Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 193 - 146: Fighting from the Imperial City to Outside the Dragon Capital (Part 3)

Chapter 193: Chapter 146: Fighting from the Imperial City to Outside the Dragon Capital (Part 3)

"What was that ’Celestial Profound’ Xiao Zhan mentioned just now? Could it be a Realm above the True Essence Realm?"

Jiang Feng felt like he’d gained a lot today.

He focused all his attention, operating the Tai Chi Longevity Skill, letting himself merge with the heavens and earth, able to sense the fighting in the distance, or at least hear their roars.

Unfortunately, the distance kept growing farther.

The two of them were deliberately fighting their way out of Dragon Capital.

Looks like they’re both afraid of making a scene outside the Imperial City for too long and pissing off the Emperor.

Jiang Feng really wanted to follow them and take a look.

In the end, he chose to return to Willow Alley.

He hadn’t known what the hell Xiao Zhan was rushing off to do earlier, but now that he’d seen him go looking for a strong opponent to spar with, Jiang Feng understood—Xiao Ran definitely hadn’t woken up yet.

At least now, Xiao Zhan wouldn’t be coming after him anymore.

"That guy should be a top fighter on the Second Prince’s side."

"No wonder, being the Emperor’s own son, everyone around him is no ordinary character. But the fact that Xiao Zhan dares to challenge him, he’s gotta have something up his sleeve."

Lying on the bed, Jiang Feng muttered to himself.

After thinking carefully, he quickly figured out that Xiao Ran hadn’t woken up, and Xiao Zhan was pissed off and probably looking to vent on one of the Second Prince’s men. He felt super lucky—thank god his identity wasn’t exposed; otherwise, being hunted down by two Xiao Zhans, that ending was easy to imagine.

"Xiao Ran must have survived. Even if, for some reason, he can’t tell Xiao Zhan the truth yet, he’ll definitely find a way sooner or later. Otherwise, if I could completely dodge both Xiao Zhans, why’d my Fortune Points only go up by a little over twenty thousand?"

"Man, I really wish Xiao Ran would just die already."

Jiang Feng still couldn’t relax.

Just what was Xiao Ran’s situation right now? He needed to find time to investigate properly.

"The problem definitely lies with that Immortal Master from Yun Gui Sect. If only they could tell me directly."

Jiang Feng thought to himself.

A little while later.

The two entangled auras, getting farther and farther away, disappeared completely from his senses. It seemed they had already left Dragon Capital, brawling up a storm outside the city.

In the meantime,

Jiang Feng kept sensing streaks of Innate aura chasing after Xiao Zhan and his opponent—it looked like everyone was rushing over for a piece of the action.

And those auras,

Many were bursting out from the Imperial City side,

Or racing out from noble family mansions and the Demon-Suppressing Martial Arts Hall.

Besides that,

Jiang Feng even sensed three auras shooting up from regular civilian areas, also chasing after Xiao Zhan and his opponent.

He was stunned.

Dragon Capital really deserved to be called the Great Tang Capital—a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, way more complicated than it looked on the surface.

He thought again about that one-eyed old man running a stall in the Black Market, and so he took out the "Three-legged Body Technique" book again. He’d already entered it into his system panel, and just activating it at Beginner level had already cost him fifteen thousand Fortune Points.

Reading through the Body Technique Mantra once more,

Jiang Feng didn’t see those golden footprints appear this time.

"Maybe I should find another chance to visit the Black Market and see if he’s still there?"

Jiang Feng was really curious about the one-eyed old man.

Especially the guy’s power—it felt totally unfathomable. He recalled when Jin Muchuan’s nephew tried to snatch the Body Technique in front of the old man, and got taken down by him, sent to Black Market staff, and thrown into Zhenbei Prison. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Jiang Feng kept feeling that the one-eyed old man was not only insanely powerful, but probably had some earth-shattering background too.

Anyway, as his strength kept growing,

Jiang Feng didn’t feel any more relaxed, and actually thought he’d need to keep being even more cautious in the future. This Dragon Capital was way scarier than he’d ever imagined.

After dawn,

Jiang Feng got up as usual, boiled water and cooked breakfast. When he’d stuffed himself full, he bumped into Uncle Huo at the mouth of the alley, and the two of them headed off to Zhenbei Prison together.

Jiang Feng entered the third floor.

As usual, he gave Chief Wang and his men a speech, reminded them of the rules again, then took them to patrol their sector, and finally returned to the office to sort out paperwork.

He didn’t check on Han Dong’s courtyard, nor did he ask if Han Dong was back yet.

Right now, all he wanted was to be invisible—best if no one noticed him at all.

In the afternoon,

Just before dusk,

Han Dong finally returned.

"Greetings, Lord Director of the Prison!"

Everyone who saw her hurried to salute.

Jiang Feng happened to bump into Han Dong head-on.

Just like everyone else, he quickly saluted.

Han Dong looked pretty upset.

It was like she didn’t even see anyone, walking straight past them all.

Xiao Ran hadn’t woken up, just staring blankly at the sky all day. She’d talked to him an entire day with zero reaction. That dumb, wooden expression gave him a seriously bad feeling.

She honestly wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to anybody.

"Sister Dong acting like this—Xiao Ran must’ve gotten into trouble. Even if he’s alive, he probably isn’t doing great."

Once Han Dong left, Jiang Feng muttered to himself internally.

Though Han Dong’s look made him a little sorry for her, not being threatened by Xiao Ran anymore was honestly a huge relief.

He was sure what he did yesterday had worked.

Otherwise Han Dong wouldn’t be so out of it, ignoring all her subordinates.

But who knew what condition Xiao Ran was really in?

Anyway, with everything fine for now, Jiang Feng felt a lot more cheerful and even got stricter with Chief Wang and the others—he wasn’t about to let them ruin his mood over some little thing.

As soon as it was time to change shifts,

Jiang Feng asked Uncle Huo out, went to the market to buy three jin of tofu and half a jin of pork head, and told Uncle Huo to bring some of his own wine over so they could drink together that night.
