Chapter 660 — Take His Cultivation Away!

‘S-Spirit Grandmaster! She’s a Spirit Grandmaster!’ The middle-aged man cried inwardly, shocked by Feng Yuxiang’s cultivation base.

“If you dare move, I will kill you.” Feng Yuxiang said to them with an overbearing aura around her.

However, Gu Tao’s father was also a Spirit Grandmaster, so he didn’t immediately back down.

“Who are you?” He asked her with a slight frown.

“Feng Yuxiang.”

“What?! Madam Feng from the Golden Phoenix Bazaar?!”

Although he has never personally gone to her store before, his Gu Family has purchased many treasures from her place before.

“Impossible! What are you doing in this place?!”

“My business is none of your business. However, your business on the other hand…” Feng Yuxiang narrowed her eyes.

“How dare you treat my Young Master in such a manner?! Courting death!”

Feng Yuxiang began approaching Gu Tao while emitting strong killing intent.

“F-Father! Help me! Kill this bitch for me!” Gu Tao immediately hid behind his father’s back.

Although he could sense Feng Yuxiang’s threatening aura, he doesn’t actually know Feng Yuxiang’s identity, nor was he aware of her cultivation base.

“Oh? It’s been a while since someone cursed at me.” A malicious grin appeared on Feng Yuxiang’s face.

“M-Madam Feng, please excuse this foolish son of mine!”

“Father? What are you doing?” Gu Tao looked at him with a confused face, as his father was a Spirit Grandmaster.

“Shut up! You have no idea who you’re standing before right now!” His father suddenly slapped him in the face, sending his body flying.

This shocked the guards from the Gu Family. This is their first time seeing Gu Tao being struck by his own father, something that doesn’t happen even during training.

“You think that’s enough to seek forgiveness? I won’t be satisfied until he stops breathing!”

“Madam Feng, please have mercy! We’ll forget about the wedding and leave immediately!”

The father knew that offending Feng Yuxiang was akin to death in the Lower Heavens, especially with her vast connections around the world. Unless they called for help from the Gu Family in the upper heavens, there was nothing they could do to stop her.

“…”

Feng Yuxiang didn’t say anything, and she turned to look at Yuan for his opinions on the matter. As much as she wanted to kill Gu Tao right there and then, she didn’t want to upset Yuan, who didn’t like violence.

“Young Master, it’s your call.” She said to him.

Yuan turned to look at Gu Tao, who was still struggling on the floor, for a good moment before closing his eyes and speaking in a low voice, “Feng Feng, doesn’t this situation remind you of another situation that played out very similarly?”

Feng Yuxiang pondered for a moment before speaking, “Are you talking about the Du Brothers from before?”

Yuan nodded and continued, “He doesn’t deserve to die, but he needs to be taught a lesson. Take his cultivation away.”

Yuan’s words stunned everyone there including his own people.

After snapping out of her daze, Feng Yuxiang responded with a beaming smile on her face, “With pleasure, Young Master!”

She turned to face Gu Tao and began approaching him.

“Madam Feng! Please! If you take away his cultivation, you might as well kill him!” Gu Tao’s father subconsciously blocked her path.

“Get out of my way, Patriarch Gu, unless you want to lose your cultivation too.” Feng Yuxiang narrowed her eyes that had turned golden at him, sending shivers down his back.

Patriarch Gu knew in his heart that it was impossible to stop Feng Yuxiang. However, he had another option.

He turned to look at Yuan and said, “Please! Stop her! Have mercy, Daoist Yuan—”

It was at this moment Patriarch Gu realized something.

‘Wait… Yuan? He’s that genius from the Dragon Essence Temple?!’

Patriarch Gu could recall ordering his family to recruit Yuan into their family at all cost, yet he’d managed to offend Yuan.

“Young Master Yuan! It was our fault for not recognizing you! We shouldn’t have tried to force Min Li to marry into our family! Please! If you cripple Gu Tao, he will be completely useless and might as well be dead!”

Yuan scoffed at his words and said, “Cripple? Now that’s an exaggeration. He may lose his ability to cultivate, but he’ll still be able to function as a normal human.”

“Please! Young Master Yuan! I beg of you!” Patriarch Gu suddenly lowered his body and kneeled on the ground in front of Yuan.

Seeing this, Yuan said, “Feng Feng, wait a second.”

“Eh?” Feng Yuxiang stopped two steps away from the terrified Gu Tao.

After a moment of silence, Yuan extended his hand and spoke, “I am willing to forgive you and your son, but you’ll have to do me a favor in return.”

“Really?! Whatever you need!” Patriarch Gu’s eyes flickered with hope.

“You see, I have purchased a house very recently, so I have no money now. If you donate me some of your wealth, I will forgive you. I’m a generous man, so I will only ask for all of your spatial rings and storage pouches.”

Patriarch Gu’s jaw dropped when he heard Yuan’s words. It was something he least expected!

As the patriarch of the Gu Family, Patriarch Gu naturally has plenty of wealth on him. In fact, he normally carries the family’s most valuable treasures on his body since he believes that it would be safer than keeping it at home and that nobody would be able to rob him, the patriarch of a Legacy Family!

Seeing Patriarch Gu’s hesitation, Yuan sighed, “I gave you a chance since you begged, and you even said whatever I want, but alas…”

And he continued, “Feng Feng, go ahead and continue whatever you were doing.”

“Yes!”

Feng Yuxiang took the last two steps and arrived in front of Gu Tao.

“W-W-Wait! Why don’t we talk about this?” Patriarch Gu felt like crying, yet he was unable to produce any tears.

“There is nothing to talk about. You lost that chance when you threatened to take Min Li away by force.”

Patriarch Gu gritted his teeth in anger, but he eventually gave up and said, “Fine! I will give them to you!”
