Fengcheng.
Recently, Feng Hanhou had made a fortune, and the Yao family had also successfully transformed.
The Yao family, which previously owned over a hundred billion in real estate, had all been taken over by the forty-seven Grandmasters of Feng Province who had been granted the title of Marquis. All their cash flow was used to purchase medicinal herbs and fully produce the Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pill.
The Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pill was only sold to the Grandmasters of the Marquis lineage. People seeking to join Feng Hanhou’s ranks arrived in droves daily. Subsequently, the Grandmasters of the Marquis lineage could then sell the goods to Xuanjing Grandmasters below them, and even to other minor martial artist families.
In this way, both the upstream and downstream of Feng Province’s martial arts world established good relations with Feng Hanhou. Furthermore, the Yao family and Feng Hanhou had already begun preparations to sell the Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pill to other provinces.
The forty-eight Grandmasters, united, directly cut off the supply of medicinal herbs to the Feng Zhuihou Mansion.
This united force, even the Six Gates would have to treat with seriousness. Each Grandmaster who received the title of Marquis had made contributions to the nation before being granted the honor. On the surface, the Six Gates dared not do anything to them.
And the Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pill had now spread throughout Fengcheng. In the martial arts world, only the constables of Fengcheng Six Gates could not obtain it.
The martial artists within the Six Gates were also restless, harboring dissatisfaction towards Xi Butui.
Xi Butui’s actions towards the Yao family were also spread through word of mouth by the forty-eight Grandmasters and the martial artists below them.
Fang Bahua returned to Fengcheng with two letters from Chen Jiuyang and immediately went to the Six Gates.
Fang Bahua stood in the large square outside the Six Gates, mustered his True Qi as a Grandmaster of the Earth Realm, and roared loudly, “I request the Chief Constable of the Six Gates, Xi Butui, to come out and meet me!”
As his voice fell, Fengcheng immediately trembled.
Within a month, two people dared to challenge Xi Butui at the Fengcheng Six Gates. Were they not afraid of death?
The previous one was Chen Jiuyang, who had the protection of an elder from the Martial Rankings and the forty-eight Grandmasters. In the end, it was the Sword Bearer who stepped forward, forcing Xi Butui to retreat.
Who was this Grandmaster of the Earth Realm?
Many people, both openly and secretly, came to watch the spectacle.
However, this time, there were no constables from the Six Gates raising their spears to aim at Fang Bahua.
A moment later, Xi Butui emerged from the Six Gates, his expression gloomy. Upon seeing Fang Bahua, a mocking glint appeared in his eyes:
“I wondered who was barking at the Six Gates. So it’s that old dog by Chen Jiuyang’s side who has broken through to the Earth Realm.”
“What, is Chen Jiuyang here to beg for mercy?”
Fang Bahua’s expression remained calm as he replied, “Chief Constable Xi Butui misunderstands. My young master broke through to the Earth Realm the day before yesterday. He sent me to deliver a letter to Chief Constable Xi Butui and instructed me to ensure that Chief Constable Xi Butui opens it in person.”
“Hah!”
A wave of commotion erupted from the crowd. Chen Jiuyang had actually broken through to the Earth Realm Grandmaster so quickly. Did he truly have a chance to fight Xi Butui, rather than being easily defeated?
Xi Butui’s face showed a look of disdain: “So what if you’ve broken through to the Earth Realm? The Earth Realm itself is divided into ranks.”
“When two nations are at war, envoys are not killed. I will not make things difficult for you, old dog. Hand over the letter.”
Fang Bahua took out a letter from his怀, and gently pushed it forward with his True Qi.
“Bang—”
The next moment, Xi Butui raised his hand and unleashed a blast of True Qi towards the letter, intending to shatter Chen Jiuyang’s letter.
However, after Xi Butui’s strike, the letter written by Chen Jiuyang remained completely unharmed and floated before him.
The onlookers were even more astonished. Chen Jiuyang, who had just broken through to the Earth Realm, had his letter, with just a single letter, unable to be destroyed by Xi Butui. Was Chen Jiuyang’s combat power this formidable?
Xi Butui narrowed his eyes: “Interesting. Then I shall open it and take a look.”
Taking the letter, Xi Butui slowly opened it.
“Rumble!”
In the next instant, vast True Qi filled with Pure Yang energy erupted at the scene.
Chen Jiuyang’s indifferent voice actually emanated from the envelope:
“Xi Butui, I have broken through to the Earth Realm and am currently in Suhang preparing for matters related to the conferment of Marquis. The fifteenth of November is a good day for a burial. Prepare a coffin for yourself.”
“This letter, I wonder if you are qualified to receive it!”
As the voice fell, a powerful pressure erupted from the envelope, rushing towards Xi Butui!
“Rumble!”
The martial artists of the Six Gates behind Xi Butui all collapsed to the ground under this pressure.
“Crack—”
Even Xi Butui, standing in place, found his feet sinking three centimeters into the paving stones.
The scene was one of utter shock. Someone exclaimed involuntarily, “Soul possession! This is a technique that only Heavenly Realm Kings can use!”
“Chen Jiuyang is truly a peerless genius, to have comprehended a technique of a Heavenly Realm King while still in the Earth Realm!”
“It seems he truly has a chance to fight Xi Butui!”
“If Chen Jiuyang survives this battle, he will surely ascend to the Heavenly Realm in the future!”
“Xi Butui doesn’t even possess this kind of technique. Look, Chen Jiuyang’s soul possession has caused Xi Butui’s body to sink three centimeters into the paving stones!”
“The younger generation is to be feared, truly to be feared!”
Xi Butui’s expression was extremely unsightly, his face ashen, and a surging killing intent boiled within him. He spat out a few words through gritted teeth:
“Well done, Chen Jiuyang. I truly underestimated you before!”
He had never expected that a letter sent by Chen Jiuyang would contain such a hidden trick, putting him, Xi Butui, in such an embarrassing position.
Deep down, Chen Jiuyang actually made him feel a trace of threat.
After Chen Jiuyang’s soul pressure had passed.
“Crack—”
The letter in Xi Butui’s hand spontaneously turned to dust and exploded.
“Drip! Drip!”
Xi Butui’s fingers were actually injured by the letter, and blood dripped from his fingers onto the ground.
“Good, good, good!”
Xi Butui’s killing intent was boiling.
The onlookers were even more secretly alarmed. Xi Butui had been stationed in Fengcheng for thirty years, and it was unheard of for him to be injured. Unexpectedly, the soul True Qi contained within Chen Jiuyang’s letter could injure Xi Butui.
The four directions were shocked, and hearts were filled with unease. It seemed that the outcome of the battle between Xi Butui and Chen Jiuyang was truly uncertain.
Chen Jiuyang had risen like a comet, possessing the talent of a peerless genius, and had ascended to the Earth Realm. His combat power was likely extraordinary.
Xi Butui might not truly be able to defeat Chen Jiuyang with certainty.
Fang Bahua was also startled, not expecting his young master to be so powerful. After his astonishment, Fang Bahua calmly said, “Since my young master’s letter has been delivered, I will take my leave now, Chief Constable Xi Butui.”
Then, Fang Bahua turned and left. Xi Butui did not make a move to attack Fang Bahua.
Those who were observing, both openly and secretly, were unable to fathom whether Xi Butui had not made a move, or was unable to make a move.
After Fang Bahua’s departure, those secretly observing prepared to visit the Feng Hanhou Mansion to pay their respects, while others kept an eye on Fang Bahua’s movements.
Fang Bahua arrived in front of the Feng Zhuihou Mansion and shouted loudly, “Feng Zhuihou, my young master Chen Jiuyang has asked me to deliver a letter to you. Please come out and receive it!”
“Damn it!”
“This Chen Jiuyang, after dealing with Xi Butui, now intends to deal with Feng Zhuihou. He is utterly audacious!”
“Feng Zhuihou is within the time frame of the King’s Proclamation. If Chen Jiuyang dares to act against Feng Zhuihou, that would be treason!”
