The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 748 - 745: Burial

A cold moon hung in the night sky.

The occasional gust of chill wind would involuntarily make people tighten their clothing.

After hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, Ye Zhenhong and the others fell into a collective silence. They understood the determination Ye Chenfeng displayed—it matched his style of doing things. However, this was no joking matter, and they did not wish to see Ye Chenfeng adventuring alone. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

After about five minutes of heavy silence, Ye Zhenhong, seeing the resolute expression on the face of his grandson, Ye Chenfeng, sighed helplessly and said, "Chenfeng, it seems you are determined to go to the Ancient Martial World. We may stop you tonight, but what about tomorrow, the day after, or in the future? I can agree to let you go to the Ancient Martial World, but you must promise to return safely in two years."

The elder Ye compromised, touched by his grandson’s sentiment. Walking over with his withered hand extended, he heavily patted Ye Chenfeng on the shoulder and said, "No scions of the Ye family are cowards. Chenfeng, I have witnessed countless miracles in you. Although I really do not wish for you to take risks, I respect your decision and believe that you can create miracles once again."

"Grandfather, thank you for respecting my decision," Ye Chenfeng replied, attempting to lighten the mood with a smile, then added, "Everyone, please be at ease. I, Ye Chenfeng, am not ready to die so easily. Besides, with so many people here waiting for me, how could I bear to die?"

Since the elder Ye had made his decision, and Ye Chenfeng persisted in his own, what could the others say? Just as the elder Ye had said, one can stop a man temporarily, but not for a lifetime. Should everyone here watch over Ye Chenfeng every second of his life?

"Chenfeng, you’ve grown up. I won’t say much else, just take care of yourself," Ye Donghua said casually though his furrowed brows betrayed his true feelings.

"Chenfeng, what do top-tier forces count for! I’ve always believed you’re the toughest, most dashing man in the whole world. I await your safe return after you’ve conquered the Ancient Martial World," Ye Dongjian spoke with a laugh, though worry tinged his smile.

"Chenfeng, you’ve been disobedient since you were little. If you do not return safely in two years, I won’t be able to go on living," tears started to well in Sun Meiqin’s eyes and fell uncontrollably.

"Boss, I..."

Qin Yi was about to speak but Ye Chenfeng interrupted him, "Enough, I know you want to accompany me to the Ancient Martial World, but following me won’t be any help. There’s some money in this bank card, buy a house in the Capital City, and you and your wife can settle down peacefully."

Ye Chenfeng handed the bank card to Qin Yi, then continued, "However, Qin Yi, make sure to wait for me to come back before you hold your wedding! I must have a drink at your celebration."

"Boss, my wedding wouldn’t be complete without you. I’ll wait for you to come back," Qin Yi didn’t say much more.

...

After taking turns with their admonitions, Ye Chenfeng’s gaze finally rested on Wu Xiaofei, Han Chuxue, and the other seven women. He feigned a relaxed smile and said, "I’m sorry, I, Ye Chenfeng, owe you all too much. Once this matter is settled, I promise to be by your side. Wait for me to return."

"Chenfeng, we’ll wait for you," the seven women said in unison. Although they longed to accompany Ye Chenfeng in his adventure, they knew they would only be a burden to him.

...

Two days later.

Ye Chenfeng’s figure appeared at the location of the Barrier that led to the Ancient Martial World. During the farewells two days earlier, Ye Chenfeng had maintained a relaxed facade, but he had no confidence in his heart about the upcoming endeavor. After all, his current strength of Peak-Grade Soul Force was only equivalent to an Innate Peak master’s. Within the Tianshan Sect, a top-tier force, there existed practitioners of the Sky-breaking Realm. Therefore, improving his strength was an urgent priority for Ye Chenfeng.

Wu Xiaofei pressed his palm onto the grass, and as an unending stream of Soul Force was infused, a white light screen immediately appeared not far ahead. With several experiences under his belt, Ye Chenfeng no longer harbored curiosity towards the Barrier gate and walked through it with practiced ease, entering the Ancient Martial World.

The Ancient Martial World was currently shrouded in night, the sky sprinkled with a multitude of stars.

Ye Chenfeng did not yet know whether the people from Tianshan Sect had remained in the vicinity or had returned to their top-tier forces. After entering the Ancient Martial World, he immediately dashed towards the direction of the Tianshan Sect.

All along this journey, Ye Chenfeng pushed his speed to the limit while being extremely cautious of every rustling wind and stirring blade of grass.

Several hours later.

Ye Chenfeng arrived smoothly at a small mountain peak next to the Tianshan Sect. After observing for two days and noticing that not a single person showed up at Tianshan Sect during this time, he left the small mountain peak on the third evening and headed straight for the Training Ground of the Tianshan Sect.

Upon arrival, he saw the Training Ground littered with the corpses of Tianshan Sect disciples. The blood stains on the ground had yet to fully evaporate, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

A surge of anger rose within Ye Chenfeng, causing a burning sensation in his chest, and the black mass of energy within his Dantian began to stir restlessly. Noticing this, Ye Chenfeng immediately adjusted his breathing to control his emotions from erupting and murmured softly, "Don’t worry, I will avenge you. I will make Tianshan Sect pay a price tenfold, a hundredfold, even a thousand times over."

Ye Chenfeng clenched his teeth tightly in his mouth. He couldn’t let the deceased disciples of the Tianshan Sect be without a final resting place, so he set aside the fetid stench of the corpses to carry each one from the Training Ground and inside the Tianshan Sect to the back mountain.

Then, using Soul Force, he smashed the ground creating one deep pit after another, burying all the corpses. Completing these tasks took him a full three days.

In those three days, Ye Chenfeng nearly exhausted his Soul Force daily before ceasing his work. His face and body were completely soaked in blood, as if he had just taken a bath in blood.

After burying the corpses of the Tianshan Sect disciples, Ye Chenfeng approached the vicinity of the Ghost Doctor Sect. Similarly observing for two days, and finding no one in the Ghost Doctor Sect, he then stepped onto their Training Ground.

On the Training Ground of the Ghost Doctor Sect, Ye Chenfeng recognized three familiar bodies. The three elders, including Tang Bosheng, the Three Saints of the Ghost Doctor Sect, had their throats pierced through by a sword. Remembering the time when these three elders had consulted him on Medical Skills, his breathing became more labored, his chest heaving intensely.

With his hatred for the Tianshan Sect growing more intense, he managed to forcefully suppress the fury inside him and started to handle the corpses of the Ghost Doctor Sect disciples. Similarly, he transported all the corpses to the back mountain of the Ghost Doctor Sect and buried them with care.

After dealing with the bodies of the disciples from both Tianshan Sect and Ghost Doctor Sect, six days had passed. Ye Chenfeng sat on a large boulder on the back mountain of the Ghost Doctor Sect. The bloodstains on his body were even more numerous, so much that his original appearance was completely obscured.

Ye Chenfeng didn’t mind the sticky blood on his body at all. He rested his head on his hands, as if talking to himself or perhaps addressing the air. His sinister voice spread through the night, "You’ve been following me for six days now. Aren’t you going to show yourself?"

Ever since the first day he buried the corpses of the Tianshan Sect disciples, Ye Chenfeng had felt someone watching him. However, he sensed no malice from the watcher, and deduced that their strength was at most at the Profound Rank, so Ye Chenfeng had simply ignored them for the time being. Now, with the bodies taken care of, he was curious to see who had been following him for six days.

Ye Chenfeng had been holding onto a certain fury these past few days and had not found a way to vent it. If the follower turned out to be from Tianshan Sect, he wouldn’t mind dismembering them.

Five or six seconds after Ye Chenfeng’s words fell silent, a figure indeed emerged from the darkness in the distance. As the figure approached, Ye Chenfeng was somewhat surprised, for it was a woman, one he had never met before, yet whose aura he found vaguely familiar.
