”Lord Cang Kun, what do you mean by this? What’s there to fear about the Red Lion Cave?” Iron Three couldn’t help but ask in confusion.

”Indeed, Cang Kun, does the Red Lion Cave have some background or reliance we don’t know about?” At this time, Chen Fei was also somewhat confused and couldn’t help but furrow his brows and ask.

If that’s really the case, then it might be quite troublesome.

”Yes, Master, initially I didn’t know either, but later I learned from the mouth of Red Lion Daoist. You should all know that the Red Lion Cave has a Second Cave Master, known as Yun Shi Taoist, right?” Taoist Cang Kun spoke.

”Yes, we know.” Iron One nodded and said, ”Speaking of which, Yun Shi Taoist also seems to be an expert at the late stage of a Second Level Beast, in terms of combat power, only slightly inferior to Red Lion Daoist. However, he hasn’t shown up in recent years and seems like he’s disappeared.”

”He hasn’t disappeared. He was captured.” Taoist Cang Kun shook his head and said.

”Captured.” Chen Fei was stunned. Iron One and the others were also a bit taken aback upon hearing this.

What does being captured mean?

”This is how it is.” Taoist Cang Kun collected his thoughts, combined with his recent investigations, closed his eyes, opened them again, and said, ”The Second Cave Master Yun Shi Taoist of Red Lion Cave discovered an ancient tomb. It should have been left by a former Foundation Establishment True Person, which was initially a good thing. But later, it’s said that he encountered another group there, and they were from Ghost Wolf City.”

”From Ghost Wolf City?” Chen Fei’s eyes flashed with brilliance.

”Yes.” Taoist Cang Kun nodded and continued, ”That other group is reportedly from the Yan Zhen Sect of Ghost Wolf City, led by none other than Master Yee Mu’s own child, Master Yee Qing, one of the Seven Sons of Yan Zhen Sect.”

At this point, Taoist Cang Kun paused slightly and then said, ”Yun Shi Taoist naturally wasn’t a match for Yee Qing and the others, the treasures in the tomb were plundered by them, and not only that, Yee Qing seemed to have taken a liking to Yun Shi Taoist and eventually took him as a mount.”

”Master Yee Qing from the Seven Sons of Yan Zhen Sect actually took Yun Shi Taoist as a mount? This...” Upon hearing this, the expressions of Iron One and the others changed drastically, becoming somewhat flustered.

Although they don’t actually know or understand how powerful Master Yee Mu and Master Yee Qing are, what kind of strong existence they are! But the names of Ghost Wolf City, Yan Zhen Sect, and the Seven Sons of Yan Zhen are all so famous that they’ve heard them often and are well aware of their reputation.

Yan Zhen Sect, one of the top forces in Ghost Wolf City, even said to be more formidable than the main Pei Family, reportedly having a Peak Foundation Establishment True Person realm expert overseeing them, which speaks volumes.

And the Seven Sons of Yan Zhen are the most formidable and peak individuals of each generation in Yan Zhen Sect! Their combat power is unparalleled, deserving of the title of prodigies.

The weakest among the current Seven Sons of Yan Zhen sect supposedly have already reached the Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm! Just this generation alone is powerful to such an extent, let alone the older generation, let alone the entire Yan Zhen Sect.

In conclusion, even if dozens of Purple Flame Palaces were combined, they might not match up to Yan Zhen Sect, and now, Yun Shi Taoist has found such a huge backing... This, this seems rather troublesome.

”What kind of background does Yan Zhen Sect have, and what are the Seven Sons of Yan Zhen? Explain it to me in detail.” At this moment, Chen Fei suddenly spoke.

He is an outsider and evidently hasn’t heard anything about Yan Zhen Sect or the Seven Sons of Yan Zhen.

”Master, you don’t know?” Taoist Cang Kun was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, seemingly surprised that Chen Fei didn’t even know the famous Yan Zhen Sect and the Seven Sons of Yan Zhen. However, he quickly regained his composure and began explaining.

”...So that’s how it is, a top force in Ghost Wolf City? If that’s the case, then Red Lion Daoist shouldn’t have just let him leave.” Upon hearing this, Chen Fei was silent for a while, but finally shook his head and muttered to himself.

”It’s my negligence, please master punish me.” Upon hearing this, Taoist Cang Kun’s expression suddenly sharpened, rising to kneel on one knee and spoke.

”Stand up. This isn’t your fault; it’s just that we’re too weak now, otherwise, even if it’s Yan Zhen Sect, Yan Zhen’s Seven Sons, what could they do?” Chen Fei shook his head and said.

The higher he climbs now, the more he feels powerless at hand! It’s like there’s always a higher mountain, never ending.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei shook his head with a wry smile and spoke again, ”I’ve understood this matter. As for Red Lion Cave, let’s not deal with it for now, let’s see what Cloud Dragon Mountain plans to do in handling us.”

That Cloud Dragon Mountain, with so many people dead at the gates of their Enlightened Deity Cave Mansion, they must be simmering with rage.

”Yes.”

Taoist Cang Kun and the Eight Great Iron Guards nodded. Then, after a moment of hesitation, Taoist Cang Kun gritted his teeth and spoke, ”Master, I have another matter to report.”

”What is it? Speak.” Chen Fei asked.

”It’s regarding the Black Profound Copper Essence Vein. Can I bring someone in?” Taoist Cang Kun said.

”The Black Profound Copper Essence Vein?” Chen Fei was slightly stunned and nodded, ”Alright, let him in.”

Upon hearing this, Taoist Cang Kun nodded and sent a message outside the hall.

Moments later, a cultivator with a face of gray-blue, extremely wide jowls entered, looking anxious. But upon seeing the person, Chen Fei’s expression changed slightly.

The man in the black robe with a broad, blue face was none other than the Second Island Master of Canglan Island, the Blue Whale Elder, with whom Chen Fei had clashed unpleasantly before.

However, even though he was somewhat unhappy, he didn’t express it directly. He maintained a stoic face and remained silent.

Upon seeing this, Taoist Cang Kun, who was constantly observing Chen Fei’s expression, couldn’t help but feel slightly relieved.

As long as Chen Fei didn’t ask him to leave, it was considered good news.

”Blue Whale greets Chief Chen.” The Blue Whale Elder clearly understood this as well. He let out a long breath inwardly but remained respectful on the surface, bowing towards Chen Fei with clasped hands.

Witnessing this scene, the Eight Great Iron Guards, including Iron One, couldn’t help but click their tongues, even though they were numbed inside. They were incredibly shocked.

It should be noted that this was the Second Island Master Blue Whale Elder from Canglan Island! Even the Sect Master of Cloud Dragon Mountain, Blackwind, dared to hunt him down. He was notoriously ruthless and lawless in the hundreds of miles around them. But now?

Now, such a fearsome character was obedient, like a kitten, in front of their master!

How could they hold back their amazement at such a shocking scene?

”Hmm.” Chen Fei wasn’t a particularly vengeful person. At most, he disliked threats. Now that the Blue Whale Elder was treating him so well, he naturally didn’t bother to hold a grudge.

Thus, after nodding slightly, Chen Fei turned to Taoist Cang Kun and asked, ”Now, can you tell me what’s going on? Does it have something to do with him?”

Chen Fei extended his hand and pointed at the Blue Whale Elder.

”Master, here’s the situation.” Instead of answering directly, Taoist Cang Kun began, ”Previously, when Red Lion Cave and Cloud Dragon Mountain launched a massive attack on our Enlightened Deity Cave Mansion, Red Lion Cave split their forces into two paths, sending two experts at the Peak of Qi Refining Eighth Layer and an expert at Qi Refining Ninth Layer to sneak attack the Black Profound Copper Essence Vein!”

”Is that so?” Hearing this, a sharp glint filled Chen Fei’s eyes, and he involuntarily felt a chill.

He had only sent Mon Yi to guard the Black Profound Copper Essence Vein, but now, if there were two experts at the Peak of Qi Refining Eighth Layer and an expert at Qi Refining Ninth Layer launching a raid, how could he hold them off?

”Yes.” Taoist Cang Kun nodded and glanced at the still-bowing Blue Whale Elder. He stroked his lustrous beard and continued, ”However, Blue Whale seemed to have guessed their little ploy and stationed himself there in advance, capturing and annihilating the Red Lion Cave forces that went to raid!”

”Is that so?” Upon hearing this, Chen Fei glanced at the Blue Whale Elder and noticed the gratitude in his eyes towards Taoist Cang Kun. He understood and said calmly.

”Chief Chen, here are the three leaders of the raid on the Black Profound Copper Essence Vein. Their bodies are here.” The Blue Whale Elder spoke up as well.

With a wave of his hand, three corpses flew out from his storage bag and landed on the ground.

”They’re the elders from Red Lion Cave.” Upon seeing the corpses on the ground, Iron One and the others immediately recognized them.

Evidently, they had dealt with them before. Of course, they recognized them.

”What’s the situation at the mine? How about Mon Yi and the others?” Chen Fei asked, nodding slightly upon hearing this.

”Reporting to Master, at the Black Profound Copper Mine Cave, Iron One and I sent two elite teams to guard it after receiving the news. As long as an expert in Qi Refining Ninth Layer doesn’t personally lead a team there, there shouldn’t be any issues.”

Taoist Cang Kun said and continued, ”Moreover, because Blue Whale appeared in a timely manner and stationed there in advance, there were no casualties at the mine.”

”That’s good.” Chen Fei nodded. He looked at the Blue Whale Elder again and said, ”So it seems, we really must thank the Blue Whale Island Lord for his righteous act this time.”

”Not at all, it was nothing,” the Blue Whale Elder replied modestly, biting his lip. Under Taoist Cang Kun’s gaze, he quickly added, ”Chief Chen, I was previously disrespectful because I, Blue Whale, failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me...”

”One matter is separate from another. I’m not that vengeful of a person.” Chen Fei interrupted him, speaking calmly.

”Yes.” The Blue Whale Elder nodded and, biting his lip again, said, ”Chief Chen, I wonder if there is still room on your side for a loyal subordinate. If you don’t mind, I, Blue Whale, wish to follow you from now on.”

”What!?”

Upon hearing these words, the Eight Great Iron Guards, including Iron One, were utterly shocked, their hearts pounding intensely.

Looking at the Blue Whale Elder and then at the expressionless Chen Fei, their feelings were indescribable.

Hey, come on, that’s the Second Island Master of Canglan Island at the Peak Realm of Second Level Late Stage Beast, the Blue Whale Elder! But now? Now he’s saying he wants to serve the master personally!?

This, this, this is incredible!
