Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 386 - 396: Heavy Troops Besiege

"State Preceptor, please rise, I’m afraid I cannot save the lives of your family," Chu Feng flatly refused.

"Unable to save them?" The heart of Beixie National Master turned cold. These days, he had witnessed the ruthless cruelty of the Beixie Emperor, and despite trying everything, he was powerless.

He could only watch helplessly as his family was locked in the Heavenly Prison, awaiting execution.

If he had not run out of options, the Beixie National Master wouldn’t have sought help from Chu Feng.

On his way here, the Beixie National Master believed that as long as Chu Feng agreed, he could easily save his family.

This was because of the miraculous and extraordinary capabilities that the young man before him had left an indelible impression on him.

Moreover, the Beixie Emperor was currently poisoned by Chu Feng and had yet to find a cure.

It was for this reason that he deeply believed that just a word from Chu Feng would make the Beixie Emperor obediently comply.

Now, Chu Feng was telling him that he was incapable of rescuing his kin.

Instantly, this plunged the Beixie National Master into a deep abyss.

"Lord Chu, how can you not save them? The cold-blooded Beixie Emperor is still under the effects of your poison and hasn’t found a cure yet. His life is in your hands. To release my family, it would only mean a word from you."

The Beixie National Master clearly didn’t believe it.

"Hmph, if you don’t believe it, you are free to try for yourself. I will give you a token, and then write a note for the Beixie Emperor to release your family, and you try to deliver it to the Beixie Emperor."

"If he releases your family, there is no need to thank me. You managed it on your own."

"If he refuses to release them, then you must lurk in the shadows and patiently wait. After a month, I will take action myself to rescue your family."

Chu Feng took off a token and wrote a note, handing both to the Beixie National Master.

Previously, Chu Feng had written two Blood Letters, so he believed the Beixie Emperor would recognize his handwriting immediately.

"Thank you, Lord Chu, for your righteous aid!" After receiving them, the Beixie National Master prepared to kneel and kowtow again.

It was because in these days, he deeply understood what difficulties meant, and thus in the face of reality, he had learned to bow down.

Chu Feng was neither his kin nor his relative, but was willing to help him like this, and he had to be thankful.

"Go quickly! Remember, if the Beixie Emperor refuses to release them, there is no need to panic, just wait patiently for a month, and I have my ways to make him release your family. During this time, your family will not be in danger. With the Beixie Emperor’s cautiousness and love for life, he will definitely not harm your family."

"One thing you must be careful about. In front of others, you must tell them you are my, Chu Feng’s, man. Otherwise, your family will be in danger."

After saying this, Chu Feng waved his hand, urging the Beixie National Master to hurry and save his family.

The Beixie National Master left with tears of gratitude, swiftly departing on his sword.

"Poison Eye Dragon King, you will come with me to the Jianyun Dynasty to rescue my Senior Brother," Chu Feng instructed the Poison Eye Dragon King.

The poison skill of the Poison Eye Dragon King is unmatched.

Bringing him was tantamount to bringing an army.

"Brother Chu, my two sworn brothers also want to serve you! I wonder if they can join as well?" As soon as the Poison Eye Dragon King finished speaking, the Evil Tumor Monk and Smiling Maitreya appeared.

However, both of them were staring fearfully at the three Supreme Elders of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, beings of Sword God Level.

A single hand could annihilate them.

No wonder they were afraid.

"If you wish to serve me, you are welcome. However, I am a bit eccentric. For those who are absolutely loyal, there are many benefits, and I will focus on cultivating them. For those who are fickle and indecisive, not only will I not cultivate them, but they might even be executed."

"Consider it carefully on your own," Chu Feng sternly said.

The two middle-ranked members of the Northern Territory’s Three Fierce Men performed unsatisfactorily in the Thunder Cave, disappointing Chu Feng.

Now, he was willing to keep these two under his wing merely because they had assisted him in the Thunder Cave.

As Chu Feng said, he and these two men were neither relatives nor close friends. Helping was a matter of sentiment; not helping was simply proper conduct.

It’s not that he blamed them for being unkind.

"No need to think about it anymore, we are not the kind of people who are indecisive and disloyal." The Evil Tumor Monk blurted out without a second thought.

However, he thought to himself, if it weren’t because this youngster had some connections with Chen Dazhong of the Treasure Pill Pavilion, why would I consider being subordinate to a mere Great Sword Master?

They were all of Sword Saint level.

Smiling Maitreya always had a smile on his face, and no one could see through his heart.

"Since you’ve said it yourselves, that you aren’t deceitful or disloyal, then come with me to the Jianyun Dynasty! You now have a good opportunity to prove yourselves."

Chu Feng smiled indifferently.

After all, these two men were working for him for free. If they were loyal, naturally he could offer them some benefits.

If they had other intentions, he would use them as unpaid labor.

...

The atmosphere in the Royal Capital of the Jianyun Dynasty was extremely tense. Not long ago, Minister Wu of the Ministry of War initiated a coup, which, unfortunately, was exposed and brutally suppressed.

Currently, only Chu Jianlan of the Sword King Mansion, the Eldest Prince, still led the remnants, desperately holding out in Blood Sun City.

However, due to the lack of supplies and reinforcements, it was only a matter of time before the city would fall.

Because the coup led by Minister Wu was baseless and lacked support from the people, it was not supported by the populace.

Chu Jianlan was, after all, a high-ranking general promoted by Minister Wu. His current situation and status were equally awkward.

Rebels, no matter in which dynasty, are despised by all.

This is why many wise rebels would first garner support and reputation before revolting, so as to win the support of the common people and scholars.

Perhaps it was bad luck or short-sightedness on Chu Jianlan’s part that he overlooked this factor.

Of course, being a subordinate general under Minister Wu at that time, he dared not show any ambition or intention of independence. Under these constraints, it was immensely difficult for him to garner legitimate support.

If it had been Chu Feng, he might have had a way to solve it.

It only goes to show that there are differences between individuals.

The Sword King Mansion was now surrounded by heavy troops, and Chu Jianlan’s wife, along with everyone in the mansion, were trapped inside.

A ferocious military general broke into the Sword King Mansion with several trusted aides.

"Miss Qiao, you better cooperate and persuade your husband to surrender immediately!" The fierce military general was aligned with Prince Jianyun’s faction.

Currently, the situation of the Crown Prince was not as good as imagined.

He urgently needed to quell this rebellion to prove his capability. Then, he could ascend to the throne successfully.

However, Chu Jianlan’s stubborn resistance made it difficult for him to conquer Blood Sun City.

Having no choice, the Crown Prince turned to Miss Qiao for a solution. She was Chu Jianlan’s Achilles’ heel.

"Just give up on that idea!" Miss Qiao firmly resisted.

"You wretched woman, don’t push your luck! I’ve long heard that the Great Princess Consort of the Sword King Mansion is stunningly beautiful; today, I must see for myself." In his annoyance, the bearded military general lunged at Miss Qiao.
