Man is the knife, I am the fish, Ma Feng still understands this principle.

Now he has fallen into Gu Yuan's hands.

Don't be fooled by Gu Yuan's courteous demeanor and smiling face; he's certain that if he makes any small move or directly refuses, with Gu Yuan's notorious reputation, there's an eighty percent chance he will ruthlessly kill.

Ma Feng has a good background and has always been cherished by his father, Cyan Wood True Master, never suffering much nor encountering any significant setbacks.

So, he's very flustered and scared, not daring to gamble at all.

Especially when it's at the cost of his own life.

"My master gave me a Mother and Child Jade Pendant, I have the child's pendant, and my master has the mother's pendant. I can contact my master at any time within ten thousand miles."

After a moment of silence, Ma Feng spoke.

"Very well, then please have Brother Ma contact Uncle Master Cyan Wood."

Gu Yuan nodded, smiling as he said, "Tell him to come quickly, someone here wants to meet him to discuss something, give him half an hour, if he's late, he must bear the consequences."

Upon hearing this, Ma Feng's expression changed. Just as he was about to say something, Gu Yuan continued:

"Oh, and Brother Ma, it's best not to mention my name and identity. Also, remember to ask Uncle Master Cyan Wood to bring plenty of Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills, like Jade Essence Pill, Nourishing Essence Pill, Spirit Storage Pill. The more he brings, the higher your chances of survival."

"Alright, alright, Junior Brother, rest assured, I will convey this to my master."

Ma Feng felt a bit relieved, and the vigilance in his eyes eased a little, nodding repeatedly.

Gu Yuan's meaning couldn't be clearer: ask Cyan Wood True Master to bring more valuable items for ransom.

In other words, Gu Yuan didn't plan to kill and silence him, as long as he behaved, there was nothing to fear.

Then, Ma Feng took out a luminous jade pendant, activated it with True Qi under Gu Yuan's watchful eye.

Soon, the jade pendant flickered with spiritual light, emitting a deep voice:

"Feng'er, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

Ma Feng glanced at Gu Yuan, then honestly said, "Master, I'm outside the city."

Cyan Wood True Master asked, "What are you doing outside the city?"

Ma Feng hesitated and said, "Someone took me out here."

Cyan Wood True Master sensed something wasn't right and demanded, "What exactly happened? Speak!"

Ma Feng said, "This person has some grievances with you, master. He wants you to bring some Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills, the more the better, or he definitely won't let me go. He also said it's best if you arrive here within half an hour, or there will be consequences."

Cyan Wood True Master was silent for a moment, then said, "Who is this person? Can I speak with him?"

Ma Feng looked at Gu Yuan again, seeing his indifferent expression, standing still without any sign, his heart suddenly sank, and he quickly said, "Master, this person is unwilling."

"Alright, I will set off immediately."

After Cyan Wood True Master finished speaking, he cut off the connection with Ma Feng.

Forcing a smile, Ma Feng said, "Junior Brother Gu, how did I do…"

"Thank you, Brother."

Gu Yuan gently nodded, then raised his hand, and the jade pendant in Ma Feng's hand flew into his own.

Ignoring Ma Feng's eager gaze, Gu Yuan examined the jade pendant in his hand, clicking his tongue in wonder.

In his opinion, this jade pendant was somewhat like a Xianxia version of a cellphone, albeit a knock-off version, limited to communication and positioning.

Even so, it was still a decent treasure.

Then, Gu Yuan casually placed the jade pendant into his Storage Pouch, causing a twitch at the corner of Ma Feng's mouth, but he remained silent.

In his mind, he was thinking that once he escaped alive this time, he must find a way to pay back this loss.

However, Ma Feng quickly sensed something amiss. Looking up, he found Gu Yuan watching him with a half-smile.

"Junior Brother Gu, what are you…"

Gu Yuan smiled, "Thank you, Brother; your task is complete, now you can go offline."

Not good!

Ma Feng didn't know what "offline" meant, but instinctively felt danger, his whole body bristling, and without a word, prepared to use escape techniques to flee.

However, Gu Yuan had already prepared for this, and there's no way he would let him escape.

He simply waved his hand, and a force of restriction gathered, suppressing the void.

The void within a radius of several miles was instantaneously imprisoned!

Even the natural circulation of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi came to a halt.

As Ma Feng turned his body to flee, he felt an immense pressure solidify the surrounding void like an iron plate, pressing him until he could barely breathe!

His entire body was frozen in a bizarre fleeing posture, like a small fish in ice or an insect in amber, utterly motionless.

His body and cultivation may have been immobilized, but his thoughts and eyes were unaffected for the most part.

At this moment, his eyes showed intense fear, slightly shifting as if he wanted to say something.

Gu Yuan, of course, was unaffected by any restrictions, initially planning to eliminate Ma Feng, but after considering, he decided not to rush.

Cyan Wood True Master and Ma Feng were master and apprentice on the surface, but in fact, they were father and son.

Given how much Cyan Wood True Master cherished this illegitimate child Ma Feng, who knew if he'd done anything to Ma Feng.

If he killed Ma Feng now and Cyan Wood True Master found out, it might lead to complications, which would be problematic.

Gu Yuan smiled at Ma Feng and said, "Don't worry, Brother, you won't come to harm for the moment."

With that, he knocked Ma Feng unconscious and put him into the Spirit Beast Bag, then dispelled the surrounding restriction and waited patiently in place.

After about half an hour, Gu Yuan's senses tingled, and he opened his eyes.

In the distant sky, a black dot appeared.

The dot grew larger and larger, clearly a human figure wrapped in Escape Light, flying rapidly.

Gu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, watching the approaching figure without moving.

Soon, the figure came into full view.

The person was thin and dry, wearing a greenish-gray Taoist robe, with billowing sleeves and a long beard, exuding an aura of an immortal.

It was none other than Cyan Wood True Master!

Cyan Wood True Master descended from the sky, landing in front of Gu Yuan, his expression unfriendly: "I was wondering which friend was playing a joke on this old man, turns out it's you, Nephew Gu..."

His eyes fixated on Gu Yuan, showing surprise, curiosity, and suspicion, but soon returned to calmness, saying solemnly:

"I just don't know, in what way did this old man offend you, virtuous nephew? To trouble you to go to such lengths to summon me here?"

As he spoke, his Divine Thought subtly scanned several miles around, sensing only faint traces of an array but nothing unusual.

This relieved him.

Now that Ma Feng was in Gu Yuan's hands, if Gu Yuan had any formidable allies, it would be challenging to deal with due to concern for alarming them.
