Du Feng understood this well. He just wanted his two partners to make money. It was so easy that they didn't want to do anything. Then, they suddenly couldn't make money, and they had to watch others make money.
The Dragon Emperor's Cultivation level was lower than theirs, and he wasn't an official resident of the Holy City. Yet, he made more money than them. How could they stand it? As expected, the two of them had a mental breakdown. They thought about how to deal with the Dragon Emperor every day. However, there were laws in the Holy City, so it wasn't easy for them to make a move.
They didn't want to deal with the Dragon Emperor through business. Ever since he came into contact with the Dongfang family, he didn't need to go through them at all. The Dragon Emperor could make money directly.
One day, the Dragon Emperor left in a hurry. It seemed that he had a secret deal outside. Although they didn't know who he was dealing with, the two partners couldn't help it anymore.
"That Dragon guy is out of the city. Should we …"
One of the partners made a throat-slitting gesture, meaning to take the opportunity to kill the Dragon Emperor outside. Anyway, the Dragon Emperor's Cultivation level was still low, and he was old, so his combat power wasn't strong. There were no laws outside the city. Although it was in the suburbs not far from the city wall, they could still make a move.
"Let's follow him and see who he's dealing with."
The other partner was a little more cautious. They had to first find out who the Dragon Emperor was dealing with. If he was dealing with the Dongfang family, it would be really inconvenient to make a move. There were many experts in the Dongfang family, and they couldn't beat them at all.
Of course, if the person who was dealing with the Cultivation level wasn't high, they could consider killing him together. They just had to make sure that no outsiders saw it. If it was just killing the Dragon Emperor, it didn't matter if outsiders saw it. But it was different when it involved the Chunyu family and the Dongfang family.
Their families were powerful. Once the secret was leaked, they would be besieged by the two families. With the status of the two partners in the Holy City, they would be trampled to death in minutes.
Therefore, they were more cautious and quietly followed the Dragon Emperor out of the city. He had been afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to make a move, but who knew that the Dragon Emperor would actually walk into the woods in the suburbs. Once they entered the forest, the guards on the city wall would not be able to see clearly as their line of sight would be blocked by the leaves. Moreover, those who set up tents outside the city would not easily come to the forest area.
Further in the forest was connected to the Emperor Beast Forest. Once they entered the territory of the Monarch Beast, they could be attacked by the Pseudo-Divine Beasts at any time.
Great! Now that the Dragon Emperor has entered the forest, the Dragon Emperor's heart was filled with excitement. Even if he died, others would think that it was an accident. The two of them could not wait to follow. With their strength, they soon caught up with the Dragon Emperor. When he caught up, he saw the Dragon Emperor secretly trading something with a young man.
"Hmph, now I've caught you. Attack!"
When the two partners saw that the young man's Cultivation Level was not high, they simply rushed forward without hiding themselves.
"What do you two want?"
The Dragon Emperor suddenly turned around and looked at the two of them in horror, as if he was frightened.
When the two partners saw the Dragon Emperor's frightened appearance, they could not help but feel a little proud. "How is it, Dragon? Now that we have caught you, what else do you have to say?"
"If you have earned enough, you want to leave us brothers behind? No way."
Their biggest resentment towards the Dragon Emperor was that they could not get a share of the money later. Cutting off one's path to wealth was like killing one's parents. How could they bear it? In fact, at the beginning, they wanted to threaten the Dragon Emperor to remember to give him two shares in the future. But now that they were in the forest, the two sides were at daggers drawn.
Since it had already come to this, they might as well go all out and kill the Dragon Emperor. His Storage Ring was still on his hand, and there was probably a lot of money in it. This old thing had recently cooperated with the Dongfang Family and had earned a lot. As for the young man, they would kill him as well.
"How dare you! Do you know who I am?"
When the young man saw the two of them, not only was he not afraid, but he was also a little angry. He had secretly asked the Dragon Emperor out to get some benefits alone, but he did not expect to be followed. Since that was the case, he simply showed his waist tag. When they saw the waist tag, the two partners were indeed stunned.
Because the bright word "Dongfang" on the waist tag represented the young man's identity in the Dongfang Family. The Dongfang Family was a big family and had a very high status in the Sacred City. Back then, the Huangfu Family and the current Chunyu Family were not as powerful as the Dongfang Family.
In fact, the Dongfang Family had been trading with the Dragon Emperor during this period. The reason why they secretly traded outside this time was that they thought this young man was also earning extra money behind the family's back.
"Oh, so it's the Young Master of the Dongfang Family. How would we dare to offend you?"
The two partners suddenly changed the topic and said that they did not dare to offend him. But their eyes kept glancing around, and they felt that something was not right. However, the Young Master Dongfang did not see it and thought that his name had really shocked the two, so he proudly continued to trade with the Dragon Emperor.
"Young Master Dongfang, go to hell!"
Unexpectedly, the two partners suddenly exploded. One pounced on the Young Master Dongfang, and the other pounced on the Dragon Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor seemed to be prepared. He turned around and ran into the depths of the forest. The depths of the forest were connected to the Emperor Beast Forest, but he was not afraid of disturbing the Divine Emperor pseudo-divine beasts inside. Meanwhile, the Young Master Dongfang quickly took out his weapon to fight.
The two partners thought that they could deal with it directly. They did not expect things to become so complicated. So one chased desperately, and the other had already started fighting with the Young Master Dongfang. The Young Master Dongfang was young and did not have a high level of Cultivation, but because he practiced the Dongfang Family's techniques, he was not so easily defeated.
More importantly, he had a tool given to him by the elders of his family, which could be used to save his life at a critical moment.
So the person who fought with him hoped that his partner would quickly kill the Dragon Emperor and rush over. The two of them would work together to kill the Young Master Dongfang, so that the news would not leak out. But they did not know that the Dragon Emperor suddenly disappeared from the forest while running.
He did not go to the Emperor Beast Forest, and he did not dare to go there. He really disappeared into thin air. Because Du Feng was hiding not far away and had put him into the small world of the necklace, from an outsider's point of view, it looked like he had disappeared into thin air.
"Du … why are you …"
That partner chased after the Dragon Emperor but couldn't find him. When he turned around, he saw Du Feng. He was about to call him Patriarch Du, but he remembered that his identity was different now, so he did not say it.
"Are you surprised to see me?"
Du Feng looked at him and smiled, meaning that it was no surprise. I have been waiting for you for a long time.
