Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Combat Power Off the Charts
For a time, as the message from the Celestial Net spread, Shu Qiya and Uncle Qi were both dumbfounded.
Especially Shu Qiya, as he saw more and more people willing to take on this mission, he became even more flustered.
He really didn’t expect Ye Feng to counter him with such methods; it was the most direct and effective move, leaving him feeling helpless.
"How... how can he do this? Damn it." Seeing that Uncle Qi had no solutions, Shu Qiya cursed in anger.
He was really panicking, expecting to live on edge for a long time, afraid that a moment of carelessness would lead to his death at the hands of an assassin.
Although he could activate the strongest security, how could such intense security possibly run 24/7, without a single pause?
But, as long as he was a bit careless, gave the other party a slight chance, he might be finished.
He couldn’t afford to gamble, and he didn’t want to die.
So, he frantically contacted the strongest security company, hoping to seek their protection.
However, upon hearing it was Shu Qiya, the security companies all made excuses to decline.
Indeed, anyone with some news would know that Shu Qiya was already listed on the Celestial Net, with a bounty of one hundred million Mg Blades on his head, watched by countless assassins.
So, for safety reasons, they didn’t dare agree.
"Damn it! Is my money shit? Can’t I even spend my money? These damn bastards, always boasting about how awesome they are, but now? They’re not worth shit, I’m so pissed off." After hanging up the phone, Shu Qiya threw his phone in anger.
He felt that this time he was truly doomed.
As for his reliance on Uncle Qi, he had quietly escaped while Shu Qiya was on the phone, planning to flee far away.
....
"Hmph! Fight with me?" On the other side, Ye Feng, after seeing the message on the Celestial Net, snorted coldly and then turned off the Celestial Net.
Ye Feng’s idea was very simple, he just wanted to kill the person who posted the task, and by the time the bounty couldn’t be collected, no one would be willing to perform the task.
As Ye Feng put down his phone, he saw his account being credited with over fifty billion.
"What’s going on?" Seeing so much money, Ye Feng was a bit surprised.
Just then, the phone rang.
Seeing it was Xu Hong calling, Ye Feng quickly answered the call.
"Uncle, did you receive the money? I heard you needed money, so I settled the previous Magical Artifact proceeds for you." As soon as the call connected, Xu Hong’s laughter came through.
"Those Magical Artifacts sold for this much?" Hearing this, Ye Feng was even more surprised.
He knew this batch of Magical Artifacts could sell for a lot, but he didn’t expect them to sell for so much.
You know, Ye Feng had already taken some before, and even overdrafted a bit.
But even so, there were still over fifty billion in proceeds, enough to prove how sought-after and valuable these Magical Artifacts were.
"Yes, deducting those earlier, this is what’s left." Xu Hong nodded and explained with a smile, "Uncle, you wouldn’t believe it, once the effects of the Magical Artifacts got publicized, their reputation exploded, making countless moguls and big shots scramble for them."
"So, the price of the Magical Artifacts kept rising, each time fetching terrifying prices, and even after auctioning off these dozens of Magical Artifacts, countless people still want to buy from me; they’re really in high demand."
Hearing Xu Hong’s words, Ye Feng felt relieved.
Indeed, for such life-saving items, no matter how much they were sold for, those big shots would go all out to buy them, as long as the price didn’t exceed their net worth, and as long as they had enough money, they deemed it worth spending more.
This led to an ever-improving reputation and growing prices.
"Uncle, when are you going to make another batch? I promise I can sell them for even more money." Xu Hong said with a smile while Ye Feng was silent.
Although Xu Hong didn’t make money selling Magical Artifacts, he accumulated a lot of connections through these transactions, so he was passionate about it and enjoyed it immensely.
He felt that if he grasped this, he could firmly have many people in his grip, making anything he undertook easier.
"Let’s wait a bit longer! There’s no urgent need for money right now; wait for the Magical Artifacts to ferment for a while, and their prices will go higher." Ye Feng thought for a moment, then replied.
"Alright!" Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Xu Hong nodded and didn’t insist.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Feng repaid all the money he previously borrowed.
Previously, Ye Feng had wired over two hundred million Mg Blades on the Celestial Net, which was nearly ten billion Dragon Coins.
Ye Feng hadn’t had this much money before, so he borrowed some temporarily.
But now Ye Feng was rich, holding over fifty billion, so what did tens of billions even matter?
After solving the money issue, Ye Feng began to nurture the people around him.
Previously, these people were just barely sufficient for protection tasks.
But now, it’s far from enough, Ye Feng must boost his capabilities.
So, Ye Feng spent several days, expending some resources and pills, raising all the cultivators he recruited earlier to above the peak Martial Venerable level.
Moreover, their combat strength was significantly stronger than their Realm.
For instance, even the weakest peak Martial Venerable could rival a Martial Saint, let alone the more formidable half-step Martial Saint, Quasi-Martial Saint, and Martial Saint.
Apart from Xu Tian and Nameless, the strongest among them was an intermediate Martial Saint.
His strength was akin to a half-step Martial God, boasting an incredibly monstrous combat prowess.
With their guardianship, Ye Feng could rest easy against ordinary assassins.
As for Xu Tian and Nameless, their strength also saw significant enhancement.
Nameless was at the peak of half-step Martial Saint, capable of contending, if not defeating, a Martial God.
Although Xu Tian was slightly less advanced, under Ye Feng’s focused guidance, his Realm reached the level of a seasoned Quasi-Martial Saint, able to compete with a Quasi-Martial God.
With this, the cultivators around Ye Feng gained substantial power, allowing Ye Feng more peace of mind.
Apart from them, Ye Feng’s own strength also saw a substantial increase, reaching the peak of a half-step Martial Saint.
Moreover, under the influence of Situ Jing, his True Qi within him became more condensed during this period, and his combat power exploded directly.
At the same time, while Ye Feng was desperately strengthening his forces, across the ocean, some very exciting events were unfolding.
Indeed, following Ye Feng’s bounty posting, across the ocean, it couldn’t be more thrilling.
Wasn’t it? Countless assassins, in order to claim the bounty and grab the opportunity, headed to where Shu Qiya was, hiding in advance, ready to strike decisively once an opportunity arose.
Because they knew very well that once they fell behind, someone else might complete the task; the competition was imaginable.
And Shu Qiya, after the bounty task was posted, didn’t dare to step outside, spending his days anxiety-ridden, hiding indoors....
