The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1354 - 1345: Situation! Hunting Operation!

"Hoo!"

Ye Chenfeng slowly exhaled a breath of impure air. The momentum of the Ocean Gathering Realm, Second Heavenly Layer, Initial Stage emanating from him instantly retracted back into his body the moment he opened his eyes.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground paved with High Grade Spirit Stones, Ye Chenfeng felt the more turbulent Spiritual Qi River in his meridians. His brows furrowed involuntarily as he recalled the surge of energy from Hua Yangbai’s corpse pouring into his body. After fully integrating this energy, Ye Chenfeng directly broke through from the late stage of the first layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm to the initial stage of the second layer.

Such a bizarre occurrence left Ye Chenfeng puzzled, unable to understand why the rich energy from Hua Yangbai’s corpse would voluntarily flow into his body.

However, as Ye Chenfeng racked his brains, the voice of the White Shadow Person, Wu Fengxian, rang out: "Young fellow, the Heaven and Earth Laws in this ruin are incredibly strange. Based on what just happened to you, if my guess is correct, when you kill others in this ruin, half of their energy will flow into you, while the other half will be absorbed by the Heaven and Earth Laws here."

"That person just now had strength at the Peak of the Second Heavenly Layer in the Ocean Gathering Realm, so his energy enabled your breakthrough by two minor stages, which isn’t surprising at all."

"Old Bai, according to you, if I kill other people entering the ruin next time, half of their energy will still flow into my body?" Upon hearing the White Shadow Person, Wu Fengxian’s guess, Ye Chenfeng’s heartbeat hastened slightly. If the White Shadow Person’s conjecture was correct, even if there was no fortuitous encounter in this ruin, just from its unique Heaven and Earth Laws, he could madly enhance his strength here. After all, there were ninety-five people who entered the ruin this time.

Of course, Ye Chenfeng isn’t a bloodthirsty demon who kills indiscriminately. However, the terrifying Heaven and Earth Laws of this ruin will be discovered by others sooner or later, and by then if others make a move on Ye Chenfeng, he certainly won’t show mercy.

Considering even the weakest person who entered the ruin this time was at the first layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm, if Ye Chenfeng managed to deal with half of them, it seemed likely he could break through to the Divine Thought Realm.

"Cough, cough!" The White Shadow Person coughed unnaturally twice upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s way of addressing him and said, "Young fellow, can you change the way you address me? Also, I know your thoughts. The Heaven and Earth Laws here indeed offer great assistance to you, but I always feel there’s something very strange about this place, so it’s best to be cautious."

In response, the voice of the Black Shadow Person, Jiang Yuntian, also chimed in: "Kid, I also have a very bad feeling. This place gives me a very familiar feeling, even making me vaguely uneasy."

The White Shadow Person, Wu Fengxian, added: "So you feel it too! This means I’m not just being paranoid. Ever since entering this ruin, my remaining soul has been trembling, this unease penetrates deep into my spirit."

Ye Chenfeng heard both the White Shadow Person and Black Shadow Person expressing their concerns, and he knew that in their past lives, they must have been incredibly powerful beings. The fact that even they expressed such sentiments made Ye Chenfeng put away his joyous feelings.

Perhaps sensing Ye Chenfeng’s change in mood, the White Shadow Person Wu Fengxian continued: "Young fellow, since you’ve come, you might as well remain calm. No need to worry too much, just stay vigilant at all times. With the two of us secretly assisting you, even if you find yourself in peril, we’ll have a way to get you out of danger."

The Black Shadow Person, Jiang Yuntian, immediately agreed, saying: "Right, kid, just now we were overthinking it. This ruin is practically tailored for you. You can use the unique Heaven and Earth Laws here to rapidly enhance your strength, and from this perspective, rescuing that little girl from the Yinming Sect shouldn’t take too long."

"However, there are many who entered the ruin this time with strength surpassing yours. While you have thoughts of hunting others, others might also view you as prey, so you must be cautious and prudent in your actions."

Ye Chenfeng fully agreed with the Black Shadow Person, Jiang Yuntian’s words. In the two days he spent outside with Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan, Ye Chenfeng got a preliminary understanding of the approximate strength of the five sects that entered the ruin. He knew each sect had arranged two experts at the initial stage of the Divine Thought Realm as leaders.

Take the Fourth-Rank Sect, the Shuis, for example, the leaders were Shui Ziyan and Jiang Junqian. Shui Ziyan had suppressed her original strength from the initial stage of the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Divine Thought Realm to the initial stage of the First Heavenly Layer because she couldn’t fully control the blue bead capable of suppressing power. Therefore, she could only suppress her strength lower rather than control it at mid-stage or late-stage of the First Heavenly Layer. So, among the disciples of the Shuis entering the ruin, seemingly Jiang Junqian, with strength at the late stage of the First Heavenly Layer, was the strongest.

As for the remaining three sects, besides the Shuis being a Fourth-Rank Sect, Wanyue Pavilion is also a Fourth-Rank Sect. The two leaders from Wanyue Pavilion entering the ruin were a male and a female, the male named Liang Zuoyi had strength at the late stage of the First Heavenly Layer, while the female named Su Bingshuan was mid-stage of the First Heavenly Layer.

Wanyue Pavilion is a very special sect, as it has two Sect Masters who are a couple. The male Sect Master manages the male disciples of Wanyue Pavilion, while the female Sect Master manages the female disciples.

As for the remaining three sects, they are all Fifth-Rank Sects. The two leaders of the Yinming Sect are Song Chunmei’s disciple Jiang Motian and Wang Qian, whom Ye Chenfeng saw in the Heifeng Mountain Range the other day. The former is at the initial stage of the First Heavenly Layer, while the latter is at the late stage of the First Heavenly Layer.

The Fifth-Rank Sect Hanbing Sect bears particular affinity with Ye Chenfeng. If Ye Chenfeng hadn’t been imprisoned in the Ice Holy Land, he wouldn’t have comprehended the Frosty Sword Intent, nor would he have tamed the Nine Nether Ice Lion, Little Bai. However, this time, the Sect Master’s daughter, Ning Xuening, also entered the ruin, but her strength wasn’t enough to qualify as a leader of Hanbing Sect.

The two leaders of the Hanbing Sect are Ning Xuesong and Tian Guangcai. Ning Xuesong is the adopted son of the Sect Master of Hanbing Sect, and his strength is at the late stage of the First Heavenly Layer, while Tian Guangcai is at the initial stage of the First Heavenly Layer.

Lastly, the Myriad Beast Sect stands out as somewhat special among the five sects because it practices cultivation techniques focusing on controlling demon beasts. Generally, each disciple of the Myriad Beast Sect accompanies a beast they grow with, and the coordination between person and beast is extremely seamless. Hence, the combat prowess of Myriad Beast Sect disciples is remarkably formidable.

The two leaders of the Myriad Beast Sect are Ji Gao and Ji Yun, two biological brothers whose strength is midway through the First Heavenly Layer. Judging by the leaders of the five sects entering the ruin, they appear to be the weakest, yet Ji Gao and Ji Yun’s combat power definitely rivals experts at the late stage of the First Heavenly Layer.

This information about the major sects was gleaned by Ye Chenfeng from Shui Ziyan, who also mentioned that the leaders in these major sects possess abilities capable of challenging opponents beyond their rank.

Regarding the twenty loose cultivators who entered the ruin, even Shui Ziyan wasn’t very clear about their situation. Shui Ziyan didn’t know if there were experts among the twenty loose cultivators. novelbuddy-cσ๓

After analyzing the strength of the five sects, Ye Chenfeng decided not to consider the Shuis for the moment. After all, Ye Chenfeng maintained a very good relationship with Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan, so unless the Shuis’ disciples acted excessively, Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t target them.

As for Hua Yangbai, who Ye Chenfeng just dealt with, he indeed deserved his fate for attacking Ye Chenfeng. Ye Chenfeng naturally wouldn’t be a kind-hearted fool to those trying to humiliate him and readily solved them without mercy.

"It seems I should carefully plan a hunting operation. With my current strength, it’d be best to target those beneath the Peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm first." Ye Chenfeng murmured, a smile involuntarily curling at his lips, as if he could already foresee his strength skyrocketing like a rocket in the near future.
