Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law-Chapter 1069: Human Slaughter

Inside the old house.

The lighting in the house was dim, with a brick bed at the center, from which hung a dark medicine pot. The scent of medicinal herbs filled the entire room.

An elder with sallow skin sat on a wooden stool, occasionally poking the stove fire with a stick. Upon seeing Dugu Jinhong and Dugu Mao enter, he didn’t even lift his eyelids,

"Elder Fang!"

Dugu Jinhong, despite his age, showed the respect of a schoolboy in front of the elder, lacking even the courage to sit without being prompted.

The elder lifted his head and glanced at the two.

His face was deeply lined, like chiseled stone, making him appear extremely old!

However, his eyes were exceptionally clear and sharp, with a depth that belied his age!

"Sit!"

"Yes!" Dugu Jinhong and Dugu Mao obediently sat opposite the elder.

"Elder Fang, it’s been many years since we last met. You remain as healthy as ever. I hope you’re well!" Dugu Jinhong said with a smirk.

The elder remained expressionless.

His surname was Fang, with the single given name Wei.

In terms of seniority, he was of the same generation as Dugu Jinhong’s grandfather!

Now, he was already over one hundred thirty years old!

On the surface, he seemed decrepit and frail.

But in reality, both Dugu Jinhong and Dugu Mao knew that this elder’s power had long reached a miraculous level, even beyond the Human King Realm!

Dugu Jinhong recalled that in his youth, Fang Wei had a nickname: "Human Slaughter"!

As the name implies, he had slaughtered countless people, leaving fields of corpses!

Not to mention, the Unfrozen Creek outside had remained unfrozen for years due to Fang Wei’s accumulated killing aura, leaving it lifeless!

For this reason, both he and Dugu Mao dared not carelessly approach, fearing the touch of death!

"So, what’s happened to the Dugu Family now?"

Fang Wei’s tone remained hoarse and indifferent, getting straight to the point.

"Elder Fang, to be honest, I’m here to discuss a grievous matter!"

As they got to the main topic, Dugu Jinhong’s expression turned grim: "My grandson, the Xiao Jian you’ve met before, was silenced recently in Binhai!"

"Oh?"

Fang Wei slightly raised his eyebrows. At his level, it was rare for anything to surprise him.

He wasn’t shocked that the naturally arrogant Dugu Jian was killed, but rather who had the audacity to ignore the Dugu Family’s status in Jiangdong and act as an assassin?

"Who did it?"

"A young man from Binhai, Jiang Feng!"

Dugu Jinhong said through gritted teeth, "This person is an extraordinary martial arts talent. Not only did he kill Xiao Jian, but he also killed our family’s two other Great Sacrificial Officers, Heavenly Deaf and Earthly Mute!"

"Even the previously considered top young expert of the Provincial City, Luu Fengxian, was defeated by him! As an outsider, he and our Dugu Family are now irreconcilable, in a life-and-death struggle!"

Fang Wei found this even more incredulous. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Although he had retired for many years, he still heard about events in the martial arts world.

Across the schools, hidden forces, and even national martial artist organizations in China, few could be found who could, at a young age, kill a master at the Human King Realm!

"Interesting. Talents arise in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years... I never expected to hear such astonishing news in my lifetime."

Fang Wei began to feel some interest, the light in his old eyes flaring like an old beast that had caught the scent of prey!

"Senior Fang, this isn’t mere gossip; it’s an absolute fact! That young man emerged like a comet, taking a stand against the Dugu Family, and has become our family’s dire threat, having now killed the young master!"

Dugu Mao said through clenched teeth, "The blood debt he owes can only be repaid with blood! That’s why the Family Head thought of you; only you can come out of retirement to extinguish him..."

"You mean to have me, a retired old man over 130 years old, deal with a young man?"

Fang Wei squinted his eyes.

"Senior Fang, you mustn’t think like that! If you underestimate him because he’s young, you’ll suffer greatly!"

Dugu Mao hastily said, "That’s exactly what happened before, leading to repeated mistakes and resulting in the young master’s death in Binhai! You’re now the Dugu Family’s last hope, and we earnestly seek your aid!"

Fang Wei chuckled coldly, his eyes more complex, leaving no one certain of his thoughts.

Just as Dugu Jinhong and Dugu Mao held their breath, not daring to exhale—

Fang Wei suddenly laughed again, with an exceedingly sinister tone!

"Alright, these old bones of mine do want to see the world again."

"It’s been too long in solitude; it’s rare to encounter something that intrigues me. I might as well make a move this once!"

Dugu Jinhong and Dugu Mao were overjoyed at his words, and Dugu Mao quickly said, "Elder Fang, the car is outside. When shall we depart? What would you need me to bring?"

Fang Wei snorted coldly, disinclined to say more.

He stood up, took his medicine pot, prepared a few doses, and swallowed them before extinguishing the stove fire and shuffling out.

Dugu Jinhong and Dugu Mao exchanged a glance and hurriedly followed with quick steps!

They knew that when Fang Wei came out of retirement, Jiang Feng’s death was certain!!

...

Huafu Shanshui.

Jiang Feng didn’t know how long he had been lying there before he gradually awakened.

He had unknowingly fallen asleep.

It was truly because Feng Yueji’s foot massage was too comfortable; her delicate feet were more exquisite than those of professional masseuses.

"Master, you’re awake?"

Feng Yueji was still sitting beside Jiang Feng. Seeing him awaken, she quickly withdrew a little, her cheeks flushing with a rosy hue.

Just moments ago, she had mustered up courage for a long time, finally deciding to steal a kiss from Jiang Feng, but he woke up just in time to foil her plan, leaving her somewhat disappointed.

"Mm."

Jiang Feng propped himself up, looked around the living room: "How long did I sleep? What time is it?"

"Not even an hour yet."

Feng Yueji glanced outside deliberately, with a hint of longing, and said: "Master, it’s raining outside, and quite heavily—you... will you go back tonight?"

In her heart, there was a desire. Although she didn’t dare hope for anything to happen with Jiang Feng, just having him stay a little longer would make her content.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Feng, without even thinking, refused outright: "Leave!"

"My clothes must be dry by now, right, where are they?"

Feng Yueji sighed faintly in her heart, somewhat disappointed.

"They’re in the washing machine. I’ll go get them for you..."

It seemed Jiang Feng still did not understand her feelings, only seeing her as an apprentice.

With a heavy heart, she got off the sofa to fetch Jiang Feng’s clothes.

But suddenly, slipping unexpectedly, she collapsed into Jiang Feng’s arms as if she had lost her balance!
