Chapter 84

The speed of the Rending Wind Divine Peng was incredibly fast. The distance from Yanluo Town to Yuanling City was much farther than from Baiyang Town to Yuanling City. Long Chen had originally taken ten days to make the journey, but with the Rending Wind Divine Peng, they were about to arrive in just half a day.

During this journey, the animosity between Huang Feiyang and Long Chen had grown intense.

"This Huang Feiyang didn't attack me on the Rending Wind Divine Peng, so he must be planning to trip me up during the mission."

Before reaching Yanluo Town, Huang Feiyang stopped the Rending Wind Divine Peng in a small village. People were already there to greet them, and they left the Rending Wind Divine Peng behind, heading toward Yanluo Town.

Only then did Long Chen understand why Huang Feiyang hadn't attacked him on the Rending Wind Divine Peng. There were people here to meet them. The massive body of the Rending Wind Divine Peng could easily alarm ordinary people, so it wasn't suitable to fly directly to Yanluo Town.

After leaving the village, Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya walked ahead.

"What are these two up to?"

Long Chen followed closely behind, unhurried.

This mission was unexpected, but he had just prepared the Spirit Fruit for Ling Xi, giving him some confidence.

If he really couldn't resist them, he would let Ling Xi take action. Long Chen had already discussed this with her. If they encountered an insurmountable crisis, she was allowed to act, but she must not risk her life.

Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya walked ahead.

Seeing his companion so calm, Wen Ya asked, "When do you plan to make your move?"

Huang Feiyang replied with a cold laugh, "Not yet. If Yan Beitian only sees the two of us, he'll definitely know that Long Chen has been eliminated on the way. He won't dare to spread the news, but the family will easily get the message."

"What do you plan to do then?"

Huang Feiyang said leisurely, "We're here to investigate and possibly kill, right? I heard the other side has a Human Pill Realm expert. Why don't we just hand Long Chen over to him?"

Wen Ya nodded, "You haven't been blinded by hatred. That's commendable."

The immense pressure from Huang Feiyang made Long Chen clench his fists tightly.

"Just a little more to reach the ninth level of the Dragon Vein Realm! Once I reach the ninth level, I can enter the Human Pill Realm. Then, even without Ling Xi risking her life to save me, I'll have the strength to deal with them. But this little bit is crucial for my survival!"

Yanluo Town was just ahead, and Long Chen didn't know what was about to happen. But he knew he had many responsibilities on his shoulders. He couldn't fail. If he did, Ling Xi and everyone in the Yang family would be doomed!

Entering the town, they didn't attract much attention, just like when Mo Xiaolang had entered Baiyang Town.

Returning to a place like Baiyang Town, Long Chen felt much more relaxed. He soon arrived at the town lord's residence, a family similar to the Yang family, with the head, Yan Beitian, at the peak of the ninth level of the Dragon Vein Realm.

Knowing that the Lingwu Family would send people today, Yan Beitian had been waiting at the entrance of his residence. When he saw three young men with profound cultivation approaching, he was overjoyed and quickly welcomed them, kneeling down and saying, "This humble one, Yan Beitian, greets the esteemed guests of the Lingwu Family!"

Long Chen carefully observed Yan Beitian, noting that despite his age, he was still robust, with dark, rugged skin like a black bear.

But now, his eyes were red, undoubtedly due to the loss of his daughter.

While Long Chen was sizing him up, Yan Beitian was also observing them. Seeing the young Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya, who had already surpassed him, he was deeply impressed. When he saw Long Chen, who was younger and less powerful, he dismissed him, assuming Long Chen was just along for the ride.

"Esteemed guests, please come inside, please come inside. Your presence here is a great honor!"

In Yan Beitian's excited invitation, Long Chen and the others entered the hall. Yan Beitian quickly had tea prepared and famous fruits and pastries from Yanluo Town served, warmly entertaining the three. However, his expectant gaze remained on Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya.

"Esteemed guests, please try our Yanluo Town's White Jade Cake. It's as beautiful as jade, sweet but not greasy, and melts in your mouth. It's a famous delicacy of Yanluo Town. Try it!"

Huang Feiyang smiled and took a bite, praising it highly. Then he said, "Lord Yan, we didn't come here to eat. Now that we've had our fill, let's discuss the matter at hand!"

"Of course, of course!"

Finally able to discuss the matter, Yan Beitian was very excited. He clenched his fists, thinking of those scoundrels, and the veins on his neck bulged!

"These incidents have been happening over the past few days. Every night, those bastards appear in the town and kidnap girls walking outside. They've been acting secretly, but more and more girls have gone missing. I organized a team to lie in wait and found out what was happening!"

Huang Feiyang frowned and asked, "Your letter mentioned that the other side has a Human Pill Realm expert?"

Yan Beitian nodded, his face full of anger, "Indeed, that bastard is stronger than both me and the head of the Luo family combined. He must be a Human Pill Realm expert! He even kidnapped my daughter!"

"Do they have any distinguishing features?" Wen Ya asked at this point.

Yan Beitian thought for a moment and said, "No major features, but I remember they all have a red dot on their foreheads!"

When he said this, Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya were just puzzled, but Long Chen's body trembled.

"Are they from the Crimson Blood Holy Sect?" Ling Xi asked softly.

"It seems so. Liu Lan knows I have connections with the Crimson Blood Holy Sect, so she assigned me this mission. If possible, I might get more information about the Crimson Blood Holy Sect! But with Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya here, things will be more complicated..."

"I heard about the missing girls and felt it was familiar. You mentioned something about the Jade Green Tower, right? It's those scoundrels again! Long Chen, how do you plan to deal with them?"

Long Chen smiled faintly and said, "This is Huang Feiyang's matter. Let them fight each other to the point of mutual destruction."

At this point, Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya were already discussing with Yan Beitian how to capture the people from the Crimson Blood Holy Sect.

"They've been kidnapping for a few days now. I estimate they're about to leave. They must be hiding in the Yan Dong Mountain beside the town, but I don't know exactly where!"

Thinking of his daughter's fate, Yan Beitian's face turned purple.

"Long Chen, he's so pitiful. You must help him!"

"I know. I also want to eliminate the people from the Crimson Blood Holy Sect, but let Huang Feiyang take the lead! Huang Feiyang will definitely try to kill me. I want to see what tricks he has up his sleeve!"

Staring at Huang Feiyang, Long Chen's eyes glinted coldly.

Yan Beitian was so focused on talking to Huang Feiyang that he had completely forgotten about Long Chen.

"Yan Dong Mountain?"

"Yan Dong Mountain isn't large, but finding a group of people there is very difficult!"

Huang Feiyang frowned and said, "Even if we can't find them, we still need to search the mountain. Otherwise, staying here won't help us come up with a plan!"

Yan Beitian's face showed gratitude, "Then let's not waste time. Shall we head to the mountain now?"

"No rush," Huang Feiyang smiled. "Yan Beitian, I heard you obtained the corpse of a Mystic Rank beast?"

At this critical moment, Huang Feiyang was concerned about the corpse of a Mystic Rank beast, which immediately excited Long Chen.

"If the Mystic Rank beast's corpse is fresh, its essence blood should be very beneficial to me. It could definitely help me reach the ninth level of the Dragon Vein Realm, and with the Spirit Fruit..."

Thinking of this, Long Chen was extremely excited and was secretly planning how to obtain the Mystic Rank beast's corpse.

At this point, Yan Beitian quickly said, "The corpse of the Mystic Rank beast should be enough to save my daughter's life, right?"

The custom when the Lingwu Family was hired was that local forces would usually present a gift after the task was completed. Yan Beitian, concerned about his daughter's life, had already mentioned in his letter to Yuanling City that he would offer the corpse of a Mystic Rank beast, which Huang Feiyang and Wen Ya knew.

This was also an additional reward for the two of them.

Even for the sake of the Mystic Rank beast's corpse, they would do their best to help Yan Beitian. Of course, for Huang Feiyang, killing Long Chen was a more important task.

Yan Beitian had noted that the Mystic Rank beast was freshly dead, meaning its soul and beast core still existed. Although it was just a first-grade Mystic Rank beast, it was still very valuable.

Seeing Yan Beitian's anxious face, Huang Feiyang smiled, "Of course it's enough. Give us the Mystic Rank beast's corpse now, and we'll head to the mountain. If we fail, we'll return it to you."

Although Yan Beitian felt it was unreliable to hand over the Mystic Rank beast's corpse now, his daughter's life was still in their hands. Reluctantly, he nodded, "Alright."

As he was about to produce the Mystic Rank beast's corpse, Long Chen suddenly said, "Wait a moment."
