Chapter 685 - 683: Zui Jiuzhou

With King Zuo’s death, the whole affair finally came to a close.

But from then on, Chenxi Pavilion became an entity in Xingyuan City that no one dared to provoke.

Everyone knew that Chenxi Pavilion was backed by a Martial Emperor Expert. It was safe to say that even a fool knew to keep a low profile when dealing with Chenxi Pavilion.

This incident alone saved Chenxi Pavilion a great deal of trouble.

After the deaths of King Zuo, Zuo Dongxing, and the others, the remaining members of the Zuo Family all fled, leaving Xingyuan City far behind, their whereabouts unknown.

Instead, the Han Family, also an Artifact Refining Family, ended up benefiting from the situation.

But even the Han Family was completely respectful toward Chenxi Pavilion.

Whenever the Han Family’s Patriarch saw Jiang Chen, he would take the initiative to greet him.

「City Lord’s Mansion.」

Feng Qi sat in his chair, his hands still trembling slightly.

His son, Feng Hu, stood beside him.

"Father, that was terrifying."

"None of us could have imagined that Chenxi Pavilion possessed such terrifying strength. They’re too powerful. Just far too powerful."

Feng Hu was still in a state of shock.

It was understandable. He would be lucky to witness a scene like that more than a few times in his entire life.

Feng Qi took a few deep breaths.

He said in a low voice, "It seems our prior decision to show goodwill to Chenxi Pavilion was the right one."

"Alright. From now on, if Chenxi Pavilion has any requests, immediately dispatch men from the City Lord’s Mansion to help."

Finally, Feng Qi made up his mind. He had to stay on good terms with Chenxi Pavilion.

"Father, I understand."

The father and son slowly calmed down from their shock.

Just as they were about to leave the main hall...

...both of them suddenly froze.

Because at that very moment, a figure clad entirely in a Black Robe was standing silently at the entrance to the hall.

Neither father nor son had noticed when the person had appeared.

Feng Qi’s expression changed.

He looked at the figure and barked, "Who are you?"

The robed man slowly revealed a saber.

A Golden Saber. It was a Golden Saber.

Seeing this, the faces of Feng Qi and his son, Feng Hu, turned deathly pale.

They exclaimed, "The Blood Hand Gang..."

That’s right. It was someone from the Blood Hand Gang again.

The last time, someone from the Blood Hand Gang had come to assassinate Feng Qi.

But he was killed by Jiang Chen.

And now, someone from the Blood Hand Gang had appeared once more.

Another Golden Saber Expert. In other words, the man possessed Martial Arts Cultivation at the very least.

The man in the Black Robe said, "I am Zui Jiuzhou of the Blood Hand Gang."

"Congratulations. You’ve won the lottery."

Zui Jiuzhou, one of the Blood Hand Gang’s most terrifying Golden Saber assassins.

"You... you’re Zui Jiuzhou?"

Feng Qi and Feng Hu nearly pissed themselves in fear.

Zui Jiuzhou was an extremely terrifying assassin from the Blood Hand Gang. He was infamous; there was no one he couldn’t kill.

They never expected Zui Jiuzhou to show up at their door.

This Zui Jiuzhou’s Cultivation had already reached the Martial Arts Sect Seventh Heaven, and he had killed countless people.

Fear instantly gripped Feng Qi and Feng Hu.

But Feng Qi still felt aggrieved.

"I have never provoked your Blood Hand Gang. Why are you so determined to kill me?"

He didn’t understand and couldn’t accept it.

Though he was terrified of this Zui Jiuzhou, he still had to ask.

"Heh heh. You can go ask King Yama in hell. He’ll tell you."

Zui Jiuzhou walked slowly into the main hall, Golden Saber in hand.

Then he suddenly asked, "Tell me, who killed Tian Feng of our Blood Hand Gang?"

"I know you must be aware of who did it."

As an assassin for the Blood Hand Gang, Zui Jiuzhou knew that their previously dispatched member, Tian Feng, had died unexpectedly.

The mission had failed. Now, Zui Jiuzhou had come personally to kill Feng Qi.

And, of course, to kill the person who had killed Tian Feng.

That was his objective.

The father and son, Feng Qi and Feng Hu, both trembled and backed away in fear.

"We don’t know."

How could they possibly say? Telling him would only bring trouble for Jiang Chen.

Now that they were even more aware of Jiang Chen’s strength, how could they dare say he was the killer?

However, they no longer had a way to ask Jiang Chen for help. The last time Jiang Chen had acted to kill Tian Feng and save them, it was entirely because of the Black Fire he had left behind.

Without the Black Fire, they knew it was impossible for Jiang Chen to come and save them now.

"Heh heh. Since you won’t talk, I have my own ways of finding him."

As he spoke, Zui Jiuzhou’s figure blurred. In an instant, like a phantom, he appeared at Feng Qi’s side.

Feng Qi cried out in alarm.

"PFFT!"

The next moment, Feng Hu froze.

He watched as his father’s head rolled off his neck.

Zui Jiuzhou had decapitated him.

Ruthless. Zui Jiuzhou was utterly ruthless and cruel. He killed without a moment’s hesitation.

Even though Feng Qi was the City Lord of Xingyuan City, he didn’t hesitate in the slightest, killing him just like that.

Feng Hu stood there stunned, his father’s blood splattered all over him.

What could be more soul-crushing than watching your own father be beheaded right in front of you?

"AHHH...!"

Feng Hu was instantly so terrified that he collapsed to the ground.

He screamed uncontrollably.

"Father...!"

But Zui Jiuzhou remained completely unmoved, pointing his blood-drenched Golden Saber at Feng Hu.

"You’re going to tell me, aren’t you?"

At this moment, although Feng Hu was scared out of his wits, he remained extremely stubborn and said nothing.

He just kept shaking his head.

"You killed my father. You might as well kill me too."

"I won’t tell you."

"You’re a monster."

Feng Hu was truly helpless, but deep down, he possessed a core of strength.

Even in his terror, he refused to talk.

Zui Jiuzhou let out a chilling smile.

"Heh heh..."

"I just love people with a strong backbone like you."

With that, a jet-black Elixir suddenly appeared in Zui Jiuzhou’s hand.

He held the Elixir and examined it for a moment.

"This Mind Control Pill is quite effective. It will make you talk."

"Kid, next, you will tell me everything you know."

Saying this, he walked toward Feng Hu, holding the Mind Control Pill.

Feng Hu trembled uncontrollably.

Hearing that the man was holding a Mind Control Pill, despair flashed in his eyes.

Knowing there was no escape, he suddenly steeled himself and slammed a palm toward his own chest, preparing to commit suicide.

"Suicide? Do you think that’s possible in front of me?"

Zui Jiuzhou sneered.

He simply flicked his hand, and a bolt of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi shot out, striking Feng Hu’s hand.

Feng Hu could no longer kill himself.

Zui Jiuzhou had already walked up to him.

He reached out and pinched Feng Hu’s mouth open.

The next moment, he shoved the Mind Control Pill in his hand into Feng Hu’s mouth.

"GULP..."

Feng Hu swallowed the Mind Control Pill.

A moment later, his eyes became vacant and clouded with confusion.

Seeing this, Zui Jiuzhou asked, "Tell me, who killed Tian Feng?"

He watched Feng Hu.

Feng Hu didn’t even struggle. His eyes remained vacant, clearly under the complete control of Zui Jiuzhou’s Mind Control Pill.

"It was Jiang Chen. He’s the one who killed Tian Feng."

Zui Jiuzhou paused for a moment, then asked again, "Who is Jiang Chen? Be specific."

The controlled Feng Hu answered involuntarily, "He’s the owner of Chenxi Pavilion on Celestial Water Street."

"He’s the one who killed Tian Feng."

At that moment, Zui Jiuzhou nodded.

He now knew who had killed Tian Feng.

He was about to leave, but then had a sudden thought.

He casually picked Feng Hu up and walked out of the City Lord’s Mansion.
