Chapter 162: Setting Out, Profound Cloud Mountain

Xiao Meng was greatly shocked.

In all his years of living, this was the first time he had encountered such a terrifying opponent.

He had thought that by gathering all the experts of his Xiaoyun Mansion, they could easily finish off Chu Feng and demand a high reward from the Great Chu imperial family.

But the result!

The seven of them attacking together were no match for the man.

"Monster, monster, he's a monster!"

Xiao Meng completely broke down.

He did not want to fight Chu Feng here anymore, and he knew he was definitely no match for Chu Feng.

On the spot, he chose to grease his heels and run.

"What?"

The general responsible for guarding Qitong Pass could not help but be shocked when he saw Xiao Meng turn around and flee.

He had thought that with seven top experts from Xiaoyun Mansion holding the fort,

wiping out the invading Wei Army would be a completely easy and pleasant affair.

But what was the result?

Seven came, and six were wiped out by the man in a few swift strokes.

He had thought the leader, Xiao Meng, would choose to burn his boats and fight Chu Feng to the end,

to avenge his fallen brothers!

Yet the result was that Xiao Meng chose to run away directly.

This contrast...

"Heh, old thing, do you think you can escape?"

Chu Feng immediately appeared and blocked Xiao Meng's path.

"Little friend, this is all a misunderstanding. My Xiaoyun Mansion never intended to be enemies with Great Wei; it was all the Great Chu imperial family inciting us there. This old man is willing to go with you to the Capital to hold the Chu Emperor accountable!"

Well, well!

To save his life, Xiao Meng directly shifted the blame onto the Great Chu imperial family.

He sold out his teammates completely.

It was fortunate that the Chu Emperor was not present.

Otherwise, the Chu Emperor would certainly have jumped up to curse Xiao Meng for being shameless.

And declared that he had never seen such a thick-skinned and shameless person!

"Sorry, I will go settle accounts with the Great Chu imperial family myself; I don't need your help!"

"Little friend, let's talk this over, let's talk..."

"Ah!"

Xiao Meng's head was also plucked off by Chu Feng.

Xiaoyun Mansion could now declare bankruptcy and reorganization.

All of its top brass had been completely wiped out by Chu Feng.

After dealing with Xiao Meng,

Chu Feng immediately turned back toward Qitong Pass.

The big tigers had already been wiped out; it was time to deal with the remaining small fry.

By the time Chu Feng returned,

the battle at Qitong Pass had already ended.

The general responsible for guarding this place saw that they were no match for the Wei Army.

To save his life, he directly led all his subordinates to raise their hands and surrender.

There was no other way!

There was a deity in the opponent's camp.

Seven top-tier Martial Saint Great Perfection experts were no match for Chu Feng.

There was no need for them, mere mortals, to continue resisting.

Isn't it better to be alive?

Just like that,

the Wei Army easily occupied Qitong Pass without paying any price at all.

After occupying Qitong Pass,

Chu Feng continued to lead his troops forward.

The target was aimed directly at the final barrier.

The Great Chu Capital.

"What, Qitong Pass has fallen?"

This news was like a heavy bomb that instantly exploded in the imperial court.

The civil and military officials were all astonished upon hearing this.

Such a sturdy fortress had actually been conquered so quickly.

"This is impossible. Qitong Pass is the barrier of the Capital, impregnable, and besides, there were seven Martial Saint-level powerhouses from Xiaoyun Mansion holding it!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Anwu King of Great Wei is simply a monster. Those seven Martial Saint-level powerhouses fought him for less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense before..."

"Before what? Speak quickly!"

"Before... before they were all killed!"

Boom!

The Emperor of Chu felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

In a daze, he slumped back onto his dragon throne.

Seven Martial Saint-level powerhouses, and all of them at the Great Perfection of cultivation.

Even that had failed to stop the Anwu King of Great Wei.

"Could it be that Heaven truly intends to destroy my Great Chu?" the Emperor of Chu muttered in a voice only he could hear.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The head of the palace guards rushed in, "Your Majesty, the Wei Army has reached the city walls. The Imperial City cannot hold for long. I implore Your Majesty to leave quickly!"

"What?"

Before the Emperor of Chu could react.

The civil and military officials below were all terrified.

They fled toward the outside of the palace one after another.

Whether Great Chu perished or not had nothing to do with them.

Preserving their own lives was the most important thing.

"Heh, they left, they all left. Now that you have all left, I know that you are all unreliable!"

The Emperor of Chu sat paralyzed on the dragon throne, looking up at the ceiling.

It seemed that the heavens truly did not favor his Great Chu.

What on earth did Great Wei do in its past life to have such a person born there?

And the speed at which this person rose was also extraordinary.

In less than a year, he had grown from an unknown soldier into the heaven-defying Anwu King.

To put it bluntly.

The Emperor of Chu even suspected whether the other party was an immortal descended from the heavens.

Otherwise, why would he have grown to this extent in such a short time?

"Heh, forget it, forget it. What is the use of thinking so much?"

The Emperor of Chu gave a bitter laugh.

He just sat quietly on his dragon throne, waiting for his end.

"Do you wish to take revenge and re-establish Chu?"

"Who?"

The Emperor of Chu was greatly alarmed.

He searched all around but could not find anyone at his side.

"Could it be that I am suffering from auditory hallucinations?"

"No, you are not!"

The voice sounded again.

It gave the Emperor of Chu a huge fright.

"Who are you? Why are you here? What exactly is your purpose?"

"Hehehehe..."

"This seat does not wish to answer that question. I only ask if you want to achieve what I just mentioned?"

"I do, of course I do!"

The Emperor of Chu responded without hesitation, "As long as I can have my revenge, I am willing to pay any price!"

"Very well, you said it yourself!"

"Of course, a monarch never breaks his word!"

"Since that is the case, then come with me!"

Black mist rose again, instantly enveloping the Emperor of Chu.

The next moment.

The Emperor of Chu disappeared without a trace.

It was as if he had never appeared at all.

"General!"

Qiu Ming arrived quickly to report, "Reporting to the General, I have searched the Imperial Palace inside and out, but I have found no trace of the Emperor of Chu!"

"What?"

Chu Feng rubbed his chin and pondered.

How had such a strange thing happened again?

First the Emperor of Zhao went missing, and now the Emperor of Chu.

Why did he keep running into such strange occurrences?

"Husband, do you think their disappearances could be connected to the disappearance of the Fifth Prince's corpse?"

"That's right, there is that matter too!"

With Lu Shuwan's reminder, Chu Feng instantly linked these events together.

In that case, there must be a powerhouse manipulating all of this from the shadows.

The only thing he could not understand was, what was the purpose of doing this?

"Forget it, let's not think about it so much for now. When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth!"

Chu Feng turned to look at Lu Tianzong, "Grandfather, the matter is over. I will trouble you to preside over the situation here and report the circumstances to His Majesty."

"I must accompany Brother Lv to Xuan Yun Mountain to treat his father."

"Very well, go with peace of mind, I will take care of everything here!"

"Mm, Brother Lv, let us set off!"

"Yes, General!"

The two of them left the Capital of Great Chu and headed straight for Xuan Yun Mountain.

After some traveling, the two of them finally arrived in the vicinity of Xuan Yun Mountain.

Just as Lv Ke believed his father was finally saved, the scene before his eyes left him stunned on the spot.
