Chapter 1722 - 1722: Luo Changfeng

Once everything settled, the poison powder and killing aura dissipated.

Shangguan Wan'er and Dong Ruyan also arrived on the roof again, gazing at the shocking scene below.

Though they were mentally prepared, the scenario before them was still incredibly overwhelming!

Jiang Feng, with his own power, truly wiped out all the surviving remnants of the Rong Family, utterly removing a once-renowned family in the Capital City!

Although those unfortunate family members weren't directly killed by Jiang Feng, ultimately, they died because of him, merely collateral damage.

"Jiang Feng, is this the end of the Rong Family? Where to next? Xiong Family or Che Family?" Shangguan Wan'er asked Jiang Feng excitedly.

"Not over yet."

Jiang Feng's eyes scanned below, finally jumping down from the high rooftop.

Shangguan Wan'er and Dong Ruyan followed closely, not knowing what Jiang Feng was searching for.

"The Rong Family has two final threats, one slipped away, and one hasn't emerged yet," Jiang Feng explained calmly.

Right, hearing this, the two women suddenly realized!

They were just busy being excited and forgot that the real replacement decision-maker for the Rong Family was Wu Yuzhen—the old lady wasn't dead yet, and Genetic Man Number 0 hasn't come out, something is off.

Immediately, Jiang Feng led Shangguan Wan'er and Dong Ruyan to begin searching the old Rong Family residence, looking for the whereabouts of those two.

Meanwhile, Wu Yuzhen, trembling, reached the most central location of the family, deep within an underground secret chamber.

This underground chamber resembled a giant cellar; even though the weather hadn't turned cold, Wu Yuzhen felt shivering as she descended the steps.

She couldn't tell if it was the low temperature or her instinctive fear.

Soon, she arrived at the deepest part of the cellar, where a giant dungeon held Genetic Man Number 0.

Wu Yuzhen, leaning on the Phoenix Head Cane, boldly approached the dungeon's front.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Genetic Man Number 0 inside the dungeon hardly resembled the terrifying and grotesque Genetic Men seen before, and unlike Number 1, 2, and 3, who retained human form but couldn't speak.

This one looked like an ordinary old man, and despite being in the pitch-dark dungeon, wasn't at all lonely, brewing tea for himself, seated before a giant chessboard playing chess solo.

Clearly hearing Wu Yuzhen's footsteps arriving, he did not lift his head, concentrating as if stumped by the battlefield ahead.

"Luo Changfeng." Wu Yuzhen inhaled deeply, suppressing her inner turbulence, stepped to the dungeon's door, looked at the focused old man inside, and called.

The person inside, the Genetic Man Number 0, precisely named Luo Changfeng, paused momentarily upon hearing, then calmly raised his head and smiled: "Twelve years, it's a miracle you appear before me now, but it also precisely implies the Rong Family faces insurmountable challenges..."

"Luo Changfeng, I need your help now," Wu Yuzhen closed her eyes, pale-faced, and said.

"Help?"

Luo Changfeng chuckled, finally putting down his chess piece: "Why remember me? What about your husband-follower Rong Xingpu? Back then you chose him, mercilessly abandoning me, now of all times finding me, isn't reasonable..."

Wu Yuzhen tightly shut her eyes: "Luo Changfeng, is it meaningful to discuss this now? Once you help me deal with the enemies outside, whatever you demand in return, even to kill or torture, I'll agree, just hoping you preserve the Rong Family's legacy..."

"Hahaha!"

Luo Changfeng laughed aloud, his laugh filled with irony and resentment: "So, is Rong Xingpu and Rong Xingchang, those brothers, finished?!"

"How laughable that their family legacy ultimately needs my protection? And you found me because you're desperate, right?"

"Luo Changfeng, I said, as long as you're willing to help, I'll repay everything owed to you, even if it's humiliating, I'll promise you!" Wu Yuzhen trembled and said.

Turns out, Wu Yuzhen and Luo Changfeng in the dungeon had an unknown story!

In their youth, they were childhood sweethearts!

But later, Wu Yuzhen betrayed the relationship, got involved with Rong Xingpu, most likely to inherit the family.

Immersed in deep affection, Luo Changfeng visited Wu Yuzhen multiple times, hoping she would reconsider.

Yet Wu Yuzhen ultimately betrayed him, marrying Rong Xingpu, becoming both the Family Head and Lady together.

Afterward, they worked together to strengthen and expand the Rong Family, secretly initiating the Genetic Man cultivation project...

Even Wu Yuzhen didn't expect Rong Xingpu secretly resented Luo Changfeng!

This love-stricken man chose lifelong bachelorhood for his already grandly married wife, preferring to die alone, yet still longing...

In anger, he had Luo Changfeng captured and used as an experiment.

Luo Changfeng suffered various cruel and inhumane tortures in the lab, treated non-humanely, injected with numerous genes repeatedly, while Rong Xingpu's intent was purely to inflict pain without caring for his life...

Unexpectedly, Luo Changfeng survived such circumstances, ultimately becoming the sole Genetic Man capable of retaining memory!

That's how fate toyed; eventually, Luo Changfeng, who suffered under the Rong Family, became the Rong Family's final trump card!

But that was precisely why Rong Xingpu and Wu Yuzhen, unless necessary, were reluctant to use him.

One was debt, secondly they knew Luo Changfeng's hatred for the Rong Family; releasing him would trap them in self-destructive harm!

But currently, Wu Yuzhen had no choice but to resort to this step...

"Wu Yuzhen, you still misunderstand one thing..."

Luo Changfeng sighed, stood up: "Do you believe that ever since you transformed me into this neither human nor ghost appearance, this mere dungeon can restrain me?"

He shook his head, sighing, approached, reached a hand out, effortlessly pulling open the special metal prison bars.

Wu Yuzhen got startled, never imagining Luo Changfeng's terror; this dungeon couldn't hold him, he could exit at will!

"I've waited all these years just for you to seek me. Now, I've finally waited out; seeing you this humbly satisfies me already..."

Luo Changfeng stepped close to Wu Yuzhen, smiling.

Wu Yuzhen grew increasingly anxious: "Then... do you agree to help me?"

"Of course, just..." Luo Changfeng chuckled: "Over these years, I've missed you too much. Thinking of you bearing children for Rong Xingpu, it keeps me up at night, so I hope you'll do the same for me..."

Saying this, he, filled with affection, disregarding Wu Yuzhen's age, directly reached into her bosom, and tore the clothing of the elderly woman to shreds!
