Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Old Acquaintances Meet!

Xiahou Cheng suddenly turned to President Feng and President Cao.

The two Presidents trembled, and with a trembling voice, explained to Xiahou Cheng, "He... he is Zhu Fei!"

"What? He is Zhu Fei!"

Xiahou Cheng was suddenly greatly shocked.

He retreated two steps in quick succession, and the terror in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

He knew that if the person before him had been someone else, he might still have been able to use the identity of the Xiahou family to threaten the other party, making them act with apprehension.

But since the person was Zhu Fei, his identity as a member of the Xiahou family not only failed to bring him any safety, it instead brought him an even more fierce catastrophe of death!

Thinking that he was about to die at the hands of a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm, Xiahou Cheng’s heart was filled with humiliation and unwillingness.

He roared loudly, and the halberd in his hand immediately started trembling with a buzzing sound.

A terrifying wave of destruction then permeated throughout the entire hall!

"Hmph! You still want to detonate the treasure?"

Zhu Fei snorted coldly. With a mocking look in his eyes, his "Frost Moon" sword was swiftly swung down!

With a "puchi" sound, the "Frost Moon" sword had already pierced through Xiahou Cheng’s Dantian! Along with his halberd that was about to explode, it was suddenly silenced in that moment.

At the same time, Zhu Fei casually beckoned.

With a "whoosh" sound, a round Golden Core flew out from Xiahou Cheng’s Dantian and directly landed in Zhu Fei’s hand!

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Xiahou Cheng instantly screamed in madness.

With his Dantian destroyed and his Golden Core snatched, Xiahou Cheng was completely plunged into despair.

He knew that he was finished, thoroughly finished!

A Golden Core Cultivator without a Golden Core was almost no different from an ordinary mortal, and now, he had also lost his Dantian.

Xiahou Cheng’s face was ashen.

He stared fiercely at Zhu Fei, his eyes filled with deep-seated resentment.

"Kid, don’t get too happy! Daring to be an enemy of the Xiahou family, the Xiahou family will surely make you die without a burial place in the future! Both body and spirit utterly destroyed!"

"You talk too much."

Zhu Fei teased with a smile, while suddenly flicking out a wisp of pale blue flame from between his fingers, which in a blink of an eye, landed on Xiahou Cheng!

"What? What is this...?"

The moment Xiahou Cheng was struck by the pale blue flame, he suddenly widened his eyes, his face bearing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"You, you, you... How could you possibly possess Heaven and Earth Fire! This is impossible..."

"Boom!"

Before Xiahou Cheng could finish speaking, the pale blue flame rapidly expanded, swiftly engulfing his entire body and instantly turned him into a pile of ashes!

"Plop— Plop—"

Seeing Xiahou Cheng of the Golden Core Realm being killed, Presidents Feng and Cao, along with all the members of the banking guild present, were all terrified and turned pale as they collapsed to the ground.

Zhu Fei swept a cold gaze over everyone present.

He knew that these people had probably all participated in the persecution of the Yun family back then.

Old grudges combined with new hatred made Zhu Fei’s heart become extremely cold and hard.

...

That evening, a terrifying explosion erupted inside the bank guild, sending shockwaves straight into the sky, causing everyone in Beiyun City to turn their heads.

Many wondered who would be so ruthless as to target the bank guild and who possessed such terrifying power to easily obliterate a force that had stood in Beiyun City for a century.

In the sky, two figures silently observed the scene below, their eyes revealing deep wariness.

Among them, a slightly taller man, after a moment of silence, finally broke the quiet.

"Senior Brother Xiao, who do you think caused the explosion below? Look at the remnants of the explosion, it must be at least the self-destruction of a third-level array. Who would go to such lengths to target a mere ordinary guild with a third-level array?"

The man known as Senior Brother Xiao thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something, "Junior Brother Li, you might not have noticed, but the girl named Yun Duo from our Flowing Cloud Sect has just disappeared."

Senior Brother Xiao paused, seeing that Junior Brother Li still seemed confused, and he couldn’t help but smile slightly,

"Junior Brother Li, think about it carefully. Yun Duo has suddenly disappeared, and our Junior Brother Liu had just announced he was going into seclusion not long ago. Plus the role the bank guild played originally, haven’t you thought of something?"

"Senior... Senior Brother Xiao, you... are you saying that the destruction of the bank guild is related to the person we are trying to capture?"

Junior Brother Li was utterly shocked; he would never have thought that Senior Brother Xiao was referring to that person.

"Hehe, if not him, who else could it be?"

Senior Brother Xiao sighed bitterly, then resignedly shook his head, "It seems we all underestimated him at the beginning."

Saying this, Senior Brother Xiao turned his head to meet Junior Brother Li’s gaze, both involuntarily revealing a trace of relief in their eyes.

They both fully understood that judging by the recent explosion at the bank guild, if it had been used against them, even with their Golden Core Cultivation, they would likely have barely escaped intact.

...

Ping State, Guangming City, a city as vast as Wind Forest City, housing a Transmission Array that offers the best route to Tianhua City, the foremost city in Tianhua.

Since Zhu Fei had left the Flowing Cloud Sect with Yun Duo, the two disguised themselves and went through a series of dangerous searches while living precariously, finally entering Guangming City after half a month.

By that time, Zhu Fei had settled Yun Duo in an inn, while he himself went to a market in the city.

He needed to purchase a high-quality concealed Magical Treasure for Yun Duo.

Because during the past period, Zhu Fei had also seen notices calling for Yun Duo’s capture in many places.

This meant that his actions in Beiyun City had been exposed.

Although their identities remained secret for now, over time, Yun Duo’s concealment might not hold if someone determined discovers it.

Therefore, purchasing a high-quality concealed Magical Treasure for Yun Duo had become his most urgent task at the moment.

"Esteemed cultivator, do you need information about the Kunlun Auction? For just five Low Grade Spirit Stones, we can provide you with detailed information about the auction."

Just then, a middle-aged man’s voice suddenly rang out behind Zhu Fei.

He turned around, and when he saw the middle-aged man, along with a woman in a pink dress beside him, he was instantly stunned.

Because he recognized both of them!

They were none other than Lin Hao and Zhou Yun, a couple with whom Zhu Fei had once gone treasure hunting!

How could they be here?

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Zhu Fei’s mind, but what surged most was excitement.

Regardless of everything, Lin Hao and his wife were among the very few friends Zhu Fei had, and they had left a profound impression on him.

Now that old acquaintances meet in the Other World, how could Zhu Fei’s heart not stir?

However, Zhu Fei quickly calmed down.

Given his current situation, he knew he couldn’t reveal his identity to the couple in front of him just yet—at least not here.

With this thought, Zhu Fei immediately nodded to the couple and asked, "The Kunlun Auction you mentioned earlier, what exactly is that auction about? Could you tell me first? If I’m interested, perhaps I might consider purchasing one to find out more."
