Chapter 118: Chapter 118: The Gathering Storm
“Leng Mucheng! Return to the Imperial Capital immediately, and order Huanyang and Chaos God to dispatch a hundred soldiers to Tianzhou!” Feng Wuchen commanded solemnly.
“I will adhere to the Grand Commander’s order!” Leng Mucheng responded respectfully.
“Dao Soul, you are responsible for overseeing every move of the Huangfu family and report to me at all times,” Feng Wuchen continued to order.
“I will adhere to the Grand Commander’s order!” Dao Po responded respectfully.
“Chi Huang! Go to Yunzhou immediately, order the strong from Xuantian Sect to come to Tianzhou, and all must be in disguise, causing no notice from any forces in Tianzhou! Especially the Huangfu family! Make sure they arrive at Unmatched City by tomorrow!” Feng Wuchen ordered, his eyes revealing an increasingly fierce and intense murderous aura.
“I will adhere to the Grand Commander’s order!” Chi Huang accepted the order.
...
Looking at Chi Huang, Feng Wuchen asked, “Chi Huang, does Huanyang know people from the Ministry of Punishments? As far as I am aware, death row inmates are all managed by the Ministry of Punishments.”
“Grand Commander, the death row inmates brought by Brother Huanyang are not ordinary ones, they are extremely fierce, all of Transformative Realm cultivation, and are not managed by the Ministry of Punishments, but by the Great General. To put it bluntly, they are under Brother Huanyang’s control, the Great General has never really managed them,” Chi Huang replied.
“I see,” Feng Wuchen nodded and smiled, “It seems Huanyang has quite the resources at his disposal. When you get back, tell Huanyang to select some death row inmates with decent talents to bring to Sky Pavilion.”
“Yes!” Chi Huang responded respectfully before he exited the great hall.
Watching Feng Wuchen give orders one after another in an orderly manner, Zhang Junlan gave a thumbs up and praised, “Indeed, he has the air of a regional overlord.”
Liu Qingyang whispered, “Is big brother Feng planning to eradicate the Huangfu family? Huangfu Zhantian says it has nothing to do with Tianyun Sect, but no one can be sure whether Tianyun Sect will intervene or not.”
Ling Xiaoxiao quietly chuckled and said, “Brother Feng needs time, he won’t make a move for now, but we can’t let down our guard against the Huangfu family.”
“Mm, indeed so,” Liu Qingyang nodded in agreement.
“Xue Feng, I will leave my big brother and second brother to you, from now on they will stay at Sky Pavilion,” Feng Wuchen said to Xue Feng.
“Yes, Grand Commander!” Xue Feng said respectfully.
“Third brother, do you plan for us to cultivate at Sky Pavilion?” Feng Yuan asked in amazement, looking at Feng Wuchen.
Feng Wuchen said gravely, “I will set up a Spirit Gathering Array in Sky Pavilion, and with the help of elixirs and Spiritual Liquid, it should assist you both in quickly improving your cultivation.”
“Big brother Feng, you can set up arrays?” Liu Qingyang asked in shock, with Xue Feng and others also stunned.
“Setting up the Spirit Gathering Array isn’t difficult,” Feng Wuchen nodded, then said, “Kuang Zhan, Nie Zhong, you are responsible for training the death row inmates.”
“Yes, Grand Commander!” both of them took the command respectfully.
“Grand Commander, what about us?” Seeing Feng Wuchen not giving further orders, Duan Tianfeng asked eagerly.
“You will prepare the materials needed for the Spirit Gathering Array,” Feng Wuchen said calmly, then handed a list to Duan Tianfeng and Huo Ming.
“I will stay at Sky Pavilion to cultivate this month, Qingyang, Qingqing, you two will also stay and cultivate here,” Feng Wuchen continued.
“Great, seeing the power of the Spirit Gathering Array!” Liu Qingyang exclaimed excitedly.
Zhang Junlan quickly asked, “Feng Wuchen, when will you compete with me in Artifact Refining?”
“You better break through the First Level of the Yuandan Realm first, your current ability to control fire consumes too much True Yuan, and besides, a month later, I will be participating in the genius ranking battle, I won’t have time,” Feng Wuchen shook his head.
“Fine! Compete in Artifact Refining with me a month later! Let me witness the Divine Skills of Thought-Forming Instrumentation!” Zhang Junlan said helplessly, he could see Feng Wuchen’s current situation and didn’t want to cause any trouble.
An hour later, Duan Tianfeng and Huo Ming brought back the materials needed for the array that Feng Wuchen required.
On the palace square, Feng Wuchen activated the power of the Dragon God, injecting it into the array materials.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
With a wave of his hand, various materials shot out in all directions, as Feng Wuchen’s hands formed seals with incredible speed and profound complexity, the dozens of materials moved along the trajectories controlled by Feng Wuchen.
The entranced and masterful technique left Zhang Junlan and the others astounded.
“Spirit Gathering Array! Activate!” Feng Wuchen clasped his hands together, shouting out loud.
The materials scattered around, upon Feng Wuchen’s shout, suddenly glowed a thread of golden light, and in the sky above the palace, a massive gold-colored formation materialized.
The immense gold-colored formation enveloped the Sky Pavilion, flashing momentarily before disappearing.
The guards of Sky Pavilion were stunned.
“It is indeed a Spirit Gathering Array! This Feng Wuchen is really something else, so young and yet an Artifact Refiner, an Alchemist, and also versed in forming arrays. What’s most unbelievable is that he has reached the Second Layer of the Yuandan Realm! Such an outrageous genius can’t be found anywhere else on the Mainland, can they?” Zhang Junlan thought in amazement.
“Big brother Feng, is the formation complete? That was too quick, wasn’t it?” Seeing the formation dissipate, Liu Qingyang asked, feeling like Feng Wuchen had set up the Spirit Gathering Array just by waving his hands.
“The Spiritual Energy has become much denser!” Miao Qingqing exclaimed, clearly sensing the Spiritual Energy growing more and more concentrated.
Feng Zhan shook his head in shock: “Indeed! The Spiritual Energy is continuously expanding.”
Feng Wuchen said with a light smile, “This is just an ordinary Spirit Gathering Array. To set up a powerful one would require many precious materials. Everyone, go cultivate.”
With the memories and experience of the Evil Dragon God, a mere Spirit Gathering Array posed no challenge for Feng Wuchen.
…
Imperial Capital Barracks.
With Sky Shadow Fire Cavalry and the Black Flag Army soldiers standing in neat formations, their bearing was lofty, and their momentum was extraordinary.
Huanyang and Ming Huanyang had stern and icy expressions, filled with an iron-blooded aura that was intimidating!
“Now that the Grand Commander is in trouble, what do you say we should do?” Huanyang asked coldly.
“For the Grand Commander, we would march through fire and water, without hesitation!” the soldiers shouted loudly, their killing intent soaring to the heavens, their momentum earth-shaking.
“One hundred soldiers will disguise themselves immediately and rush to Unmatched City in Tianzhou!” Huanyang ordered loudly, his spiritual weapon long spear sweeping through the air with an overwhelming force.
“Yes!” the soldiers roared again.
“Ming Huanyang, take a group of death-row prisoners and set off overnight. Select another group with decent talent; the Grand Commander might plan to train them,” Huanyang said gravely.
“Understood! We’ll meet in Tianzhou,” Ming Huanyang nodded in response.
…
In Yunzhou’s Xuantian Sect.
On the imposing square, an Imperial army soldier shouted, “By the Grand Commander’s order, the Sect Master of Xuantian Sect, the former Sect Master, the protector, and the three great elders are to go to Tianzhou. They must disguise themselves and must not alert any forces in Tianzhou. They must arrive by tomorrow at the latest, without fail!”
“We will comply with the Grand Commander’s orders! We will head to Tianzhou immediately!” Mu Yunshan declared, folding his fist in salute.
…
Burn Heaven Valley.
“The Grand Commander has ordered! Commanding the Valley Master of Burn Heaven Valley, Su Yuanshan, and the Third Elder to arrive in Tianzhou by tomorrow at the latest! Do not alert any forces in Tianzhou! There must be no mistakes!” A soldier from Burn Heaven Valley also came to convey Feng Wuchen’s orders.
Su Yuanshan responded respectfully, “We will heed the Grand Commander’s orders!”
…
Tiandu Auction House!
“The Grand Commander has ordered! Commanding the Capital Lord of Tiandu, Chu Wuheng, and the auction house’s elders including Xiang Yan and Wei Yun, to head to Tianzhou immediately. Do not alert any forces in Tianzhou, and make no mistakes!”
“Chu Wuheng receives the order!” Chu Wuheng said respectfully.
Those who received the orders were the powerful forces of Yunzhou.
The powerhouses of the major forces had more or less guessed the implications, and for a time, all the powerhouses of the major forces that had received the orders had begun preparations.
Since they had already submitted, they had to obey Feng Wuchen’s orders!
A storm was about to sweep through Tianzhou!
The powerhouses from Burn Heaven Valley, Tian Capital, and the Auction House had already set off overnight.
In the dead of night, Su Yuanshan and Chu Wuheng, along with other powerhouses, had already entered Tianzhou. Disguised, no one recognized them.
By the next day, a large group of powerhouses had secretly entered the territory of Tianzhou. They moved discreetly, not alerting any forces, but their ultimate destination was Unmatched City, as well as the nearby towns and mountain ranges.
Since it was Feng Wuchen who gave the orders, they had no choice but to be ready at all times.
One hundred of the most elite soldiers from the Sky Shadow Fire Cavalry and the Black Flag Army, along with many strong figures from the Yunzhou major forces, made for a terrifying lineup that could easily besiege the Huangfu family!
“Grand Commander, the soldiers have already arrived in Tianzhou, near Unmatched City. The strong figures from Yunzhou have also arrived,” Huanyang reported respectfully in the Sky Pavilion hall.
“Excellent! With this, I can participate in the Genius Ranking Battle with peace of mind,” Feng Wuchen nodded, feeling relieved now that these strong figures had arrived.
Since the Huangfu family was powerful and Huangfu Zhantian had already made a move, the Huangfu family wouldn’t sit idle. Without these powerhouses’ support, the Feng family would definitely not be able to withstand the Huangfu family.
“Grand Commander, the Huangfu family has repeatedly committed acts of insubordination, a crime punishable by death and one that cannot be forgiven. When shall we take action? Please issue the order!” Ming Huanyang inquired, a fierce murderous intent flashing in his eyes, eager to obliterate the Huangfu family.
Feng Wuchen replied indifferently, “If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move. Let them make the first move so we can rightfully eliminate the Huangfu family.”
After a pause, Feng Wuchen added, “Your arrival is timely. Stay and cultivate in the Sky Pavilion. I’ve set up a Spirit Gathering Array which will significantly help enhance your cultivation. With the aid of elixirs, breaking through to the Third Level of the Yuandan Realm within a month would pose no problem.”
“A Spirit Gathering Array? No wonder the spiritual energy in the Sky Pavilion is so dense!” Ming Huanyang and Huanyang were shocked beyond measure, unable to imagine just how terrifying Feng Wuchen was to be able to set up formations!
Feng Wuchen said with a sneer, “That’s right. I’m now buying time and just in case, Huangfu Zhantian injured my father and he must die!”
“Huangfu Zhantian has a lot of nerve! Relying on the support of Tianyun Sect, he dares to be so arrogant!” Huanyang gritted his teeth angrily, his face turning very dark.
“He won’t be arrogant for long. As long as the Huangfu family dares to make a move, we’ll definitely wipe them from existence!” Huanyang said ferociously.
“Send out the order. Have everyone on standby at all times! If the Huangfu family makes any move, the Soul Blade will be the first to return. Also, do not reveal my presence in the Sky Pavilion,” Feng Wuchen ordered sternly.
“Yes, Grand Commander!” Huanyang and Ming Huanyang said respectfully, then withdrew from the hall.
“Huangfu Yunzhong, I want to see what choice you make. If the Huangfu family dares to act, I will make them pay a painful price. If they don’t act, sooner or later, I will strike at the Huangfu family. Huangfu Zhantian must die!” Feng Wuchen thought viciously to himself.
