The Divine Constable nodded and said, “That’s right.” Then he looked around at the people in the hall and added, “Most of the people here, and those outside, are here for the Sword Demon. This inn is owned by the Four Seas Gang. I heard that the gang leader of the Four Seas Gang has ordered the back courtyard rooms to be cleared, only to receive the Sword Demon alone. Now, anyone who wants to challenge the Sword Demon must go through the Four Seas Gang to convey the message. Only then will the Sword Demon not kill them. No one who has secretly snuck into the back courtyard without being announced has survived.”

Upon hearing this, Ghost Sun’s face once again showed a sinister expression, and he asked, “Is the Sword Demon really that powerful?”

The more powerful the enemy, the more fulfilling the assassination would be, so instead of fear, he felt a bit of excitement.

The Divine Constable’s expression was solemn as he said, “According to my investigation, so far, more than two hundred people have attacked him, whether it was a direct challenge or a sneak attack. Without exception, all have failed. This Sword Demon is even more powerful than imagined.”

Ghost Sun asked again, “There are at least two or three hundred people here. Has no one thought of attacking him together?”

Maneater Bear sneered, “Do you think they’re fools? Throwing their lives away, if they die, wouldn’t they be making wedding clothes for others?”

Ghost Sun sneered, “To want the Bodhidharma’s remains, to want wealth comparable to a nation, how can one not pay a price? The rules of the pugilistic world are each according to their means, each showing their divine abilities. Whoever can laugh last, naturally, it belongs to them.”

Maneater Bear giggled, “That sounds good. If you have the guts, go kill the Sword Demon and let me see if you, Ghost Sun and Ghost Granny, are as powerful as the rumors say. What’s the point of boasting here?”

Ghost Sun’s face darkened and he said, “If I kill the Sword Demon, what do you say?”

Maneater Bear laughed, “I heard that you’ve suffered from a strange illness since childhood and couldn’t grow up, so no woman has ever fancied you. How about this, if you can kill the Sword Demon, I’ll give myself to you and be your wife, you little squirt who’s already old. How about it?”

“Is that true?”

Ghost Sun’s eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up, staring intently at Maneater Bear.

Maneater Bear said, “When have I, Maneater Bear, ever gone back on my word? I heard that the Sword Demon is not only highly skilled in martial arts but also handsome and dashing. If you can kill him and let me eat his flesh, what’s the harm in giving myself to you?”

Ghost Sun grinned and said, “Good, this old man will go kill that Sword Demon now. You just wait to marry this old man.”

In the back courtyard of the inn, in the first-class room labeled “Heaven.”

Ye Qingfeng was sitting cross-legged, with his five hearts facing the sky, breathing in and out, circulating his inner energy.

Through introspection, he already knew that to open the five major acupoints of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, a large amount of inner energy would be consumed, so he diligently practiced every day to store up his foundation. Originally, a crucial step in cultivating internal martial arts was to enter a state of tranquility. If one could not concentrate their mind, the efficiency of using inner energy during cultivation would be several times slower, which would be tantamount to doing more with less. At the same time, it was most taboo to be disturbed during the practice. If one was disturbed during the process, at best, they would suffer from qi deviation and have their martial arts completely crippled; at worst, their meridians would be severed, and they would die.

Currently, given Ye Qingfeng’s situation, this place was indeed not a good place for cultivation.

But he still dared to cultivate so boldly. Why was that?

Because his Dao Heart was already perfect and without flaws, powerful and not susceptible to external demons.

Just as Ye Qingfeng was circulating his inner energy, his spiritual sense suddenly stirred, and his inner energy also returned to normal.

“Someone else has broken in.”

In an instant, he detected the situation.

Immediately, he embraced the primordial unity, gathered his inner energy, slowly got up, opened the door, and walked out.

He looked up and saw a child of about ten years old, clinging to the wall in a corner of the back courtyard, half his body straddling the wall, seemingly wanting to jump down but also wanting to climb back, quite stuck.

This child was none other than Ghost Sun.

Seeing Ye Qingfeng come out, Ghost Sun’s eyes immediately lit up, and he eagerly called out, “Big brother, help me, I can’t get down.” As he spoke, he looked as if he was about to cry, whimpering, “I saw so many people surrounding this place outside, so I wanted to climb in and see what was inside, but it’s too high here, I’m scared…”

Ye Qingfeng’s face was expressionless as he slowly walked over.

Ghost Sun’s heart was overjoyed when he saw him coming, and he thought to himself, “He actually fell for it so easily. It seems this so-called Sword Demon is nothing special. The Bodhidharma’s remains belong to this old man now.”

After thinking to himself, he suddenly twisted his body and fell from the wall, acting very realistically.

If it were an ordinary person, upon seeing a child in such danger, they would instinctively reach out to catch him. However, Ye Qingfeng did nothing, still walking slowly, with a half-smile on his face.

Ghost Sun fell from the wall and landed heavily in the courtyard, dizzy from the fall.

He had thought that Ye Qingfeng would leap to his rescue, allowing him to seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and thus achieve his goal. He never expected that the script would be completely different from what he imagined; Ye Qingfeng completely ignored him.

Failing in one move, Ghost Sun was not discouraged and immediately launched his next move: wailing loudly.

“Ah, it hurts so much! My leg is broken!”

Seeing this, Ye Qingfeng, standing two zhang away, couldn’t help but shake his head and smile, “Little friend, you’re overacting.”

Upon hearing this, Ghost Sun immediately stopped crying and adopted a bewildered expression, as if he hadn’t understood the words. It was in this moment of astonishment that he realized he had revealed a flaw. While rubbing his eyes with feigned tears, his hand suddenly lifted towards Ye Qingfeng. The next moment, with a “whoosh,” a blue cold light shot out, aiming directly for Ye Qingfeng’s eyes.

With Ye Qingfeng’s martial arts attainment, how could such a small hidden weapon ambush him?

He merely tilted his head slightly, dodging the sleeve arrow that was coated with venom.

With one strike missed, Ghost Sun immediately stopped crying. A sinister and venomous look, like that of a poisonous snake, appeared in his eyes 563, mixed with the tear stains on his face, which was quite chilling.

“How did you see through me?”

At this moment, his voice was no longer the innocent voice of a child, but a sinister and low adult tone.

Ghost Sun’s eternally stunted physique was both his unspeakable pain and his greatest advantage in concealing himself. Because no one would raise their guard when they saw a half-grown child.

Who would have thought that when you let your guard down, this seemingly harmless child would become a deadly viper?

Of course, Ye Qingfeng couldn’t say that he knew the plot. He just smiled slightly and said, “Although your disguise is subtle, it can only deceive others. In front of me, it’s full of flaws.”

Ghost Sun naturally refused to accept this and asked, “What flaws do I have?”

Ye Qingfeng smiled and said, “You have at least three flaws. First, you pretended to be a curious child climbing over the wall and then fell, trying to use that as an excuse to numb me. This seems reasonable, but the timing and location are wrong. In such an environment, an person who shouldn’t be here appeared, so everything reasonable became unreasonable. Second, your eyes betrayed you. Although the killing intent in your eyes was hidden very well, at my level, as long as you have a tiny bit of hostility, I will sense it. Third, your acting is too exaggerated. Look at your appearance, besides your exterior, there’s really nothing that makes you look like a child.”
