Night Breeze's words gave Lin Feifei a sense of enlightenment, like the clouds parting to reveal the clear sky.

Cheng Fengrui's death troubled Lin Feifei for a long time. Lin Feifei herself had also considered this issue, but her thoughts were not as thorough or comprehensive as Ye Feng's.

After listening to Ye Feng's analysis, Lin Feifei finally understood why her husband's new policies failed and why he even died a violent death!

But Lin Feifei immediately asked, "Then, Lord Luo, aren't you worried? Your series of measures in Xinluo City are quite similar to the new policies implemented by my husband, and in many aspects they are even better. Aren't you worried that your position as lord of the city is not secure?"

Night Breeze laughed, shook her head, and said, "That's the biggest difference between me and your husband."

"Please tell me in detail, Lord Luo. I'm very curious," Lin Feifei said, gesturing for him to speak.

Ye Feng then continued, "As you know, our Luo family's Luo Yun City was destroyed by the attack of the Crimson Tail Beast, and of the more than 100,000 people, only a little over 1,000 survived."

"Therefore, I led these more than a thousand people to explore territory in the Death Mountains and build the new city of Silla, which is equivalent to starting from scratch."

"Therefore, I naturally have this advantage - I don't need to worry about the powerful and wealthy, because my Silla City has never had any powerful and wealthy people from the beginning. The officials of Silla City are only me, my two descendants, and a handful of other people."

"They are unlikely to oppose me, and there are no wealthy merchants in Silla City, so my new policies will not have any drawbacks in this regard."

After a pause, Ye Feng continued, "Most importantly, I possess formidable strength. I am a peak Saint Realm expert. Not to mention Sinlo City, even in the entire Hongtian Empire, there are very few people qualified to oppose me."

"If that's the case, then what do I have to worry about?"

Night Breeze stopped there.

Lin Feifei sighed and said, "Xinluo City does have an advantage in this regard, and City Lord Luo, you do indeed possess formidable strength. This is where my husband is inferior to you."

“Your husband was a talented man, and to be honest, I feel very sorry for his death,” Ye Feng said.

"Thanks."

Lin Feifei nodded and said.

After talking for so long, Ye Feng was getting sleepy, so he yawned, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, Lord Lin, let's stop here. We can continue our conversation tomorrow."

Having said that, Ye Feng prepared to leave.

But at that moment, a cold glint suddenly flashed in Ye Feng's eyes.

Almost simultaneously, a dark figure shattered the windowpane, darted into the study, and rushed straight towards the night breeze!

The man in black also had a short sword that shimmered with purple light in his hand, and it was obvious at a glance that the short sword was poisoned!

"Lord Luo, be careful!"

Lin Feifei was shocked and quickly spoke up to warn her.

But Ye Feng didn't take this suddenly appearing assassin seriously at all.

Night Wind had already spotted the assassin before he made his move, and the instant he attacked, Night Wind was able to determine his martial arts level.

Peak of True Essence Realm!

Even a peak True Essence Realm martial artist is considered a formidable martial arts master in the Hongtian Empire, but he is utterly no match for Ye Feng.

Ye Feng raised his left hand, and a shield of true energy immediately opened, protecting not only himself but also Lin Feifei, the female city lord.

A clanging sound immediately rang out.

The assassin in black repeatedly stabbed the qi shield with his short sword, but he couldn't break through its defenses.

"Ghostly Flash!"

The assassin in black let out a roar, his figure became blurry, and his speed suddenly increased.

The next moment, the purple short sword stabbed out hundreds of times in the blink of an eye!

If it were a Divine Realm martial artist's true qi shield, it would probably have been pierced by the black-clad assassin's martial skill.

But the night breeze is not a realm of divine wandering.

The strength he is currently displaying is at the peak of the Saint Realm!

Therefore, the black-clad assassin's martial arts skills had no effect whatsoever, and the true energy shield in front of Ye Feng remained intact.

"Is that all the strength you have?"

"I'm disappointed," Ye Feng said, then raised his hand and pointed.

Void Primordial Divine Finger - Trapping Divine Finger!

Suddenly, a large cluster of emerald green vines appeared out of thin air, instantly binding the black-clad assassin's body tightly. Moreover, the thorny vines burrowed into the assassin's body like venomous snakes, drawing out his true energy and blood!

In just a moment, the assassin became emaciated, weak, and unable to move.

"Tell me, who sent you to assassinate me?" Ye Feng asked unhurriedly.

"I...I won't tell you..."

The assassin in black said in pain, and then a burst of raging flames erupted from his body.

The flames did not originate from the black-clad assassin's skin, but rather burned from within his body.

High-temperature flames even shot out from the black-clad assassin's mouth, nostrils, and ears, making a whooshing sound. The temperature in the study instantly rose by more than ten degrees, and a strong burnt smell filled the air!

The flames appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly.

As the flames died down, the black-clad assassin's body was mostly charred and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The night breeze frowned slightly, but the frown quickly relaxed.

Noisy footsteps echoed in the corridor outside, and a guard rushed in the next moment—it was Lin Feifei's butler and bodyguard, Qian Feng.

"Madam, are you alright?" Qian Feng asked as soon as he arrived.

"I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright," Lin Feifei said, taking a deep breath.

More footsteps approached, and this time it was none other than Rowling and Zijing running over.

Moreover, although Rowling's realm was higher than Zijing's, Zijing was faster than Rowling and arrived at the study before Rowling.

"Wow, what's going on here!"

Zijing screamed as she looked at the corpse on the floor.

Night Wind replied, "This assassin suddenly tried to kill me, but he was only a peak True Essence Realm martial artist, and he couldn't do anything to me."

"So you killed him? Why didn't you leave him alive!" Zijing exclaimed.

“I didn’t kill him; he committed suicide,” Ye Feng said.

Rowling glanced at Lin Feifei, whose face had turned slightly pale, and her brows furrowed tightly.

Noisy footsteps could be heard outside again, accompanied by the clanging of metal against metal. It was clear that the other guards in the city lord's mansion were rushing here.

Lin Feifei immediately said to Qian Feng, "Go and tell those guards to leave. We don't need them here."

"Yes, madam."

Qian Feng immediately complied and dispersed the city lord's guards who had rushed over.
