Xu Feng comforted Fu Yuehe softly: "Yuehe, thank you for telling me all this. Leave the rest to me."

Fu Yuehe couldn't stop crying again, choking and saying, "Brother Xu, if the fourth lady knew that I told you the truth and betrayed her, I'm afraid I'll be in great danger."

No matter when, betrayal cannot be easily forgiven.

"She won't know that what Sikong Hongyu saw in me was my ability to sense danger in advance. I will tell her that I sensed something was wrong at the last moment before you and I were about to consummate our marriage. I became suspicious and tortured you in every way. How could an ordinary person like you resist me?

You revealed everything when you were helpless. "Xu Feng said. He himself didn't know if he would have been fooled if Fu Yuehe hadn't told him frankly. Not to mention Sikong Hongyu.

After hearing what Xu Feng said, Fu Yuehe's heart finally calmed down a lot.

……

Twenty miles away from Scarlet Cloud City, in a sparse forest, the sky was gray and there was a dull and depressing feeling as if a storm was about to come.

Xu Feng leaned casually against the tree trunk, holding a weed in his mouth, his arms folded across his chest, waiting quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, he sensed someone approaching, so he stood up and looked in the direction of the person.

Sikong Hongyu, along with his four trusted guards, slowly came to within about ten meters of Xu Feng. The two sides looked at each other from a distance without saying a word.

Xu Feng stared at Sikong Hongyu playfully, his eyes carrying an inexplicable meaning.

"What? You, have nothing to say?" After a moment, Xu Feng spoke first.

Sikong Hongyu frowned slightly, but the four guards behind her looked extremely unhappy when they saw Xu Feng being so rude to their master. If Sikong Hongyu had not been very strict with her rules, they would have been unable to resist teaching Xu Feng a lesson.

"Should I say you are conceited, or stupid?" Xu Feng sneered and slowly raised one hand, with his fingertips pointing upwards. Thunder rumbled in the gray sky.

"You clearly know that I have a keen sense of danger, but you still cling to luck and use such despicable means to repay kindness with enmity." Xu Feng suddenly pointed his finger in the direction of the four people.

"Boom." Seven or eight thunderbolts suddenly fell, hitting the four people in the blink of an eye. However, the four people all had protective items on them, which were activated instantly, and colorful lights flashed continuously for a while.

I didn't expect Xu Feng to attack without saying a word, and he actually had the means to control the mysterious power of thunder. Except for Sikong Hongyu, the other four people immediately jumped away. It was too convenient to attack when they gathered together.

However, although the protective items on their bodies blocked most of the power of thunder, only a little bit of it fell on their bodies. Although it did not cause any damage, the paralyzing effect of the thunder still took effect. The four people's figures shot out were a little shaky, as if they were out of control.

Xu Feng sneered. Perhaps it was because the cultivation conditions on this continent were more favorable. The thunder power released and triggered by the Thunder Yuan Pearl, which contained a trace of the power of the thunder law, was much stronger than that on the Fenyan Continent. It was difficult to resist it if one was below the sixth level of the Human Yuan Realm relying solely on one's own strength.

Xu Feng merely snapped his fingers, and thunder began to fall from the sky endlessly. From seven or eight at the beginning, to dozens and hundreds of them, this area seemed to have become his domain.

Sikong Hongyu's four guards dispersed and quickly approached him, trying to counterattack Xu Feng, but Xu Feng's sudden attack made them lose the initiative. With their bodies paralyzed, it was quite inconvenient for them to mobilize their spiritual power.

Sikong Hongyu was unharmed, but he just stood by and watched without taking any action, but there was a glimmer of something strange in his eyes.

Xu Feng was able to handle the four with ease, because the power of thunder did not belong to his own strength, so he could use it without considering the consumption. The four trusted guards could not dodge the swift power of thunder. After consuming all their protective items, they had no power to fight back and were blasted by thunder until their bodies were burnt black, seriously injured and dying.

Of course, it’s not that these four cultivators at the fifth level of the Yuan Realm are so weak. The main reason is that Xu Feng made preparations in advance. His Thunder Yuan Pearls were ready to be activated at any time. In addition, the sudden attack paralyzed their bodies and made it difficult for them to mobilize their spiritual power. They could not exert their full strength, so they were easily defeated by Xu Feng.

The several attacks they launched on Xu Feng were so hasty and ineffective that Xu Feng easily dodged them and posed no threat at all.

Of course, Xu Feng did not dare to harm their lives. Sikong Hongyu watched coldly without taking any action. He had prepared in advance to deal with the four guards, but he was not arrogant enough to think that he could fight against the fourth young lady of the Sikong family who had many trump cards.

Xu Feng didn't want to completely break up with her for the time being. Of course, he still pretended to be ready to leave Chiyun City at any time. This was also the reason why he chose to meet her here.

"Guard Xu, have you vented your anger?" Sikong Hongyu asked calmly when the dust had settled.

"Hmph." Xu Feng snorted coldly and did not answer.

"The Soul Thread Technique is just a test of your perception ability. If you can detect what I want you to help with, then you will have 30% confidence. If you fail, then it will be a waste of effort." Sikong Hongyu continued. If Fu Yuehe failed, she was just an ordinary woman, and naturally she couldn't hide it from Xu Feng. So she stopped hiding it.

"Miss Fourth is really good at talking. You almost made me a puppet at your mercy. Do you expect to get rid of me so easily?" Xu Feng folded his arms across his chest and said sarcastically.

"I indeed owe you this. After I go back, I will give you a hundred spirit stones as compensation. At the same time, I will tell you everything I need your assistance with. It is a great opportunity. I have been preparing for this for more than ten years. If it can be successfully completed, the reward you get will be enough for you to no longer lack what you need for cultivation before you reach the Earth Gang Realm." Sikong Hongyu said.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved at all, but after a long silence, Xu Feng still shook his head.

"I don't believe you." These five simple words made Sikong Hongyu feel helpless and embarrassed.

"So what do you want?" Xu Feng didn't turn around and leave, which meant there was still room for him to turn around. Sikong Hongyu didn't want to beat around the bush and said directly.

"I want you to swear with your heart that you will not harm me or the people around me in any way, directly or indirectly. If you break this oath, not only you, but the entire Sikong family will be punished by heaven and will not have a good end." Xu Feng said in a cold voice.

Sikong Hongyu's face turned cold. This oath was really too outrageous, but Xu Feng didn't give her any time to speak.

"You only have ten breaths. After ten breaths, if you have not sworn, I will flee from here immediately. Although I can't do anything to you, if I am determined to leave, you can't stop me." Xu Feng said.

Sikong Hongyu's face froze, but thinking of his plan over the years, he finally swore an oath with his heart of Taoism.

……

For all cultivators, unless they are on the path of evil ways, they are still quite taboo about the Dao Heart Oath. Since Sikong Hongyu made the oath according to his request, Xu Feng felt relieved. He took back the Thunder Yuan Pearl, took it into his body, and got the healing pill from Sikong Hongyu and gave it to her four subordinates.

After the four of them were able to move, they returned to Scarlet Cloud City with different thoughts. Although they were very angry with Xu Feng, they had to admit that the four guards were also wary of him.

In the restaurant box, Xu Feng and Sikong Hongyu sat opposite each other.

"Tell me, what is the opportunity?" Because of Sikong Hongyu's improper behavior, Xu Feng was too lazy to act like a subordinate. Showing weakness all the time would make the other party look down on him and think he could do whatever he wanted. So he would rather expose his biggest trump card to let the other party know that he was not someone who would just accept it and let him do whatever he wanted.
