Chapter 169: The Woman Seeking Revenge for Her Husband

That sharp cry echoed through the inn, clearly reaching the ears of everyone inside.
Ye Feng inwardly thought something was wrong—he knew very well that the voice was referring to him. “How did she find me?”
Confused, Ye Feng wanted to understand how she had located him. Only by knowing that could he possibly escape her pursuit; otherwise, no matter where he went, she would find him.
“No need to hide anymore! I know you’re in there! If you don’t come out, I’ll have to destroy this inn and everyone in it!” the woman threatened.
Hearing this, the others in the inn rushed out of their rooms, worried about being drawn into this without reason. The inn owner had originally planned to scold the woman, but upon seeing that her strength far surpassed his own, he simply stood aside and watched.
With no other choice, Ye Feng also came out with the crowd, hoping to get through this ordeal. Though he still didn’t understand how she had discovered his location, he thought she wouldn’t recognize him with his face changed.
Unexpectedly, the moment Ye Feng stepped out of the inn, the woman stared at him coldly and said, “So you finally decide to come out!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m just a newcomer at the Yuan Ying stage…” Ye Feng pretended to look utterly confused and innocent.
“Indeed, the Yuan Ying stage!” The woman appeared in front of Ye Feng in an instant. “Someone at the Yuan Ying stage couldn’t possibly kill a Qiu Que stage expert wearing top-grade spiritual weapons… Tell me, where did you get this armor? Who gave it to you?”
“A young man sold it to me for six top-grade spiritual crystals! It was all I had…” Ye Feng continued acting, knowing that even if there were witnesses, they wouldn’t recognize him in this appearance.
“Madam, we just asked the merchants near the alley. They also said they saw a young man leave—probably not him! It’s likely that guy guessed the armor had been tampered with and didn’t dare use it, so he sold it to someone else,” a middle-aged man dressed like a butler whispered in her ear.

Ye Feng finally understood how the other party had discovered him—it was because something had been done to the armor. Hearing what the butler said, he felt a surge of relief; now his suspicion would be cleared. All he needed to do was return the armor and go to another planet under a different identity, making it impossible for them to find him again.

“Although he didn’t kill the person, the fact that he dared take on this armor shows he thought his life was too long.” A fierce look flashed across the woman’s face.

“Hand over the armor and obediently describe the man you traded with, and I’ll let you die painlessly.” Her expression was icy.

Ye Feng was stunned. He hadn’t expected them to be so unreasonable. If he really sold the armor to someone else, it could indeed lead to the death of an innocent person. This woman was clearly ruthless.

With a quick thought, Ye Feng immediately used Instant Step to escape.

The woman hadn’t expected Ye Feng, who was only at the Yuan Ying stage, to try to escape right under her nose. She thought he should be easily captured.

His sudden escape left her momentarily stunned. By the time she reacted, Ye Feng had already used Instant Step and blended into the crowd in the distance.

“Hmph, let’s see how far you can run!” the woman sneered.

Once in the crowd, Ye Feng quickly took off the armor and stored it in a storage compartment in the Void Realm, then continued to flee.

But to his surprise, after fleeing for nearly half an hour, the other party didn’t seem to be chasing after him. He slowed down, thinking to himself, “It seems that once I hid the armor, she can’t find me anymore!”

Just as this thought crossed his mind, a cold voice sounded beside his ear, “Keep running!”

A cold sweat broke out on Ye Feng’s back. The other party had followed him silently. He immediately turned around with a fake smile, saying, “We can discuss this properly… You’re beautiful—why resort to violence so easily? Besides, what’s the point of killing me? There’s someone else who killed your husband; you should go after them instead…”

“I’ll find him after killing you!” the woman said coldly. “Do you really think I can’t find you just because you put the armor in a storage ring? How naive!”

“Let me tell you, my mark isn’t on the armor—it’s on the one who claims ownership of it. That mark isn’t on the armor; it’s on you. After you completed the blood oath to claim ownership, the mark that once indicated my husband’s location automatically transferred to you. In other words, whether you wear that armor or not, no matter where you run, I can find you.” A cold smile appeared on the woman’s lips.

Only then did Ye Feng realize where the problem lay. If that was the case, no matter where he fled, she could still find him.

“This kind of mark can’t pinpoint your exact coordinates—it can only locate you within a range of about a hundred meters. That’s why I didn’t know which room you were in at that inn earlier; I could only force you to come out. As long as I see the mark I placed on you, I’ll know it’s you. But now that I’ve seen you once, finding you within a hundred meters is a piece of cake for me.” The woman wanted to completely break Ye Feng’s will to escape and continued, “Fleeing is pointless. Stop wasting your effort! Draw a portrait of that man and return the armor to me! I can let you die painlessly. But if you keep running and get caught by me again, it’s very likely I’ll make you suffer greatly.”

“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of dying!” Ye Feng put on the top-grade spiritual artifact armor and the corresponding gloves.

The woman didn’t stop him. Instead, with a look of disdainful mockery, she crossed her arms and stood there, waiting. “Judging by your attitude, it seems you want to resist? Do you really think someone at the Yuan Ying stage in the cultivation world can compete with a powerhouse at the Guo Jie stage? Then what’s the point of cultivation at all?”

Ye Feng ignored her. He knew well that fleeing would be useless. All he could do now was fight her. Although he knew full well he had no chance of winning, he still held onto a sliver of hope—the boxing technique he hadn’t yet mastered…

He slowly assumed a fighting stance, desperately recalling in his mind the image of that punch, that earth-shattering punch…

“Very well, then I’ll fulfill your wish! Anyway, I’ll find that kid who killed my husband eventually by other means.” Seeing Ye Feng ready to fight, the woman shrugged slightly, tapped her feet lightly on the ground, and rushed at him at a speed beyond human perception. “Remember, my name is Su Rui…”
