1125: Chapter 1118: The Big Tree Has Dead Branches 1125: Chapter 1118: The Big Tree Has Dead Branches After leaving the Polar Glacier, Ye Chenfeng and his companions didn’t immediately return to Capital City.
They made a call to Lin Kangsheng but did not rush back for two reasons: there were no direct flights to Capital City; and Shen Mingxuan, Li Nan, and others couldn’t wait to absorb the energy of the Ice Snow Lotus.
Therefore, Ye Chenfeng decided to stay in Yuefeng City for two or three days.
They checked into a small hotel called Yunnan Residence.
They weren’t too demanding about their accommodation and dining, which is why they didn’t seek out a five-star hotel.
The six people took six separate rooms.
Tired from their time in the Ice Snow World, they first took a good sleep.
The next morning, Shen Mingxuan, Li Nan, Lin Xinyi, and the others gathered in Ye Chenfeng’s room.
After having a simple breakfast prepared by the Yunnan Residence attendants, they quickly filled their stomachs.
Then, Shen Mingxuan and others looked at Ye Chenfeng with anticipation, eager to enhance their strength.
Ye Chenfeng took out six Ice Snow Lotuses from his Space Ring.
One should not touch these flowers directly with bare hands.
When he first arrived at the Polar Glacier, he had touched them and ended up with his palm frozen.
However, after merging the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus and part of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus in his Dantian, Ye Chenfeng could touch the regular Ice Snow Lotuses without feeling any coldness.
He placed five Ice Snow Lotuses in front of Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and the others, while he held one in his hand and began to absorb its energy using Soul Force.
But as the energy from the Ice Snow Lotus flowed into his body, it converged towards his Dantian without enhancing his strength at all, which left Ye Chenfeng feeling disappointed.
“Uncle Li,” he said, “it seems that regular Ice Snow Lotuses no longer have any effect on my strength, probably because I integrated the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus and part of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus!”
Cheng Dahhu said with a downcast expression, “Chenfeng, leave us a way to live!
You’ve already fused with the Thousand-Year and Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotuses.
If the regular ones could still boost your strength, then there’d be no point in us living.”
Seeing the Ice Snow Lotus in his hand had its energy drained and turned into icy powder, Ye Chenfeng had to admit Cheng Dahhu was right.
He had been the biggest beneficiary from the Polar Glacier adventure.
“Alright, Dahhu,” Ye Chenfeng casually said, “you all absorb the energy from the Ice Snow Lotuses.
I’ll watch over you.”
Li Nan expressed his gratitude, “Then we’ll have to trouble Young Master Ye.”
Since they did not have the protection of the Thousand-Year or the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotuses, Li Nan and Shen Mingxuan needed to be cautious while absorbing the energy.
They didn’t dare touch the Ice Snow Lotuses directly but placed their hands on either side, feeling the cold energy and carefully drawing it into their bodies using their released Soul Force.
The absorption process was agonizing and took a considerable amount of time.
Li Nan and Shen Mingxuan absorbed for a whole day and night, with Ye Chenfeng watching over them the entire time.
With a loud “bang,” the Ice Snow Lotus in front of Li Nan, who was at the Venerable Level Peak, burst open.
The air around him began to surge towards him, and a light shone in his eyes.
His aura kept climbing until he finally broke through the Peak barrier of the Venerable Level, advancing into the Initial Stage of the Saint Level.
“Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!”
Following Li Nan, the Ice Snow Lotuses in front of Shen Mingxuan and Lin Xinyi also exploded one by one.
Shen Mingxuan and the other three successfully ascended a level.
Shen Mingxuan went from the Middle Stage to the Peak of the Venerable Level.
Lin Xinyi advanced from the Initial to the Middle Stage of the Venerable Level, and both Cheng Dahhu and Xiao Liyuan moved from the Peak of the Sect Level to the Initial Stage of the Venerable Level.
“Who would’ve thought, who would’ve thought…
I didn’t expect to step into the Initial Stage of the Saint Level so quickly.” Li Nan, visibly moved and teary-eyed, stood up, bowed deeply to Ye Chenfeng, and said, “Young Master Ye, thank you, thank you very much.”
Li Nan was very clear that if it weren’t for Ye Chenfeng, they would not have obtained the Ice Snow Lotuses.
Such plants that can quickly enhance Soul Force usually only work the first time they are used.
Otherwise, with so many Ice Snow Lotuses at Ye Chenfeng’s disposal, it would be enough to create numerous Saint Level powerhouses.
“Uncle Li, you don’t need to be so polite with me.
We have faced difficulties together, and we’ll have to deal with the Heavenly Alliance together in the future!” Ye Chenfeng waved his hand as he spoke.
“Uncle Li, Chenfeng is right.
Anyway, my life, Cheng Dahhu, now belongs to you, Chenfeng.
I cannot repay your kindness in saving my life in this lifetime, so let my son repay your son.
If my son cannot repay fully, let my grandson do it.”
Ye Chenfeng casually shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, “Uncle Li, now that you have all improved your strength, let’s head back to Capital City!
We’ll discuss the next plan with Vice Alliance Hierarch Lin.”
After Ye Chenfeng and the others quickly packed up, they arrived at the Yunan Residence’s first-floor hall.
The hall was scattered with people, among whom three stood out conspicuously.
One man in the middle had a sneaky and rat-like appearance, a man on the left side was blind in the right eye, and a man on the right had few hairs on his head.
However, all three were very muscular, and wore arrogant expressions on their faces.
Of course, standing beside the sneaky and rat-like man was a heavily made-up woman, who was quite ordinary-looking.
Nevertheless, her figure was impressive, especially her “weapons”, which could practically blind a man.
Standing one meter away from the sneaky and rat-like man was a middle-aged man in a suit, his face pale and his eyes showing a look of unwillingness.
Ye Chenfeng and the others had seen this middle-aged man when they checked into the Yunan Residence, where he handed them his business card.
This middle-aged man was named Du Qi, the owner of this small hotel.
The sneaky and rat-like man, the one-eyed man, and the bald man looked like local thugs at first glance.
As for the woman clinging to the sneaky and rat-like man’s arm, she was originally Du Qi’s wife, Zhou Shaofu.
Two days ago, when the sneaky and rat-like man came to Yunan Residence for a meal, and the hotel was very busy, Zhou Shaofu helped carry some wine to his private room.
At that time, the sneaky and rat-like man was drunk and couldn’t control himself upon seeing Zhou Shaofu’s provocative walk, and…
in the private room.
At that moment, the one-eyed man and the bald man were guarding the door, preventing anyone from entering.
Little did anyone know, things would take a complete one-eighty-degree turn.
After the incident, Zhou Shaofu took a liking to the sneaky and rat-like man.
In her view, he was stronger than her husband Du Qi.
It’s worth mentioning that it was this sneaky and rat-like man who collected the protective fee for Yunan Residence.
After hooking up with the sneaky and rat-like man, Zhou Shaofu discussed with him about taking over Yunan Residence and kicking out Du Qi.
The sneaky and rat-like man was here today to cause trouble.
“Old Du, I advise you to beat it now.
From now on, Yunan Residence is mine.
You should know my way of doing things, right?
The guys call me ‘Brother Mouse’.
Out of consideration for your past relationship with Shaofu, I’m letting you off easy.
Otherwise, ask around and see who the biggest gang in Yuefeng City is.
Isn’t it Victory Sky Society?
My bro is the head honcho around here.
Weight it for yourself!” said the man known as Brother Mouse with disdain.
“Let’s go, let’s go, there’s nothing to see here, just some punks,” urged Cheng Dahhu.
However, upon hearing the name “Victory Sky Society”, Ye Chenfeng’s brows furrowed deeply.
Since the incident with Tianhai’s Victory Sky Society and with all the things Ye Chenfeng was dragged into, he hadn’t paid attention to the moves of the Victory Sky Society.
The Victory Sky Society was, after all, originally founded by Ye Chenfeng, and now its power should have spread nationwide.
Ye Chenfeng initially didn’t want to create a miasmic gang.
As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind; now there were many dead branches.
Ye Chenfeng would rather dissolve Victory Sky Society than see it go down a point of no return.
Since encountering such a situation here, how could Ye Chenfeng just walk away?
