Chapter 467: Chapter 279: Making Up One’s Mind

"Who do you think you’re trying to ask?"

Feng Chaonan’s face wore a ferocious smile as Infinite True Qi pressed down, abruptly cutting off Jing Zheng’s violent attempt to rise.

"How is this possible?!"

Jing Zheng incredulously pressed his hands hard against the ground, striving to rise again.

But it was futile.

’Why is his True Qi so vast?’ Jing Zheng couldn’t believe his own thoughts.

This time, Jing Zheng had come prepared for failure.

Maybe Gong Ziyu was not Feng Chaonan, maybe Feng Chaonan had not shown up in person, maybe being discovered while taking action would result in failure and death...

Many maybes, but among them, there was no maybe where Feng Chaonan exceeded his strength and counter-killed him.

"With your insight, how could you recognize Gong Ziyu’s Divine Skill!" Feng Chaonan sneered.

After becoming Gong Ziyu, naturally, Feng Chaonan could learn all the Martial Arts of the Azure Dragon Association’s assassin society. Among these, Feng Chaonan was not interested in other Martial Arts but one called ’Absorption Technique,’ which generated a great sense of anticipation in him.

Previously, on that mountain path, the "Gong Ziyu," whose True Qi was as vast as the ocean, had been witnessed by Feng Chaonan from the shadows.

At that moment, Feng Chaonan was extremely curious about why Gong Ziyu possessed such an amount of True Qi.

After all, his uncle Si Haofeng had said that with half the True Qi of "Gong Ziyu," one could be invincible in the Innate Realm and surpass those in the early and middle stages of Divine Origin.

So, after obtaining the ’Absorption Technique,’ Feng Chaonan had only one thought, to practice.

The ’Absorption Technique’ must be practiced.

Feng Chaonan had self-awareness; he was not like those with exceptional talent in Martial Arts who could break through to Divine Origin in their twenties.

With his talent, breaking through to Divine Origin would take at least until after he turned thirty.

Feng Chaonan was only twenty-four now, and breaking through to Divine Origin would take him at least another six years.

He couldn’t wait that long.

Moreover, Qing Yu had left behind the ’Absorption Technique’ specifically for Feng Chaonan to practice, so there was no mention of the Technique’s flaws in the secret manual left behind.

Without flaws and the ability to gain the strength of the Divine Origin Realm in advance, Feng Chaonan couldn’t wish for anything more.

"Let your True Qi help this Dragon Chief advance further," Feng Chaonan said with a sinister smile, grabbing Jing Zheng’s head. His palm acted like a black hole, continuously devouring Jing Zheng’s True Qi.

Jing Zheng’s body visibly shriveled at a visible speed, and although only a bit of the powerful Divine Origin was absorbed, both his Essence and Qi were rapidly sucked away.

The ’Absorption Technique’ was an extremely domineering Martial Art. If the practitioner’s Realm was sufficient, it could suck away an opponent’s spirit, energy, and mind in their entirety, akin to a martial artist version of the ’Swallowing Heaven Demon Skill.’ It truly was the best Divine Skill for rapid accumulation.

Had it not been necessary to aid the digestion with the ’Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill,’ making it difficult to thoroughly digest the absorbed power, Qing Yu would definitely have chosen to practice this Martial Art.

Since obtaining the ’Absorption Technique,’ Feng Chaonan had non-stop absorbed power. Thanks to the world’s Level and his identity, he accumulated far more power than Zhu Wushi in a short time.

Thanks to this, his strength was now fitting for his identity.

"Feng Chaonan, you will not die a good death, I’ll be waiting for you!" Jing Zheng’s mouth opened and closed, dryly uttering these words.

"This Dragon Chief will send you to reunite with your dear mother first."

Suddenly exerting force, Feng Chaonan didn’t worry about the power yet to be completely absorbed; he crushed Jing Zheng’s head deep with a palm exuding True Strength.

At this point, Feng Chaonan still harbored resentment and struck Jing Zheng’s corpse into pieces with a single palm.

"You’re courting death."

Beside him, the Pharmacist quietly lowered his head, a faint shiver in his eyes.

Feng Chaonan was growing more and more deranged, and even the Pharmacist, who knew that the other party would inevitably die sooner or later, was starting to fear his madness.

After all, one could not expect a lunatic to be rational, and although he flattered himself that Feng Chaonan had great trust in him, that was no guarantee against a sudden outburst of madness that could result in a slap.

The Pharmacist asked himself if his small frame could withstand it, certainly not as robust as Jing Zheng, the Martial Artist of the Divine Origin Realm.

’Sigh, I hope this undercover operation ends soon.’

The Pharmacist suddenly remembered the days when he had been a young master wastrel. Although he had been foolish back then, at least he had been carefree.

"Your Highness, the Ministry of Justice and Zheng Jingzheng have sent a letter to you," said Tao Qiucui as she entered Feng Qiwu’s chamber, addressing the seemingly distracted Feng Qiwu.

"Ah?! Oh, Aunt Tao..." Feng Qiwu suddenly snapped back to reality.

These days, Feng Qiwu felt that something had come between him and Miss Si, the daughter he adored from the Si Family, not as close as before.

This caused Feng Qiwu, who was inexperienced in matters of the heart, much distress. Whenever he had free time, he would sit and daydream, wondering why.

"Your Highness, the letter." Tao Qiucui shook her head slightly and handed over a letter.

"Aunt Tao, I’ve said it before, you don’t need to be so formal with me," said Feng Qiwu as he opened the envelope.

Tao Qiucui was a True Pill Realm Royal Tributor sent to protect Feng Qiwu, but before her role as a protector, she was also the Empress’s close friend. Therefore, Feng Qiwu had always addressed her as an aunt.

"Etiquette is necessary," Tao Qiucui insisted.

"Etiquette is etiquette, but in private, there’s no need to be so rigid. Although I am a student of the Confucian School, I won’t always be so petty..." Feng Qiwu’s voice trailed off to a whisper.

"Your Highness?"

"Sixth Prince, he... is Gong Ziyu? How is that possible..." Feng Qiwu gripped the letter in his hands, trembling slightly as he spoke.

Despite the rumors that it was Feng Chaonan who had ordered the death of the Eldest Prince, Feng Qiwu had always been unwilling to believe such an unsubstantiated claim.

But today, Jing Zheng had sent a letter, a suicide note, claiming that Feng Chaonan was Gong Ziyu.

This affirmation in death shook Feng Qiwu’s heart.

Unlike Feng Qiwu, Tao Qiucui, who had quietly drawn closer and glimpsed the contents of the letter, was enlightened.

She knew this was an opportunity, a chance to bring down Feng Chaonan.

The court had already been suspicious of the relationship between Feng Chaonan and the Azure Dragon Association, and the Azure Dragon Association had been incessantly attempting to assassinate Feng Chaonan’s political adversaries. Now, with this letter, even if it could not bring down Feng Chaonan, it would severely weaken him and completely eliminate his chance to compete for the throne.

With Feng Chaonan, the troublemaker, out of the picture, Feng Jiu would no longer be a threat.

"Your Highness, this is a golden opportunity!" said Tao Qiucui.

"It is an opportunity, but it’s not the opportunity I wanted..." Feng Qiwu replied bitterly.

As the sole herbivore among all the princes, Feng Qiwu had his own aspirations for the throne, but he did not wish for it to come down to fratricide with only one surviving to ascend to the throne.

However, the current situation no longer allowed him the luxury of being softhearted. If he ignored this letter, who knew what his maniacal Sixth Prince brother might do.

"Aunt Tao, let’s go to the Empress together to discuss this," Feng Qiwu resolved.
