22: Chapter Twenty-Two: Covert Operation 22: Chapter Twenty-Two: Covert Operation “Young Master Xu, stay behind me.

This Love Potion is quite strong; just a whiff is very unpleasant.”

Liang Sheng waved at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao and the other two people took several steps back.

Liang Sheng picked up a straw, opened the white powder-wrapped package, and dipped the straw into it.

Liang Sheng walked up to Ye Tian and aimed the straw at Ye Tian’s nose, ready to blow.

Liang Sheng straightened his body, took a deep breath, bent down, and put his mouth near the straw’s mouth.

Just as Liang Sheng was about to blow the powder out, Ye Tian suddenly opened his eyes and forcefully blew the powder onto Liang Sheng’s face.

At this moment, Liang Sheng’s face was covered with white powder, looking like a ghost.

His eyes were already blurry, he could barely stand, and he stammered, “Ye Tian, you tricked me…”

“Bang…” Liang Sheng fell down.

Xu Hao and the other two stared in shock at the scene, stepping back several more steps in fear.

After regaining their senses, Xu Hao walked up and pointed at Ye Tian, “You, Ye Tian, how dare you trick us.”

Ye Tian sneered coldly, “You think I wouldn’t know you were pretending to sleep?

You wanted to strip me naked?

Don’t think just because you’re from the Xu family, I would be afraid.”

Xu Hao’s fury intensified upon hearing Ye Tian’s provocation, “Dazhuang, Shi Ding, go teach him a lesson!”

The person Ye Tian hadn’t noticed earlier was actually Shi Ding, who looked very quiet and wore glasses.

He had been silent next to Xu Hao, making Ye Tian overlook him.

“Master, look at him, so weak.

I can handle him alone.”

Zhang Dazhuang looked at Ye Tian with pity, “Kid, daring to compete with Young Master Xu for a woman, you must be crazy.

You better not resist; I might beat you less.”

Immediately, Zhang Dazhuang assumed a boxing stance and threw a punch at Ye Tian’s gut with his sandbag-sized fist, a hit that would make an ordinary person collapse after a few blows.

But Ye Tian remained indifferent, hands still in his pockets.

Facing the oncoming Dazhuang, Ye Tian’s right foot kicked out like lightning, sending Zhang Dazhuang flying onto the left bed with a loud crash.

Xu Hao was stunned.

Ye Tian turned his head and said to Dazhuang, “You’re too weak.

I might as well hit you a few less times.”

“Cough…

cough” Zhang Dazhuang tried to stand but found he had no strength because Ye Tian’s kick targeted his Qi Acupoint, making him lose all his energy.

Ye Tian looked playfully at Xu Hao, “Young Master Xu, what do you plan to do now?”

At this moment, Shi Ding stepped forward and said in an emotionless voice, “Judging by your moves, you should be a martial artist, but Xu Hao’s father has been kind to me.

You cannot harm him, apologies.”

Cultivators’ actions are indeed extraordinary.

Shi Ding’s footsteps were illusory, quickly arriving in front of Ye Tian.

His left fist struck out like lightning, much faster and stronger than Zhang Dazhuang’s, but Shi Ding’s strikes were not lethal, indicating he still didn’t want to harm innocents.

Ye Tian extended his left hand and grabbed Shi Ding’s fist.

Shi Ding seemed frozen, unable to move, inwardly shocked because with his Yellow Rank 6th Stage cultivation, few in the secular world could resist him.

In this world, cultivators’ realms are divided into Divine, Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow stages, with the Divine stage specifically carved out for Ye Tian, though Ye Tian had only practiced the Creation and Transformation Heaven Technique to the second tier.

“Shi Ding, your skills are good, but it’s unfortunate you met me.

You’re loyal; I understand your predicament.

Considering your loyalty, I won’t pursue today’s matter further.”

Ye Tian said as he walked to Xu Hao.

“Young Master Xu, better not target Chumo, or this world won’t be able to withstand my wrath.”

Ye Tian said with a smile, but Xu Hao felt as if trapped in a sea of corpses and blood, his body trembling involuntarily.

Ye Tian returned to his bed and began to sleep for real.

Xu Hao and Shi Ding helped the unconscious Liang Sheng and the limp Dazhuang onto their respective beds.

Xu Hao looked at the lying Ye Tian, his eyes showing hatred but quickly reverting to a fearful expression.

After causing so much trouble at night, it was exhausting both mentally and physically.

Lying on the cold bed, they fell asleep.

Outside, the sound of cicadas and crickets accompanied each other.

The night was chilly and quiet.

At this moment, several shadows flashed past Ye Tian’s room door.

Ye Tian opened his eyes, a flash of anger in them, turned to look at Xu Hao and the other three, only to find them deeply asleep.

Ye Tian no longer felt sleepy; for him at this stage, sleep was merely for enjoyment.

Ye Tian got up, quietly opened the door, suppressed his aura, and used the Yantian Technique to trace the incoming energy before slowly following it.

Ye Tian walked across the training ground, arriving at a secluded room with a faint light inside, where two people seemed to be conversing.

“Old Mu, bringing students here could lead to serious trouble.

How should I explain this?”

“No choice.

These demons have slaughtered many people, and their bodies are dried husks after death, so we judge these demons are likely vampires.”

“Rest assured, our troops are hidden around Yunwu Mountain, with dozens of snipers watching the base.

The students are just bait to lure out the demons; there shouldn’t be much danger.”

“Old Mu, over the years, you have risked your life for countless dangerous missions in pursuit of Military Merit Points.

This matter should be resolved by the Divine Martial Pavilion; after all, it’s a cultivators’ issue.

You’re shouldering it alone; I’m afraid it’s too heavy for you.”

“If I die, I die.

There’s artillery around the base; guard here.

If the situation is dire, use these weapons to defend against the external foes.

It’s my own fault for being too eager.”

“Old Mu, we soldiers know your loyalty to the country.

Don’t let it burden you.

With Divine Martial Mountain’s oversight, the opponent cultivators shouldn’t be too strong.

Conventional weapons should be enough, especially since you’re from the Kyoto Mu Family, skilled in martial arts.”

“By the way, Old Li, I noticed many family members, all cultivators, have arrived lately.

What are they here for?”

“It’s all for treasures.

In recent years, Ancient Relics have emerged like bamboo shoots after rain, with more secular cultivators appearing.

I wonder if the balance will be disrupted.”

“I heard the peculiar mist phenomenon of Yunwu Mountain is caused by a pearl.

It’s very intriguing; a pearl that emits mist.”

Ye Tian stood in the bushes, listening clearly.

No wonder his Creation Energy was triggered; this place turned out to be a treasure trove.

Suddenly, a flame burst forth and quickly dimmed again.
