My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

Qingfeng Li’s brows furrowed at the sight in front of him. There were many self-cultivators near the Immortal Sutra, and he could see that there were many sect masters of various sects.

Jianhuang Zhao, the sect master of the Sword-Emperor Sect, was there, along with the sect master of the Blade-Emperor Sect, Binghuang Dao. Next to them was the sect master of the Beast-Emperor Sect, Yihuang Shou and the sect master of the Talisman-Emperor Sect, Huohuang Fu. All four men had reached the Spirit Emperor Realm, and they all exuded energies exponentially stronger than what they had emitted at the start of Hell.

Besides these four emperor level masters, many other self-cultivators were also next to the Immortal Sutra. In total, there were a couple of thousands of people in the crowd, all there for the Immortal Sutra.

Suddenly, Jianghuang Zhao saw the Saint Perishing Tree flying towards them. He was delighted at the sight.

"The Saint Perishing Fruit! It’s the Saint Perishing Fruit! What a fantastic day, not only will I obtain the Immortal Sutra, I will also get the Saint Perishing Fruit!" Jianhuang Zhao laughed loudly, his eyes full of delight.

"Jianhuang Zhao, think again. Both the Immortal Sutra and the Saint Perishing Fruit belongs to me!" Binghuang Dao said with a faint smile.

Both Binghuang Dao and Jianghuang Zhao were the sect masters of their respective sects, and they were even friends before this. In the face of treasures, however, the two were ready to battle it out at any given moment.

In the other direction, the Beast-Emperor Sect’s Yihuang Shou and the Talisman-Emperor Sect’s Huohuang Fu were also in a tense situation.

Qingfeng Li’s eyes wandered, looking everywhere as he was searching for something.

"Big Brother Li, what are you looking for?" asked the Flower Fairy, her voice laced with confusion.

Qingfeng Li said, "Nothing. I’m just looking around."

Black Puppy shook its head and said, "Liar, I know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for Linger Yao. Did you find her?"

Qingfeng Li was furious that Black Puppy had revealed his intentions. He reached out his hand, wanting to hit Black Puppy.

The poor puppy wagged its tail and said, "If you hit me, I’m not going to tell you where Linger Yao is."

Qingfeng Li’s hand halted above Black Puppy’s head. He said coldly, "Little dog, where is Linger Yao? How come I don’t see her?"

Qingfeng Li suddenly remembered that Black Puppy had a very sharp sense of smell. It had picked up on her scent before, so it should know her current location.

Black Puppy raised its head and said, "I can tell you where Linger Yao is, but you’ll have to give me the root of the Saint Perishing Tree once you obtain the Saint Perishing Fruit."

"What do you need the root for?" Qingfeng Li asked, clearly confused.

The most important part of the Saint Perishing Tree was the Saint Perishing Fruit. Its roots were useless.

Black Puppy wagged its tail and said, "Don’t worry about that. Just give me a yes or no. You can use the Saint Perishing Fruit to save the baby. If you give me the tree root, I’ll tell you where Linger Yao is."

Qingfeng Li thought about what Black Puppy offered and couldn’t figure why it wanted the tree root. He said, "Little dog, I’ll give you the tree root. Now tell me where Linger Yao is."

Black Puppy reached out its paw and pointed towards a long-haired man, saying, "Do you see that? That’s Linger Yao."

Qingfeng Li gazed towards where Black Puppy pointed at and saw a good-looking man. It was not Linger Yao.

"Black Puppy! You dare to lie to me?! Do you want to get whipped?" Qingfeng Li channeled his vital essence into his palm, preparing to teach Black Puppy a lesson for lying to him.

Black Puppy scrunched its snout and said, "You’re so dumb. She’s obviously in disguise. She changed her face to hide her identity. Don’t you know about the art of disguise?"

Hearing Black Puppy’s words, Qingfeng Li raised his eyebrows in sudden realization.

He was familiar with the art of disguise. It was a technique that could change one’s appearance, and he had used it before to alter his appearance. It was a profound technique, used only by the most powerful of masters.

Although the technique could disguise one’s appearance, it could not alter one’s scent. This was why Black Puppy picked up on Linger Yao’s scent immediately.

Qingfeng Li stared at the good-looking long-haired man with a heated gaze, unable to move his eyes away.

The good-looking long-haired man gave Qingfeng Li a harsh stare, warning him to stop staring.

Seeing this, Flower Fairy felt a pang of jealousy. She heard the conversation between Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy. Now that Qingfeng Li was staring at Linger Yao, she felt a slight sense of envy.

"Big Brother Li, you’ve come to the second layer of Hell for the Saint Perishing Fruit, not for Linger Yao. The baby is still waiting for your rescue!" Flower Fairy reminded Qingfeng Li.

Xianzhi Qin also said, "Big Brother Li, hurry up and grab the Saint Perishing Fruit! That’s what’s important."

Alice, one of the members of the Wolf Fang Team, also said, "Boss, are you drooling again? Hurry up and grab the Saint Perishing Fruit! What are you waiting for?"

Qingfeng Li was speechless. "Why are they all yelling at me? I’m a good person! How am I drooling? It’s not like it’s a woman."

Qingfeng Li knew that his companions didn’t really like Linger Yao. After all, she was the sect master of the Demonic-Emperor Sect, a force from the unorthodox side of the cultivation world.

"Alright, alright, stop telling me what to do. I’ll go grab the Saint Perishing Fruit." With furrowed brows, Qingfeng Li walked forward.

"Kid, this is no place for you. Get out of here." A disciple in black blocked Qingfeng Li’s way.

Qingfeng Li was in no mood to be bothered. He waved out his palm and smashed it on the disciple in black, killing him instantly.

Qingfeng Li’s actions would lead him into trouble, as he had just killed a disciple of the Sword-Emperor Sect. The sect master of the Sword-Emperor Sect was standing right there, watching everything.

Next to the sect master of the Sword-Emperor Sect stood his daughter Binger Zhao. The expression on her pretty face was dark as could be as she glowered at Qingfeng Li.

"Father, Qingfeng Li is trouble. He previously stole the Hell Flower and injured me. Now he even kills one of our disciples. You must avenge him!" Binger Zhao said towards her father.

Jianhuang Zhao nodded as he turned towards the second elder of the sect, who was next to him, and said, "Go and kill Qingfeng Li. Show him the consequences of crossing our Sword-Emperor Sect."

The Second Elder nodded and began walking towards Qingfeng Li. Just then, the Right Guardian of the Beast-Emperor Sect stepped out as well, also heading towards Qingfeng Li.

"Right Guardian, Qingfeng Li is mine to kill. What are you doing?" asked the Second Elder with furrowed brows.

The Right Guardian said, "I just got news that Qingfeng Li killed the Beast-Emperor Sect’s Left Guardian, my junior brother. I need to avenge him."
