Chapter 86: Angrily Confronting the Emperor

Jue Wushen walked behind Yan Ying, held her, and said:

"Madam, you must suffer a grievance today; once I make a comeback in the future, I will compensate you."

Jue Wushen twisted Yan Ying's neck and looked at the crowd, saying:

"Get out of my way quickly, or I will kill her."

Nie Feng said resentfully:

"Jue Wushen, she is the person who carried you for ten months and shared your bed; how could you commit such a vicious act?"

Jue Wushen laughed loudly:

"A real man considers women as mere external possessions; as long as I achieve success and fame, I can have as many women as I want."

Hearing Jue Wushen's words, Yan Ying looked up at his ugly face and said in disappointment:

"I never expected that this was my status in your heart."

Yan Ying looked at Nie Feng and said:

"Feng'er, you don't need to worry about me. Kill Jue Wushen and rid the Central Plains Martial Arts of this scourge."

After hearing this, Nie Feng held the Snow Drink Saber and pointed it at Jue Wushen, saying:

"Jue Wushen, release my mother at once, or I will make you wish you were dead."

Jue Wushen was not intimidated by Nie Feng's words, and he replied:

"I said, as long as you let me leave, I will naturally release your mother."

Duan Fengyun patted Nie Feng on the shoulder and said:

"Feng, let him go. Since we were able to defeat him once, we can defeat him a second time."

At this moment, Juexin also emerged while holding the Emperor hostage and said:

"Duan Fengyun, if you don't let us leave today, I will kill your dog of an Emperor."

The princes and ministers below shouted one after another:

"Your Majesty!"

Duan Fengyun looked at Jue Wushen and said:

"Jue Wushen, go. Do not set foot in the Central Plains Martial Arts ever again, or you will not meet a good end."

Jue Wushen laughed triumphantly:

"You will regret this; I will definitely return, haha."

Jue Wushen looked at Juexin beside him and said:

"Xin'er, release their dog of an Emperor, and let's go back to Dongying."

Upon hearing this, Juexin shoved the Emperor toward the princes and ministers below, which terrified them, and they hurriedly reached out to catch the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, you have been frightened; are you alright!"

Juexin took Yan Ying from Jue Wushen's hand, and then Jue Wushen, Quan Dao Shen, and Pojun departed.

The Emperor looked at the four, including Duan Fengyun, and said:

"I thank the four heroes for your help; please come to my Huangcheng for a visit so that I may express my gratitude."

Duan Fengyun had no good feelings for this secular Emperor; this Emperor was no different from the muddled rulers in the historical biographies Duan Fengyun had read before.

Duan Fengyun waved his hand and said:

"No need, we have other matters to attend to, farewell."

The Emperor had been terrified by Jue Wushen this time, and he wanted to invite the four to Huangcheng to serve as his National Teacher to prevent such an incident from happening again.

Therefore, the Emperor continued to speak:

"Four heroes, you saved me this time; how could I be ungrateful? Please move to my Huangcheng, and I will announce to the world that I am appointing the four of you as National Teachers."

Since things had reached this point, how could Duan Fengyun not know the Emperor's intentions?

He replied:

"Old man Emperor, we are not your hired thugs; do not dream of ordering us around. We have no interest in your bullshit National Teacher title."

The princes and ministers said angrily:

"How bold, Duan Fengyun! The Emperor's grace is vast; not only do you fail to show gratitude, but you also speak such wild words. Beware, or your entire clan will be executed."

Duan Fengyun looked at these ungrateful people, shook his head, and said:

"I, Duan Fengyun, am accustomed to being a free spirit and have no interest in court politics.

If you insist on forcing me into court politics, then I can only replace the Emperor.

By then, I will have all of you ungrateful dogs and your entire clans executed."

The Emperor and the princes and ministers finally realized that the person before them was not the type to be loyal and patriotic; such principles of ruler and subject did not apply to him.

If they pressed him repeatedly, this person might truly do something unpredictable.

The Emperor feigned composure and said:

"Since the four heroes are so indifferent to fame and wealth, I must respect your choice.

I thank you heroes once again for your rescue; if the four heroes ever come to Huangcheng in the future, I will certainly host a banquet to treat you well.

Farewell for now, four heroes."

Wuming stepped forward to smooth things over and said:

"Please go ahead, Your Majesty; we will certainly come to Huangcheng to have a few drinks with you in the future."

Seeing that Wuming had given him a way out, the Emperor followed the lead and departed with his entourage.

Duan Fengyun looked at Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun and smiled at each other; they had defeated another enemy.

Bu Jingyun said:

"Master, now that Jue Wushen has been defeated, what are your plans?"

Wuming replied:

"The Blood Absolute Poison from that day has not yet been fully cleared. I intend to return to Zhonghua Lou for a period of Seclusion to thoroughly eradicate the toxicity."

Nie Feng asked:

"It has been so long, Master, has your injury still not healed?"

Wuming nodded and replied:

"The Blood Absolute Poison exceeds my expectations; the toxicity has not been rooted out, and any movement of True Qi results in a backlash, which is why I did not use my full strength today."

Duan Fengyun spoke up:

"In that case, Senior Wuming, you should go back and tend to your injuries. Chuchu and Youruo are about to give birth, and you, as the grandmaster, must be there."

Bu Jingyun also chimed in:

"That's right, Master, you must come. I am still waiting for you to name the children."

Wuming nodded and replied:

"No problem, I will certainly come when the time arrives. Duan Fengyun, Feng, Yun'er, let us part ways here."

The three of them, Duan Fengyun, cupped their hands in a salute and said:

"Let us part ways here."

The four of them then went their separate ways on the spot.

Duan Fengyun shouted:

"Chouchou, come out. I will not kill you."

Wen Chou Chou trotted out from behind a stone lion and shouted:

"Greetings, Sect Leader. The Sect Leader is tall, the Sect Leader is rich, the Sect Leader is handsome; the Sect Leader is truly a tall, rich, and handsome man."

Hearing his own cringeworthy slogan from before, Duan Fengyun felt a wave of embarrassment.

He glanced at the two men, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, who were struggling to hold back their laughter, and said:

"Alright, Chouchou, I haven't been any 'Sect Leader' for a long time.

Now that the Jue Wushen Palace has been destroyed, I have also disbanded the original members of the World Association.

You should take your own little treasury and go live your carefree life."

Upon hearing this, Wen Chou Chou was moved to tears and said:

"Thank you, Hero Duan. Chouchou will go pack his bags right away and go live the life of a Mortal."

Wen Chou Chou had not expected that after he had leaked so much information about Duan Fengyun and the others to Jue Wushen, they would still let him go.

Not only had he saved his own life, but he could also take his little treasury to live a life of luxury; this made him overjoyed!

Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun burst into laughter watching Wen Chou Chou, who was pretending to be calm while acting in a flustered hurry.

"Let's go, 'Tall, Rich, and Handsome' Sect Leader Duan, it's time for us to head back."

Nie Feng teased.

Duan Fengyun rolled his eyes at Nie Feng and said:

"Feng, stop teasing me; I was young and ignorant back then. Let's hurry back; I expect Youruo and the others are worried sick."

The three of them walked out of the Jue Wushen Palace laughing, leaving behind three incredibly dashing silhouettes under the setting sun.
