The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2328 - 2317: The Strange Scroll

Following Ye Chenfeng's soul search, both Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian, severely wounded, found their eyes growing vacant. Their Seas of Consciousness were marred by irreparable cracks, rendering them incapable of independent thought.

Ye Chenfeng’s Spiritual Energy was nearly depleted, yet he maintained a powerful aura. He fixed his gaze upon the dazed Heavenly God Realm cultivators and commanded, "Disappear from my sight within three breaths if you wish to live."

Ye Chenfeng's forceful command jolted the nearly senseless Heavenly God Realm cultivators back to awareness. They grasped that Floating Cloud City had undergone a monumental shift and surged forward with utmost speed. In a single breath, all Heavenly God Realm cultivators vanished.

Once the area cleared, the imposing aura around Ye Chenfeng vanished instantly. His legs buckled, and as he swayed, his hands braced him, his breaths ragged.

Nearby, Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong, still lying on the ground, were utterly stunned. The turn of events left them speechless, their minds struggling to process the reality.

Recollecting their initial encounter with Ye Chenfeng at the junkyard, Cao Yunwei, driven by curiosity about the outside world, had offered to heal him.

At the time, Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong had paid little heed to Ye Chenfeng's promise of repayment. Now, they finally understood why he had made the pledge; he possessed the undeniable power to fulfill it.

After regaining his breath, Ye Chenfeng assumed a cross-legged position, regulating his breathing. He had gained a wealth of crucial information from the minds of Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian.

For years, Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian had relentlessly sought a way to escape the mysterious space.

Their persistent efforts had yielded significant clues. To the north of Floating Cloud City, among a cluster of large floating rocks forming a gentle mountain range, lay a hidden cave.

Within this cave yawned a colossal black hole. Based on the recollections of Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian, they had ventured into this void multiple times.

The interior of the black hole was a distinct realm, governed by peculiar Space Laws. This phenomenon allowed Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian to frequently perceive the external world's atmosphere, leading them to believe the black hole was the key to escaping their confinement, though its true nature remained elusive.

Several hours passed as Ye Chenfeng meditated.

His body's Spiritual Energy had significantly recuperated. During his recuperation, no one dared to approach him.

By this juncture, the news of Ye Chenfeng's triumph over the three City Lords must have resonated throughout Floating Cloud City.

With his Spiritual Energy restored, Ye Chenfeng approached Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong. Despite their weakened state, their lives were secure.

Applying his Spiritual Energy, Ye Chenfeng healed the siblings, enabling them to stand and walk once more.

Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong gazed at Ye Chenfeng, their eyes wide with awe. Cao Xiaodong's admiration reached its zenith, while Cao Yunwei's cheeks tinged with a faint blush. The siblings were still reeling from the shock.

Ye Chenfeng decided to rest for a day before venturing to the northern low mountain, as his Spiritual Energy had not yet returned to its absolute peak. He planned to recuperate within Floating Cloud City for the interim.

Having extracted information through the soul search of Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian, he was aware of the City Lord’s Mansion's location within Floating Cloud City. He then guided Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong in that direction.

En route, they encountered numerous cultivators. Upon seeing Ye Chenfeng, these individuals promptly lowered their heads in deference. Ye Chenfeng had undeniably become the preeminent power in Floating Cloud City.

Arriving at the City Lord’s Mansion, they found individuals awaiting their arrival at the gates, a clear indication that Ye Chenfeng's actions had become common knowledge throughout Floating Cloud City.

As the adage states, "New brooms sweep clean."

The occupants of the City Lord’s Mansion naturally viewed Ye Chenfeng as their new City Lord.

Ye Chenfeng remained silent on the matter. While he disdained such opportunism, his impending departure from this mysterious space meant initiating a purge in Floating Cloud City was unnecessary.

Upon entering the grand hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, Ye Chenfeng signaled for his welcomers to depart.

Cao Xiaodong was exhilarated, experiencing such prominence for the very first time. Even during his parents' lifetime, when they resided in Floating Cloud City, they were relegated to the status of mere lower-class residents.

Now, both Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong had awakened the Spiritual Fire Divine Body.

According to the accounts of the venerable Bai Wu Fengxian and Elder Hei Jiang Yuntian, the Spiritual Fire Divine Body possessed the ability to purge all impurities from within the body.

The Perennial Grass, utilized by Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong from the enigmatic space, had hindered their ability to condense Spiritual Energy. The underlying cause was likely the lingering impurities within the grass itself.

Once Ye Chenfeng channeled his Spiritual Energy into their forms, in conjunction with their innate spiritual Fire Divine Body, the residual impurities from the Perennial Grass would be completely purged within approximately seven hours.

Ye Chenfeng instructed Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong to await him in the main hall for a short period. Drawing upon the recollections gleaned from Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian's memories, he was aware of the City Lord’s Mansion possessing a hidden treasure vault, a place he was keen to explore.

Following the path laid out in his recalled knowledge.

Ye Chenfeng successfully gained entry into the City Lord’s Mansion’s treasure vault. Upon his arrival, a profound sense of disappointment washed over him, stemming from the meager collection of resources within the mysterious space. To his eyes, this so-called treasure vault was little more than a repository of worthless items. Just as he was contemplating his departure, his attention was captured by a metallic silver box situated in the lower right quadrant.

The moment his gaze settled upon that particular box, the Frosty Sword Intent, Thunder Sword Intent, Fire Sword Intent, and Unyielding Sword Intent residing within him began to stir with an unusual restlessness.

Prompted by an insatiable curiosity.

Ye Chenfeng moved closer to the silver metallic box. The sheer weight of the container was substantial, necessitating significant effort even to lift its lid.

After successfully heaving open the heavy silver lid.

Within the confines of the box lay a scroll of a deep purple hue. Ye Chenfeng extended his hand with the intention of retrieving the purple scroll.

However, before his fingers could make contact with the scroll.

A potent surge of Sword Qi erupted forcefully from the scroll. Ye Chenfeng swiftly retracted his hand, but it proved to be too late. A deep gash manifested on his right palm, from which blood began to flow unabated.

Ye Chenfeng's brows knitted together in a tight frown, his gaze intensifying with a newfound solemnity. It was unequivocally clear that the purple scroll concealed within the silver metallic box possessed an extraordinary and peculiar nature!
