C235

Under the pitch-black night sky, a gust of night wind blew past, bringing with it a slight chill.1

Shen Nian stared at the five corpses on the ground and sighed.

Most of them ended up like this, but there were still people who continued to join the ranks for the sake of their own benefits.

He walked a few steps to Ye Kai's side and carried him on his back. With a wave of his hand, a purple flame instantly ignited and engulfed the five corpses.

The five corpses and the fresh blood on the ground were completely incinerated by the raging flames.

Soon, the flames dispersed, and the ground was now completely empty. Not even ashes remained, as if nothing had happened before.

Shen Nian let out a long sigh of relief and slowly walked into the darkness with Ye Kai on her back.

The blazing sunlight shone through the window. Ye Kai couldn't help but frown. After a long while, his eyes finally adapted to the sunlight.

He opened his eyes and looked out the window. It was already noon, and he wanted to sit up from his bed. However, the moment he moved, he felt a sharp pain coming from all over his body.

The sound of the door opening rang out as Shen Nian's voice sounded out, "Brat, you're finally awake. You've really worried me to death!"

She quickly arrived at his side and sized him up, her eyes filled with worry.

Ye Kai pursed his lips, indicating that he was fine.

Through the communication, he found out that he had been in a coma for three days since that night. During these three days, Su Yan, as well as the Navy Tide Nation's Chen Xiong and Chen Feng had come to see him.

Su Yan said that this time, he was obviously provoking the Royal Family. He would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, but that night's evidence was almost all destroyed by Shen Nian, so there was no progress.

He nodded his head to show that he understood. With Shen Nian's help, he sat up from the bed and stretched his body before taking out his Vermillion Bird Order. With a slight movement of his spiritual sense, a red light flashed and Yuan Hongfei was released from it.

A cultivator's physique was different from ordinary people. Therefore, Yuan Hongfei didn't have much of an impact on him even if he was confined for three days without eating or drinking.

When Yuan Hongfei finally saw the world outside, his face lit up. He couldn't help but look around and saw Shen Nian and Ye Kai with a single glance.

"Ah!

He cried out in alarm, and like a cat with its tail between its legs, he retreated to a corner of the room. His back pressed against the wall, and his body trembled as he looked at them with fear in his eyes.

"Ask him!" Ye Kai lifted his chin and said to Shen Li.

Shen Nian nodded her head. The moment she saw Yuan Hongfei, she had already guessed the reason behind the matter.

"Do you still remember the taste of this fire?!" He sneered and walked to the corner of the wall, a cluster of purple flames rising from his hand.

Yuan Hongfei, of course, hadn't forgotten that feeling. As he watched Shen Nian approach him bit by bit, his body trembled even more violently. He desperately shrank his body and cried out in panic, "Y-you … don't come over here!"

Shen Ji stopped three steps away from him, the purple flame still pulsing in his hand.

At this moment, Yuan Hongfei's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he stared unblinkingly at the purple flames, afraid that he would run over to its body in the next moment.

"I can't touch you, but you have to tell me the truth!"

As he spoke, the flame in his hand suddenly became larger.
