Chapter 59. Shangguan Chengfeng’s Rage — Know Your Place!
Shangguan Chengfeng’s heart felt unbearably heavy.
His mind was in utter turmoil.
Why did someone arrive at this very moment?
He had just been about to send his two daughters away.
Yet someone had suddenly appeared, and judging from the situation, they clearly came with ill intentions.
Had he already been too late?
Shangguan Chengfeng took a deep breath. After leaving the study, he prepared himself for confrontation.
Almost instantly, he flashed to the entrance of the residence.
But the moment he arrived, Shangguan Chengfeng’s pupils suddenly shrank!
He saw the Scarlet Firmament Flame-Winged Beast.
He remembered it clearly. The Scarlet Firmament Flame-Winged Beast was the beast that pulled the War Chariot of the Third Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty—Chu Feng.
“Chu Feng’s War Chariot? Why is it here?!”
Shangguan Chengfeng had originally assumed it was someone from the Situ Family.
Rustle.
At that moment, a figure slowly appeared from within the War Chariot atop the Scarlet Firmament Flame-Winged Beast.
Chu Feng stepped down from the War Chariot, his expression calm.
His indifferent gaze fell upon Shangguan Chengfeng.
“It has been a long time, Patriarch Shangguan.”
A faint smile appeared on Chu Feng’s lips.
Buzz.
Shangguan Chengfeng’s pupils contracted slightly. At that moment, his entire body stiffened as he stared fixedly at Chu Feng.
His heart surged like a stormy sea.
After so long, Chu Feng had returned safely. He had actually not been discovered by the royal family. How had he managed to do it?
However, this was clearly not something that could be discussed out in the open.
“Your Highness the Third Prince, please come inside,” Shangguan Chengfeng said in a low voice.
Chu Feng remained calm as his figure flashed forward.
WHOOSH.
A fierce gust of wind swept past as Chu Feng instantly arrived inside the Shangguan residence.
Shangguan Chengfeng’s gaze sharpened.
What incredible speed.
If he remembered correctly, when Chu Feng had been captured before, he had merely been a prisoner with no cultivation whatsoever.
Yet now he seemed to possess cultivation—and not a weak one.
He must have encountered some opportunity within the Imperial Palace of Great Chu. Otherwise, he could not possibly have become this strong.
BOOM!
The gates of the Shangguan residence slammed shut.
Shangguan Chengfeng stared coldly at Chu Feng as he enveloped him within his domain, ensuring that no one outside could hear their conversation.
“You have been in the Imperial Palace for so long. You were not exposed, were you?” Shangguan Chengfeng asked while staring intensely at Chu Feng, eager to know the answer.
Chu Feng replied calmly, “If this prince had been discovered, would you still be alive and well right now?”
The anxiety in Shangguan Chengfeng’s heart eased slightly.
However, his gaze soon darkened as he examined Chu Feng carefully from head to toe.
Unknowingly, Chu Feng seemed to have developed a completely different aura.
When he had first been captured, he had been timid and silent, nothing more than an ordinary mortal.
Though he had been somewhat composed, he had not carried the arrogance he now displayed.
The current Chu Feng seemed like a true imperial noble.
In fact, he looked even more like a prince than the original Third Prince.
“It seems you have gained quite a lot during your time in the palace.”
Shangguan Chengfeng’s voice turned cold.
“Keep it up. Living your life as a wastrel prince would not be so bad.”
“Why have you come here today? To show off your authority?”
Shangguan Chengfeng studied Chu Feng carefully. Today’s Chu Feng carried an overbearing presence, as if he had come with ill intentions.
In his mind, he quickly formed a conclusion.
A mere mortal had suddenly risen to the heavens in a short period of time, becoming a prince and receiving admiration from all sides.
Under such circumstances, it was easy to become arrogant and forget one’s own identity.
And so he had come to the Shangguan Family to flaunt his status?
In Shangguan Chengfeng’s view, he needed to remind Chu Feng of his place.
“Do not forget who sent you into the royal family.”
He looked at Chu Feng with a tone full of warning.
In response—
Chu Feng merely smiled calmly.
A month ago, Shangguan Chengfeng indeed had the right to threaten him.
Because the man’s strength had far surpassed his.
Back then, Shangguan Chengfeng could have killed him effortlessly.
But now?
Chu Feng had already advanced to the Condensing Dao Realm.
He stood at the same cultivation realm as Shangguan Chengfeng.
As for strength…
He was hundreds, even thousands of times stronger.
Yet Shangguan Chengfeng still thought he could intimidate him.
Truly the fearless arrogance of ignorance.
Chu Feng’s faint chuckle caused Shangguan Chengfeng’s face to darken.
A sinister expression appeared on his face.
The matter of impersonating a prince concerned the entire Shangguan Family. If this mortal became arrogant and careless, eventually exposing himself, it would implicate them all.
Shangguan Chengfeng’s aura surged as he said coldly, “It seems you still have not recognized—”
Before he could finish speaking—
BOOM!!
In an instant.
Chu Feng’s eyes erupted with a black-gold radiance.
The Chaos Dual Pupils activated.
Terrifying chaos energy spilled out, enveloping Shangguan Chengfeng.
At that moment, Shangguan Chengfeng’s expression changed drastically. The Chu Feng before him seemed to have transformed completely.
“This prince came here today to collect a debt.”
Chu Feng spoke calmly.
The terrifying chaos energy pouring from his eyes locked onto Shangguan Chengfeng.
“Not good!”
Shangguan Chengfeng was horrified.
Just as he attempted to resist, he suddenly felt his entire body become rigid.
His pupils widened.
An uncontrollable force seized control of his entire body!
Chu Feng’s Chaos Dual Pupils stared directly at him, his expression indifferent.
“Kneel.”
His tone was calm.
BOOM!!
Shangguan Chengfeng unleashed all of his cultivation without the slightest restraint.
Yet he discovered that Chu Feng had not even lifted a finger.
With nothing but those terrifying eyes, Chu Feng forced his knees to bend.
Until he was completely kneeling!
CRACK!
The ground shattered as countless fragments of stone burst apart.
Shangguan Chengfeng’s knees smashed into the ground like iron nails.
His body continued to sink.
Cracking sounds echoed continuously until Shangguan Chengfeng’s body had sunk half a foot into the ground.
Blood soaked the area beneath his knees.
“You…”
Shangguan Chengfeng stared at Chu Feng in terror.
How long had it been since they last met?
Yet Chu Feng had already become so terrifying.
He had reached the point where he could kill him effortlessly.
Shangguan Chengfeng was utterly horrified. Even as he struggled with all his strength, it was useless.
Instead, his bones were beginning to shatter.
At that moment—
Creak.
The study door opened.
Hearing the disturbance outside, the Shangguan sisters had come out to investigate.
What they saw made their pupils widen instantly.
Their father was kneeling on the ground, blood flowing beneath his knees.
And the man standing before him—
was Chu Feng?!
“Father!”
The two sisters panicked immediately and rushed forward, trying to help Shangguan Chengfeng to his feet.
But under the suppression of that overwhelming force, their efforts were completely useless.
The two sisters suddenly raised their heads and glared at Chu Feng.
Shangguan Ziyun shouted angrily, “Release my father at once!”
Chu Feng remained calm and unhurried as he examined the two sisters.
Both of them were extremely beautiful, each with her own charm—delicate and captivating, their youth making them even more alluring.
No wonder the previous Third Prince had taken interest in them.
Even among the countless beauties competing for attention in the Imperial Palace of Great Chu—the Shangguan sisters would still be considered among the finest.
Despite his immense power now, Chu Feng did not even have a proper maidservant.
It was about time he had a couple of attendants to serve him.
And these two Shangguan sisters seemed perfectly suitable.
