The immortal sect is lofty, but the dynasty is collapsing. The court is treacherous, and the martial world is perilous. In these troubled times, human lives are no more valuable than grass.
C...
Tantai Hongye and Li Feitian left the room hand in hand.
There's no other reason than to give Zhou Shenpeng some time to calm down.
As soon as the two stepped out, Li Xiaoxiao began to sneakily peek inside.
She was curious about what had happened to make Uncle Shenpeng howl like a ghost.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"
Li Feitian reached out and placed his hand on Li Xiaoxiao's shoulder.
"Father, I want to go inside and take a look!"
"There's nothing to see!"
Li Feitian refused without even thinking.
The scene inside was too bloody.
He didn't want his precious daughter to see it, lest it leave her with psychological trauma.
Inside the room, Li Fan muttered, "Shenpeng, that's enough, stop howling like a banshee!"
Does it hurt that much?
"Hiss... Li Fan... you son of a bitch, you're still making sarcastic remarks!"
A third of my body is gone.
As Zhou Shenpeng became agitated, blood began to gush from all his wounds again.
Li Fan shrugged and didn't provoke Zhou Shenpeng any further.
Upon careful review, I realized that my treatment methods were indeed somewhat crude.
It seems that not everyone is as tough as me and Lao Chen!
A real man isn't afraid of pain at all.
"Woo-hoo!"
Xiao Bai let out a disgruntled shout.
Then it manipulated Yuehua again to cover Zhou Shenpeng's wound.
......
Fifteen minutes later, Zhou Shenpeng, his body wrapped in bandages, stepped out of the bronze cauldron.
"The person who attacked me this time must be from Tiandu."
His martial arts style is the same as that of Lan Tian, the head of the Dongxuan Division.
Although this person was also injured by Master Li, his injuries were not too serious.
He's very likely still in Tianhai City. Your arrival today might have already put him on his radar.
Be careful, don't let something unexpected happen!
Zhou Shenpeng gave instructions.
"Still in the city?"
Upon hearing Zhou Shenpeng's words, a hint of killing intent flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
He doesn't like being remembered.
Especially those martial artists stronger than him.
He looked at Zhou Shenpeng and continued, "Is there any way to find him? I want to try and see if I can kill him!"
"There is a solution, but it's not feasible!"
Zhou Shenpeng shook his head with a wry smile.
To lure that person out, only two people can be used as bait.
One was himself, and the other was Li Fan.
If they wanted him to take action, Li Feitian and Tantai Hongye could not be present.
And he himself clearly did not have the ability to kill that person.
Then there's only one option left: use Li Fan as bait and kill that person alone.
But Li Fan had already risked his life to save Yu Liaoyuan, the Supreme Elder of the Canghai Sect, so how could he possibly be a match for this Eastern Xuan Fashi Xiang?
"Tell me about it!"
"You are the bait, but there is no support."
"You are alone, kill that man!"
At this point, Zhou Shenpeng paused and continued, "A few days ago, news came from Tiandu."
When I succeeded as the King of Zhenhai, my second uncle bestowed upon you the title of Marquis of Champion.
But now, seven days have passed since the decree was issued, and the person who delivered it has yet to appear.
Therefore, I have reason to suspect that they are connected with the Dharma Image of the Eastern Xuan Division.
They are likely waiting for that person to make a move.
Kill me and you, and the decree is null and void.
If you can't kill him, then come and announce the imperial decree.
Therefore, if you are alone, it's not just Dong Xuan Si who might attack; the hidden Dharma Images might also reveal themselves.
"Give it a try!"
Li Fan did not refuse; this was a good opportunity to test the practical effects of his newly awakened superpower.
......
"Lord Chen, Li Fan has entered the city today."
Here at home, we can wait a maximum of two more days.
Two days later, our family must go to the city to deliver the imperial decree.
West of Tianhai City, on Xiaogushan Mountain, a bonfire drives away mosquitoes.
The speaker was fair-skinned and beardless, and wore a red robe.
He was the leader of this expedition, and the eunuch Liu Yuan was the one who delivered the imperial edict.
The entire team consisted of two Dharma Images, one of whom was him.
The other figure was a large man sitting in the distance with his eyes closed, seemingly resting.
The man's name was Tie Shengwu, and he was the newly appointed governor of Haizhou under the Zhenwu Commandery.
However, he remained detached from the group and completely ignored what Liu Yuan was saying.
Sitting opposite Liu Yuan, Chen Jihan had a somewhat gloomy expression.
In the battle of the imperial city, he lost to Meng Yunze by a single move.
At this point, their status underwent a dramatic change.
Meng Yunze became the high-ranking head of the Eastern Xuan Division.
He could only come to Haizhou City to assassinate Zhou Shenpeng out of frustration.
How could he possibly do this willingly?
He thought assassinating Zhou Shenpeng was a sure thing, but who would have thought that Li Feitian would protect him so closely.
If he hadn't seriously injured Zhou Shenpeng first, forcing Li Feitian to turn around and protect him, he probably would have died long ago.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and naturally he didn't want to go back and report in such a dejected manner.
Li Fan's arrival gave him hope of making a name for himself.
Whether Zhou Shenpeng lives or dies is completely irrelevant.
But Li Fan is different. Not only is he related to Chen Kui, but his martial arts talent is also monstrous.
If such a person doesn't die, he will surely become a major threat to His Majesty.
If we could kill him, that would be an immense achievement.
When he returns to Tiandu, he will surely be given an important position.
This is why he left the city immediately after seeing Li Fan.
"Two days may not be enough!"
We can wait a few more days.
Consider it a favor I owe you!
Chen Jihan forced a smile.
"Lord Chen, five days at most!"
After a moment of contemplation, Liu Yuan spoke.
"good!"
......
Time flows slowly by.
A horse slowly rode in from the west gate of Tianhai City.
A knight on horseback, his face hidden by a straw hat.
He held a knife in his hand and had another knife at his waist, which seemed somewhat superfluous.
......
"Three days, and you still can't sit still!"
In the west of the city, on Little Lonely Mountain, Chen Jihan smiled slightly upon receiving the news.
"Lord Chen, now that Li Fan has shown himself, I'll lend you a hand!"
"I'm setting off now to Tianhai City to deliver a decree: you must hold off Li Feitian and his men!"
"Rest assured, Lord Liu, if I kill Li Fan, you will certainly share in the credit!"
"You're too kind, Lord Chen!"
Liu Yuan's smile grew even brighter.
......
"An envoy from the capital has arrived! Go and inform him immediately!"
Less than a quarter of an hour after Li Fan left the city, a figure fell from the sky.
Before long, more than ten riders came galloping over.
Dust billowed on the road.
......
"Your subject Zhou Shenpeng pays respects to Your Majesty the Angel!"
At the He residence, Zhou Shenpeng was already waiting outside.
Upon seeing the visitor, he warmly welcomed him.
Since the messenger has arrived, it means they have no intention of helping that expert from the Eastern Xuan Division.
Brother Li's chances of winning have increased by one point.
It's safe!
"No, no, this servant is unworthy of Your Highness's grand gesture!"
Liu Yuan quickly stepped forward, his smile growing even brighter.
Li Feitian and Tantai Hongye were both there.
The ambush and killing of Li Fan is a sure thing!
