Moshou was the clan master of the Beiming Clan. If he was killed, then it would be a joyous occasion for Feng Feiyun.
However, Feng Feiyun didn't feel happy at all after returning to his mansion.
"Your Excellency, why are you back?"
Feng Feiyun rubbed his forehead, feeling unlucky. Nothing good ever came out of meeting this Evil Woman.
The Evil Woman was like a specter as she stood before Feng Feiyun with a pale face with a faint glow: "You dare to trick me?"
"Of course not!"
Feng Feiyun was alarmed. Could it be that the Evil Woman really captured Moshou and didn't find the vessel on him, so she came back to settle the score with Feng Feiyun?
This was a matter of life and death!
The Evil Woman waved her sleeve and a figure flew out. "Boom!" He fell to the ground.
This person was wearing the official robe of the Grand Chancellor. His aura was vast, indicating that he had reached a very high level. However, at this moment, he was curled up on the ground and shivering while screaming non-stop.
"Who is he?"
Feng Feiyun went forward to check and found that all the bones in this person were broken. His dantian was pierced and his face was a bloody mess. Even his mother wouldn't recognize him.
His actions were too ruthless and inhumane.
"He's the Grand Chancellor of the Jin Dynasty, he doesn't have a vessel on him." The Evil Woman emitted a chilling aura. Thunder condensed in her palm with murderous intent.
"He's not the Grand Chancellor." Feng Feiyun said.
The Evil Woman withdrew the lightning from her palm. Her long hair fluttered in the wind and flew out like a myriad of lightning bolts. They pierced the body of the person on the ground, causing him to wail in pain. She coldly uttered: "Speak, who are you?"
"I … I already told you … I am the Grand Chancellor's younger brother, Beiming Cang."
Feng Feiyun coughed twice and said: "Ahem … Your Excellency, didn't I tell you that he is the Grand Chancellor's brother, not the Grand Chancellor? Why did you still hit him? Plus … it was so incomplete."
Beiming Cang was on the verge of crying: "I already told her but she wouldn't listen, I … I'm being wronged!"
The Evil Woman snorted. Her long hair floated back as she unleashed a palm strike that directly tore Beiming Cang into pieces. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
His blood began to burn, emitting crackling sounds.
This was the burning blood of a Giant.
Feng Feiyun wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. This evil woman was too ruthless, so he consoled her: "Your Excellency, don't be discouraged. Next time, I will be sure to get it right without making a mistake. Why don't you go straight to the Grand Chancellor's mansion?"
The Evil Woman turned around and glared at Feng Feiyun before heading deeper into the mansion.
Feng Feiyun panicked and said: "Hey!
I'm going the wrong way, the exit is over there. "
The Evil Woman didn't turn around and said in a domineering manner: "I want to cultivate in the mansion. Go and prepare three thousand spirit stones for me."
"Based on what?" Feng Feiyun asked.
"Based on what?"
The Evil Woman suddenly stopped and coldly glared at Feng Feiyun. An earth-shattering force struck Feng Feiyun's body and directly forced Feng Feiyun back three steps. If it wasn't for his tough body, a few of his bones would have been broken.
The Evil Woman said: "Because I am stronger than you."
Feng Feiyun steadied himself and said: "Attendant Gui, hurry up and arrange for two sensible maids to prepare a good room for our Miss Xiao. If you don't serve her well, you will suffer."
An old eunuch quickly ran in and arranged for a group of maids and eunuchs to serve the Evil Woman.
"Fuck, Feng Feiyun, who is this woman?
So arrogant. "
Ningshuai came out with a fruit in his hand. He looked at the Evil Woman's beautiful back with a glimmer in his eyes.
"She … is a distant relative. After coming to the capital, she had no one to rely on. I saw that she had no place to stay and no one she knew. She was quite pitiful, so I temporarily took her in for a few days at the Divine King's mansion.
A girl from the countryside doesn't have much experience, so just ignore her. "Feng Feiyun was afraid that Ningshuai would risk his life and attack the Evil Woman, so he said this.
Ningshuai's eyes were full of smiles: "A distant relative? I don't think so!
Did you get your hands on her again? "
"You better not have any ideas or you won't even know how you died." Feng Feiyun warned.
"Is it really that bad?"
"Go and try if you don't believe me!"
With that, Feng Feiyun went to notify the manager of the mansion before going to the forbidden room to cultivate again.
The situation at the capital was becoming more and more delicate. Feng Feiyun had a premonition that the Jin Emperor was about to abdicate after Princess Luofu's groom selection. Once the emperor abdicated, the competition for the crown prince position would become even more dangerous.
In this chaotic world, only by increasing one's cultivation would one have a better chance of survival.
Feng Feiyun's cultivation hadn't stabilized after reaching third-level Heaven's Mandate. One hundred thousand strands of violet energy were rampaging in his central palace. He needed time to stabilize his cultivation.
Feng Feiyun took out the spirit core and held it in his palm. He began to absorb the energy inside in order to stabilize his cultivation.
The energy inside the core was enough for him to quickly reach the half-step Giant realm, the sixth-level Heaven's Mandate.
"Reaching the fourth level from the third level is a small hurdle and will take a long time. Even with a spirit core that allows me to be ten times faster than others, it will still take more than a year."
"That's too long!
The capital will definitely change within a year, I can't wait that long. "
Feiyun used the spirit core to cultivate for two days to solidify his current level. He then stopped cultivating to think of a way to quickly increase his cultivation.
"Let's see how many beast souls I can refine right now."
If he could successfully cultivate the Myriad Beast Physique, Feng Feiyun's cultivation would increase by leaps and bounds.
Feng Feiyun had 9,932 beast souls in his body. Now that he was at third-level Heaven's Mandate, his body became even stronger. He should be able to refine even more.
Feng Feiyun had several dozen beast souls sealed inside his spatial stone. He could refine them at any time.
Feng Feiyun took out a 700-year beast soul and broke the seal. The beast soul rushed out ferociously and attacked Feng Feiyun. However, Feng Feiyun easily suppressed it.
A 700-year beast soul was equivalent to a first-level to second-level Heaven's Mandate. It wasn't enough for Feng Feiyun right now.
"Whoosh!"
It didn't take long for Feiyun to fuse this soul into his body. His physical strength increased by another level.
Nine thousand nine hundred and thirty-three Beast War Souls.
"My body isn't full yet, I can still refine more."
Feng Feiyun took out a second beast soul and wrapped it in his palm. He fully focused on refining it in order to push his body to the limit.
The nine thousand nine hundred and thirty-fourth Exotic Beast Fighting Soul had been successfully refined.
Feng Feiyun refined 32 beast souls in a row before starting to feel strained. His body had reached a state of saturation.
At this point, he had refined 9,964 Exotic Beast Fighting Souls into his body.
"This is definitely not my limit. Again."
Feng Feiyun gritted his teeth and took out another beast soul to force it into his body. This time, it was much more difficult but he still managed to endure it.
Just like that, Feng Feiyun refined five beast souls in a row. After the fifth one, it directly exploded. He had reached the limit of his body and couldn't refine it anymore.
"Six thousand nine hundred and sixty-nine Exotic Beast Fighting Souls. There are still thirty-one Exotic Beast Fighting Souls to reach ten thousand Exotic Beast Fighting Souls. Cultivating the Myriad Beast Fighting Body with a human body is really difficult."
"However, my physique is stronger now. No one at the same level can compare to me. Below half-step, I'm sure no one has a stronger physique than me." Feiyun evaluated himself.
"My cultivation base is still far from the level I want it to be. Epic ranked geniuses all have their own trump cards. If I want to compete with them, I'm still lacking some foundation."
"It would be great if I could get a fifth-ranked Heavenly Core Pill, that would allow me to break through one level."
Feiyun thought about the Heavenly Core Pill, a fifth-ranked pill. It was considered a rare treasure in the Jin Dynasty. Fifth-ranked pills were pitifully rare.
However, this pill would allow Feng Feiyun to reach the fourth level from the third level.
Feng Feiyun knew the materials and method to refine this pill. However, he might not be able to gather all of them in the Jin Dynasty.
"Maybe I can go to the Yin Gou Ward and take a look. If I can gather the materials, it'll save me a year of hard work."
Feng Feiyun left the forbidden room on the fourth day.
"Divine King, someone from the Yin Gou Clan wants to invite you to the Fourth Young Lady's birthday banquet tonight." Attendant Gui respectfully bowed towards Feng Feiyun.
"Today is the eighth of the eleventh month?"
Feng Feiyun raised his brows and calculated with his fingers. He realized that he had been in seclusion for so many days: "Have you prepared the gifts?"
"Of course. 2,000 Spirit Stones, 100 thousand-year-old spirit flowers, 4,000 slaves, 300 maidservants, and three ancient cities," said Eunuch Gui.
Feng Feiyun said: "Isn't it just a young lady from a great clan? Why are we giving her so many expensive gifts?"
"The Fourth Young Lady is famous in the world on top of being a disciple of Sacred Spirit Palace.
Many young geniuses want to take this opportunity to present their most precious gifts and propose marriage. If our Divine King Manor's gifts are too meager, it will be a loss of face, "said Eunuch Gui.
"Fine!
Let's do that then. "Feng Feiyun said.
