Chapter 2256 - 2257: Ridiculous Ants

Yang Fei stared blankly at Xu Zhiqing, utterly baffled.

The Divine Thought, much like a person, can live and die.

These nine Divine Thoughts, although a hundred times bigger than an ordinary person's, are still just Divine Thoughts.

Yang Fei probed the Divine Thought within Xu Zhiqing's body and suddenly slapped his thigh.

"I understand now, it's Zhou Gongzhi causing trouble again."

"These nine Divine Thoughts aren't the Divine Thoughts themselves, just incarnations. The true Nine Great Divine Thoughts are in his hands."

With this realization, Yang Fei was enlightened, and everything became clear.

No wonder this guy is so fearless.

He must have some magical treasure or cultivation technique controlling the Nine Divine Thoughts.

He intends to use the incarnations of the Divine Thought within Xu Zhiqing to absorb her pure Mysterious Yin Energy and strengthen the Divine Thoughts.

If the Divine Thought becomes successful, Zhou Gongzhi would be the biggest beneficiary.

Otherwise, Zhou Gongzhi strengthening these nine Divine Thoughts has no benefit for him at all.

Xu Zhiqing, seeing Yang Fei's grave expression, felt a bit scared.

"Yang Fei, what's happening to me?"

Yang Fei felt a pang in his heart, caressing Xu Zhiqing's silky hair, yet his eyes were ablaze with anger.

"It's nothing. In a couple of days, I'll accompany you to Hong Island and settle this account with Zhou Gongzhi."

Xu Zhiqing was startled: "You're going to the Zhou family?"

"The Zhou family on Hong Island is a true century-old family, with significant power and prestige. Don't act recklessly."

Yang Fei gave a slight sneer, turned around, and started packing.

"This Zhou family is extremely suspicious; we'll start by investigating Zhou Gongzhi."

"Hmph, since the resurgence of spiritual energy, all sorts of monsters and demons have emerged."

Two days later, Yang Fei, accompanied by Xu Zhiqing, left Jinguan City and headed for Hong Island.

Xu Zhiqing, being Yalan Entertainment's popular Queen of Heaven, originally didn't have much time to accompany Yang Fei.

However, Yang Fei called Chen Ke and explained the strange phenomena occurring with Xu Zhiqing, which made Chen Ke reluctantly grant Xu Zhiqing a leave.

Yang Fei found it amusing.

Chen Ke must think Yang Fei scored Xu Zhiqing, and they're heading to Hong Island for a honeymoon.

Yet, Yang Fei did not bother explaining more.

With such matters, the more you explain, the worse it gets, so he opted to remain silent.

Jinguan City has direct flights to Hong Island, and Yang Fei notified the Tang Sect.

Tang Qianshan personally saw Yang Fei off, arranging first-class plane tickets.

He also sent Yang Fei a large batch of Dragon Blood Grass, processed beforehand.

On the plane, Xu Zhiqing felt rather fatigued and drowsy.

Yang Fei understood that the nine Divine Thoughts were draining her Mysterious Yin Energy and felt deeply concerned, yet helpless.

Half an hour later, the plane took off, heading towards Hong Island, soaring like an eagle in the sunlight.

Hong Island, Nine Dragons Mountain Zhou Family Manor.

A notice was posted before the manor's gate, simple in content with just a few phrases.

"My son Zhou Gongzhi has encountered demonic possession, suspected to be haunted by evil spirits. A billion-dollar reward is offered to invite all Immortal Masters to visit and exorcise the evil for my son Zhou Gongzhi."

This notice spread widely online, even making it to Tencent headlines.

The Zhou family has been entrenched in Hong Island for centuries, wielding significant influence.

The family businesses include shipping, cultural entertainment, and large supermarkets, among which three listed companies are valued at over a billion each.

In such a big family, talent abounds.

Businesspersons are elites in Hong Island's high-level commercial circles.

Those in politics hold high official positions within the Hong Island Government Office, with entangled forces.

Zhou Gongzhi is a leading figure of the Zhou family's third generation in the main lineage.

It is said that the Old Master of the Zhou Family has already stated his intention to pass the next Family Head position to him.

Yet, Zhou Gongzhi fell seriously ill at this time.

Moreover, the cause of his illness is very bizarre, as it turns out to be something like demonic possession, which is truly eye-opening.

The billion-dollar reward attracted many people like moths to a flame.

For ordinary people, a billion dollars is something they might never accumulate in ten lifetimes.

Even for many cultivators with mana, this billion dollars is a massive sum.

In the path of cultivation, wealth, spells, land, and partner are crucial, with wealth coming first.

From a certain perspective, cultivation is the most money-burning pursuit.

Even possessing cultivation techniques requires vast amounts of money to buy heavenly and earthly treasures to aid in Qi Cultivation.

A hundred-year-old Changbai Mountain ginseng can be bought for tens of thousands.

And these rare herbs are consumed daily by cultivators.

One can imagine how crucial money is to a cultivator.

Thus, many who came to treat Zhou Gongzhi, despite being so-called famous doctors and Western doctors, also included many genuine cultivators with mana.

Upon landing, Yang Fei and Xu Zhiqing heard the news that Zhou Gongzhi had fallen into a coma after being invaded by evil possession.

Xu Zhiqing was puzzled, but Yang Fei couldn't help sneering.

This eldest young master of the Zhou family is himself a century-old ghost cultivator.

If he really encountered a ghost, that would truly be seeing a ghost.

The two walked out of the arrival hall, and a burst of enthusiastic cheering suddenly came from ahead.

"Miss Tang Qiqi, I love you!"

"Miss Qiqi, welcome to Hong Island."

"So bold, worthy of being my goddess."

…

Yang Fei frowned slightly, looking ahead.

He saw an airport corridor newly opened, laid with a red carpet.

An enchanting and stunning beauty was gracefully walking down the stairs, stepping on the red carpet.

On either side of the stairs, a large group of security personnel was maintaining order, and the police were even involved, patrolling around the perimeter.

The stunning beauty wore a backless, fiery red short dress, her legs as fresh and tender as bamboo shoots from the mountains.

Her long hair, dyed and permed, cascaded like a waterfall on her shoulders, streaked with purple-red highlights.

From Yang Fei's angle, he could see her voluptuous contours completely unobstructed, on the verge of bursting forth.

Her extremely short top couldn't conceal her body curves at all.

Xu Zhiqing, seeing that Yang Fei had noticed that side, smiled slightly and pressed her sunglasses down a bit.

Upon seeing this woman, even with Xu Zhiqing's good manners, she couldn't help but show some disdain.

"This woman is called Tang Qiqi, you should know her. Ten years ago, she was just a small model, not even considered a third-tier celebrity."

Yang Fei paused, suddenly recalling.

This Tang Qiqi was indeed an old acquaintance of Yang Fei's.

Ten years ago, Tang Qiqi was just a third or fourth-tier star, while Xu Zhiqing was already a radiant international Queen of Heaven.

She tried to latch onto Xu Zhiqing, but Yang Fei casually thwarted her.

Yang Fei looked at the charming and dazzling Tang Qiqi, feeling a bit surprised.

"This woman does have some skill. From her appearance, it seems she's doing well in the entertainment industry."

Xu Zhiqing snorted, blushing slightly with some disdain.

"The entertainment industry is a big dye pot. As long as one hardens their heart and sacrifices their body, reaching her level isn't that hard."

After speaking, Xu Zhiqing added a comment.

"That woman later connected with a film company, starring in several high-scale movies."

"She also deliberately orchestrated a sensational scandal, flooding the skies with amorous rumors, and thus skyrocketed to fame."

Yang Fei somewhat understood.

At this moment, his view of women like Tang Qiqi had drastically changed.

In Yang Fei's eyes, this woman was nothing more than an ant, and a laughable one at that.
