Elder Zhao anxiously replied, "Since you know this, then why didn't you return it ….."
"Elder Zhao!" Shen Li gave Elder Zhao a look. He didn't think that Ye Zifeng would return it so easily. After all, this was his bargaining chip.
"Ye Zifeng. Tell us. What do you want us to do …..?"
Ye Zifeng straightforwardly replied, "It's simple. Help me get first place in this gathering!"
Hearing this, Elder Zhao and Shen Li felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Their limbs became numb.
"Do you know what you're saying? We promised someone that we wouldn't let you get into the top ten. Now, you're trying to use us? "
Elder Zhao was very curious. This Ye Zifeng's actions were too unexpected. He didn't play by the rules at all.
"That's right. We can stop if you want. However, it's impossible for us to help you cheat … "Shen Li also gave his answer.
Ye Zifeng coldly laughed, "When I was on the Path of Suffering, you guys secretly increased the difficulty. Do you think that I can't tell? What I'm doing now is just to get back the first place that I deserve! "
He paused for a bit and then continued, "Also, you guys can't finish the mission anyways. What's the difference between first place and second place? It's better to let go of the reservations in my heart. If I do this, I'll be thick-skinned enough to take back my Soul Consciousness. Why not? "
After a long silence, Ye Zifeng's words were like a boulder that smashed into the hearts of the two.
That's right. What's the difference if Ye Zifeng gets first or second place? Why don't they follow his words and take back their soul spirit? This will save them three months of hard work.
"Fine …." Shen Li sighed and finally agreed.
"Are you really going to agree to help him cheat? If people find out about this …?" Elder Zhao was slightly taken aback.
Shen Li looked at him, "We've already cheated so much. Why do we care about this …. Also, no matter how important a favor from a big clan is, it's not as important as ourselves. I don't need to tell you. You should know how important the soul spirit is. "
"This …" Elder Zhao coughed and helplessly sighed.
"But Ye Zifeng, what method did you use to seal our soul spirits?" Elder Zhao couldn't help but ask. This was the biggest question in their minds.
"This ….. I'll keep it a secret for now ….." Ye Zifeng smiled mysteriously. He hoped that the fact that he could refine the Spirit Binding Pill would be made known to the world. At least, now was not the time. Whether it was himself or the entire Ye Clan, they weren't strong enough. They hadn't become overlords who could defeat all their opponents with just a shake of their bodies.
…
A thick layer of ice covered Ye Zifeng's body, making him look like a snowman.
His deep eyes opened slightly, and he calmly and indifferently stood up. The bone-chilling cold was no longer as frightening, and there seemed to be a faint trace of warmth.
"It seems like the feeling of cheating with the host is pretty good." Ye Zifeng had a bright smile on his face. He wasn't a gentleman in the first place. As long as he didn't cross his bottom line, he wouldn't care about the small details.
He gently brushed off the ice shards on his body. He knew very well that without the help of the two hosts, this world of ice and snow would not be as exaggerated as before, but it would be enough to freeze him to the point where he couldn't even walk.
"No matter what, I'll just pretend."
Ye Feng pretended to grit his teeth and sucked in a breath of cold air. A determined look appeared in his eyes.
He roared and leaped up again. "Sixty-first step!"
As soon as he stepped on the 61st step, a few terrifying and suffocating cold auras rushed towards Ye Zifeng. Ye Zifeng was startled and his heart tightened. He subconsciously suppressed Elder Zhao's soul spirit in his mind, causing him to shiver in pain.
"Sorry. My heart shook a bit ….." Ye Zifeng awkwardly smiled.
It's fine if his hand shook a bit, but how could his heart shake? He did it on purpose.
Elder Zhao cursed in his heart. However, he didn't dare to be negligent. Finally, before the cold qi could get close to Ye Zifeng, he transformed the qi into a cool breeze. It blew across Ye Zifeng's cheeks, making him feel a bit cold.
"Kid. Be gentler ….. My old bones aren't enough for you to play around with!"
Ye Zifeng's expression turned serious, "Not good. Another cold aura is coming ….."
"You stinking brat. I'll remember this!" Elder Zhao really wanted to slap Ye Zifeng in the face. However, he and Shen Li had already agreed to help Ye Zifeng so they could only help him.
"62nd step!"
"63rd step!"
In the blink of an eye, there wasn't much time left.
"65th step! I'm so tired! " Ye Zifeng pretended to be exhausted. When he finally reached the 65th step, he sat on the ground and started to rest.
Actually, his true intention was to take this opportunity to let Elder Zhao and Elder Shen rest for a while. The two of them were maintaining the operation of the formation on one side, and on the other side, they were helping Ye Feng resist the cold air one after another. He was doing two things at once, and his body was gradually unable to take it anymore.
… …
On the 66th step of the Heaven Stairway, Wang Tianzhi was wearing thick and coarse clothes. His entire body was frozen by the cold air and curled up into a ball. After struggling for a while, he finally lost his strength and fell on the stairs, unable to stand up again.
He laughed to himself, "Coming this far, I should be able to establish my position as the first. Father, mother, I, Wang Tianzhi, have finally lived up to everyone's expectations. This time, I have obtained the first place on the Heaven Stairway! I've brought glory to the Wang clan! "
The first place of the Heavenly Clan Gathering was very important to a young genius. If Wang Tianzhi gets first place, then in the future, the entire Wang clan will give him a lot of resources and nurture him.
However, his laughter did not last for too long. Suddenly, a leg appeared beside him and stood motionless beside Wang Tianzhi.
Wang Tianzhi was startled and blankly stared at the leg. It was as if he hadn't come back to his senses.
"I'm sorry. This time, the person who got first place is not you ….."
Wang Tianzhi raised his head and looked up. His mouth was so wide that it could fit a fist. He was stunned.
"You ….. You're Ye Zifeng? How did you get here?! " Looking at Wang Tianzhi's expression, he was completely shocked. It was as if he was numb and had no strength left in his body.
Ye Zifeng smiled and looked at Wang Tianzhi's appearance. He saw that Wang Tianzhi was wearing a grey robe with a dark color master's barbarian belt on his waist. His short hair was neat and tidy and his body was rather robust. With one look, Ye Zifeng could tell that Wang Tianzhi was a strong man.
However, Ye Zifeng wasn't afraid of him. This was because even if he was at the peak of qi refining, he would still be like an arrow at the end of its flight after reaching the 66th step. Also, the Heavenly Clan Gathering forbids people from attacking each other. Even if he cursed at Wang Tianzhi right now, Wang Tianzhi wouldn't be able to jump up and hit him.
"You're asking me how I got here? As you can see, I climbed the stairs all the way here. "
Wang Tianzhi was shocked and shook his head, "No way. That's not possible ….."
"Do you think that I'll be ambushed halfway and be kicked out of the top 10?" Ye Zifeng smiled.
Wang Tianzhi stared blankly for a moment. He wanted to ask how did you know, but if he said it like that, it would give him the feeling of admitting it without being pressed. Hesitating for a moment, his face immediately turned red, and he was unable to say a word for a long time.
"Alright. I'm done greeting you. It's about time for me to head up to the 67th step ….." Ye Zifeng looked up and started to rub his hands together again.
"67th step? You're only at the fourth stage of qi refining. It's a miracle that you're able to make it here. Don't tell me that you still have the strength to continue? "
Wang Tianzhi crawled on the ground and tried his best to sit up. This was already his limit. It was hard for him to even stand up.
"Everyone's at the fourth stage of qi refining. Don't you think it's annoying?"
A sharp look appeared in Ye Zifeng's eyes, "That's right. You guessed it right. That's what I meant! I, Ye Zifeng, will be the first place winner of the Heavenly Clan Gathering! "
As soon as he finished speaking, under Wang Tianzhi's startled gaze, Ye Zifeng's figure turned into a dragon and flew towards the horizon. He steadily landed on the 67th step of the Heaven Stairway ….
… …
In the Liu clan's residence, there was a girl wearing a lotus colored gown. Her face was facing the blossoming trees. Her figure was slender and her long hair was draped over her back. She was extremely beautiful.
"Miss Ningzi, the first stage of the Heavenly Clan Gathering ended this morning ….." A pretty maid called out from behind Liu Ningzi. Her name was Yue-er. Even though she wasn't that old, she had been serving Liu Ningzi for many years.
Liu Ningzi let out an "oh" sound as a faint smile appeared on her face. "Is it over? Then let me ask you. Is the first place winner still the Wang clan's Wang Tianzhi? "
Yue-er timidly shook her head.
Liu Ningzi smiled and a surprised expression appeared on her face, "I didn't think that after five years, there would be another young hero in Leizhou City. Is it the Rong clan? Is it the Xiao clan? Could it be the Hong clan ….. "
