Chapter 487: I Don't Know Them Well

Swish—

A gust of wind swept through, causing the flames of the Samadhi True Fire to flicker and dance, shocking everyone present.

Even those who had been poisoned and were in a frenzied state calmed down somewhat.

Chu Liang was the only one who remained the same as before, still exceptionally calm as he continued to cleanse the poison from every person in front of him.

It was as though he had predicted that this would happen.

Indeed. He felt damn safe.

Cheng Hu, trapped against the wall, struggled as he turned his gaze to the side. He then muttered, "Miss Feng?"

Di Nufeng held no official title within the royal family, and few were aware of her existence.

However, after she single-handedly insulted several prominent members of the imperial family, she became famous overnight, sparking much speculation about her identity within the palace.

As one of the Four Great Warriors, Cheng Hu was well aware of the truth. He knew that she was the daughter of the Guardian of the imperial family and the current emperor's second aunt.

"You know me?" Di Nufeng withdrew her hand and said, "If you know me, how dare you bare your teeth at my disciple?"

"Esteemed teacher, he was trying to take my whip," Chu Liang said softly from behind.

"Hmph," Di Nufeng scoffed. "Don’t you have one of your own? Why do you need someone else’s?"

"Esteemed teacher," Chu Liang added glumly, "it seems he truly doesn't have one."

"Just because he doesn't have one doesn't mean he should snatch it from someone else," Di Nufeng muttered.

Cheng Hu continued to struggle, trying to pull his head from the wall. With a loud pop, he finally succeeded.

He quickly moved in front of Di Nufeng and Chu Liang, bowing deeply. "So you are Miss Feng's disciple. I failed to recognize greatness despite having eyes. Yet, the imperial relatives and people of the Roupu Kingdom are poisoned and desperately need treatment..."

He leaned close and whispered, "Miss Feng, especially the imperial relatives—they are your family..."

Di Nufeng immediately waved her hand dismissively. "I don't know them well."

It was obvious from her face that she wanted those people to stay the hell away from her.

Just then, Chu Liang chimed in from behind, "If you want to save them quickly, you need to follow the proper procedures. If anything goes wrong because of the time you've wasted, you'll have to take responsibility."

Cheng Hu cast a glance at Di Nufeng and then at Chu Liang before he finally realized that he had no choice in this situation. Immediately, he turned around and ordered the others to help carry the poisoned individuals down from the carriage.

Only then did the Imperial Supervisory Commissioner stroll out casually. With a smile on his face, he said to Di Nufeng, "Let's not resort to violence next time. Peace is always the better option."

He had not shown up earlier because Di Nufeng had appeared. Otherwise, he would have stepped in to help Chu Liang while Cheng Hu was pressuring Chu Liang.

With Chu Liang's esteemed teacher present, the Imperial Supervisory Commissioner was more than willing to stay in the background.

Di Nufeng shot a glance at the crafty old man, who chose to appear only after everything was settled, and rolled her eyes.

As she turned away, she grumbled, "Next time, I’ll hit you too."

"That should do it, cough cough..." Yang Bujue coughed lightly and continued, "We've achieved our goal."

"It seems you’ve got something else planned?" Master Song inquired as he stared at Mister Yang.

With a mysterious grin, Yang Bujue said, "That’s something I wouldn't dare to share with you. After all, you are not one of us yet."

Xiao Wuyan remained at the side, still wearing the face of that charming palace consort.

She said with a smile, "But I believe Master Song has outstanding potential to join our Celestial Charm Sect."

As the three chatted leisurely, Yang Bujue’s expression suddenly changed. Out of nowhere, he shouted, "Run!"

Master Song remained in the same spot in confusion, still unaware of what was happening. Although Xiao Wuyan was equally clueless, a tacit understanding existed between her and Yang Bujue—a connection typically developed between a husband and wife.

In the blink of an eye, the couple became streaks of light, darting off in separate ways.

Yet, it seemed as though time had slowed dramatically. With their speed, it would have taken them a split second to make it out of the city. But now, they had only just managed to get past one street.

Suddenly, a tremendous force, resembling a massive sword, descended from the sky. It was the legendary Tai'a sword.

A sword emanating heavenly might descended, causing all three of them to freeze in place.

This was the fearsome power of the eighth realm. All three were skilled cultivators; in fact, the couple were both at the seventh realm.

However, beneath the imposing presence of this sword that was far away, they felt powerless, with no means left to fight back.

"Darling! Don't worry about me, you escape on your own!" Xiao Wuyan suddenly shouted.

Gritting his teeth, Yang Bujue raised his hand and pricked his finger. The golden blood that spilled forth ignited into flames, turning into a fierce blaze.

His body was swallowed by the fire, disappearing in a split second.

He had a way to escape while the other two did not.

As the power of Tai'a Sword descended, they were all forced to the ground, unable to move.

Qi Yingxuan's figure then descended.

These individuals executed their plan meticulously. Prior to the release of those Potion Jars Kids, they had drugged these kids into mindless fools, ensuring that none of them remembered anything.

Even if these Potion Jars Kids fell into the hands of the Imperial Supervisory Bureau, extracting any useful information from their memories would be impossible.

Yet, unexpectedly, at the Black Pine Ridge, Master Song had left behind a Potion Jar Boy that still remembered everything.

After Jiang Yuebai brought him back, Xue Muyu swiftly used the Shadow of Radiance, which she had mastered to perfection, to create an image of Master Song from his memories.

Since they knew what Master Song looked like, the Imperial Supervisory Commissioner could easily identify his location with a single thought, as long as he was still in the capital of Yu.

It was exactly when Yang Bujue sensed that something was off.

Unfortunately, with the Imperial Commissioner present, no amount of caution would allow them to escape.

Qi Yingxuan descended, glanced at Xiao Wuyan, and said gravely, "It's the married couple again... So it turns out this mess was indeed your doing once again."
