As everyone believed Xia Feng and his group were in deep trouble, a voice from outside shattered the town's tranquility.
Then, the captain, a peak Saint Venerable, appeared before everyone's eyes.
In the absence of Saint Emperors, a peak Saint Venerable was an invincible existence.
There were many peak Saint Venerables, but none could break through to the Saint Emperor realm, as if a chasm blocked everyone.
The young man who had been persuading Xia Feng and the others to leave shrunk his neck and cautiously withdrew.
If the captain found out he had told Xia Feng and the others to hurry and leave, wouldn't he be skinned alive?
"Hmph, a mid-stage Saint Venerable, your cultivation has not been easy. Marry me, and today's matter will be forgotten. I can even make you a vice-captain."
The man speaking was Yin Zhicheng, the captain of their team.
Now, half of any treasures emerging from the Valley of Death went into his pocket, meaning he was earning handsomely here.
Moreover, he had taken a liking to Liu Chan at first sight. Because Liu Chan was a mid-stage Saint Venerable, she would surely be of great help to him, thus instantly sparking his admiration.
Beauty might have been secondary to Yin Zhicheng, but her strength was certainly worthy of recognition.
Liu Chan ignored Yin Zhicheng's words. With this kind of trash, how could Liu Chan possibly agree? She felt disgusted even looking at him.
Yin Zhicheng, unaware that his demise was imminent, continued to boast, "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your consent. Anyway, whether you agree or not, I, Yin Zhicheng, will have you."
Seeing Liu Chan remain silent, Yin Zhicheng deliberately pointed at her and said calmly.
"Who do you think you are?" Liu Chan rebuked.
With Yin Zhicheng's disposition, he dared to have designs on her?
In this world, Liu Chan's heart belonged only to one person: Xia Feng.
She wouldn't even glance at others, be they the Heavenly Dao or the stars in the sky.
The man before her was merely a peak Saint Venerable, and he dared to dream of a swan eating a toad – a sheer fantasy.
The man was not surprised by Liu Chan's rejection, a faint smile appearing on his lips. "If you leave here, then I'll admit defeat."
He intended to force Liu Chan into submission with his strength.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt his words weren't harsh enough and pointed at Xia Feng and his group again. "These are your friends, right? In that case, all these women will stay and be my maids, and as for these men, I'll kill them directly."
Yin Zhicheng's words were incredibly arrogant, completely disregarding Liu Chan, a mid-stage Saint Venerable.
However, he possessed the strength to do so, which was why he spoke so arrogantly.
"Sister Liu Chan is deceiving us again. She's so powerful, I'm truly envious," Murong Xue said, pulling Li Yurou's sleeve and asking.
"Young Master said that your talent is excellent. You must diligently study his teachings, and then you will also become this strong. It will be your turn to protect us then," Li Yurou replied with a smile, adding a playful remark.
Murong Xue's face flushed slightly upon hearing this, and she shook her head. "That won't do, Sister. You are the most powerful."
Murong Xue was the last to arrive and the youngest. She dared not speak carelessly.
Although all these people were very easy to get along with, respecting others was never wrong.
"Heh heh... Xue'er, you are so eloquent." Li Yurou giggled merrily.
Seeing that Yin Zhicheng had finished his boasting, Xia Feng looked at him and said calmly:
"Make your final arrangements, you won't have another chance soon."
