A United Commerce event that shook all of Su Province.
Under Ye Fei’s sudden rise, the event ultimately came to a lackluster end.
But unlike in the past, when the United Commerce would wrap up and the influential figures would rush to manage their earnings, this time, not a single one had left.
Because Ye Fei hadn’t departed yet, and how could they dare leave in his presence?
Inside the estate villa.
Ye Fei sat cross-legged at the head on a mahogany Taishi Chair, while the major players of Su Province’s thirteen cities sat solemnly on both sides, staring intently at the center of the hall.
For at this moment, someone was downtrodden, prostrate on the floor!
This person considered himself Ye Fei’s enemy, yet Ye Fei had never deemed him worthy of attention—Bai Que!
"I didn’t expect that you would turn out to be Mr. Ye! No wonder the results of the assassination attempt I ordered came back with such alarming information. What now? Was crippling my son not enough? Do you intend to kill me too? Aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?" Bai Que glared at Ye Fei with resentment.
Ye Fei, however, only smiled faintly and responded, "Bai Que, do you know why you’ve managed to live until now?"
"Why? Because I plan carefully for everything, tread cautiously, and my only failure was not realizing you were Mr. Ye!" Bai Que sneered.
"Wrong!" Ye Fei shook his head slightly.
"Wrong? What did I get wrong?" Bai Que asked, puzzled.
With a flick of Ye Fei’s finger, a gray beam of light shot out from his fingertips, piercing straight through Bai Que’s forehead.
"The reason you’ve lived until now is simply because I never considered you worth my attention!" Ye Fei spoke casually, as though what he had just extinguished was not a life, but merely an ant.
As for the influential figures present, they all gulped heavily.
None dared to utter even a single complaint.
Seeing this, Ye Fei turned to Guo Wenyuan and said, "Guo Wenyuan."
"Present!" Guo Wenyuan immediately stood up.
Ye Fei smiled and said, "I’m not particularly knowledgeable about business matters, so I’ll have to trouble the Guo Family to manage the assets for me."
"Rest assured, Mr. Ye. We’ve already discussed it. I will spearhead the effort with Chen Xing to liquidate half of your assets and relocate the other half to the Yuntai area. Does this meet your approval?" Guo Wenyuan replied.
"That will do," Ye Fei nodded slightly, then turned to Chen Xing and said, "Many thanks in that case, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Xing quickly rose and cupped his hands in acknowledgment.
However, while Chen Xing appeared calm and collected, inwardly he was bitterly smiling: "Ye Fei... Mr. Ye! Who would’ve thought! Who would’ve thought! A man such as this—a peerless dragon among men—and I failed to see it! No wonder he once said his arrogance was justified, a depth that even I couldn’t discern! It turns out this clarity was beyond me."
"I’ve already missed the best chance to forge a connection with him!"
Thinking this, Chen Xing couldn’t help but glance enviously at Guo Wenyuan and He Ming.
Yet it wasn’t just Chen Xing envying them; the same envy flickered in Jia Feng’s eyes as he slowly stood up and said, "Mr. Ye, in this United Commerce martial competition, you are undoubtedly the victor. The prize Jia prepared has already been brought outside; may I invite you to inspect it?"
Qingtian Three Choppers?
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei immediately laughed and said, "Bring them in then!"
Jia Feng promptly nodded to Elder Liang beside him, who immediately strode out the door. Before long, he returned holding three immensely heavy cleavers, placing them before Ye Fei.
"Mr. Ye! The Qingtian Three Choppers are here. Please take a look!" Elder Liang said respectfully.
Ye Fei gave a slight nod, his gaze fixed on the three uniquely shaped cleavers before him. A smile instantly spread across his face.
Because he could sense traces of Devil Essence emanating from them. Though faint, they were enough to confirm that these three cleavers were indeed, as Master Ma had speculated, forged from three ancient Evil Blades.
"Dragon Teeth, Tiger Wings, Dog God—seems the aura does indeed belong to these three ancient Evil Blades. However, the blades were destroyed and reforged into cleavers. To wield them, it will be necessary to unite the three into one!"
With that thought, Ye Fei immediately grew excited.
Though the memories of Soul-controlling Demon contained countless Divine Weapons, those were merely remnants of its past. For Ye Fei, there was nothing more thrilling than refining the cleavers into his own Magic Treasure.
Thus, Ye Fei reached out with a single hand, touching each cleaver in turn.
Instantly, the dragon, tiger, and dog heads adorning the handles shattered, leaving only the cleaver blades floating before Ye Fei.
The Void Alchemy Technique could also function as the Void Refining Technique!
Ye Fei flipped his hand, summoning his inner flame to envelop the cleavers, beginning the process of refining them into a Magic Treasure.
As for the influential figures present, how could they have witnessed such a spectacle before? Each was utterly stunned by Ye Fei’s masterful skill.
Even Elder Liang, a seasoned Martial Artist, was rendered speechless, staring slack-jawed in amazement.
The sky shifted from black to white and back to black again—a full day and night passed.
These figures remained seated, motionless, watching Ye Fei refine the artifact, forgetting even basic necessities like eating.
Finally, as dawn broke faintly, Ye Fei suddenly let out a sharp shout, his fingers tracing intricate arrays in the void. These formations injected into the blade formed from the merged cleavers before him, and Ye Fei laughed, "It is done!"
A small, translucent blade with an amber-like glow descended into Ye Fei’s hand.
"Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye, what have you been doing this past day and night? How did those three cleavers transform into such a small blade?" Elder Liang couldn’t resist asking.
"I was refining an artifact, of course! As for why it became so small, it’s because I willed it so!"
Ye Fei replied, summoning the blade with a single hand. It grew rapidly in the wind, transforming into a towering, peerless saber now firmly grasped in Ye Fei’s hand.
Astonishment! It was simply miraculous!
Everyone witnessing this extraordinary scene was filled with awe, their respect for Ye Fei deepened further.
Ye Fei, too, was in good spirits as he laughed, "This shall be my first Magic Treasure. Given its origin from the Qingtian Three Choppers, I’ll name it Heavenly Slash!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Ye, on acquiring such a treasure!"
The influential figures immediately rose to their feet, shouting in unison.
At this moment, Ye Fei had completely won over everyone present.
In the days that followed.
Ye Fei spent nearly all his time within the estate villa, conversing with Heavenly Slash through his Divine Sense.
The bond between cultivator and Magic Treasure required frequent communication to ensure mastery in its use.
But something gnawed at Ye Fei’s mind—though Heavenly Slash functioned wonderfully, it lacked a core spirit within.
Divine Weapons must possess sentience. If he could find a suitable core spirit to merge with Heavenly Slash, creating an Artifact Spirit, the blade would truly be complete!
At that moment, a knock sounded at the door, and Ye Fei glanced over with a smile.
"She’s here? I hope this intelligence expert doesn’t disappoint me!"
