Chapter 583 Zhu Wufeng Falls!

Li Xuan was relieved when he saw two groups of people coming out of the small courtyard where Zhu Wufeng rented.

"It seems that not only did we catch the Zheng Wangfu, but we also got an unexpected harvest."

Zhu Wufeng left the courtyard first and ran out of the city.

There were other arrangements over there, so Li Xuan didn't have to rush to chase Zhu Wufeng.

What he didn't expect was that the secret guards actually followed suit.

And it seemed that Zhu Wufeng didn't know about this.

"Did you get instructions from others?"

Last night, Li Xuan followed the secret guards who were staring at Yang Wanli and found this place all the way.

After understanding that it was someone sent by Zhu Wufeng, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Originally thought that Zhu Wufeng was just a reckless man, but now it seems that he is a little cautious.

Fortunately, after Li Xuan got the news from Yang Wanli last night, he didn't give up the action immediately, but continued to try to lure him.

After seeing that only five secret guards came out of the courtyard, and no one else came out, Li Xuan hurriedly followed.

Although these secret guards were quite capable, they were only at the level of the middle third rank, and it was impossible for them to find Li Xuan who was following behind.

Compared to Zhu Wufeng, these five secret guards surprised Li Xuan even more.

If he could successfully ambush and kill Zhu Wufeng today and capture these five people alive, he would make a lot of money.

While Li Xuan was looking forward to it, he did not forget his business and followed him all the way without forgetting to explore the surroundings.

The ambush they set today was aimed at Zhu Wufeng alone. If other upper third rank masters broke into the process, it would be troublesome.

Hunters must be more cautious than prey when hunting, otherwise it is not certain who the prey is.

Li Xuan used the exploration method he had recently comprehended to sense all the way, fearing that King Zheng had any other tricks.

In this way, Zhu Wufeng was in front, the secret guards were in the middle, and Li Xuan was in the back, and they rushed to the outside of the city one by one.

However, Zhu Wufeng had long disappeared, and only the five secret guards were on their way in Li Xuan's perception range.

Zhu Wufeng and the secret guards knew the location outside the city, so there was no possibility of not meeting them.

The secret guards also knew this very well, so although they were traveling fast, they did not feel anxious.

Soon, Li Xuan followed the secret guards out of the city without any mistakes, and did not find any abnormal aura nearby.

When they arrived outside the city, the secret guards sped up again and used Qinggong to travel, and their speed was no slower than that of horses.

When they were in the wild, Li Xuan was better hidden, and he followed in the woods, even if he made a little noise, it would not arouse suspicion.

After traveling for dozens of miles, Li Xuan saw that they were almost there, so he wanted to take action.

"I haven't encountered any trouble so far, so there shouldn't be any mistakes."

Li Xuan stared at the five secret guards in front of him, and the Yin and Yang Qi in his body slowly circulated and began to gather strength.

He cleared his throat, found the right time, and suddenly launched a ghost cry to the secret guards.

"Roar——"

The secret guards suddenly heard a thunderous tiger roar in their ears, and their feet softened and they all fell to the ground, with stars in front of their eyes, black and white.

They opened their mouths to warn, but found that they spat out blood as soon as they opened their mouths, and they had no strength to speak.

The secret guards wanted to struggle, but they heard a clear tiger roar again behind them.

Unlike the first time when it only exploded in their ears, this time the sound shook their whole body, and the blood in their bodies was stirred up.

In a few breaths, the five secret guards lost consciousness one after another and had no reaction.

Li Xuan was afraid of shocking them to death, and seeing that their blood and qi in their bodies were constantly weakening, he quickly stopped talking.

"Hu——"

Li Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

He had just used the ghost cry and the dragon tiger wind roar to suppress them, which consumed a lot of yin and yang true energy.

Although he recovered in the blink of an eye, it was rare for him to use his full strength.

Li Xuan had overestimated the strength of these secret guards. He thought they were all of the fourth rank, but judging by the result, they were probably only of the fifth rank.

"The secret guards should be the elite of the Zheng Wangfu, right?"

"Why do I feel that the quality is still a little worse than that of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Is it just that the people who came to help Zhu Wufeng are weak?"

Li Xuan looked at the five unconscious secret guards on the ground and felt a little confused.

But it was obviously not the time to delve into this issue.

Although this place was remote, it was also on the roadside, and someone might pass by.

Li Xuan immediately dragged the unconscious secret guards into the woods, then took out the light-absorbing black cloth from them and covered them, and then broke some branches to cover them as camouflage.

Li Xuan knew very well that these five secret guards were more valuable alive, and maybe he could dig out some useful information from them if he sent them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

He chose to act here because there were people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs nearby to support him, and the location was also the best.

As we went forward, more people began to appear, and it was difficult to act because there were too many people and too many eyes.

Before, the road was not so remote, and it was too far from the contact.

After Li Xuan covered the unconscious secret guard, he hurried to call for help.

Otherwise, if he lost these five secret guards, Li Xuan would be heartbroken.

He continued to walk forward along the path, and soon an inn located in the wilderness appeared in front of him.

There was a crossroad in front of the inn. Although the location was a bit off, the business was good.

It is the first choice place for travelers to and from the capital to take a break.

【Cross Slope Inn】

This is also an old place. Li Xuan has been here once before.

At this time, the support staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were staying in the store.

The place where they ambush Zhu Wufeng today is not far from the inn.

The ambush at Zhuwu Peak must be kept secret, and there must be suitable witnesses to spread the news.

Therefore, Li Xuan decided on the location here after discussing with the two managers.

Li Xuan slipped into a guest room on the second floor of the inn.

Entering the house, I found a group of colorful eunuchs led by Xu Lang waiting here.

They were all dressed in casual clothes at this time, holding weapons in their hands, and they were fighting in a solemn manner.

Seeing Li Xuan come in, they all stood up and saluted silently, showing great respect to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then wrote to Xu Lang:

"I have captured a few people from Prince Zheng's Mansion. You can control them as I please."

"What's going on over at Zhuwu Peak? Is everything going well?"

While receiving the order, Xu Lang quickly replied:

"Zhuwufeng has entered the mountain and is under personal supervision by the two managers."

"As soon as we receive your signal, the two stewards will take action immediately."

Li Xuan's signal was to confirm that there were no other upper-level third-level warriors around to disrupt the situation.

After all, if Prince Zheng had the same idea as them, Li Xuan and the Ministry of Internal Affairs would suffer a big loss today.

"Okay, go to the controller with me first, and then I'll go and meet the two managers immediately."

Xu Lang led the team to take action immediately. They followed Li Xuan and soon came to the place where the five secret guards were hidden.

Li Xuan found that these five people were still lying on the same spot, and his heart was relieved.

No matter what the outcome of the ambush at Zhu Wufeng will be later, at least something has been gained today.

"You guys keep an eye on these five people, I'll leave first."

Li Xuan hurriedly said hello to Xu Lang and hurried to meet the two managers.

"I wish you success in your actions, sir!"

Xu Lang saluted in the direction where Li Xuan left, and then led others to do things.

But when he saw clearly the clothes of these five people and the cloth covering them, he couldn't help but exclaimed:

"This, is this the secret guard of Prince Zheng's palace?"

The other eunuchs in colorful clothes turned to look at Xu Lang.

"Captain, it looks similar to me."

"Do we have to take the person back first?"

"Otherwise if something goes wrong, I'm afraid I won't be able to take the responsibility."

The tone of the eunuchs in colorful clothes became serious one after another, and they did not dare to be careless.

Over the years, the secret guards of Prince Zheng's Mansion have acted extremely cautiously, and have never fallen into their hands alive.

"this……"

Xu Lang was also in a dilemma for a while, not knowing what to do.

He turned back to look in the direction Li Xuan left, but there was no trace of him anywhere.

He guessed that Li Xuan didn't realize the value of these few survivors.

Xu Lang hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"Follow your orders, control these people, follow the original plan, stay nearby and adapt accordingly!"

"Send someone to inform other nearby brothers and ask them to send all the prepared personnel to us."

"yes!"

After Xu Lang gave the order, the eunuchs in colorful clothes immediately took action.

"Fixed with medicine, tied up, and removed his hands and feet."

Xu Lang said to the other eunuchs in colorful clothes, his tone was trembling unconsciously.

…

Li Xuan naturally knew nothing about Xu Lang's excitement.

He rushed to the agreed ambush location with all his strength.

Previously, the news they released was that the Red Turban Team was entrusted by someone to find some medicinal materials.

This medicinal material only grows in the mountains near the cross slope. However, a pair of evil tigers have been entrenched recently and cannot be approached easily. This attracted the masters of the Red Scarf Team to take action in person.

Of course, the medicinal materials and the evil tiger are both fake, just deceiving Zhu Wufeng.

But this false news also deceived the Red Scarf team. The Ministry of Internal Affairs also sent people in advance to spread some true and false news at the Cross Slope Inn.

Although the time is too short to make it perfect, it is enough to trick Zhu Wufeng.

When Zhu Wufeng died, he couldn't hide the fact that it was false news.

Li Xuan even planned to disassociate himself from the Red Scarf Team on the pretext that the news was false.

Otherwise, they will now be hostile to Prince Zheng's mansion. To be honest, the Red Scarf team does not have such a foundation.

If they were really pushed to that point, Emperor Yongyuan and Prince Zheng would both have a clear card.

The true background of the Red Scarf Team cannot be concealed, nor can the things that King Zheng did in the Money Gang be concealed. It will be exposed openly at that time, which will only embarrass everyone.

When Li Xuan arrived at the target location, he did not go directly into the mountain. Instead, he explored the foot of the mountain to make sure there was no problem. Then, while exploring, he went up the mountain to meet the two managers.

When they arrived at the meeting place, a breeze blew by Li Xuan's ears, and at the same time, it also brought Zhao Feng's voice.

"Axuan, you're here."

"What's the result of the investigation?"

Zhao Feng asked impatiently.

The two managers are waiting for a signal from Li Xuan. As long as Li Xuan sends a signal, they will take action immediately.

Li Xuan immediately shouted loudly without hesitation.

"roar--"

The roar of the tiger resounded through the mountains and forests, startling countless birds.

Somewhere in the mountains.

When Zhao Feng heard the tiger roar, an excited smile appeared on his face.

"Godfather."

Zhao Feng turned his head and looked aside.

Manager Shang was closing his eyes tightly at this time and making a complicated mudra with his hands.

Hearing the call of his adopted son, Manager Shang slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile:

"Do it."

Having said that, the marks on Manager Shang's hand changed one after another, each one more complex than the last.

Manager Shang's expression was extremely serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water!"

The fingerprints on Mr. Shang's hand suddenly paused, and Zhao Fengdu, who was standing aside, couldn't help but feel in a trance.

When Zhao Feng came to his senses, he found that Manager Shang had disappeared.

Zhao Feng laughed immediately and was extremely excited.

The next moment, Zhao Feng's figure seemed to have been erased by an eraser, and he slowly disappeared.

The mountains became calm again, as if nothing had happened.

…

"Hey, is there really a tiger?"

Zhu Wufeng gradually lost patience after searching unsuccessfully in the mountains. As a result, he heard a tiger's roar that echoed through the forest from somewhere in the mountains.

This restored some of his patience, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

The evil tiger is naturally not worth mentioning to Zhu Wufeng, who is a third-level master.

What he is looking for are the two fourth-level masters from the Red Scarf Team.

Especially the man named Mo Tiansheng.

After this person joined the Red Turban Team, the Red Turban Team's momentum was at its peak. If they continued to be like this, he would become a serious problem for them sooner or later.

You know, although there are fist-sized truths in this world, there is also a sense of friendship that needs to be discussed.

The development momentum of the Red Turban Team made Zhu Wufeng feel more and more wrong.

This force, which only aims to do good and help others, punish rape and eradicate evil, is becoming more and more popular among the people in the capital.

Recently, it has also attracted many young talents from all over the world to travel to the capital.

You must know that these passionate young people are not just rich and free owners, but also have various sects behind them.

It's just that the management of the Red Scarf Team is extremely loose. As long as you want to do good things and do good things, you are welcome, and there are no strict regulations. Even after you join the Red Scarf Team, you are also welcome if you have other identities.

And after joining the Red Scarf Team, if you need help with anything, as long as it is not unreasonable, you can ask it, and the team will give priority to solving it.

This kind of organization cannot attract old people, but enthusiastic young people are flocking to it, and it has even caused a wave of joining the Red Scarf Team. The young knights attract people with the red scarves around their necks and the red badges on their shoulders. Be proud of it.

It's just that joining the Red Scarf team is not that easy. You need to be patient and do good deeds in the capital for a month, and then pass the team's vote.

Many young knights who were motivated by a whim could not survive a month, and were soon lost in the colorful world of the capital.

Those who can pass the one-month test are also mentally determined. After one month of practice, they have better understood the philosophy of the Red Turban Team, and most of them are players who can stay.

The development momentum of the Red Scarf Team made Zhu Wufeng very worried, fearing that the Red Scarf Team would grow up and become a serious problem for King Zheng in the future.

Therefore, Zhu Wufeng cared more about how to get rid of the Red Scarf Team than the trash from the Money Gang.

Although he easily rejected Yang Wanli's proposal yesterday, he was actually very excited. Just to be cautious, he asked the secret guards to investigate first.

Judging from the secret guard's report, Yang Wanli's proposal is very reliable.

What made Zhu Wufeng even more determined was that he could deal with Mo Tiansheng today.

Zhu Wufeng was also very curious about Mo Tiansheng.

And if there is a chance, Zhu Wufeng hopes to conquer this person for King Zheng.

After all, Mo Tiansheng's recent reputation is too loud.

Having such a person join will definitely be a big help to King Zheng.

Zhu Wufeng's idea is wonderful, but the current progress is not satisfactory.

After he entered the mountain, he searched for a long time, but he could not find any trace of the two men from the Red Scarf Team.

Just when he was impatient, the tiger's roar gave him a wake-up call.

"Those two people went into the mountains to collect herbs and probably encountered the so-called pair of evil tigers."

"I should follow the tiger's roar and find them."

Zhu Wufeng took action immediately, turned around and rushed towards the direction where the tiger's roar came from before.

But as soon as he turned around, he froze in place.

Zhu Wufeng looked down and found that one of his shoes was soaked.

It turned out that he didn't pay attention when he turned around just now and stepped into a puddle on the side.

"unlucky!"

Zhu Wufeng took back his feet that were in the puddle and continued in the direction where the tiger's roar came from earlier.

But the next moment, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't remember the direction from which the tiger's roar came from.

"Ah, yes, that's it."

The confusion in Zhu Wufeng's eyes dissipated and he suddenly smiled.

"Oh, this brain."

Zhu Wufeng sighed, stood up and hurried on.

But for some reason, the mountain seemed to get bigger.

As Zhu Wufeng walked, he actually felt a little tired, but now he was still far from his destination.

"This mountain forest is full of vegetation, it shouldn't be."

The true energy of Bamboo Five Peaks is the attribute of bamboo that has mutated from the five elements tree.

Logically speaking, he should be very comfortable in such an environment, but for some reason he felt tired after driving some mountainous roads.

"Something's wrong!"

Zhu Wufeng felt that his breathing was becoming difficult, as if there was water in his lungs, preventing him from taking in fresh air.

"There must be something wrong!!"

The Five Peaks of Bamboo immediately exploded with true energy and started to use their own green bamboo method.

But whether it's his true energy or his own way, it's extremely difficult, and it takes a lot more effort than usual.

Zhu Wufeng suppressed the fear in his heart and forced all the power in his body to activate.

I saw a green bamboo sprouting from under his feet, pressing against the soles of his feet, pushing his whole body up to the sky.

But even though he was tens of feet away from the ground, Zhu Wufeng still couldn't feel the slightest relief. Instead, his whole body was wet and cold, as if his whole body was immersed in water.

What's even more frightening is that the water has reached the top of Zhu Wufeng's head, making him unable to even breathe.

"How dare you try to kill me!!!"

Zhu Wufeng looked crazy, holding his head and shouting angrily.

Then, a bright green light erupted from his body.

The next moment, sharp and huge green bamboos sprouted from the ground like bamboo shoots after rain, and in an instant they grew as tall as a giant tree.

With the Five Bamboo Peaks as the center, the bamboo forest quickly spread to the surrounding areas, as if all the surrounding mountains and forests were to be transformed into bamboo forests.

While Zhu Wufeng was struggling in fear, a voice suddenly came from a distance.

"Zhu Wufeng, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

Zhu Wufeng was stunned when he heard this voice, and looked up in disbelief.

"Your Highness!?"

Opposite the Five Bamboo Peaks, King Zheng's figure is also stepping on a green bamboo.

King Zheng's eyes were full of disappointment and anger, and he stared straight at Zhu Wufeng, as if he was going to be embarrassed.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

"Zhu Wufeng, do you still dare to ask this king?" King Zheng asked.

"I trusted you and asked you to supervise the money gang, but what did you do?"

"As a tribute to Prince Zheng's Mansion, have I ever treated you badly?"

"What kind of woman do you want but can't get, so you just want to steal other people's wives and daughters?"

"How can you convince the public if you call me the king? Who else will be willing to continue to be loyal to me!"

"Your Highness, that's not the case..."

Zhu Wufeng argued hurriedly, but King Zheng didn't give him a chance at all.

"Stop talking!"

"Zhu Wufeng, because I have treated you so well over the years, you should give up your cultivation and give me an explanation."

"Otherwise, my great cause may come to an end here."

"But don't worry, if you are willing to give an explanation, you will still be worshiped by me, Prince Zheng, for the rest of your life."

"If you don't want to, then we will sever all ties between you and me!"

King Zheng's words left no room for change, and Zhu Wufeng was stunned on the spot when he said it, and his eyes even turned red.

"Your Highness, I have been with you for thirty-one years."

"You didn't even give me a chance to explain, and you only listened to those base words?"

Even though he was as strong as the third grade and had gone through many vicissitudes of life, the grievance in Zhu Wufeng's heart at this moment still made him unable to hold back tears.

Zhu Wufeng looked around, feeling the still painful physical condition, and asked in disbelief:

"Your Highness, if I don't want to, do you really want to kill me?"

King Zheng in front of Zhu Wufeng didn't say a word, he just turned around silently and turned his back to him.

Zhu Wufeng laughed sadly and understood what King Zheng meant.

He raised his right hand tremblingly and looked at the palm of his hand. His face was complicated, his eyes were blurred and scattered, and he seemed to have lost focus a long time ago.

Zhu Wufeng struggled and hesitated, but did not take action.

No one knows whether he will kill himself with this palm, or whether he will turn to King Zheng and kill everything.

Time seemed to be slowed down, and Zhu Wufeng felt that his physical and mental pain was infinitely magnified, and he felt every painful detail.

This kind of torture made him lifeless, and he just wanted to end it all as soon as possible and get rid of this pain.

After King Zheng turned around, he kept his back to him. The firmness of his figure convinced Zhu Wufeng that the other party would not turn around for him.

"well……"

Zhu Wufeng felt that it didn't matter anymore.

His overall strength doesn't matter.

It doesn’t matter what ideal you want to achieve.

It doesn't matter whether King Zheng will turn around for him or whether he will be sad for him.

"Your Highness, take care!"

Zhu Wufeng said goodbye, gathered strength in his palms, and was ready to commit suicide.

He was so tired now, but he was afraid that a slap would not kill him, and he would not be able to retain even the last trace of his dignity, so he had to use his last strength.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Wufeng found that he had accumulated enough strength to commit suicide.

He took one last longing look at King Zheng's back.

Zhu Wufeng did not expect that he would not wait to see the day when this man changed his life.

I never imagined that I would be left behind in this way.

But he was completely despairing at this moment, and no matter how much he thought about it, it would only add to his pain.

Zhu Wufeng laughed at himself, and then wanted to smash his Tianling Cap with one palm, ending his absurd and ridiculous life.

But at this moment, the green bamboo under his feet suddenly jumped up again, shaking his whole body.

Bamboo Wufeng was in such bad condition that he almost fell off the bamboo.

But as a result, some clarity returned to his eyes.

He accidentally glanced at King Zheng again, only to find that King Zheng still turned his back to him in disappointment.

Zhu Wufeng was about to continue to despair, but suddenly he caught a detail that was horrifying to think about.

He looked at King Zheng's back again and found that the height was actually the same as his own, no change from before.

But the bamboo at the foot of Zhuwu Peak had clearly moved upward just now.

He returned his gaze to the palm that was originally intended to hit his head, and realized that he was so close to death just now, and he shuddered.

This shudder immediately made his mind clearer.

Then, the green bamboo under his feet actually continuously transmitted vigorous vitality, which gradually subsided the coldness and heaviness on his body.

Zhu Wufeng looked up again, and a emerald light flashed in his eyes, sweeping away the previous confusion, and became extremely determined.

"Die!"

Zhu Wufeng's palm, which had been accumulated for a long time, actually hit the back of King Zheng directly.

"Pretending to be His Highness, you will die!"

Bang——

Zhu Wufeng hit King Zheng's back with a palm, and King Zheng instantly turned into water drops and scattered like a punctured water ball.

At this moment, Zhu Wufeng looked extremely excited.

But then, the scene in front of him blurred.

What he saw was the scene after he heard the tiger roar and before he turned around.

And everything that happened before seemed to be an illusion.

But Zhu Wufeng's body was soaked with cold sweat, and most of his internal energy was consumed, and his condition was extremely bad.

He seemed to have stepped on a stone, and his feet felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Wufeng raised his foot and saw that it was a bamboo shoot that had just emerged.

The moment he saw it, Zhu Wufeng was horrified.

He had already reacted at this moment. What he had just seen was not just a simple illusion.

Yes, what kind of illusion could confuse a third-grade master?

"Dao... Realm."

Zhu Wufeng uttered the two words with difficulty, as if these two words could take his life.

And the fact was indeed so.

Zhu Wufeng's face was ashen, and he was even more desperate than when he faced the back of King Zheng just now.

But he immediately changed his mind and felt that something was wrong.

If the other party wanted to kill him in the Dao Realm, how could he escape?

Zhu Wufeng looked at the green bamboo that was protruding under his feet and felt that he must not be just lucky, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to think about it now.

"No, no."

"It's not just because my Dao contains vitality!"

Zhu Wufeng escaped death and immediately ran at full speed, fleeing towards the direction of the capital.

"Save me!"

"Roar——"

Zhu Wufeng shouted at the top of his lungs, and also used the method of sound transmission to spread his voice to the limit.

But the moment his voice sounded, the even louder tiger roar covered his voice.

Zhu Wufeng despaired and found that his sound transmission was suppressed.

"What's going on!?"

Zhu Wufeng found that today's strange things were more and more, and each one wanted his life.

Unknowingly, he was trapped in the Dao realm, and then rushed out in a daze.

At present, the sound transmission rescue was easily intercepted by others.

The Dao realm is the ability of the second-grade He Dao realm, and it is easy for a second-grade warrior to kill him.

And the suppression of sound transmission is even more outrageous, which proves that the opponent not only has a better sound transmission skill, but also has a thicker and purer true energy than him, at least in terms of quality, there is an overwhelming gap.

But the other party was just taking his time, playing like a cat catching a mouse.

But Zhu Wufeng couldn't muster up the slightest resistance or anger, he just wanted to escape from here quickly, at least he had to spread the news as much as possible.

The Zheng Wang Mansion was secretly targeted by such a powerful person, and it would definitely fall into a big trap in the future.

It must be said that Zhu Wufeng was indeed loyal to Zheng Wang.

But Zhu Wufeng's mind was lost, giving the people in the dark an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Zhu Wufeng, you really disappoint this king!"

Zhu Wufeng saw the figure of Zheng Wang appearing in front of him, looking at him with disappointment.

But Zhu Wufeng already knew that it was an illusion, so he naturally wouldn't be fooled again. With a wave of his hand, several green bamboos grew out from the ground and directly pierced Zheng Wang's body.

Zhu Wufeng didn't even look at it, he ran over directly, but a scratch appeared on his body silently, blood slowly seeped out, soaking his clothes, but he was unaware.

"Zhu Wufeng, I never thought that one day you would attack me from behind."

"Zhu Wufeng, do you remember the day when I asked you to serve as a servant in the Zheng Palace? You said that was the most glorious moment of your life."

"Zhu Wufeng, we have known each other for 31 years. Back then, you and I were just young boys who didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was."

"Zhu Wufeng, why did you abandon our dreams?"

"Zhu Wufeng, I treated you well, didn't I? Is this how you repay me?"

"Zhu Wufeng..."

Zhu Wufeng's eyes flashed one after another. The image of the Zheng King was constantly changing, sometimes old, sometimes young, but without exception, it was the image in his memory.

His clothes were soaked with blood at some point.

This time, the coldness was no longer just an illusion.

Zhu Wufeng realized that there was little true energy left in his body, but he couldn't even see the outline of the capital city in front of him, so he knew that he had no way to escape.

"Who are you?"

Zhu Wufeng asked in a weak voice.

The figure of King Zheng appeared in front of Zhu Wufeng again.

But this time, King Zheng did not attack Zhu Wufeng's mind again, but smiled and said to him:

"Look at your feet."

Zhu Wufeng was stunned and took two steps back.

The small bamboo shoot tip protruded a little more than before, but it was also very limited, at most it was more painful.

But Zhu Wufeng stepped on it just now, and he didn't feel anything.

Zhu Wufeng looked at the familiar bamboo shoot tip and laughed miserably.

"So I've been standing still."

Puff.

Two muffled sounds rang out at random.

Zhu Wufeng had originally lowered his head to look at his feet, but he saw a bloody hole on his chest, and his neck also felt lighter. Then his vision turned around, and he saw the bamboo shoots and a headless corpse slowly falling to the ground.

...

"He's dead now, meow?"

Li Xuan walked to Zhu Wufeng's body, and couldn't believe that a third-grade warrior had fallen like this.

The light and shadow of King Zheng, who was originally standing in front of Zhu Wufeng, gradually distorted, revealing Zhao Feng's tired face.

"Dead."

Zhao Feng answered Li Xuan's question, his face full of relief.

After a while, Manager Shang also walked out from behind the tree next to him and exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

Manager Shang looked at Zhu Wufeng's body on the ground and just shook his head gently.

Li Xuan looked at the two tired people, and didn't rush to ask his own questions, but gave them enough time to rest.

Li Xuan had been watching from the side just now, but he only understood a little bit.

Li Xuan thought that today's ambush would be a big battle, but the scene was much smaller than Li Xuan expected.

Among them, the most critical role was played by General Manager Shang.

However, Li Xuan could not understand General Manager Shang's methods at all.

Recalling the previous scene, Li Xuan felt that it was weird and weird.

Zhu Wufeng was almost marking time, like a ghost wall, running in circles unconsciously, and occasionally talking to the elusive Zhao Feng, with an excited expression.

With Li Xuan's observation, he was able to find that an extremely rich water-attributed true qi formed an area in a specific way, covering Zhu Wufeng.

Zhu Wufeng, who was in it, was almost isolated from the five elements of heaven and earth under Li Xuan's observation.

But this area is not large, probably only a few dozen feet in radius.

It is such a small place that eventually trapped Zhu Wufeng to death.

Later, Zhu Wufeng was even unaware of Zhao Feng's attack, and he used his body to resist it, not even feeling the pain.

Li Xuan just heard Zhu Wufeng muttering something about "Dao Realm".

"Shang Zongguan's Dao should not be so outrageous."

"Is this Dao Realm a higher level of power than Dao?"

"Shang Zongguan is a second-grade strength?"

"But even so, this effect is too..."

Li Xuan was somewhat unable to describe the gap between them.

If this is the gap between Dao Realm and Dao, then a third-grade warrior facing a second-grade warrior would probably have no power to resist.

Dao Realm almost isolates the opponent from the five elements of heaven and earth. Not only will the true qi be consumed faster, but the opponent will also lose the support of external forces. The true qi and Dao cannot last for a long time.

Being enveloped by Dao Realm is almost doomed to defeat.

With such ability, even if Li Xuan practices Yin-Yang true qi, I am afraid there is no good way.

"The second rank is this level, what is the first rank?"

"Immortal?"

Li Xuan's confidence was deeply hit by the outrageous ability of the upper third rank.

He was sure that Old Ye was also of the second rank.

So, Old Ye never used his ability properly.

To this day, Li Xuan only knew that Old Ye's Tao was related to shadows, but he had never seen how it was used.

After all, he had never seen Old Ye fight, and he had only seen Old Ye use shadows to help him manage books in Qianxing Pavilion.

Li Xuan blinked his eyes and felt that he had not been respectful enough to Old Ye and Shang Zongguan before.

"It seems that I still have a lot of room for being more polite."

And Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng had already started to deal with Zhu Wufeng's body.

They first touched the body and took off all the things on Zhu Wufeng's body, even the tattered bloody clothes.

After sorting out Zhu Wufeng's relics together, Shang Zongguan took out a wooden box and put them all in.

"Ah Xuan, you collect Zhu Wufeng's relics first."

"I'll take them, meow?"

Li Xuan pointed at himself.

As a third-rank warrior, Zhu Wufeng's relics should be of extraordinary value. No matter how good Shang Zongguan is to him, he would not give them to him so easily.

"Some things may be tracked, and your Dihong bone ring can isolate these tracks."

After listening to Shang Zongguan's explanation, Li Xuan finally understood and knew that he was being self-indulgent.

He immediately said "Oh" obediently and helped Shang Zongguan collect Zhu Wufeng's relics.

"Where is his body, meow?"

After collecting the things, Li Xuan asked the two stewards.

Although he was an enemy, it was always inappropriate to expose his body in the wilderness, and it would also leave clues for King Zheng. At least the body should be burned to destroy the traces.

The two stewards naturally understood what Li Xuan meant, but they smiled and shook their heads at Li Xuan.

"Ah Xuan, you will know in a moment."

"Someone will help us take away Zhu Wufeng's body."

As soon as Shang Zongguan finished speaking, Li Xuan discovered something unusual.

On the ground where Zhu Wufeng fell, small grass sprouted, and soon it became a dense lawn.

That was not all, and then there were saplings sprouting.

In particular, the tip of the bamboo shoot left by Zhu Wufeng also grew up, and in an instant it grew to the thickness of a bowl.

Li Xuan looked at this scene in amazement, and did not expect that the corpse of a third-grade warrior would have such an effect.

Li Xuan could detect through his perception that a large amount of rich bamboo-attributed Qi was dissipating towards the heaven and earth, quickly transformed into wood-attributed energy, and then integrated into the five elements of heaven and earth.

Such a change can be described as an adventure for the surrounding plants.

Li Xuan and the two managers stood aside and watched this scene quietly, which was also a farewell to Zhu Wufeng's opponent.

But at this moment, Li Xuan suddenly felt that the Yin and Yang Qi in his body was operating uncontrollably according to the Yin and Yang Zhenji Jue.

The bamboo-type zhenqi that originally flowed to the heaven and earth instead gathered on Li Xuan's body, and the zhenqi was so rich that it could be seen with the naked eye.

The two managers saw the rich green light decomposing from Zhu Wufeng's body converging on Li Xuan, and slowly lifted his body up and suspended it in mid-air.

Li Xuan groaned comfortably, feeling that every cell in his body was cheering and glowing with vitality.

Every time he breathed in, he felt extremely deep and natural, as if the air between heaven and earth had become exceptionally fresh.

Li Xuan's changes seemed to be good, but the two managers on the side still couldn't help but worry.

"Godfather, will Ah Xuan be okay?"

"It doesn't look like it, but he must have received some benefits."

Manager Shang carefully looked at Li Xuan's condition and found that Li Xuan's aura was constantly rising.

Zhao Feng also discovered this and felt a little relieved.

"Is this what makes the Destined People special?" Zhao Feng said to himself, and then asked in confusion: "But I have never heard that the Destined People have this kind of..."

Zhao Feng did not say anything else, but the worry in his expression was already very obvious.

"Maybe it has something to do with Ah Xuan's future path." Manager Shang guessed.

"But this matter must not be known to the outside world."

Manager Shang added.

Zhao Fengshen nodded in agreement.

After all, this situation is really easy for people to have bad associations.

Especially those evil cultivators, if they know that there is such a person as Li Xuan, they will have to think of ways to improve their strength as their own.
