My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 146 - 145: I Alone am Honored

Dongfang Jian was in high spirits because he had won the bet!

Taking the risk to save Xiong Batian, he had then smoothly become Xiong Batian's disciple! Now that Xiong Batian had become the Sect Leader of the Yin Yang Sect, he had become the Sect Leader's top disciple, and from then on, he could roam freely within the Yin Yang Sect.

Xiong Batian, leading Dongfang Jian around to inspect the area, appeared majestic and invincible!

All the disciples bowed respectfully, their faces showing a hint of fear. They had received the news that Xiong Batian had defeated all the elders and become the Sect Leader, and from now on, the Yin Yang Sect would be under Xiong Batian's rule.

Seeing the Yin Yang Sect's disciples treating him with such reverence, Dongfang Jian felt a bit emotional inside. Having a powerful master as his support felt really good.

"Master! There's something I'm not sure if I should say or not..." Dongfang Jian said with a hint of hesitation.

"Speak. Whatever you want to say, say it. Even if it's wrong, I won't blame you," Xiong Batian said with a laugh.

"The previous Sect Leader of the Yin Yang Sect, Tang Shitian, is currently in closed-door cultivation at the Life and Death threshold, and no one knows whether he's dead or alive... If... I'm just saying if..." as Dongfang Jian spoke, he stealthily watched Xiong Batian's expression, "If Tang Shitian is alive... and he comes out of retreat... it might cause you some trouble, Master..."

"Continue," Xiong Batian said with a calm expression.

"Strike first is strongest, strike later suffers!" Dongfang Jian said ominously, "Let's go find Tang Shitian now. While he's vulnerable, we take his life!" Saying this, Dongfang Jian made a throat-slitting gesture.

"I wish I could," Xiong Batian said shaking his head helplessly, "but I cannot find Tang Shitian."

Dongfang Jian was taken aback, "Can't find him? How is that possible?"

"I only know that Tang Shitian has gone into closed-door cultivation at the Life and Death threshold. As for where he's doing it, I have no idea," Xiong Batian said, "Tang Shitian is very cautious. When he chose to enter this threshold, he must have found a particularly secluded place to cultivate. It's going to be extremely difficult to find him."

"Let's search a bit. What if we do find him?" Dongfang Jian said, not willing to give up. If Tang Shitian wasn't dead, he wouldn't be able to rest easy.

"You're right, we should look for him. If we're lucky and actually find Tang Shitian, then we'll kill him to eliminate any future troubles," a cold light flashed in Xiong Batian's eyes, "I'll leave this matter to you. Take my token, and you can move freely and enter any place. If anyone dares to stop you, tell me, and I'll deal with them."

"Yes!" Dongfang Jian nodded vigorously, "Master, rest assured, I will find Tang Shitian." After saying this, Dongfang Jian paused, "Master... when can I start cultivating?"

"There's no rush. After I fully control the Yin Yang Sect, I'll teach you the methods of cultivation," Xiong Batian waved his hand, "Come, let's go see Tang Shitian's residence. He has collected quite a few treasures over the years, and now they all belong to me, hahaha..." As he said this, Xiong Batian burst into laughter.

The feeling of being above everyone else was indeed delightful.

This feeling must be maintained!

...

After several days of healing, Gao Fei's internal injuries had mostly healed, and he estimated that he would fully recover in a few more days.

The secret technique was indeed powerful, but its side effects were also severe!

He must not use the secret technique again unless absolutely necessary.

While Gao Fei was contemplatively lying there, Lu Sanyang, who had been lying on the ground, slowly opened his eyes. He first looked around the environment, then fixed his gaze on Gao Fei, his eyes full of resentment and hatred.

"You're awake," Gao Fei said, turning his head and casting a casual glance at Lu Sanyang.

"If I do not return to the Yin Yang Sect for a long time, the elders will surely become suspicious," Lu Sanyang said coldly, "They will definitely send disciples to search for me, and by then, the fact that you're holding me captive will be exposed."

"Every day of freedom I have is a gain," Gao Fei said slowly, "If it really becomes unsustainable, then I'll consider other options."

"Hmph!" Lu Sanyang turned his head away, no longer paying attention to Gao Fei. He now loathed Gao Fei to his core and couldn't wait to tear him to pieces! Once he calmed down, Lu Sanyang began to ponder his future. His Dantian had been shattered, and he would never be able to cultivate immortality again. Even if he escaped in the end, he could only live as a crippled being.

Accustomed to a life of superiority, could Lu Sanyang bear to live a humble life?

The answer was definitely negative!

If he couldn't bear it, then what was the point of living?

At that moment, Lu Sanyang began to entertain thoughts of suicide. Death would free him of all his worries...

"Hey, old man, you better not be thinking of suicide," Gao Fei seemed to know what Lu Sanyang was pondering, "If you dare to kill yourself, I'll strip you naked, throw you onto the city gate tower for the whole world to see, and then mince your body to feed the dogs, ensuring you will never find peace in death."

"You wouldn't dare!" Lu Sanyang roared in anger.

"What wouldn't I dare?" Gao Fei's lips slowly curled up into a smirk, "Old man, don't you want to take your revenge on me? Don't you want to kill me with your own hands?"

"I've become a cripple, I'll never be able to kill you again in this lifetime..."

"Who knows about that? What if you recover your cultivation?"

"My Dantian has been destroyed by you, how could I possibly recover my cultivation!"

"Nothing in this world is absolute. If you're willing, there's always a chance," Gao Fei said.

"You..."

"You are an elder of the Yin Yang Sect, such a grand figure, but if you end up committing suicide, it would just make you look weak, lacking in spirit."

"I..."

"If you want to die a coward, go ahead, I definitely won't stop you."

...

After being provoked by Gao Fei, Lu Sanyang was extremely angry, so angry that his hatred for Gao Fei surged boundlessly. However... the thought of suicide began to fade away in his mind...

I can't die such a pathetic death! I must live, I must seek revenge! Even if the chances are slim, I will persist, I must kill Gao Fei with my own hands!

Lu Sanyang muttered to himself internally.

Seeing Lu Sanyang frowning in silence, Gao Fei laughed; his scheme was successful. After provoking Lu Sanyang, the man no longer wanted to kill himself. Gao Fei wasn't particularly concerned about Lu Sanyang's life or death; what he cared about was the Yin Yang Sect!

If Lu Sanyang died now, the soul lamp at the Yin Yang Sect would extinguish, and the sect would immediately learn of Lu Sanyang's demise. They would certainly pursue Gao Fei with a frenzy, something Gao Fei did not wish to see.

His current strength was too weak to contend with the Yin Yang Sect.

Right now, Gao Fei's strategy was to bide his time — stall for one day at a time. When his cultivation became impressive enough to confront the Yin Yang Sect, he wouldn't need to worry about Lu Sanyang's life or death anymore.

To rapidly enhance his cultivation, he needed to absorb pure Spiritual Energy, but... the world's Spiritual Energy was too thin now. Relying on the absorption of Spiritual Energy from the heavens and earth to cultivate was too slow, too hard.

If only he had Spirit Stones and inner cores, which both contain pure Spiritual Energy, absorbing them would allow him to rapidly increase his cultivation.

But...

Spirit Stones and inner cores were rare treasures, impossible to find.

Ancient antiques and jade also contained Spiritual Energy, but those were far too scarce to compare with Spirit Stones and inner cores... However, in the current situation, Gao Fei had no choice but to opt for absorbing the Spiritual Energy of ancient antiques and jade...

After all, Gao Fei had plenty of money, and the financial pressure of buying antiques and jade wasn't too great. To put it plainly, Gao Fei was using money to cultivate immortality — a luxurious path that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to contemplate. Only a super-wealthy individual like Gao Fei would think of it.

With this in mind, Gao Fei took his cell phone out of his pocket and started making calls.

"Lu Hao, starting now, help me collect antiques, preferably ones from more ancient times. Ancient jade is also acceptable, price doesn't matter... Use all the connections you can, and gather a batch of ancient antiques and jade as soon as possible. I'll make it up to you later."

"Master Luo, I need a favor... Help me collect some ancient antiques and jade, the older the better, I want as much as you can find... Alright, thank you."

"President Shen, help me collect antiques and jade, preferably the more ancient, I'll transfer the money to you later."

...

After several calls in quick succession, Gao Fei asked his friends to assist in gathering antiques and jade. There is strength in numbers; with these friends lending a hand, the pace of collecting antiques and jade would accelerate.

Lu Sanyang watched Gao Fei with a puzzled face. What did Gao Fei want with all these antiques?

"Old guy, we're idle anyway, why don't we have a chat?" Gao Fei looked at Lu Sanyang with a smile.

Lu Sanyang turned his head away, giving Gao Fei the cold shoulder.

Gao Fei didn't mind and kept talking, "Old guy, the Yin Yang Sect must have a lot of treasures, right? If you answer my questions obediently, I'll tell you a secret, a secret technique to repair the Dantian." Gao Fei dangled the bait, waiting for Lu Sanyang to bite.

Lu Sanyang truly took the bait. He turned his head sharply, glaring at Gao Fei, "What did you say? You have a way to repair my Dantian?"

"Yes," Gao Fei nodded.

"You're not lying to me?"

"I'm not lying! It's absolutely true!"

"Swear it! Make a poisonous oath!"

"Fine, I swear. I, Gao Fei, swear to heaven that if I deceive you, may I be struck by lightning from the five skies, never to die a peaceful death."

Seeing Gao Fei take the oath, Lu Sanyang believed him a bit more. Those who cultivate immortality most dread swearing oaths, for if they go back on their word or fail to fulfill their promise, it leaves a shadow on their conscience, detrimentally affecting their cultivation.

Therefore, cultivators wouldn't swear an oath, especially a poisonous one, without being certain.

"Ask away. I'll tell you anything I can," Lu Sanyang said with a cold expression.

"The same question as before: does the Yin Yang Sect possess a lot of treasures?" Gao Fei asked.

Lu Sanyang nodded, "Yes, the Yin Yang Sect has a heritage of over a thousand years and indeed has collected many treasures. But I advise you, best not to covet the Yin Yang Sect's possessions, or you'll die a miserable death."
