You Drove Me Out with Your Hypocrisy and now Crying When I Come to Take It All? Chapter 87 : Chapter 87

Chapter 87: What Heavenly Law Had He Broken to Deserve This?

“Ah!”

As fierce, terrifying Internal Energy poured back into him in a violent surge, i Feng felt excruciating pain.

Yet he forcibly swallowed the cry back down.

This is bad!

Cold sweat ran down i Feng’s forehead.

He hurriedly looked toward the bed. Fortunately, Cheng Yu still had not moved, his breathing remaining perfectly even.

“Good, good... He still didn’t wake up, even after all that!”

i Feng relaxed, and disdain rose in his heart as well.

That young Jinyiwei brat really had grown too used to his own arrogance and tyranny, thinking no one would ever dare offend him.

To sleep through such a disturbance was simply laughable.

i Feng picked up the Xiuchun Saber, which had stopped resisting after its outburst, then imdiately turned and left.

What he did not see was that behind him, Cheng Yu silently rose, put on a mask, and instantly suppressed his presence until it beca so faint it was nearly impossible to detect.

“Since you’ve co, don’t be in such a hurry to leave...”

“Susu, give him a proper welco...”

The mont i Feng stepped outside, he imdiately swept his gaze around.

Moonlight spilled faintly through the still night, and the surroundings were silent.

No one had been drawn over by the commotion the Xiuchun Saber had made just now.

“The defenses at this Thousand-Household Office are downright laughable. Imperial hounds are still imperial hounds.”

“With standards this pitiful, they still dare throw their weight around. How ridiculous.”

i Feng let out a cold laugh and moved away.

Everything was in place. All he had to do now was carry off the Xiuchun Saber in his hand.

Once that happened, Cheng Yu and the Jinyiwei would have their dignity trampled underfoot, yet there would be nothing they could do about it!

But just then, an eerie sound rang out.

“Hiss—hiss—”

i Feng suddenly felt a salty, rank gust brush past him. An inexplicable chill ran through his entire body, and the expression on his face froze.

His heart began pounding wildly of its own accord, and a strange sensation rose in his chest.

Sothing was watching him!

“What is that...?”

What frightened i Feng even more was that his feet seed rooted to the ground, leaving him unable to move at all.

What in the world was going on?

He stiffly turned his neck to the side, and his eyes instantly went wide.

Clang!

The Xiuchun Saber slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

i Feng’s jaw began to tremble.

Before him lay a giant white serpent dozens of feet long, coiled in place, flicking its tongue as it watched him with enormous crimson eyes.

Wave after wave of eerie, terrifying power pressed down on him until he could barely breathe.

What is that?!

i Feng shuddered all over. At that mont, only one word remained in his mind.

Run!

All thoughts of concealing his presence flew straight out of his head.

He had to run! If he did not, he would die!

Without the slightest hesitation, i Feng turned and ran with every ounce of strength he possessed. The full power of a Sixth-Rank martial artist erupted from him, and his footfall struck the floorboards with a thunderous boom.

Susu watched as i Feng fled as fast as his legs could carry him, vanishing in the blink of an eye, then tilted her head.

The boss had said not to chase.

She changed back into the form of a tiny white snake, coiled herself around the Thousand-Forged Ice-Thunder Xiuchun Saber lying on the ground, then slithered to the doorway and leaped onto the shoulder of a faint, nearly undetectable figure, rubbing her head against him affectionately.

Cheng Yu took back the saber and stroked Susu’s head.

Then, without the slightest hurry, he began walking in the direction i Feng had fled.

He was not afraid that i Feng would actually escape.

That way led toward Jian A’s room...

Not far away, i Feng was panting heavily, his face deathly pale and his entire body drenched in cold sweat.

It had been a very long ti since he had been frightened the way he had just now. His fear had reached its absolute peak, and all caution had long since vanished from his mind.

As he recalled the scene from monts ago, lingering terror made him even more afraid.

“What in the world was that thing just now? A demon?”

A demon!

A dreadful realization surfaced in his mind.

Cheng Yu was raising a Great Demon—and an extrely terrifying one at that!

“No wonder Cheng Yu is so arrogant and overbearing. So it’s because he’s keeping a Great Demon!”

Even as the aftershock of fear lingered in him, i Feng suddenly felt relieved.

The martial artists of the Jianghu treated demons as mortal enemies, and certain factions in particular loathed them to the bone. Among them were no few great sects of imnse power.

If he exposed this truth, Cheng Yu would surely et no good end.

The mont he thought of how disgracefully terrified he had looked just now, i Feng fled outward at the fastest speed he could manage, gritting his teeth as he let out a cold laugh.

“So what if I couldn’t steal your saber? I still have a way to deal with you!”

He no longer had the courage to go back and steal the Xiuchun Saber, but he had still co away with information of imnse value.

But just then, a gust of night wind suddenly rose and swept silently past i Feng as he ran.

Pain!

He only felt his whole body burn with searing agony.

Looking down, he discovered that several places on his night garnts had been torn open, exposing fresh, blood-red flesh beneath.

“What now? Damn it, this place is too cursed. I need to get out!”

i Feng made up his mind to leave as quickly as possible.

He only felt that the speed of a Sixth-Rank martial artist was far too slow. He almost wished he had two more legs.

In the next instant, the night wind blew even harder straight into his face, forcing him to shut his eyes.

And when he opened them again, he saw an old man with white hair and beard standing before him.

The old man made no effort to conceal the razor-sharp sword qi surging around his body. It was so intense it seed on the verge of spilling over.

i Feng’s eyes nearly split apart in shock.

An expert of the Upper Three Realms!

His presence was no weaker than that of the Great Demon from monts ago!

“Where did this expert co from now?!”

Panicked beyond asure, i Feng imdiately spun around. Amid the terror on his face, a trace of grievance even appeared.

What was wrong with this place?!

There was a Great Demon behind him and an expert like this in front of him.

Either one could take his life with ease. If he had known, he would never have tried to show off earlier!

But matters had already reached this point.

Aside from fleeing for his life, the despairing i Feng had no other choice.

What truly plunged him into utter hopelessness, however, was what happened next.

The mont he turned around, a hand reached coldly out of the darkness and seized him by the throat.

“Who?!”

i Feng struggled desperately to resist, but before he could even make a move, he suddenly felt his entire body grow incomparably heavy.

A strange figure wearing a mask erged.

i Feng’s eyes went wide.

As he struggled, he saw sothing familiar coiled around the figure’s shoulder.

It was none other than the Great Demon from monts ago!

“You are—!”

Cheng Yu removed the mask, revealing a young, stern face, while tightening his grip.

“That is the question I should be asking you.”

i Feng only felt his Internal Energy being suppressed with maddening force, and his shock reached its extre.

His eyes bulged wide. Powerless, he clawed at Cheng Yu’s hand and rasped out in a hoarse voice, “You’re Cheng Yu!”

How was that possible?!

Why was Cheng Yu, a re Fifth-Rank martial artist, this strong?!

A snake demon whose strength rivaled the Upper Three Ranks, an aged swordsman who seed evenly matched with it, and Cheng Yu himself, mysterious and terrifying...

i Feng’s mind was on the verge of collapse.

What heavenly law had he broken to deserve this?

...

Inside the tavern not far from the Thousand-Household Office.

“We already sent the signal, but Fort Master i still hasn’t returned.”

The scholar frowned, all interest in even waving his folding fan gone.

When that brute had left earlier, he had already had a bad feeling that sothing would go wrong.

Now, just as expected, things had indeed gone wrong.

“What do we do now?”

Liu Erniang also frowned, tension filling her heart.

If anything had happened to i Feng, not one of them would be able to escape involvent.

The scholar, Qin Mosheng, shook his head.

“i Feng did not ask for help. It may be that sothing delayed him. Let us wait.”

If i Feng had not been exposed and had rely been delayed by sothing else, there was naturally no need to panic.

And if he had been exposed, then it was all the more important that they not act rashly.

There was only one thing to do now.

Wait.

Hearing that, the others could only nod helplessly and continue waiting in anxious silence.

It was not until dawn, when the Jinyiwei began assembling a large force, that they finally realized

sothing was very, very wrong.
