Chapter 485: Chapter 297 Gong Ziyu Died Again

Atop the Lingyan Tower in Divine Capital, Qing Yu had a commanding view, encompassing most of the city’s landscape, even parts of the buildings within the Imperial City could be seen.

Choosing this place as a temporary observation point, Feng Chaonan’s intelligence hadn’t been lowered to the very bottom by Qing Yu.

Unfortunately, the first piece of news Feng Chaonan heard after arriving was far from good.

"Trash, nothing but trash!"

In a flash, Feng Chaonan grabbed a subordinate who came to report, activated the Absorption Technique, and quickly turned him into a dried-up corpse.

"Can’t even kill a person properly, what use are you?"

Feng Chaonan threw the body onto the ground, and the True Qi he had just absorbed wasn’t fully assimilated yet, unintentionally leaking out, making the corpse hit the ground and shatter to pieces.

"Your Highness, six of all the princes have already died, and together with the earlier assassinated Eldest Prince, there are only five left to kill. Our achievements are more than half complete. There is no need for Your Highness to be irritated," the Pharmacist said cautiously with a forced smile.

"They’re all fellows without any hope of ascending the throne, talk of achievements being more than half-complete..."

All of a sudden, a bolt of lightning seemed to flash through Feng Chaonan’s mind, and the irritation in his heart momentarily eased.

"Why do I need to kill them specifically?"

This question appeared in Feng Chaonan’s mind, bringing forth doubts like a sudden storm.

"What am I thinking?" Feng Chaonan shook his head violently, stumbled backwards two steps, and grabbed onto the railing of Lingyan Tower, "My head, I..."

"Ahhh..."

Feng Chaonan kneeled, clutching his head and wailed in agony.

"Your Highness!" The Pharmacist shouted with concern.

However, his steps were unconsciously retreating.

’It’s over, it’s over, the Dragon Chief’s control is failing!’ the Pharmacist wailed internally.

This situation meant that Feng Chaonan, who had been led by the nose, was about to awaken, and upon returning to his senses and remembering everything, his first action might very well be to reduce the Pharmacist, this betrayer, to ashes.

’Should I take his life now?’ The thought suddenly crossed the Pharmacist’s mind.

However, seeing the robust True Qi unwittingly erupting from Feng Chaonan, the Pharmacist silently discarded the thought.

Feng Chaonan had acquired the Absorption Technique some months ago, and during that time, he had constantly been absorbing Power to increase his strength. Now, even the inadvertently released Protective True Qi from Feng Chaonan was enough to frustrate the Pharmacist.

"No need to worry."

A hand suddenly landed on the Pharmacist’s shoulder, and Qing Yu, along with Feng Jiu, appeared unexpectedly at the top of Lingyan Tower.

"I deliberately let go of control," Qing Yu smiled and said, "After all, he is an old acquaintance of Feng Jiu, it would be better to let him die with some understanding."

At this moment, the wailing ceased, and in the bowed head of Feng Chaonan shone a bone-deep hatred.

"Sixth Prince, now that you have awakened, why stay silent?" Feng Jiu said with a smile.

"Heh, in your eyes, I, this Sixth Prince, am but a mere buffoon, what is there to say?"

In the hoarse voice, there was bitterness, despair, sarcasm, or even a state of decadence like his current appearance, unknown to outsiders.

But Qing Yu could see clearly, in Feng Chaonan’s heart there was only hatred. He hadn’t given up on vengeance, his seemingly despondent posture was nothing more than a tactic to bewilder his enemies.

Once back to normal, Feng Chaonan was no longer prone to inexplicable fits of madness, as before. He could contain himself, hide his sharp fangs, and knew what he had to do, instead of being unreasonably furious.

"Ninth brother, could you possibly spare your brother’s life?" Feng Chaonan pleaded in a subdued voice.

Feng Jiu stepped forward, arriving in front of Feng Chaonan and looking down at this figure that once stood high above him, his eyes filled with a mix of ridicule and jest, "If the Sixth Prince hadn’t begged for his life, this younger brother might have spared you, but your plea indicates that your heart still clings to life. Under such circumstances, what do you expect me to do?"

"Ninth brother..."

Feng Chaonan’s head lowered even further, as if to fully submit to Feng Jiu, his voice choked with emotion.

"Die!"

Suddenly, he raised his head, his palms gathering all his True Qi, and fiercely imprinted them towards Feng Jiu’s lower abdomen.

His eyes brimmed with arrogance, hatred, and pleasure.

With his True Qi, which exceeded that of an ordinary Divine Origin Realm practitioner by more than three times, even if Feng Jiu was at the Divine Origin Realm, she would not be able to withstand this sneak attack—Feng Jiu was undoubtedly doomed.

It seemed as though Feng Chaonan had already envisioned the delightful scene of this successful revenge.

But a pair of hands shattered this illusion.

"Sixth Prince, I knew you were up to no good."

The Heavenly Repair Tribulation Hand moved deftly and slowly, akin to the most exquisite application of Power Leaning, causing Feng Chaonan’s palms to collide, redirecting the Qi Force to injure himself rather than his enemy.

Then, like a phoenix awakening, a fierce blaze erupted from Feng Jiu’s body. Her True Qi transformed into the noble ruler of all birds, accompanied by the genuine cry of the phoenix, and directly blasted Feng Chaonan dozens of feet away.

Phoenix Sky Strategy·Feng Yan’s Fury.

"Bang—"

The railings of the Lingyan Tower burst open, and Feng Chaonan was thrown into mid-air.

"Feng Jiu!" A furious shout echoed in the surroundings, and while Feng Chaonan was mid-air, he extended his palm, producing a mighty suction force, trying to pull himself back into the tower.

Feng Jiu shook her head, stepped forward, and the rolling Flame Power gathered at her fingertips, morphing into the shape of a phoenix’s beak, and shot out.

"Crack—"

The phoenix’s cry resounded once more. The form of the phoenix drew back its wings into a shuttle shape, piercing through Feng Chaonan’s chest, searing a charred, black hole on his left chest. Feng Chaonan’s heart was incinerated into nothingness by the Flame Power.

"Feng······"

The last word was never spoken by Feng Chaonan; his body plummeted rapidly, and in an instant, a thunderous noise erupted from below.

The Pharmacist stepped forward, peeking cautiously through the broken railings, to see that below, a sizeable crowd, deliberately drawn there, was now bustling and discussing the corpse with the bronze mask that had fallen from the sky.

"Your Highness, if Feng Chaonan had not sought a way out, would you have spared his life?" The Pharmacist asked curiously.

The response was an enigmatic smile, "Guess!"

"Ah haha," the Pharmacist said no more.

The situation seemed easy to guess, yet he dared not voice it.

"That old monster has actually left the palace." Qing Yu suddenly said.

In the sky above, a trail of transparent frost stretched from the Imperial Palace, and a ghostly shadow was rapidly flying towards them.

"Let’s go."

Qing Yu immediately grabbed the shoulders of Feng Jiu and the Pharmacist. The Nihility Magic Mirror materialized, masking their tracks, erasing any traces, and the three of them vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, at the base of the Lingyan Tower, someone finally gathered the courage to lift the bronze mask from the corpse.

"The Sixth Prince, it’s the Sixth Prince!"

"This bronze mask, could it be that the Sixth Prince was truly Gong Ziyu?!"

"From the Sixth Prince’s final outcry, it was the Ninth Prince who killed him!"

"The Ninth Prince killed Gong Ziyu!!"

······

In an instant, the onlooking crowd exploded in shock, their voices a tumultuous blend of speculation and rumor.

The Sixth Prince was Gong Ziyu, and he had been slain by the Ninth Prince.

This news stunned everyone present.
