Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 964 - 974: Killing with a Borrowed Knife

Almost as soon as Chu Feng disappeared, the figures of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor and others appeared successively.

They were determined to obtain the Blood Ginseng and would not let Chu Feng escape.

A cold glance swept around, but they did not find Chu Feng. They only saw the female sword slave who was beside Chu Feng here.

"Wretched maid, where is your master?" the Panlong Heavenly Emperor asked Shishi fiercely.

"I don't know," Shishi retreated in fright.

These people exuded overpowering evil energy and their strength was terrifyingly strong.

They were like towering mountains, causing one's heart to tremble.

"Not speaking? It seems I need to show you some severity before you honestly confess," the Panlong Heavenly Emperor's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty glow.

"This shop's rules do not allow anyone to fight inside! Guests, please do not break the shop's rules," Manager Bai said with a smile, blocking the path of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor who wanted to wreak havoc.

"You old fool, dare to meddle in my affairs? Are you courting death?" The Panlong Heavenly Emperor was a lawless and evil character.

He dared to kill even his father; towards a shopkeeper of a grocery store, he naturally had no good attitude.

A powerful aura burst out, and he stretched his hand toward Manager Bai.

"This is not a place for you to act insolent!" The young grocery store clerk, Ah-Jiu, unexpectedly turned out to be an adept martial artist with hidden abilities.

Without any visible movement, Ah-Jiu slightly flashed and grasped the right hand of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor was shocked and furious, desperately wanting to withdraw his right hand.

But it felt as if it was locked by iron clamps, unable to move an inch.

With another exertion, his arm felt as if electrocuted, tingling and swelling in pain, rendering him powerless. What terrified the Panlong Heavenly Emperor even more was that his Sword Essence had been sealed at some unknown point.

He couldn't move it at all.

Some experts from the Undying Tomb seemed to recognize the danger and involuntarily retreated, moving toward the shop's door.

If anything went amiss, these people would flee immediately.

Although the Panlong Heavenly Emperor's strength was far inferior to theirs, this grocery store clerk could easily restrain the Panlong Heavenly Emperor. The yet-to-act Manager Bai was likely even more formidable.

"Ah-Jiu, do not be rude to the guests." Manager Bai didn't immediately stop Ah-Jiu but only spoke after Ah-Jiu had almost finished with the punishment.

Ah-Jiu snorted coldly and pushed the Panlong Heavenly Emperor backward.

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor involuntarily retreated five or six steps before stabilizing himself. He looked at Ah-Jiu with an extremely shocked expression.

He probably didn't expect a mere grocery store clerk to be so terrifying.

"Chase him, that boy can't have gone far!" Lord Corpse Blood's icy voice sounded, leading several top experts out of the grocery store in pursuit.

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor dared not be presumptuous anymore and immediately followed in pursuit.

"Thank you both for your help!"

She immediately thanked Manager Bai and Ah-Jiu.

Shishi let out a long sigh of relief, now feeling safe but starting to worry about Chu Feng's safety.

Shortly after the Panlong Heavenly Emperor and others left, Scholar Qin Jian also emerged. Without saying anything, he left the grocery store and headed straight for the agreed courtyard with Chu Feng.

...

After leaving the grocery store, Chu Feng flew swiftly, heading directly to the courtyard he agreed upon with Scholar Qin Jian.

The distance of a mile was merely five hundred meters.

For Chu Feng, a master at the Three-star Sword God Level, it was just a blink of an eye.

He even deliberately waited for a few breaths for the Panlong Heavenly Emperor and others behind him.

Having a free assassin at one's disposal, there's no reason not to use it.

Scholar Qin Jian wanted to obtain the Soul Loss Sand from Chu Feng. Would he be willing to watch as the Panlong Heavenly Emperor and others killed Chu Feng?

A house painted in red appeared ahead.

It looked somewhat dilapidated.

Chu Feng didn't care about these things and acted as a gentleman on the wall. He didn't even knock on the gate, leaping over the wall into the courtyard.

Before entering the courtyard, he already scanned it with his Divine Sense.

There was no one inside.

After entering the courtyard, looking around, wild grass grew rampant, and fallen leaves covered the ground, leaving almost no place to step. It was obvious that this courtyard hadn't been inhabited for a long time.

Yet, one could still vaguely see that the scenery within the courtyard was quite well-arranged.

The balance of shades was suitable, elegant yet ordinary, seeking tranquility amidst chaos.

It suggested that the owner of the courtyard must be a master of high standing.

Under the large tree on the left side of the courtyard, there was a stone zither stand. One could sit cross-legged before the zither stand, singing and drinking alone beneath the moon. One could also gently pluck the strings to dispel emotions and melancholy.

Whizz, whizz, whizz!

Six figures leaped into the courtyard, surrounding Chu Feng.

"Haha, Chu Feng, now let's see where you can run! Beneath heaven or earth, no one can save you now. Today, you are doomed to die," the Panlong Heavenly Emperor was the most excited among all.

Surrounding Chu Feng, with the help of Lord Corpse Blood from the Undying Tomb.

Even if Chu Feng had abilities that reached the skies, he absolutely could not escape.

"I say, you better leave now! This is not a place you can stay. If you're late, and the owner of this courtyard gets angry, none of you will survive,"

Surrounded by so many powerful enemies, Chu Feng remained utterly unflustered.

Instead, he arrogantly advised these formidable enemies to quickly scram.

"Hand over the Blood Ginseng, and you can be spared," Lord Corpse Blood's voice commanded coldly.

Chu Feng's eyes were fixed on the last black-clad figure.

This person appeared to be an elder.

During the auction, Chu Feng found this elder somewhat familiar. Due to the inability to extend his Divine Sense, he couldn't verify at the time.

Now, he finally had the chance to unveil the mystery.

"I will never hand over the Blood Ginseng to you. Master Wei, no need to hide anymore," one of Chu Feng's father's murderers was Master Wei.

The other enemies had already been vanquished.

Only Master Wei had kept evading justice. Last time, at the Longevity Hall of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country, Chu Feng faced off against Master Wei. Due to the vast difference in strength, Chu Feng only managed to seize one of Master Wei's refined corpses.

In the end, Master Wei managed to escape.

This was also because the experts from the Vermilion Bird Royal Family didn't want to fight to the death.

"Ha ha ha... I didn't expect that even in this disguise, you could recognize me!" Master Wei removed his hat, revealing an old, withered face. Wrinkles were everywhere, and his eyes danced like ghostly fire.

This man was utterly ruthless, stopping at nothing to achieve his goals.

He was an absolutely evil figure.

"Where is the refined corpse of mine? I've heard you've helped it ascend to the Corpse King Fourth Layer, even evolving into a double-headed and four-armed form! Today, I'm here to reclaim it," Master Wei said calmly.

The refined corpse was crafted by Master Wei himself, and all the restrictions were placed by him.

If Chu Feng hadn't merged a Demon Soul or co-refined a corpse with the Founding Emperor of the Azure Dragon Royal Family, he might have truly fallen under Master Wei's control.
