A master of both medicine and martial arts, he picked up a beautiful CEO as his wife.

Ye Feng didn't believe a single word about "cooperation".

The Dong family's network, spanning over twenty years, from Lin's mother to Lin Yuqing, from Dongyang to Nirvana Mountain, is full of scheming.

Shang Zhi's "mutually beneficial" attitude was nothing more than an attempt to coax him into obediently opening that seal.

As soon as the door opened, the owner got what he wanted, and the first to be discarded were Ye Feng and Lin Yuqing behind him.

A person who can kill Lin Ma, plot against Nirvana Mountain, and weave all those things together into a net without making a sound, can maintain the "mutual benefit" principle.

The more flawless Shang Zhi's words seemed, the less he believed them.

"Forget about cooperation," Ye Feng said coldly. "I'll handle my own affairs! You want my boss's stuff? Dream on."

Shang Zhi wasn't angry: "Why is Doctor Ye in such a hurry? You'll have to open the door to the Hidden Meridian Hall sooner or later. Once you open the door and see what Master left behind, you'll know that some things are beyond your control."

It sounded like a persuasion, but it was really like a death sentence. Shang Zhi guessed that Ye Feng would open that door in order to find his master to break free from his death calamity. If he opened the door, he would be doing Ye Feng a favor; if he didn't open it, the death calamity wouldn't be suppressed, and the secret wouldn't be revealed or escaped.

It was a move that was doomed to fail no matter how it was played, Shang Zhi casually tossed it in front of Ye Feng.

He didn't say much more, it was true... With a flick of his sleeve, he led a group of people behind him slowly toward the shadows on the left and right sides of the Hidden Vein Hall, neither stopping nor moving.

It's just an attitude of waiting for you to open the door.

His composure was more unsettling than facing a weapon.

When facing each other with weapons, Ye Feng still has the Peak Sun Technique to fight to the death, but when he's certain to win, he can't find a way to exert his strength.

The other party is certain you'll walk right into their trap. This certainty is like a visible hand pushing him towards that cloud-shrouded peak.

He ignored Shang Zhi and escorted Lin Yuqing and Shen Yu directly into the Hidden Vein Hall. Shang Zhi's men did not stop them.

As they climbed the mountain, the gazes hidden in the darkness remained fixed on him, Lin Yuqing, and Shen Yu, yet no one came up to stop them.

This release confirmed his judgment: before the door opened, people wanted to protect his life.

The Zangmai Hall is located on the top of the main peak of Nirvana Mountain.

The stone hall was ancient and solemn, half-hidden in the clouds and mist. But at this moment, a thin film, visible to the naked eye, flowing like water, was shrouded outside the gate of the Hidden Vein Hall—a secret array that the master had personally set up before leaving.

This light film is very thin, yet it seems incredibly thick.

The flow within was a kind of charm that Ye Feng didn't understand but felt familiar with, as if someone had plucked a taut string deep within his mind.

The main gate was tightly closed, and the light membrane flowed, sealing the entire hall completely.

Shen Yu came over and tried to touch it with the true energy of Nirvana Mountain. As soon as his finger touched it, the light membrane flashed instantly, and a gentle but undeniable force pushed him away.

That power wasn't harmful, but it had an arrogant, repulsive quality. Shen Yu had been cultivating Nirvana Mountain for a bit longer than Ye Feng, and the true energy in his body was all from the direct lineage of his master, but even he didn't recognize this seal.

"Junior brother, this formation... doesn't recognize it." Shen Yu said solemnly, "When Master set up the formation, he probably didn't recognize the true energy of Nirvana Mountain, but... something more important."

Something even more important. Shen Yu didn't say it aloud, but Ye Feng vaguely knew a thing or two. His master had locked this door shut because he recognized that one thing, which was probably only locked within him.

Ye Feng let out a breath and slowly walked over.

He reached out and channeled his true energy to his fingertips, gently touching the light membrane.

Suddenly—

The once warm light membrane suddenly became violent! A mysterious aura flowed back along his fingertips, as if searching for and discerning something. Ye Feng felt that the wisp of innate peak yang within his body resonated strangely with this seal, like a key inserted into a keyhole specially designed for it.

The resonance was both domineering and intimate, as if this seal had been waiting for his peak of brilliance for a long time. There was even a terribly absurd feeling that this seal had existed only for a man like him from the very beginning.

"Buzz!"

An ancient-looking line of text appeared on the light membrane, glowing softly:

"Those who hold the peak of Yang, enter."

Ye Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Shang Zhi hadn't lied to him; the seal truly belonged to the Peak Sun. In the entire world, only he was capable of opening this door.

The formation set up by his master had long anticipated this day, when a person bearing the power of the "Peak Yang" would stand before him. This karmic connection sent chills down his spine; his own "Peak Yang," his own calamity, his journey north—all had been orchestrated long ago.

Just as his emotions were fluctuating, an unexpected event occurred.

Lin Yuqing suddenly groaned, clutched her chest, staggered a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

"Yuqing!" Ye Feng was startled and quickly turned around to pull her back.

Lin Yuqing's face was pale, and sweat began to bead on her forehead. The thousand-year-old pure yin within her body was almost going crazy. As she approached the Hidden Vein Hall, she frantically tried to rush out and pounce on it!

It was no longer just a soft murmur; it was a tearing sound that bordered on madness. The wisp of pure yin seemed to have found what it was looking for, and it desperately tried to break free from Lin Yuqing's body and embrace the thing in that hall, regardless of anything else.

Lin Yuqing swayed, almost falling, grabbing Ye Feng's hand: "My Qi...it, it's going there..." The panic on her fair face made Ye Feng's heart tremble. Lin Yuqing gripped Ye Feng's arm tightly, "Ye Feng, what...is...in this hall!"

Ye Feng pulled Lin Yuqing into his arms and channeled his peak Yang True Qi through their combined meridians, suppressing Lin Yuqing's madness. It took a long time for Lin Yuqing to calm down, but the whiteness on her face wouldn't fade.

Ye Feng only realized how arrogant Lin Yuqing was after that push. With a "whoosh," the peak yang energy poured directly into their meridians, like a bucket of hot water being poured into a boiling oil pan. It took several minutes before the peak yang energy forced her pure yin back into her body, but the thirst she felt was terrifying.

That longing was practically telling him: the things in the Hidden Vein Hall were inextricably linked to her fate!

He looked at the Hidden Vein Hall, and his heart sank.

The treasure left by the master, the method to overcome death and tribulation, is in that Hidden Vein Hall.

but……

That secret, the secret about "her"...

Is it also in that Zangmai Hall?

He reached out and touched the light screen that read, "Those who possess the Peak Sun may enter." His fingers trembled slightly. He knew the answer lay in the Hidden Vein Hall.

He wanted to know what the answer was hidden in that Hidden Vein Hall, but why did he suddenly have a sense of foreboding? Perhaps when he opened the door of that Hidden Vein Hall, some things could never be returned to the past…

He took a deep breath, then unleashed all the power of his peak Yang energy, forcefully smashing open the door...
