Chapter 661: A Generous Donation From the Gu Family

“Here are my spatial rings and storage pouches! Let my son go now!” Patriarch Gu gritted his teeth and handed over his treasures to Yuan.

Meanwhile, Feng Yuxiang also collected Gu Tao’s spatial rings and storage pouches.

“H-Here you go, Senior Fairy!”

Gu Tao handed all of his possession to Feng Yuxiang without any hesitation. In his mind, nothing in this world was more valuable than his cultivation that took years of effort to build.

After taking his treasures, Feng Yuxiang returned to Yuan’s side and gave them to him.

“Thank you, Feng Feng.”

“C-Can we leave now?” Patriarch Gu asked him, seemingly in a hurry to leave.

“Yes, you can—”

However, before Yuan could finish his sentence, Xiao Hua stepped forward and said, “Wait.”

“What’s the matter?” Yuan looked at her.

She pointed at Patriarch Gu and spoke in a calm voice, “He still has a spatial ring hidden on his body.”

Patriarch Gu’s entire body trembled when he heard Xiao Hua’s claims.

“T-That’s outrageous! I have already given you everything I own! I don’t have anything else on me!” He exclaimed in a furious tone.

Yuan frowned and said, “Xiao Hua wouldn’t lie to me. If she says you’re hiding something, then you’re hiding something! I will give you one last chance!”

Patriarch Gu stared at Xiao Hua with killing intent in his gaze.

Feng Yuxiang chuckled and said, “I wouldn’t do anything silly if I were you, Patriarch Gu. She’s even stronger than me. In fact, she’s a Spirit King who came from the upper heavens.”

“W-What?! Impossible!”

Xiao Hua didn’t say anything and released some of her cultivation base.

‘It’s real! She’s actually a Spirit King! What is a Spirt King doing here?!’ Patriarch Gu could feel the blood in his body getting drained when he realized this fact, making his complexion as pale as ghosts.

‘Damn! Damn it all! This is all because of the Min Family!’

Patriarch Gu reluctantly retrieved his hidden spatial ring that had all of his most valuable treasures and handed it over to Yuan.

“If you take this from me— from my family, you will definitely regret it! The Gu Family will become your eternal enemy! Think about this carefully one more time!” Patriarch Gu glared at Yuan with red eyes.

Under normal circumstances, he would not surrender this spatial ring even if he had to sacrifice his own son. However, he was before a Spirit King. If he doesn’t obey their commands, he could lose his own life, as well as his treasures.

Yuan didn’t hesitate to take the spatial ring from his hand and said in a cold voice, “You shouldn’t have tried to force Min Li. You deserve this punishment.”

“Let’s go.” Yuan began walking away after accepting the Gu Family’s generous donation.

The Gu Family could only stand there and watch as they disappear from the scene.

“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” Patriarch Gu began destroying whatever was around him in an outburst of anger.

“Father… It’s just a few spatial rings. We have plenty of treasure at home…” Gu Tao tried to calm him down, unaware of what Yuan had really taken away from them.

However, Patriarch Gu slapped him and shouted, “Just a few spatial rings?! Do you have any idea what was inside those spatial rings?! All of our family heritage and secret cultivation techniques are inside that spatial ring!”

“WHAT?!” Gu Tao exclaimed in a shocked voice when he realized the severity of the situation.

“W-Why would you even carry them around with you?! Father! We need to take them back even if we have to risk our lives!”

“You’re dumber than I thought, Gu Tao! They had a Spirit King with them! She’ll kill us before we can even touch them, much less take back our treasures!”

“Then what can we do? We can’t just let them get away with this!”

“We’re going back home! I will contact our Seniors from Spirit Heaven and ask them to avenge us and take back our treasures! We cannot allow them to steal from our Gu Family at all cost!” Patriarch Gu said.

“Thank you for protecting me, Yuan…” Min Li said to him afterward with a rosy face.

“I made a promise, after all.” Yuan smiled.

“Young Master, you were very cool back there. I cannot believe you actually dared to steal from the Gu Family.” Feng Yuxiang chuckled.

“I didn’t steal anything from them. They offered it to me as a donation.” He casually shrugged.

“Anyways, even though I have their spatial rings and storage pouches, I cannot open them since their owners are not dead. What should I do?”

“You can forcefully remove the previous owner’s mark on them, but you’ll need an Array Master to do so. If someone without experience does it and screws up, they risk destroying the spatial ring and the contents inside.”

“I definitely don’t want that to happen. And what’s an Array Master?”

“An Array Master is something like a Formation Expert. They specialize in arrays while Formation Experts specialize in formations.” Feng Yuxiang said.

And she continued, “As for the difference between them… Arrays are small formations that require very little time to cast, allowing Array Masters to use them efficiently and quickly, and creating arrays only require spiritual energy.”

“As for formations, they are much larger in scale that requires preparation and a large number of resources, and they usually require more than one person to activate.”

“In other words, arrays are simple and small formations that can be created and used during a fight while formations are more complex and require preparation before they can be activated.”

The Thousand Swords Formation that was once used by the Flying Sword Sect is considered a formation since it covers the entire sect and requires many people to activate. Arrays, on the other hand, are fundamentally like formations, but they function more like techniques.

“You won’t find any Array Masters in the Lower Heaven, Young Master. Even in the Spirit Heaven, they can be quite rare.” Feng Yuxiang said to him.

“That’s fine. I am not in a hurry to open these spatial rings.” Yuan said.
