Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

Chapter 571: CEO, Please Sign This Contract

Immediately, everyone’s attention shifted to Lan Mengchen’s hands.

“Oh gosh! T-This is so magical…”

At that moment, everyone exclaimed – dumbfounded. All their eyes and mouths were wide open. Finding it hard to believe, Lan Mengchen’s right arm had gone through a huge transformation. Her skin on her arm glittered like a piece of brand new jade. The brilliance of her skin was like sparkling water – it was as if one could squeeze out moisture from her skin.

One could tell that the effect of the moisturizer on her right arm was better than the left arm. Other than that, Xiaodao Goudai’s moisturizer took three minutes for the effect to be seen while Chen Xiaobei’s moisturizer only took three seconds to transform the skin. The winner of this testing was obvious.

“Miracle! This is a miracle!”

Madam Diana took the initiative to scream out loud. With her face filled with excitement, she could totally imagine that this product was going to be sold out within seconds in the market. It was as if she could already picture the bright future of her company.

“Your… Your product defies science!”

Witnessing the effect of Chen Xiaobei’s moisturizer, Xaidao Goudai’s eyes almost popped out from its sockets. He could not think a logical explanation for the thing that he just observed even after he dedicated his entire life to do research on skincare. To be honest, the moisturizer that he and his team spent ten years to work on could not even compete with Chen Xiaobei’s ‘plain water’.

“This is impossible… How can this be?”

A frustrated look could be seen on Yap Tianlin’s face. Half a minute ago, he was planning on how to embarrass Chen Xiaobei in front of everyone. As he was slapped by harsh reality, he was extremely frustrated.

“The result of the test is more than obvious! I have decided to give my vote to Mr. Chen!”

Lan Mengchen could not wait to make known her thoughts. To her, the effect of Chen Xiaobei’s moisturizer was like a dream come true. It was truly an unbelievable and fantastic experience. As long as Chen Xianbei won in this competition, she would be able to spend time with him as his business partner. This was always the result that she wanted.

“I will give my vote to Mr. Chen as well! Currently, there are only three shareholders in this company. So, two votes will suffice. Mr. Yap, it is not necessary for you to vote anymore! The company has decided to purchase Mr. Chen’s moisturizer with ten percent of the company’s share! As for the bet, we will end it fair and square later.”

“Hold on! None of us mentioned that we are going to bet only one round! We still have the skin whitening product to be tested here! One more round!”

Suddenly, Yap Tianlin shouted.

“That’s right! That’s right! That’s right! Two out of three wins determines the winner of this competition!”

Immediately, Xiaodao Goudai nodded his head like a chicken picking up grains from the floor. Losing one billion was worse than killing him.

“What a shameless act!”

Lan Mengchen could not help but chide. Though Madam Diana did not say a single word, an unhappy look could be seen on her face. Initially, these two idiots were the one that forced Chen Xiaobei to bet with them but they were acting shamelessly after they lost the bet – insisting on having a second bet.

“Doesn’t really matter. I just have to win one more around anyway! I’m very confident that my knowledge in Chinese medicine can render them speechless later!”

Immediately, Lan Menghcen started to feel worried for Chen Xiaobei again, Madam Diana nodded her head in approval – she admired Chen Xiaobei even more now. On the other hand, Yap Tianlin and Xiaodao Goudai were relieved and excited.

“Let’s continue!”

Xiaodao Goudai then took out another small bottle from his suitcase. With an ecstatic tone, he said, “This is the super whitening cream that father worked on during his time! After thirty years of hard work, here is the final product and I’m going to use it to defeat you today!”

After that, he applied the whitening cream on Lan Mengchen’s left arm and rubbed it evenly on her skin. Slowly, her left arm became fairer than her right arm.

“I have to say the effect of this whitening cream is really good! My skin is so fair right now! No other products from the market can compare with it!”

Lan Mengchen and Madam Diana expressed their shocking claim at the same time. Upon hearing this, Xiaodao Goudai and Yap Tianlin had an excited look on their faces – thinking that they could finally defeat Chen Xiaobei in this round of testing. They would create a third round if they somehow won in this round.

“My turn now!”

With a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei took out another mineral water bottle. No one in the room dared to look down on him after they witnessed the miracle created by him earlier. A black concentrated liquid that looked like black sesame soup was poured out from the bottle and applied evenly on Lan Mengchen’s right arm. Half a minute later, an unbelievable scene was unfolded in front of everyone! All the black liquid had disappeared from the surface of her skin! It was as if her skin absorbed all of it completely.

“Alright, everyone! Please have a look!”

“Haha! Obviously, the right arm is not as fair as the left! We have won! We have won!”

“Hold on! I think the winner is Mr. Chen. Mengchen, what do you think about it?”

Suddenly, Madam Diana spoke.

“I think the winner is Mr. Chen as well!”

Without any hesitation, Lan Mengchen nodded her head.

“What?! How is that even possible?”

Stunned, Xiaodao Gou and Yap Tianlin could not believe the thing that they just heard.

“Isn’t the end result obvious?! My whitening cream is definitely better than his! There’s no way that he wins in this round! No way!”

Xiaodao Goudai shouted in anger.

“You are right! Mengchen’s left arm is fairer than her right arm!” Madam Diana said calmly.

“Let’s compare two arms side by side. You can see the healthy red skin tone other than the fairness. It looks really healthy! On the other hand, the left arm’s skin tone is just too fair! It looks like the skin tone of a corpse! As a female consumer, I will choose to buy Mr. Chen’s product without any hesitation.”

Upon hearing the comment from Madam Diana, Xiaodao Goudai and Yap Tianlin were left in bewilderment. Meanwhile, Chen Xiaobei was standing at the side, watching the drama unfold in front of him.

“My decision is pretty obvious! I hereby announce that I will use another ten percent of the company’s share to purchase the rights to Mr. Chen’s whitening cream!”

Everything was finally set in stone. Panicking, Xiaodao Goudai and Yap Tianlin started to beg Madam Diana.

“Madam Diana! Please don’t do this to us! Please… Do something about it… Let’s do three wins out of five instead…”

“Shut up! Integrity is the key element for me when I do business! I have allowed the two of you to do whatever you want just now! Ask for more and I will include the two of you into my blacklist!”

“This…”

Xiaodao Goudai and Yap Tianlin took a deep breath at the same time. Seeing that the old lady that stood in front of them was the chief executive officer of China region of a European Finance Group that was specialized in doing various investments, Xiaodao Goudai and Yap Tianlin knew that she had a lot of connections in society. Being put on her blacklist was no different from becoming the rats that everyone hates. It would be impossible for them to work in Southeast Asia anymore!

“Alright! We are just unlucky this time! We will meet again in the future!”

The two of them had no choice but to leave the place. Needless to say, though they did not dare to offend Madam Diana, they would definitely seek revenge.

“CEO, please sign this contract!”

With a smile on her face, Lan Mengchen handed two documents to Chen Xiaobei.

“W-What did you just called me?”

Chen Xiaobei was baffled.

Chapter 572: Jianghu’s Bounty

“I called you CEO… Originally, you acquired twenty percent of company shares from selling the secret formulae that you possess to us. Then, you received another twenty percent of company shares from Yap Tianlin. So, you now possess a total of forty percent of the company share!”

“On the other hand, Madam Diana and I each own thirty percent of the company share. With that being said, you are the one that owns the most company shares among us which makes you the CEO of the company! Of course, I am going to call you the CEO or even big boss! It’s entirely up to your preference.”

“Damn! This is not bad! You should just call me CEO! The powerful CEO! Ahahaha…”

Immediately, Chen Xiaobei signed all three documents. That marked the birth of the company when all three shareholders were set in stone. After that, all three of them went to a restaurant to have their lunch and talked about the future plans of the company at the same time. Madam Diana was going to finance the business, Lan Mengchen would provide the land for the company, Yap Tianlin would be responsible for production, and finally, Chen Xiaobei would provide secret formulae for the company. Considering that Yap Tianlin was kicked out of the game and Chen Xiaobei did not have much time to take care of the business, he decided to leave the management to Madam Diana and Lan Mengchen. With that being said, all he needed to do was wait for the profit to go to him every month.

As for other arrangements, Chen Xiaobei was just listening and chose not to interrupt them. These two women were extremely good at managing stuff. There was nothing that he needed to worry about except something really bad happened.

After lunch, Chen Xiaobei went to the office to chit-chat with Lan Mengchen for a short while. The both of them did not get to spend too much time together because Madam Diana was there with them. Towards the end, Lan Mengchen needed to follow Madam Diana to go to the factory. So, Chen Xiaobei decided to travel back to Bei Xuan Faction.

Now, his priority was to continue growing his voodoo worm. If nothing bad happened to them, all three pair of voodoo worms should grow to possess a special ability after feeding them with something that was mixed with South Pole Spiritual Jade Fruit and medicinal ingredients. Just when Chen Xiaobei decided to take a rest after doing all the things that he needed to do, his cell phone rang.

“Bro Bei! Something big happened!”

Yap Liangchen’s voice could be heard from the other side of the phone.

“What’s wrong? Say it slowly.”

“The Zhuang Family just put up a Jianghu bounty! They will award three billion to whoever that found Black Star Ganorderma!”

“Black Star Ganoderma? I remember that is an extremely rare medicinal ingredient! It can only be grown in an extreme environment. One can only find it deep inside an ancient jungle! Why is the Zhuang Family looking for it?”

“Huangfu Mumin was the one that requested this medicinal ingredient! I heard that he is going to help Zhuang Bifan detoxify the poison in his system! Black Star Ganoderma is the last medicinal ingredient to be combined with the rest.”

“What?! Huangfu Mumin is in Dragon City now?”

‘Zhuang Bifan’s manhood would function again if all the poison is cleared out from his system. By that time, he would definitely force Lan Mengchen to get marry him! It was not easy for me to finally take care of the skincare company matter and get to meet up with my Mengchen every day! Everything that I have done will become meaningless if Zhuang Bifan is cured of the poison!’

“No way! I have to do something stop this from happening! If not, everything that I’ve done before will be wasted!”

“Tell me more about the bounty! This world is so damn big! There must be a designated area for us to search!”

“There is a designated area for us to look for the Black Heart Ganoderma! This area is located inside the Mount Gloomy Tiger – eight hundred miles north from of Dragon City! An old friend of Huangfu Mumin spotted this Black Star Ganoderma some years ago when he ventured inside this mountain. However, the Black Heart Ganoderma was still young when he spotted it. Plucking it would be pointless.”

“Unfortunately, his old friend had passed away. No one really knows the exact location of this Black Star Ganoderma! In the end, they decided to utilize the manpower from Jianghu to look for this fungus on a large scale! It’s going to be really dangerous for ordinary human being to look for it inside the mountain and it’s not as efficient as well. That is why they decided to ask for help from Jianghu folk!”

“Alright, say no more! Let me pack right now and depart to the mountain immediately!”

With his mind set, there is nothing can change his mind right now.

“Bro Bei, there is no need to rush! Pack first and I will come and pick you up! The Zhuang Family has mobilized five helicopters to send us there to save time!”

“Okay! Let’s do this!”

He let out a sigh and thought, ‘No wonder the Zhuang Family is the most powerful family in Dragon City. They are making such a huge fuss over their own private matter!”

It was hard for Chen Xiaobei to calm down when he thought about making enemies out of such powerful people. However, fear did not get the best of him. On the contrary, he was getting excited and looking forward to crushing them. Seemingly, he knew that someday he would become powerful enough to squash them under his feet like ants! He was looking forward to that day to come and Lan Mengchen shared the same thought as well.

….

Not too long after, Yap Liangchen sent Chen Xiaobei to the outskirts of a small military air base. In order to not let others recognize him, he wore an old man mask that was crafted by Feng Qingyang earlier. He then utilized the Mastery of Sound to change his voice. Seconds later, he became an old man. Mystified, Yap Liangchen could not believe Chen Xiaobei’s transformation.

After waiting for a while, five cargo helicopters with one hundred and fifty Jianghu people inside it left for the mountain. Most of them were disciples of some random factions around Dragon City. They were still relatively young and their cultivation was not that high as well. Clearly, they were there because of the money!

This mission was after all meant for those mediocre Jianghu folk. All those Jianghu elites would definitely not degrade themselves by taking this bounty. However, there was an exception among those mediocre Jianghu folk.

“His name is Bi Yuntao. He is the faction leader of Yuntao Faction! His cultivation is at the later phase of Qi refining stage! He can be considered as the powerful Jianghu elite among all of them! No one here is more powerful than he!”

With his voice lowered down, Yap Liangchen tried to explain the current situation to Chen Xiaobei. Immediately, Chen Xiaobei shifted his attention to the front part inside the cargo helicopter. The Bi Yuntao that Yap Liangchen mentioned earlier could be recognized easily. He was around fifty years old – the oldest one among all the others.

Ding

[Cultivation: Later phase of Qi refining stage. Health: 18,000. Combat power: 18,000!]

He was shaken when he scanned him with his Netherspirit Battlescouter. His current combat power was twelve thousand. With the help of Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement Training, he could boost his combat power to sixteen thousand. Still, he would not be able to defeat him.

“Who are the two people beside him?”

“The one the right is Bi Yunyao, brother of Bi Yuntao. His combat power is slightly weaker but we should not take him lightly!”

Scanning the Netherspirit Battlescouter through him, Chen Xiaobei knew that he was equipped with sixteen thousand combat power. He was definitely not weak at all!

The one on the left is Zhuang Yuejin. He is the cousin of Zhuang Bifan. In this trip, he is just here to monitor us. His cultivation is weak but the bodyguards that came with him are pretty strong! Their cultivations are at the middle phase of Qi refining stage!”

Nodding his head, Chen Xiaobei continued to observe them.

“We have reached Mount Gloomy Tiger. Get ready! Look for the fungus as soon as the cargo helicopter lands! You have to return here within forty-eight hours! Miss it and you will have to walk back to Dragon City!”

An announcement could be heard, which made the crowd really excited.

Chapter 573: Entering The Ancient Jungle

Everyone exited the helicopter. Soon, they started to form groups based on their factions. Among the crowd, Yuntao Faction had the highest number of disciples – around thirty. Other group consisted of around ten people. In the end, Chen Xiaobei and Yap Liangchen were left alone.

“Master Yap!”

Suddenly, a young man shouted. There were ten people following behind him.

“Du Qiuyu! You are here as well!”

A smile appeared on Yap Liangchen’s face when he looked at the person. He then used a soft tone to explained to Chen Xiaobei.

“He is the young master of a lowly faction in Jianghu and he used to be my brother in debauchery.”

Without saying anything, Chen Xiaobei nodded his head.

“Master Yap, you are here with this elder? Join my team! Let’s work together to make sure that we have each other backs!”

“This…”

“Stop the hesitation. Considering our friendship, please don’t tell me that you are going to reject my offer!”

Immediately, Du Qiuyu placed his arms on Yap Liangchen’s shoulder. It seemed like they were rather close. Their action attracted the attention of Jianghu folks around them. Upon seeing this, Chen Xiaobei nodded at Yap Liangchen subtly. Trouble might come to them if Yap Liangchen rejected Du Qiuyu in front of everyone.

With a smile on his face, Yap Liangchen immediately understood Chen Xiaobei’s intention.

“How is it possible that I will reject your offer? From this second onwards, Elder Bei and I are going to allow you to guide us!”

“Well said! Well said! Oh right, may I know who Elder Bei is?”

Immediately, everyone included Bi Yuntao and Zhuang Yuejin straightened up their ears as they wanted to know Chen Xiaobei’s true identity. On the surface, Chen Xiaobei looked really old. One should know that most of the elders in Jianghu were some kind of super elites. Naturally, Chen Xiaobei became the center of attention.

“There must be some misunderstanding here. I’m no elite. I’m just a doctor.”

“What? Doctor?”

“I thought you were some kind of elite! I wanted to lick your boots earlier! Knowing that you are just a doctor ruins my day!”

Upon hearing Chen Xiaobei claim that he was just a doctor, Du Qiuyu’s attitude changed faster than flipping a book from one page to the other page. All the other ten followers in his group were equally disappointed as well. The sound of laughter could be heard from other groups. Seeing this as a joke, all of them went and minded their own business.

This was the reality. Everyone would have tried boot-licking him if he introduced himself as a Jianghu elite. However, they lost interest in him after knowing that he was just a doctor. They did not even bother to turn around to look at him.

“Old man! How old are you? Where did you find the guts to enter Mount Gloomy Tiger? This is an ancient jungle where you don’t normally see people entering a place like this! Aren’t you afraid of dying here?” A short and fat man from the group asked mockingly.

“That’s right! You should just get the hell back to the helicopter and wait for us to return! You are going to slow us down if you come with us! Nobody will care about you if you died in this jungle!”

Another thin man glared at Chen Xiaobei with a look of contempt.

“Hands off! I will only travel with Elder Bei! We will travel by ourselves if you don’t welcome us!” Immediately, Yap Liangchen declared in a cold tone while shaking off Du Qiuyu’s hands.

After putting some thought into it, it was not necessary to offend Yap Liangchen because of a doctor. He then said a deep tone, “Fat Bear and Bamboo Snake! Watch your tone when you talk to the doctor! Apologize to Master Yap now! We are about to enter the jungle!”

With an unwilling look on their faces, both of them said, “Master Yap, we are so sorry.”

After that, everyone marched into the jungle in groups in this huge ancient jungle.

“Master Du, do you think we can locate the Black Star Ganoderma this time?” asked Fat Bear.

“Stop dreaming! Black Star Ganoderma definitely belongs to Yuntao Faction! The faction leader of Yuntao Faction, Bi Yuntao is willing to lower himself down to take on this mission! Clearly, he will be the one that claims this bounty! Considering his combat power and capability, no one here is powerful enough to fight with him!”

“Master Du! You are right! This bounty was designed for Bi Yuntao! Knowing that Yuntao Faction is located near this ancient jungle, they should know this place better than anyone else!” said Bamboo snake.

“With that being said, what are we doing here? It’s a waste of time!” said Fat Bear.

“This is not a waste of time. Huangfu Mumin and the Zhuang Family are the reasons why people choose to take on to this bounty! In other words, we will be taken care of if we come across any problems since they owe us a favor. Right?”

“I see now! It is no wonder some garbage was thick-skinned enough to join us! So, this is his wishful thinking!” Fat Bear retorted.

A series of laughter could be heard after he made the comment. Everyone knew who the garbage he was referring to was. Yap Liangchen was furious. Standing at the back of the team, he would have stridden towards Fat Bear and taught him a lesson if Chen Xiaobei did not stop him. However, they were being seen as weaklings since they had decided to not say anything about it. Instantly, mockery filled the air.

“Garbage is garbage! He didn’t even defend himself after our insults!”

“I really don’t understand why Master Yap brought him here! He is a burden!”

“Ain’t that right! Look at him! He’s about to die of old age! Why did he even bother to come here? Will we be blamed if he dies in this jungle?”

“I think that is bound to happen no matter what! What a terrifying thought!”

…..

Chen Xiaobei was being treated like a joke with more and more people joined in the mocking squad. Seeing that Yap Liangchen could not wait to beat them up, Chen Xiaobei wanted him to keep calm to prevent any unnecessary troubles.

“Look! It’s Ganoderma!”

Suddenly, Bamboo Snake shouted. He then ran towards a stone quickly and he found a small crimson Ganoderma in the stone crack.

“You have overreacted! This is not the Black Star Ganoderma!” said Fat Bear.

“I’m still happy even though this is not the Black Star Ganoderma that we want to find! This wild Ganoderma can be sold for a few thousand Yuan!” said Bamboo Snake.

“For real?!”

The crowd was taken aback when they heard the price of wild Ganoderma.

“Of course, this is real! There are more medicinal herbs that are better than this Ganoderma in this jungle! Last month, my friend found a wild ginseng in this mountain and he sold it for three million yuan! That was truly incredible!”

“Three million?! That is not a small number!”

“With that being said, I’m going to announce something right now! We go on a first come first served basis. If you find any rare medicinal herbs, it is yours. I don’t want any fighting in my group! Is that clear?!”

“Yes!”

“Alright. Disperse and look for all kinds of rare medicinal herbs! Do not stray too far from each other. It’s easier for us to gather later!”

“Make sure you check every spot thoroughly! We might be able to find something that’s worth millions!”

Chapter 574: Thick Skinned

After that, the crowd walked in different directions to look for rare medicinal herbs. In order to increase the rate of success in locating the Black Star Ganoderma, Chen Xiaobei and Yap Liangchen decided to go separate ways temporarily as well. Destroying the Black Star Ganoderma would be Chen Xiaobei’s priority if he or Yap Liangchen could not bring it home. No matter what, the Zhuang Family must not find it before them!

One must handle the Black Heart Ganoderma carefully. There was a layer of protection around it – breaking it would mean the loss of all medical Qi in it, making it no different from a piece of rotten wood. With that being said, it was actually very easy to destroy it. However, they must first locate it.

“This jungle is huge! It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack!”

Yap Liangchen could not help but complain. Seeing that the sun was setting soon, half a day was gone. Set aside Black Star Ganoderma, Yap Liangchen could not even find any normal medicinal ingredient. It was no wonder that he was left in frustration.

“Eh? That… That is…”

Suddenly, Yap Liangchen had his attention locked on a green plant. There were five leaves on one single stem with the look of a palm. No leaves could be seen on the stem in the middle but a flat and round bright red berry was getting all the attention.

“Wild mountain ginseng! Five leaves! The age of this old ginseng should be around three hundred years old! It can be sold for at least five million! Jackpot!”

Yap Liangchen’s eyes sparkled. Recently, he had to make quite a number of trips to a market that sold medicinal herbs. With his knowledge about medicinal herbs growing, he could remember everything clearly when it came to all the expensive and rare ingredients that Chen Xiaobei needed to concoct pills. Immediately, he ran towards the plant. He then knelt down in front of it and used both of his hands to remove the mud around it. Not hurting the root would be his main priority.

“This ginseng’s age should be around three hundred to four hundred years old.”

His deduction was proven correct when he held the ginseng in his hand. With a smile on his face, he said, “I couldn’t even buy a hundred years old ginseng for Bro Bei during my last trip. Also, the lack of spiritual pearl from the Chinese Knotweed caused the pill production to drop drastically! With this three hundred years old wild ginseng, Bro Bei should be able to boost his pill production again! This is so exciting!”

His loyalty towards Chen Xiaobei was unquestionable because he consumed the Heavenly Dog Biscuit a long time ago. Naturally, he would feel happy when he found something that was beneficial to Chen Xiaobei.

“Master Yap! Why are you so happy? Tell us! Let’s share the happiness with us!”

A voice with a weird tone could be heard from his back. Filled with fear, Yap Liangchen did not notice that someone was closing on to him because he was too focused on digging out the wild ginseng.

“Nothing much. It’s just a ginseng.”

He got even more nervous when he turned around and saw Du Qiuyu and ten of his followers were standing behind him.

‘They didn’t go their separate ways to look for Black Star Ganoderma. What the hell are they trying to do by gathering here? Something fishy must be going on!”

“Why are all of you here? There is still light. You guys can still spend some time looking for the Black Star Ganoderma!” Sensing that something was not right, Yap Liangchen asked in a cautious tone.

“There is nothing to be found. Do you really think we can locate the Black Star Ganoderma? That item belongs to Yuntao Faction! There is no way that we can find it before them!”

“As compare to the Black Star Ganoderma, I’m more interested in the wild ginseng that you are holding! Judging from the size of it, I think it can at least sell for five to six million!”

The look of greed could be seen on everyone’s face once the price of the wild ginseng was revealed.

“I was just lucky…”

“Ain’t that right? Master Yap’s luck is just too damn good! Our whole group didn’t even find anything valuable after walking up and down the whole afternoon! We are so jealous of you right now!” said Fat Bear.

Everyone then slowly moved from where they stood and formed a circle to surround Yap Liangchen.

“What are you guys trying to do?”

“You are not a kid anymore. Stop acting naively! Give us the wild ginseng that you found!” said Du Qiuyu.

“So, you are trying to rob me right now? How about the friendship between us?”

“Friendship? What is that? All I ever did with you was eat and drink with you several times. That is nothing compared to five million!”

Immediately, Yap Liangchen could feel fear creeping into his heart once again. The way Du Qiuyu acted made Yap Liangchen really surprised but it was only normal that he would pull off something like this. Even a real friend would betray you with the temptation of money – what more a drinking buddy.

“Alright, let’s not mention the friendship I thought we had. What about the rule you set earlier? About finders keepers? You just broke your own rule!”

“Hehe… Did I ever say something like that? I don’t remember it at all!”

“We don’t remember this rule as well! Master Du did not mention about this rule at all!”

“You… All of you…”

Disgusted, Yap Liangchen felt like he just ate a stink bug. He had never seen such shameless individuals.

“Stop playing a fool! Hand us the wild ginseng now and get lost! However, you can choose to stay here if you want to have a taste of my Pinnacle Mountain Crushing Punch!”

“What?! Your Mountain Crushing Punch is already at pinnacle phase?”

A shocked look could be seen on Yap Liangchen’s face.

“Why are you so surprised? Our Master Du is extremely talented! He has already perfected his Mountain Crushing Punch! There is no one on the same cultivation level that can defeat him!”

“Using the Moutain Crushing Punch to defeat him is absolutely unnecessary! Our Master Du’s strength is always more powerful than Yap Liangchen! I bet our Master Du can defeat him with only a hand!”

After listening to the compliments from his followers, Di Qiuyu’s chin was raised. The arrogant look on his face was literally asking for a beating. Yap Liangchen could not wait to dash at him and land a few slaps on his face. Unfortunately, the gap between their combat power was just too huge – like a ravine.

“How about this. I can pay you guys five million right now and I get to walk away with this wild ginseng!”

“Hehe! Master Yap really is filthy rich! As compared to the rest us, the poor ass disciples, you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth! We are really envious of you! I feel like changing my mind. How much do you think the Yap Family will pay us if we kidnap Yap Liangchen? Fifty million or five hundred million?” asked Du Qiuyu with a smile.

All of them could be considered poor disciples – it was rather hard for them to come across such a huge sum of money. With a golden opportunity placed in front of them, it was enough to summon the greed demon from their hearts!

“I will not fight back if I were you!”

With a grim smile on his face, Du Qiuyu glared at Yap Liangchen. All hope was lost. There was nothing Yap Liangchen could do about his current circumstance.

“I will not touch him if I were you!”

An old and raspy voice could be heard from afar. Immediately, everyone shifted their attention to where the voice came from.

Chapter 575: You Have Chosen Death

“Elder Bei!”

Yap Liangchen rejoiced when he saw Chen Xiaobei. With his strength, it was really easy for him to take care of the situation. The Jiangfu folk around him did not know his true identity. Everyone was taking turns to mock him again.

“This old piece of trash is here again! Yap Liangchen is now our hostage! How dare you come here to be killed by us?!”

“Old junk! You must have lived too long! You are about to die of old age! Coming here to interfere in our business is like risking your life to act tough in front of us!”

“Maybe, he wants to go crazy for one last time before he dies! He is looking for a rush of adrenaline!”

…..

With their voices raised, they were getting more and more creative with their insults. Though Chen Xiaobei was still calm, a cold wave was stirring deep within his pitch-black eyes. In order to prevent trouble from coming to him, Chen Xiaobei suppressed his anger from the beginning until now. However, trouble still came knocking at his door even though he did not do anything.

With that being said, people would see you as a weakling when you choose to not to defend yourself! Being patient would only bring more oppression to yourself! There was no need to hold back anymore!

“I now will give you guys two options! One, let him go! Second, die!”

Chen Xiaobei might have sounded calm but his tone carried determination and authority. That being said, he was more than ready to kill all of them. There was simply no third option for them. Bewildered, Du Qiuyu and the rest of the disciples could not believe what they just heard.

‘Bro Bei is simply too powerful! Life and death for this bunch of idiots lie on one single thought now!’

Feeling puzzled, Du Qiuyu took a good look at Chen Xiaobei again. He felt like there was something about this old man, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. Standing there emotionless, Chen Xiaobei was waiting for an answer from the enemies.

“F*ck! Stop the pretentious act here! Even Yap Liangchen is afraid of us! An old man like you can do no harm to us!”

“Master Du! I can kill that old bastard within three seconds!”

Fat Bear volunteered to kill Chen Xiaobei.

“Alright.”

Nodding his head, he was still unaware of how powerful Chen Xiaobei was. To him, Fat Bear alone was more than enough to defeat him.

“Fat Bear! Bullying an old man is so shameless! Hahaha…”

“Fat Bear! Use your Eagle Claw to decapitate him!”

“That’s right! Do something special! Don’t let him die an easy death!”

……

Everyone that sided with Du Qiuyu was getting ready to sit back and enjoy the exciting show that was about to unfold with wicked grins on their faces.

‘A bunch of idiots!’

Upon hearing their cheering, Yap Liangchen could not help but roll his eyes at them.

‘Bro Bei has given you guys a chance! There is no one to blame when you guys are killed by Bro Bei!”

“Old bastard! Any last words? Speak now! There will be no more chance to say anything when I strike you!”

With a grim smile on his face, Fat Bear was getting closer to Chen Xiaobei. An arrogant look could be seen on his face when he used both of his colossal hands to tap on his belly that was comparable to a ten-months-pregnant-belly.

“Wind!”

Waving his hand casually, the crowd was stunned when they saw a blood-red ray rush out from Chen Xiaobei’s palm. Immediately, a bloodthirsty aura filled the space. With Black Dragon acting as the source of energy, the evening sky turned into a crimson hell! It was like the demon king himself stepped foot in the place.

“Ughh… Ah…”

Fear!

Despair!

The sound of wailing could be heard from Fat Bear. It was too painful for him to bear! Before he realized it, a precise vertical cut appeared on his big fat tummy – like a watermelon being cut in half. Thick blood spurted out from his stomach along with slashed internal organs. It was definitely a terrifying scene.

*Boom!*

Fat Bear’s life ended as he fell into the pool of his own blood. With his eyes wide open, he let out his final breath. In the end, he did not even know what killed him – which made his death in vain!

“What… What the hell is going on?”

Everyone included Du Qiuyu did not know what just happened. All they saw was a crimson ray flashed pass their eyes and next thing they knew was Fat Bear’s stomach was cut open and he ceased to exist.

“This… This is unreal… Master Du… What did that old bastard just do?”

With his heart thumping non-stop, Bamboo Snake’s face turned pale.

“How would I know…”

Du Qiuyu’s broke out in cold sweat. Without knowing Chen Xiaobei’s combat power, he did not dare to risk his life. With his teeth gritted, he made his stand clear.

“Elder, you are too powerful! We make a huge mistake this time! Please bring Yap Liangchen away from this place. We shall not cross paths again!”

“Hmph! Dream on! You have chosen to be killed by me the moment you sent that fatty to kill me!”

Shaking his head with no emotion on his face, no sympathy could be seen in his pitch-black eyes.

“What?! Elder! So, are you trying to kill all of us here? Do not force our hand! We have ten people left! I don’t think you can defeat us all at once!”

“You guys are just like ants to me! One squash is more than enough to kill all of you!”

“Alright! Remember, you are the one that forced our hand! Brothers! Let’s fight with him all at once! Let him know that he messed with the wrong people!” Du Qiuya ordered, gritting his teeth.

Though he could not identify Chen Xiaobei’s combat power, he was really confident in his own strength. Along with his shout, he was the first one that dashed at Chen Xiaobei.

“Mountain Crushing Punch!”

His True Qi was pushed to the pinnacle phase while he was shouting. Immediately, a stream of mud yellow True Qi surrounded his right arm – making it look like a huge pillar that could crush mountains!

“So, that’s the true power of Pinnacle Mountain Crushing Punch! Du Qiuyu’s talent is really not bad! Until today, I couldn’t even learn this skill but he has already reached the pinnacle phase with this skill!”

Yap Liangchen was awestruck.

“What now? Afraid of me yet? Die!”

His confidence was boosted greatly after hearing the compliment from Yap Liangchen. With his fist aiming at Chen Xiaobei’s chest, he wanted to be able to take him out with only one punch!

“To be honest, I can’t defeat you! But, don’t forget that your opponent is Elder Bei! To him, you are just an ant!”

“What?! How is that even possible?!”

Suddenly, Du Qiuyu let out a scream. It was not because of what Yap Liangchen just said. His punch did land on Chen Xiaobei’s chest but no harm was done unto him! The look on his face was still as calm!

“This is not possible… It can’t be…”

With his pupils contracted, startled, Du Qiuyu fell to the ground like he lost his soul. He did not expect that his Mountain Crushing Punch that he was always proud of was completely ineffective on Chen Xiaobei. Of course, he did not have much to think about it. Next second, Chen Xiaobei uttered a final sentence before his death!

“My turn.”

Chapter 576: Killing Nine People with One Single Slash

“No… Please don’t do this…”

Shaking in fear, Du Qiuyu’s pupils contracted when a fist approached, closing his left eye.

*Pow!*

With a muffled scream, Du Qiuyu was sent flying like a meteor ten meters away! A pit was formed from where he landed. Immediately, he passed out before he could say a single word.

“What… What the hell is happening?”

The rest of the disciples were getting ready to attack Chen Xiaobei. However, they came to a complete stop when they were running halfway. To their dismay, every single one of them had their attention on Du Qiuyu. He was lying right there on the floor with no apparent injuries on his upper and lower body. However, the left side of his head was ripped to shreds with shattered bone around it – like a watermelon being smashed by a hammer. The mixture of flesh, blood, and bones were scattered all around him.

“Oh my goodness… This is horrible…”

Upon witnessing this horrendous scene, the rest of the nine Jianghu folk almost peed their pants. Cowardice got the better of two of them as they collapsed to the floor immediately with their legs shaking uncontrollably.

“Oh god… That old man just destroyed Master Du’s head with a single punch… His combat power is at least fifteen thousand… At least!!!”

“Too powerful… Among all the one hundred fifty Jianghu folk that traveled here, only Bi Yuntao and Bi Yunyao are powerful enough to defeat him… As compare to him, we are like ants…”

“He hid his true strength too well… It was suicidal for us to call him garbage…”

…..

Petrified, all nine did not think to run for their lives. It was not like they could even if they wanted to!

“Wind!”

Instantaneously, a frenzied dragon stormed at them from the crimson sky. Facing a crushing force like this, they were made to gasp for more air – rendered defenseless.

*Phiiish*

*Phiiish*

*Phiiish*

The crimson mad dragon flitted through them like a lightning. Next second, all nine of them were decapitated – leaving nine headless bodies with blood spewing out. In a blink of an eye, all nine of them became headless corpses!

Killing all nine of them with only a single slash!

*Siii…*

Yap Liangchen took in a deep breath. Though the battle had ended, a shocking look could still be seen on his face. This was after his first time witnessing Crimson Turmoil! The might of the sword was enough to shake his mind and soul. Experiencing the might that came from the void made him feel like that his lungs and heart were about to be crushed! It was truly terrifying and surreal!

“Don’t just stand there. Go and deal with the bodies… We have to leave immediately. I’m afraid that the loud noise is going to attract some people to come here!”

Chen Xiaobei then focused his Chaos Sword Essence to absorb all the blood essence from all the bodies. After that, a bottle of Body Dissolving Poison was handed to Yap Liangchen. After giving the wild ginseng to Chen Xiaobei, Yap Liangchen went to take care of with the bodies.

Ding!

[You have eliminated a first generation evil individual. Ten thousand merit points had been awarded to you!]

Ding!

[You have eliminated an evil individual…]

Ding!

[You have…]

….

After he kept the wild ginseng in his treasure chest, he received eleven notifications in regards to his merit point gains. Judging from this, one could tell that none of the Jianghu folk that Chen Xiaobei killed earlier were good. In total, Chen Xiaobei received a total of 20,000 merit points.

Ding!

[Your current merit points is 280,000. You need another 20,000 merit points to go to the next level (Charm: 28,000. Luck: 28,000)!]

“Not bad at all. Other than acquiring the wild ginseng, I’m about level up as well!”

To his surprise, Chen Xiaobei noticed some changes to his Chaos Sword Essence.

“My Chaos Sword Essence is going through some changes as well! Does that mean it is going to evolve soon?”

Upon finished absorbing all the blood essence, the sword flew back to Chen Xiaobei and floated in front of him. On that top-tier sword made of blood jade, a few rays of obsidian glow could be seen. Nine streams of blood Qi were flowing within the sword like nine dragons swimming inside it. The image was definitely clearer than before! The obsidian glow came from the middle of the nine dragons was a dark and deep line. That line was the Black Dragon Blood it absorbed when it was born to this world.

“During the previous evolution of the Chaos Sword Essence, it had a jade form. Its power increased tremendously! I’m curious what kind of transformation I would get to see this time.”

Chen Xiaobei was thinking about it. Growing a sword and raising a Spiritual Beast were actually pretty similar. One would need to invest a lot of resources on them for them to grow stronger and evolve. However, the evolution of a sword was actually slightly different compared to a Spiritual Beast. Other than feeding it with blood essence, one needed to wait for the right time for it to evolve. Crossing path with blood jade coffin was the factor that caused the evolution of the Chaos Sword Essence. Clearly, the next evolution was not going to be easy to be completed. Of course, Chen Xiaobei would not give up on it no matter what! Thinking of the power of the Chaos Sword Essence, Chen Xiaobei’s combat efficiency would definitely be boosted if it evolved once again!

“I have no idea when is Sifu going to contact me again. It would save me a lot of trouble if I can talk to him right now.”

Chen Xiaobei then kept his Chaos Sword Essence. At the same time, Yap Liangchen was done dealing with the bodies as well. Just when the two of them wanted to leave this place, they heard someone shouting in front of them.

“What are you guys trying to do?”

There were five Jianghu people striding towards them in a hastened manner. The one that shouted was the most powerful Jianghu elite of this trip, Bi Yuntao. His brother, Bi Yunyao was walking beside him. The other three following behind them were Zhuang Yuejin and two of his bodyguards.

“Shit! They must have heard the loud noise and traced it here!”

Furrowing his brows, Yap Liangchen was worried that they might see the bodies that were still going through the decomposing process. Considering that Bi Yuntao’s combat power was 18,000 and Bi Yunyao’s combat power was 16,000, it was simply not possible for Yap Liangchen and Chen Xiaobei to defeat them. Other than that, as the person in charge of this operation, Zhuang Yuejin would definitely not allow anyone to disrupt this mission!

Crossing path with them would mean another wave of trouble. Subtly, Chen Xiaobei reached out to his cell phone, withdrew something from his treasure chest, and held it in his palm.

“Bro Bei, what should we do now?”

Seeing that those five people were closing on to them, Yap Liangchen was getting more and more anxious.

“We need to risk it this time.”

Focusing his gaze at Zhuang Yuejin, Chen Xiaobei said softly “He will become my chess piece in the Zhuang Family if what I’m about to do to him turns out to be successful!”

“Chess piece? This…”

Yap Liangchen gulped several times. All he could do was stand there with fear gradually building up since he failed to read Chen Xiaobei’s mind. Seeing all the bodies on the ground, Bi Yuntao and Bi Yunyao frowned when they arrived here.

“Oh my lord…”

Zhuang Yuejin arrived after that.

Upon seeing the half-decomposed bodies, he quickly hid behind his bodyguard with a pale look on him.

“W-What the hell happened here?” asked Zhuang Yuejin fearfully.

“This is poison! So ruthless!” remarked Bi Yuntao.

He then turned his attention to Chen Xiaobei, staring at him intently.

Chapter 577: Miaojiang Poison King

“This poison is extremely lethal! It basically destroys all kind of evidence! I’m afraid all the bodies here will be dissolved completely if we had arrived half a minute later!”

Bi Yuntao’s cold gaze was fixed on Chen Xiaobei when he asked, “Are you the one that killed all of them here?”

“Yes.”

Chen Xiaobei still looked really calm as he nodded his head. It was as if the group of people that he killed earlier were just ants. Bewildered, Yap Liangchen expected that Chen Xiaobei would at least defend himself. Admitting his own crime was most certainly not what he expected.

‘Is this a wise move?’ thought Yap Liangchen, terrified.

“I thought you are a doctor? You are so ruthless when it comes to killing people! Though Jianghu folk are not bound by regular law, we still need to abide to rules of Jianghu!”

“Hmph! I have never wanted to abide by the rules! Moreover, they were the one that tried to kill me first! If not, I will definitely not kill them without any reason! The Body Dissolving Poison that I used on them is more valuable than their lives!”

Everyone was left baffled after hearing Chen Xiaobei’s comment. Saying that the poison was more valuable than one’s life was definitely arrogance on another level!

Zhuang Yuejin gulped several times and tried his best to calm down. He then asked, “Why… Why did you kill them?”

“The reason I came here is to look for medicinal ingredients. That’s why I want to conceal my real identity to ease my work here! But, those brats kept on humiliating me! They were planning on murdering me just so they could rob me of the medicinal herb that I found! In order to protect myself, I had to kill all of them with my poison! Is that wrong?”

“This…”

His cowardly nature rendered him speechless when he sensed Chen Xiaobei’s Qi overpowering him.

“Since you are not talking, I think you agree with what I just told you, right? I have to make a move now!”

Chen Xiaobei harrumphed – turned around and prepared to walk away from them. Finally, Yap Liangchen could let out a sigh of relief. He did not expect that they could get off the hook easily.

“Hold on right there! I have been in this Jianghu for more than thirty years yet have not heard of a poison expert such as you… Tell me now! Who are you?”

“Ignorant brats! I’m the well-known Miaojiang Poison King!”

“Insolent old fart! How dare you call my brother in ignorant brat? I think you are an old conman trying to tell us some make-believe stuff! What the f*ck is a poison king? I’ve not heard about it before!”

“Why are you so surprise that you have not heard about it before? Juniors like you were still being breastfed when I ventured into this Jianghu!” retorted Chen Xiaobei.

“I…”

Being thrown in the pit of anger, Bi Yuntao was rendered speechless. He was after a fifty-year-old man. However, Chen Xiaobei treated him like a baby still. When age was the factor here, there was nothing he could say to refute Chen Xiaobei’s comment about him.

“Have you guys heard about the Poison King?”

With a soft tone, Zhuang Yuejin asked his bodyguards. The two of them were in their forties. Shaking their heads, they too had not heard of the Poison King.

“Actually, there is an easy to make him to prove that whether he is the true Poison King!” remarked Bi Yuntao with a smile on his face.

“How?”

Filled with curiosity, everyone looked at him with eyes wide open.

“Miaojiang is located at the southwest border. The area is surrounded by an ancient jungle. All the indigenous folk over there are experts at the art of poison, voodoo, and the mysterious tame-head! We have seen your poison skill. We will believe in what you told us earlier if you can show us the art of voodoo and tame-head!”

“I see now!”

“Old fart! Did you hear what my brother just said to you? Show us the art of voodoo and tame-head now!” Bi Yuntao shouted after realizing his brother’s intention.

“I use them to kill people! I’m not going to show them to idiots like you guys!”

“Motherf*cker! Who are you calling idiots? I’m going to ask you one last time! Are you not going to show them to us?!”

“Yes! What can you do to me?”

“What can we do to you? My brother mentioned earlier that there are Jianghu rules that we need to abide by! This is going to turn into an eye for an eye circumstance! I’m going to cut off your head and offer it to Du Qiuyu’s father! I think I will be rewarded abundantly for doing that!”

“I have told you that I killed all of them out of self-defense! I’m not going to allow you to do harm unto me if you continue to act unreasonably towards me!”

“Alright! I have always wanted to try that how powerful you are!”

A grim smile cold be seen on Bi Yunyao’s face as he stretched his fingers. Chen Xiaobei could not care less about him. He turned around and looked at Zhuang Yuejin.

“Zhuang Family junior. Are you not going to do something about it?”

“I…”

He was actually here to represent the Zhuang Family to deal with this matter. Considering that he was not a Jianghu person, he had absolutely no idea about the things that were happening in Jianghu. The person that stood in front of him were Bi Yuntao and a possibly legit poison king. He did not dare to offend either one! Playing dumb was the best option for now!

“Justice does not come from our conscience! It comes from our fists! Bring yourself justice if you think you are capable of doing so! Suck it in if you are not capable to do so! It is useless to beg for someone to help you!” Bi Yuntao said with a smile on his face.

“It looks like you brats are really forcing my hand!”

“Well, you can choose to stand there and do nothing! My little brother will grant you a quick death!”

“Hmph! I will break his neck! I feel so ecstatic just thinking about it!”

Bi Yuntao stuck out his tongue and licked his lips with a wicked grin his face. Actually, the two brothers did not that believe that Chen Xiaobei was the Poison King. To them, he was just trying get off the hook. With that in mind, they would definitely not let Chen Xiaobei leave this place!

“Alright! Come and fight me since you brats have already cross the line!”

“Hehe… This is a classic fear don’t strike those that knows nothing! Do you know who I am? Don’t blame me for not giving you a fair warning later! My combat power is around sixteen thousand! Du Qiuyu is like a baby as compare to me!”

Bi Yunyao said in an arrogant tone.

“What?! Sixteen thousand?!”

Yap Liangchen was awestruck after knowing his combat power. On the other hand, Bi Yunyao did not know Chen Xiaobei’s combat power as well. The punch that he threw on Du Qiuyu consisted of fifteen thousand combat power. With the gap of one thousand combat power, it was not possible for Chen Xiaobei to defeat Bi Yunyao.

Judging from Yap Liangchen’s look, Bi Yunyao quickly realized something.

With a condescending tone, he said, “Old fart, I think your combat power is lower than me! Do you still want to fight me?”

“What do you think?”

Dashing out, Chen Xiaobei landed a slap on Bi Yunyao’s face.

*Slap!*

Chapter 578: More Than A Slap

*Slap*

A loud slap rang in the air. With True Qi being imbued in the slap, Bi Yunyao was sent flying to five meters away from where he stood – causing a deep drag mark on the ground.

*Blarrggh*

Immediately, Bi Yunyao spat a mouthful of blood with teeth in it. A purplish-red handprint could be seen on his face. His face was as swollen as bun. Like a dead fish, he rolled both of his eyes and passed out seconds later.

“T-t-t-this…”

Startled, everyone was rendered speechless. Before Chen Xiaobei landed that slap on Bi Yunyao’s face, everyone thought that he was just a crook that tried to tell them make-believe story. None of them expected that he possessed sixteen thousand worth of combat power. Clearly, Bi Yunyao did not think that Chen Xiaobei would defeat him just like that.

Thinking that Chen Xiaobei might be afraid to fight him after letting him know his combat power, Bi Yunyao did not have his guard up at all. That was the moment when Chen Xiaobei boosted his strength with Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement Training and landed a 120% powerful slap on his face.

Thankfully, Bi Yunyao possessed sixteen thousand health – others would have been killed by this slap if their health was lower than sixteen thousand!

“Yunyao! Are you okay?!”

Immediately, Bi Yuntao get out from his state of shock and ran to his brother. He then said while frowning, “Yunyao… Yunyao… What’s wrong with you? You shouldn’t be passing out since that old fart is as powerful as you!”

Gasping for air with his eyes rolled back, Bi Yunyao literally looked like a fish out of water.

He looked like he was having a seizure – making him losing all his vitality.

“Could it be he is suffering from concussion? The slap that landed on his face just now was really terrifying! Please don’t turn into a retard”

Unconsciously, Zhuang Yuejin gulped several times.

“What did you just say?!”

Bi Yuntao glared at Zhuang Yuejin.

“No… Nothing…”

Immediately, Zhuang Yuejin shook his head with fear. He knew clearly that the relationship between Bi Yuntao and Bi Yunyao was extremely good. Offending Bi Yuntao would definitely not end well for him even if he was a member of the Zhuang Family. This place was after a jungle. Though the Zhuang Family was powerful, there was no way that they could know if something bad happened to him in this jungle.

Meanwhile, Yap Liangchen was speechless as well – standing there with his eyes and mouth agape. Initially, Yap Liangchen thought that there was no way for Chen Xiaobei to defeat Bi Yunyao. However, Chen Xiaobei managed to defeat the sixteen thousand combat power elite with only a single slap. He could not even get up now.

Thinking that he had only ten thousand combat power, he wondered if Chen Xiaobei could defeat him with only one finger. Three minutes later, Bi Yunyao finally breathed normally again. He then said in an arduous tone, “Brother… I-I can’t channel any energy to my body at all… Even talking is taking up all my strength… That old fart did something wicked to me…”

“Old fart! What did you do to my little brother?!”

“Please continue to talk to me in this rude tone if you wish for your brother’s death to hasten!” Shrugging his shoulders casually, Chen Xiaobei was obviously issuing a threat.

“You…”

Burning with rage, Bi Yuntao had to succumb to Chen Xiaobei’s will.

“Elder… May I know what you have done to my brother?”

Bi Yuntao was forced to suppress his anger while talking to Chen Xiaobei.

“What kind of look is that? Don’t show me your sad face! You can cry as long as you want when your little brother is dead!”

“I…”

Rendering with frustration, Bi Yuntao had forced himself to squeeze out a smile.

“Elder, can you please tell me now?”

“Stop smiling! Your smiling face is uglier than your sad face! Looking ugly is definitely not your fault! However, it’s your fault that you came out here to scare off others!”

“…..”

Looking even more frustrated, Bi Yuntao wanted to slap Chen Xiaobei to death. However, he did not dare to do anything to Chen Xiaobei because his brother was in a bad state.

“Elder! It’s my fault! Please don’t lower yourself to the same level with me… Please tell me the truth…” pleaded Bi Yuntao softly.

He was trying his best to suppress his anger. Zhuang Yuejin and Yap Liangchen were astonished seeing the way Bi Yuntao behaved towards Chen Xiaobei. Seemingly, they all knew Bi Yuntao’s strength and temper. It was their first time seeing him beg others with a polite attitude.

“Seeing that you are so sincere, I shall tell you the truth out of mercy!”

Bi Yuntao was not the only here wanted to know the truth. Everyone around Chen Xiaobei straightened up their ears to wait for the truth to be unveiled.

“All of you wanted to see me performing the art of voodoo, right? Look at the handprint on his face!”

“What?!”

Puzzled, the crowd immediately shifted their attention to Bi Yunyao’s face. There was a small half-a-centimeter-long cut in the middle of the handprint. It was not obvious at all if one did not pay attention to it.

“Are you trying to say that you have planted a voodoo worm inside my brother’s body?”

Filled with fury once again, Bi Yuntao’s hands were trembling.

“That’s right. You brats were the one that insisted that I should perform the art of voodoo in front of all of you! Are you happy now?”

“Wicked old fart! I will definitely kill you if something bad happens to my brother!”

Bi Yuntao could not stop yelling at Chen Xiaobei. With his face contorted, it was as if he was forced to eat a pile of dung. He would not have taunted Chen Xioabei if he knew this was the ending.

“Don’t worry. Your brother will live. The voodoo worm that I planted in your brother’s body is called Vitality Drain Voodoo Worm. It will keep its host alive to continue to feed on him. All you need to do is prepare a comfortable bed for your brother and he can lie on it for the rest of his life!”

‘For the rest of his life?! In other words, he will be no different from a vegetable. Though he is still breathing, he has become the food for a worm. Other than that, he serves no purpose to this world. What a pathetic life…’

“Elder… I’m wrong… Really… Please spare my life… Please remove this voodoo worm…”

Bi Yuntao mustered all his strength to beg Chen Xiaobei. At that moment, he was so regretful of what he did to Chen Xiaobei earlier. It was better to kill himself than living like this.

“Elder… Consider this as a good deed. Please spare my brother’s life! We have nothing against each other. You don’t have to do this to us. Please… I beg you…”

Immediately, Bi Yuntao tucked away his anger and put on a pleading look.

“Well, that sounds really nice! Who was the one that wanted to kill me earlier? Who was the one mentioned that he wanted to break my neck?”

“This…”

Lost for words, Bi Yuntao gave Chen Xiaobei a look of pure wrath. It was as if he would fight Chen Xiaobei until both of them drop dead.

Chapter 579: The Chess Piece Is in Place

A rabbit would attack an eagle in desperation. With that being said, Bu Yuntao would definitely kill Chen Xiaobei once Bi Yunyao completely recovered! Instantly, Yap Liangchen could feel the nervousness creeping up his spine. Opportunity and luck were the factors that caused Chen Xiaobei to win the fight against Bi Yunyao. Facing an elite like Bi Yuntao with eighteen thousand combat power would mean defeat for Chen Xiaobei.

“Elder!” Suddenly, Zhuang Yuejin spoke up.

“For my sake, can you please let him go? Consider that I owe you a big favor!”

“Who do you think you are? Why should I let him off for your sake?”

Chen Xiaobei might look like he did not care from the surface but he was actually feeling happy inside deep inside his heart. Finally, the fish took the bait!

“I…”

Aghast, Zhuang Yuejin did not dare to show his anger.

“Y-y-yes… I’m just a nobody and my words carry no weight… It is only normal that you will not do it because of me! But, planting a voodoo worm is actuall
