Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 114: Big Trouble

Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Big Trouble

Luo Biao and Hou Ya, among others, suddenly looked pale as they stared at the small porcelain bottle in Chu Feng’s hand as if they were seeing a ferocious tiger or a venomous snake. Their minds trembled in fear.

"Hmph, not even daring to take a single Poison Pill, you really think I’m a fool? If you wish to be two-faced and treacherous, then head to the Underworld!" Chu Feng snorted angrily, signaling the two top experts of the Blood Sword Gang behind him.

They immediately advanced on Luo Biao and Hou Ya with a murderous aura.

Both were super assassins of the Blood Sword Gang, having slaughtered countless people. The killing aura they emitted was palpable and dense.

Feeling their cold, relentless gaze, Luo Biao and the others felt their hearts pound in fear as if they could be killed at any moment.

"We hope you keep your word!" Luo Biao and the others were hardened figures forged in fire and blood.

They knew very well that the seemingly weak and deceitful young man was ruthless and decisive. If he says it, he can absolutely do it.

Even such a fearsome figure as Team Leader Wang was cunningly outplayed to death.

Under Chu Feng’s pressure, ten people succumbed for the second time, and their pride was quickly whittled away to nearly nothing by Chu Feng.

To deal with these defiant troublemakers, one must first grind away their pride and stubborn nature.

Only then can they be directed like an arm commanding a finger, making them bow their heads in obedience.

Only after watching the ten people take the Poison Pill did Chu Feng nod in satisfaction.

And his senior brother was completely stupefied behind him.

If he hadn’t seen with his own eyes how his younger brother tamed this group of unruly troublemakers, he would never believe that the boy before him, familiar yet somewhat strange, was indeed his younger brother.

"Younger brother, even though we have subdued these ten people, mistakenly killing Team Leader Wang is a major crime. I fear we still cannot escape punishment!" Chu Jianlan said with a worried face.

Killing a team leader, he bears the responsibility of command.

The Royal Family sees Sword King Mansion as a thorn in their side and is eager to remove it. Given such an opportunity, the Royal Family will not let it pass.

With the cunning, shrewdness, and ruthlessness of the Jianyun Emperor, upon receiving the news, he would probably laugh loudly. Then, wielding the mighty sword of the royal law, he would put Chu Jianlan on trial and execute him.

Even if Chu Feng used the Death Exemption Token to save Chu Jianlan’s life, his fate would still be precarious.

Luo Biao, Hou Ya, and the others were also nervously watching Chu Feng, their gaze earnest.

Their lives and fortunes depended on Chu Feng.

In just a short moment, this young man had invisibly become the backbone of everyone. The two super assassins of the Blood Sword Gang looked at Chu Feng with a gaze filled with surprise.

The reason they obeyed Chu Feng’s order was because Bloody Beard had asked them to do so.

Chu Feng, calm and composed, smiled lightly and said, "Senior brother, why not search Team Leader Wang’s body? Perhaps something will be discovered."

Hearing Chu Feng’s words, Chu Jianlan’s spirit stirred as it appeared his younger brother had planned in advance.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so confident.

He immediately crouched down to search Team Leader Wang’s body and soon made a shocking discovery.

He saw that Team Leader Wang had a secret letter on him, as well as other incriminating evidence. Upon carefully inspecting it, Chu Jianlan’s expression continuously changed.

By the end, his worried look had completely vanished, and he even showed a hint of a happy smile.

"Good, with these pieces of evidence, killing Team Leader Wang not only exonerates us but also constitutes a great merit! A traitor and a villain, everyone has the right to execute them!"

"I must immediately seek an audience with the Emperor and present these pieces of evidence!"

Chu Jianlan was extremely excited, his hand holding the secret letter trembling slightly.

The content of the letter was extremely beneficial to Chu Jianlan. It mentioned that Team Leader Wang and Prince Liu Mansion regarded Chu Jianlan as a target to be eliminated because Chu Jianlan was upright and loyal to the Royal Family.

Once this letter and the other pieces of evidence are presented together, not only does Team Leader Wang die in vain, but Prince Liu Mansion will also be implicated.

Chu Jianlan is definitely going to be promoted.

No matter whether the Emperor is willing or not, he must promote Chu Jianlan. Otherwise, it would be unjust and dishearten the soldiers throughout the realm.

"Senior brother, I think it would be better to present these evidences to Minister Wu of the Ministry of War than to seek an audience with the Emperor!" Chu Feng blinked his eyes; he had become familiar with Minister Wu through matters of alchemy.

By then, all Chu Jianlan needs to do is mention Chu Feng’s name, and Minister Wu will surely take care of him.

Another benefit is to prevent the Emperor from covering up the matter and keeping it secret.

After all, the Jianyun Emperor is an old fox, turning the clouds with one hand and bringing rain with the other. He acts without principle. As long as it benefits him, he’s capable of killing his wife, assassinating his son, and harming loyal officials—there’s nothing he wouldn’t do.

Chu Jianlan was extremely impressed by this younger brother and immediately nodded again and again in agreement.

...

When Chu Feng returned to the Prince Manor, his sister-in-law had prepared a bowl of medicine soup brewed with Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. It must be said, the beautiful and virtuous sister-in-law truly cared deeply for Chu Feng, her younger brother-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, brother might only come back tomorrow morning! He asked me to tell you not to wait up for him!"

"Also, Alchemy Master Niu has found a way to suppress my fire poison, and there won’t be any major issues from now on. There’s no need to waste Silver Coins trying to brew medicine for me anymore!"

Chu Feng was very aware that his senior brother and sister-in-law scrimped and saved to buy medicine for him, never even blinking an eye at the cost.

"Really? That’s great!"

"Did you just come back and run into your brother?"

A happy smile appeared on the beautiful face of his sister-in-law. She was unaware that her husband had faced a life-threatening ordeal not long ago.

If it weren’t for Chu Feng’s intervention, she might have already been crying and rushing back to the Qiao Family for help.

Chu Feng braced himself and finished the bowl of Snow Lotus Medicine Soup, chatted with his sister-in-law for a bit, and prepared to go to his own room to sleep.

"Young uncle, you’re not getting any younger. Today, I asked a friend to arrange a meeting with a girl for you! I’ll take you to meet her in a few days! At that time, do your best to win the maiden’s heart!"

The sister-in-law instructed Chu Feng like a loving mother.

Actually, Chu Feng was just over sixteen, not old at all.

He wanted to decline, but upon facing his sister-in-law’s hopeful gaze, he couldn’t help but nod in agreement. Chu Feng thought to himself that he would just go through the motions and deliberately perform poorly to let it fall through naturally.

Back in his room, Chu Feng did not relax at all.

Through the day’s events, he became even more aware of the severe crisis. He must urgently enhance his cultivation and then reclaim his Nine Yang Sword Veins.

After taking the Super Essence Building Pill he had concocted himself, he began another bout of intense cultivation.

...

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, as soon as he walked out of his room, he heard a lot of noise outside. Frowning, he went out immediately.

Could it be that people from Prince Liu Mansion have come to make trouble again?

When he reached the front hall, he saw a very dignified elderly man, accompanied by a dozen formidable guards, cornering his sister-in-law.

"Qiao Yue, don’t be stubborn anymore. Chu Jianlan caused a big disaster last night; he accidentally killed his direct supervisor, Team Leader Wang. Now, he has probably been taken to the Heavenly Prison, and after the Ministry of War’s review, he will likely be sentenced to death!"

"Come back with me to the Qiao Family right away, cut all ties with the Sword King Mansion, and clear your relationship!"

As the elderly man spoke, he waved his hand and ordered the guards to forcibly take her away.

Probably the Qiao Family got wind of the event and rushed over in a hurry to take Miss Qiao back.

They could never have imagined that with Chu Feng’s help, not only Chu Jianlan is innocent, but he is also about to be promoted soon.
