Chapter 142: Chain Assassination!

A spirit tool with one hundred and twenty-eight restrictions was almost the limit for spirit tools.

If more restrictions were added, the spirit tool could hardly withstand the pressure, and the result would be its destruction.

Moreover, spatial spirit tools were extremely rare, and a one-hundred-twenty-eight-restriction spatial spirit tool was even more precious.

If this tool were known to the outside world, it would surely stir up a storm of blood and violence!

Ye Yuan had not expected that Yuan Fei would possess such a spirit tool.

"Yuan Fei, where did you get this spirit tool?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

"Back when I was at the peak of the second rank, although I had awakened my inherited memories, I could not find the opportunity to break through. So I made up my mind and ventured deep into the Boundless Forest alone, seeking a breakthrough. Who knew that I would stumble into a human cave dwelling, and that was where I obtained this spirit tool." Yuan Fei did not hide the truth from Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan said in surprise, "A human cave dwelling? Isn't the Boundless Forest the domain of demon beasts? How could there be a human cave dwelling?"

Yuan Fei shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. But I only obtained this spirit tool at the outermost part of the cave dwelling. The restrictions inside were too powerful; I didn't dare to go deeper. At that time, I got a few demon spirit pills and this spatial spirit tool in the cave, then quietly retreated. Later, I took the demon spirit pills and successfully broke through to the third rank."

"Oh? In a human martial artist's cave dwelling, there were actually things like demon spirit pills? It seems you have great fortune, Yuan Fei. Your future achievements will surely be extraordinary!" Ye Yuan said with emotion.

From Yuan Fei's account, his luck was simply incredible!

At that time, Yuan Fei was only at the peak of the second rank. Venturing deep into the Boundless Forest was almost like seeking death. Yet not only did he not die, he inexplicably found the opportunity to break through and smoothly advanced to the third rank.

And now, Yuan Fei had met Ye Yuan. This could no longer be described as just good luck!

By staying by Ye Yuan's side, as long as Yuan Fei did not die, his future achievements would be limitless!

As Yuan Fei himself said, meeting Ye Yuan was his greatest fortune!

"Thank you, Young Master!" Yuan Fei said respectfully.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "From the looks of it, this human cave dwelling should be the palace of some extremely powerful being. This Boundless Forest is truly an interesting place!"

Yuan Fei's words stirred Ye Yuan's intense curiosity about that cave dwelling. When his strength grew in the future, he would definitely go and take a look.

"Alright, there's no time to lose. Yuan Fei, quickly pack up, gather your clan into the spatial spirit tool, and come with me. Usually, you and your clan can stay in the spatial spirit tool to cultivate. When I need you, I will call you." Ye Yuan instructed.

"Yes, Young Master!" Yuan Fei accepted the order and began the monumental task of relocating his entire clan.

This Red Peak Ridge was also a place of excellent feng shui. Besides the Red Soul Grass, there were many precious medicinal herbs.

Ye Yuan naturally would not waste these things. He had them all gathered and sent into the spatial spirit tool.

Of course, to Ye Yuan now, the most precious were the Red Soul Grass.

Ye Yuan asked Yuan Fei for three or four plants, and had the rest stored in the spatial spirit tool.

Once everything was settled, Yuan Fei and his clan all entered the spatial spirit tool, which then shrank into a small bead the size of a soybean, which Ye Yuan carried on him.

...

Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou walked down the ridge. The once bustling Red Peak Ridge was now eerily silent.

But this situation would not last long. The Boundless Forest never lacked demon beasts, and soon this place would be occupied by other demon beasts.

There would naturally be some fighting involved, but that had nothing to do with Ye Yuan.

His trip to Red Peak Ridge could be said to be a full harvest. Not only had he obtained the Red Soul Grass, but he had also subdued a third-rank demon beast.

Feng Zhirou still felt as if she were dreaming. The experiences of this day and night were too bizarre.

"Ye Yuan, am I not dreaming? Did we really subdue a third-rank demon beast?"

"You can pinch yourself. If it hurts, then you're not dreaming. Ouch! I told you to pinch yourself, why did you pinch me?"

"Since it hurts so much, it seems I'm really not dreaming! But I still feel it's not real. Ye Yuan, if you released the Ape King and his clan, wouldn't they be able to directly destroy the Qin Kingdom?"

Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Don't be silly! Yuan Fei cannot be seen in public; he is only useful at critical moments. Think about it—what would be the consequences if a third-rank demon beast appeared in human territory? Moreover, Yuan Fei and his clan are hiding in the spatial spirit tool. If the spatial spirit tool were exposed, not only I, but even the Qin Kingdom would face utter destruction! So after we return, we must keep our mouths shut. Understand?"

Feng Zhirou was a carefree person. She had only thought that having a third-rank demon beast as a follower would be impressive; she hadn't considered the serious consequences.

"Really? I was just thinking of taking Yuan Fei out to show off, but they can't even show their faces?" Feng Zhirou felt a wave of disappointment.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan put on a stern face and said, "Senior Sister, after we go back, you must act as if nothing happened. Otherwise, the consequences are something neither of us can bear!"

"Alright, alright, I know! I won't even tell Auntie, rest assured!"

Feng Zhirou was mischievous but not stupid. Since Ye Yuan had put it that way, she naturally understood the gravity of the situation.

Especially that spatial spirit tool—it was like a time bomb!

The two chatted as they walked and soon descended the mountain.

The Red Soul Grass was already in hand; the next step was the Pine Sun Fruit.

The place where the Pine Sun Fruit grew was called the Gray Pine Forest. It was not a particularly dangerous place, being the territory of a second-rank demon beast.

Now with Yuan Fei, obtaining the Pine Sun Fruit would be a simple task.

As they walked, the two entered a dense forest.

Killing intent flashed without warning!

An arrow pierced through layers of trees, shooting toward Ye Yuan's heart at an extremely fast speed!

The distance of this arrow was neither too far nor too close, preventing Ye Yuan from detecting it in advance while giving him no time to react!

However, Ye Yuan still reacted. His perception of qi was not something ordinary Qi Realm martial artists could match.

He instantly activated Void Breaking Step, leaping to the side, narrowly dodging the arrow!

Just as Ye Yuan was about to summon Yuan Fei, another warning sign arose!

A figure burst out from the grass beside him, heading straight for the direction he had jumped!

In other words, Ye Yuan's dodge had coincidentally run into the next wave of assassination!

A blade flashed, and a powerful aura surged—it was a full-force strike from a Liquid Realm fifth-layer cultivator!

At that moment, Ye Yuan also struck out with his palm!

But his palm was not aimed at the assassin; instead, it struck the ground.

Eight Layers of Overlapping Waves Heart Palm!

"Boom!"

Mud splattered, and Ye Yuan's body forcibly changed direction, once again narrowly avoiding the blade!

"Ssh!" The blade still cut Ye Yuan's arm.

But it was not over yet!

A third attack came at Ye Yuan again!

This was a precisely calculated chain assassination!

The opponent had accounted for all of Ye Yuan's possible reactions!

Ye Yuan was in imminent danger!
