Chapter 65: Chapter 065: Terrifying the Whole City
“Young Master, he is the renowned Master Feng in Yunzhou, we can’t afford to offend him!” Zhao Fei whispered urgently, his heart already stricken with panic.
Wang He’s face turned extremely ugly as he barked in anger, “Even if we can’t afford to offend him, we already have. If we don’t kill him today, we are certain to die!”
Wang He was well aware of the exalted status of a Fifth Grade Alchemist and knew that if Feng Wuchen were allowed to leave alive, the Wang residence would be doomed!
The terror of a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner was such that with just one sentence, he could call upon countless powerful figures to exterminate everyone in the Wang residence!
Hearing Wang He’s words, Zhao Fei was utterly dumbfounded.
“I’ll say it again, anyone who wishes to kill me must die! If you dare to intervene, I’ll kill you all too!” Wang He roared furiously, a look of reckless determination on his face.
“Then try it!” Chi Huang snorted coldly, adopting a fighting stance.
“Attack!” Wang He commanded through gritted teeth, signaling his guards to take action.
However, not a single guard dared to move; not only did they fear Feng Wuchen’s identity as Master Feng, but the mere status of the Black Flag Army and the Sky Shadow cavalry was enough to petrify them.
With the Empire’s Great General backing the Black Flag Army and Sky Shadow cavalry, who would dare to offend them?
Zhao Fei didn’t dare to make another move either. Having already injured Feng Wuchen and thus offended him, he certainly didn’t wish to provoke further.
Zhao Fei was filled with regret and growing terror.
“What are you waiting for? Attack now!” Wang He erupted in fury.
“Whoever dares to move will die!” Chi Huang declared coldly.
The guards remained frozen, looking at Chi Huang and his entourage with terror.
“He… He is actually Master Feng!” The shopkeeper, who had come to watch, was beside herself with shock.
Although Feng Wuchen’s reputation had spread throughout the Imperial Capital, there were very few who had actually seen Master Feng’s entourage.
“This is outrageous!” Seeing that not one guard dared to make a move, Wang He’s rage burned even more intensely. He turned to Zhao Fei and bellowed, “Zhao Fei! Attack now!”
“Young Master, if we don’t stop now, I fear we’ll have no way out!” Zhao Fei said in alarm, his face turning white with fear.
“Coward!” Wang He cursed and with a kick, sent Zhao Fei flying.
Seeing that the Wang residence’s guards did not dare to make a move, Chi Huang turned respectfully to Feng Wuchen and asked, “Master Feng, how do you intend to deal with this?”
Wang He held a significant position, and Chi Huang asked this also to know Feng Wuchen’s intentions.
Feng Wuchen, who had taken an elixir, saw his injuries and True Yuan significantly recovered, said coldly, “Death!”
Wang He had thoroughly enraged Feng Wuchen. Feng Wuchen did not care who Wang He was; he had to die today!
Even though Chi Huang guessed what Feng Wuchen might want, he still felt some apprehension and considered speaking out, but he immediately dismissed the thought.
Because Chi Huang thought of someone, that person was Situ Zhentian!
Feng Wuchen was none other than the Master of Situ Zhentian, the Prince’s Master!
“Wang He! You brought this upon yourself!” Chi Huang shouted coldly, conjuring a high-quality treasure sword in his hand, ready to charge forward.
“Lord Wang and Lord Wei are here!” Just as Chi Huang was about to engage, a shout suddenly came from the crowd.
“Lord Wang?” Chi Huang couldn’t help but frown.
“Father is here!” Wang He exclaimed with great joy.
From the crowd, onlookers moved aside, making way for several male officials, past their prime, each accompanied by numerous guards.
Leading them was none other than Lord Wang, Wang Zhongxian!
The father of Wang He!
Officials from Feiyun City had arrived; they had just returned from the royal palace when they realized something was amiss in the city and hurried over.
“Father! You’ve finally come back!” Wang He rushed over immediately.
“He’er, who has injured you like this?” Seeing Wang He’s injuries, Wang Zhongxian’s expression darkened as he asked.
Wang He answered angrily, “Father, it’s that damn brat! He even wants to kill me, and the Black Flag Army and Sky Shadow cavalry are all siding with him!”
“The Black Flag Army? The Sky Shadow cavalry?” Wang Zhongxian furrowed his brows and his aged eyes swept over the scene, indeed spotting the soldiers from the Black Flag Army and Sky Shadow cavalry.
“You’ve got some nerve! Don’t think that just because the Great General backs you that you can act recklessly again!” An official immediately shouted at Chi Huang and the others in anger.
“You dare to injure my son, showing no respect for this official! Even if the Great General himself were here, he couldn’t protect you today!” Wang Zhongxian exclaimed, his voice thunderous. As a Fifth Grade official, with his high position and power, he would not allow anyone to trample over him with impunity.
“Let’s see who dares!” Chi Huang shouted back, as an overwhelming aura erupted from him, radiating a chilling, iron-blooded murderous intent.
“You arrive and immediately start covering up for your own, without even asking about the cause of the incident?” Feng Wuchen questioned coldly.
An official shouted angrily, “It doesn’t matter what the cause is, you dared to injure Young Master Wang!”
“What are you waiting for? Arrest them all!” the official continued, commanding the guards.
“My lords, you must not!” Zhao Fei quickly interjected, “He is the renowned Master Feng of Yunzhou, the one from Thought-Forming Instrumentation! He cannot be touched!”
“What did you say? He is Master Feng?” Upon hearing this, all officials, including Wang Zhongxian, turned pale, their faces as rigid as can be.
They had all heard of Master Feng, and under other circumstances, they might have been merely shocked, but not now!
As officials of the Empire, having just come from the palace, they were naturally aware of the decree that the Emperor had just issued!
Seeing Wang Zhongxian and several officials stiffen in terror, Wang He asked in confusion, “Father, what’s wrong with you?”
Wang Zhongxian didn’t speak, and the other officials remained silent as well.
The guards of the Wang Manor and the people in Feiyun City were very puzzled.
“What’s going on?” Chi Huang and the others were also perplexed. Could merely the title of a Master Feng scare them so much?
Did they already know that Master Feng was Situ Zhentian’s master?
Impossible. Only those in the military camp should know this, no one else should. And Situ Zhentian wouldn’t tell anyone.
But what could the reason be? Everyone was at a loss.
“Father, speak up!” Wang He urged anxiously, panic starting to rise in his heart. He too sensed something was amiss from Wang Zhongxian and the others’ fearful looks.
“It seems Wang He has gotten himself into a serious mess!” the shopkeeper exclaimed in shock, her face turning deathly pale.
Her beautiful eyes looked at Feng Wuchen with terror, now perceiving him as an untouchable mad killer with a formidable background. He was much more than just Master Feng!
“Clip-clop! Clip-clop! Clip-clop!”
Just then, the sound of iron hooves came from outside the city, followed by an ice-cold killing intent from afar, engulfing the sky with its might.
The familiar sound of iron hooves, the familiar spirit of military soul, filled the citizens of Feiyun City with dread, as if facing a great enemy!
That was the sound of the Empire’s Sky Shadow Cavalry! The elite soldiers of the Empire had arrived!
“It’s the sound of the Sky Shadow Cavalry!”
“The Empire’s Sky Shadow Cavalry has come!”
The people of Feiyun City cried out in surprise as if they all understood what this meant, their gazes turning towards the young man at the center.
They all knew that the Sky Shadow Cavalry had arrived because of him!
“The Black Flag Army has arrived too!” The crowd shouted in alarm once more.
Shock! Unspeakable shock! Both of the Empire’s elite forces had come to Feiyun City!
“The Prince! The Duke! The Great General has arrived!” shouted a soldier at the top of his lungs.
“Greetings to the Prince, the Duke, and the Great General!” everyone shouted respectfully in unison.
All the people in the city, including Wang Zhongxian and the other officials, knelt down respectfully, while the guards from the Wang Manor threw their weapons to the ground.
However, the only one still standing was Feng Wuchen!
At that moment, it was clear for all to see.
Wang He was dumbstruck! Utterly dumbfounded! He finally understood the kind of person he had offended!
A youngster around sixteen or seventeen years old, capable of bringing the Prince, the Duke, and the Great General to lead the Empire’s most elite soldiers to him—this alone proved the boy’s terrifying status!
But that wasn’t all. What came next was even more staggering.
Yang Tianxian, Situ Zhentian, and Ye Cangqiong dismounted their horses and came forward hastily, bowing deeply, “Master! Master Feng!”
“Master?” Hearing Situ Zhentian’s address, everyone was once again shocked, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads!
The Prince, the Duke, and Ye Cangqiong were actually bowing to Feng Wuchen, showing utmost respect! What kind of terrifying identity did he have? Not even imperial princes received such deference, right?
“Greetings, Grand Commander!” over a hundred elite soldiers from both the Black Flag Army and the Sky Shadow Cavalry knelt down to pay their respects!
Their loud voices echoed throughout Feiyun City.
“Grand Commander!” The citizens of Feiyun City were petrified, nearly suffocating from the revelation.
Feng Wuchen was actually the Empire’s Grand Commander! Both the Black Flag Army and Sky Shadow Cavalry knelt to him so respectfully!
This series of terrifying identities almost made Wang He faint.
“Grand Commander? Was Master Feng granted the title of Grand Commander?” The seven from Chi Huang were astonished.
“Since when did I become the Grand Commander?” Feng Wuchen asked in astonishment, looking at Yang Tianxian and the others.
“Grand Commander, right after you left, the Emperor had already decreed your appointment as the Grand Commander of the Empire, commanding the Black Flag Army and Sky Shadow Cavalry. We just weren’t able to catch up with you,” Yang Tianxian explained respectfully.
“I see,” Feng Wuchen nodded.
Commanding the Black Flag Army and the Sky Shadow Cavalry? The crowd was shocked yet again!
“Upon learning that the Grand Commander faced danger in Feiyun City, we immediately rushed over,” Ye Cangqiong added.
Chi Huang respectfully reported, “Reporting to the Great General! Wang He and others injured the Grand Commander and even sought to kill him! And Wang Zhongxian and the rest, without inquiring about the cause, committed insubordination! They even tried to arrest the Grand Commander!”
Hearing Chi Huang’s report, the faces of Yang Tianxian and the others darkened intolerably, wishing they could slap Wang Zhongxian to death.
“Wang Zhongxian! Who gave you the audacity? Do you know the severity of the crime of insubordination?” Ye Cangqiong asked coldly, his chilling and dangerous killing intent filling the air.
Situ Zhentian raged fiercely, “You even dare to kill my master! It’s completely lawless!”
“Your Grace! Your Highness! Great General, please spare our lives! We did not know the identity of the Grand Commander! We implore the Grand Commander for mercy!” the officials all knocked their heads on the ground, begging for forgiveness.
Wang Zhongxian was left speechless, realizing that whatever he said now was already too late.
Wang He, even more terrified, had become mute, trembling all over, his complexion as pale as a cadaver!
