"Ignorant!" After saying these two words, the woman seemed unwilling to waste words any further. She simply instructed the centipede, "Go ahead, enjoy a meal."

Upon hearing this, the centipede received the command and emitted a rustling sound. Countless legs began to move; as it was less than three meters away from the Meng Father and son, the centipede suddenly launched an attack. Its body gently curled, gathered strength, and shot towards the Meng Father and son.

The Meng Father and son instinctively waved the objects in their hands in an attempt to block the attack. Being forced into such a situation by a centipede was a humiliation for them, but the situation would not change because of humiliation. The centipede leapt forward with extremely fast speed, almost reaching Meng Xiaoxiong in the blink of an eye. Meng Xuesong’s eyes widened in fury and he wanted to push his son away, but he was too slow to react while the centipede was too fast.

"Smack!" A sound echoed; Meng Xiaoxiong squeezed his eyes shut. Though he didn’t want to die and was deeply afraid, as the centipede charged right in front of him, he knew he couldn’t escape and instinctively closed his eyes. A smack sound reached his ears; Meng Xiaoxiong confirmed he wasn’t attacked, so he quickly opened his eyes and saw a figure had appeared in front of him—it was Li Yifei, who had chased out earlier. He stood between the Meng Father and son, and that terrifying centipede... was now on the ground, pressed under a slipper, an ordinary men’s slipper, perfectly pounding the centipede.

Meng Xiaoxiong didn’t see the process because his eyes were shut tight. However, Meng Xuesong saw it clearly. He was too late to stop the fearsome centipede, and at that moment, Li Yifei appeared. He leapt through the window and threw a slipper from the windowsill. With a swoosh, it flew and struck the centipede that was about to reach Meng Xiaoxiong’s face.

The slipper itself was lightweight, not causing much harm if it struck a person. But this slipper was thrown by Li Yifei, so it was different; the slipper fiercely hit the centipede, resulting in the smack sound that landed the centipede on the ground.

Speaking of the woman at the door... Her centipede was raised through rites, similar to worm cultivation. It had impressive combat strength, a strong body, with a penchant for eating brains. Normally, the woman used animal brains to nourish it. Today, she intended to kill a human to further enhance its strength, but she did not expect her powerful centipede to be struck dead by a mere slipper.

The woman’s expression drastically changed. She confirmed the centipede was dead—so dead, in fact, that there was no bringing it back. She screamed in a rage, "You actually killed my centipede."

Li Yifei calmly looked at her and said, "Your centipede? How unfortunate. This kind of bug should be killed when seen, otherwise, what’s the point of keeping it alive?"

"You!" The woman was infuriated. She took several steps forward, glaring at Li Yifei, and said, "You killed my centipede. I want you to pay for it with your life!"

"I’ve heard these kinds of threats a lot. Frankly, with just your words, you won’t succeed, haha!" Li Yifei chuckled lightly. He could easily deal with the woman but intended to learn more about Fu Yingwei, so he said, "Fu Yingwei has so much money, yet he hired someone like you? Relying on a pathetic centipede to scare people, that’s quite embarrassing."

Upon hearing Li Yifei’s words, the woman across him twitched her eye corners. Clearly, she hadn’t expected Li Yifei to see through her true capabilities. In fact, the centipede was her only killing move; as for her own combat skills, they just couldn’t compare—though in relation to ordinary people, she was quite formidable.

Seeing Li Yifei step forward and calm the situation, the Meng Father and son simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Especially Meng Xiaoxiong, who had just taken a trip around the ghost gate, secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, still shaken.

Li Yifei continued looking at the woman, who hesitated briefly and then demanded, "Who exactly are you? Some matters are beyond your control. Leave now, and I can pretend nothing happened!"

"Can’t you change your lines?" Li Yifei couldn’t help but laugh. Hearing such a cliché threat, he shook his head and said, "Your companion is already down; don’t expect him to save you now."

"You!" The woman didn’t expect her bluff to be exposed. She had just sent out a call for help, receiving no response and trying to stall for time.

Indeed, Li Yifei had been in pursuit; someone had fled through the window, but that person was merely a distraction, not a master. Li Yifei quickly caught up with him, easily took him down, knocked him out, and tossed him into a garbage can. However, that person didn’t carry the materials he was searching for, so Li Yifei hurried back and witnessed the woman’s attack. Had he delayed even a bit, Meng Xiaoxiong would likely have ended up dead.

In the woman’s eyes, the man who killed the centipede with a slipper was unfathomable—she couldn’t gauge his depth at all. Realizing her threats were futile, she found herself in a dilemma.

"Now kneel, seal your pressure points. Answer whatever I ask, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, this will be the end of your journey today."

"I am not one of Fu Yingwei’s people!" the woman defended herself.

Li Yifei put away his smile, looked at the other coldly, and said: "But you can’t separate yourself from him. You’re working for him!"

"Are you sure you want to be enemies with our entire organization?"

"Now that you mention it, I’m curious. What is your organization? Share with us. If it scares me, maybe I’ll let you go!" Li Yifei teased, implying that no matter what organization was backing this woman, he wasn’t afraid. After all, can any organization be more formidable than Noah’s Ark?

The woman’s face changed dramatically, and the muscles on her face squirmed, as if a centipede was crawling under her skin. Eventually, she said: "Fine, since you insist, I’ll tell you. I’m a member of the Glory Organization. Our organization..."

Before the woman could finish, Li Yifei raised his hand to stop her and interjected: "What a ridiculous name. Could it be any more foolish?"

"You! Insulting the organizers, the organization will definitely hunt you down!" The woman didn’t expect the other party to remain unafraid even after she revealed the organization’s name.

Li Yifei squinted his eyes. Being hunted for insulting the organization? That reveals the organization’s malicious nature. Only cults or evil organizations would resort to such threats, and so his demeanor turned completely cold. He no longer wanted to waste words with the woman. He strode towards her, and she immediately resisted, throwing at Li Yifei two handfuls of white smoke, which was evidently poisonous. However, Li Yifei merely waved his hand gently, showing no intention of dodging.

With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the smoke. Li Yifei reached out to grab the woman, who squatted down trying to evade. The smoke was her final way to save herself, given to her as a reward by the organization. Incredibly toxic, yet he didn’t even try to dodge, appearing completely unaffected, which terrified her to no end. Nonetheless, she couldn’t escape. Her neck was clutched by Li Yifei, causing her body to instantly lose strength. Turned into woman, terror seeped in, her eyes rolled back, and her body convulsed uncontrollably.

The Meng Father and son saw this scene. The woman, who was seemingly as formidable as the Grim Reaper, was subdued by Li Yifei in an instant. When looking at Li Yifei anew, their eyes were filled with awe, unwilling to provoke him further.

A few minutes later, Li Yifei received the information he wanted and threw the woman to the ground. By now, she was as limp as mud. Under Li Yifei’s psychic interference, her mental resilience was practically null. She couldn’t withstand Li Yifei’s intimidation.

She fell to pieces under his mental assault, divulging everything Li Yifei wished to know.

This woman was sent by Fu Yingwei, but she wasn’t under his direct command. She belonged to the Glory Organization she just mentioned. In this organization, she’s merely the lowest level personnel. The whole organization consists of about thirty people. The woman joined the organization in the last couple of years; it’s based in the Northwest Region... Essentially composed of cultivators. As for the organization’s nature, they do anything for money and benefit, sounding more like mercenaries who act without principles. From the woman’s mouth, Li Yifei already felt repulsion towards this organization.

This time, the woman and her subordinates were dispatched by Fu Yingwei because he found the house of Meng Father and son. He sent people over to act preemptively. If anything substantial was found, then eliminate them immediately. Therefore, the woman ordered her subordinates to leave, staying behind to silence them herself. But ironically, she encountered Li Yifei. The techniques she was proud of were utterly trivial in the face of Li Yifei, like the difference between squashing a centipede cultivated over years and an ant, at most requiring a bit more effort in throwing the slipper.

Nonetheless, this affair confirmed Fu Yingwei’s ruthlessness. Even if Meng Father and son played the fool, he wouldn’t let them off. Previously, he refrained from killing them only because he hadn’t found the evidence, worrying it would be exposed upon their deaths.

Meng Father and son also heard this, and fear gripped them. Yet, fortunately, they met Li Yifei, who apparently is a principled man.

The woman is merely a small fry; she wouldn’t know much more. Li Yifei considered how to deal with her. Killing her outright seemed perhaps inappropriate, even though she intended to kill, but in Huaxia, Li Yifei decided to call Zhang Tianxing and others over to find a place to hold these two for now.

As for the woman’s limited cultivation, it was rendered useless by Li Yifei. Her Dantian was shattered, incapable of healing in the short term, and even if healed, the Dantian would never recover.

He glanced at the evidence briefly and felt quite satisfied. This pile of evidence was relatively thorough, though not extremely significant or direct, it was good enough. Li Yifei was quite pleased, which relieved the Meng Father and son.
