Chapter 204: Chapter 204 Fenglei Sect Submits Chapter 204: Chapter 204 Fenglei Sect Submits âFour⊠over four hundred days?â Duan Wuqing exclaimed in shock after hearing this.
Even as a cultivator of the Seven Layers of the Yuandan Realm, Duan Wuqing, resilient as he was, dared not imagine what he would become after more than four hundred days.
Seeing Duan Wuqingâs dumbfounded expression, the soldiers couldnât help but snicker to themselves.
âYour Highness, donât listen to their nonsense, itâs not that cruel. Once your physical body reaches a certain level, you can start cultivating the Supreme Body,â Chi Huang said with a laugh.
âThatâs a relief, if you guys really beat me for over four hundred days, I might actually lose my life,â Duan Wuqing breathed a sigh of relief.
âHaha!â The soldiers immediately burst into laughter.
âYour Highness, with your talent, a few months of cultivation should definitely allow you to break through to the Ninth Layer of the Yuandan Realm,â Chi Huang said with conviction.
âBreak through to the Nine Layers of the Yuan Dan Realm?â Duan Wuqingâs eyes instantly filled with fervor.
If it were up to Duan Wuqing to cultivate on his own, he would definitely not have such confidence. The higher the cultivation level, the harder it was to advance, and this was something Duan Wuqing was very aware of.
But Chi Huang was certain that in a few months, Duan Wuqing would be able to break through to the Ninth Layer of the Yuandan Realm, which made Duan Wuqing wholeheartedly believe and eagerly anticipate.
What Duan Wuqing looked forward to even more was how powerful the Supreme Body was, and what terrifying aspects lay within the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower.
The sudden surge in cultivation of the Sky Shadow Cavalry and the Black Flag Army was definitely no coincidence; there must be some trick to it.
âChi Huang, Iâll leave Wuqing in your hands,â Feng Wuchen said as he looked at Chi Huang.
âDonât worry, Grand Commander, Iâll take good care of His Highness,â Chi Huang said cheerfully, his eyes gleefully looking at Duan Wuqing.
âThis is bad! That kid Chi Huang is too ruthless, the prince is going to suffer,â Huanyang and the others said, showing sympathy.
âThank you, sorry for the trouble,â Duan Wuqing said as he made a fist and palm salute.
âYour Highness, donât thank him just yet, youâll have a tough time ahead,â Liu Qingyang said with a strange smile.
Sky Shadow shook his head and said, âChi Huang is notoriously vicious.â
âLetâs go and see the Sect Master of Fenglei Sect,â Feng Wuchen said indifferently as he took Ling Xiaoxiaoâs hand and strode towards the front courtyard, with the crowd quickly following behind.
âThe Sect Master of Fenglei Sect?â
âThat old geezer is at the Feng residence? Whatâs he doing here?â
âHmph! He came at the right time! The next step is to annihilate Fenglei Sect!â
The soldiers were surprised and angry, all declaring that they would wipe out the Fenglei Sect.
Making out that Feng Wuchen and the others were emerging from the back courtyard, Zhang Tianran and his companions felt even more terrified and despaired.
Zhang Tianran and his companions couldnât fathom how, just moments before, the Feng residence had been very quiet, and now, suddenly, there were so many people.
What was even more terrifying was that over four hundred soldiers of the Sky Shadow Cavalry and the Black Flag Army were all there at the Feng residence.
With the level of cultivation that Zhang Tianran and the others possessed, how could they not detect the presence of such iron-blooded energy?
âZhang Tianran, youâve got some nerve, to come to Grand Commander Fengâs residence after all youâve done!â Huanyang shouted coldly, a fearsome aura of killing intent spreading around him.
âPavilion Master, allow me to kill them!â Chi Huang shouted coldly, readying himself to strike with the power of the Seven Layers of the Yuandan Realm.
âGrand Commander, spare us!â Seeing Feng Wuchen approaching, Zhang Tianran and his companions cried out in terror, kneeling without daring to stand.
âZhang Tianran, you sent the Great Elder of Fenglei Sect to seize the Grand Commanderâs tower and even wanted to kill the Grand Commander, and yet you have the audacity to beg for mercy?â Sky Shadow said contemptuously, his gaze fierce beyond measure.
Zhang Tianran said in fear, âGrand Commander, it was my shortsightedness, I should not have coveted your treasure. I hope the Grand Commander is magnanimous and spares us.â
âSpare you? You must be dreaming!â Chi Huang said with disdain, about to strike Zhang Tianran with a palm.
Just as Chi Huang was about to act, Feng Wuchen abruptly intervened.
With a detached gaze at Zhang Tianran, Feng Wuchen said, âI heard that youâve been waiting for me at the Feng residence for nearly a month; it seems you are quite sincere.â
âGrand Commander, we sincerely repent and recognize our mistakes, and we hope the Grand Commander will spare the lineage of Fenglei Sect,â Zhang Tianran said, repeatedly kowtowing and begging.
The protector also said in fear, âYes, Grand Commander, we are truly repentant and wouldnât dare deceive the Grand Commander.â
âTruly repentant?â Feng Wuchen smirked slightly and said, âI believe you are sincere, otherwise, you wouldnât have come to me.â
âThank you, Grand Commander!â Zhang Tianran and his companions bowed repeatedly in thanks.
In the face of Feng Wuchen, even as high-ranking members of the Fenglei Sect, they couldnât care less about their dignity; staying alive was what mattered.
âDonât rush to thank me, I just said I believe you are truly repentant, I never said I would spare you. You should know the consequences of offending me,â Feng Wuchen said frostily.
At those words, the faces of Zhang Tianran and his companions changed drastically, filled with fear and despair.
âGrand Commander, please have mercy!â Zhang Tianran and his companions begged for their lives, their foreheads bleeding from repeated kowtowing.
Feng Wuchen conjured the Supreme Dragon God Sword, and a chilling aura of murder spread, causing Zhang Tianran and his companions to collapse to the ground in fear, completely losing hope.
âDo you have any last words?â Feng Wuchen asked coldly.
âGrand Commander, please spare our lives! As long as the Grand Commander spares us, we are willing to do anything you command, Fenglei Sect is willing to submit to the Grand Commander,â Zhang Tianran begged repeatedly, unable to bear the fear in his heart.
âSubmit?â Feng Wuchen was slightly surprised, slowly retracting the Supreme Dragon God Sword, and asked, âHow will you submit?â
Seeing Feng Wuchen retract the Supreme Dragon God Sword, Zhang Tianran breathed a sigh of relief and saw a glimmer of hope. Only then did he realize that his back was drenched in cold sweat.
In terror, Zhang Tianran said, âGrand Commander, the entirety of Fenglei Sect is at your disposal to command as you see fit. As long as it is within our power, we will not refuse. If thereâs even a hint of defiance, the Grand Commander may annihilate Fenglei Sect at any time.â
âAt my disposal? No matter what the task?â Feng Wuchen asked with a cold smirk.
âAs long as itâs the Grand Commanderâs order, we will not defy it,â Zhang Tianran dared not hesitate, fearing that even the slightest delay could lead to his death at Feng Wuchenâs hands.
Hearing this, Feng Wuchen sheathed the Supreme Dragon God Sword inside his body and smiled, âRemember, these are your words. Stand up.â
âMany thanks, Grand Commander,â said Zhang Tianran and the others, utterly relieved.
Zhang Tianran and his companions had never felt such fear before, the helplessness was the most terrifying of all.
Their trip was not in vain, the nearly one-month wait had not been for nothing.
At least Feng Wuchen wouldnât kill them, and Fenglei Sect had been spared.
Begging for mercy might be disgraceful, but it was better than death; being alive was what mattered most.
âAs it happens, I have a task for you,â Feng Wuchen said indifferently.
âPlease give your commands, Grand Commander,â said Zhang Tianran respectfully, not daring to show any disrespect.
Zhang Tianran and his companions had been completely terrified by Feng Wuchenâs previous murderous aura and dared not act recklessly.
âFenglei Sect is under the influence of the Shuiyue Empire. Send someone to secretly monitor Shuiyue Empire and Taixu Sect. Report any activity to me immediately. As for how youâll do it, figure it out yourselves,â Feng Wuchen ordered coldly.
At these words, the fourâs expressions changed slightly. Spy on Shuiyue Empire and Taixu Sect? Wasnât that seeking death?
However, Zhang Tianran dared not object and hurriedly responded, âYour command will be followed, Grand Commander.â
âYou better not try any tricks. I have already had people assess the strength of major powers in various countries. Zhang Tianran, if you dare betray me, I will destroy Fenglei Sect right before your eyes,â Feng Wuchen said icily, his words filled with intimidation.
âWe wouldnât dare!â exclaimed Zhang Tianran and the others in terror, not daring to look Feng Wuchen in the eyes.
Their souls were so scared they might as well have fled; how could they dare any trickery?
âYouâre wise. I had planned to exterminate Fenglei Sect once I emerged from seclusion, but it turns out youâve been waiting nearly a month for me. Considering Fenglei Sectâs submission, I shall spare your lives for now. Now get out!â said Feng Wuchen dispassionately.
âThank you for your mercy, Grand Commander,â Zhang Tianran and the others exclaimed in fright, not wanting to pause for a moment longer as they hurried out of Fengâs residence.
Stepping out of Fengâs residence, Zhang Tianran and his companions truly felt humiliated.
The Sect Master of the mighty Fenglei Sect, scared into such fear by a teenager of seventeen or eighteenâif this were known, they would be the laughingstock of the world.
Of course, their fear was not of death, but Feng Wuchenâs strength was too terrifying. If he wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as flipping his hand.
âGrand Commander, are we just letting them go? What if they join forces with Taixu Sect?â Chaos God asked somewhat unwillingly.
âThey donât have the guts, or else they wouldnât have begged for mercy so fearfully,â Liu Qingyang replied with a disdainful sneer.
âI donât think theyâd dare,â said Feng Wuchen, not believing Zhang Tianran possessed the courage. Then he added, âThe Shuiyue Empire and Taixu Sect have been quiet for a month, and their strength is not weak, we must be cautious.â
Feng Qianyang agreed, âIndeed, we must not underestimate the Shuiyue Empire and Taixu Sect.â
âAlthough they are strong, they dare not act rashly; if they did, they would have made a move over the past month. In short, they also fear my brotherâs strength,â Ling Xiaoxiao said with a light laugh.
âXiaoxiao is right, even Tianyuan Realm warriors have been defeated by big brother Feng. Now that he has broken through to the eighth layer of the Yuandan Realm, itâs no wonder they are apprehensive!â Liu Qingyang said with a proud sneer.
Feng Wuchen sighed lightly and said, âItâs just a pity that thereâs still no news of my father. To this day, we cannot guess who is responsible, nor do we know whether my father is dead or alive.â
Hearing this, the Feng family members looked worried. Whoever had seized Feng Zhengxiong was yet to appear to this day.
People sent out to investigate found not a single clue, which greatly concerned Feng Wuchen.
The less information they had, the more worried Feng Wuchen became.
âI hope your father is safe,â Xiao Qingqing said mournfully, unable to help feeling sad at the mention of Feng Zhengxiong.
âThe Family Head will surely be safe. Wuchen, thereâs no need for you to worry so much,â Feng Qianyang reassured.
Since Feng Zhengxiongâs disappearance, there had been absolutely no clues, as if he had vanished from the earth, leaving nothing behind as to who could be the perpetrator.
No matter how strong Feng Wuchen was, he was powerless in this situation.
âGrand Commander, although Taixu Sect wields enormous power and we may not yet have the strength to contend with them, the strength of Huan Yun Sect is similar to that of Ji Xing Sect. When shall we take action?â Huanyang inquired.
âExactly! We mustnât overlook Huan Yun Sect! They must not be spared!â Chaos God said coldly.
âWe strike now! We canât allow the enemy too much time,â Feng Wuchen ordered, âSet out for Tianwu Empire immediately and annihilate Huan Yun Sect!â
