The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 2155 - 2144: Shelter! Opportunity!

Night falls.

News of Ye Chenfeng refusing the offers from Xiao Yao Palace, Demonic Flame Valley, Heavenly Sword Sect, the Murongs, and the Jins had completely spread throughout Spirit Artifact City.

The Xues, the Xiaos, Sacred Demon Sect, and others who were worried about Ye Chenfeng joining major factions finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The entire Spirit Artifact City felt as if a storm was brewing.

The moonlight was bright and clear.

A silver-white moon hung in the sky.

Due to the Tianxuan Grand Ceremony, Spirit Artifact City had become a sleepless city; many cultivators had no interest in cultivating or sleeping. The five scions of Central Continent were less discussed, and many eyes were focused on Ye Chenfeng. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The back door of the Tian Shun Auction House branch.

It was extremely quiet here, with the sound of insects coming from the surrounding weeds.

Two raggedly dressed individuals staggered to the back door; one was old, and the other was young, with disheveled hair and faces covered in dust.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

One of the elders knocked laboriously on the ring of the back door.

"Creak!"

A staff member guarding the back door of the Tian Shun Auction House opened it, frowning immediately upon seeing the old and the young individuals.

The young man beside the elder said, "Please inform Brother Ye Chenfeng of our visit. We are acquaintances of his, just say old friends have come to see him."

During this time, everyone at the Tian Shun Auction House branch knew that Ye Chenfeng was a distinguished guest, even the ancestor of the Tian Shun Auction House treated him with great respect.

If it had been someone else they wanted to see, this guard might have already kicked out these two ragged individuals.

But since they wanted to see Ye Chenfeng, to be safe, the guard decided to pass the message.

"Wait here!" Closing the back door again, the guard immediately went to pass the message.

Seeing the back door closed again.

The young man weakly asked, "Grandfather, do you think Brother Ye will come to see us? Will he help us?"

The elder frowned and said, "We’ll have to see. Since we said we’re old friends, Ye Chenfeng should come out to see us."

Sure enough.

After not too long.

The back door of the Tian Shun Auction House reopened.

Ye Chenfeng emerged from inside; he looked at the two ragged figures before him, their appearances clearly seen under the silver moonlight.

Are these not the Sword God Sect disciple Qiao Chen and the Fourth Elder Qiao Songnan?

Sword God Sect was quite a prestigious force in Central Continent, back on Holy Frost Island in Spirit Continent, Qiao Chen had proactively befriended Ye Chenfeng, and it was with the Sword God Sect’s ship that Ye Chenfeng and Xue Wanqing left Holy Frost Island, where Ye Chenfeng also met Zhao Xingtu.

Qiao Chen had an extremely straightforward personality, and he genuinely wanted to befriend Ye Chenfeng back then. Qiao Songnan also admired Ye Chenfeng and even invited him to join Sword God Sect.

Since it was nighttime, Ye Chenfeng, after receiving the message, came alone and waved at the guard, saying, "Thank you, you may leave now. Indeed, these two are old friends of mine."

After the guard retreated, Ye Chenfeng immediately asked, "Elder Qiao, Brother Qiao, what happened to leave you in this state?"

Ye Chenfeng’s face grew darker as he sensed the condition of their bodies, and he asked, "Your Dantians have been destroyed? All your cultivation is gone?"

Qiao Chen, with a face full of anger, said, "Thank you, Brother Ye, for coming out to see my grandfather and me."

Ye Chenfeng waved his hand and said, "What exactly happened? When we left Holy Frost Island, Sword God Sect treated me well, and Brother Qiao also considered me a friend; otherwise, you wouldn’t be seeking me now. Tell me what happened!"

Qiao Chen remained silent, and Qiao Songnan spoke up, "Chenfeng, our Sword God Sect is a first-rate force in Central Continent, but behind our sect lies a secret that very few know."

"Heavenly Sword Sect is one of the top three first-rate forces in Central Continent, and actually, our Sword God Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect share the same origin. The founders of both sects were brothers."

"After Heavenly Sword Sect rose to power, they always wanted to annex our Sword God Sect, but we had some heritage, which allowed us to struggle on."

"However, not long ago, our Sword God Sect was completely swallowed by Heavenly Sword Sect, a fact not yet announced. There were traitors within our sect, and Heavenly Sword Sect colluded with them, leaving us powerless to resist."

"Anyone unwilling to surrender to Heavenly Sword Sect had their Dantians destroyed. My grandson and I barely managed to escape."

Ye Chenfeng’s frown deepened; he hadn’t expected such animosity between Heavenly Sword Sect and Sword God Sect. No wonder Sword God Sect didn’t send any disciples to the preliminaries of the Tianxuan Grand Ceremony.

Qiao Songnan continued, "Chenfeng, we have nowhere else to go; could you possibly offer us a temporary haven?"

Qiao Chen added, "Brother Ye, there’s no need to feel obliged; we understand our situation. Even if you refuse, we will harbor no resentment."

Ye Chenfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Why wouldn’t I agree? Helping a friend is only natural. I imagine Elder Qiao and Brother Qiao sought me out after hearing I refused Heavenly Sword Sect’s solicitations, right?"

Qiao Chen blushed and said, "Brother Ye, my grandfather and I didn’t intend this, but we must be cautious; we carry the responsibility of reviving Sword God Sect."

Ye Chenfeng chuckled, "I didn’t mean anything by it. It’s normal to be cautious. Since you’ve come to me, and I already have a grudge against Heavenly Sword Sect, I’ll help find a place for you to stay."

Seeing Ye Chenfeng genuinely agree.

Qiao Songnan hesitated, then sighed repeatedly. After some hesitance, he finally decided and said, "Chenfeng, this time, Heavenly Sword Sect likely won’t spare you either, but I heard you’re not just a Formation Master but also an Alchemist. If you can survive this ordeal, you’ll surely rise in the future."

"We’ve nowhere else to turn; would you be willing? Though Sword God Sect has been temporarily annexed by Heavenly Sword Sect, some have feigned submission, merely biding their time."

"We also have people placed in Heavenly Sword Sect. However, their operation was known only to the top echelons, preventing Sword God Sect from receiving news initially."

"With these insiders, when the time comes, we could strike Heavenly Sword Sect hard at the right moment."

This presents an unusual opportunity.

If executed correctly, it’s not impossible to bring down Heavenly Sword Sect in the future.

Ye Chenfeng asked, "Does Elder Qiao trust me that much?"

Qiao Songnan said, "I can only trust my instincts this time, and I feel that you, Chenfeng, are a reliable and loyal person."

Ye Chenfeng nodded, "Instincts can be deceived, but I, Ye Chenfeng, will never harm a friend. Elder Qiao and Brother Qiao, you can rely on me; I’ll find a way to help restore your Dantians."

Hearing this, Qiao Songnan and Qiao Chen were both overjoyed; Qiao Chen asked, "Brother Ye, can my grandfather and I truly recover?"

"There is hope, but I can’t guarantee it. Come on, let’s not stand outside," Ye Chenfeng said. Being an Eighth Grade Alchemist and with the help of Old Bai and Old Hei, helping Qiao Songnan and Qiao Chen restore their Dantians was feasible if the right materials were found.

Both Qiao Songnan and Qiao Chen were filled with gratitude at Ye Chenfeng’s words; they didn’t doubt him, for Ye Chenfeng was a miracle in their eyes—a miracle who was both a Formation Master and a Fourth-Rank Alchemist, perhaps capable of creating a miracle for them.
