Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Escorting the Beauty

After disposing of Liu Kui, Chu Feng turned his gaze towards the archenemy of Sword King Mansion.

Over the years, Prince Liu not only used every means to suppress Sword King Mansion but also colluded with Bloody Beard in an attempt to assassinate Chu Feng.

When enemies meet, they are exceptionally disdainful of each other.

How dare this old wretch spout nonsense outside, putting on official airs and wantonly pinning crimes on Sword King Mansion. In just three words, he needs a lesson.

Chu Feng didn’t need to act personally, but continued to let Bloody Beard take action.

Giving Binding Beard a meaningful glance, Bloody Beard immediately walked towards Prince Liu with a grim face, holding his blood-dripping sword.

"Hu Gang Leader, you’re here too!" Prince Liu wasn’t surprised to see Bloody Beard appear inside Sword King Mansion. After all, he had paid Hu Gang Leader to assassinate Chu Feng.

He greeted Bloody Beard with a smile.

"Damn it, who are you accusing of harboring an assassin?"

Bloody Beard raised his hand and "smack smack" gave Prince Liu two heavy slaps.

Prince Liu, having lived in comfort, had extremely weak combat ability.

Added to the fact that his cultivation was far inferior to Bloody Beard’s, he was solidly slapped twice, unable to dodge at all.

He covered his face, shocked and furious, "Hu Gang Leader, what the hell are you hitting me for?" In the Royal Capital, Prince Liu is at least an important minister with a very high status.

This is not just about experiencing pain.

He’s losing face and dignity.

Slap slap!

Two more heavy slaps flew across.

"I’m hitting you, you old wretch! Sword King Mansion is honest and upright, a lineage of loyal and good subjects, and you do nothing but engage in such despicable acts."

"Instead of hunting for the assassin, you are using this opportunity to settle private grievances, running wild in Sword King Mansion."

"If you think Sword King Mansion has no one to stand up for it, I’m from the worldly society, with justice above all, willing to speak up for justice and stand up for Sword King Mansion."

Bloody Beard’s words and deeds nearly made Prince Liu choke with rage.

His face had swollen like a pig’s head; trembling with his hand, he pointed at Bloody Beard and cursed, "You, what are you doing? Don’t forget the agreement between you and this prince!" Prince Liu was subtly reminding Bloody Beard of their arrangement—that he had paid Bloody Beard to assassinate Chu Feng.

No matter what, Bloody Beard should be helping himself.

Now it has completely turned into the opposite tune.

Bloody Beard, slapping his own left cheek, then the right, was completely siding with Sword King Mansion.

Money spent in vain for punishment!

How could Prince Liu not be infuriated? If not for the fear of Bloody Beard’s ferocity, he probably would have torn Bloody Beard alive.

"Agreement? What agreement?"

"Even a thief has their principles! Although I do evil things thoroughly, at least I have my limits. With a degenerate and scum like you, would I have an agreement?"

Bloody Beard normally would not easily offend a powerful minister such as Prince Liu.

But now, being Chu Feng’s puppet, things were completely different. He completely turned against Prince Liu, offending him fiercely.

He took the money, didn’t do the job, and now even turned to attack Prince Liu.

Chu Jianlan and the soldiers, one by one, were dumbfounded. They really couldn’t understand what was wrong with the formidable Hu Gang Leader — why was he fervently siding with Sword King Mansion?

"You..."

Prince Liu was so angry that his complexion turned from red to blue, and he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, directly provoked by Bloody Beard to vomit blood.

Since his dealings with Bloody Beard couldn’t stand exposure to light,

Now that Bloody Beard has turned his back on him, he has no recourse and can’t make it public.

Otherwise, if the whole world knew he had paid to hire someone to assassinate Chu Feng,

The vacant position of Grand Marshal would definitely be out of his reach.

"What ’you’? I’m not familiar with you at all!"

"The search is over, immediately take people to carry away Liu Kui’s corpse! Then withdraw from Sword King Mansion. As for today’s events at the Sword King Mansion, I will inform the Emperor through other channels, reaching directly to the heavens."

Bloody Beard rolled his eyes, menacing and intimidating.

If Prince Liu dared to utter half a word more, he would definitely strike again to show just how severe his slap was.

Prince Liu had been struck, and even lost one of his suspension mirror masters from his family.

Now he had no choice but to bow his head and tuck his tail, fleeing.

It’s true what they say, a vicious dog only listens to a heavy stick.

"Withdraw!"

Prince Liu did not dare to say another word, but the resentment in his heart had reached its peak.

Given his sinister and cruel nature, he would certainly seek revenge afterwards.

"Prince Liu, please leave, we won’t see you out!"

"If you’re feeling itchy next time, feel free to visit our Sword King Mansion. Big slaps, shoe soles, we have them ready for you anytime!"

Chu Feng also knew when to stop, just at the right time.

Killing Liu Kui was already a huge deal, but with solid evidence of Liu Kui and his people’s rule-breaking violence in hand, there was nothing to be afraid of. Plus, with the secret support of the Blood Sword Gang, everything would certainly be smoothed over.

Pushing down the whole affair.

The Royal Family cares greatly about their image and face. The Imperial Minister they sent indulged in personal vendettas, bullied the people of the Sword King Mansion, and even sought to defile Chu Feng’s sister-in-law. With such misdeeds made public, the hypocritical Emperor would have no choice but to cooperate with Sword King Mansion.

Possibly he would even punish Liu Kui posthumously with a flogging to show the Emperor’s fairness and sternness.

Watching Prince Liu and his soldiers all departing, Chu Feng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now having subdued both Han Qianren and Bloody Beard gave him a bit more confidence.

However, unbeknownst to him, there were still eyes secretly watching over the Sword King Mansion.

Those belonged to the Shopkeeper of the Treasure Pill Pavilion’s branch in the Jianyun Dynasty.

Following the orders of Chen Dazhong, this person had been closely monitoring Chu Feng. Through events such as the Puppet Elixir, he became even more certain that Chu Feng must be the reborn Eternal Life Pill Master.

Only in the most critical moments would he take action to assist Chu Feng and the Sword King Mansion.

...

The storm had passed just like that.

The black-clothed woman harbored by Chu Feng always posed a big problem. Until he had the strength to confront the Royal Family, he had to send her away.

Now was a good opportunity.

While it was still dark, Chu Feng secretly ordered Han Qianren to knock out a soldier on the street, strip him of his clothes, and have the black-clothed woman put them on. He also took the soldier’s waist token and other items, and amidst the chaos, quietly left the Sword King Mansion.

Then, with the secret support of the Blood Sword Gang, she would be assisted in leaving the Royal Capital after dawn.

When the black-clothed woman departed, she looked at Chu Feng with especially cold eyes, as if she could eat him alive.

As for what exactly happened between her and Chu Feng in the secret chamber for over two hours, outsiders wouldn’t know. All they were aware of was that her poison had been cured by Chu Feng.

After dawn, Chu Feng appeared near the North City Gate of the King City.

He stood on a three-level pavilion and looked far into the distance, watching a carriage of the Blood Sword Gang leaving the city.

His gaze towards the carriage was filled with an unprecedented tenderness.

Because inside the carriage, the black-clothed woman was hiding.

As for how to evade the inspection of the city guards, such matters were left to the people of the Blood Sword Gang to worry about.

About two hours later, Bloody Beard, whose ferocity spread far and wide in the Jianyun Dynasty, personally made his way to the pavilion where Chu Feng was located.

"Master, the gang members of the Blood Sword Gang have safely escorted the main lady out of King City. And they can absolutely guarantee her safety," Bloody Beard reported respectfully.

"Very good!" Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction, then smiled and said, "However, calling her ’main lady’ might be a bit premature. We don’t know yet if that girl would approve!"

Chu Feng touched his nose, the images of the black-clothed woman’s beautiful face that could overthrow states and her seductive, devil-like figure surfaced in his mind.

With her departure, he couldn’t help feeling a sense of loss.

To this day, he still did not know her name, nor her origins. In this life, he also didn’t know whether there would be another chance to meet her again.
