Chapter 417: Chapter 220: Soul-Stabilizing Jade, He’s Not Dead? (2)

It is said that the ancestor of the Demon Sect was a powerful wizard.

The renowned Ten Directions Ghost Realm evolved from the wizard’s magic.

Jiang Feng didn’t expect that there was a wizard backing the Turks.

"Do you know where the Turkic wizards are hiding?"

Jiang Feng asked with curiosity.

The mysterious and elusive nature of those people made Jiang Feng reluctant to interact with them unless necessary. But now, being pursued by the Divine Sect and hunted by the Great Tang Emperor, he thought it would be best to use the power of the Turkic wizards for his safety.

The Little Cyan Snake shook its head.

Jiang Feng raised his hand.

The Little Cyan Snake shook its head more vigorously, seemingly truly unaware of where the Turkic wizards were hiding.

After thinking it over, Jiang Feng found it unsurprising that the Little Cyan Snake didn’t know. If the Turkic wizards were exposed, the Great Tang Emperor would likely unite with the Divine Sect to eliminate them entirely to prevent any future troubles.

This suggests that the Turkic wizards are likely supporting new forces to regain control over the Turkic Empire and continue opposing the Great Tang.

In any case, Jiang Feng might be able to make use of them.

If he hid near them, the Great Tang Emperor and the Divine Sect might not dare to approach him.

"Now that you’re in my hands, who will the Great Tang Emperor send next to deal with me?"

Jiang Feng asked again.

The Little Cyan Snake hesitated before writing: "Divine Sect."

"That cunning dog emperor."

Jiang Feng cursed, realizing that he’d been tossed over to the Divine Sect like a piece of garbage.

"Did the Second Prince leave any last words before he died?"

Jiang Feng had always wanted to know if the Second Prince had said anything after being struck several times with the Qinglong Cauldron in their long secret feud.

There was originally no deep hatred between them.

The conflict started with a ledger that belonged to Cao Zhengyang. Jiang Feng had saved the situation multiple times and didn’t want to fall out with the Second Prince. However, the situation spiraled out of control, and the conflict with the Second Prince intensified.

Nonetheless, Jiang Feng believed that the Second Prince died without realizing he had fallen at the hands of the Little Prison Chief of the Zhenbei Prison.

"You struck him so hard that his soul scattered, and the Soul-Stabilizing Jade couldn’t even capture his Soul Token. When the Emperor found him, he was already dead."

The Little Cyan Snake wrote earnestly.

"He died right then?"

Jiang Feng was shocked.

He didn’t expect the power of the Qinglong Cauldron to be so great, scattering the Second Prince’s soul with just a few strikes.

"What is the Soul-Stabilizing Jade?"

He was curious.

"It is a life-saving magical artifact given to the Second Prince by the Divine Sect, capable of capturing his soul at critical moments to prevent it from scattering."

The Little Cyan Snake wrote again.

After writing it, it thought it was somewhat ironic.

After all, it was Jiang Feng who scattered the Second Prince’s soul.

So it added: "The Emperor blamed the Soul-Stabilizing Jade for being useless and crushed it on the spot."

"He’s so powerful he can crush a magical artifact."

Jiang Feng was shocked once more.

Previously, when the Little Cyan Snake said he was no match for the Great Tang Emperor, Jiang Feng was unconvinced. Now, hearing that the Great Tang Emperor could crush a magical artifact, he was deeply shaken.

"The Soul-Stabilizing Jade can only capture souls; its protective power is not strong. The Emperor got angry, thinking that the protective magical treasure given by the Divine Sect was insufficient, and crushed it in his fury."

The Little Cyan Snake, knowing quite a bit, wrote again.

"In the pain of losing a son, his potential erupted."

Jiang Feng believed the Great Tang Emperor was in this state when he managed to crush the magical artifact.

The Little Cyan Snake flicked its tongue and obediently wrote three words: "Probably so."

It was cunning and shrewd, knowing what Jiang Feng liked to hear.

"Since the Great Tang Emperor sent you here, why didn’t you stay outside the Divine Sect Mansion and join forces with the Divine Sect Saintess to deal with me?"

Jiang Feng found this puzzling.

If the Little Cyan Snake and the Saintess had worked together, he might not have escaped.

"It was the Emperor’s command."

The Little Cyan Snake confessed honestly.

"Why did he do this? To capture me and bring me back for his personal interrogation?"

Jiang Feng thought it over and felt that the Great Tang Emperor was worried about him being taken by the Divine Sect, losing his control over the judgment. Hence, he ordered the Little Cyan Snake to ambush him, and if he could escape the Divine Sect’s encirclement, capture him and return to the Dragon Capital overnight.

The Little Cyan Snake hesitated and then wrote: "The Emperor ordered me to kill you directly."

"Oh, he was so afraid of me dying at the hands of the Divine Sect?"

Jiang Feng said angrily.

The Little Cyan Snake lowered its head, glanced at Jiang Feng, and stopped writing.

Despite his anger, Jiang Feng noticed the change in the Little Cyan Snake’s expression and immediately felt that it was hiding something from him.

"Smack!"

Jiang Feng slapped the Little Cyan Snake, turning it into a noodle rolling on the ground.

"Tell me honestly, reveal everything you know, or I’ll pluck you with a bowstring."

Jiang Feng said angrily.

He had always been wary of the Little Cyan Snake.

He didn’t fully trust its words.

With nothing better to do, he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"I’m not lying to you. The Emperor indeed sent me to kill you, even if you fall into the Divine Sect’s hands. I must put you to death."

The Little Cyan Snake quickly wrote another line.

"Why is he so eager, fearing that if I fall into the Divine Sect’s hands, I might survive?"

Jiang Feng found it strange.

The Second Prince was the biological son of the Great Tang Emperor, the future heir, and also a Saint Heir of the Divine Sect, valuable to the Divine Sect’s future. No matter whose hands he fell into, it meant certain death, so why was the Great Tang Emperor so eager to kill him?

Even if he fell into the Divine Sect’s hands, he wanted him killed first.

If someone harbored such a profound hatred, they would typically want to kill him personally. Instead, he handed it over to the Little Cyan Snake for disposal.
