“If we can confirm the target this time and you’re in charge of the operation, I won’t be able to support you secretly. I want to make it clear beforehand that if anything goes wrong, I won’t take the blame,” said He Bibiqu, his expression somewhat pained.

“I understand. If you were to fall into disfavor for this, then Tiannan’s rainbow would be finished. That’s why we can’t implicate you in any way,” he replied.

He Bibiqu said gravely, “Be careful not to wrong the innocent.”

“As long as you give the permission, we can act any time.”

“The impact will be significant.”

“I understand that. But first, it’s a matter of national vengeance and second, it’s personal vendetta. Great Qin must not be infiltrated; our brothers cannot die in vain!”

“But this could also be a trap!” He Bibigu’s heart fluttered as he retorted through gritted teeth.

“What do you mean?”

“I’ve been investigating the whereabouts of Physician Feng with the Three Stars for the past few days.”

He Bibiqu remarked aloofly, “there are many puzzling signs within the city, and the Green Clothes Division’s pursuit of a Yan State’s spy is proceeding too smoothly.”

“Even though Mister Feng didn’t find anything, he did discover that something isn’t right. There’s a silent undercurrent, and your considerations, I too am investigating them. But there’s no lead, only vague indications towards the military.”

He Bibiqu is somewhat worried.

“In that case, there’s no reason to wait.”

“…Hmm, well then. You should be extremely careful,” He Bibiqu furrowed his brows for quite a while and finally sighed.

“Thank you for your concern, sir.”

Wu Tiejun felt a wave of relief throughout his body. He bowed and turned to leave.

As he walked, his footsteps unconsciously became strong and resolute.

Watching Wu Tiejun leave, He Bibiqu’s eyes remained deep and somber, and after a long moment, he sighed.

“Those two blockheads!”

Wu Tiejun walked swiftly towards his team.

He was very clear in his heart.

Although the old man said he can’t take the blame and can’t support him, it means he too suspects the same target he suspects.

Therefore, he must personally control this game from the background to prevent a real major change from happening.

…
That night.

Clad in black and masked, Feng Yin silently emerged like a wisp of blue smoke, and quietly scaled his own Iron Heart Tree.

Running his internal force and storing strength.

A branch of the Iron Heart Tree bent slightly, and then, just as Feng Yin was about to leap, it sprung back violently.

In an instant, the figure of Feng Yin, like a shooting star, had vanished into the vast night sky.

He was slingshot by the Iron Heart Tree.

Compared to his own leap, it propelled him more than twice the distance and increased his speed by more than double.

Until now, there are four missions that match with the Heavenly Judgment, and Feng Yin has selected two of them.

Because the Rainbow Heavenly Clothes must act tonight, and there are likely to be injuries and deaths in this operation.

This was the information he gleaned from the conversation between Fei Xinyu and Wu Tiejun.

Feng Yin was uneasy.

He never thought he would be like this, knowing that rash actions would expose his tracks, yet he still couldn’t control himself.

But he just didn’t want to see that group of hot-blooded men fall into a pool of blood in the process of seeking vengeance for him.

After taking down two targets in succession, it was already the Hour of the Mouse at midnight.

Feng Yin, like a dark cloud, silently hid himself atop a towering tree.

The dense foliage completely concealed him.

The moonlight was a bit dim tonight, with large clouds drifting across it constantly.

At times the moonlight was chilly, at times it disappeared, at times it was barely there, and at times it suddenly shone brightly.

As if hinting that tonight, this world would not be calm.

Inside the Green Clothes Division in Yuezhou.

A low-toned command sounded.

“Tonight, we avenge Mister Feng!”

Followed by a uniformly low, almost inaudible response of, “Revenge!”

“Set out!”

Wu Tiejun, leading sixty men, quickly left. After exiting, the group promptly divided into three teams, with two teams soaring into the air and splitting to the left and right under the moonlight, disappearing into the night sky like large birds.

The middle team moved forward on the ground – like a sharp long knife, they advanced straight towards a certain direction in the city!

A few breaths after Wu Tiejun’s team left, another group of sixty men gathered. The voice of Fei Xinyu said, “I’ll say only once, if anyone drags us down, don’t blame us all for cursing his ancestors!”

“Curse his ancestors!” Sixty men responded in unison, their chests out.

“Set out! Damn them!”

Unlike Wu Tiejun’s team, Fei Xinyu’s team did not split and went together in one direction and plunged into the night.

Inside the city.

A rather spacious courtyard, full of fine pavilions, training grounds, and rows of barracks-like houses neatly arranged. There were also gardens and ponds – it had everything.

It indicated that the owner must be a man of considerable power.

The man in question was the father-in-law of Wang Sanyuan, the military commander of Yuezhou City.

Wang Sanyuan was once an ordinary officer who climbed up the ranks through experience and merit, but with the financial support of his father-in-law after their families united through marriage, Wang Sanyuan had quickly ascended to his current position in just a few years.

A military commander in Yuezhou City was almost like a local emperor.

With an army of 30,000 at his disposal, Wang Sanyuan had the final say in all military matters, big or small.

Even the city’s administrative office couldn’t directly command his troops.

After all, the military and political systems were completely separate entities.

People like Wu Tiejun, upon discovering that Black Feather of Feiyi Hall was bound to take action, were quick to deduce one thing: with action comes top-notch masters, and definitely more than one!

If they couldn’t find them, it meant that a protective umbrella was in place, protecting and concealing them.

In reverse conclusion, the power behind this protective umbrella was certainly not weak, with great influence and more likely with a military background.

Wang Sanyuan’s father-in-law was known as Qian Wanjing.

As the saying goes, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names. But Wang’s father-in-law’s name was not wrong at all. He was indeed a wealthy man with a weight close to a thousand catties.

One thousand.

Over five hundred kilograms.

His towering figure was intimidating, standing two meters tall, coupled with his weight of five hundred kilograms, he was a veritable mountain of meat.

This father-in-law of Wang, was currently hosting a grand feast at his home.

All the guests were close friends, all the city’s high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, and aristocrats.

Everyone knew that Qian Wanjing was benevolent and generous, always willing to lend a hand to someone in need without hesitation, attracting friends to his city like an unending flow.

Any wandering martial artist who fell on hard times, as soon as they asked, Qian Wanjing would not refuse, but lend a helping hand; if anyone came to him in the city, whether they were down and out, short of funds, or had a broken financial supply chain, or their supplier had problems, or they suddenly ran into an emergency and were short of money…
Qian Wanjing would lend a helping hand, not just for show, but to help them recover.

So in Yuezhou City, Qian Wanjing’s prestige was high, unimaginably high.

He had truly reached a point where he saw ‘all men as brothers, and had friends from all over the world; his banquet was always full and his wine was never scarce’!

In order to serve his many friends as best as he could, there were more than thirty chefs in Qian Wanjing’s manor alone.

That was many more than the biggest restaurant in Yuezhou City.

At this moment, there were fifteen feast tables laid out in the banquet hall of the mansion.

Almost all the influential figures in Yuezhou City were gathered here.

And they basically had been here for the past few days.

Because Qian Wanjing was celebrating his birthday; for half a month, he had been throwing grand feasts.

The fragrant aroma of food and wine reached even the tops of the trees seventy to eighty meters outside the yard, making Feng Yin’s mouth water.

“It’s nice to be rich!”

Feng Yin sighed deeply.

Whether in this world or any other, the power of money was always the most efficient and powerful tool. Money could command demons or communicate with the gods. Was it just a saying?

In the big tree where Feng Yin was stationed, about thirty meters high on a tree branch, there was an observation post, where three martial artists from Qian Wanjing’s household were vigilantly watching their surroundings.

They had been careful enough.

But they hadn’t been able to detect when Feng Yin had climbed up onto the thick branches overhead.

Feng Yin was at the top of the tree, hiding amongst the branches and swaying in the wind, unnoticed, about forty meters above the lookout post below.

By this point, he had got a rough idea of the layout of the Qian family’s compound.

The whole layout of the Qian family’s mansion was like a 3D model in his mind, even the distribution of guards, the schedule of shifts, even the faces and body types of each team leader, were all clearly depicted in Feng Yin’s mind.

He hadn’t been able to see what kind of people were inside the rooms that seemed to be military dormitories in the backyard.

And the large warehouse in the southwest, he didn’t know what was in it either. Besides those two, there wasn’t much else he hadn’t noticed.

But now, what he was most concerned about was precisely these two places. The unknown was most likely to cause accidents and create variables.

Now, he was slowly descending.

This guard post below, both for his own sake and for the sake of Wu Tiejun’s Green Clothes Division, had to be taken care of.

In Feng Yin’s view, the plans that Wu Tiejun and Fei Xinyu had made were indeed too risky.

There were things that were not about fairness, and there were people you couldn’t catch just because you had evidence against them.

He had descended about thirty meters.

Like a large lizard, his body was pressed against the shadowed side of a thick branch, staying still.

This distance was the perfect one for making a move.

With one leap, Feng Yin was confident he could bring down all three guards at once, without a sound.

But he still needed the right opportunity.

In his hand, he had already gripped a small stone, quietly waiting for the perfect moment to arise.

A moment later, a whistling sound arose. The team of twenty led by Wu Tiejun was marching towards the front gate. More than a hundred meters away, under the shadow of the midnight, they seemed like spectral warriors marching through a dense fog, ghostly and elusive.

The three men in the tree felt something and turned their heads to look simultaneously.

At the same time, Feng Yin appeared silently behind them, his hands swift as the wind, landing three strikes on their necks, obstructing their circulation and causing them to faint. Feng Yin twisted his hand, gave a gentle push, and the three bodies collapsed softly. He quickly caught them one by one and silently placed them in a corner in a pile.

No one was any the wiser.
