Chapter 205: The Watcher Behind Them

Robbing the two guardians of the Alchemy Sect was the happiest thing that had happened to Ye Feng since arriving on Agri Star. Thinking back to the threatening words he had spoken to them, which had turned their faces pale, he couldn’t help but laugh.

In fact, there were other reasons why Ye Feng was so pleased.
Just Lin Peng and Jiang Yuansong alone possessed two sets of top-tier spiritual weapon armors and two top-tier spiritual weapon weapons. Moreover, their storage rings were also top-tier spiritual artifacts. Just these gains were enough to exchange for 50 million in second-tier domain value.

Not to mention that each of their rings also contained a top-tier spiritual weapon, along with several high-grade spiritual artifacts. Adding in various alchemy materials, Ye Feng calculated that it would be no problem to exchange for 100 million in second-tier domain value.

Another thing that made Ye Feng happy was that the two little creatures had finally overcome their addiction to cartoons. They were having fun playing with the father of the sect master he had brought back.

Under Bernard’s coercion, the middle-aged man placed all the spiritual crystals from his ring on the ground, covering a thick layer. After eating their fill, the two little creatures happily lay down in the pile of spiritual crystals to sleep.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man was using his fingers to massage their bellies after eating…

Ye Feng simply ignored this heartwarming scene and focused entirely on the domain value.

At that moment, staying in the inn, Ye Feng had no idea the stir his actions had caused.

Outside the inn, news of the robbery of the two guardians of the Alchemy Sect had spread throughout the entire Agri Planet.

“The Alchemy Sect has really been unlucky lately. Not only did one of their guardians die, but a powerful warrior also robbed the other two in public!”

“I heard that man is extremely strong. With just one move, he sent two late-stage transcendence warriors straight into the ground!”

“I even saw the two guardians flee when they realized they couldn’t match him!”

“I guess the two guardians are probably already dead now…”

…

All these swirling rumors made the people of the Alchemy Sect’s branch feel uneasy.

It wasn’t until Jiang Yuansong and Lin Peng appeared at the sect’s entrance, dressed in clean clothes, that the people of the Alchemy Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Elders, what exactly happened? There’s so much chatter outside! Were you really robbed?” asked a curious fellow.

“Indeed, someone came to trouble us, and they were quite strong. But we killed them together!” Lin Peng knew well that it was absolutely impossible for them to admit that they had been robbed. But if they said the opponent had escaped, the others in the Alchemy Sect would likely continue to investigate, so they simply said they had killed them.
“We knew our two senior masters would surely win!” Hearing Lin Peng’s words, the people of the Alchemy Sect finally felt relieved.
“With rumors spreading everywhere now, I think we should post some notices to let those spreading rumors know that the provocateur has been killed. Tell them to stop spreading rumors!” one of them suggested. “If we let these rumors continue, our Alchemy Sect’s reputation will be severely damaged.”
Upon hearing this suggestion, Lin Peng and Jiang Yuansong’s expressions immediately turned grim. They thought that if the two who had robbed them found out about this, it might be troublesome.
“Besides, the Twelfth Elder will be arriving in a few days. If she hears such rumors that harm our sect, her impression of our two senior masters will surely suffer greatly!” another person brought up another factor.
At this thought, Lin Peng and Jiang Yuansong’s faces stiffened. Indeed, if such news reached the Twelfth Elder’s ears, they would truly lose all face.
“Let’s first consider the consequences before taking action!” Jiang Yuansong raised his left hand toward the others. “We’ll find a proper solution before the Twelfth Elder arrives! There’s no need for further discussion!”
After sending the others away, Lin Peng looked at Jiang Yuansong anxiously. “What do we do now? If we don’t take any action, these rumors won’t disappear on their own in a few days. The longer they persist, the further they spread, and they might even reach other planets.”
“The main problem now is that in three or four days, once the Twelfth Elder arrives, if she finds out about this, she will definitely investigate to the bottom. By then, not only will her impression of us be the worst ever, but she’ll also uncover the truth and hunt down that person. We’ve seen his strength—he’s at least at the mid-Mahayana level, and he might not be weaker than the Twelfth Elder. If the Twelfth Elder can’t kill him, he’ll definitely come after us as he promised.”

“By then, it won’t just be a matter of temporary shame! Our names will be carved onto the top of the Shame List in the cultivation world with knives. Even if our souls are shattered by the heavenly calamity or if we ascend to the heavens, countless descendants in the cultivation world will laugh at us. To date, there has never been an incident of someone being stripped naked in public in the cultivation world—I don’t want to be the first test subject!” Jiang Yuansong was clearly most concerned about this. He could easily imagine that if Ye Feng really came to take revenge, the two of them would be infamous in the cultivation world for thousands of years. “To settle this matter, we can only spread the false news that we’ve already killed him!”
“But what if he’s seen in another place again?” Lin Peng asked.
“We can explain that there might be two Yuan Ying in his body. We shattered one and left, and then he pretended to be dead to escape!” Jiang Yuansong, as expected, was more experienced.
“But what if he gets angry because of this? Saying we defeated him will also hurt his face! He might come after us to take revenge!” Lin Peng was still worried.
“We can explain that because the elders of our sect came, and we were afraid they would investigate this matter, so we had no choice but to cover it up. He himself said he dislikes trouble, and we’re helping him solve it! This is the best way to deal with trouble!” Jiang Yuansong wasn’t entirely sure either—whether he could convince the other party if they came after them.
Lin Peng finally calmed down and nodded after a while. “Alright, this is the only option…”
The people of the Alchemy Sect acted very quickly. After getting the approval of their two guardians, they posted advertisements all over the city where the rumors were spreading in less than an hour.
“The provocateurs in the busy streets have been killed by two guardians of our sect! Those who spread malicious rumors are asked to stop spreading false information! Violators will be held accountable!” It was signed by the Alchemy Sect, with its red seal on it.
Seeing the advertisements posted everywhere, the rumors finally stopped. Although some doubted the truth of the matter, after all, no one was very interested in delving deeper into such trivial talk, and no one wanted to provoke a large sect like the Alchemy Sect.
In the room next to Ye Feng’s, the old man and two men in black were sitting around a round table.
“You must have heard about what those people were frantically discussing this morning!” The old man looked at the two men in black.

“I’ve heard about it. The one who took on two opponents alone must be a scattered immortal or a powerful being at the Great Vehicle stage.” Geng Lin nodded, giving his answer.
“Indeed. With those two equipped with top-tier spiritual artifacts, it’s hard for even peers to gain an advantage against them, let alone when they’re fighting together. Moreover, it’s said that when they attack simultaneously, their opponent is sent flying with just one move! We didn’t witness it firsthand, but that’s enough to show their cultivation level is far above theirs.” Duan Yan agreed with him.
“That’s your opinion?” The old man Makas shook his head, looking somewhat disappointed.
“Elder, have we said something wrong?” Duan Yan looked at Makas curiously.
“Actually, it’s precisely because I can’t quite believe what I saw that I asked for your opinions!” Makas said, clearly having witnessed something.
“Elder, did you investigate the scene of that fight?” Geng Lin and Duan Yan both looked at him curiously. “Do you know who did this?”
“Hmm, a little kid who gave me quite a few surprises!” Makas nodded but didn’t reveal who it was.
Seeing that Makas refused to reveal the identity, Geng Lin couldn’t help but ask, “Whoever it was, they must have been killed by those two together! Since the Alchemy Sect dared to post that notice, it means the matter is settled. If that person were still alive and saw it, they’d definitely cause trouble for those two!”
“No, that person is still alive. Moreover, they stripped those two prideful guardians of everything—storage rings, spiritual artifacts, not a single thing left…” Makas smirked. “Such a prank really reminds me of my youth! A very interesting little guy…”
Makas clearly had seen the whole thing.
“But why would the people from the Alchemy Sect post that notice?” the two asked in confusion.
“Because they care too much about face!” Makas said matter-of-factly. “If it were you, what would you do in such a situation?”
The two hesitated for a moment before lowering their heads and staying silent.
“I haven’t been out much these past years. I didn’t expect this trip to be interesting!” Makas turned his head slightly, glancing at the next room, his wrinkles at the corners of his eyes lifting slightly.
