Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2128

“Don’t call me master when we are in Twilight City. It’ll be easy for others to see through your disguise. You should address me as Young Master instead!”

Zhang Xuan instructed. “You are a Phosphor Armored Beast, so you don’t have a surname. Just follow my surname and call me Zhang Jia.”

“Yes, Young Master!” Zhang Jia nodded.

“Also, I’m a person who likes to keep a low profile. Make sure not to cause any trouble in the city!”

“Don’t worry, Young Master. I like to keep a low profile as well,” Zhang Jia replied resolutely.

Despite being the strongest divine beast in Twilight City, the fact that it chose to stay in its own territory was a testament to its personality.

“That’s good to hear. Speaking of which, who was the one who ambushed you?” Zhang Xuan asked.

The first time he met this fellow, it was two men with decent cultivation who ambushed him.

“It should be someone from the City Lord Manor. Wu Fangqing has long wanted to tame me and make me his tamed beast. However, he hasn’t succeeded yet, “Zhang Jia replied.

Zhang Xuan frowned. “Since the city lord wants to tame you, shouldn’t he do it openly and abide by the rules? Why would he resort to ambushing me? ”

Taming such a powerful divine beast would be a huge boost to the city lord’s prestige, so it was normal for the other party to covet it. However, wasn’t it a little beneath his dignity to resort to ambushing him?

After all, everyone in the city was operating according to the rules he had set. Wasn’t the city lord afraid of being criticized for not following the rules?

“Beneath my dignity? That’s all! ” Zhang Jia sneered. “Ambushing me is one of the best, but he has tried to poison me multiple times. If not for my powerful defense and detoxification ability, I would have been dead by now!”

“Poison?” Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

If that was really the case, he would have to be careful if he were to encounter the city lord.

He had thought that the city lord would really abide by the rules, but from the looks of it, it seemed like the rules were left behind by the strong, and people like him could trample on them as they pleased.

The person who had set the rules had never thought that they would be of use to him. After all, he was already above the rules.

The man and the divine beast chatted as they boarded the aerial divine beast and swiftly made their way to Twilight City.

At the same time, a letter was sent into Zhang Xuan’s residence.

“Ying Fei?” Looking at the name, Sun Qiang was confused.

The young master was not at home, and the others were all cultivating. Naturally, he was the only one who was busy.

“According to the other party’s statement, he is a merchant from the outer city, and he has come to pay a visit to Young Master!” The servant who handed over the name card said.

Although they had to settle down in a hurry, Sun Qiang still hired some servants to provide food for everyone. Otherwise, they couldn’t cultivate on an empty stomach.

“Let him in!” Sun Qiang nodded.

Soon, a middle-aged man walked in. It was the man who had left the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Butler Sun …” Ying Fei had already looked into the matter beforehand, and a smile crept onto his face.

“What brings you here, Mister Ying?”

As the host and guest sat down, Sun Qiang looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.

“It’s like this. The popular Beauty Pill in the city is made by Young Master Zhang Xuan, right?” Ying Fei went straight to the point.

“Beauty Pill?” Sun Qiang was confused.

What did Young Master do this time?

How come I’ve never heard of it …

“There’s no need to disguise yourself with me!” Ying Fei frowned. “Since I dared to come here, I’m sure that I have already investigated the matter thoroughly.”

“This …” Sun Qiang fell silent. Instead, he turned to Ying Fei and asked, “Then … what is your motive?”

The young master had too many means up his sleeves, and most of the time, he would do whatever he wanted without any prior notice. Given the current situation, he could only rely on the other party’s thoughts.

“Butler Sun is a straightforward person. Since that’s the case, I won’t beat around the bush. My motive is simple. I hope that you can sell the pill forging method to me. The price is negotiable.”

Ying Fei said.

“Pill forging method? You want to buy the pill forging method? “Sun Qiang frowned.

“That’s right!” Ying Fei replied.

Sun Qiang shook his head. “I’m sorry, but the pill forging method is something that my young master has painstakingly researched. It’s impossible for me to sell it. Men, send the guest out! ”

Even though he had no idea what the other party was talking about, there was no way he could sell the pill forging method that the young master had come up with.

“I think that Butler Sun should reconsider your answer. You shouldn’t answer so hastily … Even though Twilight City abides by its rules, you’ve only just arrived, and you’ve already offended One Inch Ash. Even if something happens to you, it’ll only make people hate bandits even more …”

The corners of Ying Fei’s lips curled up into a smile. With a flick of his finger, a wisp of mist flew straight toward the fatty.

The city lord had instructed him that if the other party refused to sell the pill forging method, he wouldn’t mind using force.

In any case, since the other party had captured Streak of Ash, he could make use of the name of a bandit.

Sometimes, it wasn’t that the bandits were incompetent, but that they needed to be alive so that they could lend their name to someone else.

“Are you threatening me?” Narrowing his eyes, Sun Qiang rose to his feet and took a step forward. With an imposing aura around him, he said, “I have followed behind the young master, traversing the world unhindered. Do you think that I would be afraid of threats?”

“You’ll find out soon enough whether I’m afraid or not …” Ying Fei said with a smile as he calculated that the poison gas he had just released had taken effect. Then, he stood up and placed his hands behind his back. “Are you feeling uncomfortable in your chest?”

Pah!

Before Ying Fei could finish his words, he suddenly felt a stinging pain on his face.

“Uncomfortable? You are the one who is feeling uncomfortable! Your entire family is feeling uncomfortable! ” Sun Qiang’s eyebrows shot up furiously. “Stop putting on an act here. Back when I was putting on an act, you were still playing with mud! You aren’t welcome here, so scram! ”

“You …” Ying Fei had thought that the other party had already been poisoned, so he didn’t think that the other party would make a move on him. Not expecting that he would be slapped, Ying Fei’s body trembled in anger. He was just about to slap the other party to death when he suppressed the urge to do so before flicking his finger once more.

Yet another wisp of poison gas flew over.

Pah!

As soon as the poison gas entered the other party’s face, Sun Qiang felt a stinging pain on his face once more. With narrowed eyes, he bellowed furiously, “Why? Are my words not working?”

“You … Why are you still fine?”

Ying Fei was astonished.

It was understandable that he had failed the first time he had used poison, but the second time, he had seen the other party still breathing the poison gas down his throat. What in the world was going on?

The poison gas might not be able to deal with the Phosphor Armored Beast, but ordinary high-tier Gods would still be unable to withstand it.

From the looks of it, the other party was not even a God, but the other party’s face was still completely unfazed. Could it be that the other party was actually faking his strength?

“I don’t believe it …” Gritting his teeth, Ying Fei flicked his finger once more, and all of the poison powder he had hidden in his body landed on the other party’s body.

Pah!

Sun Qiang slapped Ying Fei once more. “If you don’t want to die, scram! Otherwise, don’t blame me for getting nasty!”

I have already given you face, haven’t I?

Are you really going to toss a layer of powder at me?

It’s not like I’m a barbeque, so why the hell would I toss it at you?

Even though the three consecutive slaps were not heavy, they were still equivalent to a humiliation. Ying Fei was so furious that he nearly exploded on the spot. If not for the fact that he was afraid that the other party might be hiding his strength, he would have long since made his move.

“You’re courting death!”

Ying Fei’s face twitched. He was just about to send a slap at the other party when his ears suddenly twitched, as if he had heard some kind of telepathic message.

Hu!

Without any hesitation, Ying Fei dashed out of the room.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he saw two figures standing before him.

They were the two figures who had ambushed the Phosphor Armored Beast earlier.

“What’s the matter?” Ying Fei frowned.

“Reporting to Lord Ying, someone interfered with our mission to capture the Phosphor Armored Beast, and we failed,” one of the figures said with a sheepish look on his face.

“Failed?” Ying Fei was stunned.

“It was Zhang Xuan who suddenly appeared and saved the Phosphor Armored Beast. Furthermore, it seems like he has already tamed it,” the other figure said.

“Zhang Xuan tamed the Phosphor Armored Beast?” Ying Fei could hardly believe what he was hearing.

Others might not know how arrogant the Phosphor Armored Beast was, but Ying Fei knew it very well. As a low-tier Celestial God, he had paid a huge price to capture the Phosphor Armored Beast, but he had failed every single time. Yet, not only did a low-tier God save the Phosphor Armored Beast, he even managed to tame it …

“It’s true! I suspect that the other party has been concealing his strength, “the other figure replied.

“…” Ying Fei’s body swayed weakly.

He had already found it bizarre that a low-tier God like Zhang Xuan was able to capture the high-tier God, Streak of Ash, with ease. And now, he had even managed to tame a divine beast that even the city lord had trouble dealing with.

Could it be that the other party had been concealing his strength as well?

Could it be that he was just like the butler Sun Qiang?

Even though he had never come into contact with Zhang Xuan before, he had witnessed the strength of the butler named Sun Qiang earlier.

How could the other party be so confident without any strength? How could the other party dare to slap even an expert of his caliber mercilessly?

If the other party was not strong enough, why were the poisons he had poisoned ineffective at all?

If the other party was not even a god, he would have died many times over by now.

Not to mention, the other party had said that he would be able to dominate the Nine Skies with his Young Master.

“It’s fortunate that I didn’t make a move earlier …”

Ying Fei felt dizzy as cold sweat trickled down his back.

It was fortunate that he had managed to endure the few slaps and not fall out with Sun Qiang. Otherwise, if he had forced the other party to use his full strength, he would have died on the spot.

Realizing this, he discreetly turned his gaze toward the residence. The residence’s gate was still open, and he happened to see the plump man standing in the middle of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

The other party’s head was tilted slightly upward as he looked at the sky. His gaze felt as deep as the abyss, as if nothing could make him frown.

Ying Fei widened his eyes in realization. “He might not be a god on the surface, but he’s actually unfathomably powerful!”

The other party had slapped him, a high-tier God, several times consecutively, but he did not show the slightest hint of fear. Even after being poisoned so many times, his complexion was still as calm as ever. He would never have believed that the other party was just an ordinary human!

Could a Semi-Divinity actually possess such a disposition?

How could a Semi-Divinity absorb a lethal poison that even a high-tier God could not withstand and remain unscathed?

Without a doubt, the other party was an unfathomable expert!

Otherwise, there was no way he could be so composed!

Noticing Ying Fei’s expression, the figure opposite him asked anxiously, “Milord, what should we do now?”

“Let’s wait a little longer. Perhaps, we might be able to wait for Zhang Xuan to arrive …”

Ying Fei pondered for a moment before replying.

Even though he had already guessed that the other party was an expert, he was still a little worried. He wanted to check on the matter first to see what was going on.
