Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Divine Puppet

Xu Changfeng quickly flew back to his residence and saw that Wang Yuyan had already woken up. He walked straight over, but because Xu Changfeng had been too rough with Wang Yuyan last night, her legs could not walk straight and she had to limp. However, Xu Changfeng did not show any mercy, because he was the antagonist. He directly ordered Wang Yuyan to find a reason to let Ye Tian go and gave her four fourth-grade Qi-replenishing pills to help her recover. Wang Yuyan accepted Xu Changfeng's command without hesitation and began to refine the pills.

Xu Changfeng walked out of the holy land and turned around outside. "System, can I still go back?" he asked.

"Ding, host, when you arrived, your body had been burned to ashes, so you cannot go back. Why not enjoy the present?" the system replied.

"Well, as long as the little girl I saved is okay, it's fine. Let's consider this as my second life! By the way, besides Ye Tian, can you detect other qi destiny children?" Xu Changfeng asked.

"Of course, as long as the host approaches someone related to the qi destiny children, the next qi destiny child can be unlocked," the system answered.

After thinking for a while, Xu Changfeng decided to deal with Ye Tian first before feeling relieved. He searched around but did not find anything special. He returned to the holy land and found chaos everywhere.

The holy lord rushed over and said, "Young master, it's all my fault. I was careless and let Ye Tian escape. Please rest assured that I will mobilize the entire holy land to arrest Ye Tian."

Xu Changfeng refused the holy lord's offer, saying that it would be like delivering Ye Tian's head on a platter. He asked the holy lord to issue an arrest warrant instead and promised to give further instructions later. The holy lord immediately complied.

When Xu Changfeng returned to his residence, Wang Yuyan was standing outside the door. She had been branded with a slave seal, so Xu Changfeng was not afraid of her betraying him.

"Young master is back. The maid has completed the task. Does the young master still need me to serve?" Wang Yuyan said coquettishly.

"Well, Yuyan, let me ask you something. Do you know anything about Ye Tian?" Xu Changfeng asked.

Wang Yuyan, who no longer had any feelings for Ye Tian, answered directly, "Hmm? When Ye Tian was very young, my father and I found him on the road and brought him back to the holy land. When he first reached the Golden Dan stage, I don't know why, but his cultivation regressed to the Qi Refinement stage for the past three years. After that, it was what the young master saw last time. Now his cultivation has recovered."

It seemed that Ye Tian had some problems. According to the personality of the protagonist, he either suffered a great loss or came from a very prominent family. Even if his parents concealed their wealth from him, how could they have been as powerful as the background of Xu Changfeng, the big villain? Xu Changfeng decided to wait and see. Ye Tian had 4,500 points of destiny left, so he still had many opportunities.

Xu Changfeng knew Ye Tian's location, so he summoned a divine puppet to help Ye Tian and steal his resources at all times. Then he asked Wang Yuyan's father to check Ye Tian's identity. They quickly found out that Ye Tian lived in the mortal world.

Meanwhile, Ye Tian had already escaped to a forest far from the holy land. "Haha! You didn't expect it, did you, Xu Changfeng? I escaped. Master, I told you, Wang Yuyan wouldn't betray me. She even helped me escape from prison," Ye Tian said.

Yang Lao appeared from the ring, absorbed the soul nourishing pill, and his cultivation had recovered a lot. "Okay, disciple, let's leave here quickly. I always feel that there is some danger..."

"Don't worry, Master. We're already far from Xuantian Holy Land, and besides, the Wulong Dynasty is just ahead of us after this forest," said Ye Tian happily, but suddenly more than ten people appeared around him, led by one who said, "We're bounty hunters. Xuantian Holy Land has put a bounty on your head. Your head is worth a middle-grade spiritual treasure."

"Haha, what a joke. Xuantian Holy Land only put up a middle-grade spiritual treasure for me? They really look down on me!" Ye Tian laughed.

"What's wrong with you? Are you scared? I'm a bounty hunter in the early stage of Yuanying, and my brothers are all in the later stage of Jindan. You're just a small Jindan in the early stage. I don't know why you're so happy," the leader said.

Just as Ye Tian was about to take action, Xu Changfeng's Nascent Soul puppet arrived and stopped Ye Tian from showing off, radiating a Nascent Soul aura that frightened everyone except Ye Tian, who was on guard, thinking that they were here to kill him.

"I don't know why this Nascent Soul expert is here. If it's for the bounty, we'll leave and give it to the senior," the leader said.

The bounty hunter was about to leave when the puppet suddenly attacked and absorbed these people. Yang Lao saw this and muttered 'demon cultivator' under his breath. Ye Tian also knew that this person was a member of the demonic path. Cultivating demons was despised by the world of cultivation, but in Ye Tian's eyes, whoever helped him was a good person, and whoever tried to steal from him was an enemy.

'Thank you for saving me, senior. I assume you already know that I have a grudge with Xuantian Holy Land. Are you planning to collect the bounty on my head?'

Xu Changfeng controlled the puppet and spoke in the voice of a middle-aged man, 'Kid, I saved you because I have a grudge with the Holy Lord of Xuantian Holy Land. I don't like them and want to cause them trouble.'

'Your cultivation level is the same as the Holy Lord's. Have you never thought about revenge?'

'Hahaha, are you kidding me, kid? Xuantian Holy Land is a righteous sect. I'm just a demonic cultivator. If I show my face, I'll be hunted down and killed. How could I ever kill the lofty Holy Lord?'

'Hahaha, senior, I won't hide it from you. I have the Starry Sky Divine Body, which is one of the top 10 special physiques. I haven't awakened it yet, but once I do, I can help you take revenge.'

Upon hearing this, Yang Lao became anxious. The Starry Sky Divine Body was a top-tier physique ranked in the top 10. He wondered why Ye Tian would reveal this information to a demonic cultivator, who might harm him.

However, Xu Changfeng, who was controlling the puppet, suddenly realized something. It seemed that Ye Tian's opportunity would come from the ruins of the Starry Sky Emperor. While Xu Changfeng was pondering, Ye Tian thought the demonic cultivator was trying to take his divine body and hastily said, 'Senior, it's useless for you to think about taking my divine body because only I know the location of the Starry Sky Emperor's ruins. Without me, you won't be able to obtain my Starry Sky Divine Body. If you promise to protect me until we reach the ruins, I'll help you kill the Holy Lord.'

Xu Changfeng acted as if he was hesitant and said, 'Kid, you're dreaming if you think I, a Nascent Soul expert, would be your bodyguard. However, since you have the Starry Sky Divine Body, I'll take a gamble. You can trust me. I won't let anyone harm you until we reach the ruins.'

Ye Tian was overjoyed and asked for the senior's name. Xu Changfeng thought of a name and said, 'Just call me Ai Kun!'

Only Yang Lao felt very strange that a demonic cultivator was not interested in the Starry Sky Divine Body and only wanted revenge. Although he couldn't understand it, he wouldn't say anything as long as Ye Tian wasn't threatened.
