Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 192 - 146: From the Imperial City to the Dragon Capital (Part 2)

Chapter 192: Chapter 146: From the Imperial City to the Dragon Capital (Part 2)

He thought Han Tieshan had fallen off the cliff.

But in the next instant, Han Tieshan leapt up from below, returning to the mountaintop, his face furious as he glared at Xiao Zhan.

"You and your daughter had better pray that my son wakes up."

Xiao Zhan didn’t strike at Han Tieshan again.

Instead, he leapt downward, diving toward the Imperial City. Just like that, he flew off the hundreds-meter-high cliff, dashing across treetops, and in no time, vanished from sight.

"Where’s he going?"

Han Dong asked in confusion.

"To find the person he’s supposed to find."

Han Tieshan exhaled deeply as he spoke.

...

Outside Willow Alley.

Jiang Feng checked his panel information repeatedly.

He held the Overlord Bow in his hands.

There were hundreds of arrows in the quiver.

At his waist hung a Profound Iron Tang Saber. This saber was a Profound Iron Treasure Saber he had swiped from the Dark Hall Secret Chamber. To avoid being recognized, he’d specially asked a blacksmith to recast it, costing a fair bit of Profound Iron, turning a large blade into a refined Tang Saber.

After the reforging, the Tang Saber’s toughness had greatly improved.

Once he finished his business, he stationed himself outside Willow Alley.

Fully armed.

He kept vigilant, observing every move around him.

If anything felt off,

he’d run immediately.

Leave Dragon Capital straight away.

He absolutely would not take Xiao Zhan head-on.

Right now, he had no confidence at all in beating Xiao Zhan. Plus, his identity was exposed, and he’d face reprisals from the Second Prince. He couldn’t afford to gamble—he could only escape.

Even though Zhenbei Prison was a great spot to earn Fortune Points, he had to leave, and figure out a way to get out of Great Tang. Only beyond its borders could he avoid being hunted by Xiao Zhan or the Second Prince’s men.

He’d already planned it all out.

As long as he stayed alive and dragged things out for a hundred years, once Xiao Zhan and the Second Prince became dust and bones, nobody would be able to do anything to him. By then, all the risks would be gone, and he’d likely rack up a handsome amount of Fortune Points.

Only, for days and nights to come, he’d probably have to keep running, never staying put.

All in all, even if he had to hide out deep in the mountains and forests and couldn’t earn many Fortune Points, it would be better than dying at the hands of Xiao Zhan and the Second Prince.

He believed that as long as he had time to accumulate enough Fortune Points, one day, Xiao Zhan and the Second Prince would be the ones running from him.

And for him, time was the last thing he lacked.

Right then.

Jiang Feng muttered in his heart, "It’s been so long. If my Fortune Points haven’t changed, it means Xiao Ran’s already woken up. I can’t wait for Xiao Zhan to show up before I run—I need to leave now."

So.

He checked the panel information.

Name: Jiang Feng

Fortune: 110,889

"Up, it’s up, over twenty thousand more—did Xiao Ran die?"

"No, if he died, my identity wouldn’t be exposed so easily. How could it only go up over twenty thousand?"

"So what happened?"

"What the hell is going on with Xiao Ran? Did Sister Dong help me and make him keep his mouth shut?"

"No way. If Xiao Ran really woke up, he’d definitely reveal me to Xiao Zhan. Sister Dong couldn’t possibly stop him."

"But now the Fortune Points went up. Did something go wrong with waking him up?"

Jiang Feng kept thinking.

He didn’t dare be careless.

Suddenly.

Jiang Feng felt a powerful aura closing in on his location. He jumped in fright—could Xiao Zhan be coming to kill him? But seeing the Fortune Points increase, he forced himself to stay calm and didn’t act rashly.

Eventually, he saw Xiao Zhan turn into a stream of light, brushing past the area near Willow Alley, heading toward the Imperial City.

"Damn, that speed is terrifying."

"He’s not after me."

"Xiao Zhan’s just too scary. If I really had to face him, I’d probably have to throw all my Fortune Points into Three-legged Body Technique just to run."

Jiang Feng finally got a clear look—that man was Xiao Zhan.

A quick glance was enough to leave a shadow in his heart.

"Looks like something definitely happened on Black Iron Mountain. My plan worked."

Jiang Feng murmured to himself.

But just to be safe,

he kept watch outside Willow Alley all night, in case Xiao Ran and the Second Prince’s men suddenly came to kill him.

That night felt interminable for Jiang Feng.

Not long after Xiao Zhan disappeared, Jiang Feng sensed two auras entangled near the Imperial City. He couldn’t help but wonder—who was bold enough to cause trouble so close to the Imperial City? Judging by how the auras trembled, and especially by the changes in the surrounding Power of Heaven and Earth, Jiang Feng was almost certain that one of them was Xiao Zhan.

Within Dragon Capital,

probably only Xiao Zhan dared to fight so close to the Imperial City—unafraid of alarming the Emperor.

Jiang Feng was deeply curious.

He really wanted to know who, in Dragon Capital, could go toe-to-toe with Xiao Zhan and tangle with him near the Imperial City. But for safety’s sake, Jiang Feng didn’t dare go see for himself. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"King Xiao, what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you driving this old servant crazy in the middle of the night?"

"Everyone says you, Liu Jinhu, are Celestial Profound Fourth. People all call you Fourth Uncle with respect. Well, tonight I want to see for myself just what this Fourth Uncle is made of."

Inside the fluctuations of those two auras,

Jiang Feng vaguely heard two voices.

One was flustered and a bit effeminate.

The other was bold and domineering, completely unreasonable.

"So it really is Xiao Zhan. Who could possibly fight him without falling behind?"

Jiang Feng recognized it.

One of those voices was indeed Xiao Zhan.

He was utterly shaken.

"Dragon Capital truly is full of hidden masters. It’s not as simple as it looks. The Emperor can control Great Tang and set Xiao Zhan to guard the National Gate; obviously, there are even scarier trump cards behind the scenes. Innate Realm may be powerful, but it’s still no match for Imperial Authority?"
