I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 109 - 100: Handsome Yama Actually Escaped

As for the Primordial Pill, it’s priceless and often costs twenty to thirty thousand taels of silver to obtain just one. It’s a Treasure Medicine that enhances the cultivation of Martial World elders and Wind and Cloud List prodigies.

Lu Chengfeng managed to gather five Primordial Pills, along with two bottles containing twenty-four Five Qi Pills.

The last entourage sent to Immortal Tower returned empty-handed, as expected.

"Third Master, the people at Immortal Tower are too arrogant, they simply disregard us." The returning entourage said angrily, gnashing his teeth.

Lu Chengfeng, however, had anticipated this. He smiled and said, "They’ve already considered me a dead man, so naturally they wouldn’t be willing to spend such a large sum of silver."

"But it doesn’t matter; today’s cause will lead to tomorrow’s effect. When I flatten Immortal Tower in the future, it will all stem from this incident."

Zhao Tianyou, on the side, was somewhat worried, "It’s about to get dark now, and the Li Family is coming to kill us."

"They have many people, coupled with experts like Li Chungen, Li Xiaoyun, Li Xiaojie, and Li Chengqian who have cultivated True Intent. With just us present here, I’m afraid we’ll be completely annihilated."

"Without reinforcements, the bloodbath that occurred at my Zhao Family ancestral home sixty years ago might repeat itself."

Lu Chengfeng laughed, "Reinforcements will certainly come, but not here."

Zhao Tianyou asked somewhat puzzled, "What does this mean?"

Lu Chengfeng stood up and said calmly, "I’ve decided to take everyone and leave Central Capital."

Zhao Tianyou was entirely stunned, pointing his finger at him and somewhat flustered, he said, "You... didn’t you say you were going to deal with the Li Family? Are you just going to flee like this?"

"Why not? A real man knows when to yield; now the old folks of the Li Family are coming out in full force to kill me. If I don’t escape, should I stay here and wait for death?"

Lu Chengfeng showed no hesitation and said righteously, "Alright, that’s settled, let’s head out now. Apart from silver notes, we won’t take anything else."

"Travel light, ride horses, let’s go now."

Zhao Tianyou’s face turned green, feeling deceived by this guy in front of him. He originally thought Lu Chengfeng was a lawless and arrogant bandit leader with a strong backing, sure to clash with the Li Family and cause a great upheaval.

But who could have expected such a result?

Back then Zhao Tianyou lived cowardly for twenty years, lingering in brothels to survive, and now someone was supposed to avenge him, only to be left in the lurch?

"Zhao Tianyou, are you joining me or not?" Lu Chengfeng said and immediately prepared to leave, signaling his entourage to ready horses while he himself intended to pick up Su Wanqing. He only asked this question as he was about to step out.

Zhao Tianyou felt as if he would puke blood out of anger, but at this point, he could only grit his teeth and say, "I’m going!"

"That’s right, I thought you were going to stay here to die." Lu Chengfeng said with a smile, turned around to leave, "Hurry up and pack, we’ll set off in fifteen minutes."

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Chengfeng held Su Wanqing in his arms, both riding one horse, with Zhao Tianyou and a dozen other entourage members following on horseback. The group galloped swiftly towards the city gate of Central Capital.

At this time, various factions in Central Capital were closely monitoring Lu Chengfeng’s group’s movements. No one expected that the Handsome Yama, who was arrogant and domineering during the day, would actually flee so hastily, surprising everyone.

The Li Family had originally prepared over a hundred elite warriors, armor-clad and sword-bearing, led by Li Xiaoyun and Li Chengqian, with Li Chungen providing support, intending to leave no one alive from the Zhao Family.

Who could have thought that the Handsome Yama would really escape?

"Turns out he’s all bark but no bite; the display during the day was just for show." Li Chengqian disdainfully said, "Grandfather, I think we don’t need such a grand arrangement. I will personally take action and surely bring back his head."

"Xiaoyun, what do you think?" Li Chungen said noncommittally, asking his second son Li Xiaoyun.

Li Xiaoyun, who over the years had run martial arts schools in Central Capital and dealt with dirty jobs privately to clear obstacles for the Li Family, was more ruthless. Listening to his father’s question, he pressed the sword at his waist and said, "This man disregards dignity, knows when to yield and shows depth. If he harbors ill intentions towards my Li Family, he is definitely a threat and mustn’t be left alive."

"Ah, but I promised under the public eye that I would let him go if he leaves Central Capital. If I broke my word, it would become a laughing stock, and it might also anger Youdu." Li Chungen took a swig from his wine gourd while saying this.

"Let’s do this, chase him down, kill everyone except the Handsome Yama."

"Also, tell the Su Family to send people to participate. I heard they gave three Primordial Pills to the Handsome Yama, what a pity, being indecisive is useless!"

"Yes, Father." Li Xiaoyun agreed, swiftly mounted his horse, and upon calling out, over a hundred armor-clad elite knights followed him and chased after them beyond the city gate.

Meanwhile, another group in Central Capital, comprising Fairy Qionghua Du Mengyan, Tan Xiong, Du Xiaoyue, and others from the Yuncang Sword Sect, were also secretly following Lu Chengfeng and his companions.

"Sister, Handsome Yama is nearing the ferry; should we interfere?" Tan Xiong, holding a copper rod, asked.

Du Xiaoyue, with a soft whip around her waist, wearing a tight-fitting red dress, her hair in twin buns split like celestial locks, feet in deer-hide boots, holding a sheathed sword, looked like a personification of fire.

"Sister, if you ask me, we should hide our identities and find a way to stall them for a while. Then, when the city gate closes, the Li Family and Handsome Yama would certainly engage in a fierce battle."

"When that happens, Youdu and Central Capital will surely turn hostile, and the mission given by our sect will have the hope of completion."
