As Bai Shan's words fell, both the pockmarked middle-aged cultivator and his companions couldn't help but suddenly change their expressions.

To the pockmarked middle-aged cultivator and his group, Bai Shan, who hailed from the Independent Cultivator Alliance, was naturally not unfamiliar.

But it was precisely because they were not unfamiliar that they had such a big reaction to Bai Shan's words.

After all, doing such things here was indeed about knowing who you were dealing with, just as Zhu Fei had previously thought.

If the other party were merely loose cultivators or cultivators from some small sect, they could be dealt with at will.

But with someone like Bai Shan, backed by the Independent Cultivator Alliance, not only could they not manipulate him, they wouldn't dare to show even the slightest disrespect.

Joking aside, if they dared to target someone from the Independent Cultivator Alliance, they might as well quit altogether.

Once they left the Divine Burning Tower, they would certainly face the fiercest retribution from the Independent Cultivator Alliance.

At this thought, the pockmarked middle-aged cultivator's face immediately showed a flattering smile.

Even the corpses he had previously laid out were quickly gathered back, and he laughed awkwardly, saying:

"Mr. Bai, it's a misunderstanding, those were all misunderstandings earlier. Could you let us off this time? We promise, next time we'll definitely not cause any trouble for your friends."

Bai Shan rolled his eyes, ignoring the pockmarked middle-aged cultivator, and instead directed his gaze towards Zhu Fei, Kong Yuan, and the others, smiling as he said:

"Everyone, do you have any thoughts on how to resolve this matter? Rest assured, whatever you have in mind, feel free to voice it. I, Bai Shan, will definitely stand up for you."

Bai Shan's words were somewhat arrogant, but everyone had to admit that with his background and status, he indeed had the capital to be arrogant.

A square-faced man, clad in grey attire and having cultivation at the Middle Profound Immortal stage, nodded and smiled at Bai Shan, saying:

"Mr. Bai, we're already very grateful that you can stand up for us. How could we have any thoughts? We leave everything to your decision, Mr. Bai."

"Oh, really?"

Bai Shan first nodded, then once again turned his gaze back to Zhu Fei and the others.

Especially his eyes lingered a little longer on Zhu Fei.

In the eyes of others, it seemed he was considering Zhu Fei's feelings.

After all, the current conflict with that pockmarked middle-aged cultivator was caused by Zhu Fei, so it was only natural for Bai Shan to consult him specifically.

But Zhu Fei did not see it that way, as he vaguely sensed a warning in Bai Shan's gaze.

This made his heart involuntarily tense, and the doubts that had previously surfaced in his mind became even clearer.

Immediately, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and in front of everyone, he directly shook his head at Bai Shan.

"I don't think this is a misunderstanding. If this is just brushed off, at least for me, I cannot agree."

"Oh, then what does Brother Ye propose?"

Bai Shan's gaze suddenly became a bit deep, and when he asked Zhu Fei, "What do you want," his tone unconsciously became slightly heavier.

The square-faced man who had spoken earlier couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at Zhu Fei, saying:

"Brother Ye, sometimes it's better not to 'push' people too hard, after all, this is not good for you or any of us."

Frankly, this square-faced man had been somewhat envious of what Zhu Fei had acquired in the past.

Just think, as a dignified Middle Profound Immortal, he had fewer items than Zhu Fei, an Early-stage Profound Immortal. How could that sit well with him?

Thus, his tone inevitably carried a hint of condescension when speaking to Zhu Fei.

Zhu Fei frowned slightly, staring at the square-faced man for a while before withdrawing his gaze and lightly smiling:

"Whether it's bad for everyone, I don't know, but I do know that if they can't give me a satisfactory account today, my sentiments won't be smooth."

"And when my mood is not smooth, my temper will become quite bad, and at that point, I truly cannot guarantee what actions I might take."

"You...!"

The square-faced man was suddenly livid with anger at Zhu Fei's words. He had never expected Zhu Fei to show him no face and embarrass him in front of Bai Shan and others.

He didn't even consider whether his own words had shown respect to Zhu Fei or had left him no way to step down.

Of course, the square-faced man wouldn't have this kind of awareness.

Just when he wanted to say something more, Bai Shan smiled, interrupting his words, and then said:

"Since that's the case, then Brother Ye, why not state your condition? As long as it's within my ability, I will definitely stand up for you."

With that same tone, Zhu Fei suddenly found that he was starting to dislike Bai Shan more and more.

At once, Zhu Fei also ceased to concern himself further, directly staring at the pockmarked middle-aged cultivator coldly, saying:

"I won't check all your storage magical treasures, just hand over thirty percent of all your assets. My fellow cultivators and I all need it."

"Of course, there are some who don't particularly like to 'force' others and are naturally more generous, who might not need it at all."

"Ye Fei, you...!"

Once again, the square-faced man's face turned livid.

He really didn't expect that Zhu Fei could be so vindictive, and merely taunting him a few words earlier would result in such a retaliatory gesture.

But since he had already said too much before, even if he wanted to act now, he couldn't find any excuse.

Zhu Fei ignored him, keeping his gaze locked on the pockmarked middle-aged cultivator and his group, his eyes full of amusement.

The faces of the pockmarked middle-aged cultivator and his group were almost as livid as the square-faced man's, looking extremely unpleasant.

They hadn't expected Zhu Fei's revenge to be so ruthless, directly using the method they used to target him in retaliation.

And what he said...

As soon as they thought of this, the pockmarked middle-aged cultivator and his group felt an urge to shred Zhu Fei into pieces.

But things had come to this point, and even if they wanted to refuse, there was no possibility unless they planned to quit in Guangcheng Heaven.

"Kid, you're ruthless!"

After glaring fiercely at Zhu Fei, the pockmarked middle-aged cultivator and his group finally each took out a storage bag from themselves and tossed it directly to Zhu Fei.
