Chapter 198: Xu Fu

At the dining table, Duan Fengyun rarely agreed to let Long Er drink alcohol; he asked Long Er to offer the old man a cup to thank him for saving their lives.

"Many thanks to you, senior, for saving our lives!"

Long Er picked up the wine cup and respectfully offered the old man a drink.

Duan Fengyun watched the old man finish the wine and then began to speak:

"Senior, now that the wine has been drunk, you should tell us your identity."

Seeing this, the old man laughed heartily:

"I keep my word. Since I have drunk your wine, I will tell you.

My name is Xu Fu!"

Duan Fengyun sneered inwardly:

"As I thought, who else in this world but an old thing like you would be so bored as to play god and act like a ghost."

Duan Fengyun laughed wildly in his heart, but on the surface, he wore a look of confusion, indicating he was unfamiliar with the name Xu Fu.

Nie Feng and the other two were equally confused; they had walked the martial arts world for many years and had never heard the name Xu Fu.

Xu Fu smiled and said:

"You are very unfamiliar with the name Xu Fu, aren't you!

Then I will change to someone else, and you should know.

I am the master of Di Shitian!"

"What!"

The quick-reacting Bu Jingyun stood up directly and shouted angrily:

"You are the master of Di Shitian!

What is your motive for coming here!"

Xu Fu smiled:

"Young man, why be so impulsive!

Listen to me finish calmly, won't you? If I wanted to harm you, why would I have stepped in to save you?"

Duan Fengyun grabbed Bu Jingyun's hand and persuaded him:

"That's right, Yun.

Listen to what Senior Xu has to say. If he wanted to harm us, he wouldn't have needed to save us."

Xu Fu smiled and said:

"Duan Fengyun is the one who understands reason!"

Then, following the original plot, Xu Fu slowly told his story to the four of them.

After hearing Xu Fu's story, which was like a myth, Duan Fengyun feigned an expression of disbelief and said:

"I never imagined that there was such a divine beast as a phoenix in the world!

And I never imagined that you, senior, are a person who has lived for thousands of years."

Bu Jingyun, however, said coldly:

"What is the use of living for thousands of years if your eyes are still that blind!

You actually failed to see through the true face of Di Shitian; the current crisis in the martial arts world was caused entirely by you, an old man with no eyes."

Duan Fengyun mediated:

"Yun, this cannot be blamed on Senior Xu.

It is all because Di Shitian is too good at disguising himself; even Senior Xu did not see through his true face."

Xu Fu waved his hand and said:

"Duan Fengyun, you don't need to explain for me.

I was indeed blind to have taken in Di Shitian, that rebellious disciple.

Now that his wings have grown, I can no longer do anything about him.

Alas, this is all my fault; the current chaos in the martial arts world is all caused by me."

Nie Feng asked:

"Senior, Di Shitian's martial arts were all taught by you, so do you have a way to deal with him?"

Xu Fu shook his head and said:

"Based on the martial arts I taught him, Di Shitian created the Sacred Heart Art.

I can no longer do anything about him now."

"Is there really no one who can do anything about Di Shitian, this scourge of the martial arts world?"

Qin Shuang said indignantly.

Xu Fu did not speak, but picked up the wine cup and drank one cup after another.

"Senior, drinking is bad for your health!

Senior, you should drink less."

Nie Feng persuaded him.

"Hahahaha, Nie Feng, I have lived for so many years, would I be afraid of drinking being bad for my health?

In all these years, you are the first person to say that to me."

Nie Feng touched his head in shame; he had momentarily forgotten that Xu Fu was an Undying Person who had consumed the blood of the divine phoenix.

After Xu Fu finished a pot of wine, he stood up and said:

"Alright, I have drunk the wine, and you have heard the story.

It is time for me to go!"

Duan Fengyun pretended to keep his guest and said:

"Senior, why not stay for two more nights and give us some pointers on our martial arts?

We feel that we have all reached a Bottleneck, and it is a coincidence to run into you, Senior, to help us clear our confusion."

Xu Fu shook his head and said:

"I am not in a good mood today. Another day, I will have my disciples invite you to sit in my small courtyard.

I will let you taste the fine wine I have treasured for many years."

"Then we shall respectfully obey. We will see you off, Senior."

Duan Fengyun stood up, and Nie Feng and the others also stood up accordingly; the group saw Xu Fu all the way to the front of the Longmen Mountain Mountain Gate.

"No matter how long the journey, we must eventually part.

Senior, we will see you off to here. We welcome you to visit again next time."

Duan Fengyun said.

Xu Fu leaped into the sky and said:

"You few lads are quite interesting. I will invite you to gather at my place in a few days."

After speaking, Xu Fu disappeared directly before their eyes.

As for Xu Fu's identity, it cannot be told to Bu Jingyun and the others yet.

Otherwise, it would certainly affect the Dragon-Slaying Plan. The Dragon Essence is the only chance they currently have to defeat Xu Fu, and Duan Fengyun cannot miss it.

Duan Fengyun turned around and said to Nie Feng and the others:

"Feng, you take Long Er back first; I am going out for a while."

"Junior Brother Duan, what is the matter?"

Bu Jingyun asked.

"Nothing much, I have some things to handle myself."

Duan Fengyun replied.

"Then take care on your way!"

Bu Jingyun said.

Duan Fengyun nodded and left the Mountain Gate.

Regarding Long Er's blood-seeing plan, it is better early than late, so Duan Fengyun decided to go to a certain place.

The lone Duan Fengyun pushed his speed to the limit and arrived in front of the county government office in no time.

The yamen runners at the entrance of the county office saw Duan Fengyun and immediately knelt down, shouting:

"Greetings to the Prince of Equal Rank!"

Duan Fengyun waved his hand and said:

"Get up. Where is your county magistrate?"

The yamen runner replied:

"The official is inside; I will call him out immediately."

"No need, I will go in myself."

Upon hearing Duan Fengyun's reply, the yamen runner hurriedly cleared the way for Duan Fengyun.

Duan Fengyun passed through an open space and arrived at the main hall.

The county magistrate was currently sitting on his grand master chair, eyes closed, rocking back and forth, looking quite at ease.

Duan Fengyun teased:

"Magistrate, your life is quite carefree; it makes me very envious."

Hearing the voice, the magistrate opened his eyes, looked at the smiling Duan Fengyun before him, and fell straight off his chair.

He prostrated on the ground and begged for mercy:

"This subordinate did not know the Prince had arrived and failed to welcome you from afar. I hope the Prince will forgive my crime."

"Forget it, forget it. Get up quickly.

This Prince has come to find you today to ask for your help."

Duan Fengyun said.

Hearing that he was being asked for help, the magistrate could not help but be shocked.

A dignified Prince of Equal Rank and leader of the Longmen Gang would actually ask a lowly ninth-rank official for help—has the sun risen from the west?

"Prince, what matter do you need this subordinate's help with?

Even if I have to go through fire and water, I will accomplish it for the Prince."

Duan Fengyun joked:

"Rest assured, this Prince will not make you do anything that requires going through fire and water.

This Prince came to find you today just to ask for a few people!"

"What kind of people!"

The magistrate asked.

"Those who have committed heinous crimes and are to be beheaded."

It turned out that Duan Fengyun wanted to find a few people who had committed heinous crimes in the county jail, and then let Long Er personally finish them off.

Duan Fengyun knew that his actions were no different from Xiongba's behavior toward the four of them as fellow disciples back then, but in this environment, he had to do this for Long Er.

After thinking for a moment, the magistrate replied:

"There happen to be three people in the jail who are to be beheaded in two days. I wonder if that number meets your requirements, Prince?"

"What crimes did they commit to be beheaded!"

Duan Fengyun did not want to kill the innocent indiscriminately; he only wanted to find those who were guilty of heinous crimes.

"These three men are all notorious bandits, and not long ago, they wiped out an entire family in our town.

It was only after pooling the strength of our entire county magistrate's office that we were able to capture them!"

The county magistrate replied.

"Good, they are the people I am looking for!

Take me to see them."

Duan Fengyun nodded with satisfaction; these notorious bandits who wiped out entire families and were guilty of heinous crimes perfectly met his requirements.

The county magistrate led Duan Fengyun into the Heavenly Prison; according to the magistrate, because these three bandits were extremely fierce, he had them imprisoned in the very last cell.

Therefore, after entering the prison, Duan Fengyun walked straight toward the depths, paying no attention to the other prisoners along the way.

Arriving at the final cell, three men with bushy beards and fierce, menacing expressions stared fixedly at Duan Fengyun.

All three had heavy iron chains on their hands and feet; it seemed the county magistrate was very afraid of these three dangerous individuals.

"You dog official, let us out quickly.

Otherwise, when we get out, I will take your head off and use it as a ball to kick around.

Kid, what are you looking at? Be careful, or I'll gouge your eyeballs out."

Even though they had been reduced to prisoners, these three wicked and vicious fellows still refused to submit.

Duan Fengyun nodded with satisfaction, as if he were inspecting merchandise.

These three fellows were perfectly suited to serve as whetstones for Long Er.

Hearing the three men speaking so insolently, the county magistrate shouted angrily:

"The three of you, stop spouting wild nonsense; you are about to be executed.

If you want to kill me, wait until your next life."

After the county magistrate finished speaking, he looked fawningly at Duan Fengyun and asked:

"Your Highness, are you satisfied with these three?"

Duan Fengyun nodded and said:

"Very satisfied, I couldn't be more satisfied with these three men.

Order your men to send these three fellows to Dragon Gate for me."

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate shook his head and said fearfully:

"Your Highness, it is not that I am unwilling, but these three men are wicked and vicious; I am afraid they might cause trouble on the road and escape.

Your Highness, your martial arts are peerless, so naturally you have nothing to fear.

But I am no match for them; I hope Your Highness understands."

Duan Fengyun thought for a moment, then struck the three prisoners with a blow through the air.

"They have been struck by my acupoint-sealing technique; they will not be able to undo it for three hours. You can now rest assured and send them to Dragon Gate."

"This subordinate obeys; I will immediately send men to deliver them to Dragon Gate for Your Highness."

Having found the whetstones Long Er needed, Duan Fengyun returned home, feeling satisfied.
