"Considering my girlfriend pleaded for you and that you've shown some remorse, I'll spare your life," Zhang Bin said, suddenly changing his mind with a sinister smile. "However, you won't escape punishment."

After speaking, he used a secret technique from the Qingmu Longevity Technique in conjunction with the Array Plate to seal Fei Yiming's Dantian and his spiritual power. This left Fei Yiming unable to mobilize his True Qi or use his Special Ability.

Then, he used chains to hang him high up on the large banyan tree in the village.

Fei Yiming's face filled with panic. "Zhang Bin, what—what are you doing?"

"Waiting for the experts from the Daoyi Sect to come and collect you. If they offer compensation that satisfies me and a handsome ransom, I'll let you go. Otherwise, you'll just become a dried corpse hanging from this tree," Zhang Bin said with a sneer.

Killing his opponent would bring him no benefit. Obtaining a sum of money or cultivation resources, however, was the most profitable and intelligent move.

Fei Yiming was utterly dumbfounded, his face a mask of disbelief. My God, is Zhang Bin a madman? Daring to confront the Daoyi Sect? And he expects them to pay compensation and a ransom? Does he think he's some kind of kidnapper? Is he tired of living?

It was no wonder he was so shocked; the Daoyi Sect was immensely powerful. It was a Sect formed by a coalition of experts from many other sects. In essence, it was a unified body of all of China's True Cultivation Sects, tantamount to a Cultivator Sects Alliance.

To put it bluntly, the Daoyi Sect was the most powerful organization in the world, and it served as China's nuclear weapon to deter other nations.

Yet, a mere farmer was challenging the authority of the Daoyi Sect?

How was that possible?

That was something only a lunatic would dare to do. Zhang Bin must have gone mad.

However, Fei Yiming felt a secret sense of relief. Zhang Bin may have lost his mind, but at least he didn't kill me. That would have been a truly tragic end. Once the Daoyi Sect learns of this, they'll surely send experts to handle it. Then Zhang Bin will be finished, and I'll be rescued!

"Brother-in-law, are you confident?" Liu Ruomei asked, her expression serious and filled with worry.

"Husband, isn't there a better way to resolve this? Must you resort to such extreme measures?" Liu Ruolan said gently.

"This isn't about me acting rashly," Zhang Bin replied. "The problem is that no matter what I do, they won't let me off the hook. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

For him, this was an unprecedented crisis, but also an excellent opportunity. If he could demonstrate the tremendous power of the Taiqing Sect, no one would dare to cause him trouble or bully him in the future.

Ultimately, this world respected strength above all else. A powerful fist made others wary and hesitant to bully you.

Zhang Bin then turned to the many villagers, who were looking on with strange expressions. "My fellow villagers, don't worry about me. Everything will be alright. You can all go back to what you were doing."

The villagers were greatly reassured, largely unaware of the true extent of the Daoyi Sect's might. All they knew was that the current Zhang Bin could contend with experts of the Golden Core Realm.

Didn't we just see it? Without even lifting a finger, he made that imposing Fei Yiming, who came flying in on his sword, kneel before him. Perhaps Zhang Bin is now the strongest Cultivator in the world. No one will dare to bully him again.

Once the villagers had dispersed, Zhang Bin paid no more mind to Fei Yiming. Acting as if nothing had happened, he went straight to the lab to work overtime, testing the medicinal properties of numerous plants.

He wanted to finish analyzing the flora of Great Green Mountain as quickly as possible, hoping to soon refine the Evergreen Pills and Overlord Body Pills. If he couldn't find all the necessary ingredients, he would have to travel the world to find new plants and test their properties. This was a critical task that would determine how quickly he and his many pets could grow stronger.

As soon as Zhang Bin left, Hong Ya arrived with a large flock of birds. They landed on the branches above Fei Yiming's head and began to relentlessly defecate. Bird droppings rained down, landing on his head, nose, face, and body.

The Hong Ya of today carried the air of the King of Myriad Birds, able to command countless avians. This was its way of venting its fury.

"Why are all these cursed birds coming to this tree to crap? And why are they aiming right at me?" Fei Yiming was so furious he almost coughed up blood. He shouted, "Scram! Get away from me!"

But the birds didn't fly away. Instead, they grew even more brazen. Some deliberately landed right on his head and defecated directly into his hair. One particular type of bird, of an unknown species, produced excrement with such a foul stench that it made Fei Yiming vomit repeatedly until he felt he was throwing up bile.

"HEE HEE HEE…"

"GIGGLE, GIGGLE, GIGGLE…"

Some children saw what was happening and began to snicker, laughing so hard they were nearly out of breath. They were good friends with Hong Ya, who often came to the village to play. Seeing it tormenting Fei Yiming delighted them. They even clapped excitedly, cheering Hong Ya on.

This made Hong Ya even more proud. It summoned more birds, and the rain of droppings continued to fall upon Fei Yiming.

Very quickly, he was turned into a human statue of bird droppings, completely covered from head to toe. He didn't dare speak again, keeping his eyes and mouth clamped shut. A moment ago, he had let out an angry curse, and a glob of droppings had fallen right into his open mouth.

「」

At that moment, a jeep was speeding toward Sanchahe Village. At the wheel was Tan Yonghao, the leader of the Special Action Team's Special Abilities Group, accompanied by two of his team members.

His expression was grim. He had received calls from Zhao Dawei and Luo Chengliang and was rushing over to prevent a disaster.

I hope Fei Yiming got here after me. Otherwise, there could be real trouble, Tan Yonghao muttered to himself, pushing the jeep to its top speed.

He knew that if Zhang Bin refused to accept the Daoyi Sect's punishment, a bloody battle was sure to break out. The chances of Zhang Bin being killed were extremely high. After all, Fei Yiming knew all about him, whereas he knew nothing of Fei Yiming's full capabilities.

He also knew that this whole situation was closely related to him having hypnotized Ma Rufei to get information about Zhang Bin. He never imagined his superiors would take such a course of action.

"Team leader, look! Someone's hanging from the banyan tree. It might be Zhang Bin," one of the team members, who had sharp eyes, shouted.

"Alive or dead?" Tan Yonghao asked nervously.

"Seems to be alive," the team member replied.

"As long as he's alive, that's what matters," Tan Yonghao said angrily. "It looks like Fei Yiming has already been here. But he's gone too far! Punishing Zhang Bin is one thing, but why hang him from a tree?"

"That's right. Zhang Bin didn't even do anything wrong. To punish him again and again… it's just too much," the other team member chimed in.

"Shut up!" Tan Yonghao barked. "This is not for you to discuss."

Soon, he drove up to the big banyan tree. The three of them jumped out of the car. They stared, wide-eyed, at the person hanging from the tree. Since the man was completely covered in bird droppings, they didn't recognize him and assumed it was Zhang Bin.

Filled with righteous indignation, Tan Yonghao shouted, "Zhang Bin! Zhang Bin, are you okay? That bastard Fei Yiming went too far…"
