(For free.) When Ye Feng arrived at the temporary residence set up by Wang Hai Pai with Mei Qiruo and Zhen Xuetian, the elder of Jian Ge who was in charge of garrisoning here was stunned, momentarily stunned, and dared not believe his eyes.

  Could it be that Ye Feng changed his route on the way back and didn't take the road with an ambush?

  He didn't notice the elder's astonished gaze, but Ye Feng was even more certain that the black-clad man who had attacked him was from Jian Ge Pavilion.

  "Elder, we're back." Mei Zhi Ru stepped forward and paid her respects to the elder.

  "Ah, just come back, just come back." The elder hastily concealed his doubts and registered the names of the three people.

  Then he asked about what happened to the three people inside the ruins. After all, the three of them were the first to come out, and the elder also wanted to know what was inside.

  "Alas, let's not mention it, apart from seeing some scrap copper and iron on the outskirts of the ruins, nothing was gained. And several times encountered other cultivators' sneak attacks, it was simply a narrow escape from death." Ye Feng sighed.

  The elder was stunned, it's impossible, Elder Li Xincheng didn't even arrange for anyone to make a move on Ye Feng inside the Great Plains, first because he was afraid of not being able to beat Ye Feng, and second because he didn't want his disciple to miss this good opportunity and delay the important matter of treasure hunting.

  Compared with finding treasure, killing Ye Feng can still be delayed a bit.

  "This is it, the disciple killed a group of ambushing cultivators and obtained this spear." Ye Feng took out the long spear from his storage bag, and a surge of killing intent suddenly rose up on the elder's body.

  "Not bad, kid!" The elder praised, such a weapon even made him a little envious.

  "So you didn't get anything inside the ruins?" The elder still seemed somewhat skeptical, and if he hadn't been ordered to stay here on guard, he would have rushed into the ruins the moment the seal was broken.

  "It's not entirely in vain," said Ye Feng.

  Hmph! I knew it, entering the ancient ruins and getting nothing? It's obviously a scam.

  "This was obtained from within the ruins, a butcher knife." Ye Feng took out the Dragon Slaying Knife and handed it over to the elder for inspection.

  He is not afraid of being recognized by the elder as a treasure.

  One is that the remains of the dragon-slaying knife were exposed, and covering it up would only make others think it's a treasure, so it's better to be open about it.

  Two, the Dragon Slaying Knife has acknowledged its master, and no one else can recognize that this is a treasure. With such an appearance, even if Ye Feng holds the Dragon Slaying Knife and chases after someone to tell them it's a magical artifact, no one would believe him. Moreover, Ye Feng has absolute confidence that no one can take the Dragon Slaying Knife away from him.

  On the way back, Ye Feng had Mei Zhi Ruo and Zhen Xue Tian respectively appraise the Tú Lóng Dāo. The result was that both of them came to the same conclusion: a pig-killing knife, an ordinary pig-killing knife that couldn't be any more ordinary, and it's even on the verge of rotting away.

  "Congratulations to you, able to get the ancient killing pig knife, it's also fate." The elder pretended to congratulate Ye Feng, but in his heart he was strongly holding back, almost bursting out laughing.

  The trash body is indeed a waste, even the treasure found is different from others, a rusty and worn-out pig-killing knife. Elder Ye has already made up his mind about Ye Feng's character.

  "It's really unlucky, not only was I ambushed in the ruins, but also when I was about to come out, I had already reached the edge of the Great Plains, and yet I still encountered an ambush. What bad luck!" Ye Feng shook his head and said.

  "What's going on?" The elder was furious at the time.

  The anxious look on the elder's face was so comical in the eyes of the three, if they didn't know it was a sneak attack arranged by Jian Ge, they would definitely think the elder was concerned about them, this anxious look should have touched the three deeply.

  Now all three of them vaguely confirmed that it was Jian Ge's arrangement, and the elder was anxious for the three sneak attackers.

  Ye Feng recounted what had happened when he was ambushed.

  "What about the one who ambushed you?" The elder asked hastily.

  "They're all dead, I've taken care of them. How dare they make a move behind my back? Do you think I'd let them live?" Ye Feng's demeanor changed, and he spoke with a fierce tone.

  "Dead? All dead?" The elder couldn't believe his ears, staring blankly at Ye Feng. He was extremely familiar with the cultivation of the three people, especially since one of them was a Foundation Establishment stage elder. To think that they could take down Ye Feng was simply a waste of great talent.

  "Has the identity of the person who ambushed you been investigated?" The elder suddenly reacted, if their identities were exposed, it would be disastrous. If Ye Feng told Gong Sun Hui, the leader, about this, Jian Ge (Sword Pavilion) would be in trouble.

  "That master of the foundation period finally wanted to say that I didn't give him a chance." Ye Feng's words made the elder feel much more at ease.

  "It's better to be dead, it's better to be dead." The elder muttered, the dead will not reveal any secrets, although only a few people know about this matter, but there is no evidence to prove otherwise, and it can just pass like this.

  "I thought that if the master of the Building Foundation School poured dirty water on another school at the last moment, our Wanghai School would be in a difficult situation. Because it's not realistic to go to war with other schools over this matter, and if we don't go to war, as the victim, the disciples' hearts won't feel good either. So I didn't give him any chance, also hoping that the black hand behind will behave itself a bit. If there is next time, don't blame me for being impolite." Ye Feng's eyes emitted fierce killing intent, piercing into the elder's heart.

  The elder couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, such a strong killing aura. The elder thought to himself, this Ye Feng looks like he's only in his teens, yet he seems like a demon who has been through countless battles, it's best to avoid him from now on. With this thought in mind, the elder never provoked Ye Feng again.

  "I don't know how you defeated those three sneak attackers, especially with a foundation-building expert among them." The elder was very puzzled.

  "It's all thanks to my pet, I tamed a high-level pet in the ruins and it was effortless to take down those three unlucky ones." Ye Feng said with a hint of threat in his tone.

  "Bang!" As if in coordination with Ye Feng, Sanlang also rushed over.

  "This is it!" The elder saw Sanlang's tall figure, feeling the endless pressure that Sanlang brought to him, and was suddenly frightened into speechlessness.

  "Don't be afraid, elder, this is my pet Sanlang." Ye Feng pointed at the wolf-headed monster and said.

  The elder was speechless at once. No wonder the mission to assassinate Ye Feng this time would fail, with this guy protecting him on the side, even if the sect leader came, it's not necessarily possible to win.

  Those three guys were also asking for trouble, seeing Ye Feng had such a powerful bodyguard by his side, how could they still not open their eyes and take action? The elder didn't know that the three Sword Pavilion disciples didn't even know Ye Feng had Bodyguard Sanlang. By the time they found out, it was already too late.

  Ye Feng told Lao about some things in the ruins and then rode a flying crane back to Wang Hai with Mei Zhi Ruo and Zhen Xue Tian.

  Three people have just returned to Wanghai School, causing a huge shock.

  "Ye Feng is back!"

  "The three of them have returned from the ruins!" The news quickly spread throughout the Wanghai Sect.

  Before Ye Feng and the other two returned to their respective residences, they had already received a decree from the sect leader through his disciples, ordering them to go directly to Gong Sun Hui's place.

  The three of them exchanged a glance, unsure what the sect leader meant, and could only follow behind that disciple. They arrived at the mountain peak where the sect leader Gong Sun Hui resided.

  Gongsun Hui occupied the main peak of the Wanghai Sect alone, and it was rare for disciples to come here unless something extremely special happened.

  "The disciples pay their respects to the leader." The three of them simultaneously bowed deeply to Gong Sun, whose cultivation was so profound that it was impossible for them to sense.

  "You're back, great." Gong Sun smiled and looked at Ye Feng and the other two.

  "What did you gain from this trip to the ruins."

  Here is the translation:

  The real thing has arrived! Ye Feng thought to himself, is it time to pick peaches now?

  In theory, any treasure obtained by a disciple should belong to the person themselves. However, the items in the ruins are really too valuable, and Gong Sun won't be able to do otherwise. I estimate that all the sects will also do the same.

  It's impossible for a disciple like you to obtain such a precious item.

  Ye Feng took out his own storage bag and handed it over to Gong Sun Hui.

  "Reporting to the leader, this is what we three have gained from this trip, and it's all stored here with me, just preparing to hand it over." Ye Feng only held the Fan Tian Seal and the Lamenting Soul Bell in his hands, these two treasures were not obtained from the ancient ruins, no need to hand them over.

  Gongsun opened Ye Feng's storage bag and took a look, only to find that it was filled with nothing but scrap copper and iron, all of which were broken beyond recognition and completely worthless.

  Actually, slightly better items, such as the small tripod and the small sword found by Mei Zhi Rou, were all taken back into the inner world by Ye Feng on their way back.

  As Ye Feng said, this is called being prepared for danger. We risked our lives to enter the ancient ruins, went through countless near-death experiences, and obtained these treasures. Why should we hand them over? That would be stupid.

  Zhen Xue Tian naturally did the same as Ye Feng.

  Mei Zhiyao seems somewhat cold and aloof, but in some matters, she appears to be very principled. However, she now almost completely submits to Ye Feng's words. Between the sect and Ye Feng, she will fully stand on Ye Feng's side, which is unimaginable in the past. The former Mei Zhiyao would never have hidden her true feelings.

  "What is this." Gong Sun wasn't very interested in the pile of broken copper and scrap iron that Ye Feng had taken out, but suddenly saw a relatively intact weapon, which was in the shape of a pig-killing knife.

  "Hui Zhangmen, this is a treasure that the disciple obtained in the ancient ruins. The disciple has named it 'Tulong Knife'." Ye Feng said.

  Gongsun Hui's gaze was fixed on the Dragon Slaying Knife, and Ye Feng was also very tense. If Gongsun Hui were to discover the secret of the Dragon Slaying Knife, he would not hesitate to snatch it away, take Mei Zhiruo and Zhen Xuetian with him, and immediately enter the inner world of his body. Even a powerful expert like Gongsun Hui would be powerless against him.

  "You're such a naughty one, with a slaughter knife that's almost rotten." Gong Sun Hui laughed.

  "The disciple hasn't seen much of the world and thinks this is a peerless treasured sword." Ye Feng smiled awkwardly.

  "Alright, this Dragon Slaying Sword is yours then." Gong Sun intentionally teased Ye Feng, this little guy had left a strong impression on Gong Sun in the life and death arena, if it wasn't for the Chaotic Body, the Wang Hai Sect would definitely make him a priority to cultivate.

  "Thank you, Master!" Ye Feng was overjoyed. Now all his worries were gone and he could rightfully own the Dragon Slaying Knife. Even if the knife showed its true divine nature again in the future, no one would be able to say anything about it.

  "These old items are yours too, maybe you can exchange them for some crystal stones." Gong Sun saw that these broken copper and iron things were of no use, so he simply gave them away generously.

  As for the disciples not being able to obtain some high-ranking magical treasures in the ruins, Gong Sun had mentally prepared himself for this outcome. After all, there were too many sects participating in this treasure hunt, and the Wang Hai Sect was just a small and insignificant one; it was simply a trial for the disciples to go out and gain experience.

  "What's going on outside, it's so noisy." Gong Sun heard some commotion outside.

  "Report back to the leader, it's possible that the disciple's pet has scared someone else," said Ye Feng.

  "What kind of pet would scare people?" Gong Sun led a few people out of their residence and saw the tall figure of the wolf-headed monster standing not far away, his disciples were all trembling with fear.

  "Yefeng, what's going on!" Gong Sun pointed at Sanlang and asked, Sanlang gave him an extremely strong pressure, to release such a deterrent, at least it was a Jindan period master, could this big fellow be Yefeng's pet.

  Gongsun Hui was actually mistaken, Sanlang's cultivation is not just the Golden Elixir stage, but far beyond that. It's just that Ye Feng asked Sanlang to hide his true strength so as not to shock people.

  "This is a pet that was tamed by the disciples in the ruins, and it has already recognized me as its master." Ye Feng said proudly: "Third Brother, haven't you greeted the Sect Master yet?"

  Sanlang cleverly bowed to Gong Sun.

  "Good, good, good." Gong Sun Hui said three goods in a row, making Ye Feng happy and also making the Wang Hai faction happy.

  Sanlang is Ye Feng's pet, Ye Feng is a disciple of the Wanghai Sect, isn't Sanlang also a part of the Wanghai Sect's strength? A Jindan period pet, ah, his cultivation is not inferior to mine. Gong Sun Hui stroked his mustache with satisfaction.
