Suddenly, Hei Yu fainted and passed out.
Afterwards, he was dragged into the space ring by Yi Feng.
Just like that.
This envoy from the Immortal Realm who was sent to investigate ascension had just entered the Immortal River Continent and hadn't even taken two breaths before falling here.
"What a huge harvest today. With four such big wild beasts locked up, I can definitely trick quite a few people," Yi Feng nodded satisfactorily and headed back to Pingjiang City with his huge harvest.
Pingjiang City.
At the door of the martial arts hall.
With Ye Bei, Han Tianque, Guan Yunpeng and about twenty others gathered there.
And the lowest cultivation level of these people was at least Martial Venerable realm.
In the various sects of Dongsheng, they were either sect leaders or elders, in short, their positions were very high.
And their purpose for coming here was to act as construction workers for Yi Feng's house at Ye Bei's invitation.
However.
After arriving here, they were unwilling to do so, and they even had great doubts about Han Tianque's words.
"Han Tianque, you'd better make it clear why you tricked us here," an old man took the lead in questioning: "What exactly did you bring us here for?"
"That's right," someone else spoke up, "You said it would bring us great opportunities, but we end up in such a godforsaken small town. What exactly are you up to?"
"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and explain. You know our identities, each of us is either a sect leader or elder. We are very busy people, we don't have time to dilly-dally with you."
In an instant.
Voices of doubt came from the crowd.
"Sigh, you bunch of old fools, would I still lie to you?" Han Tianque quickly explained, "I said I would bring you opportunities so there must be opportunities for you!"
"That's right, just wait obediently!" Guan Yunpeng also chimed in, "If you weren't old friends, you wouldn't even have a chance at this great opportunity."
"Bragging."
"You two just keep on bragging."
"I knew we shouldn't have believed you, thinking there was some great opportunity here. But it turns out to be such a godforsaken place."
The crowd sneered at Guan Yunpeng and Han Tianque's words, their doubts grew even louder.
"What's wrong with you people, why are your brains so muddled?" Guan Yunpeng said gloomily, "Do we need to lie to you?"
"Alright, since you didn't lie to us, then I ask you, is what you said about that peerless expert true or not?" At this time, someone stepped forward and asked.
"Of course it's true, would I lie to you?" Guan Yunpeng replied.
"Since you said it's true, then show us some proof to make us believe it," the man continued.
"Proof..."
Guan Yunpeng scratched his head, at a loss for what to do next.
How could he produce any proof about Yi Feng?
"Humph, as expected you have no proof."
"Let's go, let's hurry back to our own sects."
"Right, we shouldn't have come in the first place. Talking about some great opportunity, it really wasted our time."
Seeing this, Han Tianque and the others' expressions changed.
After all, they had promised Yi Feng to recruit workers. It took great effort to gather so many people, if they left now, not only would their efforts go to waste, but Yi Feng might be displeased as well, which would be a big problem.
So Ye Bei quickly stopped everyone and said solemnly, "Everyone, since you are already here, why leave in such a hurry? Why not wait for the master to return, take a look at his true self, and won't you know everything by then?"
"That's right, when you see the master's true self, you won't think we lied to you," Han Tianque also quickly chimed in.
Hearing this.
The people who were about to leave showed contemplative expressions on their faces.
After a long while, they reluctantly nodded their heads.
"Let's wait and see. No harm in that," one of them said.
"But let us make this clear first. If it does not turn out as you said, don't blame us for not giving you face and leaving straight away, friendships be damned," another added.
"Fine," Ye Bei smiled confidently, "Once you witness the master's capabilities, I guarantee none of you will have thoughts of leaving. On the contrary, you'd be racking your brains figuring out how to stay."
After a short wait, a figure finally slowly approached from the outside.
"The master is back!"
Ye Bei jumped up, his face full of excitement.
Guan Yunpeng and Han Tianque were no different, unable to hide the fanaticism in their eyes.
"Remember, the master is experiencing life as an ordinary mortal, so you absolutely must not reveal your cultivation bases or break the taboo in front of the master! Understand?" The three of them quickly reminded the crowd.
Facing their reminder, the rest of them glanced at each other.
Seeing the attitude of the three, it seemed there was some truth in it.
Could it be...
This godforsaken place really hid an extremely powerful expert?
Their curiosity was aroused all of a sudden.
They wanted to see if this so-called expert was really as capable as claimed!
Hence, they played along with Han Tianque and the others, moving forward to greet the returning Yi Feng.
"Oh, it's you guys!"
Seeing Ye Bei and the other three, Yi Feng smiled and said.
"Greetings, Master," the three of them quickly bowed and replied smilingly, "Reporting to Master, we have gathered the first batch of workers."
As they spoke, the three of them hurriedly called to the crowd behind them, "Hurry and greet the Master properly!"
However.
Despite their reminder, the crowd paid them no mind.
Because in that brief moment earlier, everyone had sized Yi Feng up.
No cultivation base.
Plain and ordinary.
Not even a single eye-catching thing about him from head to toe.
This is the expert?
They did not believe at all.
This flustered Ye Bei and the other two badly. They signaled desperately at the crowd with their eyes.
Yet even so, other than the minority who nodded perfunctorily out of courtesy, most showed no reaction.
Fortunately.
To Ye Bei and the others' relief, Yi Feng did not seem to mind. He just smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. Come, let me bring you to see the construction site."
After he finished, Yi Feng headed towards the back of the martial arts hall first.
Seeing Yi Feng leave, Ye Bei and the other two stamped their feet in frustration, berating the crowd for being uneducable, "What do you lot of old fools think you're doing?"
"Humph, what else can we be doing? Weren't you the one who claimed some peerless expert?"
"That's right. And this is your so-called peerless expert?"
The crowd dismissed them scornfully.
Not believing their words one bit.
After all, seeing is believing.
They did not detect anything eye-catching about Yi Feng at all.
"You, you bunch, how can you be so ignorant?" Han Tianque said with a cold face, "Do you think you can see through the Master? I assure you, there will be a moment that will shock you speechless!"
"Sorry, we really have no time to play games with you," one person replied.
"That's right, our sect masters still have tons of things to do. So we'll take our leave."
"We've humored you for so long, it should be considered benevolent. Farewell."
"Farewell..."
