C40 (1/2)

The interior was like a huge courtyard, filled with countless withered and yellow leaves. In the midst of the dust, there was corruption and an ancient aura.

And in the middle of the courtyard, there was a building that was round underneath, giving off the feeling that it was a large cage that was several hundred times larger.

There was a curved arch at the bottom of the birdcage. Every few meters, gaps would appear. Many aged green trees and rattan branches intertwined together, giving off an ancient aura.

But of course, the birdcage wasn't built so solidly. It was also not built using an entire square stone, and it couldn't just be used to surround those azure green flowers and trees.

”Hahahaha, I'm finally in. I waited seven years. ”

Zhao Dapeng's expression was greedy, overjoyed.

Seven years?

Ye Feng thought.

Turning his head to look at the motionless Ye Feng, Zhao Dapeng said in a tone that did not allow any rejection: ”You go in.”

”What exactly is inside?”

”No matter how I look at it, this is not a building to prevent outsiders from entering, but rather a building to trap the things inside. What exactly is inside?” Ye Feng asked.

Zhao Dapeng's gaze turned stern, a tyrannical wind rose from under his robes, sweeping towards Ye Feng's body, as if he wanted to throw him into the black tunnel below the building.

Ye Feng seemed to have prepared for this step.

Taking a step forward, his figure seemed to disappear as he stepped out of the way.

A hint of coldness appeared on his usually calm face as he repeated, ”What exactly is inside this building? Also, what are you trying to use me for?”

He was just missing the last step, yet Zhao Dapeng's face was completely flushed from excitement and anticipation, causing him to ignore some of the details.

”Since we're already here, there's no point in hiding anything from you.”

The skin on his face twitched, and he looked extremely sinister. ”In this Floating Cloud Sect's Blessed Land, other than the Spiritual Spring, there is also a Demonic Beast, a Demonic Beast of at least Innate rank.”

”Spiritual Spring can help me temper my body and enter the Meditation Stage. On the other hand, the Aurous Core of an innate Demonic Beast can be refined into a Xiantian pellet to help me advance into the Xiantian realm.”

”But, what does it have to do with me? Why did you have to go through so much trouble to bring me here? ” Ye Feng shook his head suspiciously.

”Of course it matters, and it matters a lot.” Seeing Ye Feng's expression, Zhao Dapeng laughed and said, ”Because, the innate Demonic Beast inside is the one that the Floating Cloud Sect's Sect Master s fed with blood. As for the Floating Cloud Sect's Sect Master, he … His surname is Ye! ”

”Surnamed Ye?”

”It is your ancestor.”

After pausing for a while, Zhao Dapeng completely revealed the truth behind the riddle, ”His blood flows through your and Ye Tian's bodies …”

”So that's how it is … So that's how it is! ”

Ye Feng finally came to a realization: ”Innate Spiritual Beast is very powerful. With your cultivation, you can't do anything to it, and you covet the Demonic Beast's golden core, so the only way is to borrow the power of my Ye Family, or control or influence this Spiritual Beast. And the stronger I get, the thicker the ancestral bloodlines I have. That's why you are able to help me to improve continuously, and also why, as long as I don't level up to the Meditation Stage level, I won't be your match. You have the power to completely crush me … ”

”Ye Feng, you are indeed very smart.”
