Chapter 846: Where Are You Running, You Dog

"Why aren’t you making a move?" Yi Feng asked.

Old Man Wang replied with a cold face, "Sir, do you think I can kill you?"

"Why couldn’t you?" Yi Feng said. "Just go ahead and give me a stab. Don’t worry about the rest."

"Fine, I’ll do it then."

Seeing Yi Feng’s insistence, Old Man Wang picked up the knife, let out a shout, and channeled all his strength into the blade. With a mighty swing, the knife came down directly onto Yi Feng’s shoulder.

But to Yi Feng, it felt like nothing.

"Is that all you’ve got?" Yi Feng cursed. "Put some effort into it!"

The knife had hit his shoulder, yet he felt absolutely nothing. Killing him? It wasn’t even enough to shave a hair.

Old Man Wang looked crestfallen. "That... that was all the strength I have!" he cried. "You’re not someone I can even hope to harm!"

"Oh, right?" Yi Feng suddenly realized his own strength.

Yes, he was a high-level expert who had leveled up by slaying monsters. And what about this old man?

"Yeah, I guess I overlooked that," Yi Feng said, getting up to leave. "Still, you’re way too weak. At least leave a mark, will you?"

With a disdainful glance, Yi Feng walked out of the room.

"I’m... I’m too weak!" Old Man Wang muttered in shame, his face flushed. He had recently made some progress and was considered one of the top fighters on the island, even feeling rather proud of himself. Yet, here he was, being called too weak by Yi Feng.

"I need to work harder," he decided.

Yi Feng stood at the highest point of the street, scanning the crowd below with a single glance.

*Sigh.*

Everyone, just like Old Man Wang, was a weakling. There wasn’t a single person who could kill him. It seemed that finding death on this island was impossible.

"I’ll have to go out and provoke some legendary master to kill me," Yi Feng thought.

He had been cursing the emergence of those so-called "Dao Realm" and "Trial Realm" masters recently. Just when he was about to become invincible in the Nine Realms, these new, even more powerful experts appeared, making him feel cautious again. But now, it seemed like a blessing in disguise. These new experts, who had recently entered the Nine Realms, were exactly what he needed. Finding someone strong enough to kill him wouldn’t be a problem now.

"So, when I encounter one of these masters, I’ll just go and provoke them," Yi Feng planned. "Maybe even curse their entire family for eighteen generations. Surely, they’ll kill me then."

But first, he needed to trade this demon core. He wondered when that girl would gather enough money.

"Money is still the most important thing in the world," Yi Feng thought.

While Yi Feng was desperately seeking death in the Shadow Island...

In the Nine Realms.

Three spirit ships from the Three Lives Sect sped through the sky. On the deck stood rows of black-clad figures. Leading the expedition was the sect’s Third Elder, Sun Li.

"Shi Yuan, explain it to me again. What exactly happened?" Sun Li asked.

"Elder, my brother and I were tracking that centipede and the soul entity into the Black Domain. But there, we unexpectedly discovered a piece of miraculous land."

"That land is completely unaffected by the Black Domain. It’s as if some mysterious force is actively repelling the Black Domain and protecting that area. So, we guessed that there must be a great treasure buried beneath it!"

"Oh? Is that true? A land completely unaffected by the Black Domain?" Sun Li asked in astonishment.

"Absolutely true, Elder!" Shi Yuan confirmed.

"Good! In that case, speed up! I want to see this for myself," Sun Li ordered.

With his command, the three spirit ships accelerated, streaking through the sky like meteors.

They soon entered the Black Domain, and not long after, a bright area appeared. Shi Hao, who had been stationed there, quickly stood up to welcome them.

From afar, Sun Li spotted the area. It wasn’t large, only about a hundred zhang in radius, but it was indeed completely untouched by the Black Domain.

The ships landed, and dozens of experts descended. Once inside the area, they confirmed that they didn’t need any protection—the Black Domain had no effect on them.

"Truly a miraculous land!" Elder Sun Li couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Indeed, Elder," Shi Yuan said. "The most mysterious part is that, despite our strength, we can’t detect any anomalies or formation fluctuations. That’s why we suspect there must be something buried underground."

"Yes, I agree," Elder Sun Li said with a serious nod. "Then let’s start digging. Whatever is down there, we’ll find it!"

"Right!"

The disciples of the Three Lives Sect immediately got to work. With their strength, they could flatten a mountain with a single palm strike, but since they didn’t know what was buried beneath, they decided to dig by hand.

---

"Brother, shouldn’t we find a time to sell off the loot?" In a small room, Lou Benwei, the dog, the potion, the centipede, and the Spirit King huddled together nervously.

"Shh!" Lou Benwei said. "Not yet. If the master finds out I stole his money pouch again, I’ll be torn apart. Let’s lay low for now and avoid suspicion."

"Big brother is wise!" The others nodded in agreement.

"Brother, where did you hide the money pouch?" the dog asked cautiously.

"There’s a saying: the most dangerous place is the safest place," Lou Benwei said proudly. "I dug a hole near the teleportation gate and hid the pouch there. The master would never think of looking for his money there."

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

"Big brother is the perfect combination of looks, brains, and strength!"

"You’re my idol!"

"I love you, brother!"

The others showered him with praise, their eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key," Lou Benwei said, waving his hand with confidence. "For now, let’s just act obedient around the master. That way, he’ll never suspect I took his money."

"Ahahaha..."

The group burst into muffled laughter inside the small room.

Suddenly, a massive, dark shadow enveloped the room. A terrifying demonic aura filled the air, and a chilling killing intent descended.

Lou Benwei’s laughter stopped abruptly, and he shivered. With a swift movement, he slipped out through a crack in the wall.

"Where do you think you’re running, you dog?" The demonic shadow, holding a sword, thrust it forward.

"Whoosh!"

The sword pierced through Lou Benwei’s buttocks, pinning him to the ground.

The others were paralyzed with fear. They wanted to help their brother, but who could withstand that sword? Trembling and chattering, they huddled in the corner, too scared to move.
