"Quick, help rescue it! It's so pitiful," Qin Yanyang urged Yang Fei.

Yang Fei snorted. Despite feeling sorry for the creature, he was reminded of how it had turned against Heavenly Gang, forcing him to dig Spirit Stones. Moreover, it had swallowed him twice, subjecting him to the nauseating and terrifying experience, making him quite frustrated.

Qin Yanyang sensed Yang Fei's emotions and said amusingly, "You're a grown man, why are you bickering with an infant Heaven-devouring Beast? It's just playing with you. With its earlier displayed power, if it meant serious harm, you'd already be eaten, but here you are, standing without a scratch."

Yang Fei's heart stirred.

Indeed, with the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast's earlier exhibited strength, it could easily eliminate him. Yet, it chose to spit him out repeatedly.

It must be too young and mischievous, trying to intimidate him, but in reality, it was lenient with him, showing closeness and affection.

Considering this, Yang Fei said to Sun Lei, "Stop your actions."

Sun Lei was tormenting the Heaven-devouring Beast, intending to subdue it, completely surprised by Yang Fei's sudden order.

He frowned, glancing at Yang Fei, while a twinge of delight rose within his heart.

This young man brought this upon himself.

Dare to speak to me like this; if I take this chance to make things difficult for you or kill you, Brother Li wouldn't reproach me.

No, Qin Yanyang is deeply attached to this young man. If I kill him in front of her, she might hate me and would not willingly accompany me to the Lingxiao Sect.

I must eliminate him discreetly.

With the Soul Binding Rope in hand, his soul can be extracted quietly and tortured to death soon.

Thoughts raced in his mind, Sun Lei coughed and said, "Little Brother Yang, are you pitying this beast? Don't worry, it's the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, I couldn't bear to kill it."

Yang Fei snorted, "It's mine. I told you to stop."

Sun Lei froze, thinking he must have heard wrong, and looked at Yang Fei in bewilderment.

Li Yue was equally shocked, moving his lips, unable to resist reminding, "Little Brother Yang, weren't you tormented by the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast earlier and nearly eaten? Why now claim it's yours? According to the Cultivation Realm's rules, heavenly treasures belong to capable people or those with destiny. Though you discovered the Heaven-devouring Beast first, my Junior Brother Sun Lei possesses means to subdue it. Therefore, reasonably, the Heaven-devouring Beast should belong to my Junior Brother Sun."

Yang Fei knew Li Yue was speaking from a fair perspective, so he didn't mind. But he didn't plan to let Sun Lei, who wished to eliminate him and claim Qin Yanyang, off the hook, thus he coldly snorted and said, "Brother Li is right, in the Cultivation Realm, heavenly treasures go to the capable and the destined. Truth be told, this White Jade City is precisely the Cultivation Cave Mansion my predecessor on Earth left to me, so technically, everything within this mountain range is mine. The 'Heavenly Heart Technique' you obtained is mine, and the Soul Binding Rope my Sun Junior Brother obtained is mine as well. As for the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, it is even more the spiritual beast left to me by my predecessor on Earth."

Upon hearing this, Li Yue and Sun Lei were tremendously shocked.

Li Yue exclaimed, "How... how did you know I obtained the 'Heavenly Heart Technique' cultivation technique?"

Sun Lei was also taken aback, looking at Yang Fei with uncertainty. This young man's words were convincing, even stating the name of the inheritance cultivation technique Brother Li obtained. Could it be that this Soul Binding Rope is indeed his?

No.

In that cave, I obtained the Soul Binding Rope and its activation and usage method. This Innate Spiritual Treasure was gained through fate.

He already harbored thoughts of killing Yang Fei due to Qin Yanyang. Hearing Yang Fei speak this way, he retorted angrily, "Young man, such big words, daring to boast in front of Brother Li and me. Are you intending to kill and seize treasures?"

Yang Fei sneered, "It's you, Sun Lei, who thinks of killing and seizing treasures, isn't it? Don't assume I don't know you've thought of killing me and taking my woman for yourself."

Sun Lei was shocked, never expecting this young man's deduction.

He thought aside from initially being somewhat indiscreet upon seeing Qin Yanyang's Ultimate Grade Earth Spirit Root, he hadn't exposed any vulnerabilities afterward. Yet, why did this youth see through his intentions?

No, he's trying to trick me here.

Sun Lei snorted coldly, "Silence, youngster! My Lingxiao Sect is a prestigious and righteous sect, not a Demon Sect or Evil Cultivation Land, how could such things you mentioned happen? You dare slander me, damage Lingxiao Sect's reputation, you truly deserve to die a thousand times. Do you think I am afraid to kill you?"

Li Yue nodded silently. Originally, Yang Fei took them out of the Illusion Array and further obtained inheritances. He genuinely appreciated Yang Fei. But now witnessing Yang Fei "slander" his Junior Brother Sun Lei, he couldn't stand it, frowning, "Little Brother Yang, my Junior Brother Sun Lei is right, how can you fabricate facts from thin air, slandering my Junior Brother Sun Lei's innocence? If other Lingxiao Sect members hear this, they'd believe you purposely damaged our reputation, and no disciple from Lingxiao Sect would pardon you."

Yang Fei ignored Li Yue and suddenly said to Sun Lei, "Sun Lei, twenty-seven years ago, during your training at Daze Mountain, you obtained a Magic Treasure called 'Innate Eye.' This treasure helped you monitor every cultivator's Spirit Root attribute. Hence, upon first sight of my wife, you were stunned by her Top-grade Earth Spirit Root. From then, you harbored murderous intentions, aiming to kill me then take my wife Qin Yanyang to Lingxiao Sect for yourself. Is this not correct?"

Sun Lei was appalled.

He never mentioned obtaining the Innate Eye to anyone, so how could this youth know and accurately name the magic treasure?

He looked at Yang Fei in terror, momentarily forgetting to use mana to further activate the Soul Binding Rope against the Heaven-devouring Beast.

Li Yue beside him also changed his expression drastically, casting a surprised glance toward Qin Yanyang.

Top-grade Earth Spirit Root?

This… How is it possible?

On this previously Spiritual Energy-scarce, small planet, a female cultivator with a Top-grade Earth Spirit Root actually exists?

He took a deep breath, again turning his gaze toward Sun Lei.

If Qin Yanyang indeed possesses a Top-grade Earth Spirit Root, not just Sun Lei but even he, deep down, felt a hint of greed.

For cultivators, the most important things are wealth, partner, technique, and land.

Partner ranks second.

Having a suitable soulmate in cultivation who complements each other not only dispels loneliness but supports and progresses along the path of cultivation.

And a female cultivator with a Top-grade Earth Spirit Root is recognized as a top-grade furnace in the Cultivation World, an ideal soulmate esteemed by any male cultivator. Gaining such a soulmate significantly accelerates one's cultivation speed, presenting an irresistible allure for any cultivator.

No wonder Junior Brother Sun exhibited indiscreet behavior upon first meeting Qin Yanyang.

Li Yue looked at Sun Lei to find him shocked, staring at Yang Fei with a ghostly expression, causing a pang of alarm.

Could Yang Fei's claims be true?

But how did he know Junior Brother Sun's secrets?

This is too eerie!
