Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

This action almost made Ye Yuchan laugh...

I guess Feng Tang asked them what kind of person Yun Ping was right now.

Like a young master from a large family who possesses a special magical artifact.

"Because of three words."

After making the crude gesture, Yunping put his hands on his hips, proudly raised his head, and wore a thuggish smile.

That look was incredibly provocative.

"I'm happy to!"

……

The scene became very awkward.

Feeling the gaze from the other side as if he were an idiot, Yunping felt a little embarrassed.

"Wait, what do you mean by this? Are you treating a mental patient like this?"

“Isn’t that obvious?” Surprisingly, it was Ye Yuchan, the hostage, who spoke up. “Please, this mentally challenged child, use your brain. Would a normal person cause such a big incident just because they want to?”

"Then what should we do?"

"Generally speaking, shouldn't you be protesting vehemently, jumping out to say it's for the greater good of the people or something, wanting to be a messenger of justice?"

"Or maybe you want to escalate things first, making it difficult for the boss to handle, and then use this opportunity to extort money and make a fortune?"

Yunping stared blankly at the group of people behind Feng Tang, "Is that so?"

They were all stunned for a moment, indicating...

That seems to be true.

In the past, quite a few people have come out to cause trouble. They were basically acting on impulse, jumping out to claim they were acting on behalf of justice and divine retribution to judge them, and ended up dying.

There were also those who secretly wanted to escalate things, and jumped out to threaten Feng Tangwen by saying they would take a cut or something, but they also died.

In general, both types of people have at least a purpose in getting involved in this matter.

Someone like Yunping, who has neither money nor ability...

This was their first time meeting.

Now that you mention it... is this person an idiot?!

……

So, to sum it up, Yunping had nothing better to do than eat his fill.

idle.

And that is indeed the case. Could Yunping have chosen not to get involved? Was it even necessary for him to get involved?

No, right?

If you help Yu Bai Niao resolve this literary contest, wouldn't everything be settled? Why specifically point out Feng Tang Wen's shady dealings on the chessboard?

He could have lived a carefree life, but he insisted on causing trouble at the most crucial moment.

The reason is...

He was happy to.

At that moment, for some reason, Ye Yuchan suddenly remembered someone.

Emperor Wen, Xuan Lei... that free-spirited and unrestrained man who lived a carefree life.

If we look at Emperor Wen Xuan Lei's life from God's perspective, it would be an absolutely glorious and unparalleled life of a hegemon.

But if we look at it from Emperor Wen's own perspective...

You'll find that Emperor Wen's mother was a real troublemaker, always causing trouble, messing with this family and that family, making a huge fuss and shaking the heavens and earth.

Just like Yunping now.

……

The man, with a faint smile and a carefree expression, sipped his wine and gazed calmly ahead.

His indifferent words drifted into everyone's hearts, forming a whirlwind: "No matter what, I've already taken care of this. Do whatever you want. If you want to fight, I'm ready."

Yunping waved and smiled.

"So now... do you all want to come at me together, or do you want the Calabash Brothers to save Grandpa—"

"Should we deliver them one by one?"

57. One by one, what's the rush?

"Hehe, I don't know why you, a mere mortal, have such courage. You must have some extraordinary treasure in your possession, right?"

"The ability to guide my stored spiritual roots here is probably due to the effect of that extraordinary treasure, isn't it?"

Feng Tangwen is not an idiot.

He knew that Yunping must have a backup plan; no one else would have dared to say such a thing.

If Yun Ping didn't have any extraordinary treasures, how could he have broken through the restrictions he had set up with a single kick?

If Yunping didn't have confidence, what right did he have to stand in front of me?

Feng Tangwen has always been a cautious person, as can be seen from the fact that he set up more than a dozen restrictions outside the room where he stored spiritual roots.

This seemingly ordinary young man in front of me has the ability to break through so many restrictions with a single kick. How can he say that he has no magical artifacts?

Ghosts believe.

That being said, he wasn't particularly afraid of Yunping.

Even the most powerful magical artifact is still just a magical artifact. The user is merely a mortal, so how could he possibly defeat so many people at Zuiyanglou?

But Feng Tangwen was a cautious person.

He placed one hand on Ye Yuchan's forehead beside him, his spiritual energy from the Transcendent Stage swirling around him, forming a scorching, fiery aura.

“Your companion is still in my hands. If you want her to die without suffering, you should know what to do.”

"companion?"

Yunping picked at his ear, looking completely indifferent.

"No...you've misunderstood. That girl isn't one of my companions. You can kill her if you want."

"What?!"

Ye Yuchan thought she had misheard and struggled violently in the shadowy figure's arms. "You old scoundrel, what did you say?! You just sold me out?!"

"No, I didn't take any money, so how can it be considered selling? This is called giving it away." Yunping spread his hands innocently.

"I..." Ye Yuchan shouted angrily, "Let me go right now, I'm going to twist this bastard's head off!"

“Come here.” Yunping pointed to his head. “If you don’t twist my head off today, you’ll be my granddaughter.”

Feng Tang was stunned.

Not only him, but the dark figure who held the knife to Ye Yuchan's neck was also stunned.

Are hostages all like this these days?

It shouldn't be something like, "Ahhh, help me! Help me!" or a heroic sacrifice like, "Don't worry about me, unleash your magic weapon and blast them to smithereens!"

This is the normal course of development!

The shadowy figure felt like there was something wrong with his thought process, and for a moment, he awkwardly turned his head away, wanting to see what his boss would say.

The instant his gaze left Ye Yuchan—

Ye Yuchan grinned and smiled.

A burst of white light flashed.

A hand suddenly appeared in the center of the black screen, followed by an irresistible and terrifying force that pressed down.

Boom!

A muffled thud.

Blood flowed from the young man's palm, and the dark shadow, like a broken doll, was embedded in the ground.

Yunping slowly released his right hand, revealing the twisted skull of the shadowy figure, covered in blood and unrecognizable as human.

"Honestly, couldn't you have done it sooner..."

Ye Yuchan touched her snow-white neck; it hurt a little, but there were no wounds.

"I'm just afraid he'll hurt you. You're my precious apprentice."

"Tch..." Ye Yuchan blushed slightly, turned her head away, and at the same time took a step to hide behind Yun Ping. "I'll leave the rest to you."

"no problem."

Yunping flicked his hand, sending the blood from his palm flying.

No one expected Yunping to make a move so suddenly.

Moreover, its speed was impossible to detect, as if it had suddenly appeared after directly crossing space. Even the shadowy guards with the cultivation level of the Transcendent God stage could not detect any trace of it.

Hey, wait a minute, this isn't right...

Wasn't it said that the other party was just a mortal? Now it seems that he hasn't used any magical artifacts at all!

On the third floor of Zuiyang Tower, Yun Ping stood in front of the mountain of spiritual roots, coldly sweeping them across.

"I'll say it again: all at once, or one by one?"

Quiet.

No one answered.

Feng Tang asked what to say, or rather, he had almost lost the ability to continue speaking and was completely unable to understand the situation before him.

The shadowy guards, as if possessed, stared motionlessly at the young man who had become the center of attention.

Dressed in white, a color even more translucent than the white of the Northern Ice Palace.
