Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

"This matter is quite simple indeed. You go immediately to Chu Feng's Medicine Field and tell him that I want him to move a batch of Medicinal Herbs from Medicine Mountain No. 108. Remember, you and Chu Feng are to go together."

"He's a thorn in the side. If he refuses to go, you must find a way to make him agree to go together."

Ding Ku's leader said with a sinister smile.

"Ah, so I just need to ask Chu Feng to move Medicinal Herbs, that's easy. Boss Ding, rest assured, I guarantee to complete the task and return with all the Medicinal Herbs accounted for."

After hearing Ding Ku's orders, Zhang Dabing burst into hearty laughter.

This task was just too easy.

Without a second word, merrily he went to find Chu Feng and together they proceeded to move the Medicinal Herbs.

Ding Ku secretly followed behind, his face revealing a sly and cold smirk.

The moment Chu Feng left, Ding Ku's leader would immediately send him plunging into the abyss.

...

Zhang Dabing strode energetically to the edge of Chu Feng's Medicine Field, and hollered from afar, "Junior Brother Chu Feng, are you cultivating? Boss Ding has instructed us to go to Medicine Mountain No. 108 and transport some Medicinal Herbs back."

Zhang Dabing looked up enviously at Chu Feng, who sat serenely under a tree cultivating.

He had long heard that this newcomer, Junior Brother Chu Feng, was quite talented. He didn't have to work daily, and the Medicinal Herbs he cultivated grew as if by magic.

Chu Feng slowly ended his cultivation practice and looked up at Zhang Dabing.

"We're to move Medicinal Herbs from Medicine Mountain No. 108?"

He frowned slightly. His relationship with Boss Ding was not good. Being asked to carry Medicinal Herbs now, was certainly unusual.

Medicine Mountain No. 108 was only recently cleared, wasn't it? And even the cleared area wasn't large.

What Medicinal Herbs does Boss Ding want me to move?

There's a demon in every abnormality.

If it were Deacon Tang Ying assigning Chu Feng to move Medicinal Herbs, he might believe it a bit. But Boss Ding? Just a small leader; where did he get such authority to move Medicinal Herbs from another Medicine Mountain?

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.

Chu Feng, having been a person for two lifetimes and lived for thousands of years, had unparalleled wisdom and experience. He was almost one hundred percent certain now, that Ding Ku's leader definitely had ulterior motives.

He just didn't know exactly what were their intentions.

"Mokeboer, you stay here. If there's any emergency, come and inform me immediately."

Chu Feng had two pets; one was the Sword Shadow Worm, and the other was Mokeboer.

Now, after devouring the Essence blood and Divine Souls of many Sword God Level powerhouses, Mokeboer had finally completed its evolution. It had advanced from the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King to the Ten-Eyed Evil Spirit King.

Its mesmerizing abilities had become more than ten times stronger than when it had just one eye.

Furthermore, all its abilities had increased significantly.

Ding Ku's cultivation level was not weak, being at the Early Stage Sword Saint Level. Mokeboer could even deal with a Sword God Level 1 powerhouse, let alone a mere common Early Stage Sword Saint, which would be like child's play to it.

Chu Feng silently released his Divine Sense to investigate the surroundings.

Soon, he discovered Ding Ku's leader hidden not far away. That sly old fox was watching this place with ill intent.

"I should see what you're up to?"

Chu Feng remained sitting still. He was deliberately misleading Ding Ku's leader.

His inaction made Zhang Dabing anxious. He begged and pleaded, tried to look pitiful, and said all kinds of nice things. Finally, he managed to get Chu Feng, this divine being, to agree to move.

"Alright, for your sake, Big Pancake, I'll go. Otherwise, even if Ding Ku's leader himself personally begged me, I wouldn't go."

Chu Feng stood up and followed Zhang Dabing away.

At this moment, the sky was growing dark, and night was about to fall.

"Junior Brother Chu Feng, let's hurry! We'll try to transport the Medicinal Herbs back before it gets dark." Zhang Dabing's mind was quite simple, he only thought of his own interests and never considered the true intentions of Ding Ku's leader.

How could there be such a thing as a pie falling from the sky in this world?

Ding Ku's leader, hiding in the shadows, didn't notice at all that a faint shadow had shot out from Chu Feng's body and then floated into the Medicine Field.

...

"Hehe, Chu boy, no matter how formidable you are, you still obediently left. You've fallen for the head leader's ploy of luring the tiger away from the mountain."

Ding Ku's leader sneered triumphantly. He did not act rashly.

After all, the task he was about to do was disgraceful, something that couldn't withstand the light of day.

Ding Ku's leader personally witnessed Chu Feng and Zhang Dabing leave Medicine Mountain No. 106. Only then did he turn around, stealthily making his way towards Chu Feng's Medicine Field.

Throughout his journey, Ding Ku's leader did not alarm anyone.

Just like a thief, he crept and hid.

In fact, he really was about to commit thievery.

However, it wasn't about stealing things but purposely causing destruction.

The sky, a dark cloud drifted over.

The entirety of Medicine Mountain No. 106 was plunged into darkness.

"It's as if the heavens are aiding me!" Ding Ku's leader's heart was bursting with joy as he hastened his pace into Chu Feng's Medicine Field.

Eventually, he successfully infiltrated Chu Feng's field without alerting anyone.

"Chu Feng, just wait to cry your eyes out!"

Ding Ku's leader's scheme was not ingenious; it merely involved the brutish destruction of the Medicinal Herbs Chu Feng had painstakingly cultivated, specifically targeting the ones that were growing the best for sabotage.

In just the time it takes to eat a meal, Ding Ku's leader had ruined the two acres of Chu Feng's Medicine Field beyond recognition.

He too was drenched in a heavy sweat from the labor.

"Damn, I, a powerhouse of Sword Saint Level, have to do such menial labor. If it's not for the sake of pleasing Deacon Tang Ying, this leader would definitely not stoop so low to do such things."

"When that Chu boy comes back, he's likely to be crying for his daddy and mommy, bawling his eyes out."

"I must leave immediately, can't let anyone see me. Also, I must go inform Deacon Tang Ying so he can enjoy the spectacle. By then, Deacon Tang Ying will surely be overjoyed and praise me, and perhaps even promote me to Big Chief."

Among the entirety of Medicine Mountain No. 106, there were only three Big Chiefs and nine small leaders.

Aiming for a promotion to Big Chief, Ding Ku had been looking forward to it for many years.

Now, at last, he could achieve his long-standing goal. His mood was at an all-time high.

"Eh, damn it, how come this field seems like an endless loop, like I've hit a ghost wall? How come I can't find my way out no matter how I turn?" Ding Ku's leader quickly realized something was off. He was like a headless fly, constantly barging around in confusion.

After nearly 15 minutes of struggle, Ding Ku's leader was still trapped inside.

At this moment, it was already very dark.

Chu Feng and Zhang Dabing had just finished moving the medicinal materials back.

In fact, as soon as Ding Ku started sabotaging Chu Feng's Medicinal Herbs, Chu Feng had already been notified by the Evil Spirit King.

What Chu Feng thought of at that time was to counter by using his enemy's strategy against them.

"Dabing, it's already dark. Passing by my Medicine Field won't delay us much. Why don't we eat something before moving the materials to Boss Ding to report in?" Chu Feng suggested.

"Alright!" Zhang Dabing hesitated slightly but then agreed.

As they both lifted the torches, passing by Chu Feng's Medicine Field, they suddenly heard a series of noises coming from within the field.

"There's a thief!"

Zhang Dabing's cultivation was at the Peak Great Sword Master and upon hearing the noise, he immediately pulled Chu Feng aside, whispering to alert him.

"What do we do? Our cultivation is weak; it might be difficult to capture the thief."

"How about we immediately call someone to catch the thief."

Chu Feng immediately decided to stay and keep watch, while instructing Zhang Dabing to hurry and inform the Mountain Patrol Envoy.

Soon, the Mountain Patrol Envoy was called upon.

Each Mountain Patrol Envoy was a powerhouse of Sword God Level, charged with the safety of the entire Medicine Mountain. Especially concerning matters of thieves, they exerted strict control.
