Chapter 398: Chapter 408 Evil Dragon Pearl

After the torches were lit, Prince Jianyun finally saw clearly the personal soldiers surrounding Chu Feng. Each of them removed their helmets, their faces indifferent, exuding an extreme coldness.

"True Disciple Qiu Tai, Zang Jianfeng, Pu Fazheng..." Prince Jianyun’s face instantly turned pale.

Trembling, he barked fiercely, "Chu Feng, you had clearly left the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, so how are you able to mobilize so many True Disciples of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect to serve you?"

Having trained in the Ten Thousand Sword Sect for many years, Prince Jianyun was very familiar with the sect’s personnel.

Looking at those familiar faces, Prince Jianyun found it hard to speak smoothly. His entire body was convulsing.

"Take another look at who these three are," Chu Feng said with a mocking expression.

"Supreme... Supreme Elder..." When Prince Jianyun saw the aged faces of the three, he collapsed on the ground in fright.

If just seeing Chu Feng accompanied by a few hundred Great Sword Masters and a few Sword Saints from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect was scary enough to intimidate Prince Jianyun, the appearance of three Supreme Elders shattered all his will and confidence.

Not even the thought of resistance dared to cross his mind.

Because each of the three Supreme Elders was a powerhouse of the Sword God Level.

Any one of them could overturn the Jianyun Dynasty. If three acted together, not just the Jianyun Dynasty, even strong nations like the Northern Beixie Empire would have to change rulers and dynasties.

Those at the Sword God Level possess absolute power.

"I would request the Supreme Elders to capture Prince Jianyun alive for me. I still have important matters for which I need to interrogate him," said Chu Feng to the three Supreme Elders with respect.

The three Supreme Elders consented to follow him to the Jianyun Dynasty to seek revenge, which was an enormous honor for him. If Chu Feng was ungrateful and acted like a wolf with a puffed-up tail, bossing around the Supreme Elders, ordering them about,

Commanding them as one would a servant,

The three Supreme Elders would likely, at most, ensure his safety for the sake of the sect. As for assisting Chu Feng with these matters, there would be no discussion.

The status of a Supreme Elder within a sect is extremely high to begin with.

Even the Sect Master must treat them with respect and politeness.

Anyone who could cultivate to the Sword God Realm has undoubtedly gone through countless hardships. Each of these elders might have once been the top genius disciple of the sect just like Chu Feng,

Then, after overcoming many challenges, they ascend to the position of Sect Master.

Ultimately, their cultivation broke through to the Sword God Realm, and they retired behind the scenes to become the Supreme Elders of the sect.

"I’ll go!"

Of the three Supreme Elders, two remained to protect Chu Feng. One of them flashed and disappeared from sight.

When he reappeared, he already had Prince Jianyun and another enemy in his grasp.

"This man seems to hold a high position beside Prince Jianyun, so this elder conveniently captured him as well!" The Supreme Elder threw both of them in front of Chu Feng. They were both subdued and couldn’t move at all.

"Much appreciated!" said Chu Feng, giving thanks with a salute.

"Master, this old man is the Crown Prince’s Tutor of the Jianyun Dynasty, known as Shangqiu. He is Prince Jianyun’s number one strategist," Li Shishi reported to Chu Feng after examining the other captive.

Chu Feng had long known of Shangqiu’s reputation; this man was quite capable. He was the teacher of the Eastern Palace Crown Prince, the future State Preceptor.

"Speak, where is the State Preceptor who aided you in seizing my Nine Yang Sword Veins back then?" Chu Feng grabbed Prince Jianyun by the neck and demanded coldly.

"Pah!"

"To the victor belong the spoils. If you’re going to kill, just kill! As for everything else, save your energy!"

Prince Jianyun saw that this was a dead end, a path beyond salvation. There could be no more turning points. However, he held his ground resolutely, prepared to embrace death with dignity.

"Not talking? No matter, I have a myriad of ways to make you spill everything you’re hiding!" Chu Feng pointed a finger at Prince Jianyun.

A wisp of the Nine Yang Strange Fire, thin as a thread, invaded Prince Jianyun’s body and began burning his internal organs.

Feeling as if his insides were ablaze was the exact sensation he was experiencing now.

At first, Prince Jianyun managed to grit his teeth and play the tough guy. But soon, his handsome face twisted in agony, his body trembled, and big drops of sweat emerged from his forehead. He could no longer bear it.

"Stop, aren’t you just trying to find out the whereabouts of the State Preceptor, Master Wei?"

"The Crown Prince has no knowledge, but I do," said the Crown Prince’s Tutor, Shangqiu, hastily speaking out to relieve the Prince’s suffering.

"Speak! Where is that old villain?" Master Wei, the State Preceptor, was also directly involved in forcing Chu Feng’s mother to her death. However, this man was deeply mysterious, and it seemed that he had only served as the State Preceptor in the Jianyun Dynasty for three years before he disappeared.

It was the year when Chu Feng was two that Master Wei vanished without a trace.

This person was known for the Secret Technique of Pulse Seizing, and his strength was unfathomable. He was an extremely formidable and enigmatic character.

"There’s no harm in telling you, Master Wei left the Jianyun Dynasty long ago. He even left Dan State. He once said, serving as the State Preceptor in the Jianyun Dynasty was only for gaining a certain treasure."

Shangqiu’s voice drifted somewhat ethereally.

When mentioning Master Wei, his expression held awe and a hint of admiration.

"A treasure? What treasure?"

Chu Feng couldn’t help but press the question insistently. Li Shishi was exceptionally skilled in gathering intelligence. Even she couldn’t find Master Wei’s whereabouts, which spoke volumes about this man’s exceptionality.

One could only wonder what kind of treasure could compel Master Wei to serve the Jianyun Dynasty for three years.

Shangqiu’s gaze flickered, and uncertainty clouded his face.

Clearly, the treasure was significant, and he was reluctant to disclose it.

"Speak!"

Chu Feng pressed the Demon Slaying Sword against Shangqiu’s throat. As the tip of the sword slightly moved forward, it pierced the skin and blood began to flow.

The throat is a vital part of the human body; a stab there guarantees death.

Faced with the threat of death, Shangqiu dared not hesitate any longer and confessed, "The treasure is called the Evil Dragon Pearl, which your father intended to use to break through to the Sword Saint realm. Master Wei took a fancy to it and once tried to buy it from your father, but he refused to sell."

Chu Feng was deeply shaken. He could hardly believe it was true.

"Master, his words are likely to be true. According to the information I’ve gathered, indeed a mysterious figure attempted to forcibly buy a treasure from Prince Jian. However, he was refused."

"At that time, Prince Jian even deployed troops in a soldier formation to repel that person."

Li Shishi reported the facts to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng was suspicious of the Crown Prince’s Tutor but had great trust in Li Shishi. Thus, he partially believed the story.

"Continue, lay out everything you know. I can guarantee that your family and clan will be spared from death," Chu Feng demanded coldly.

Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, Shangqiu’s face unexpectedly showed a slight relief in his smile.

He smiled bitterly, looking at Chu Feng and said, "I believe you!" Then, Shangqiu proceeded to narrate the events of that year.

"Master Wei failed to purchase the Evil Dragon Pearl from your father. Later on, he could only rely on Emperor Jianyun’s power. Coincidentally, Emperor Jianyun had long been wary of your father. The two struck a deal immediately."
