Wu Feng, upon hearing Guo Pincheng's words, truly felt an urge to kill Guo Pincheng on the spot, but he lacked the power to do so.

"You actually joined forces with Ye Xiao to oppose your friends, your brothers!" Wu Feng seemed to want to apply moral pressure on Guo Pincheng!

However, after hearing Wu Feng's words, not only did Guo Pincheng feel no psychological pressure, but he also burst out into a sorrowful, mocking laugh.

"Wu Feng, you bastard, do you even qualify to talk to me about brothers and friends? Did you ever treat Guo Chuan as a brother for even a day? Don't think I'm oblivious to the insults and bullying you've heaped on Guo Chuan. I'll tell you, I knew everything all along, I just never spoke openly about it. Are you trying to say your father Wu Quanen, along with Cao Zhongfa and even Li Dexi, are my brothers too?" Guo Pincheng said, furious to the point of laughter, and continued, "Indeed, I've always regarded them as my brothers, but how did they treat me? As a servant, a lowly one at that. And now you speak to me of brotherly loyalty? Haha, Wu Feng, let me tell you, it's too late."

Wu Feng wasn't a fool; he could discern the hysterical anger and grievance in Guo Pincheng's words. He could also deduce that the Guos, father and son, must have harbored thoughts of betrayal for a long time but simply lacked the opportunity. Now, the emergence of Ye Xiao had given the Guos assurance in their betrayal!

"Hmph, my father will not let you off!" Wu Feng was still very confident in his father, Wu Quanen.

At this moment, Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Your father sent me to the Guard Bureau, and yet here I am, standing before you. Perhaps you should reconsider whether you're being overly confident in your father and the Heng Zhiyuan Group. Hehe, well then, Mr. Guo, I'll leave Wu Feng to you. Blood Blade will provide full support throughout."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Guo Pincheng came to a realization and gained a new appreciation for Ye Xiao's strength. Although he hadn't heard of Blood Blade before, after what transpired today, Guo Pincheng had immense confidence in 'Blood Blade' and even greater admiration for Ye Xiao.

"Mr. Ye, oh no, Brother Xiao, from now on, I, Guo Pincheng along with my unworthy son, am willing to perform the most menial tasks for Brother Xiao." At this point, Guo Pincheng was thoroughly convinced by Ye Xiao.

To speak honestly, until now, Guo Pincheng had still harbored a tiny bit of doubt about how reliable Ye Xiao really was. But now, all of Guo Pincheng's last reservations had vanished, which was why he had changed from addressing him as 'Mr. Ye' to 'Brother Xiao.'

Ye Xiao showed no emotional reaction to Guo Pincheng's change in address; it seemed as if Ye Xiao thought all of this was reasonable.

"Alright then, I'll leave you to it. I presume you will be able to handle things!" Ye Xiao said cheerfully and made his way outside.

At this moment, everyone turned their gaze towards Ye Xiao. There was an undeniable sense of awe for Ye Xiao among all present. Even Wu Feng, who had previously thought little of Ye Xiao, now held a mix of respect and fear for him. He was truly afraid now, and he hadn't realized that Ye Xiao controlled not just the Heavenly Gate but also a mysterious organization like Blood Blade. It was even more astonishing that Ye Xiao had compelled Guo Pincheng to willingly call him 'Brother Xiao.'

Ye Xiao didn't even spare Wu Feng a glance because, in Ye Xiao's eyes, Wu Feng no longer posed any threat at all.

Walking up to Huo Feng, he smiled and said, "Huo Feng, come out and chat for a moment."

Huo Feng immediately followed Ye Xiao out of Warehouse Number One.

Soon, Ye Xiao and Huo Feng exited Warehouse Number One, which was located in the suburbs, within an abandoned factory—a location Zhou Hao and his companions had found. But Ye Xiao was quite satisfied with it!

The night in the outskirts was even darker—although not to the point where one couldn't see their own hand in front of them, it was certainly unclear. Of course, that was for ordinary people; to Ye Xiao and Huo Feng, the dark had no effect whatsoever.

"How has your cultivation been progressing lately?" Ye Xiao looked up at the night sky and asked smilingly.

"Training has been long, but progress is slow," Huo Feng responded.

Ye Xiao said, "I have something here that could help you to train much faster, at least ten times more rapidly."

"Oh?" Huo Feng turned to Ye Xiao with surprise, asking incredulously, "Ten times? What sort of thing is that?"

"A special medicine exclusively for martial artists," Ye Xiao said as he flipped his hand, a small bottle appearing in it. It wasn't the small crystal bottle he had handled before, but a different one, containing only two or three drops of the Source Life Liquid.

"Mix this liquid into a bathtub, and the water will turn green. Then, bathing in it naked for about two hours until all the green is absorbed, the water will return to normal. After that, you can proceed with your training. Remember, I'm giving you three drops, and you're to use only one drop at a time, once every ten days. Using too much, even two drops, would be fatal," Ye Xiao warned.

Huo Feng listened to Ye Xiao's words, her surprise evident, and she also wondered just what kind of substance could boost her cultivation by such a margin. Just this tiny amount accounted for three drops, yet only one was needed each time. Could a single drop indeed be sufficient?

Huo Feng took the Source Life Liquid from Ye Xiao's hand, eyeing it intently, but when she looked up again, she found that Ye Xiao had already left.

For others, it was an ordinary night, but for Wu Quanen, it was anything but—a night of agony.

When Wu Quanen received Li Bei's call and learned that his son had been kidnapped, he was terrified and immediately began to send people to search for Wu Feng. Despite a night of searching, there was still no news of his son.

"Quanen, Fenger will be fine," Li Dexi said, trying to comfort Wu Quanen as he paced back and forth in his office with his hands behind his back.

"Damn it, it's not your son," Wu Quanen snapped angrily. "It's been a night, and still, there's neither hide nor hair of him."

Although Wu Quanen's words were sharp, Li Dexi wasn't angered. Instead, he suggested, "Our people are already searching. How about we ask the police for help?"

"No, the police are unreliable," Wu Quanen stated. "Moreover, news of Fenger's disappearance absolutely cannot be made known to too many. It would greatly damage our Heng Zhiyuan Group's reputation."

Upon hearing Wu Quanen's words, Li Dexi was at a loss for words—how could he still worry about reputation at a time like this?

But just then, there was a knock on the office door.
