"Miss Fang? Why are you concerned about him?"

The Master of All Things looked at Wang Junze with curiosity and asked, "As far as I know, hasn't Lord Dugu already intervened to block him for you? At least for the short term, Miss Fang shouldn't be causing you any trouble."

"Being cautious is never a bad thing."

Shaking his head, Wang Junze continued, "I've heard that over at the Nether Sea, there seems to be a Dragon Turtle causing quite a stir lately. Didn't Miss Fang make it public that she would go to sea to take care of the Dragon Turtle? Has she left yet?"

"That, I don't know."

The Master of All Things shook his head and replied, "However, it's true that Miss Fang, who is skilled in alchemy, has an interest in such demon beasts."

"Besides the Blood Spirit Pill, does Miss Fang refine other elixirs?" Wang Junze asked again.

"Of course!"

On this point, the Master of All Things didn't hold back and answered casually, "The Blood Spirit Pill is the most famous, but the elixirs he can refine are far from limited to just that one. In fact, Miss Fang is a true Alchemy Master. If he manages to advance further, he might even have the hope of refining a Divine Pill, which would interest even a Saint Realm powerhouse."

After a pause, the Master of All Things sighed and said, "If you ask me, if there's a chance, you might as well find a way to reconcile with him."

"I had no intention of offending him. Killing Chen Ling was just due to the circumstances."

With a shrug, Wang Junze replied softly, "As for whether we can reconcile with him, that depends on Lord Dugu's intention."

After hesitating for a moment, the Master of All Things lowered his voice a bit and said, "Brother Ye, I consider you one of us, so I'll let you in on a secret. Don't be fooled by how Dugu Feng seems to oppose Miss Fang at every turn. In reality... the relationship between the two of them, privately, isn't bad at all."

"That's all I'll say, Brother Ye, take care of yourself. I'm leaving!"

After saying this, the Master of All Things turned around and left.

Wang Junze slightly raised an eyebrow and didn't continue to press for answers, but he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.

This news was something Wang Junze had never expected.

He had been gathering information on Miss Fang, partly considering using him as a backup plan.

After all, his true intention was to kill Dugu Feng!

Previously, he even considered whether to seek refuge with Miss Fang and use him against Dugu Feng. Now it seems, luckily he didn't do that. Otherwise, he might truly have dug his own grave.

...

Time flew by, and half a month passed again.

As planned by Wang Junze, with those four Other Shore Flowers, Pei Haoran successfully boosted the reputation of the Four Seas Commerce Association. Now, quite a few people from the association have arrived in Netherworld City to help Pei Haoran establish a presence.

Although their reputation and credibility are still far from comparable to the Netherworld Auction, the Four Seas Commerce Association has managed to make a significant name for itself.

As for the news about the Dragon Turtle, it has spread like wildfire, drawing many demon cultivators into a frenzy, rushing to enter the Nether Sea for a chance to slay the Dragon Turtle.

Meanwhile, Dugu Feng, who had been in seclusion, finally emerged in a high-profile manner, revealing his Entering the Path cultivation, stunning the entire Nether Sea.

Of course, as Dugu Feng's subordinate, Wang Junze naturally rushed to the Netherworld Mansion to offer his congratulations.

In fact, Wang Junze was not the only one to congratulate; the immense Netherworld Mansion was crowded, with long queues even at the entrance. If Wang Junze hadn't recently gained fame, he might not even qualify to enter the mansion in today's grand scene.

Very soon, Jiao Yang personally came to escort Wang Junze to the side hall.

"Let me introduce you. This is Ye Piaoling, another one of the lord's new subordinates. Don't be deceived by his mere Void Realm cultivation; his strength is definitely not below mine."

Jiao Yang appeared exceedingly enthusiastic, and as soon as he spoke, he immediately elevated Wang Junze's status.

Slightly cupping his fist, Wang Junze softly said, "Ye Piaoling, at your service, fellow cultivators."

Sweeping his gaze around, he saw at least a dozen people present in the side hall, with the weakest possessing Heaven-Stepping cultivation, and among them, three wielding Void Realm power. Clearly, these were Dugu Feng's confidants.

Of course, Wang Junze now counted among them as well.

"So you're Ye Piaoling? Young, but quite daring. Let me ask you, since you took the Other Shore Flower, why didn't you give it all to the lord? Instead, you sent it to the Master of All Things and had the Netherworld Auction auction it off?"

Snorting coldly, an elder sitting to the left of the central table in the side hall, holding a pipe, took a puff and was the first to question.

"And who might you be?"

Raising an eyebrow, the smile on Wang Junze's face faded as he casually retorted, "The Other Shore Flower was obtained by me. How I choose to handle it is my affair. Even the lord hasn't inquired, so who are you to question me?"

Since the other party started with an accusatory stance, Wang Junze certainly did not intend to go easy, directly countering with a sharp retort.

"Outrageous! Elder Chen is a senior elder of the Netherworld Mansion, and even the lord gives him some respect. How dare you, a youngster, show such disrespect!"

Before the elder could respond, another person immediately jumped up, pointing at Wang Junze and shouting.

"Crack!"

Almost the moment the opponent opened his mouth, Wang Junze's figure flickered like a shadow, swiftly approaching, and with a slight exertion of his hand, he directly broke the opponent's finger.

It was not until Wang Junze returned to his original spot that the opponent's scream followed.

Too fast!

From bursting into action to returning to his original spot, the entire process took less than the blink of an eye. It felt as though Wang Junze hadn't moved at all, yet he had already broken the opponent's finger. Those with slightly weaker skills couldn't even see Wang Junze's movement—it was all over in an instant.

"This is the first time. If anyone dares to point a finger at me again, next time... I'll chop his hand off!"

Displaying a hint of defiance on his face, Wang Junze spoke slowly. Yet the chilling words instantly silenced the entire side hall.

It should be noted that although the person who just spoke was merely in the Heaven-Stepping Realm, he was still considered quite powerful within that realm. Even so, in front of Wang Junze, he couldn't withstand a single move. Let alone counterattacking, he couldn't even block.

No one doubted Wang Junze's words. At that moment, when he could break the finger, he could naturally chop off the hand.

No one expected that Wang Junze would be so bold. Clearly, he was just a newcomer, yet he didn't seem to regard anyone.

Initially, everyone intended to give Wang Junze a lesson, but unexpectedly, not even one encounter and they were disciplined by Wang Junze instead.

The key point was that Wang Junze's displayed strength was incredibly formidable.

Not to mention Heaven-Stepping, even those in the Void Realm had no confidence they could withstand Wang Junze's strike.
