Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 230 - 157: Evacuate and Withdraw (Part 2)

He clearly remembered that on the day Liu Jinhu entered Zhenbei Prison, he ran towards the South City Gate and hadn’t returned since, as if he had been heading south for several days, so why did he suddenly return?

Moreover, he was stationed outside Zhenbei Prison.

He glanced over, then shifted his gaze, leaving together with several prison guards.

In the distance, Liu Jinhu frowned slightly.

Moments ago, in his daze, he felt a powerful gaze; when he realized it, that gaze had already vanished. But recently, Zhenbei Prison was full of strong people, not only experts from the Imperial City but even people from the Yun Gui Sect, so he didn’t think much about it.

"Even Liu Jinhu has returned."

"So many innate powerhouses appearing."

"Even the immortal master from the Yun Gui Sect is staying inside Zhenbei Prison. If nothing were happening, I wouldn’t believe it."

"I need to find an excuse to leave."

On the way back, Jiang Feng continually thought.

He clearly sensed that there must be something or someone, or even rare treasures inside Zhenbei Prison attracting all those people.

With so many innate powerhouses gathering here, it seems like a great battle is about to begin.

Jiang Feng didn’t want to be involved.

No matter what is attracting Liu Jinhu and the others, he must avoid it, or else if a battle occurs and he’s caught up in it, exposing his cultivation, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

"I’ll go find Captain Yang to request a few days’ leave."

Jiang Feng pondered before turning around and returning to Zhenbei Prison, where he found Yang Feng.

Normally, Jiang Feng wouldn’t request leave easily.

Now that things seemed off, and Han Dong wasn’t around, Jiang Feng felt a bit uneasy. Even if after taking leave something does happen and he is held accountable, it would be better than staying at Zhenbei Prison and possibly getting involved in a battle with numerous innate powerhouses, exposing his cultivation.

"You want to take leave and leave Dragon Capital for a while?"

"I just got the news today that I have an uncle who’s still alive. I’ve always lived alone, and if I can find him this time, I want to bring him back to Dragon Capital. It’s better than living alone no matter what."

Jiang Feng explained.

Following the memories of his past self, Jiang Feng knew that his original parents fled to Dragon Capital. His original father was smooth-tongued and, after a few years, managed to get a job at the prison, subsequently bringing the original owner in.

The original self also had an uncle exiled outside.

He figured the uncle might have already died several times over.

At this moment, pulling him out to take the heat was the best option; if he came back and others didn’t see his uncle return, it could be excused as having gone too late or being unable to find him.

"Oh, alright then! How long do you need? I’ll go find Officer Zhao to approve it for you."

Yang Feng didn’t think much, nor did he make things difficult for Jiang Feng. Han Dong’s brotherly identity made him always respectful towards Jiang Feng.

"The journey is long, it’ll take at least a month back and forth!"

Jiang Feng considered for a moment and said.

"A month, hmm... Commander Li and the others recently met with misfortune, and asking for an entire month is a bit tricky. But regardless of how tricky it is, I’ll have to try for your sake. Wait a moment, I’ll go find Officer Zhao. At worst, I’ll take a scolding from him."

Yang Feng pretended to be in a dilemma, then patted Jiang Feng’s shoulder, looking as if he was ready to go all out.

"Thank you, Captain Yang. I won’t forget this favor."

Jiang Feng hurriedly cupped his fist in thanks.

He could clearly hear that asking for a month off was actually not difficult for Yang Feng. Saying it was so hard was just to leave an impression.

"No worries, no worries. You go and wait for my news."

Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction and then went to find Officer Zhao to get the approval.

Now, the entire Zhenbei Prison.

Even Bao Longwei knew that Jiang Feng was highly regarded by Han Dong. The four no-spirit guidelines had become policies within Zhenbei Prison.

When Officer Zhao saw Jiang Feng’s leave request, he also didn’t think much and approved it directly.

Jiang Feng smoothly got a month’s leave.

He walked out of Zhenbei Prison, feeling much more relaxed. The leave he had requested was approved by Officer Zhao and would be passed up layer by layer, originally landing in Han Dong’s hands. Now that Han Dong wasn’t around, it would go to Bao Longwei and be recorded.

During this period.

Even if something earth-shattering happened at Zhenbei Prison, it wouldn’t concern him. If the Emperor were to pursue accountability afterward, that approved leave request would lessen much of his trouble, or he might not be held accountable at all.

To leave Dragon Capital for a month.

Before leaving.

Jiang Feng specifically instructed Chief Wang, Chief Ma, and Chief Feng, informing them that he would be out of town for a month and told them to act carefully and not cause trouble.

The three squad leaders all had expressions of reluctance.

It wasn’t an act.

They knew that, when Jiang Feng was at the prison, the tasks distributed to them were easier due to the consideration of those above towards Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng taking a month’s leave out of town might mean heavier responsibilities on their shoulders.

Although following Jiang Feng might not be profitable, life was indeed carefree and pleasant.

Now with Jiang Feng gone, they would be a bit unaccustomed.

After bidding farewell to the three squad leaders.

Jiang Feng specifically went to see Uncle Huo and bought two catties of pork head and three catties of white tofu, drinking a few cups with Uncle Huo. Before leaving, he instructed Uncle Huo not to casually go to Zhenbei Prison during this period and wait for his return to solidify work matters.

The next day.

Jiang Feng carried his baggage.

Amidst the gaze of Uncle Huo and Auntie Huo’s family, he walked towards the outside of the South City Gate. Their family watched as Jiang Feng left the city, disappearing into the bustling crowd.

On the first day of his leave.

At night.

A rugged man, just before the city gates closed, entered Dragon Capital with a merchant caravan.

The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, carrying an axe in his hands. He checked into a small tavern in the Dragon Capital civilian district.

At this time, the rugged man, having had his fill of food and drink, was soaking in a hot bath in his room. A coarse towel covered his face, and his whole body seemed to be released, gradually falling asleep in the bath.

When the water in the wooden barrel cooled.

The man got up, dried himself off, and changed into a clean yet somewhat creased black robe. Internally, he thought, "Let’s consider it a casual city patrol to see if there’s anything unusual near the prison."

The man was none other than Jiang Feng.

He intended to avoid not Dragon Capital but Zhenbei Prison. Although he didn’t want to get involved in the impending event, he was filled with curiosity about it, wanting to see exactly why the immortal master from Yun Gui Sect was staying inside Zhenbei Prison without leaving.

Liu Jinhu suddenly hurrying back, stationed outside the prison; overnight, more than a dozen innate powerhouses had encircled Zhenbei Prison. What exactly was going on?

What sort of thing or event could attract so many innate powerhouses?

In the dead of night.

Jiang Feng’s figure appeared on a tall building far behind Liu Jinhu and others. He hid in the building, closing his eyes to feel the changes in the power of heaven and earth towards Zhenbei Prison.

On the next day.

Two groups of people entered Dragon Capital one after another.

They both headed towards Zhenbei Prison.

All were people from Yun Gui Sect.

They seemed to have obtained the Emperor’s permission to freely enter and exit Zhenbei Prison.

Who knows what kind of tricks they were up to inside.

Another day passed.

People saw the forces of the Dali Temple, Dragon Capital Government Office, and even the Demon Suppression Bureau gathering at the gates of Zhenbei Prison. A large number of prisoners were cleared out and handed over to these three groups.

Bao Longwei personally commanded the entire process.

Chu Tianhe led the prison army, escorting the cleared prisoners to the Dali Temple, or Dragon Capital Government Office, or even the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Suddenly.

Outside Zhenbei Prison, prisoners and prisoner carts were piled up.

Some prisoners were chained together in a line, taken away by people from other prisons.

In just two days.

The prisoners inside Zhenbei Prison.

Whether on the first layer or the third, all personnel from the inside out were cleared and hurried out.

Even the prison guards were transferred to help other prisons, with some even receiving paid leave.

Chief Wang couldn’t help but exclaim, "I wonder if Prison Chief Jiang can still get his salary while on a month’s leave. Captain Yang just said that we can rest for at least ten to fifteen days, with paid leave, hahaha!"

Another two days passed.

This time even nearby residents outside Zhenbei Prison were largely cleared by the Forbidden Army.

And on this day.

Jiang Feng saw a cyclone appear above Zhenbei Prison.

Just as he was feeling astonished.

A gaze looked towards him.

Jiang Feng’s hair stood on end.

He turned back to look.

It was a familiar and powerful old acquaintance.
