Chapter 156: The Fish Has Bitten

When the detector showed a red dot and three yellow dots moving toward the three flashing white dots, Ye Feng’s lips curled slightly. “They’ve bitten…”
Ye Feng switched the detection mode to individual tracking, focusing his attention on the red dot. It was a man in a black robe, appearing around thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance—the kind one would easily forget after seeing him.
However, the red dot on Ye Feng’s detector clearly indicated that this man’s strength was two levels above Ye Feng’s own—he was a powerhouse at the Divided Mind stage.
Yet Ye Feng wasn’t too concerned about this. His own strength was already enough to ambush and kill opponents at the Outward Emergence stage. As for a Divided Mind stage warrior, although his current strength wasn’t sufficient to deal with one, using a photon cannon, killing an enemy two levels stronger shouldn’t be too difficult.
What Ye Feng wanted to know was whether this incident would draw in warriors at the Combined Stage or even higher. If such experts got involved, he would need to find other ways to deal with them.
Ye Feng patiently observed what happened next through the detector:
The man in black robe led three others straight into the temporary residence of Wudao and the others.
“Are you the ones who destroyed the teleportation array?” Kongxu reacted immediately.
“Not bad reaction!” The man in black smirked, waving at the three Outward Emergence stage warriors behind him. “Seize them!”
The three Outward Emergence stage warriors rushed at the group.
Wudao gave the other two a signal, took a deep breath, and let out a fierce roar from his mouth. “ROAR!!!”
It was a genuine Buddhist lion’s roar, delivered with his peak Yuan Ying stage strength, which temporarily made the three Outward Emergence stage warriors feel dizzy.
The three took advantage of the moment to dash toward the window.
“Trying to escape? Did you even ask me?” A hand blocked their path at the window.
Without hesitation, the three launched a fierce attack on the man in black robe blocking them. At this point, they dared not hold back, attacking repeatedly in an attempt to kill him on the spot and escape the pursuit of the other three.
“This level of attack isn’t even enough to tickle me!” The man in black didn’t fight back but turned his head to look at them. “Just stay here obediently!”

Seeing such a reaction from the other party, Wu Dao and the others immediately realized that their opponent’s strength was no longer at the Exit Stage. They were well aware that even a strong warrior in the later stages of Exit Stage would be severely damaged by attacks from them three. They understood that as long as this person was there, it was unlikely for them to escape. They had greatly underestimated the enemy’s strength.

At that moment, the three Exit Stage warriors also regained their senses and immediately rushed over to capture the three of them.

Ye Feng watched the scene ahead with an expressionless face, patiently waiting for what would happen next, waiting for the mastermind behind this to appear…

The three were taken to a luxurious mansion and locked in a strange room. The enclosed room was made entirely of black stone, covering less than twenty square meters. There was nothing inside except for a night pearl on the ceiling emitting a faint white light.

“Don’t even think about escaping. The walls here can’t be broken by people like you! You three stay put for now. When the time comes, I’ll come and interrogate you! I hope you’ll be as honest as possible then! Because I don’t know how I’ll react when I hear lies.” The man in black shut the only small door in the room as he left.

Ye Feng didn’t pay much attention to the three being locked up. He focused his detector again on the man in black, knowing that he might leave to report to his superiors that Wu Dao and the others had been captured.

After leaving the room where the three were held, the man in black walked down a magnificent corridor. At the end of the corridor was a hall. The man in black pushed open the hall’s door, revealing a young man sitting leisurely in the seat at the head.

The moment Ye Feng saw that man, his expression froze slightly.

“Yuwen Zhuo?” Ye Feng looked at the young man in surprise before realizing after a while, “No, he’s not Yuwen Zhuo. His appearance and temperament are somewhat similar… But his strength is actually at the Diversion Stage…”

At that moment, the man in black spoke up. “Master, I’ve captured the three of them. Shall I interrogate them myself or should you do it?”

“I’ve been idle lately anyway. I’ll do it!” The young man nodded. “You may go now. I’ll be there in a moment.”

“Who exactly is he? What’s his relationship with Yuwen Zhuo?” Ye Feng frowned slightly. “It seems the teleportation array has been damaged, and the one who leaked the information is likely Yuwen Zhuo. But how did he do it?”
Although filled with doubts, at least now there was some clarity regarding the destruction of the teleportation array.
He changed the detection mode back to area scanning, hoping to see if there were any other powerful individuals in the entire mansion.
Fortunately, aside from the man in black and the two people he called masters, who appeared as red dots, there were about ten yellow dots, with the rest being white dots. This relieved Ye Feng.
After the incident last time when Zong Hao exceeded the detector’s detection limit, Ye Feng converted 1,002 points of second-tier domain value into 1 million points of first-tier domain value. He spent 510,000 first-tier domain points to raise the detector’s detection limit to the peak level of the Mahayana stage, which was the ultimate limit to which the detector could be enhanced.
The technological achievements of Planet Taikeloriki allowed them to gain strength comparable to that of Mahayana-stage warriors. But they had reached a technological barrier and could no longer make further progress…
However, for Ye Feng right now, this was sufficient…
At that moment, Wu Dao and the others, trapped in the small dark room, were curiously studying the black stones that made up the room.
After countless experiments, they found that although their attacks could leave marks on these stones, to their surprise, those marks would recover instantly. To them, this was simply incredible.
“This kind of stone is called Rikafan. It has a powerful healing ability. As long as your attack power doesn’t exceed its limit, it can return to its original state.” Just then, the door to the small room was pushed open, and a young man familiar to the three of them stepped in…
“Yuwen Zhuo?” The three were filled with surprise…
