Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 14 Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

The ruddy-faced, plump Taoist priest looked thoughtful. He watched Qi Zhe acquire treasures here and had originally intended to ambush him, but now he had to abandon that idea.

"The disciples of Yaoguang are tricky, not as easy to fool as that kid just now," Duan De muttered to himself with a smug smile, unable to resist rubbing the dagger in his hand, feeling that he was having a lucky day.

He had tricked Ye Fan out of the jade-like dagger; it was so easy to grab it without any effort, which infuriated Ye Fan.

Unscrupulous as he is, he is adept at swindling people out of their treasures, without a shred of conscience whatsoever.

After Qi Zhe finished looting the spoils, he turned to look into the distance and saw Duan De looking around. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "When did he arrive?"

A ruddy-faced, fat Taoist priest peered around, his lecherous expression revealing his unscrupulous nature. Qi Zhe recognized him at a glance as the despicable Duan De.

Qi Zhe knew exactly what kind of person this guy was. He was the type to dig up people's ancestral graves at the slightest provocation. If an ordinary person provoked him, their ancestral graves would likely be in danger.

However, Qi Zhe was not worried. He was an independent person and he figured Duan De couldn't reach him.

However, upon thinking about it, Qi Zhe suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but suspect that this guy might have been after him, since he had gained something from this place.

With a "whoosh," at that very moment, another streak of crimson light flashed across the sky, flying straight toward a distant mountain peak.

The ray of light drew an astonishing arc, disappearing directly into the mountaintop. Before long, the amazing light faded away and vanished into the night.

Qi Zhe naturally noticed the commotion and exclaimed, "Another spirit weapon!"

The commotion just now must have been caused by another spirit weapon, and judging from its direction, Qi Zhe realized that it was the location of Ye Fan, who had recently returned. He suddenly understood.

"Hahaha!" Duan De grinned from ear to ear as another spirit weapon descended, and chased after the crimson glow.

As Qi Zhe watched him leave, his expression became somewhat strange. He suddenly remembered when Ye Fan was a novice, Duan De had stolen his treasures three times in a row, which made him hold a grudge for a long time.

"What you sow today will bear fruit tomorrow; these two are really going back and forth!"

Qi Zhe's mind was racing. He imagined Ye Fan knocking Duan De unconscious with a single blow, leaving him only in his underwear. He couldn't help but smile. The next moment, Qi Zhe set off to see Ye Fan's predicament.

The laughter of the fat Taoist Duan De carried far. Upon hearing of his arrival, Ye Fan covered the rosy pearl with his hand, turned around, and looked extremely ugly.

"It seems we are destined to meet again, young friend! I didn't expect to see you again so soon!" Duan De smiled broadly, his wide grin leaving Ye Fan speechless and unsure how to respond.

Duan De stopped Ye Fan, extended his fat hand, and said with a smile, "This treasure is destined for me, young friend, please lend it to me."

Ye Fan was furious upon hearing this. This fat Taoist priest was really going too far. If he hadn't been unable to beat him, he would have already fought him. Unfortunately, he was simply outmatched.

He could only clutch the precious pearl and back away, angrily saying, "Daoist Master, you're bullying me too much! You've already taken one of my spiritual weapons, I can't give you this one!"

But given Duan De's ruthlessness, how could he give up so easily? He launched into a long speech, spouting off that these magical weapons were all transformed from demons, and that keeping them would bring misfortune, and that he was willing to suppress the demons with his own body.

Finally, he reached out and snatched the pearl from Ye Fan's hand from a distance, making Ye Fan's face turn red with anger.

"Amitabha! Young friend, we shall meet again someday. This humble Taoist is off!" Duan De, having obtained another treasure, was now beaming with joy. He transformed into a divine rainbow and vanished in the blink of an eye. "This is utterly despicable! Isn't this bullying an honest man?!" Qi Zhe, witnessing all this, grinned from ear to ear. He had already walked up to Ye Fan and said indignantly.

Ye Fan nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, deeply agreeing with the sentiment. Ignoring Qi Zhe's reappearance, he muttered under his breath, "That fat bastard, I never want to see him again!"

"I curse him to be robbed as soon as he steps out the door, to be spotless, to have his Taoist robe and everything else stolen, not even his underwear left!"

Ye Fan was so angry he had nowhere to vent, so he sat on a rock and kept stomping his feet, cursing under his breath, which made Qi Zhe laugh uncontrollably.

It took Ye Fan a while to calm down. Looking at Qi Zhe who had reappeared, he was puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Which family's disciple are you? Why are you here again?"

He was very curious about Qi Zhe, simply because the two seemed to have a special connection, as they were able to meet again in the primitive ruins.

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe revealed a mysterious smile, then suddenly turned his head and pointed into the distance, where another purple glow was flying towards the mountain, startling Ye Fan so much that he abruptly stood up from the rocks.

"Why are there more treasures flying in?!" Ye Fan was full of questions. The mountain he was on was very unusual. Three spiritual treasures had flown in one after another, and the one in the purple cloud was the third one.

Ye Fan already sensed something was wrong and dared not make a move as the treasure flew towards him. Qi Zhe, seeing this, also remained still, letting the purple light crash into the mountain wall.

"Hmm?" After waiting for a long time, Ye Fan saw that Qi Zhe had not made any move, so he couldn't help but walk to the front of the mountain wall and prepare to dig it open to take out the treasure inside.

Upon seeing this, Qi Zhe suddenly spoke up: "I bet if you take out this treasure, that fatso will definitely reappear!"

Qi Zhe was certain that Duan De was nearby and would appear as soon as Ye Fan took out the treasure. Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's expression changed, and he couldn't help but retort, "Impossible! It's been so long, that guy might have already gone far away!"

As he spoke, Ye Fan used his divine power to carve open the mountain wall and took out a ring that glowed with purple light. The light even made Ye Fan's palm translucent, which made him look happy.

"Haha, I knew it! There's no way he could be here!" Ye Fan held the ring, a look of satisfaction on his face.

But he miscalculated in the end. At this moment, Duan De suddenly appeared out of nowhere and shouted in mid-air, "This humble Taoist has arrived! It seems we are indeed destined to meet!"

Ye Fan's joy vanished instantly, and he couldn't help but curse, "I'm suing!"

He felt that there was something wrong with this fat guy. He kept taking advantage of him, and every time he made a small profit, he would show up. He was really despicable and not even human.

"What kind of fate do we have? I'd give this ring to anyone but you!" Ye Fan shouted, casually tossing the ring at Qi Zhe, who couldn't help but exclaim, "You black-hearted Ye!"

Qi Zhe caught the ring mid-air. Although he had no intention of fighting for it, now that he had it in his hands, there was no reason for him to give it up.

Duan De paused upon seeing this, then looked at the ring in Qi Zhe's hand with a strange expression, and couldn't help but say, "Young friend, why did you do this? It was originally a good deed between us, how did it end up in someone else's hands!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe's lips curled into a smirk, thinking to himself, "This guy's skin is really thick!"
However, he was too lazy to waste words with Duan De and said directly, "Master Duan has traveled the Eastern Wilderness for many years and has seen a lot. He must have already seen the unusual nature of this cliff, right?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Duan De's expression changed, and he couldn't help but stare intently at the mountain wall, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.

I'll take anything, anything at all.
