Chapter 348: Chapter 349: Show of Force (4th Update) (Please Subscribe!!!)

In the imperial city of the Qin Emperor’s kingdom, solemnity reigned supreme. The stationed soldiers, each possessed the strength of the Spiritual Sea Realm.

This was the heart of the Qin Emperor’s kingdom where all the powerful converged. Feng Mian’s Spiritual Sense swept across the city. In this imperial city there were at least forty or fifty saints present.

It was the most unfathomable place in the entire Qin Emperor’s kingdom. Even Feng Mian sensed many hidden presences; he was too far to detect their realms at the moment.

He could only detect their auras.

"Let’s go in."

Standing at the gates of the imperial city, Feng Mian didn’t linger and strode in.

So what if the city was teeming with powerful people? Feng Mian was no weakling now; if he wanted to cause a commotion, there were few in the city who could stop him. Naturally, he was unafraid.

"Guard Xue Sha."

The guarding soldiers didn’t recognize Feng Mian, but they did recognize Prince Xue Sha following him. They saluted and allowed them to pass.

Saints, even in the Qin Emperor’s kingdom, held extremely high status and were revered by all.

Despite Prince Xue Sha hardly daring to breathe heavily in front of Feng Mian, in this Qin Emperor’s kingdom, he still upheld a position of significant authority and power.

"Hmm."

With a nod, Prince Xue Sha led Feng Mian into the imperial city, heading towards Princess Tian Yin’s estate.

But barely halfway there, Feng Mian sensed several auras coming their way.

Clearly, they were heading specifically for Feng Mian and Prince Xue Sha.

"Prince Xue Sha, long time no see."

Suddenly, two figures approached— an older man and a young one. The young one, stepping forward, bore an impressive and distinguished air, extravagantly dressed, exuding nobility and supreme dignity in every movement.

The elder standing behind him wore an expression of tranquility, yet his eyes carried a lofty disdain, as if he didn’t regard Prince Xue Sha as worthy of his attention.

Feng Mian couldn’t help but scrutinize the elder, who was a peak sixth level Divine Power realm practitioner—though not on par with Ao Zhenyuan, he was far superior to the likes of Feng Yan.

In the Qin Emperor’s kingdom, he was definitely a top-tier powerhouse.

Alongside these two, numerous Guards appeared as well. Each one possessed the strength beyond the Wind Imperial Realm—a total of twenty men, clearly the elite cultivated by the Qin Emperor’s royal family.

Such a retinue was enough to testify to the pair’s distinguished status.

"It turns out to be the Great Prince and the Great Commander Prince Tai Dou."

Seeing the two, Prince Xue Sha’s face grew solemn, and he covertly transmitted to Feng Mian,

"These two are the Great Prince and Prince Tai Dou of the Qin Emperor’s royal family."

"The Great Prince is the foremost contender against Princess Tian Yin within the royal family, his power no less influential. He is a great worry in Princess Tian Yin’s side."

"And this Prince Tai Dou is one of the three highly respected and powerful princes within the royal family. We princes are all a rank below him. Prince Tai Dou is the Great Prince’s mentor and staunch supporter. He is not easy to deal with."

In secret, Prince Xue Sha relayed the identities of the two men to Feng Mian.

"The Great Prince? Prince Tai Dou?"

Feng Mian regarded the two, but he was indifferent.

As long as they didn’t provoke Feng Mian, it didn’t matter who they were. He needn’t care.

"Great Prince, Grand Duke Tai Dou, for what reason have the two of you come seeking this lesser prince?"

Prince Xue Sha spoke calmly.

Clearly, they had come for them, and he was well aware of it.

However, the status of these two individuals was indeed higher than his, and he did not have an easy way to resolve the situation at the moment.

"Prince Xue Sha, there’s no need for courtesy. I’ve come this time only to see for myself who exactly is the person that has subdued the Demolition Legion."

"It is said that this person is also the current Great Commander of the Qin Emperor’s Legion. How about it, Prince Xue Sha, won’t you introduce us?"

The Great Prince looked at Prince Xue Sha and spoke with a calm face.

"Damn it, how could this news have spread so quickly, even starting from within Shouzhou Ancient City; the Great Prince has his spies, too."

Upon hearing the Great Prince’s words, Prince Xue Sha cursed inwardly, now coming to a realization.

These two noble figures had suddenly appeared to intercept him, apparently for Chu Fengmian.

But with the way things were now, he didn’t have a good solution and could only stiffen his resolve and address Chu Fengmian.

"Master Chu, these two are the Great Prince and Grand Duke Tai Dou, please meet them."

Upon hearing the pair’s words, Chu Fengmian frowned and stepped forward, yet he did not say anything.

He had not wanted to attract trouble, but unexpectedly, trouble had taken the initiative to find its way to Chu Fengmian’s doorstep.

Standing behind the Great Prince, a soldier at the pinnacle state of controlling wind suddenly appeared and shouted loudly at Chu Fengmian.

"Audacious scoundrel! To see the Great Prince and Grand Duke Tai Dou and yet not kneel and pay respects is to show disrespect to the royal family! You have committed a grave offense!"

"Now, kneel quickly and beg for the forgiveness of the Great Prince and Grand Duke Tai Dou to absolve you of your sin!"

With that single statement from the soldier, the air at the scene turned ice-cold to the extreme.

Especially Prince Xue Sha, who couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat, for he knew Chu Fengmian’s personality all too well.

Whoever dared to provoke Chu Fengmian would become an enemy he would not rest until he had vanquished, regardless of which side they were from.

"Hmm?"

A flicker of murderous intent passed through Chu Fengmian’s eyes, and at the same time, he could also tell that this soldier, obviously acting on instructions from the Great Prince and Grand Duke Tai Dou, now dared to scold Chu Fengmian.

After all, not to mention the rumors about Chu Fengmian, but even Chu Fengmian’s identity solely as the Great Commander of both Qin Emperor’s Legion and the Demolition Legion was not something a mere soldier could dare scold.

This soldier was clearly acting on instructions, now daring to scold Chu Fengmian.

But who had instigated it was now evidently clear at a glance.

Chu Fengmian’s eyes turned to the Great Prince and Grand Duke Tai Dou, both of whom were looking at Chu Fengmian with a sneer, wanting to see what Chu Fengmian would do.

Their statuses were indeed above Chu Fengmian’s, and according to protocol, Chu Fengmian must pay his respects; they were now taking this opportunity to try to intimidate Chu Fengmian.

"Is this an attempt at intimidation?"

A trace of coldness flashed in Chu Fengmian’s eyes.

Chu Fengmian was not one to cause trouble, but he was no pushover either; whoever dared to squeeze him would have to pay the price.

"What’s the matter, boy, are you talking to you, did you not hear clearly? Kneel immediately! Guards, this man is certainly a spy from another country; subdue him, take him away for questioning, and ascertain his identity!"

Seeing Chu Fengmian not responding, the soldier became even more arrogant and bellowed loudly.
