Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 284 - 175: Refusing to Save a Life? (2)
"Do you think the Divine Sect’s cultivation technique is trash? Is he a Divine Sect disciple?"
Jiang Feng was shocked internally.
He had always been calculating the identity of the one-eyed elder, never suspecting he was actually a Divine Sect disciple, just a person from Sunset Town, not knowing why Divine Sect disciples had all disappeared?
Has the Divine Sect turned into the Ghost Sect?
Sunset Town has become a cursed land, why can the one-eyed elder remain unaffected?
"Three-legged Body Technique? He’s seeking people who know the Three-legged Body Technique, what is his true purpose?"
From Wu Weiwei’s words, Jiang Feng could already confirm that the only reason he caught the one-eyed elder’s attention was due to the Three-legged Body Technique.
"Could there be an unspeakable secret about this Three-legged Body Technique?"
Recalling the golden road from the past, in the Primordial Realm cultivation, he was able to escape unscathed from Xiao Zhan’s hands.
Ever since then, Jiang Feng realized the Three-legged Body Technique is extraordinary, now the one-eyed elder is consistently looking for people with this technique, even forcibly taking Wu Weiwei away; all signs indicate there is definitely a secret within the Three-legged Body Technique he doesn’t know.
"He’s detoxifying, his True Essence will be greatly depleted, should I seize this chance to capture him and get some answers?"
Jiang Feng thought internally.
"Impossible, a Celestial Profound Realm expert cannot simply be taken down."
"Even if I understand the reason, what good would it do?"
Jiang Feng dismissed this dangerous idea.
Two periods of time later.
The one-eyed elder’s aura had weakened significantly, his True Essence depleted to five or six-tenths, the bee poison within him only a thread left, the True Essence leaking from his palm not as turbulent as before.
A moment later.
The one-eyed elder’s palm leaked no more True Essence.
The bee poison inside him was finally purged completely.
In Wu Weiwei’s eyes, he was still terrifying as ever, even with five or six-tenths of True Essence depleted, he was not someone she could easily deal with, thus she showed a face of despair.
But to Jiang Feng.
The one-eyed elder was equally unfathomable.
Even with five or six-tenths of True Essence depleted, Jiang Feng did not wish to engage him; when faced with Xiao Zhan and Liu Jinhu’s pursuit, he could retreat safely leaving a huge shadow over Jiang Feng, unless absolutely necessary, Jiang Feng preferred to hide like a turtle rather than confront the one-eyed elder head-on.
"Where is your friend?"
The one-eyed elder sealed Wu Weiwei’s Primordial Power, questioning her.
"He left, you did see that?"
Wu Weiwei replied angrily.
"He left with a slow pace while we chased all the way, how come we didn’t encounter him?"
The one-eyed elder asked, puzzled.
Wu Weiwei paused, realizing; yes, with their full speed, why hadn’t they caught up with Jiang Feng?
"Your friend is suspicious, tell me, who is he really?"
The one-eyed elder remained vigilant.
"I’ve only seen him twice, if we haven’t caught up to him, it’s likely he’s urgent about something, his body technique isn’t slow, you won’t catch up."’
Wu Weiwei didn’t want Jiang Feng to be implicated.
Instinctively thought Jiang Feng detected the movement of Heaven and Earth’s power, realized danger, and hurriedly sped away.
Recalling the time in Dragon Capital, before the Spirit Devouring Array erupted, Jiang Feng had already left Dragon Capital. That cautious, careful nature made her believe this possibility to be quite high.
Moreover, Jiang Feng mentioned he secretly learned Loulan Slash and was targeted by the Demon Sect, perhaps mistakenly believing that a master from the Demon Sect was pursuing him.
"Even if he’s nearby, he won’t be able to save you."
The one-eyed elder chuckled sinisterly.
His words startled Jiang Feng’s heart.
Did not believe the one-eyed elder was bluffing him.
Possibly really suspecting he was hiding nearby.
Therefore, Jiang Feng dared not act recklessly.
"Obey me honestly, I won’t make it difficult for you, let’s go!"
The one-eyed elder scanned the surroundings, then grasped Wu Weiwei’s shoulder, and sped off towards Chishui County.
Within the forest.
Jiang Feng continued to hide without emerging, nor did he leak even a trace of aura.
He recalled when the one-eyed elder chased him into the civilian area, pretended to leave, then suddenly pulled a counterattack.
Sure enough.
Less than a tea time.
The one-eyed elder, with Wu Weiwei, reappeared in the same area again.
"I said he’s urgent about something and left, not here."
Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Weiwei secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"Lucky for him."
The one-eyed elder finally decided to let it go and led Wu Weiwei towards the south.
He was worried that Jiang Feng might find out about the abduction of Weiwei, or that they might conspire together, which would cause unnecessary trouble. After confirming repeatedly, he finally decided to let it go and quickly left.
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Feng confirmed there was no danger at all, and then used his primordial power to rush north.
Wu Weiwei didn’t actively involve him, and he was grateful, silently taking note of it. Once he reached Dragon Capital, he would inform the Demon-Suppressing Martial Arts Hall about Wu Weiwei being abducted by the one-eyed elder, hoping that they would find a way to rescue Weiwei.
Beyond this, Jiang Feng couldn’t help Wu Weiwei more.
The one-eyed elder was too strong. He couldn’t risk attempting a rescue just because Wu Weiwei treated him to buns and gave him a bottle of Jade Dew Pill. If the one-eyed elder had some trump card, it would spell disaster.
However, after heading north for a while, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but stop.
He frowned and said, "I may not be able to rescue Wu Weiwei, but that doesn’t mean others can’t. She’s a friend of the Second Prince. I can ask the Second Prince to rescue her."
Jiang Feng couldn’t bear it.
"Fine, I’ll treat it as repaying the favor for the Jade Dew Pill!"
After much hesitation.
Jiang Feng turned around and headed south, assuming that the Second Prince was still in the south.
Because the Second Prince was assigned by the Emperor of the Great Tang to the south to quell the rebel faction. With Nanfu City now overtaken, if he doesn’t reclaim Nanfu City or stabilize the southern situation, the Second Prince won’t be able to report back.
He would surely muster the Court’s troops, ready for a counterattack, and drive the rebels and Demon Sect members out of Nanfu City.
"I don’t need to meet the Second Prince personally. I just need to find his trusted aides and inform them about Wu Weiwei. They’ll definitely find a way to inform the Second Prince right away."
"Wu Weiwei and the Second Prince have a close relationship. What I say surely won’t be neglected by the Second Prince’s people."
Along the way, Jiang Feng thought carefully.
He thought of the valley.
The Second Prince would certainly go there.
Of course, he couldn’t go there himself; approaching would be walking into a trap.
So he went to find those scattered Court troops. Now was the time when they needed all the men they could get. These people would surely be summoned back, ultimately becoming the Second Prince’s troops.
Jiang Feng just needed to stay by them, and sooner or later, he would meet the Second Prince’s trusted aides.
And so, Jiang Feng deliberately lingered behind Wu Weiwei and the one-eyed elder. Upon returning to the post station, he saw scattered troops gathered there, forming a company.
There were about a hundred people.
Among them, a leader was issuing commands, trying to lead these people further north to the nearest small city to request reinforcements.
Most of these people were wounded soldiers.
Many had discarded their helmets and armor, barely able to fight.
Even if they reached the small nearby city, it would be difficult to re-enable them.
Jiang Feng watched for a while before continuing south.
Two hours later, Jiang Feng encountered the scattered troops he had met midway the day before, who had been slaughtering war horses in the woods to stave off hunger. He saw in this group a fully armored, well-equipped troop.
The leader of the troop was giving a speech, trying to rally these people. One head, who had just been beaten all over, was surrounded by small soldiers, who were quivering like cicadas in the cold, obediently listening to the lecture.
"If we can reclaim Nanfu City, each of you will get a reward of a hundred taels of silver and a two-rank promotion. If you seek glory and riches, follow me!"
"His Highness will lead us to reclaim Nanfu City!"
"We’ll follow His Highness!"
"Let’s go!"
The squad leader, using both rewards and threats, radiated the aura of an Upper Third-Grade Martial Artist, ultimately managing to intimidate and conquer the group in front of him, leading them southwest.
Jiang Feng closely observed that head. With cultivation at the Third Grade Refining Spirit Realm, even if he wasn’t a trusted aide of the Second Prince, he must be a subordinate of the Second Prince’s trusted aide.
So, when the troop set off.
Jiang Feng, disguised as a small soldier, ran up and said, "Sir, I have an important matter to report!"
"Speak."
The leader, riding on a horse, glanced at Jiang Feng. Seeing Jiang Feng only wearing a helmet without any other armor, he regarded him as a nobody, his demeanor extremely lazy and disdainful.
"This morning, I saw a woman surnamed Wu being abducted by an old man with one eye missing. In Nanfu City, I saw that the woman surnamed Wu was very close with His Highness. I’m worried she might be in danger, which would undermine His Highness’ grand plans, so I came specially to report it!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Jiang Feng said immediately.
"What did you say?"
The leader hastily pulled the reins.
"Hyah!"
At the same time.
From the southwest direction, a troop galloped quickly towards them.
"Sister Dong!"
Jiang Feng saw that at the forefront of the crowd, clad in red armor, was none other than Han Dong, whom he had been deeply longing for.
