Chapter 165: Jia Xingtian, I Will Take Good Care of Your Two Granddaughters!
Above the sky, 500 miles outside the imperial capital, Chen Feng spread his massive Thunder Wings, maintaining the speed of an ordinary Dou Wang, flying towards the direction of WWu Tan City.
Suddenly, behind Chen Feng, a hurried breaking sound rang out.
"It seems that the royal family can no longer wait!"
Upon hearing this sound, Chen Feng's face was very calm. As early as 200 miles away from the imperial capital, he had already discovered this powerful aura following him.
Soon, a dazzling yellow light ball overtook him and appeared in front of Chen Feng, stopping him.
The yellow light ball receded, revealing a white-haired old man in a linen robe. This person was Jia Xingtian, the guardian of the Jia Ma royal family, who Chen Feng and Haibo Dong had met yesterday.
"Jia Lao, you've followed me for 300 miles, and you finally show up!"
Looking at Jia Xingtian who appeared in front of him, Chen Feng showed a faint smile on his face and spoke loudly.
"What? This kid actually discovered me long ago?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian's originally calm old face suddenly showed a surprised look. Chen Feng's words clearly indicated that he had discovered him following him long ago.
Moreover, at this moment, Chen Feng's face still looked very calm. This kind of cultivation talent and calm temperament made Jia Xingtian's killing intent even stronger.
"Young man, I have to admit, your sensing ability is very strong… I suppose you should also be clear about the purpose of my coming here today!"
Jia Xingtian sighed lightly, his words full of murderous intent.
"Hehe, what's unclear about this, Old Man Jia just feels that my existence poses a threat to your royal family, and wants to kill me to eliminate future troubles!"
Upon hearing Jia Xingtian's words, Chen Feng chuckled lightly, his face still calm.
"You are indeed a smart person, and you have a lot of guts. Unfortunately, people who are too smart and too bold often don't live long!"
As these words fell, Jia Xingtian no longer hesitated. He fully released his killing intent and shot towards Chen Feng. His pair of withered palms, carrying a heavy Dou Qi energy, directly slapped towards Chen Feng's forehead.
However, just as Jia Xingtian rushed out in an instant, a black shadow suddenly flashed beside Chen Feng. After the black shadow appeared, it directly met Jia Xingtian's withered palms.
"Boom!"
The two collided, and a fierce energy ripple erupted from the collision point, sweeping a small piece of heaven and earth.
After the collision, Jia Xingtian and that small black shadow both retreated back.
At this moment, Jia Xingtian finally saw what had collided with him just now, a very small black cat.
"It's actually a high-level sixth-order magical beast!"
Sensing the powerful aura on Ling You, Jia Xingtian's face immediately turned ugly.
Ling You's small body contained a huge power. If it weren't for Jia Xingtian's cultivation of earth attribute Dou Qi, which was heavy and majestic, he would have suffered a big loss in that collision just now.
"I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to have a high-level sixth-order magical beast to help you!"
Next, Jia Xingtian did not continue to take action. He finally understood why Chen Feng was so calm.
"Unfortunately, it's too late!"
Chen Feng sighed, then shouted at Ling You, "Ling You, take him down!"
As Chen Feng's words fell, Ling You's figure once again rushed towards Jia Xingtian. This time, her body was filled with a layer of hot black flame.
"It's actually a beast fire!"
Seeing the black flame enveloping Ling You, Jia Xingtian did not dare to be careless and hurriedly condensed a thick yellow armor around his body.
"Boom!"
In the sky, every collision between Ling You and Jia Xingtian would cause a huge energy ripple. Jia Xingtian had to condense Dou Qi armor to resist the burning of the black flame, causing a huge consumption of Dou Qi in his body.
Obviously, even though they were both at the peak of Dou Huang, Jia Xingtian couldn't get any advantage in Ling You's hands.
"Purple Demon Vulture, you come out too!"
Looking at the somewhat anxious battlefield in the sky, Chen Feng had an idea and called out Purple Demon Vulture.
"Screech!"
Upon receiving the command, Purple Demon Vulture immediately flapped its wings, and its huge body rushed towards Jia Xingtian.
"Another sixth-order magical beast, how did it appear?"
The appearance of Purple Demon Vulture made Jia Xingtian tremble in his heart. Earlier, Ling You had appeared out of thin air next to Chen Feng. Although he was surprised, Ling You's small body size didn't make him think too much. He thought it was hidden on Chen Feng's body and the aura was well concealed.
But Purple Demon Vulture, with its huge body, couldn't possibly be hiding on Chen Feng's body, could it?
At this moment, Jia Xingtian didn't have much time to think. After Purple Demon Vulture rushed over, its huge and sharp claws were already carrying a fierce wind towards his face.
Previously, when fighting with Ling You, a small-bodied magical beast, Jia Xingtian still dared to collide head-on. But at this moment, facing the huge claws of Purple Demon Vulture, he could only temporarily avoid the sharp edge and dodge as much as possible.
With the addition of Purple Demon Vulture, Jia Xingtian, who had not been able to get any advantage in Ling You's hands, soon fell into a huge disadvantage.
"Bang!"
At some point, the thick yellow armor around Jia Xingtian was finally hit by Purple Demon Vulture and shattered. His back was also hit hard, and a wound that was deep enough to see the bone appeared, scratched by the sharp claws.
As soon as the energy armor shattered, the sky full of black flames swept over, enveloping his body.
"The timing is right!"
Seeing this, Chen Feng seized the opportunity and quickly made a strange seal with his hands.
Suddenly, a golden light pillar burst out from Chen Feng's hand and shot directly into the huge black flame.
Relying on his powerful soul perception, even if his vision was blocked and he couldn't see Jia Xingtian's specific location, the energy of the golden light pillar still hit Jia Xingtian without any deviation.
"Ling You, stop, don't burn him to death!"
Just as the golden light pillar entered Jia Xingtian's body, Chen Feng hurriedly ordered Ling You to withdraw the black flame.
Upon hearing this, Ling You quickly withdrew the black flame back into her body.
And as the black flame dissipated, a very embarrassed figure reappeared in Chen Feng's sight.
At this moment, Jia Xingtian's hair was disheveled, many parts of his body were burnt black by the fire, and the hideous wound on his back was still bleeding.
"No, how could my cultivation be sealed!"
The black flame was withdrawn by Ling You, but Jia Xingtian did not have any way to escape. He roared loudly, his old face showing a strong struggle. However, the next moment, his breath began to weaken, and the yellow wings behind him also began to fade, and then quickly disappeared.
"Ah!"
"Without the support of his Dou Qi Twin Wings, Jia Xing Tian's body plummeted from the sky, emitting a sharp scream. Yet, as he fell a hundred meters, the massive figure of the Purple Demon Vulture swooped beneath him, allowing him to land on its back.
Soon, Chen Feng also vibrated his Thunder Wings and arrived on the back of the Purple Demon Vulture.
Lying on the vulture's back, Jia Xing Tian laboriously lifted his head. His cloudy, old eyes looked up at Chen Feng, who was gazing down at him. His eyes were filled with astonishment and regret. Had he known that Chen Feng had two Level 6 demonic beasts as helpers, he would never have attacked Chen Feng in this manner. Now, defeated and his cultivation sealed, the entire Jia Ma Imperial Family had lost their support. Destruction was merely a matter of time.
"Hehe, Jia Lao, do you still want to kill me now?" Chen Feng's mouth curled in a disdainful smirk as he looked down at the miserable and extremely weakened Jia Xing Tian.
"How could I kill you? Your methods are so exquisite, I am no match. Death is my only option!" Jia Xing Tian replied in a hoarse voice.
"However, this matter is my decision alone. I hope that after I pass away, you can seize the Jia Ma Imperial power and spare the lives of Yao Ye and Yao Yue, those two innocent girls. They are unaware of this!" Hearing this, Jia Xing Tian's eyes dimmed, followed by a raspy plea directed towards Chen Feng.
"Haha... Yao Ye is innocent, what a joke. She harbored intentions to kill me even before you, old man!" Chen Feng couldn't help but sneer upon Jia Xing Tian's plea for Yao Ye and Yao Yue.
"Alas... It seems those assassins sent by Yao Ye last time were dealt with by you!" Jia Xing Tian sighed heavily, his gaze growing even more desolate. With that incident, his chances of pleading for Yao Ye's mercy from Chen Feng were practically nil.
"Old man, you don't need to worry about Yao Ye and Yao Yue. I will take good care of them..." Chen Feng chuckled, swiftly knocking out the injured and sealed Jia Xing Tian.
In the next moment, with a thought, Chen Feng produced a black pill in his palm. Then, prying open Jia Xing Tian's mouth, he forced the black pill inside.
The effects of the Puppet Pill were irresistible unless one's cultivation reached the Dou Zong level. It would quickly establish a connection between the user and Chen Feng.
When Jia Xing Tian woke again, his gaze towards Chen Feng was filled with extreme reverence. He bent down, paying a great homage. "Jia Xing Tian pays respects to the Master!"
Seeing this, Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction. He then cast a series of seals, adjusting Jia Xing Tian's cultivation to the peak of Nine-Star Dou Huang. He instructed, "Jia Xing Tian, when you return, don't let anyone notice your injuries. Also, give orders for Princess Yao Ye to be married to me as a concubine..."
"As you command, Master! I will handle this matter properly!" Jia Xing Tian replied with utmost respect.
Now, even the hidden power behind the Jia Ma Imperial Family was under Chen Feng's control. In the future, the entire Jia Ma Empire would fall into Chen Feng's hands.
...
Wu tan City, Mithril Auction House.
For a while now, Ya Fei had been overseeing affairs at the Mithril Auction House in Wu Tan City.
However, more than two months ago, Ya Fei suddenly went into seclusion, no longer involved in any matters. The business of the auction house deteriorated day by day. Some among the management of other auction houses began to complain.
Some had even reported Ya Fei's actions back to the imperial capital, intending to pressure her or directly replace her with other family members to manage the Wu Tan City branch.
Deep within the auction house, in a luxurious pavilion.
Wearing a thin red robe, Ya Fei sat alone in the room, her pearly teeth biting her red lips. Her enchanting face, usually akin to a stunning beauty, now held a faint sorrow.
At one moment, Ya Fei lowered her head, looking at her slightly bulging abdomen. The sadness in her eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by tenderness.
As it turned out, the reason Ya Fei hadn't been outside for more than two months was because the child in her belly had gradually grown. She couldn't conceal the changes in her belly. If she went out, people would immediately know she was pregnant. At that time, being an unmarried woman with a big belly would attract countless undesirable comments.
"Child, it seems that your father won't come to marry me before your birth... He just married the eldest daughter of the Nalan family not long ago. If he comes to marry me now, the pressure would be too much!"
Caressing her stomach, Ya Fei sighed softly, her words tinged with a sense of loss.
The cool night breeze blew into the room through the window, making her feel a slight chill in her thin attire.
Ya Fei stood up, walking towards the window against the cold wind. She raised her head, gazing up at the bright moon in the sky.
"Anyway, I'm carrying the child of Brother Chen Feng... With Brother Chen Feng's talent, he will surely become a person of strength and status in the future. Waiting a little longer won't hurt."
After a while, Ya Fei's charming eyes suddenly curved slightly, shimmering with determination and temptation.
"It's so cold tonight, standing by the window, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
Just as Ya Fei's thoughts wandered, a familiar and gentle voice suddenly sounded behind her, and a black robe gently draped over her.
Suddenly turning her head, Ya Fei stared blankly at the familiar handsome face. In a daze, her nose felt a bit sour.
"Brother Chen Feng, you've finally come to see me!"
Wiping her nose gently, Ya Fei opened her arms and embraced Chen Feng, burying her face against his chest, feeling the warmth emanating from him.
Seeing the alluring figure in his arms, Chen Feng also revealed tenderness in his eyes, whispering softly, "Elder Sister Ya Fei, I'm late. I'm sorry for making you suffer!"
Chen Feng could keenly feel Ya Fei's grievances and her feelings for him. She had given up her meticulous management of the Mithril Auction House branch for the sake of their child.
"It's not late. Brother Chen Feng, I'm very happy and satisfied that you're here!" Ya Fei gently shook her head, her voice slightly choked up.
"Elder Sister Ya Fei, I came here this time to take you back to the imperial capital and marry you!" Chen Feng spoke directly.
"Really? Brother Chen Feng, you wouldn't be teasing your sister, would you?"
As Chen Feng's words fell, Ya Fei suddenly raised her head, her charming face showing strong anticipation.
"It's true. The clan leader is already arranging our wedding, and the invitations have been sent to various influential families!" Chen Feng nodded with a smile.
"That's great! I knew I didn't misjudge you!"
Upon hearing Chen Feng's affirmative answer, joy finally appeared on Ya Fei's face. She tiptoed, and her sexy lips pressed against Chen Feng's mouth.
Feeling the sweetness and moisture on the corners of his mouth, Chen Feng responded passionately, his hand embracing Ya Fei's delicate body more firmly."
