Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 878 - 888: Repaying Kindness
The ten top experts of the Azure Dragon Royal Family, after several days of recuperation, have mostly recovered.
They harbor a deep hatred for Chu Feng and all ten have joined the siege army.
Others aside, that Five Tribulation Supreme Sword God is truly formidable.
Even the most powerful of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, Qiu Jizi, was no match for this person and was utterly defeated.
The defenses of the Outer City cannot compare to those of the Imperial Palace.
No one can resist that Five Tribulation Supreme Sword God, and the enemy swiftly breached the city wall, creating an opening. It’s believed that it won’t be long before the Outer City’s gates fall under enemy control.
By then, the Outer City will surely fall. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Chu Feng stood before the Imperial Palace, his brows furrowed, at his wit’s end.
The Azure Dragon Palace was exceedingly sturdy, especially with its protective array, which was insanely formidable. To rely on the few men Chu Feng had to capture the palace seemed an insurmountable feat.
"Emperor, we’re in a predicament, the situation is dire. Perhaps you and the two imperial concubines could disguise yourselves as ordinary citizens of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom and look for a chance to escape!" The Beixie National Master sighed heavily, lamenting the inexorability of fate.
The Great Chu Empire was established with great difficulty, but with its weak foundation and overwhelmingly powerful enemies,
it seemed unlikely that it could endure.
"If we escape, we escape together! It’s not come to that yet! If we truly fail, I will lead everyone on a bloody path to escape together!" Chu Feng was a man of deep affection and loyalty; these soldiers had braved life and death with him.
He would never abandon them and flee alone.
"I’ll think of a way to find an opportunity to enter the Imperial Palace and open the gates."
Chu Feng’s Demon Body could tunnel through the earth, if not for the palace’s continually activated protective array. It would have infiltrated long ago.
Just as Chu Feng was at his wits’ end and in a perilous situation, a personal soldier rushed over.
"Emperor, someone seeks an audience, claiming they can aid you in overcoming the present crisis."
"Oh, please invite them quickly!"
Chu Feng was inwardly puzzled; who would be willing to help him at this juncture?
Soon, a woman wrapped entirely in black clothing, her face veiled in black, was brought into Chu Feng’s command tent.
Chu Feng’s two delightful wives were attending him.
They curiously eyed the black-clothed woman.
"Greetings, benefactor!" The black-clothed woman bowed respectfully to Chu Feng.
"You are?" Chu Feng looked at her quizzically.
"Benefactor, have you forgotten? That day at the Pang Residence, it was all thanks to you..." The black-clothed woman removed her black veil, revealing a beautiful face of national grace and divine fragrance. This woman was none other than Madam Huang Yuerou from the Pang Residence.
Her looks were not any lesser compared to Han Xiaoying or Han Shuang.
Only, her aura was somewhat lacking, and she lacked their spiritual energy.
"Husband, who is she? When did you... engage in such romantic affairs outside?" Han Shuang and Han Xiaoying asked, slightly envious.
It was apparent to anyone that their tone carried a strong hint of jealousy.
Their pretty faces were exceptionally cold.
"Dear sisters, please don’t be upset. I am a married woman and have maintained a clear relationship with your husband. Your husband is a gentleman, a good man." Huang Yuerou hurriedly helped Chu Feng out of the situation.
Recalling the scene in the Alchemy Room that day, a blush rose on Huang Yuerou’s cheeks, and her heart brimmed with admiration for Chu Feng’s character.
"Who are you calling sister? Don’t randomly establish close relations!" Han Shuang wasn’t so easygoing.
She coldly observed Huang Yuerou, full of hostility.
Until she clarified whether Chu Feng and Huang Yuerou had an intimate relationship, she would not lower her guard.
"Benefactor, this is a letter I’ve written and my personal token. You need only send someone to deliver them to Dragon Guard Commander Pang outside the city; he will naturally repay your kindness.".
Huang Yuerou did not argue with Han Shuang but instead took out a written letter and a girl’s incense bag from her bosom.
Without further ado, she handed them to Chu Feng, bowed respectfully, then nodded to Han Shuang and Han Xiaoying, greeting them, and turned to leave.
Holding the letter and incense bag, Chu Feng was too shocked to find words.
He never expected that Huang Yuerou’s true identity was the wife of Commander Pang.
And who was Commander Pang? The chief commander of the Dragon Guard, one of the fierce generals under the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.
The attack on the Outer City by the Dragon Guard was led by this man.
A good cause yields good results.
Who would have thought that saving Huang Yuerou would result in such a significant reward? Chu Feng felt deeply moved.
Having just seen off Huang Yuerou, more soldiers hurried to report.
"Emperor, calamity! The Five Tribulation Supreme Sword God of the Azure Dragon Royal Family has led a large number of experts into the Outer City, breaching an entry point. No one can stop this person. If the Outer City’s gates fall into enemy hands, it will soon be overrun."
"No, the Outer City must not fall! I must go there immediately!" Upon hearing this dreadful news, Chu Feng’s expression drastically changed.
"Wen Shu, you continue the assault on the Imperial Palace here. I’m heading to the Outer City to help resist the strong enemy." As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Feng dashed towards the Outer City. His two wives insisted on accompanying him, leaving Chu Feng no choice but to let them follow.
Han Dong and Yan Qing also closely followed Chu Feng.
Given the critical situation, they were among Chu Feng’s most loyal followers, always ready to sacrifice themselves to protect their leader.
When Chu Feng reached the Outer City, he saw the enemy had already created a massive breach in the city wall. A large number of Dragon Guards, led by the Five Tribulation Supreme Sword God of the Azure Dragon Royal Family, wreaked havoc everywhere.
Rampaging across the walls.
Even the combined efforts of Qiu Jizi and Fang Xuanling were no match for that Five Tribulation Supreme Sword God.
Of course, the enemy camp didn’t just have this one expert.
The other nine Supreme Sword Gods of the Azure Dragon Royal Family were also formidable.
Among them, three were Three Tribulations Supreme Sword Gods, forming a formidable force not to be underestimated.
Fortunately, Chu Feng had taken down two Four Tribulations Supreme Sword Gods; otherwise, the situation would have been even direr.
"Han Dong, with your invisibility skills, immediately and stealthily deliver this letter and incense bag to Commander Pang’s hands. Remember, just get the items to him, and don’t worry about anything else. I believe that even if Commander Pang is unwilling to betray the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, he won’t make things difficult for you."
Chu Feng instructed Han Dong.
"Understood!"
Han Dong hesitated not a bit, taking the letter and incense bag, securing them on his person. His form flickered, gradually fading, ultimately vanishing entirely.
His invisibility skills were top-notch.
Only Chu Feng’s Shadow Escape Technique could rival it.
Watching Han Dong leave, Chu Feng held some hope. If Commander Pang could indeed defect and join his side, that would be wonderful.
Presently, what Chu Feng lacked were soldiers and generals.
"Demon Body, attack! First, cut down those two Three Tribulations Supreme Sword Gods!" Chu Feng, accompanied by the Demon Body, mingled with the ordinary soldiers, swiftly approaching the targets.
When within merely a hundred meters, Chu Feng and the Demon Body acted simultaneously.
The Demon Body was truly formidable, its form flashing electrifyingly, and the next second appeared behind that enemy.
This enemy was locked in a brutal battle with Chu Feng’s master, Elder Wanfa, and Si Huang. Firmly holding the upper hand, pressing the two of them hard.
