At the same time, a terrifying golden True Qi swiftly flew, intercepting Li Qing’s Fire Cloud.
With a huge explosion, Li Qing staggered back several steps, a look of dread on his face.
At the same time, a man in a black cloak appeared before everyone.
"You’ve worked hard." The cloaked man nodded to the blue-robed foreigner.
Clearly, the actions of the blue-robed foreigner were all under his orders, his aim being to draw out Li Qing.
Then, the cloaked man coldly looked at Li Qing and sneered darkly, "I told you, those who betray the organization will never meet a good end. Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you can never escape the organization’s grasp."
"Deacon Hai! Please let me go, why push me so hard?" Li Qing frowned, pleading with a face full of dread.
"Let you go?" Deacon Hai laughed, coldly replied, "All traitors of the organization will be punished; no exceptions. I advise you to stop resisting and come back with me."
"If that’s the case, then I have no choice but to offend you." Seeing no room for negotiation, Li Qing braced himself and struck directly.
He knew he was no match for Deacon Hai, but even so, he had to try. He couldn’t just wait for death.
Li Qing’s move was a killing technique, a powerful Fire Cloud blade appeared before him, slicing towards Deacon Hai.
At the same time, Deacon Hai also attacked, and a golden dragon shadow appeared in front of him, rushing at Li Qing.
With a huge explosion, Li Qing cried out in pain and was sent flying.
"Who is this person? Why are they so strong? Are they reinforcements for the blue-robed foreigner?"
"A Grandmaster this strong isn’t even a match for one move?"
Seeing this scene, everyone was extremely shocked and couldn’t recover for a long time.
At the same time, they realized that if Li Qing was defeated, their outcome would certainly be very tragic.
One by one, they hid to the side, trembling with fear.
"Interesting!" Even Ye Feng was a bit surprised.
This cloaked man’s strength was indeed formidable, Li Qing had no power to fight back in front of him.
Indeed, the cloaked man possessed the strength of a Quasi-Martial Venerable, while Li Qing couldn’t even be considered a half-step Martial Venerable. How could he possibly compete?
"Poof!" At this moment, Li Qing spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.
The blood instantly turned into a vast red mist.
Taking advantage of the mist, Li Qing turned and fled rapidly, attempting to escape the cloaked man’s capture.
Clearly, Li Qing knew beforehand that he was no match for the cloaked man, so his move was to use the opponent’s strength to send himself away.
The strategy was good, but the cloaked man sneered coldly, directly forming a golden dragon claw.
The golden dragon claw lengthened in his hand, grabbing at the fleeing Li Qing.
Li Qing hadn’t gone far before he was caught by the golden dragon claw.
"Get back here!" With a roar from the cloaked man, Li Qing was dragged back immediately.
At this moment, Li Qing’s face showed an expression of terror, feeling as if the end of the world had come.
With a sound, Li Qing fell in front of the cloaked man, looking at him in panic.
"Run! Can you really run? Do you think I, Deacon Hai, am so easily fooled?" The cloaked man sneered, looking at Li Qing before him.
"Deacon Hai, spare me! If you let me go, I’ll give you whatever you want." Li Qing panicked, kneeling down, loudly begging for mercy, willing to risk everything for his life.
"Heh!" Deacon Hai sneered, unmoved.
"Really, as long as you’re willing to let me go, I’ll give you all my treasures. I mean what I say." With the cloaked man’s sneer, Li Qing became even more frantic, begging more humbly.
"I’ll give it to you now, I’ll give you everything right now." Seeing Deacon Hai unmoved, Li Qing frantically took things out.
Seven small swords, a Secret Scroll, and an Ancient Jade Gourd.
This was all of Li Qing’s belongings.
Ye Feng had seen the Seven-Star Flying Sword before, so he wasn’t surprised.
That Secret Scroll should be some organization’s secret, which didn’t interest Ye Feng.
But the moment he saw the Ancient Jade Gourd, Ye Feng was a bit unsettled.
This Ancient Jade Gourd was a Spatial Treasure capable of absorbing things, akin to the Purple Gold Gourd in Journey to the West.
Indeed, this Ancient Jade Gourd could really absorb people and living beings into it.
It could absorb not just people, but also water, various resources, and even set up pastures and farms inside.
This was where the Ancient Jade Gourd differed from the Purple Gold Gourd. The Purple Gold Gourd was cruel, dissolving everything absorbed within it.
But the Ancient Jade Gourd didn’t do that. Inside it, people and living beings could even thrive better.
This wasn’t the key point; the key was because it was a treasure, everything inside it grew very rapidly.
Meaning, if you planted herbs inside, they would grow much faster, beyond normal speed.
Measured by effect, one day inside equates to a year outside—it’s that exaggerated.
This was truly a valuable asset.
Regardless of the Seven-Star Flying Sword or the Ancient Jade Gourd, Ye Feng must get his hands on them.
Li Qing thought that by offering everything he had, he’d be spared.
But he was wrong. The cloaked man had no intention of letting him go.
He glanced at the items and said coldly, "Alright, I can take you back now. How you’re punished will be up to the organization."
"No... don’t take me back, you can’t take me back." Li Qing panicked, desperately trying to escape.
"Heh, doesn’t learn the lesson, huh?" Upon seeing this, the cloaked man sneered again, using Dragon Claw Hand to capture Li Qing once more.
This time, after catching Li Qing, the cloaked man tossed him around, leaving him in a miserable state.
On scene, Li Qing’s screams echoed incessantly.
"Hey! Can’t you at least acknowledge my existence?" At that moment, Ye Feng spoke up.
After Ye Feng spoke, the cloaked man realized there were still two cultivators not dealt with.
However, after glancing at the realm of Ye Feng and Xu Tian, the cloaked man sneered, "Just a junior Martial Lord and an intermediate Martial Lord daring to seek presence? Who gave you the confidence?"
"Get over here and face punishment!"
At his words, Ye Feng’s expression was incredibly grim.
Originally not wanting to stoop to this fool’s level, he ended up being underestimated.
If that’s the case, then don’t blame Ye Feng.
"How about we make a deal? I save you, and all your belongings go to me, how about that?" So Ye Feng looked at Li Qing and said.
"...." With Ye Feng’s words, the scene fell silent as everyone looked at Ye Feng as if he was an idiot, thinking he was courting death....
