”You can’t blame me for this, can you?” Chen Fei spread his hands, like a rascal, and said, ”If I didn’t do this, I’d be killed by you, or have my divine sense enter my body... You know how dangerous that would be.”

”You, you...” Pei Wanning was more embarrassed and angry. She had already been taken advantage of, yet in Chen Fei’s words, it was as if she was the bully? Such sharp wit, truly detestable.

”I’m going to kill you!” Pei Wanning, who was almost dizzy with anger, finally realized she couldn’t let this hateful Chen Fei off. She raised her hand, and terrifying spiritual energy surged forth.

”Miss Sister, are you sure you still want to fight?” Chen Fei summoned the Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl, instantly suppressing her spiritual energy, and walked toward her with a half-smile.

”If you want to keep going, I might just resort to any measures.” To Pei Wanning, Chen Fei’s smile was nothing but that of a scoundrel and a rogue.

”You, stay away from me! Don’t come any closer.” As Chen Fei continued to approach, Pei Wanning, for some reason, felt fear. Her sweet voice carried a slight tremble, and her delicate body instinctively took a few steps back.

”Isn’t this better? Everyone getting along without needing to resort to violence?” Chen Fei chuckled, shamelessly.

”You, you scoundrel!” Pei Wanning’s beautiful face was filled with humiliation and grievance.

Pei Wanning, the top beauty of Ghost Wolf City, was so noble in this land. But now, encountering such a rascal like Chen Fei, who she couldn’t even defeat or outwit, made her truly uncomfortable inside.

”You just wait! My Pei Family will definitely make sure your soul is utterly destroyed.” The more Pei Wanning thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, finally just deciding to go back and get reinforcements.

Within her family, there were countless who admired her, and just one word from her would make them do anything for her.

Hearing this, Chen Fei’s eyebrows raised. He appeared behind Pei Wanning while she wasn’t paying attention, wrapped an arm around her slender waist, and whispered by her ear, ”Miss Sister, are you telling me I should never let a tiger return to the mountain?”

”Since that’s the case, how about we set some ground rules, alright?” Chen Fei chuckled again. The tip of his other hand casually brushed along her delicate body.

”You, you...” Pei Wanning felt tiny goosebumps rise all over her skin. Her pretty face blushed again with shame and fury, ”You scoundrel! Rogue, untrustworthy... I can’t agree to any of your terms.”

”Honestly, I don’t want to fight you now, but if you go back and get reinforcements, I’m definitely dead... so if we’re putting it that way, it seems like I can’t let you leave.”

Chen Fei stroked his chin, then suddenly reached out to pat her proud, plump figure with a laugh, ”Why not just follow me? Let’s get a room first, and once things are settled, I’m sure your Pei Family wouldn’t turn down such a perfect son-in-law like me, right?”

”Ah...” Pei Wanning screamed with her face flushed red, glaring at Chen Fei angrily, ”If you dare touch me, I definitely won’t ever let you off! It won’t end well for you.”

”Then stop with the empty threats. I don’t want to hear you threatening me again...” Chen Fei chuckled, released her, and turned to leave while saying, ”Remember, this is our little secret; keep it confidential.”

He knew he couldn’t stay here any longer. Firstly, he was afraid things might get out of hand, and secondly, considering his current situation, staying too long in one place wasn’t safe.

”Wait!” But before Chen Fei had taken a few steps, Pei Wanning’s sweet voice called out again, coldly stopping him.

”Is there anything else?” Chen Fei paused, turned around, and carefully smiled. The momentum was gone, and he felt a tinge of nervousness, fearing this woman might suddenly lash out.

”Is the treasure map really not in your hands anymore?” Pei Wanning asked coldly, her proud chest rising and falling as she stared at Chen Fei intently.

”No lie, it’s really not in my hands. I gave it to Pei Qingshuang.” Chen Fei shook his head. He truly hadn’t spoken a word of falsehood.

Upon hearing this, Pei Wanning bit her lip lightly, her eyes fixated on Chen Fei until he started feeling guilty. Then she suddenly snorted, ”Shameless rogue.”

Chen Fei was slightly taken aback, shook his head with a bitter smile, and said, ”I have nothing to do with Pei Qingshuang, I don’t even know her. At that time, I just felt that the treasure map was useless, so when she asked for it, I gave it to her.”

”Who asked you to explain?” Pei Wanning’s pretty face, which had been cold, seemed somewhat more pleasant. Chen Fei wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination.

”Get lost, scoundrel! I don’t want to see you again. Next time, you’re in for it.”

Chen Fei awkwardly chuckled, turned around and left, disappearing into the ancient deep mountains.

”That scoundrel! Rogue! Lecher…” Watching Chen Fei’s departing back, Pei Wanning seemed to finally feel a late blush. Her pretty face was once again covered in a rosy hue, blooming like a flower ready to drip with water.

How pure she was! But after today, it was almost all gone. Her heart was in turmoil as she watched Chen Fei’s departing back, and she suddenly broke free from the ropes and secretly followed him.

It’s just a pity, Chen Fei didn’t realize.

...

”There really seems to be something strange about this place... Is something hidden underground?”

In the depths of this peculiar mountain, Chen Fei had circled around, discovering that this area was indeed odd, with his divine sense being restricted. He couldn’t help muttering to himself while staring at the underground below.

”Rumble!”

The ground trembled, and Chen Fei unexpectedly forced his way into the underground, penetrating deep below.

One hundred meters, nothing unusual! Aside from rocks and soil, it’s just some ordinary floating layers.

Two hundred meters, still nothing unusual... but Chen Fei’s brow furrowed.

He wasn’t sure if his feelings were wrong, yet the strange sensation in his heart seemed to deepen! And this shouldn’t be an illusion.

Boom!

At that moment, as Chen Fei continued digging down while pondering the problem, a sudden loud bang occurred! An extremely hollow feeling came from the front, unbelievably, he really broke through to something underground!

”Did you really guess right? Is there something hidden underground?” Within the sea of consciousness, the Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness was intrigued. Things usually hidden in such ancient mountains are never ordinary.

”Should we go in directly?” The Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness asked again.

Although he has lived long and his cultivation was quite powerful, he hadn’t really encountered such objects like ancient tombs before. He lacked experience.

Chen Fei didn’t speak upon hearing this but quietly watched the layers of filth rising from the underground to the surface, not taking action.

”Boom boom boom!”

Suddenly, as if thousands of horses and troops rushed out from the depths underground, the earth shook and the sound was deafening! This scene greatly startled Chen Fei.

”I knew it, a ghostly place like this cannot possibly be stable.” Chen Fei muttered to himself, his face displaying an uncertain expression. Given the current situation, with ghostly energy filling the sky and the earth trembling, whatever’s underneath is definitely not ordinary...

It might even be something that has become a spirit or a demon. Extremely dangerous.

”It’s actually Corpse Demons? What kind of place is this to have nurtured Corpse Demons, and in such numbers!?” Sudden surprise resonated from the sea of consciousness. The underground also emitted shrill, piercing howls.

”Corpse Demons!?” Chen Fei’s eyelid twitched fiercely, his face turning somber.

Then he looked towards the depths below, vaguely visible was the ruins of an ancient palace, where groups of swaying Corpse Demons stood, surrounded by ghostly energy, fearsome and hair-raising.

”Someone seems to have found their way here from outside.” Suddenly, the Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness spoke again.

Apparently, such startling commotion couldn’t have failed to alarm those outside searching for Chen Fei. They almost all rushed over.

There were many formidable older figures from Ghost Wolf City, such as Yanb Qingyun, among others; as well as leading figures from various factions’ young generation in Ghost Wolf City, or excellent individuals like those from the Yan Zhen Sect’s Zhul Xing.

Soon, a multitude of figures arrived, encircling the area completely.

However, when they entered the passage forcibly opened by Chen Fei and went underground, upon seeing those formidable Corpse Demons, their expressions changed drastically. Unbelievable.

”So many powerful Corpse Demons, and in such numbers?” Someone couldn’t help but exclaim.

”We hit the jackpot, this may be the tomb of an ancient powerful figure, surely treasures are hidden inside.” Someone else said with greedy enthusiasm.

If it hadn’t been sealed for centuries, could so many powerful Corpse Demons have emerged?

There’s no need to guess; they have clearly struck gold. This underground Corpse Demon palace certainly holds treasure.

”Where is that boy? Not here?” Someone still recalled Chen Fei.

”I think I briefly spotted him earlier. A shadow rushed inside, not sure if it was him.” Someone hesitantly muttered.

He indeed saw someone entering the underground palace first, but wasn’t sure if it was Chen Fei.

”Then let’s go in! Whether or not the boy is here, as long as we find treasure in this underground palace, the trip wouldn’t be wasted.” Someone couldn’t hold back and rushed forward.

Now everyone knows that a mysterious underground palace definitely harbors secrets and treasures. How could they resist?

”Let’s go in too! Don’t let that boy snatch the lead!” Someone took the lead, and the rest couldn’t hold back either. Excitedly, they rushed into the long silent mysterious Corpse Demon underground palace.

”Roar!”

At the same time, those groups of Corpse Demons sensed the invasion of outsiders in the underground palace! They roared, emitting Corpse Qi skyward, shaking the earth, and attacking the enemy...

This is their territory, not to be violated by outsiders.
