The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 791 - 787 Burn! Blaze a Trail of Hope!

After Ye Chenfeng concocted the supreme quality Bone-Dissolving Powder, today’s Myriad Poison Sect disciple selection contest also officially concluded. Sect Leader Kang Baiyin instructed the disciples present to disperse and said to Ye Chenfeng with a smile, "Young brother, rest for a while in the grand hall of the Myriad Poison Sect, and leave the misunderstanding between you and the Tianshan Sect to me to resolve."

Immediately after, Kang Baiyin addressed two elderly men in their sixties or seventies, saying, "Second Elder, Third Elder, please keep this young brother good company."

"Yes, Sect Leader." The two old men answered without hesitation. They were the Myriad Poison Sect’s Second Elder Cheng Xinglong and Third Elder Lin Xiayun, whose strengths had reached the Peak and Initial Stage of Sky-Breaking, respectively.

After gauging the strength of these two old men, Ye Chenfeng half-jokingly asked Kang Baiyin, "Sect Leader Kang, you wouldn’t be having the two Elders keep watch over me, would you?"

"Hehe!" Kang Baiyin chuckled dryly in his throat, not expecting Ye Chenfeng to speak so bluntly, and said, "Young brother, I think you’re overthinking it. Why would I have someone watch you?"

"Since young brother you don’t like it, then I’ll have the Second and Third Elder guard outside the grand hall! That way, they can also protect your safety in a timely manner."

Kang Baiyin indeed harbored the intention of keeping an eye on Ye Chenfeng, but now that Ye Chenfeng had brought attention to it, Kang Baiyin could only step back. Having Cheng Xinglong and Lin Xiayun guard the entrance of the grand hall was just the same; as long as they didn’t let Ye Chenfeng escape the Myriad Poison Sect, it would suffice.

Kang Baiyin casually called over two disciples from his sect to accompany Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining in the grand hall of the Myriad Poison Sect. He didn’t give the two disciples any special instructions; with the Second and Third Elder outside, nothing unexpected could happen. Even if something did occur, with the presence of the Second and Third Elder, Kang Baiyin and the others could arrive on the scene immediately.

After arranging things for Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining, Kang Baiyin, along with Yuan Fengyang, led Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi towards the back of the grand hall. Ye Chenfeng glanced outside the grand hall and noticed that the Myriad Poison Sect’s Second and Third Elders didn’t stand directly at the entrance but instead each took positions on the left and right sides of the hall exterior, which meant their line of sight didn’t include the interior of the grand hall.

"Aiyo! Aiyo!" Ye Chenfeng suddenly clutched his stomach, making painful noises, and asked the two disciples inside the grand hall, "Could you please tell me where your sect’s latrine is? My stomach suddenly hurts terribly; I might have eaten something bad."

The two Myriad Poison Sect disciples, having witnessed Ye Chenfeng’s talent in concocting poison, believed that Ye Chenfeng would have smooth sailing in the sect in the future. It was certainly right to get on good terms with Ye Chenfeng early, so one of the disciples, dressed in white, said, "In the future, we’re all disciples from the same sect. I’ll take you to our Myriad Poison Sect’s latrine, brother."

Ye Chenfeng quickly nodded, saying, "Good, good, good, let’s go immediately; I can hardly hold it in."

Before leaving the grand hall, Ye Chenfeng turned to Xia Zining and said, "Wife, you wait here for me for a bit; I’ll be right back."

"Brother, don’t worry, with me here your wife will be fine," the other disciple, dressed in black, assured as he thumped his chest.

Two to three minutes later.

Ye Chenfeng emerged from behind a rockery at the back of the Myriad Poison Sect’s grand hall, and the disciple in black who had led him was now unconscious behind the rockery.

Luckily, the Myriad Poison Sect’s disciple selection had just ended, and most disciples were busy tidying up the outside area. Hence, there were hardly any people inside the Myriad Poison Sect. After knocking out the disciple in black, Ye Chenfeng headed straight for the central area of the Myriad Poison Sect. He knew that the living quarters of a sect leader were usually situated at the very center of the sect. He had been in contact with the Ancient Martial World for some time now and had grown very familiar with many aspects of it.

Indeed, as Ye Chenfeng avoided a few Myriad Poison Sect disciples and reached the central area of the sect, the first thing that caught his eye was a very unique courtyard with a house situated in it. The windows of the house were open, and through them, Ye Chenfeng could see Kang Baiyin and the others.

Ye Chenfeng carefully initiated the Turtle Breathing Technique within his body, and soon he almost merged with the air around him, blending invisibly into the environment. His figure slowly approached the house situated in the yard until he could hear the conversation inside. Only then did he stop and hide his form behind a large tree in the yard. freewebnøvel_com

"Sect Leader Kang, what exactly do you plan to do? Ye Chenfeng is not only our Tianshan Sect’s sworn enemy, he also killed the young sect master of the Yun Tian Sect, a first-class power. The people of the Yun Tian Sect will certainly not let him go. Are you truly intending to protect this kid?" The second Elder of the Tianshan Sect, Lu Douwen, shouted hoarsely.

"Elder Lu, please calm your anger. Our Myriad Poison Sect, of course, has no intention to protect the kid," Kang Baiyin said with a forced smile, seemingly believing that Ye Chenfeng’s life was of no consequence. "However, the formula for the Bone-Dissolving Powder that this kid holds is too enticing. Our Myriad Poison Sect must obtain it. So, I ask both of you to wait just one more day. We have many poisons that can make a person speak against their will. Once we extract the Bone-Dissolving Powder formula from the kid, his life or death will no longer be any of our concern."

When Kang Baiyin mentioned the Bone-Dissolving Powder formulated by Ye Chenfeng, both Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi’s eyes suddenly brightened. They had personally witnessed the formidable potency of the powder—a truly essential tool for saving one’s life or for a surprise attack!

Thus, Lu Douwen and Yu Qianshi exchanged a quick glance and then nodded to each other. It was now Yu Qianshi’s turn to speak, "We can wait another day. After you obtain the Bone-Dissolving Powder formula from Ye Chenfeng, it must be shared with our Tianshan Sect."

...

In the yard, Ye Chenfeng, hidden behind the large tree, listened clearly to the conversation inside the house. He did not expect that he had unknowingly offended another first-class power and killed their young sect master? After a brief reflection, Ye Chenfeng confirmed that the youth he had last killed at the Tianshan Sect must have been the young sect master of the Yun Tian Sect, as mentioned by Lu Douwen.

Having covertly learned of the intentions of Kang Baiyin and the others, Ye Chenfeng once again slipped away from the yard unnoticed. He became even more certain that he had to leave the Myriad Poison Sect immediately, but how? He was still within the territory of the Myriad Poison Sect.

As Ye Chenfeng headed toward the grand hall of the Myriad Poison Sect, he pondered over possible escape strategies. He suddenly noticed two Innate Realm disciples guarding the entrance to a two-story building, which also bore a signboard with the big characters "Treasure Trove."

"I got it. The only way out is to create chaos within the Myriad Poison Sect so I can seize the opportunity to leave with Xia Zining. If the place called Treasure Trove has two Innate Realm disciples as guards, then it must be highly critical to the Myriad Poison Sect. If it suddenly caught fire, I reckon the Myriad Poison Sect would be too preoccupied to bother about me," Ye Chenfeng thought to himself.

Time was of the essence for Ye Chenfeng. He glanced around and noticed no one else besides the two disciples guarding the Treasure Trove. There was no better time to act than now.

Immediately, Ye Chenfeng deployed the Storm Step Technique; before the guarding disciples could even react, they were knocked unconscious. Innate Realm experts were no match for him—it took him mere seconds to deal with them.

After knocking out the two disciples, Ye Chenfeng pushed open the door to the Treasure Trove and entered. Inside, he found many precious herbs and numerous cultivation tomes, justifying the building’s name.

The precious medicinal ingredients were neatly arranged by category. Having personally witnessed the might of the Bone-Dissolving Powder, Ye Chenfeng spotted all the necessary ingredients for its formulation here. He took off his clothes, grabbed some of the ingredients, and wrapped them up in a makeshift bundle.

After collecting the Bone-Dissolving Powder ingredients, Ye Chenfeng pulled a lighter out of his pocket. Just as he was about to light it, his gaze was drawn to a corner where a box was placed, with a label bearing the words "Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass."

Ye Chenfeng’s heart skipped a few beats with excitement, but he knew this was no time to dally. He quickly picked up the box, opened it, and found three stems of Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass, each leaf lush and green, showing no signs of wilting. He quickly stashed the box in his chest, astonished to have found Three Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass stems at the Myriad Poison Sect.

No time left for joy, every extra minute posed a higher risk for him and Xia Zining. He tossed the lit lighter onto the tomes, and they quickly caught fire. Watching the flames grow fiercer, Ye Chenfeng immediately left the Treasure Trove and hurried towards the grand hall of the Myriad Poison Sect. (To be continued.
