Song Changming understood, thinking that the other party was willing to help him largely because he had single-handedly killed Zhao Liang.
The achievent was indeed astonishing.
Lacking Qi Refining Cultivation of the Innate Perfection Realm, yet possessing combat power at the Innate Perfection Level.
Such a talent, ng Yuan didn’t mind lending a hand where he could.
Of course, the premise was to verify the goods.
To see if Song Changming truly had the strength and potential, worthy of his help.
"Alright." Song Changming agreed.
"Do you need so preparation here?" ng Yuan drew out his own sword and asked.
"Anyti." Song Changming had already summoned all his Armor Seals.
The opponent was also a strong practitioner at the Innate Perfection Realm, he couldn’t afford to be careless.
"Alright!" ng Yuan didn’t hold back, releasing a strike of Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi was like a beam of strong light, instantly hitting Song Changming’s abdon.
Not a fatal spot, if Song Changming couldn’t take it, it wouldn’t be deadly.
This Sword Qi was incredibly condensed, even though it landed on Song Changming, it didn’t cause too much of a commotion, not even triggering a fierce energy ripple in the courtyard, clearly it was intentional by ng Yuan.
Not wanting to attract too much attention.
Slit!
A subtle sound of flesh tearing rang out, a small cut appeared on Song Changming’s abdon where he was hit.
Song Changming was injured but only slightly, even his body didn’t sway from the strike, remaining firmly standing.
After a few breaths, without any action from Song Changming, the wound stopped bleeding and gradually healed.
"Without using Gang Qi for protection, purely enduring with flesh, remarkable Body Refinent achievent!"
ng Yuan knew the power of his strike and was moved by Song Changming’s ability to block it so effortlessly with his body.
Especially witnessing Song Changming’s self-healing ability thereafter.
This treasure-like physique, in his eyes, was truly flawless and rare.
With just this flesh and blood, indeed he had the qualification to spar with a strong practitioner at the Innate Perfection Realm, perhaps even the possibility of killing them...
Even though his Qi Refining Cultivation had only opened four Martial Veins.
ng Yuan’s thoughts passed through, basically acknowledging Song Changming’s exceptional imdiate strength.
"Within my ans, I will help you, this is my promise." ng Yuan sheathed his sword and said.
"What would you need to do, senior?" Song Changming said solemnly.
He felt ng Yuan’s promise of help was too easy.
Such a murky water was no trivial matter, it ant offending the Zhao Family, involving a lot.
Even though ng Yuan backed by the top-tier Noble Family, the ng Family, would it be worth offending the Zhao Family for just one Song Changming at the family level?
"This is my promise to you, and I won’t go back on it. If you have concerns, just consider it a favor owed to the ng Family." ng Yuan walked out while speaking.
"Moreover, on a personal note, you helped my brother before, so I can’t ignore this now."
After saying this, ng Yuan left the courtyard.
It was clear that ng Jianli’s death left him in somber mood, unwilling to converse more.
He referred to how Song Changming had helped ng Jianli right after taking office in Feng City.
Song Changming wasn’t certain whether what ng Yuan said was genuine, although they just t, and he didn’t know this superpower from the Noble Family well.
Nevertheless, for now, ng Yuan promised support, and Song Changming didn’t actually pay a price.
No matter if ng Yuan would regret, Song Changming wouldn’t lose anything.
Afterwards, the ng Family mbers who arrived took charge of Feng City and appointed soone as acting City Lord to prevent the city officials from being leaderless and ensured the city’s developnt and operations without chaos.
Waiting for a new City Lord’s orders, the acting City Lord position would be removed.
anwhile, Yang Zhen, Song Changming, and others received notification from the Military Departnt, requiring them to return.
ng Jianli’s family mbers, including ng Shuxuan with the Golden winged Roc, were also returning.
On the other side, in the core area of the main city, the Zhao Mansion.
In a scenic, tastefully arranged courtyard, the atmosphere was peculiarly gloomy.
"Is Zhao Liang really dead?" An elderly man with disheveled hair walked into the courtyard, a hoarse voice resonated.
"Greetings, Elder Zhao Lie."
Seeing the elder arrive, several individuals in the courtyard rose and bowed.
Including the current patriarch of the Zhao Family, Zhao Boqi.
"Boqi, you say." Zhao Lie looked towards the Zhao Family’s patriarch with arms behind his back.
Zhao Boqi sighed deeply, displaying a somber expression, nodded and said, "Indeed."
"That Zhao Liang fellow, I thought he could live till his final years..." At this mont, another aged voice drifted in from outside the courtyard.
Looking carefully, another elderly man with white hair stepped in.
"Greetings, Elder Lei." Everyone in the courtyard imdiately bowed respectfully.
"Boqi, how did he die?" Zhao Xinlei asked.
"Killed by soone outside." Zhao Boqi shared the acquired information.
In just a few days, Zhao Boqi learned the outco of Zhao Liang and Zhao Zun, and the series of events that transpired, showing the Zhao Family’s powerful intelligence network.
Furthermore, Zhao Liang and Zhao Zun’s intention to find Song Changming and settle accounts was known by others in the family.
However, on the surface, those aware gave Zhao Liang face, covering for him.
Until Zhao Liang’s death was reported, then they couldn’t sit still, being summoned by the family, eventually passing the information to the patriarch.
Zhao Boqi thus knew the whole story.
"Hmph, a bag of old bones, truly useless, couldn’t even defeat a youngster, losing life and shaming the family, an added sha!"
Another gust blew through, and suddenly there was a third elder in the courtyard, sharp-tongued, showing no rcy for the deceased.
"Greetings, Elder Tong!"
Several family juniors in the courtyard upon seeing the tall thin appearance of the new arrival, couldn’t help but feel a heavy impact in their hearts.
As expected, this matter alard this elder!
From the change in the Zhao Family juniors’ expressions, this third elder appearing held higher prestige.
"This ti, let Zhao Liang’s lineage bear the responsibility and not be lightly forgiven!" Said Zhao Butong, his gaze falling onto the patriarch Zhao Boqi, clearly primarily addressing him.
Zhao Boqi stepped forward a few steps but didn’t respond affirmatively as before, instead shaking his head, sighing: "His offspring Zhao Zun has also died."
"Zhao Zun? I sowhat rember, seed like Zhao Liang’s most favored son." Zhao Lie vaguely recalled Zhao Zun’s image.
"Zhao Zun is dead too? This really is..." Zhao Xinlei for a mont didn’t know what to say.
If you count Zhao Linxin who passed away years ago, the important direct bloodline of Zhao Liang had all died within short years.
Even the most disgruntled elder Zhao Butong, upon hearing this, temporarily abandoned the thought of reproaching, instead asked in a deep voice.
"Who did it?"
"The sa person, the Commander of the 41st Flag Army, Song Changming." Zhao Boqi said deeply.
"Commander?" Zhao Xinlei’s face deepened more with wrinkles.
"Even at his worst, Zhao Liang wouldn’t fall to being killed by a re army commander, it doesn’t make sense, is there other hidden truths?" Elder Zhao Lie raised doubts.
"Honestly speaking, when first hearing this, I couldn’t believe it, but it’s true, multiple intelligence reports confird, unlikely errors!" Zhao Boqi said with so difficulty.
In the courtyard, Senior Steward Zhao Juchang quietly spoke up.
"Patriarch, elders, based on the latest reports, that commander’s team is already on the returning journey for debriefing..."
Seeing the family bigwigs directing attention towards him, Zhao Juchang paused his tone before continuing the question.
"Should he be intercepted and killed, making sure he never returns to the main city..."
