Chapter 492: Chapter 304: The Taste of Revenge
First, Luo Yan was killed, then Lu Qifeng was defeated.
Now, this former supervisor, the "Chasing Wind Divine Constable" who had held Qing Yu in his grasp for so long, was fleeing like a dog.
The taste of revenge, unknown to others, was but a bore to Qing Yu.
This was not due to Qing Yu’s indifference, but rather because the sight of Lu Shenbu’s disgraceful flight failed to spark any interest.
A seemingly normal person with the usual range of emotions had turned out to be even more heartless than Qing Yu.
The death of his disciple grieved him, but it wasn’t enough to drive him mad, instead, the revelation of Qing Yu’s identity brought a sliver of joy to his heart.
As long as he could escape with his life, he would have won.
This was what Lu Qifeng thought.
Learning that Qing Yu was the mysterious True Pill Realm mastermind behind the attack filled Lu Qifeng with endless dread and regret, making him eager to convey the news to the Six Gates.
"Perhaps the day that I obliterate the Six Gates and utterly eradicate the faith in your heart, only then will you feel despair. Too bad, I won’t let you live to see that day."
Right hand grasping at the void, suddenly a sword guard with two golden dragons intertwined appeared, its blade shimmering with white light, he took a step forward into a bow stance, upper body erect, leaning back.
With the Lingshuang Sword in his extended left arm parallel to the ground, its tip directly aimed at the fleeing figure, Qing Yu operated his Emperor’s Qi Observation Technique, his eyes fixed on the target.
Position, timing, power, speed, and the sword technique—all factors were calculated.
At the same time, the True Qi within his body abruptly turned into pure Sword Qi, both Visible and Invisible Meridians pushing to the extreme.
One Sword Separates Life.
Brilliant radiance, gone in a flash.
As if nothing had ever happened, the surroundings remained a scene of ruin, as if a natural disaster had passed. And in the distance, the figure was still scrambling away.
Then, in an instant, Lu Qifeng halted, his body from top to bottom showing a splendidly glowing sword mark.
"Too bad, I can’t pass the message on to the Divine Captors..."
With this fleeting thought in his mind, the Sword Qi violently erupted.
"Pfft—"
Like two adhered objects finally separating, Lu Qifeng’s body neatly split in two, both halves falling to the sides.
Such violent Sword Qi was embodied with surprisingly little fanfare, only the blood that struggled to flow from the two halves of the body confirmed the power of the Sword Qi.
At this time, Qing Yu finally revealed a smile. Though masked, his squinting eyes showed his mirth.
"Your regret and despair, I have received..."
In the end, just before death, Lu Qifeng’s sense of impending doom completely stripped him of all hope; his regret and despair were profoundly rich, bringing great satisfaction to Qing Yu.
The pain and despair of an enemy were the greatest pleasures of revenge; without this flavor, the joy that comes from successful vengeance would be cut by at least ninety percent.
"Host has eliminated the enemy, slaying the Daqian Six Gates Chasing Wind Divine Constable. From now on, all the miscreants within the entire Daqian will thank you. Awarding four thousand Villain Points," announced the system’s sudden prompt.
"Oh, killing a Divine Constable rewards four thousand points? But when I killed Meng Wuchang last time, there was no such reward," Qingyu said in surprise.
It was not only when he killed Meng Wuchang did he not receive points, but also when killing Qi Sibo and Tao Qiucui, indicating that this time’s reward was not granted simply because the opponent was in the True Pill Realm.
The reason Meng Wuchang’s death didn’t yield points must have been because he had already left his position.
Moreover, this Impermanence Divine Capture always hidden in the shadows truly couldn’t strike the same terror into the hearts of the so-called dissidents like Lu Qifeng did.
"Looking at it this way, what would happen if I were to kill all Four Great Divine Capturers in the future?" Qingyu thought to himself.
With this four thousand points, added to the previous leftovers, and the Villain Points he had been slowly accumulating by selling Longevity Powder antidotes, Qingyu now had eight thousand five hundred Villain Points.
Just another one thousand five hundred points and Qingyu could take a shot at the high-level lottery.
This was good news.
"Delightful!"
Laughter filled the air as fierce fire spread from Qingyu’s feet, enveloping the ruins, bloodstains, corpses, and the body that had been bisected and sealed by the Sword Qi, completely shrouded in flames.
"Shadow King should thank me; there’s now another position open among the Four Great Divine Capturers."
The fire continued to spread, and soon, to the remaining survivors, that devil-like figure was completely engulfed by the flames, disappearing without a trace.

In the secret courtyard at the foot of Datong Mountain within Northern Zhou Divine Capital, Feng Jiu sipped tea peacefully while listening to the Pharmacist’s report.
"With the help of Shadow Pavilion, Blood Robe Building has already taken over all business from the Azure Dragon Association and has begun trading again.
As for the Longevity Powder antidote, subordinates have started arrangements, and it’s already being sold discreetly in various places, but to sell it widely, we still need to wait for your enthronement," the Pharmacist reported clearly.
"Mm," Feng Jiu nodded slightly.
The antidote for Longevity Powder was too conspicuous, and in the current chaos, it was better not to draw too much attention.
"How are things in the Imperial Palace?"
"The Emperor has already appeared and formally announced taking over court affairs. According to spy reports, the Emperor’s complexion looks very good, as if he has already fully recovered, but compared to before, he looks extremely gaunt.
However, an inside source among the eunuchs has noticed a problem, that is, the Emperor only consumes Elixir and does not eat any food, and those memorials presented to him remain untouched," the Pharmacist replied.
"Hm?" Feng Jiu asked quickly, "What about all the princes?"
"The surviving Princes - the fourth Prince, the second Prince, the twelfth Prince, and the seventh Prince, after entering the Imperial Palace, have all vanished without a trace. And the eighth Prince has been staying in Yangxin Hall the whole time, reportedly to receive teachings in preparation for becoming the Crown Prince."
"Receiving teachings? Hmph, I think it’s the last bit of fatherly love. My father the Emperor probably wants to use this to alleviate the guilt in his heart," Feng Jiu sneered.
Nine Phoenixes Facing the Sun requires only nine people. According to Qingyu and Feng Jiu’s estimate, the beloved children of the Emperor, including the eighth Prince and the little Princess, should have been spared the sacrifice.
Those who would be sacrificed would be the less favored Princes, like Feng Jiu and Feng Chaonan.
Unfortunately, a chaotic slaughter two days ago left only six Princes alive, with one escaped. Now, all the Princes, including the favored little Princess, were to be sacrificed for their Emperor father.
"In addition, the Empress’s family, the Yi Family, has been constantly searching for Your Highness’s whereabouts. According to spies hidden within the Zhou Residence, General Yi Qianshan has secretly returned from the border with dozens of elite guards. They came for Your Highness," the Pharmacist continued to report.
"Yi Qianshan, this General who chopped down a hundred thousand Golden Wolf Han Court soldiers, though with covert assistance, is also a tough figure," Feng Jiu mused.
