Even an ordinary person knew that it was impolite to ask people behind their backs.

Moreover, the other party clearly knew that the person who came was the new Sect Leader of the Confucian Sect, “Ye Ye”. Even if he didn’t call him “Ye Sheng”, he should at least call him “Sect Leader Ye”, right?

Jiang Feng frowned slightly as he sized up the black-robed old man with his back facing him. Originally, Jiang Feng was prepared to concede a step, so he decided to settle things peacefully.

But to Jiang Feng’s surprise, the black-robed old man saw Jiang Feng ignoring him and actually said, “What? Could it be that the Confucian Sect has chosen a new mute as its sect leader? Didn’t you hear this old man talking to you?”

Bang!

The black-robed old man was knocked to the ground by Jiang Feng before he could react. Jiang Feng quickly pounced on the black-robed old man and knocked him several times.

The black-robed old man’s cultivation was forcefully sealed by Jiang Feng with an incomparably powerful divine soul force.

Immediately after, Jiang Feng seemed to have gone mad, and he threw an old fist at the black-robed old man.

Those in the main hall who knew of Jiang Feng’s identity knew that this was a Confucian Sect Leader hitting someone. If he didn’t know, he would probably think that this was some local ruffian bullying an old man who was lonely and widowed.

What were the two strongest forces of Jiang Feng?

One was the divine body, and the other was the divine soul.

The black-robed old man’s body was directly interrupted by Jiang Feng’s punch. Furthermore, Jiang Feng didn’t show any mercy. When he broke the black-robed old man’s bones, every punch carried the power of a soul.

In other words, if the black-robed old man wanted to recover from his injuries in the future, he would have to force out the divine soul power that Jiang Feng had injected into his body first.

Jiang Feng attacked without warning, and his speed of hitting people was incomparably fast.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the black-robed old man had already fainted on the ground. Only now did Jiang Feng stand up from the ground in perfect condition, his face lightly dusting off the dust on his body.

Qingyang Longlin, Long Qingtian, Kong Fangquan, and even Jiang Longji.

The four of them were all stunned as they stared at Jiang Feng with dumbfounded expressions.

Qingyang Longlin was the first to react. He looked at the black-robed old man and then at Jiang Feng, “Ye … Ye Sheng, you … aren’t you … too ruthless?”

Jiang Feng was stunned. “Ah? Too ruthless? You can’t blame me for this. You saw it too. He provoked me the moment I came in. I thought he wanted to sparring with me, but I didn’t expect him to be so weak.”

Qingyang Longlin’s lips moved, but he didn’t dare to say a word.

Right at this moment, Kong Huangfei walked from the inner room of the Governor’s Mansion to the main hall. She looked at Jiang Feng with a nightmarish smile and said, “Aiya, Ye Sheng, you’re here. This is great. As soon as you came, our plan … Hmm? Shadow Ancestor!”

Imperial Concubine Kong cried out in alarm. She quickly ran to the black-robed old man and helped him up.

At the same time, a shadow separated from Kong Huangfei’s shadow, and a man also wearing a black robe appeared.

As soon as Jiang Feng saw this black-robed man, he immediately confirmed that he was the one who had been hiding around Kong Huangfei the last time he talked to Kong Huangfei in the Sage’s Mansion.

“Master! Master!” Shadow Sickle squatted beside Shadow Ancestor and cried out in alarm twice. He and Kong Huangfei turned Shadow Ancestor’s body over together.

Shadow Ancestor’s body had almost turned into mud, there was nothing he could do … Who told Jiang Feng to break all the bones in his body?

“What’s going on!”

Shadow Sickle angrily turned around and the cloak he wore fell off his head. At this moment, one could clearly see that Shadow Sickle’s face was densely carved with obscure runes. These runes looked like ants crawling on Shadow Sickle’s face, causing one’s scalp to go numb.

It was all thanks to Jiang Feng’s lack of dense phobia. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be forced to die here by Shadow Sickle?

Qingyang Longlin, Kong Fangquan, and Long Qingtian secretly glanced at Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng naturally had a calm expression and did not put the Shadow Sickle in his eyes.

However, thinking about it was also correct. Jiang Feng had already beaten the person who treated him as his master to such a state. How could a mere disciple do anything to him?

Jiang Longji subconsciously wanted to protect Jiang Feng. He opened his mouth and replied, “Just now, Master entered this hall with us. At the beginning, this senior’s tone was not good, so Master ignored him.”

“But later, this senior mocked Master for being deaf, so Master took action to … beat him up like this.”

“Did you hurt my master like this?” Shadow Sickle suddenly stood up. He looked at Jiang Feng with ferocious eyes, and his entire body was filled with dense killing intent.

Jiang Feng calmly looked at Shadow Sickle and said, “I’ll give face to Imperial Concubine Huang. I can forgive you this time. However, if you don’t know what’s good for you, I don’t mind letting you know clearly what kind of state your master is in right now.”

“Alright, then I, Shadow Sickle, will experience the strength of your new Sect Leader today!”

“Shadow Sickle, no!”

Imperial Concubine Kong shouted loudly, but dozens of shadows suddenly stood up on the ground. Then, these shadows formed a cage and locked Jiang Feng inside.

Jiang Feng stood in the shadow cage. He reached out and touched the railing of the shadow cage.

“Eh? You actually have a physical feeling. Interesting.”

As Jiang Feng spoke, dozens of sharp shadow spears flew towards him.

Jiang Feng was also arrogant, and he actually sent dozens of shadow spears flying into his body.

Shadow Sickle, who was standing outside the Shadow Cage, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at Jiang Feng in shock and said, “You are …”

Jiang Feng suddenly roared, “You want to hurt me with just such a small skill? Today, I’ll let you understand what it means to be a sage!”

Jiang Feng suddenly triggered the Nine Firmaments Exquisite Seal in his body. The enormous suction force caused the Shadow Sickle’s soul to be completely sucked in.

Shadow Sickle shouted crazily, “No! I know I was wrong … No! No …”

In the end, the Shadow Sickle’s soul was absorbed into Jiang Feng’s body and refined. The quality of his soul was not low. Therefore, after being transformed by the Void God King Seal, Jiang Feng had obtained a large amount of pure energy to strengthen his soul power.

Of course, compared to Shadow Sickle’s soul, the soul crystal that Jiang Feng felt was the most valuable was naturally the soul crystal.

This soul crystal contained the memories of the Shadow Sickle. Jiang Feng would be able to know what method he used to cultivate his soul power to the point where it was between reality and illusory.

With this alone, Jiang Feng felt that it was worth more than the Heavenly Soul Sect’s soul arts he had obtained.

Jiang Feng was happy in his heart, but who could understand how Kong Huangfei felt now?

As the two experts she relied on the most, one was a Saint-level Shadow Ancestor, and the other was a Half-Saint-level Shadow Sickle.

One of them had fainted on the ground and had already become a cripple, while the other had lost his life.

The key point was that Imperial Concubine Kong could only watch helplessly as this scene occurred. She simply could not stop Jiang Feng from killing the Shadow Sickle. Even after Jiang Feng killed the Shadow Sickle, she did not even know how to blame Jiang Feng.

After all, Jiang Feng could be considered to have a reason for this. He could only blame the Shadow Ancestor for being too arrogant.

Imperial Concubine Kong crouched beside the corpse of Shadow Sickle for a long time. Shadow Sickle had followed her for more than a thousand years. During this thousand years, he had been hiding in Imperial Concubine Kong’s shadow to shield her from the wind and rain.

Even Kong Huangfei couldn’t help but feel sad.

“Your Highness, please arrange for someone to bury Shadow Sickle’s corpse.”

“A heavy burial!”

“Yes.” Qingyang Longlin cupped his fists and retreated. Soon, a few soldiers came in from outside the main hall to carry Shadow Sickle’s corpse down. In addition, the unconscious Shadow Ancestor was also helped away.

Jiang Feng had been standing in the main hall watching all of this, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Imperial Concubine Kong took a deep breath after Shadow Ancestor and Shadow Sickle weren’t in the hall. She forced herself to smile at Jiang Feng.

“Ye Sheng, I’m really sorry. My people are not sensible enough to offend you.”

“It’s fine. Anyway, for the sake of Emperor Concubine’s face, let’s forget about this matter.”

Jiang Feng waved his hand with a dignified expression. The smile on Kong Huangfei’s face was so stiff that it was even uglier than crying. She almost said the last sentence word by word, “In that case, thank you, Ye Sheng.”

Imperial Concubine Kong finally said to Kong Fangquan, “Father, please entertain Ye Sheng. I still have some matters to attend to first.”

“You go, I will treat Ye Sheng well.” Kong Fangquan nodded.

When Kong Huangfei left, the atmosphere in the main hall of the Governor’s Mansion seemed to freeze.

Kong Fangquan smiled awkwardly at Jiang Feng and said, “Ye Sheng, why don’t you take a rest first? In any case, the formal operation will only start at night.”

“Alright.” Jiang Feng nodded.

“The room specially prepared for you is in the backyard. Please follow me, Ye Sheng.”

Kong Fangquan had witnessed Jiang Feng’s ruthless methods of killing people and crippling his cultivation, and his attitude towards Jiang Feng was extremely cautious.

Jiang Feng followed Kong Fangquan to rest in the room he was leading. As soon as Kong Fangquan retreated, Jiang Feng immediately began to absorb the soul crystal left behind by the Shadow Sickle Soul after it was refined.

Twilight.

There were many people gathered in the War Hall of the Governor’s Mansion, including not only Qingyang Longlin and Kong Fangquan, but also Imperial Concubine Kong.

At this moment, Kong Huangfei was different from her usual charming and gentle appearance. She wore armor and wore a long sword at her waist. Her long, black hair was tied up high, and she looked heroic.

Imperial Concubine Kong glanced at everyone in the War Hall. All the experts who could sit here were first-class experts.

Although the Shadow Ancestor with the highest cultivation had been crippled, even the Half-Saint Realm Shadow Sickle had been killed by Jiang Feng. However, Kong Huangfei had repeatedly confirmed that apart from some experts from the Xuanqian Manor, Jiang Xuanhong was only accompanied by Cao Liang, Shi Zhenxiang, and Qian Yinglou.

Judging from the current strength of Jiang Xuanhong’s guards, these experts prepared by Kong Huangfei were more than enough.

Moreover, Kong Huangfei was still hoping that Jiang Feng could help her if something unexpected happened …
