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

The entire Tianheng Dongyang branch was wiped out.

Su Man got her wish. After handing over the evidence and kicking her drug addiction, Su Man quietly resigned from all her positions at Tianheng, changed her name, and left Dongyang City. Before leaving, she specially sent a letter to Ye Feng, saying, "I will remember the great kindness of Doctor Ye. If I am ever of any use in the future, I will do my utmost!"

A former enemy has now become a potential mole. Ye Feng has been treating people for many years and understands that people's hearts are the most unpredictable. But it is through this kind of "bonding people with kindness and righteousness" that he can make his network of human relationships passed down from his sect more and more solid. Saving one person creates an indebted relationship, which becomes a life-saving net when it matters most.

After this great battle, the Lin and Zhu families gained immense prestige and became the undisputed first and second most powerful forces in Dongyang City. Lin Zhenshan boasted to everyone he met about his future son-in-law's strategic brilliance, and he couldn't stop smiling. Meanwhile, Zhu Hongsheng, taking advantage of this momentum, also made the Zhu family's business even more prosperous.

In Dongyang, which has been reshaped by the four families, the Lin family has become the dominant force, and the Lin-Zhu alliance is unshakeable.

Everything seemed to be moving in the best possible direction.

But Ye Feng's brows furrowed more and more tightly each day.

Because he really couldn't hold on any longer to his death!

That night came again, and it was more ferocious than ever before!

Only five days had passed since the last attack, and Ye Feng had a bad feeling. In the past few days, he had forced himself not to use his true essence easily, but the death energy did not leave him any trace.

Before midnight, the deathly aura suddenly and violently rebounded without warning. This time, the deathly aura not only came suddenly and fiercely, but it was like a ferocious beast whose shackles had been completely broken, tearing and attacking wildly along his blood vessels.

Ye Feng didn't even have time to sit cross-legged and regulate his breathing. His vision went black, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "whoosh," which sprayed onto the ground in a shocking manner!

The supremely powerful Yang Qi and the supremely Yin Qi of the peak True Qi were violently clashing within Ye Feng's body. His body, which was known as "once in a thousand years," had at this moment turned into a ball of flame, threatening to burn its master alive.

"Ye Feng!~"

Lin Yuqing practically ran in and caught him as he was about to collapse to the ground, her face deathly pale.

Without thinking too much, she immediately sat down next to him and extended her arm to him.

However, this time, Lin Yuqing's transfer of the Yin energy into his body was like a drop in the ocean. The death energy was too fierce and intense. Ye Feng mobilized all his true energy, and Lin Yuqing almost exhausted the Yin energy she held. Both of them had hot sweat streaming down their foreheads for a full hour before they finally managed to suppress the death energy!

When the two finished mediating, their faces were extremely pale. Lin Yuqing almost fainted from lack of breath. He had to lift her up so much that she didn't even have the strength to stretch her arms. Her face was completely bloodless!

Seeing the woman in his arms, whom he had almost drained dry, Ye Feng felt a pang of heartache, as if his heart was being slashed open. "I can't take it anymore," Ye Feng said for the first time, his voice heavy with weariness as he looked at the waning moon outside the window. "The intervals between each encounter are getting shorter and shorter, and the backlash is getting stronger and stronger. My so-called 'harmony' is just a temporary fix. It all depends on whether your Yin energy can withstand it. At this rate, it will probably last three months at most. Even if I drain all your Yin energy, you still won't be able to hold on."

The phrase "at that time" was left unsaid, but everyone understood what it meant—at that time, the oil would run out and the lamp would go out, beyond saving.

Lin Yuqing nestled in his arms, weak but stubborn, she held his hand tightly. "Then... let's hurry, let's go to Nirvana Mountain, there must be a way to cure it completely."

"Hmm," Ye Feng said, holding her hand, but there was no sign of relief in his eyes. "This tribulation is nearing its end. We must expedite the path to eradication on Nirvana Mountain. However, the troubles in Dongyang are still bothering us, especially that stubborn Zhao Hui."

As expected, Zhao Hui's challenge arrived the next day!

There was no invitation, nor any threatening text message. This time, Zhao Hui came to the door on his own. He was still dressed in white, as gentle and refined as ever. However, the "cherishing talent" in his eyes had completely disappeared when he was at Tingyuxuan. All that remained in his eyes was a murderous intent of determination.

"Dr. Ye, President Lin." Zhao Hui smiled and bowed, his demeanor still impeccable. "In this gamble in the business world, I, Zhao, have lost, and I accept it wholeheartedly."

"So," he suddenly changed his tone, his laughter carrying a chilling undertone, "I'm going to play a more direct joke next."

"Three days from now, at the newly opened Tingtao Pavilion in Tianheng, north of the city, I, Zhao, will be hosting a banquet and inviting you all." He spoke slowly, deliberately emphasizing each word, "And at that time, some of the remaining merchants of Dongyang, some big names in the medical field, and a few... two people you've been wanting to see but haven't yet will also be there!"

"Two people you want to see but haven't been able to," Ye Feng heard this clearly. Zhao Hui's meaning was very clear: at the banquet three days later, a deeper force hidden behind them would appear, and they might even be able to rekindle the threads of the "Nirvana Mountain Past".

This was both a trap and a coercion. Zhao Hui had calculated one thing: Ye Feng would definitely attend that banquet because of the death calamity and "Nirvana Mountain".

"It's time to overturn the chessboard in this game of Dongyang," Zhao Hui smiled inscrutably. "Dr. Ye, President Lin, this time there are no more things in the business world to cover for you."

He threw out a sentence and walked out, looking nonchalant as if he had already won.

Ye Feng watched his departing figure with an extremely ruthless gaze.

He knew this was a real trap!

Zhao Hui doesn't know how to play business games or manipulate emotions; what he wants is to crush him and Lin Zhu in front of all the major powers in Dongyang.

And the other party is still holding onto the secret that his death is worsening?

"This battle..." Ye Feng drew his fist, but his eyes flashed with intense killing intent, "I can't avoid it, and I can't afford to!"

"Then..."

Ye Feng glanced at Lin Yuqing, a wicked smile spreading across his face, a hint of roguishness mixed with determination: "Come with me to this dinner, get to know this Young Master Hui, and see what he's got up his sleeve."

Lin Yuqing grabbed him, her clear eyes filled with worry, but also with unwavering determination: "Let's go, but this time, remember to promise me you won't fight alone again. Behind you are me and my father, the Zhu family, and your 'lifeline'. This time, we'll fight together."

Ye Feng looked at Lin Yuqing. The depression in his heart, which had been surging because of the death calamity, was actually relieved a lot by this comforting word.

Yes! When he came down the mountain, he was alone, facing death alone. But now it's different. He has someone to protect and someone to rely on.

Although this battle was fraught with peril, he was no longer alone.

"Okay." He nodded emphatically. "Let's go together!"

Three days passed quickly, and the storm over Dongyang City was about to erupt.
