On our wedding day, I castrated my fiancée's white moonlight.

Two hours later, above the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Wang Teng, this is the end of it!"

One of the elders, calmly reminding everyone, "Take one more step, and you'll cross the line!"

Wang Teng roared, "The hatred for killing my father and brother is right before my eyes! You want me to stop?"

Two elders, transmitting the practice, chanted a calming mantra: "Let go of attachments, let your thoughts be clear!"

"If you don't relinquish your obsession and your bloodlust remains too strong, even after becoming a core figure in the Holy Land, what will become of the people?"

"Ye Fan is nothing but a worldly Prince of Zhenbei! An insignificant figure, not worth sacrificing your future for someone like him!"

"You became a Martial Venerable at twenty-seven, possessing the qualities of a Saint Lord!"

"You have come with a mission: to represent the Holy Land and preside over the Chamber of Commerce Grand Competition!"

"If you want to kill Ye Fan, fine, we'll turn around and leave, but you'll no longer be a disciple of the Star Moon Holy Land!"

"Wang Teng, this is your tribulation! If you overcome it, the world will be your oyster! If you fail to overcome it, one step back will lead to the deepest hell!"

After the two elders finished speaking, they didn't waste any more words.

All the choices are up to Wang Teng!

Wang Teng remained silent.

He took a deep breath: "Elders, it was my obsession that ran too deep!"

"Uncle, let's go back to Zhongzhou."

……

Meanwhile, in the divine city.

Inside the Tianzheng Chamber of Commerce.

Wu Yingxiong, Song Jianfeng, Wang Mei, Wei Ziqing, and Wan Chongshan gathered together.

"I heard that the world's top auction house has also signed up for the Chamber of Commerce competition!"

"They actually dared to do that!"

"Hahaha! That Ye Fan is such an idiot! To suppress us, he actually used that kind of losing-leader method!" Wu Yingxiong's face was full of glee.

Song Jianfeng gave a sinister smile: "The more he sells, the more he loses! How many cheap resources have we five secretly taken from him during this time? He's digging his own grave!"

Wang Mei picked up her teacup, her demeanor different from her mother's flamboyant style; she appeared dignified and poised. "The Chamber of Commerce competition is just around the corner. Does he think he can win with just a little bit of empty fame? How naive! When the time comes, we'll use the resources we bought from him, combined with our true strength, to show him who the king of Zhongzhou's business world really is!"

"That's right! I'm going to make the world's number one auction house a joke!"

The five men looked at each other and laughed.

"Drive Ye Fan and the world's number one auction house out of the Divine City!"

"Let's humiliate him! Then kill Ye Fan to avenge our parents!"

"We, the five major chambers of commerce, will earn back the face we've lost, bit by bit, in the chamber competition!"

……

The Divine City, a dark underground stronghold.

It was the Central Plains branch of the Heavenly Slaughter Organization.

A man dressed entirely in black robes, with only his blood-red eyes visible, sat in the main seat.

In front of him, the leader of the Heavenly Slaughter Central Plains branch was kneeling on the ground, trembling.

"Fourteen Martial Venerables died at the hands of a mere Eastern Land Prince?" The blood-eyed man's voice was hoarse and devoid of any emotion.

"Killing...killing Lord Wang was due to my incompetence! That Ye Fan was far too cunning..."

"waste."

The man with bloodshot eyes uttered two words.

puff--!

A flash of bloody light appeared, and the branch leader's head flew into the sky.

The man with bloodshot eyes slowly stood up and took out a scroll from his robes, on which two large characters were written in blood.

Ye Fan!

"I came from the West, and it was for you!"

"From this moment forward, I will personally take charge of this task!"

……

Inside the chaotic space, Ye Fan threw down the sword in his hand.

It lay directly on the ground of the chaotic space, just like a big "X".

"Master, I won't fight anymore!"

"Kill me or torture me! It's up to you!"

"I've never seen such a vengeful master before!"

Ye Fan complained.

Ye Shitian sneered, "Don't be ungrateful, brat. When have I ever held a grudge?"

"Try using the 'Lingbo Illusionary Steps' again!"

Ye Fan got up and used the Lingbo Illusionary Step.

An unbelievable scene has unfolded!

His figure rushed out like a ghost, more than ten times faster than before.

"My speed has doubled!"

Ye Fan was extremely surprised!

"Before, with my speed, I could only use the Dragon Blood Overlord Body Technique to become invincible for five seconds before the Martial Venerable was right in front of me, and then kill him with the Yanhuang Sword!"

"Now that the speed of the 'Lingbo Illusionary Steps' has doubled, wouldn't it be possible to take the initiative in attacking?" Ye Fan thought excitedly.

From a passive defense.

To take the initiative.

This is a qualitative change.

Ye Fan asked excitedly, "Master, at my current speed, within how many meters of a Martial Venerable can I kill him with a single strike?"

Ye Shitian replied, "If an ordinary Martial Venerable is extremely vigilant, they should be able to kill him within ten meters."

"If they are not on guard, they will be within approximately fifteen meters!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was overjoyed.

After leaving the Chaotic Space, there are only three days left until the Chamber of Commerce Grand Competition in Central State.

He had to rush back to the divine city overnight, otherwise it would be too late!

After bidding farewell to Shen Hong and Shen Murong, the two didn't even look up, their eyes fixed on the martial arts manuals they were holding: "Xiao Fan! Be careful on your journey. Rong'er, do you think this is how it should be interpreted?"

"Internal energy flows through the Ren and Du meridians! Then, it enters the Chongchi acupoint and circulates back through the Dantian?"

Shen Murong shook his head: "Mother, I don't think we should understand it that way... Little brother, where were we?"

Seeing how engrossed the two of them were.

Ye Fan shook his head helplessly.

Not only the two of them, but everyone else in the Prince's Mansion had become martial arts fanatics!

Everyone knows that only by improving their strength can they protect themselves and keep up with Ye Fan's pace.

On the training ground, Niu Er led a group of veteran soldiers from the Prince's Mansion in a frenzied practice of the "Overbearing Saber Technique"!

The aura of killing intent was incessant! Ye Fan felt a stinging pain on his face as he passed by.

At last.

Ye Fan arrived at Tang Miaoyi's residence and was about to knock on the door when a voice came from inside: "Sister Miaoyi, I've solved this chain of ties! There are nine links in total, it wasn't difficult!"

"Huh? You've already solved the Nine Linked Rings in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?" Tang Miaoyi exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Fan pushed open the door and entered.

Who is it?

Ye Fan grinned: "Isn't this Xueyan, my little sister?"

After a long absence, Nalan Xueyan has grown even more graceful and radiant.

In his previous life, Ye Fan often played with Nalan Xueyan when he was a child! Later, as he grew up and developed a sense of gender, he became fond of brothels and listening to music in the pleasure quarters, and had no sexual interest in this little girl who followed him around.

Nalan Xueyan then faded out of his world.

"Ew~~~"

Nalan Xueyan stood up, somewhat disgusted, and hid directly behind Tang Miaoyi.

Tang Miaoyi's mother was from the Nalan family, and the two were cousins.

Tang Miaoyi smiled: "Look at you, your playboy image is so deeply ingrained that it's even frightening Xueyan."

Ye Fan's lips twitched: "I'm not going to eat her, what's there to be afraid of?"

"By the way, what did you mean by a nine-linked ring?"

Tang Miaoyi then glanced at the interlocking rings on the table: "Nine-linked rings, a total of nine interlocking iron rings! There is only one way to untie them, and this thing is extremely troublesome and time-consuming."

"When I first played it, it took me half an hour to solve it."

"Xue Yan is incredibly talented; she solved it in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"

Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"

"You have a very sharp mind, which is why your concentration far surpasses that of ordinary people. Could it be that Sister Xueyan also has a very sharp mind?"

His gaze shifted and landed on Nalan Xueyan.

"Sister Xueyan, come here, let me examine you!"
