Chapter 116: Old Chu, I only regret that I am not a woman!

"This... how is this possible?"

"There is nothing impossible about it!"

Chu Feng flew in front of Wuyun Daoren and stared straight at him.

He hadn't expected the man to be so tough.

Even with half his body gone, he could still speak.

"You... you are not a human at all, but... but a monster!"

"Hehe, thanks for the compliment!"

Chu Feng chuckled and snatched the Dragon Spine Treasure Sword from Wuyun Daoren's hand, "This sword is not bad; I'll gladly accept it!"

"Give... give it back to me..."

"Give it back to you?"

Chu Feng shook the treasure sword in his hand, "Then come over and take it? As long as you can walk two steps, I'll give it back to you!"

"Damn it!!"

Wuyun Daoren immediately cursed.

It was intentional!

This brat was definitely doing it on purpose.

It was clearly meant to humiliate him.

This brat was truly too shameful.

To kill someone and then attack their heart as well!

"Alright, I don't have the time to waste words with you. Remember to be reborn into a better life next time, and don't provoke people you shouldn't provoke!"

"You... you..."

Swish!

The long sword swept across.

A large head instantly flew off.

"The sharpness of this sword is actually quite good!"

Chu Feng examined the treasure sword in his hand, his eyes full of admiration.

It was, after all, the sword of a powerful expert from the Hunyuan Sect; its power was truly extraordinary.

After dealing with Wuyun Daoren, Chu Feng immediately turned his gaze toward Wuqi Daoren.

"Ah?"

Thump!

Wuqi Daoren hurriedly knelt down.

"Spare my life, my lord, please spare my life!"

Swish!

Chu Feng flew over to stand before Wuqi Daoren and placed the sword in his hand against his neck.

"Give me a reason not to kill you!"

"My lord, do you know Helante?"

"Hmm?"

"My lord, the situation is..."

Wuqi Daoren recounted the story in a voice only the two of them could hear.

After listening.

Chu Feng put away the treasure sword in his hand: "You may go. When you return, if they ask, just say your senior brother fought with his life to cover your escape!"

"Many thanks, my lord!"

Wuqi Daoren returned the salute.

Then he hurriedly left this place.

"Hey, why did you let him run away?" Lu Bingyu came closer and asked.

"He's just a Grandmaster, it makes no difference whether I kill him or not!"

Actually, I wanted to kill him.

After all, these are precious points!

But since I owe someone a favor, it really wouldn't be right to kill him!

Chu Feng thought to himself.

According to Wuqi Daoren's confession.

He and Helante were close friends.

They happened to run into each other when both sides came to the Capital to carry out their missions.

During their conversation, Wuqi Daoren revealed their purpose for coming here.

Helante took the opportunity to tell Chu Feng about this matter.

I have to say.

This Helante is truly a clever one.

Telling me the matter is equivalent to me owing him a favor.

As for whether he can survive, it all depends on my own ability.

If I survive, he will have earned a massive favor from me.

If I die, it makes no difference; it was just a simple sentence anyway.

"Helante, heh!"

Chu Feng muttered to himself.

He turned his head to glance into the distance, then continued on the road with the others.

In a certain corner far away.

"Old Shen, has that kid already sensed us?"

"The younger generation is truly formidable!"

Shen Tang exclaimed, "To have the combat power to rival a Martial Saint at such a young age is truly astonishing!"

"Hey, I'm asking you a question! Don't you dare try to change the subject!"

"You're asking me, but who am I supposed to ask?"

Shen Tang said irritably, "It's not that I'm lecturing you, Old Lu, but you sent your own granddaughter to his side—don't think I don't know what kind of scheme you're cooking up!"

"Heh, likewise!"

Lu Tianzong did not back down either, "Your Imperial family is also making big moves, even giving away the armor of the founding Emperor. And that day, that kid was summoned by your granddaughter—was it to do some indescribable things?"

"So what if it was? I'm warning you, the Imperial family has claimed this person; don't you dare try to get your hands on him, Lu family!"

"Go to hell, who made that rule? Who do you think you are? I knew this kid before you did!"

"Are you itching for a beating? Can't you understand human speech?"

"What human speech? That was clearly a dog barking just now!"

"You..."

Since the battle between Chu Feng and Wuyun Daoren came to an end.

The true duel between Martial Saints officially took the stage here.

After some time.

Chu Feng and the others finally arrived at Anwu County, which they had been away from for so long.

No!

Now it should be called Anwu Prefecture.

At the city gate of Anwu Prefecture.

Xiang Yuan and Qiu Ming led troops to form a massive procession to welcome Chu Feng.

The welcoming party was solemn and orderly, with every soldier holding a banner with the character 'Chu' on it.

"Respectfully welcome the return of the Champion Marquis!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

The sound resonated throughout the entire world.

"Thank you all for the welcome!"

Chu Feng cupped his hands in return.

After being away for so many days, he really did miss this frontier scenery.

At the same time.

Dingning Pass also received the news of Chu Feng's return.

Of course, the news of him being enfeoffed as a Marquis was delivered along with it.

"Oh my goodness, General Chu has actually been enfeoffed as a Marquis!"

"Indeed, who could have imagined that the current Champion Marquis was once just a weak little scholar who couldn't even truss a chicken!"

"Fortune plays tricks on people!"

The various Deputy Generals at Dingning Pass talked among themselves.

Zhao Ping, located at the General's Mansion, also wore an expression of amazement.

"Heh, you brat, your growth speed is truly astonishing. In the future, I'll have to address you as Marquis when I see you!"

Zhao Ping smiled faintly.

He downed a bowl of wine in one go.

"Oh my, my Marquis, General Chu, you have finally returned. Do you know that ever since you left, this official hasn't been able to eat or sleep, hasn't thought about women, and has been living like..."

"Stop, stop, this Marquis does not engage in homosexuality!"

"Hm? What is 'engaging in homosexuality'?"

"It means a penchant for the love of the dragon!"

"Go to hell, who's engaging in homosexuality with you!"

Zhu Kang curled his lips.

Ever since he started associating with Chu Feng, he felt more and more that he no longer resembled a scholar.

All sorts of profanities and vulgarities came out of his mouth at will.

"Alright, alright, alright, stand aside quickly; this Marquis has brought you all good things this time!"

"What good things, gold and silver treasures?"

"Heh heh, more precious than gold and silver treasures!"

Chu Feng chuckled, then took the Imperial Edict out from his storage space, "The Imperial Edict has arrived!"

Everyone immediately stood at attention, ready to receive the edict.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:..."

"Appoint Zhu Kang as the Prefect of Anwu Prefecture to assist the Champion Marquis in handling important political affairs!"

"Appoint Deputy General Xiang Yuan as the Assault General of the Household, holding the title of Yongyang Earl!"

"Appoint Deputy General Qiu Ming as the Expeditionary General, holding the title of Qishui Earl!"

"Appoint Deputy General Lu Peng as Conquest General of the Household, and grant him the title of Fanyang Earl!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your immense grace!"

Every person's face was brimming with a happy smile.

Chu Feng had brought them gifts that were truly worthy of a Marquis upon his return this time.

Especially for Zhu Kang.

For a son of a humble family like him, being able to serve as a Magistrate of a region was already quite remarkable.

Now, he had transformed in a single leap to become the Prefect of a major commandery.

This speed of promotion was comparable to riding a rocket.

Of course!

All of this was due to Chu Feng working behind the scenes.

If not for him, this position of Prefect of Anwu Prefecture would certainly have gone to those children of high-ranking officials.

One must know that Anwu Prefecture connected the vital routes to the Western Regions, and the profits generated from the traffic there were an astronomical figure.

"How about it, Old Zhu!"

Chu Feng wrapped an arm around Zhu Kang's shoulder, "I said that after we recovered Anwu Prefecture, you would be the Prefect here. How about it, I didn't break my word, did I?"

"Old... Old Chu!" Zhu Kang stared at Chu Feng with eyes full of hot tears.

"Uh... Old Zhu, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Kang threw himself into Chu Feng's arms without hesitation and wailed bitterly.

"Waaaaahhhhh..."

"Old Chu, I only hate that I am not a woman, unable to bear you a son or a daughter!"

The scene shifted.

Hunyuan Sect.

At this moment, a violent earthquake was occurring at the Hunyuan Sect.
