Though the higher-ups of the Red Buddha Society despised Xu Fei to the core, to the point where he was a target everyone wanted dead, for the countless lower-ranking members like Deacon Zhikong, it didn’t really concern them.
In ancient times, during wars between armies, there were indeed ambitious souls who dreamed of taking an enemy general’s head amidst a sea of soldiers. But such people were rare, as scarce as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns.
Far more common were people like Zhikong, akin to foot soldiers, whose only desire was to survive. Because of this, they didn’t know much about Xu Fei.
But Zhikong considered the situation. Cultivation resources were scarce these days, and as a member of the Red Buddha Society, if he just threw out some irresistible conditions, striking a temporary truce with Xu Fei would be a breeze!
Zhikong couldn’t bear to let go of Yao Yunxi. She was a top-tier cauldron he’d stumbled upon while deceiving Second Granduncle Yao into joining the Red Buddha Society to fulfill his mission!
No matter what, Zhikong wouldn’t give her up easily, unless someone threatened his life!
Sadly, despite a lifetime of scheming, Zhikong had finally met his match in Xu Fei.
He shouldn’t have judged Xu Fei by ordinary standards.
After Zhikong finished his smug proposal, Xu Fei’s gaze turned icy cold in an instant.
At the same moment, true qi erupted from his body, accompanied by a potent surge of yang energy!
The yang energy flooded the room like sunlight.
Yao Yuanzhou felt nothing unusual, but it gave him a chance to catch his breath as Yao Yunxi paused her actions.
Zhikong, however, was in agony!
Like a ghost unable to face the sun, he writhed in pain, his body contorting into a bizarre shape under the light.
Desperately, he scrambled for a corner to hide in, but the room was too small, there was nowhere to escape!
In the end, Xu Fei flung out several silver needles, striking Zhikong’s body with precise snaps.
This time, Xu Fei held nothing back, sealing all of Zhikong’s acupoints with the needles.
Even if Zhikong had any tricks left, his true qi was locked, rendering him a useless cripple!
After finishing this, Xu Fei turned to continue treating Yao Yunxi, but the situation took another sudden turn.
Yao Yunxi, who’d just calmed down moments ago, went berserk again.
Her skin turned a vivid red, glowing like burning coals!
She let out a primal roar. Xu Fei felt no fear, only a clear sense of the torment raging within her.
The pain of burning blood wasn’t something an ordinary person could endure!
With one motion, Yao Yunxi hurled Yao Yuanzhou aside, sending him crashing heavily to the ground once more.
This time, as Yao Yuanzhou got up, his face was streaked with tears of heartache.
“Stop crying! Act like a man and drag this guy out. No one comes in without my permission!”
Yao Yuanzhou understood Xu Fei was about to save Yao Yunxi. He bowed deeply to Xu Fei on the spot, then dragged the now-crippled Zhikong out of the room.
Xu Fei had sent him out for his own good.
If anything went wrong during the treatment, at least Yao Yuanzhou wouldn’t be caught in the fallout.
Once the door was shut, Xu Fei looked up at Yao Yunxi again.
“Let me end your suffering!”
