"The princess need not worry about this. We adults are aware that you have already gathered some information about the envoy's team. I won't say much more. Regardless of the methods the princess employs, as long as you can kill the prince, we adults will surely reward you generously!"
The man boldly spoke these words to Alfalfa. She narrowed her eyes, a flash of killing intent appearing, but it was not directed at him; he did not possess that qualification. She was merely curious about who would be willing to offer enough wealth to buy several cities, which prince of the Qin Empire could it be?
Huang Tian, as the original first heir of the Qin Empire, was hardly a secret among the royal families of various empires. The latest news clearly indicated that a prince from the Qin Empire had supported the crown prince, rendering Huang Tian useless. But was that truly the case?
Everyone knew that even if Huang Tian had fallen from grace, his former glory might still allow him to become a legend once more. At that time, it would not be so easy for the crown prince to secure his position. Naturally, to avoid such possibilities, the princes supporting the crown prince would not remain idle.
However, Alfalfa was even more concerned that she was evidently not the first to be involved in such collusion. Long before the Celestial Moon Empire and Ice Origin Empire, a certain noble from the Qin Empire had likely already conspired with others. Therefore, there were many reasons worth investigating as to how this Envoy Group could safely arrive at Sky Abyss Empire!
The Dark Exchange had ambushed the sword that the Qin Empire's Envoy Group was set to present, which was merely a test by Princess Alfalfa. Unfortunately, just days later, she was robbed at a trading point outside the city. The connection between these two events was likely not mere coincidence!
Thinking of this, Alfalfa lowered her eyelids and spoke again: "In that case, go back and tell your master to wait and see. Let him prepare what he needs to prepare; I will soon provide a response!"
Her words were straightforward and exuded confidence. The man smiled upon hearing Princess Alfalfa's statement, seemingly believing that since it came from her, it would surely come to fruition. Perhaps this time he would return without facing the reprimands he had received on previous occasions!
"That sounds excellent! Then I shall take my leave, Your Highness!"
"Do not see me off..."
With a creak, the door opened and he left. Once again, only Alfalfa remained in the room. She gazed at the door for a while; an unusual glint flashed in her eyes before a mysterious figure appeared beside her!
"You must have heard everything; thus, I need not remind you what to do. This time, make sure things are handled beautifully. I need to know the true strength of Huang Tian's team so that I can make proper arrangements for when he presents himself in two days!" Alfalfa spoke without turning around, as if addressing thin air.
"Understood..." The mysterious figure vanished again, leaving only this response hanging in the air! Was this person a shadow?
"I don't care if you are a prince from a divine altar or a fallen prince; once you step onto my territory, you will obediently pay with your life!" Alfalfa revealed a cruel smile that contrasted sharply with her enchanting face but exuded an extraordinary beauty; perhaps her ruthless expression was another form of allure!
...Daylight inevitably returned once more. After the turmoil of the previous night and two days of calmness, most citizens chose to forget; ignorant people would never know the truth behind events. Meanwhile, those who personally witnessed and instigated the chaos wandered through streets and alleys!
Ye Feng rose early and searched through all the alchemy shops in Ning Cang City but ultimately failed to obtain any supplementary materials for the Heavenly Origin Pill. He had already handed over the Nine Origin Root and Flame Dragon Grass he acquired to Guang Jingfu for refinement, although this cheap master suspected him regarding the source of his items.
However, this matter is hard to say. The lies told have not been exposed, and Ye Feng knows that his achievements in Alchemy are far inferior to Guang Jingfu's, so he entrusted everything to him without worry. All that remains is to purchase as many materials as possible to help him obtain more Heavenly Origin Pills!
However, the rarity of these materials left Ye Feng feeling helpless. In the end, he arrived at Qianyue Pharmacy, the most expensive and comprehensive place in Ning Cang City. As soon as the Boss of the pharmacy saw Ye Feng, he greeted him with a smile and personally attended to him! He recognized this esteemed customer!
"Welcome back, sir! This time, we have plenty of Mystic Heaven Pills prepared. How many would you like? Just let me know!" the Boss said enthusiastically.
Ye Feng smiled but did not immediately state his purpose. He simply moved to a quiet corner of the pharmacy. The Boss saw this and knew he had a bigger demand, instantly beaming with joy; those in this line of work rely on big transactions!
However, Ye Feng's next words left him completely dumbfounded!
"Shopkeeper, I don't need Mystic Heaven Pills anymore. Do you have anything better?" The implication was clearly that he was looking for the top-tier martial arts pill in the Divine Martial Continent—the Heavenly Origin Pill!
Unfortunately, such items are indeed priceless and hard to find. Unless they are black market goods, no Martial Saint would sell such things! They would rather consume them themselves!
Seeing the Shopkeeper's dilemma, Ye Feng sighed inwardly. He hadn't had much hope to begin with, and now it seemed completely hopeless. He lowered his expectations and spoke again: "Or perhaps some special Alchemy materials, like Nine Origin Roots..."
The Shopkeeper was once again speechless. Looking at Ye Feng's expression was like watching someone eat a rotten egg; he thought this guy wasn't trying to make a scene, was he? These items were clearly not available through regular channels!
Ye Feng felt awkward and decided not to say anything more. He turned to leave, but at that moment, he sensed a Divine Consciousness locking onto him and couldn't help but feel alert. Following his instincts, he looked over! To his surprise, it was Bai Jing sneaking behind him!
Ye Feng's mouth twitched as he pretended nothing was wrong while walking out of the pharmacy. Bai Jing, having been discovered, awkwardly followed him out!
"I say, what do you want? There's no need to sneak around when following me!"
"I just wanted to see what you've been busy with lately!" Bai Jing explained sheepishly, knowing he was in the wrong. With a slight blush on his face, he looked increasingly feminine, causing Ye Feng to momentarily lose focus and recall last night's events, making his heart race!
"Hey, just focus on raising your own cultivation level instead of following me around. I really have matters to attend to these days and can't spare time for drinking with you!" Ye Feng said earnestly. He also understood that he seemed to have neglected this good friend!
Between big men, there's no need for so much pretentiousness!
Bai Jing pouted as if feeling wronged, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, which made Ye Feng twitch again. Alright, he was afraid of this tactic! He hadn't noticed before that this guy could really sulk like a woman!
"Stop messing around. I promise you, in a few days, we'll have a good drink together. Now, hurry back!" Ye Feng said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Bai Jing broke into a smile, but the smile sent a chill down Ye Feng's spine. He immediately felt goosebumps and an ominous feeling arose within him! He noticed that something was off about Bai Jing's gaze; the cold light emanating from her depths was not simply her usual self!
"Who are you!" Ye Feng realized something and quickly took several steps back, shouting sharply! The person before him was definitely not Bai Jing!
Sure enough, 'Bai Jing' smiled even more exaggeratedly, but eventually quieted down, revealing a demeanor of a delicate girl as she charmingly said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Ye Feng felt disgusted all over; although the voice was soft and delicate, he couldn't associate it with Bai Jing's appearance. He then unleashed his aura! A tremendous force surged forward!
This power instantly made 'Bai Jing' turn pale with fright, revealing her true identity! It turned out she was the woman from the Ethereal Clan!
"When did your realm rise so dramatically!" The woman regained her normal demeanor and said with apprehension.
Ye Feng hadn't expected that this woman had been following him! However, he couldn't understand why a woman from the Ethereal Clan would actively seek him out when they usually avoided him.
"You don't need to worry about that. What I want to ask is why you're following me!" Ye Feng reprimanded without courtesy! Although he couldn't guarantee he could keep her here, if he really tried, with his current strength, it wouldn't be impossible to kill her in one strike!
Sensing a slight change in him, the woman instinctively took a few steps back and then revealed her true intentions!
"Since we parted that day, I feel there are still many things left unsaid between us. And you know some secrets of our Ethereal Clan; I think it's time to find you!"
Her words were off-topic, and Ye Feng frowned, not quite understanding what she meant! The woman remained calm and smiled slightly as she said, "There's no need to be so defensive. Trust me; I mean you no harm. On the contrary, I can help you get what you want!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng sensed something was amiss. He understood that unusual circumstances often indicated something sinister and coldly laughed: "Just say it directly; what do you want? I believe someone like you wouldn't engage in a losing deal!"
Since the other party claimed they could provide what Ye Feng wanted, it was clear they had been following him for several days and knew he needed the Heavenly Origin Pill. These individuals were well-versed in spatial secret techniques, which made them worthy of attention. Ye Feng wanted to understand why they had set their sights on him.
Then, the woman spoke in a friendly manner, "You can call me Ling'er. To be honest, I didn't notice you at first, but later your performance amazed me. Your growth has also caught the attention of the elders of our clan, so we intend to make a deal with you!"
A deal? Another deal! Ye Feng narrowed his eyes, eager to know how many members of the Ethereal Clan were backing this woman. Based on his previous discoveries, her status within the Ethereal Clan should be significant, suggesting that their interest in him was not trivial.
At that moment, Xuan Lao in Ye Feng's mind finally couldn't hold back and spoke up.
"Listen to her for now! Find out what the Ethereal Clan wants! Don't rush to interrupt!"
Xuan Lao had always been furious with the Ethereal Clan. There might be a deeper story behind this situation, but if he could temporarily set aside his hatred, it seemed that Ling'er's words were indeed compelling.
Ye Feng lowered his head; at this moment, he unexpectedly thought of the Flying Spirit Lion. It had been several days since he last sought that fellow, and he wondered how it had been doing lately.
Just then, Ling'er spoke again, "If you want to know more, then follow me. I promise you won't be disappointed!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng became cautious. Following this woman seemed too risky. Although he was powerful now, if he were surrounded by members of the Ethereal Clan, the outcome could be dire. Yet Xuan Lao urged him in his mind:
"Go with her! Don't be afraid; at a critical moment, you still have the Heavenly River Power for self-protection! I want to know what conspiracy this clan, which should have been eradicated ten thousand years ago, is up to!"
