to the late-stage Great Perfection of the Ghost Wolf realm, he would reach the early-stage Golden Core level of human cultivation, making his return to the secret realm no longer a problem.

With this in mind, Ghost Wolf issued an order through his ghostly awareness, instructing the four ghost slaves to immediately capture Gu Nian.

Outside the Dongfeng Road café, the crowd was bustling, and no one knew what was about to unfold.

The four ghost slaves, having received Ghost Wolf's command, moved, targeting Gu Nian. Two ghost slaves approached her from the front, while the other two circled around to her back.

This sudden change surprised Ye Feng and puzzled Liu Tianlong and the others. Their target was Ye Feng, not Gu Nian.

Ye Feng instinctively protected the stunned Gu Nian, hugging her in his arms. Sensing the cold aura of the four ghost slaves, he had no choice but to temporarily retreat. Despite the crowd, he no longer cared about concealing his strength. He picked up Gu Nian and leaped into the air, rising over three meters to avoid the ghost slaves' pincer attack.

Gu Nian, feeling a mix of fear, panic, shock, and curiosity, was completely dazed.

Liu Tianlong and Hao Jian were also stunned. They had expected Ye Feng to know secret techniques, but they never imagined his physical abilities were so terrifying. Leaping over three meters in the air was not something a human could do.

The four ghost slaves were momentarily stunned but quickly received a new command from Ghost Wolf through his ghostly awareness: the attack on Ye Feng was a feint; the real goal was to capture Gu Nian.

While Ye Feng was still in the air, the four ghost slaves moved again, leaping high and extending their ghostly claws, attacking his chest, back, and head simultaneously.

The ghost slaves' yin energy was intense, making the surrounding air cold and foul-smelling. Even with his courage and skill, Ye Feng broke out in a cold sweat. This was equivalent to four high-level martial artists attacking him at once, a level of opponent far beyond what he had faced before.

Moreover, the ghost slaves' yin energy was released with their attacks, causing the body temperature to drop rapidly upon contact. Ye Feng could withstand it, but Gu Nian in his arms could not.

Unable to fully exert himself while holding Gu Nian, Ye Feng had to rise higher and then quickly move sideways, escaping the ghost slaves' encirclement and landing five meters away.

But the ghost slaves pursued him relentlessly.

In the crowded city, with the situation so urgent and dangerous, Ye Feng made a decision: he would run, carrying Gu Nian, to get away from the crowded area.

At least to a sparsely populated place.

Thus, a strange scene unfolded on Dongfeng Road. A young man, carrying a beautiful woman, ran at an incredible speed, each step covering two to three meters.

Behind him, four pale-faced, strange-looking men followed, each step also covering two to three meters, closely pursuing the young man.

The six of them quickly ran from the east end of Dongfeng Road to the west end, disappearing from people's sight.

Liu Tianlong, Hao Jian, and Zhao Chunnan were left standing in front of the café, looking helplessly in the direction Ye Feng and the others had disappeared, sighing. They all thought: "We never expected this kid to be so powerful. He managed to escape even with four ghost slaves surrounding him. Can we ever take our revenge?"
