Sister-in-law: I’m really not a fool anymore

"No! Elder Chen, don't listen to that old man's nonsense... he's lying to you..."

Hearing Su Mu's words, Yu Bo was terrified and frantically tried to persuade Chen Feng! He was terrified that Chen Feng might impulsively kill him.

This elder of the Soul Palace is at least a fifth-grade Nascent Soul cultivator, and with so many powerful figures around him, killing Bo wouldn't be difficult for him.

Chen Feng gave Yu Bo a disdainful look, then turned to Su Mu and said, "Sect Leader Su, I do have the sincerity to cooperate! But I'm not stupid... Yu Bo is right here, and everyone here is my man. He can't escape. If Sect Leader Su wants to cooperate, he should at least show some sincerity, right?"

As an elder promoted by Qiu Qianren, Chen Feng is quite intelligent and resourceful!
Killing Yu Bo was an easy task, but once a person is killed, they cannot be brought back to life.

The people of the Soul Hall can indeed temporarily control the headquarters of the Bright Moon Pavilion, but the Bright Moon Pavilion is a huge sect!
It's simply impossible for the Soul Palace to maintain direct control in the long term.

So if Su Mu doesn't cooperate, that bastard will still need to rely on Yu Bo if he wants to control Mingyue Pavilion!

Before it is finalized whether Su Mu will agree to cooperate, Yu Bo cannot be killed easily.

"Then there's no point in talking! Let's fight to the death!" Su Mu said resolutely. "Anyway, things have come to this point, I have nothing left to lose! You've already killed my daughter, what am I afraid of? At worst, I'll just take the refining technology to hell with me!"

Su Mu turned to look at the dozen or so loyal subordinates beside him, "It's just that you've suffered! In the next life, let's be brothers again!"

Chen Feng frowned; the resoluteness Su Mu displayed was somewhat beyond his expectations.

The Soul Palace went to great lengths for the crystal ore refining technology of the Bright Moon Pavilion. What use is occupying an empty shell of the Bright Moon Pavilion if they cannot obtain this core technology?

Any sacrifices made along the way are worthwhile for this goal!
Chen Feng frowned, still pondering how to make Su Mu give in.

Seeing that Chen Feng and Su Mu hadn't reached an agreement, Yu Bo breathed a sigh of relief. "Old man! Don't think you're the only one who knows that refining technique. I've been secretly recording every time you've done it... Even without you, I could have completed the refining..."

Yu Bo's purpose in saying these things was simple: he wanted to prove his worth to the Soul Palace.

Tell Chen Feng that even if Su Mu dies, he can still refine crystal ore.

However, before taking action, the Soul Palace had thoroughly investigated everything concerning the Bright Moon Pavilion.

Yu Bo can indeed refine crystal ore... but the purity of the refined ore is less than 50%, and what he produces is nothing like crystal coins, it's practically scrap!
Moreover, the toxic components and violent factors in the crystal ore cannot be removed at all... Crystal coins cannot be used directly for cultivation.

What's the use of refining it like this?

Moreover, this simple filtration and combustion method can be done by almost any sect.

But in the end, why did all the sects in the entire Southern Continent of the Immortal Realm ask Mingyue Pavilion to refine their crystal mines?

Yu Bo certainly didn't master the key core technologies and principles involved.

"Since Pavilion Master Su insists, then let's show our sincerity!"

As Chen Feng spoke, he gestured to his two subordinates beside him.

Two powerful Soul Hall experts, one on the left and one on the right, swiftly grabbed Yu Bo's arms. *Thud!*

Chen Feng decisively swung his battle blade and severed Yu Bo's arm!
"Damn it, Chen Feng... you actually attacked me... you're kicking me while I'm down..."

Yu Bo stared in shock at the scene before him, angrily trying to jump up on the spot, but was held down firmly by the two Nascent Soul experts beside him, unable to move at all.

Yu Bo was surrounded by a group of other direct subordinates who, upon seeing the Grand Elder being attacked and killed, each wanted to take action!
But to their surprise, before they could even move, each of them had at least two Soul Hall experts pressing their swords against their waists.

"Don't move! Be a good girl and everything will be fine... Otherwise, you'll face the consequences..."

Only then did everyone realize that a large portion of the powerful figures who appeared to be attached to Elder Yu Bo were actually controlled by the Soul Palace!

What the hell is that?
Chen Feng ignored Yu Bo and turned to Su Mu with a smile, "Sect Leader Su, now you see my sincerity, right? I've given you an arm, surely you should reciprocate?"

Su Mu's facial muscles twitched twice, and he was shocked by the ruthlessness of the Soul Palace's experts.

These guys, when they get going, they really don't care about anyone, not even their own family!

"Sure... I can give you a list of materials... but if you want more information, you'll need to offer more..."

A wicked smile appeared on Su Mu's lips as he tossed a list toward Chen Feng.

Both sides are testing the waters!

Chen Feng took the materials list in his hand and looked at it. There was nothing wrong with the materials list. It was indeed similar to the list of materials that the Soul Hall had stolen from other crystal mining families before!
These are the core secrets of the extraction process, but they are still not the most important!
Because of these, with a little effort, it's still possible to obtain them through intelligence. The most crucial materials, Su Mu definitely didn't tell us… Moreover, he didn't tell us how to combine these materials on the list, or the correct quantities!
Su Mu appeared to have given a list, but in reality, it was just a piece of waste paper!
"Sect Leader Su, your sincerity is lacking! This list doesn't prove anything, does it?" Chen Feng suppressed his anger and stared intently at Su Mu.

Su Mu remained calm, for he was prepared to die, which made him fearless!
"Excuse me! Yu Bo's arm is only worth this much... He's the murderer who killed my daughter. Do you think I'll tell you the core secret unless you show me something that satisfies me?"

Chen Feng's facial muscles twitched violently a few times!

Now that Ye Fan has taken away the treasure vault, the Soul Palace is extremely short of internal cultivation resources, and its need for crystal ore is becoming increasingly urgent.

The crux of the problem is that even if the Soul Palace seizes some crystal mines, they still cannot use them because they lack the refining technology.

Therefore, we must obtain crystal ore refining technology no matter what!
"Yu Bo, for the sake of the Soul Palace's development... I won't let you die in vain..."

A dark look flashed across Chen Feng's face, and he suddenly brandished his battle knife, stabbing it into Yu Bo's chest!

"I'll borrow your life!"

Chen Feng has decided to completely sacrifice Yu Bo in exchange for a chance for Su Mu to reveal his secrets!
If Su Mu doesn't confess, then we can only use the Soul Palace's special methods. As long as Su Mu is still alive, we can use the soul-searching method to get the refining technology from Su Mu!
"You son of a bitch, Chen Feng, you actually laid a hand on me, you bastard..."

hum!
Yu Bo also had a backup plan. Seeing that Chen Feng was really going all out, he unleashed all his mental power in an instant, which actually sent the two Nascent Soul experts next to him flying!
"In that case, none of them should live!" (End of Chapter)
