Chapter 89: The Past of Xu Hu, the Cui Family of Great Zhao!

"Sigh, that's a long story!"

Xu Hu sighed, a look of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.

"This isn't the place to talk, follow me!"

"Alright!"

The few of them headed to the General's Mansion together.

Zhao Ping dismissed the attendants, leaving only the three of them in the room.

At the same time.

Zhao Ping even brought out his treasure.

Which was the Life-Day that Chu Feng had gifted him, to treat Xu Hu.

Xu Hu picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

He was instantly conquered by the taste of this wine.

"Old Zhao, this wine has a kick, where did you buy it?"

"Sorry, this wine is not for sale!"

"Oh? Could it be that the Empress gifted it?"

"Hehe, you guess?"

Zhao Ping glanced at Chu Feng beside him and smiled meaningfully.

"This..."

Xu Hu was completely baffled.

He was prepared to say that he was someone who had traveled far and wide.

Naturally, he had tasted the local customs and fine wines of various places.

But what was certain was that he had absolutely never drunk this wine; it was a flavor unique in all the world.

"Alright, I won't hide it from you, this was brewed by little Feng himself!"

"What?"

Xu Hu's voice instantly shot up high.

He looked at Chu Feng beside him in disbelief.

No way!

Since when did you kid learn how to brew wine?

"Hehe, this little disciple of mine has plenty of secrets!"

"No, what the hell does he have to do with you?"

"What's that! Do you think just because you taught him a cultivation art, I didn't teach him anything else?"

"Damn it! Are you looking for a beating?"

"What, not convinced? Want to go outside and spar?"

"Spar then, who's afraid of whom!"

The two of them were thick as thieves.

But when it came to the matter of Chu Feng's future,

the ship of their friendship capsized just like that.

"You two, you two!"

Chu Feng hurriedly stood up to play the peacemaker, "The two of you have a kindness of rebirth toward Chu Feng that I will never forget; there's no need to come to blows over this!"

Persuaded by Chu Feng like this.

The two of them finally returned to the table.

It was just that both of them still had their noses in the air, neither willing to pay any mind to the other.

With no other choice.

Chu Feng had to take the initiative to find a topic himself.

"Squad Leader, what exactly is going on with you? Why did you leave without saying goodbye, and what is the situation with this Great Zhao Cui Family?"

Xu Hu actually didn't want to say much about this situation.

But right now, Chu Feng's strength had already surpassed his and Zhao Ping's.

Therefore, he chose to spill everything.

"Sigh, this matter has to start from five years ago!"

Xu Hu took another sip of wine, "Do you still remember that 'Purple Firmament Profound Heaven Art' I gave you?"

"Mm, I remember!"

Chu Feng nodded.

This cultivation art was indeed quite powerful; its only drawback was that it consumed too many points.

"That cultivation art was actually something I discovered in an ancient tomb. Of course, I wasn't the only one who discovered it; there were two of us!"

"Could the other one be someone from the Cui Family?"

"Correct!"

Xu Hu nodded, "To tell you the truth, this cultivation art is actually a Martial Emperor-level art!"

"What? A Martial Emperor-level cultivation art!"

This news directly shocked both Chu Feng and Zhao Ping.

A Martial Emperor-level cultivation art!

The value of this thing was immeasurable!

No wonder the Cui Family was in such a desperate hurry to hunt him down!

"Actually, this Martial Emperor-level cultivation art is incomplete. At the time, I got into a fight with that guy from the Cui Family. We fought to a draw, and naturally, that manual was damaged during the struggle."

That explains it!

With over a hundred thousand Killing Points, why was I still unable to light up the "Purple Firmament Profound Heaven Art"?

So it turns out it was a fragmented text!

"After I left the ancient tomb, that guy gathered a large group of experts from the Cui Family to hunt me down."

"I fled all the way, escaping to the vicinity of Dingning Pass!"

At this moment, Xu Hu looked at Zhao Ping, his eyes filled with gratitude, "If it weren't for Old Zhao extending a helping hand in time, I would have died long ago!"

"So that's how it is!"

Chu Feng understood.

Everything about the matter was now clear.

No wonder Xu Hu had been staying at Dingning Pass, keeping a low profile!

It turned out it was to avoid being targeted by his enemies.

The reason he left without saying goodbye later must have been because his strength was exposed during the last great battle.

In order not to bring trouble to Dingning Pass, he had no choice but to leave.

"Squad Leader, what is the actual strength of that Cui Family?"

"The Cui Family comes from Great Zhao; their strength is extraordinary, and they hold a pivotal position in Great Zhao."

Xu Hu's expression became very grave, "It is rumored that the Cui Family even has Martial Venerable-level powerhouses. Hehe, so you understand!"

A Martial Emperor-level cultivation art.

Even a Martial Saint-level powerhouse would be obsessed with it.

Let alone a Martial Venerable-level powerhouse.

"So the other half of the 'Purple Firmament Profound Heaven Art' is with the Cui Family?"

"That's right!"

Xu Hu nodded and chuckled sheepishly, "Hehe, I don't know what kind of nonsense they can manage to cultivate out of it; anyway, apart from you, I haven't seen anyone else succeed."

After saying this, he did not forget to glance at Zhao Ping beside him.

Zhao Ping rolled his eyes at Xu Hu and silently took a sip of wine.

"Squad Leader, come with me, to my place!"

"Oh? Aren't you afraid of being troubled by the Cui Family?"

"Hehe, just them?"

Chu Feng sneered, "It would be fine if they didn't come, but if they do, I'll take them all on!"

Right now, he had over a hundred thousand Killing Points in his hands.

Relying on such a massive amount of points, he was confident he could push his own strength to the Martial Venerable level.

Plus his own combat power.

As long as the opponent wasn't a Martial Saint, he was fully confident in eliminating them.

"Old Xu, just listen to little Feng. If you go to his place, you can at least live a stable life."

"Alright then, I'll go to your place, kid. Make sure to prepare plenty of wine for me!"

"Rest assured, there will be plenty!"

In the following few days.

Chu Feng stayed at Dingning Pass.

Aside from resting his troops, Chu Feng also taught the battle formation he created to the soldiers of Dingning Pass.

With the help of this battle formation, they could easily defend against Xiongnu soldiers even if they encountered them in field battles.

And Zhao Ping was increasingly regretting sending Chu Feng to garrison Anwu County.

If Chu Feng could have stayed at Dingning Pass, Dingning Pass would surely be a different scene.

"Uncle Zhao, we are leaving, please take care!"

"Old Zhao, until we meet again. When there is time, I will come back to drink with you!"

"You two as well, take care!"

The few of them bid each other farewell.

Chu Feng led his own men and the three Colonels assigned to him by Zhao Ping as they returned toward Anwu County.

At the entrance of Anwu County.

Xiang Yuan, who was guarding the city tower, saw a vast and mighty army and immediately became alert.

He thought the enemy was attacking, so he immediately had everyone prepare for battle.

It was only after seeing that it was the banner of their Anwu Army that he lowered his guard.

"General, you have returned!"

At the entrance, Xiang Yuan came to welcome him.

"You've worked hard. How are things on your end? Any problems?"

"No, everything is calm and peaceful here!"

"That's good!"

Learning that there was no war in Anwu County, Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, General, just yesterday, someone came looking for you!"

"Oh? Who is it?"
