Chapter 376: Chapter 146 Feng Xuan: How, how is this possible! (Ten thousand words, please subscribe)

”Chen? Chen Jiusi!”

Feng Xuan stared as the Red Tassel Spear flew past his head, then quickly turned to look toward the gate.

He caught sight of Chen Jie at a glance.

At that moment, Chen Jie was clad in black attire, his waist tied with a white mourning band. Today was the day Feng Xuan would become the Hall Master, as well as the seventh day after Peng Shizhong’s death!

Initially forced by circumstances, he had fled from the Spring Breeze Theater and had not even attended his adoptive father’s funeral.

Zhou Chu had said that according to old traditions since Peng Shizhong had died a violent death, his coffin should have been kept above ground for seven days before burial. However, Feng Xuan was in such a hurry that he buried him after the usual three days.

The reason was to not delay his inauguration seven days later.

About this, many within the White Tiger Hall had objections, but what could their objections do? After Feng Xuan came into power, his iron-fisted approach was clear. If he couldn’t handle the objections, he simply eliminated those who objected.

This was why Chen Jie couldn’t attend Peng Shizhong’s funeral.

It was said that Peng Shizhong’s funeral was bleak, with few attendees, and Feng Xuan didn’t even send out widespread Heroic Invitations!

A person who once influenced Mianshui shouldn’t have ended so tragically; therefore, Chen Jie wore the mourning band and today he was determined to seek justice for the old man.

”Surround him!”

Someone shouted, and in a blink, a group of White Tiger Hall disciples swarmed around, though mostly they were Feng Xuan’s direct subordinates. Some other branch disciples also wanted to rush forward, but they were intentionally or unintentionally blocked by their managers.

”Manager, why are you stopping me? The Hall Master’s inauguration shouldn’t be disturbed!”

”Have you lost your mind? This is their brothers’ issue; don’t interfere, just watch.”

”What?”

”Didn’t you understand?”

”Ah, okay.”

...

This scene occurred in many corners. Those who appeal for justice get support, while those who don’t, lose support. The series of actions Feng Xuan took to consolidate his power after taking the stage were unpopular.

And at this time, the mindset of those attending the ceremony was also varied.

Nan Batian frowned deeply, unsure why Chen Jiu Si dared to show up now. Didn’t he know he was a fugitive? What could appearing now accomplish? Shouting once, what significance could it have?

Not far from him, the military strategist Bai Zhishan Tang Ziyue, who had just stepped down from the podium, first paused, then frowned. He didn’t believe Chen Jiu Si was acting without aim; he must have some backup plan coming here today. Could he think he could turn the tables?

What could he rely on to turn the tables?

Tang Ziyue tightly frowned, an idea vaguely forming in his mind, yet he wasn’t very certain because if this plan was to be implemented, it would require higher-level cooperation.

Thinking like this, he suddenly glanced towards Qimu Ge.

He saw Qimu Ge appearing unsurprised, rather calm, and even leisurely drinking a sip of tea. Instantly, he thought of something and then stared at Chen Jie in horror.

Could he, could he be...

At this time, other notable people from Mianshui County also had varied expressions.

Qiao Hongyan, looking playful and curious, watched Chen Jie. She wondered if his bold appearance here at this time was reckless ignorance or if he was thoroughly prepared.

It looked like there was going to be a good show today.

Meanwhile, Elder Liu, taken aback at first, immediately laughed and said, ”Hahaha... fascinating, truly fascinating.”

Standing behind Elder Liu was his son, Liu Song. Liu Song slightly furrowed his brow, looking in Chen Jie’s direction with a disdainful expression. With so many people, you just recklessly surge forward; what use can it be, nothing but an act of mere bravery.

He had always looked down on Chen Jie, the reason was simple; they were about the same age, yet Chen Jie had managed to overshadow him with his personal efforts.

He was Elder Liu’s son, the legitimate Crown Prince of Mianshui County, but now?

Who would be happy being outshined by a country bumpkin?

For a moment, everyone’s gaze was on Chen Jie, and a group of Feng Xuan’s direct disciples had already encircled him, with knives and swords gleaming in their hands.

Feng Xuan also reacted from his initial shock, squinting his eyes and said, ”Chen Jiu Si! All of Mianshui’s heroes are here today, and you still dared to come. You really don’t take Mianshui heroes seriously. Well, it’s good in a way. Although my adoptive father’s body is buried, the great enmity is still unavenged. Today is a good day to capture you and use your head to pay tribute to my adoptive father, seize him!”

Feng Xuan shouted angrily, then immediately pointed at Chen Jie.

Suddenly, a group of Fishing Guild minions charged forward.

”Kill, chop this traitor down!”

As they spoke, they directly rushed toward Chen Jie. Chen Jie’s eyebrows furrowed, and he took a large step forward. The minions swarmed up, and what followed was a unilateral thrashing.

Pop pop pop...

”Ah ah ah...”

How could the Fishing Guild minions be a match for Chen Jie? Almost instantly upon clashing, they were sent flying by Chen Jie. At this moment, Chen Jie employed the Water Manipulation Palm. As his realm had ascended to Energy Transformation, the Water Manipulation Palm Power had also rapidly improved. His use of the Water Manipulation Palm had now reached a divine level of mastery.

Checking the panel, his Water Manipulation Palm had reached the Great Achievement Realm.

The Water Manipulation Palm, primarily defensive, swung impenetrably, and the group of minions was quickly beaten and scattered.

Seeing this scene, standing below the high platform, Fa Cai, who had been holding a treasure sword, suddenly looked up.

At this moment, as Chen Jie knocked another two minions flying, he pointed at Feng Xuan: ”Get down here.”

”How bold, a traitor dares to be so arrogant. Why should the Hall Master make a move to kill you? Take my sword!”

Cang Lang...

A flash of sword light was unsheathed, and the surrounding people were all stunned, Qimu Ge, a master of the blade, was also attracted. Such neat skill, although at the Iron Bone Realm, this Sword Intent should also be considered as strong within the Iron Bone Realm.
