Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 229 - 157: Evacuation and Retreat

Jiang Feng didn’t want to get involved with too many people.

Especially not to let anyone know that he had just come into contact with Uncle Fu.

Sensing a female Innate approaching, and coming swiftly from Tiger Fang Manor, he quickly handed the girl in his arms to Uncle Fu and immediately used his body technique to leave this troublesome place.

It wasn’t that Jiang Feng was afraid of what the woman could do to him.

With his strength, he could easily handle her, but it’d bring other trouble. Now, with Uncle Fu and Han Dong’s help, he’d finally shaken off various dangers and managed to stay out of things—he didn’t want to get entangled in anything else.

"Hoo!"

With his body technique activated—

Jiang Feng darted off like a monkey, heading far away. He deliberately took the opposite direction and didn’t turn back toward Dragon Capital.

"Heh heh!"

Uncle Fu was amused by Jiang Feng’s actions.

"Waa—wu wu!"

The little girl in his arms was also woken by the commotion.

"Don’t be scared, Daddy’s taking you for a trip outside the city."

Uncle Fu patted the girl’s back, then swiftly moved southward.

"Who is it?"

The female Innate arrived with her sword, reaching Jiang Feng’s previous location.

"Such strong Primordial Power fluctuations."

"Did all the Innate powerhouses in Dragon Capital come out?"

"Who were those two just now?"

The sword in her hand bore the words Demon-Suppressing Martial Arts Hall. She looked around, watching Uncle Fu disappearing into the distance, and the other figure swinging into the forest like a monkey. She frowned slightly, but did not give chase.

It was as if she knew that even if she caught up, she wouldn’t be their match.

Jiang Feng circled once through the forest.

He exited via the South City Gate, and returned through the East City Gate.

By the time he got back to Willow Alley, dawn was near.

He checked his Fortune Point changes.

Fortune: 162,351

His Fortune Points increased by over four thousand. It seemed that even if he’d run into the female Innate, there wouldn’t have been any real danger. He was in disguise—Uncle Fu could recognize him immediately, but not necessarily the female Innate.

It’s just, if she recognized Uncle Fu as a Demon Sect follower and reported it to someone from Yun Gui Sect, it would surely cause trouble for Jiang Feng.

The next day.

Jiang Feng returned to Zhenbei Prison.

Compared to yesterday—

Zhenbei Prison was still bustling at this moment.

Scholar Chaihu led people to dig through Uncle Fu’s dwelling, searching every inch, and had the Seventh Prince search in and outside Zhenbei Prison. They believed Uncle Fu was hiding there for a reason.

Otherwise, why would he have hidden here for over twenty years?

Even Jiang Feng thought so as well.

He was especially curious why Uncle Fu was in such a hurry to kill Li Zhang and Lin Yuanfu, and why he chose to strike inside Zhenbei Prison. Was his goal to lure Yun Gui Sect’s Immortal Masters into the prison and catch them off guard?

It sort of made sense.

But Jiang Feng also felt it was a stretch.

Uncle Fu didn’t seem like a reckless person, and in the end, he hadn’t managed to kill Scholar Chaihu.

Why he did all this, probably only Uncle Fu knew.

People kept coming and going inside the prison.

Scholar Chaihu had already reported to the Sect, sending for help. Over these days, he stayed in Zhenbei Prison, living in Li Zhang’s courtyard.

Clearly, he might already know why Uncle Fu was hiding in Zhenbei Prison.

Jiang Feng ran back and forth as usual between Zhenbei Prison and Willow Alley. These days, he also secretly visited Chaoyang Alley to check on the nanny looking after Uncle Fu’s adopted daughter.

What surprised Jiang Feng was that after the girl disappeared, the nanny wasn’t the least bit panicked; she was even packing to move out of Chaoyang Alley.

On the third night—

Jiang Feng saw the nanny hire a carriage to leave Dragon Capital. She wasn’t just moving out of Chaoyang Alley—the woman was outright leaving the city, as if Uncle Fu had told her beforehand to leave as soon as the girl went missing.

"What on earth is Uncle Fu up to?"

Jiang Feng was baffled.

Logically, the nanny had been perfectly safe these last days; even if the girl had stayed with her, nothing much would have happened. Yet Uncle Fu had insisted he take the girl out of the city that very night.

And such a simple thing—

Somehow ended with all the blame falling on him.

He couldn’t tell if it was out of kindness or for some other reason.

Jiang Feng just couldn’t figure it out.

He kept feeling Uncle Fu was acting strangely.

The next day.

Jiang Feng returned to Zhenbei Prison again.

Bringing Chief Wang and a few others, he patrolled their jurisdiction, then went back to the office to review inmate files. After a short while, a powerful aura descended on Zhenbei Prison, headed straight for Scholar Chaihu.

It was the old Daoist attendant accompanying the Seventh Prince.

Jiang Feng had dealt with him in the Black Market, obtaining from him a cultivation technique surpassing Celestial Extreme, translated from Demon Slaying Skill and the Five Poison Grass technique.

That old Daoist had visited multiple times lately.

The first was to check out the fight marks in Li Zhang’s room—when he saw the Loulan Slash, he seemed to have found his target and left excitedly.

The next few visits, he went to see Scholar Chaihu, apparently with important matters to discuss.

Jiang Feng found it strange, and grew even more wary.

When the shift was over—

He left Zhenbei Prison.

Just as he walked out, Jiang Feng sensed several Innate powerhouses around the prison. It was as if they’d locked Zhenbei Prison down, like something important was inside.

"Liu Jinhu!"

At the same time—

From a distant pavilion, Jiang Feng spotted a familiar figure.

Liu Jinhu.

They’d fought on Black Iron Mountain before, so Jiang Feng remembered Liu Jinhu clearly.
