49: Chapter 49: Dragging a Corpse Through the Streets – The Consequences of Messing Jiang Feng's Women

Yao Shifei gripped her skirt tightly, staring directly at Jiang Feng, who sat before her.

She squeezed the words out from her parched throat: "Why should I trust you?"

Jiang Feng did not waste words; he flipped his palm casually. A snow-white Medicinal Pill appeared out of thin air in his palm.

There were no pill halos visible on the surface of the Medicinal Pill, nor could any medicinal fragrance be smelled; it looked extremely ordinary.

Yao Shifei had intended to offer a cold, mocking remark, but the words stuck in her throat.

She had once been an outstanding Alchemy Genius of Medicine King Valley. Her eye for evaluating Medicinal Pills had not vanished along with her cultivation level.

The Spiritual Qi surrounding this snow-white Medicinal Pill did not leak out. The Spiritual Qi was contained within, forming a vacuum region on the surface of the pill body that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.

High-grade Medicinal Pills return to their original simplicity.

Relying on her intuition for the Spiritual Qi of herbs and plants, Yao Shifei could sense that a great vitality was hidden within this Medicinal Pill.

That vitality carried the Dao aura of reshaping and creation, sufficient to mend a shattered Foundation Establishment foundation.

Even the sect-protecting Divine Pill of Medicine King Valley could not compare to this Medicinal Pill.

Yao Shifei swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Her heart beat wildly.

"This... what kind of Medicinal Pill is this?"

"The mortal shedding pill." Jiang Feng tossed the Medicinal Pill onto the table. The Medicinal Pill spun on the wooden table.

Yao Shifei's fingertips touched the cold wooden table. She was only an inch away from the Medicinal Pill that would change her fate, within arm's reach.

But she did not move; the pride in her bones was still resisting.

She wanted to rebuild her foundation and return to the Peak, and to trample those who had schemed against her back then under her feet.

These thoughts kept popping up in her mind, the price being to bear a child for this sixty-year-old man before her.

Yao Shifei looked up at Jiang Feng; he had a full head of gray hair, and fine lines had already appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Yet that calm demeanor belonging to a superior made one feel suppressed. This man even spoke of bearing a child in such an open and straightforward manner, even with a sense of it being a matter of course.

Humiliation, unwillingness, and temptation intertwined in her heart.

Jiang Feng picked up his tea cup, slowly scraping the tea foam, with no intention of rushing her.

Su Wan stood by his side, very naturally kneading Jiang Feng's shoulders.

Zhang Yuniang peeled a Spirit Crystal Grape and fed it to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng understood human nature well; for a Prodigy who had lost their cultivation, as long as a chance was given, even if the process was difficult, the other party would climb up.

"No need to rush for an answer."

Jiang Feng stood up and casually smoothed the wrinkles on his brocade robe.

"I will give you half a day to consider, but before that, I will take you to collect some interest first."

Yao Shifei blurted out: "Where to?"

"It is not so easy to turn the page after offending Jiang Feng's woman."

Jiang Feng's voice was steady, carrying a bit of dominance.

Yao Shifei's pale cheeks flushed, and her pride gradually crumbled in the face of this sentence.

Half an hour later, a spacious carriage drove into the main street of Black Wind City. The driver was a youth carrying a long sword on his back, his brows and eyes filled with sharpness.

The space inside the carriage was spacious; Jiang Feng leaned in the main seat, with Su Wan and Zhang Yuniang snuggled against him on the left and right.

Yuan Chu lay by the carriage window looking out, holding a bag of freshly bought roasted chestnuts in her hands.

Yao Shifei huddled in the corner inside, her expression somewhat unnatural, her gaze occasionally glancing at Jiang Feng's calm face.

The restaurants and tea shops on both sides of the bustling market were extremely quiet; those Loose Cultivator who often engaged in killing were now deliberately lowering their breathing.

Everyone's gaze focused unintentionally on the rear of the carriage, where a hemp rope was tied, dragging a body on the other end, leaving a long trail of blood on the bluestone road.

The tattered gray robe combined with the residual aura of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Power announced the identity of the deceased: Black Wind City Tang Family Old Ancestor Foundation Establishment Cultivator Tang Baichuan.

An hour ago, this old man wanted to extract people's Divine Soul, but now he was being dragged behind a carriage through the streets.

"My god, is that Old Monster Tang?"

"Shut up, do you have a death wish?"

The whispering quickly died down; in the shadows of the street corner, several Tang Family guards hidden in the crowd saw the face of the corpse clearly, their eyes turning red.

"Old Ancestor." Three Tang Family disciples at Qi Refining Stage 7 leaped out from the crowd, drew their Magical Artifacts, and charged straight at the carriage.

Young Master Jiang Chen did not look up; he flicked the carriage whip casually, and the long sword on his back unsheathed by half an inch.

Zheng, a crisp sword hum spread out.

A beam of sword light slashed across the ground; the bodies of the three charging people paused, blood lines appeared at their waists, their three bodies were severed at the waist, and fresh blood splattered onto the bluestone.

Young Master Jiang Chen sheathed his sword, the movement completed in one go, he shook the reins, and the four hooves clattered.

The carriage rolled over the flesh and blood on the ground and continued forward; no one in the entire main street dared to step out even half a step.

Inside the carriage, Yao Shifei watched this scene; a Jiang Family youth driving the carriage had the cultivation of Qi Refining Layer 9, and he was very decisive in drawing his sword and killing.

The Cultivation Technique was fierce, not something that could be found in a place like Heifeng Pass.

Before long, the carriage stopped in front of the Tang Family residence.

Two white jade lions were placed in front of the door, and gold nails were inlaid on the vermilion gate.

Messy footsteps and the humming of the Formation operation came from behind the door.

The Tang Family obviously received the news of the Old Ancestor's death and were hiding behind the walls, on guard.

"Second Master, we have arrived."

Young Master Jiang Chen reined in the horses and turned back to ask for instructions. The carriage curtain was not lifted, and Jiang Feng's voice came out: "Break the door."

Young Master Jiang Chen leaped up from the horse's back.

While in mid-air, his long sword unsheathed, all the Spiritual Power of Qi Refining Layer 9 was poured into the sword body, and a crescent-shaped sword radiance slashed down.

Boom.

The Formation light barrier shattered, wood chips flew everywhere, the ironwood gate was slashed into several pieces by the sword, and the courtyard walls on both sides also collapsed by more than half.

The courtyard was suddenly in chaos; several crossbow bolts shot into the empty space and nailed into the bluestone.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Jiang Feng stepped off the carriage, stepping on the stirrups, with his hands behind his back.

He stood in front of the Tang Family door, stepping on the broken wood covering the ground, his gaze sweeping over the Tang Family Cultivator in the courtyard.

Young Master Jiang Chen held his sword to protect his side and rear; Jiang Feng's voice carried Spiritual Power, the volume was not high, but it spread throughout a small half of Black Wind City.

"Jiangyuan City, Second Master of the Jiang Family, Jiang Feng."

"I have come to see if your Tang Family's assets are enough for compensation."

The Tang Family's current Family Head, Tang Mingyuan, had hands trembling while holding his Magical Artifact sword; looking at Jiang Feng outside the door, and then looking at the Old Ancestor's corpse behind the carriage, he dared not act out.

"Senior..." Tang Mingyuan's voice was hoarse.

"Our Tang Family Old Ancestor is dead, and Wenliang has also been punished. Death is the ultimate punishment."

"We pay cultivation taxes to the Great Yan Dynasty according to the rules and are protected by Huoyang Commandery. If you act so ruthlessly, are you not afraid of the Great Yan Immortal Sect blaming you?"

Jiang Feng laughed.

"Death is the ultimate punishment?"

"That trash of yours coveted the woman I had my eyes on."

"This old bag of bones of yours wanted to break my woman's limbs."

"This is called deserving death."

Jiang Feng's gaze swept over the Tang Family members.

"Hand over the key to the Tang Family treasury. Cripple your cultivation and get out of Black Wind City."

"Within half an hour, any Tang Family member still in the city will be killed without mercy."

Tang Mingyuan's eyes widened; this was to cut off the Tang Family's Legacy.

"You are going too far."

Two Tang Family Qi Refining Stage 8 retainers could not hold back and rushed straight at Jiang Feng.

"So noisy."

Inside the carriage, Yuan Chu threw the peeled chestnut into her mouth. She flicked her finger through the air, and two wisps of Qi energy flew out.

Bang, bang.

The two Qi Refining Stage 8 retainers exploded in mid-air. Their remains fell all over the ground, and the surroundings instantly went quiet.

Tang Mingyuan's knees went weak, and he knelt in the wood chips covering the ground. With trembling hands, he held up a bronze-colored storage ring and a stack of land deeds.

"The Tang Family... admits defeat."

Jiang Feng raised his hand to put the items into his sleeve, then turned to look at Yao Shifei inside the carriage.

"Are you satisfied with this interest?"

Yao Shifei looked at the old man before her who had wiped out a Cultivator Family.

She looked at the Cultivators kneeling on the ground begging for mercy inside the door, completely convinced by Jiang Feng's methods, and there was no more struggle in her heart.

Above Black Wind City.

Three Cultivators hiding their figures flew in the sky and looked down.

One of them was wearing a python robe; it was the City Lord of Black Wind City.

The two on the left and right were the Old Ancestors of the Song Family and Zhao Family in the city.

All three were at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Foundation Establishment Cultivator Tang Baichuan's death attracted the attention of the three, and they originally wanted to come forward and ask.

As a result, they saw at a glance that Foundation Establishment Cultivator Tang Baichuan's corpse was tied behind the carriage.

As well as those two Tang Family retainers being killed in mid-air by the girl in the white dress.

The three were shocked and retracted their escape lights back into the clouds.

"Jiangyuan City? The Jiang Family?"

The Song Family Old Ancestor's hand stroking his beard was shaking.

"A secret report came a few days ago."

"The Wang and Li Families of Jiangyuan City were wiped out overnight, and the Jiang Family unified the whole city."

The Zhao Family Old Ancestor swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Who did Foundation Establishment Cultivator Tang Baichuan have to provoke, why did he have to provoke such a lunatic?"

"Do you two brothers intend to go down and uphold justice?"

The City Lord smiled.

The two shook their heads repeatedly; the Tang Family's collapse was good for them, so naturally, they did not want to provoke the Jiang Family.

The City Lord stared at Jiang Feng below, who was putting away the storage ring, and probed with his Divine Sense; although the other party only had the fluctuations of Qi Refining Stage 6.

But his intuition told him that if he really went down to fight, he would most likely die.

The girl in the white dress was ruthless in her attacks, yet she obeyed Jiang Feng's every word. Obviously, this person could not be judged by appearance.

"The water here is too deep."

The City Lord withdrew his Divine Sense and wiped his sweat.

"Pass down the order. The City Lord's Mansion soldiers will return to the camp immediately and close the gates."

"As for the Tang Family's matter, we are all blind, we saw nothing."

"Whoever dares to provoke the Jiang Family, this City Lord will skin him first."

The clouds surged. Three figures quickly fled.
