The organization created by Ji Wuye, known as Nightfall, was able to dominate Han State thanks to its Four Fierce Generals, who controlled the military, finances, politics, and espionage respectively.
These four generals were known as the Four Fearful Warriors, the Feicui Hu, Lady Mingzhu, Bai Yifei, and the Cloaked Man.
Among them, the Four Fearful Warriors was the leader. His real name was Bai Yifei, a hereditary marquis in Han State with the title Four Fearful Warriors and his domain at Snow Fort, commanding an army of 100,000 soldiers.
Even Ji Wuye did not dare to treat Bai Yifei as a mere subordinate. Their relationship was more like that of partners.
"Last night, on my way back to the mansion, I encountered Bai Yifei's White Armor Army. My grandfather told me he returned to report in Xinzheng City," said Zhang Liang.
Upon hearing this, Han Fei frowned and said, "Bai Yifei, who is usually out leading troops, has suddenly returned. It seems Nightfall is planning something big."
Zinu's expression changed slightly, showing a hint of worry.
Wei Zhuang, on the other hand, remained expressionless, with a hint of eager anticipation in his eyes.
Wei Zhuang enjoyed taking on challenging tasks, which was why he chose to develop his influence in Han State, the weakest of the seven states.
...
The night was calm, with stars filling the sky.
Xiao Feng, who had just finished dinner with Jingni, changed into a black robe and used a disguise technique to alter his appearance before heading to the Han Royal Palace.
Since both Nong Yu and Lady Hu triggered the projection tasks, it was highly likely that Beauty Hu, Lady Hu's sister, would also trigger a projection task.
Moreover, there were many important characters in the Han Royal Palace, making it highly probable to trigger more projection tasks.
At the same time Xiao Feng was heading to the Han Royal Palace, a seductive and passionate demoness from Baiyue also sneaked into the palace with ease.
With her skills, it would normally be difficult for Yanling Ji to sneak into the Han Royal Palace unnoticed, but Ji Wuye had deliberately lowered the defenses.
Ji Wuye understood the principle of "when the birds are gone, the bow is put away; when the cunning hare dies, the hound is cooked." So he chose to maintain his power by raising bandits.
Years ago, when Ji Wuye was ordered to conquer Baiyue, he captured the deposed Crown Prince Tian Ze but did not kill him, instead secretly imprisoning him.
Now, to deal with Han Fei and his group, Ji Wuye followed the Four Fearful Warriors's advice and released Tian Ze, this mad dog.
The Four Fearful Warriors had planted a special poison in Tian Ze that only he could cure, ensuring Tian Ze would not dare to rebel.
Yanling Ji's night raid on the Han Royal Palace was also part of Ji Wuye's plan, aimed at intimidating the Han King so he would rely on Ji Wuye even more.
"Wow! The defenses of the Han Royal Palace are so weak! It's like a sieve. No wonder they were the first to be conquered."
Xiao Feng, unaware of Ji Wuye's deliberate actions, easily infiltrated the palace and couldn't help but silently criticize the situation.
After successfully sneaking into the Han Royal Palace, Xiao Feng captured a young eunuch and forced him to reveal the location of Beauty Hu's palace before knocking him out.
Following the eunuch's directions, Xiao Feng soon arrived outside Beauty Hu's palace.
The Han Royal Palace housed many beauties, but the two most favored were Beauty Hu and Lady Mingzhu.
As the favored concubine of the Han King, Beauty Hu's palace was luxuriously decorated and staffed by dozens of maids and eunuchs.
Even with Xiao Feng's exceptional agility, it was impossible to sneak into Beauty Hu's palace unnoticed, unless he used the "Unmatched Infiltration Technique."
However, Xiao Feng was not an assassin and had no need to kill indiscriminately, so he quietly climbed onto the roof of the palace and carefully removed a tile.
Through the gap, he could see the beautiful scene inside the palace.
Inside, Beauty Hu, with her voluptuous figure, was bathing in a large wooden tub, attended by her maids.
No wonder she was one of the Han King's favorites—she was indeed beautiful and alluring.
You could question the Han King's abilities, but not his taste.
After confirming that Beauty Hu couldn't trigger the projection task, Xiao Feng left disappointed.
Next, Xiao Feng headed to Lady Mingzhu's palace.
Lady Mingzhu's palace was even more luxurious than Beauty Hu's, with more maids and eunuchs serving her.
So, Xiao Feng had to climb onto the roof and peek through a tile again.
"Hmm?"
Lady Mingzhu, who was preparing incense, slightly moved her ears, her narrow eyes flashing with amusement as she calmly lit a stick of incense.
As the incense burned, a faint, pleasant fragrance filled the hall and wafted through the gap in the tiles, reaching Xiao Feng's nose.
(╯▽╰) So fragrant~~
Xiao Feng couldn't help but show a look of enjoyment as he inhaled the soothing scent.
Thanks to his immunity to poisons, he didn't worry about the fragrance being toxic.
"What a seductive woman, the Han King is really lucky..."
Watching Lady Mingzhu in her purple mermaid dress with her ample bosom half-exposed, Xiao Feng felt a surge of heat, his eyes gradually turning red.
Noticing the heavy breathing from the rooftop, Lady Mingzhu smiled slyly, her lips curling in satisfaction.
Every time Lady Mingzhu served the Han King, she used her specially prepared incense and illusions to hypnotize him, thereby controlling his mind and, in turn, the Han Staten court.
The incense Lady Mingzhu had just lit was the same she often used on the Han King. It could amplify the desires of those who inhaled it, causing their minds to become clouded—a special type of aphrodisiac.
Although Xiao Feng was immune to poisons, his immunity didn't extend to aphrodisiacs, just like Duan Yu in the original "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" novel, who couldn't resist the effects of such substances.
[TN: Are you being for real?]
As Xiao Feng was about to rush in and take Lady Mingzhu by force, she suddenly looked up, her eyes locking onto him.
"Damn it!"
The moment their eyes met, Xiao Feng felt a strong wave of dizziness. Realizing he had been tricked, he tried to take an antidote but passed out before he could do so.
[TN: He is becoming more and more retard I feel like…]
