Chapter 466: Chapter 278 The Audacious Feng Chaonan

"Litt—"

Above the clear sky and white clouds, the White Phoenix soared, occasionally emitting powerful, clear calls.

"Is this Elixir so potent?" Qing Yu held a small, cyan gourd in her hand, murmuring to herself.

After agreeing to the trade proposed by Zhang Xuanji, this ’Elixir demon’ had given her this gourd of Elixir.

Contained within was the Dragon and Tiger Pill (inferior version) that Zhang Xuanji had developed after researching the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill.

He himself called it "Dragon and Tiger Pill," dropping the word ’Golden.’

Although the marvelous effects of this Dragon and Tiger Pill were far from those of the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill and entirely incapable of allowing a Divinity Realm warrior to rapidly recover from injuries to their peak condition,

for someone of the Divine Origin Realm like Qing Yu, the effects of the Dragon and Tiger Pill were almost indistinguishable from those of the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill.

The injuries Qing Yu suffered at her Realm would heal just as effectively with the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill as with the Dragon and Tiger Pill.

Of course, with Qing Yu’s cautious and careful nature, other than in the Inheritance Space, she had not yet sustained such serious injuries to require the use of the Dragon and Tiger Pill.

However, the Dragon and Tiger Pill could not only heal injuries but also harmonize the Three Elements; its medicinal power could aid Qing Yu in faster refining the vital blood left by the meat relics.

Hence the current scene unfolded.

"I have repeatedly scrutinized with the Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Skill, and searched the details bit by bit; after examining the vital blood, I found nothing amiss. It seems this Dragon and Tiger Pill is problem-free," Qing Yu muttered to herself.

While the Dragon and Tiger Pill indeed had miraculous effects, Qing Yu, having once been tricked by the unscrupulous Monk Shi Jue, dared not recklessly ingest it.

So she first fed one to the White Phoenix to see its effects.

Now, according to the current situation, with the White Phoenix’s vitality greatly increased and Primordial Energy nurturing its sinews, it appeared the Dragon and Tiger Pill was problem-free.

"With the aid of this Pill, along with the refining method, even though I’ll still be hindered for some time by the vital blood of the meat relics, compared to before, my condition has improved significantly."

The vital blood within the meat relics allowed Qing Yu to advance her Golden Bell Shield rapidly, making up for the shortcomings of her physical (censorship) body; however, it also delayed the harmonization of the Three Elements that had originally been greatly anticipated.

This outcome was indeed wondrous.

"Tsk, I must be even more cautious from now on to avoid falling into the Dao again," Qing Yu softly said.

She thought she had already been cautious enough, but Monk Shi Jue taught Qing Yu yet another lesson. In this worldly society, no amount of caution is excessive.

Caution is never enough.

This time she found a timely solution for the vital blood issue, but next time may not be so certain.

··························

While Qing Yu made significant gains, elsewhere, Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan’s actions grew increasingly reckless.

Jing Zheng, the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice who replaced Li Renjie, a close friend who passed away, took over the pursuit of the Longevity Powder after Li Renjie’s death.

The Eldest Prince Feng Guanyu, before his demise, had proposed a decree to thoroughly crack down on the Longevity Powder to cut into Feng Chaonan’s financial resources.

This decree was agreed upon by all Imperial Princes, and even after the Eldest Prince’s death, Jing Zheng continued tirelessly fighting against the Longevity Powder.

However, after Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan began his actions to purge dissidents, Jing Zheng, being constantly wary of Feng Chaonan, caught wind of the danger early and has since refused to leave the Ministry of Justice.

Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan, although he became increasingly arrogant after gaining the support of the Azure Dragon Association, had yet to become so mindless as to attack the Ministry of Justice.

However, not attacking the Ministry of Justice did not mean that the Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan had no way of dealing with this Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice who irked him to his core.

Junior Minister Jing Zheng could evade the Ministry of Justice, and his family could be quietly brought into hiding there, but his elderly mother back in his hometown could not.

Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan had used Jing Zheng’s mother as a threat, lured him out of the Ministry of Justice, out of the Divine Capital, and into these desolate hills and wild ridges.

Now, this Junior Minister Jing Zheng was completely at Feng Chaonan’s mercy.

"Ha ha ha..."

Crazed laughter reverberated as Feng Chaonan kicked Jing Zheng down and pinned him underfoot, "Jing Zheng, oh Jing Zheng, weren’t you so cocky? Always clinging to me like a mad dog, never letting go, and now, how about it? Ha ha ha..."

Jing Zheng’s head was being stepped on by Feng Chaonan, but the half of his face that wasn’t plunged into the dirt was filled with shock.

"You really are Gong Ziyu, Feng Chaonan."

The person he had always been fixated on, if not the Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan, then who else?

"It’s me, so what?" Feng Chaonan’s right foot, resting on Jing Zheng’s head, shifted from side to side, pressing his entire head into the dark soil.

"Even if you discover my identity, what of it?" Saying this, Feng Chaonan simply removed his bronze mask, revealing a face brimming with pride and wild arrogance.

"Brother Li was right, Feng Chaonan, your treacherous heart has finally revealed its true face..." A muffled voice came from under the dirt by his feet.

"Brother Li? Li Renjie? Ha ha," Feng Chaonan chuckled at the mention of the name, "I had almost forgotten. Do you know how the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice died? He was also killed by my Azure Dragon Association."

"Not just Li Renjie, but your old mother too. You came here for her, right? Unfortunately, she’s long been dead. When she heard she was to be used to threaten her son, she simply smashed her own head and died."

Feng Chaonan’s laughter grew even more proud and unrestrained.

Ever since he joined the Azure Dragon Association, he killed whomever he desired. The hints left by Qing Yu, combined with the thrill from his unbridled actions, had completely exposed Feng Chaonan’s tyrannical nature, easily resorting to killing.

Hearing Feng Chaonan’s words, Jing Zheng, who had been struggling, suddenly went still, as if all hope had been lost.

"Oh? Given up so fast?" Feng Chaonan once more rolled his foot, "And you dared to cling to me like a mad dog?"

"I want you dead!"

Killing intent suddenly surged; after a brief calm, Jing Zheng erupted with a powerful aura, attacking furiously.

"Divine Origin Realm?" A reckless smile still graced Feng Chaonan’s face.

This Jing Zheng, who outwardly appeared to possess the cultivation of Innate Nine Layers, had somehow advanced to the Divine Origin Realm without anyone knowing.

Though he was in the early stages of the Divine Origin Realm, a surprise attack was certainly enough to contend with Feng Chaonan, who was of the Innate Realm.

The many recent assassinations had led to increasing suspicion towards Feng Chaonan.

Jing Zheng had confirmed before coming here that Feng Chaonan was the Dragon Head Young Master Yu of the Azure Dragon Association, so he came alone to this place, taking the risk to seize the opportunity to kill this calamitous prince.

Yes, his plan should have succeeded.

If Feng Chaonan had remained the same as before.

The foot that had been previously lifted, pressed down once again. Feng Chaonan’s foot was like a mountain, smashing Jing Zheng down into the ground harshly.

"Who did you want to die!"
