Chapter 72

"Exactly what price do you want me to pay for this matter to be over!" After gritting his teeth for a moment, Lu Fan had to speak in a low voice. Today's loss was a given, but if he bowed his head at this time, his fate might not be so miserable.

"Other price?" Ye Zhong looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, then a look of plucking feathers from a passing goose appeared on his face. "Forget it, since you are a well-known figure in the outer sect, making you kneel and slap yourself would be too much for you. How about this, you hand over all your spirit points, and this matter will be considered over. What do you think?"

"What are you saying!?" Lu Fan's face turned cold, and he spoke in a stern voice. He had been robbing others of their spirit points and taking their cultivation resources every day, but today Ye Zhong actually wanted him to hand over all his spirit points?

Ye Zhong's expression was indifferent, and he took a slow step forward, clearly not interested in continuing the conversation. Obviously, if Lu Fan did not hand over the spirit points, Ye Zhong was prepared to break his limbs.

"Damn! Don't come near me!" Lu Fan's face showed fear. "Don't you know who I have behind me? If you dare to treat me like this, do you still want to stay in the Star Formation Sect?"

Ye Zhong smiled indifferently, with no interest in further talk. Instead, he extended his right hand and grabbed Lu Fan's wrist.

As Ye Zhong applied a gentle force, Lu Fan clearly felt his bones start to crack. Clearly, this guy meant what he said and was really prepared to break his limbs.

"I'll give them to you!"

Thinking of the scene where others would beat him up after his limbs were broken, Lu Fan couldn't help but shudder. As Ye Zhong had said, he had been bullying others in the outer sect for a long time. If he was really crippled, many of the outer sect disciples who had been oppressed would likely take action. At that time, it would be hard to say whether he could even keep his life. In this situation, it was better to hand over the spirit points.

As he spoke, Lu Fan gritted his teeth and pulled out a silver spirit point card from his pocket, handing it to Ye Zhong while gritting his teeth and saying in a low voice, "Remember, I won't let you off easily!"

"Crack—"

"Ah—"

Before Lu Fan could finish his threat, Ye Zhong applied more force, twisting his left wrist and causing Lu Fan to scream in agony. He never expected that after handing over the spirit point card, Ye Zhong would still be so ruthless and continue to attack.

"Your mouth is too loose, and you always have to pay a price. I can't kill you, but that doesn't mean I don't have ways to deal with you."

Ye Zhong smiled and tossed the spirit point card in his hand, speaking calmly. His actions made Lu Fan's eyes twitch violently. Ye Zhong's methods truly made him feel terrified.

After a brief glance at Lu Fan, Ye Zhong's gaze shifted to the spirit point card. However, when he saw the number on the card, his eyebrows raised slightly.

One hundred thousand spirit points! This Lu Fan's spirit point card actually contained one hundred thousand spirit points! To put it in perspective, an outer sect disciple only gets fifty spirit points per month, and an inner sect disciple gets two hundred. Ye Zhong and Su Yu had to work hard to complete a high-level sect mission to get fifty thousand spirit points. For this Lu Fan to have one hundred thousand spirit points, it was truly unknown how he had accumulated them.

Smiling, Ye Zhong waved the spirit point card in front of Lu Fan's pale and ugly face, directly transferring the spirit points to his golden spirit point card. Then, with a look of despair on Lu Fan's face, he threw the spirit point card back.

"Thank you, Brother Lu. You are truly my treasure boy. I welcome you to come and cause trouble, but if your spirit point card has no spirit points, don't come."

Ye Zhong smiled warmly and patted Lu Fan's shoulder. This Lu Fan was truly a treasure boy. He was just worrying about not having enough spirit points to buy cultivation resources, and Lu Fan had kindly delivered one hundred thousand. Adding the thirty thousand he already had, one hundred thirty thousand spirit points should be enough for his cultivation for a while.

Lu Fan grabbed the spirit point card, seeing the zero on it, his face turned pale and green, and he almost spat out blood. He was used to robbing others of their spirit points, but today being robbed himself made him want to cry.

Laughter and sneers came from the surrounding Star Formation Sect disciples. Lu Fan's behavior had always been like this, and trying to take over others' cultivation courtyards was just one of his tyrannical acts. Today, a tyrant was being dealt with by another tyrant, and Ye Zhong's actions had given many of the Star Formation Sect disciples a chance to vent their anger.

"A bunch of trash, let's go!" After a long moment, Lu Fan finally suppressed the urge to spit blood and waved his hand to leave.

"Wait." However, as he turned to leave, Ye Zhong smiled and said.

"What do you want now?" Lu Fan turned back and glared at Ye Zhong.

"I don't want anything," Ye Zhong shrugged innocently. "You can leave, but I didn't say these trash can leave."

Ye Zhong smiled and said, "Come, come, come, all of you. Just hand over your spirit points, and I, Ye Zhong, guarantee you can leave. Otherwise, I guarantee I won't kill you!"

At this moment, Ye Zhong's calm and elegant smile seemed demonic to Lu Fan's followers. Many of them, with their faces changing wildly, finally gritted their teeth and handed over their spirit point cards with pale faces.

Don't joke, even Lu Fan couldn't match him, how could they, the small followers, be his match? In the end, even the two who had been crippled by Ye Zhong had their spirit point cards taken out and handed over to him.

Glancing at these spirit point cards, although the numbers were varied, together they added up to tens of thousands of spirit points. Ye Zhong didn't bother to check each one but directly threw the spirit point cards to Wang Mo, saying, "Wang Mo, after transferring the spirit points from these cards, keep them well. Let them each bring one thousand spirit points to exchange them back."

Wang Mo looked at the spirit point cards on the ground, speechless, but nodded after a moment.

Hearing Ye Zhong's last words, Lu Fan's followers were all stunned. This guy actually wanted each of them to bring one thousand spirit points to exchange the spirit point cards? These spirit point cards were a symbol of identity for Star Formation Sect disciples, and without them, they couldn't do anything in the sect. Ye Zhong had directly taken the spirit points, which was a very ruthless move.

The other onlookers were also stunned. Ye Zhong's actions were too ruthless. Such a person, if possible, should not be offended, or one would be dealt with until they wanted to cry.

"Ye Zhong, you wait—"

Lu Fan's face was extremely ugly, but he didn't have the courage to ask for the spirit point cards back at this moment. Under the mocking gazes of many, he supported the two heavily injured and left in a miserable state.

"Our Star Formation Sect has finally produced another ruthless person!"

"However, since Lu Fan was dealt with so badly this time, the person behind him probably won't let it go easily!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it looks like the next few days will be exciting! But this Ye Zhong is not a simple person. The so-called waste of the Ye family is actually so strong, it's truly surprising!"

The surrounding Star Formation Sect disciples also sighed, whether in praise or criticism, but from today, the name Ye Zhong would be widely known in the Star Formation Sect.

"Wang Mo, you've been wronged these days." Ye Zhong turned and said to Wang Mo with a slightly apologetic look. "Keep these spirit points and the spirit points they will bring to exchange the cards. Then go to the Spirit Technique Hall to exchange for the spirit techniques you need. Also, this time, Sister Su Yu and I obtained a mid-grade Spirit Technique for body tempering. When the sect sends it back, you can cultivate it. You can stop using the current body tempering technique."

"This..." Wang Mo was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Since you put it that way, if I refuse, I won't be a good brother."

After putting away the spirit point cards, Wang Mo pushed open the courtyard gate and smiled, "Come, Ye Zhong, see what place I found. Sister, please come in."

Ye Zhong's gaze swept inside and saw a rather elegant small courtyard. In the two corners of the courtyard were two separate pavilions. In front of one pavilion was a clear spring, emitting a strong aura of heaven and earth. Clearly, this was the place with the densest heaven and earth energy in the courtyard.

Under the courtyard of the Star Formation Sect, there were clearly some spirit arrays set up to gather the heaven and earth energy from a thousand miles around and distribute it to each courtyard. Otherwise, this scene would not appear.

Cultivating in this spring, the effect would likely be equivalent to three days of hard work in one day! No wonder the rent for this courtyard was five hundred spirit points per month, and Lu Fan had his eye on it.

However, although the rent was expensive, this place was the most suitable for Ye Zhong at this moment. With such a place, the time to break through to the fifth level of body tempering should be shortened.

"Thanks!" Ye Zhong patted Wang Mo's shoulder and didn't waste time.

"Sister Su Yu, I will be in seclusion to cultivate, so I won't disturb you." After a moment of silence, Ye Zhong turned and smiled.

Su Yu also knew that Ye Zhong was currently in trouble and needed to improve his strength. After hesitating for a moment, she said softly, "Although Lu Fan is not a significant figure, the person behind him is quite formidable. Be careful. However, according to the rules of the courtyard, as long as you cultivate here, no one will dare to disturb you. Be cautious, Ye Zhong."

"Thank you for the reminder, Sister." Ye Zhong smiled. He also knew that dealing with Lu Fan today would likely bring some trouble. After all, Lu Fan had been tyrannical for years, and there must be a reason. However, for the sake of his brother, he would bear the grudge, no matter how big it was!
