The destruction of the Daoist Sect had all but completely dashed Fu Feng's hopes, and finding such an opportunity again was likely never to happen.

This feeling almost drove Fu Feng mad. The rage in his heart was near the brink of losing all reason.

The fury of a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Ascension Phase was a terrifying thing indeed.

"Lin Yu? Some unknown junior from a minor family in the Immortal Realm, whose family has been in the medicinal herb business for generations—rather modestly wealthy... The one who destroyed the Daoist Sect, that person is friends with Lin Yu!"

"That fat man should know a lot about this matter; he seems to have been extorted of all his wealth by the assailant."

"Moreover, the assailant's various cultivation levels are quite remarkable. He seems to be very aware of the function of that great formation and has permanently sealed it. We went to that place later and couldn't even get close."

This was the information Fu Feng's informants had sent him, each piece making Fu Feng want to howl in rage. He immediately ordered, "Capture Lin Yu, capture that fat man! Bring them to me!"

The command of the Fu Family's young master was like a royal decree in the Immortal Realm, not something to be taken lightly.

Thus, merely twenty days later, Lin Yu and the fat man were both delivered to Fu Feng.

"You, are you Lin Yu?" Fu Feng looked coldly at the young man before him, handsome yet seemingly timid.

Lin Yu was also secretly sizing up Fu Feng; the man before him had narrow eyes that seemed to glare murderously, as if he knew his wife had been unfaithful, his face full of sinister intent. His build was well-proportioned, dressed in luxurious clothing.

On the way here, Lin Yu had already learned who this man was—the esteemed young master of the Fu Family, a true heavyweight in the Immortal Realm.

Lin Yu hadn't known how he'd offended this person; he was ambushed on the way home and sustained serious injuries. It was only later that he heard the son of the Fu Family was also one of the Seventy-two Great Abilities!

This made Lin Yu understand instantly: the retaliation had come, so swiftly and unexpectedly.

"Yes, I am Lin Yu. May I know why you've captured me?" Lin Yu forced himself to remain calm; he didn't want to be looked down upon, didn't want to show his weakness. So, he looked Fu Feng straight in the eyes, "It seems... there's no grievance between us, right?"

"No grievance?" Fu Feng cracked a smile, one seemingly filled with bloodlust, "If there was no grievance, I, Fu Feng, would have no reason to trouble such a minor figure as you. Speak..."

"Speak...what?" Lin Yu looked at Fu Feng, puzzled.

"Tell me how your good friend destroyed... my Daoist Sect!" When Fu Feng said this, he was grinding his teeth, his voice overflowed with a murderous intent, "Also, tell me... some information about him, like where he's from, what's his name? For instance, how... I can find him! If your information satisfies me, then not only will I not kill you, but I might also reward you, perhaps even grant you a great fortune!"

"Master Fu, Master Fu... can I speak first? I have something to say!" The middle-aged fat man, having hidden himself well only to be easily uncovered, was terrified to realize who had captured him. He knew all too well the extent of Master Fu's power and aspirations, which a mere Immortal Realm Daoist Sect could not fully demonstrate. He had once considered pledging himself to Fu Feng, but the man had no interest in him.

Fu Feng glanced at the middle-aged fat man, his slender eyes narrowing slightly, then nodded, "Speak then."

"That person... that person..." The middle-aged fat man stammered for a while, then suddenly realized he knew almost nothing about him!

"Hmm?" Fu Feng's expression changed slightly, "Are you mocking me?"

"No... Absolutely not! Master Fu, please hear me out!" the middle-aged fat man said hurriedly, "I only know that his name is Chu Xiaohei, and I don't know anything else, not even I nor Lin Yu! Because the whole incident happened so quickly! It seemed like Chu Xiaohei went to the Daoist Sect... just to cause trouble!"

Fu Feng looked at Lin Yu, "Is that so?"

Lin Yu hadn't expected that the fat man would, intentionally or unintentionally, end up helping him; he immediately nodded and said, "Although I considered him a friend, I really know nothing about him..."

The middle-aged fat man hadn't intended to help Lin Yu at all; in fact, he wished that Lin Yu would be torn to pieces. However, in such a circumstance, both of them were grasshoppers on a string, neither able to escape. Therefore, they could only help and verify each other's stories, trying hard to prove that they indeed knew nothing about that person.

After hearing this, Fu Feng's face revealed a gentle smile as he said, "Since that's the case..."

The middle-aged fat man's heart leaped with joy, thinking that the scion of the great family really reasoned with principle!

"Then you can go die!" Fu Feng said, and with a flick of his finger, a ray of light shot towards the middle-aged fat man's forehead.

Spurt!

A stream of blood burst from the fat man's forehead, followed by white brain matter oozing out from the wound.

The fat man's eyes bulged out; he didn't even have the chance to beg for mercy before he was killed on the spot.

Boom!

The fat man's elixir field split open, and a small figure, the second primordial spirit, scrambled out, attempting to flee in panic.

This time, Fu Feng did not make another move, but coldly said, "I'm sparing your dog's life because I don't want to dirty my hands!"

Lin Yu was so terrified at the side that he felt like his head was about to explode, his entire body curling into a ball.

Fu Feng gave Lin Yu a slight smile, "Now, are you willing to talk? You see, I am very merciful. No matter what, this fat man was once a disciple of the Daoist Sect, and I'm giving him a chance for revival out of consideration for our fellow disciples."

As he spoke, Fu Feng's tone turned icy, "But you are different, Lin Yu. You are not yet a disciple of the Daoist Sect. If you do not tell me everything you know today, I will definitely make sure your soul is scattered and you disappear from this world forever. So, it's your choice: either be someone who never betrays a friend or preserve your own life."

Fu Feng added, "Just a friend you knew for a day."

Lin Yu looked at Fu Feng with a terrified expression, stammering, "I really don't know anything about that person... Other than his name, I know nothing. I wanted to leave with him too, but he had no intention of taking me along. I asked him... when we could meet again; he said... he said if fate allows, we'll meet in the Heavenly Realm. That's really all there is!"

"Sigh... You're not being honest." Fu Feng rubbed his face vigorously and sighed. Since that was the case, "Then you can go die..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, ready to point at Lin Yu.

For a great cultivator at the peak of the Ascension stage, killing a minor cultivator like Lin Yu would be effortlessly simple.

Just at that moment, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out, "Fu Feng, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing that voice, Fu Feng trembled as if he had seen a ghost; the coldness on his face instantly melted away completely.

As Lin Yu watched in stunned silence, Fu Feng's face transformed, turning back with a smile brimming his face, "Tutu... how come you're here?"
