Wu Shattered Star River

#748 - Chapter 748 True Gold is Not Afraid of Fire

After the better part of a day, Ma Ji walked into the castle's backyard. Lord Fengyi was still sitting cross-legged under that large tree, leisurely drinking tea.

After Ma Ji saluted, he said, "The investigation of the people at Fort Jia-Si is complete. No one was involved in Chou Luo's matter."

"The soldiers who have come to Death Row Mountain in the past few days have all been investigated, and they all have military duties. However, I found a soldier from the Internal Affairs Division who is quite suspicious, because he stood outside Fort Jia-Wu for a while three days ago."

"Internal Affairs Division?"

Lord Fengyi's eyes turned cold, and she asked, "Where is this person?"

"Missing!"

Ma Ji sighed helplessly and said, "We sent a message to the Military Intelligence Division to investigate. The feedback from there is that the soldier has not returned to Bei Shang City. The Military Intelligence Division is now investigating."

"Heh heh!"

Lord Fengyi sneered and said, "Can you still find him? This person is probably already a corpse!"

Ma Ji sighed slightly and said, "Without evidence, we can't say anything. Even if we do, Lord Wuhe won't admit it. With the power of the Wu family, this matter can only be left unresolved."

"Alright, don't worry about this matter!"

Lord Fengyi stood up and said, "I'm going to Bei Shang City. Be vigilant and be careful of sneak attacks from the Ghost Clan."

"咻!"

Lord Fengyi soared into the air and went to a large courtyard next to her. There was a teleportation array here. With a flash of her body, Lord Fengyi teleported away.

A moment later, Lord Fengyi appeared in a large courtyard in Bei Shang City. Soldiers were stationed in this courtyard, and they all saluted when they saw Lord Fengyi.

"咻!"

Lord Fengyi soared into the air and flew directly towards the mountains outside the north city.

The mountains outside the north city were covered in thick white fog. Many restrictions were set up here. It is said that forcibly breaking through would be blasted to death by the restrictions.

Lord Fengyi ignored all of that and flew all the way forward. When she flew to the mountainside, the thick fog began to roll.

Waves of killing intent emanated from the white fog, and the white fog condensed into giant pythons, strangling Lord Fengyi.

"Hmph!"

Lord Fengyi snorted coldly, and the giant pythons stopped, then slowly dispersed, revealing a path. Lord Fengyi flashed and flew in.

She flew to the top of the mountain and landed outside a palace built entirely of black jade.

Two Earth Immortals were guarding outside the palace. When they saw Lord Fengyi walking over, they quickly reached out to stop her.

"Get out!"

Lord Fengyi roared angrily and strode into the palace. The two Earth Immortals hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't dare to stop her, and just followed behind with bitter faces.

Lord Fengyi passed through the main hall and entered the backyard. The backyard was very beautiful, with flowers and plants everywhere, pavilions and waterside gazebos, a beautiful scene at every step.

By a small river, there was a large pavilion. Marquis Yanbei, Marquis Liyang, and Marquis Dongting were all there. Marquis Yanbei and Marquis Liyang were playing chess, while Marquis Dongting was pouring tea for them.

Marquis Liyang saw Lord Fengyi walking in with a dark face, smiled slightly, and waved his hand to let the two Earth Immortals behind him retreat.

He stroked his long beard and said, "Who has made Feng girl so angry? Tell Grandpa Li, and I'll help you vent your anger."

Marquis Yanbei glanced coldly at Lord Fengyi and scolded, "You're not young at thirty. Don't you know any manners?"

Lord Fengyi bowed and saluted with a dark face, "Greetings, Marquis Yanbei, Marquis Liyang, and Marquis Dongting."

"Alright, alright!"

Marquis Liyang smiled and said, "Tell me, what happened that made you so angry?"

Lord Fengyi said angrily, "Just now, someone hired an assassin to kill someone in my Death Row Camp. If the person being assassinated hadn't had some skills, they would already be dead. Doing this kind of thing on my territory, he's simply not putting me in his eyes."

Marquis Liyang frowned, Marquis Yanbei was expressionless, and Marquis Dongting was a little surprised. Marquis Liyang asked, "Is there any evidence?"

Lord Fengyi said with a dark face, "If I had evidence, I would have already killed my way to their door. But… the person who was assassinated is called Jiang Han. You only sent him over a few days ago. It is said that he only came from a small world a few months ago? It seems that the only person he has offended is one person!"

"Jiang Han?"

Marquis Liyang was slightly surprised. Of course, he remembered Jiang Han. A major event had happened a few days ago, and a commander and a deputy commander had died.

He looked at Marquis Yanbei, who was still expressionless and had no intention of speaking.

Marquis Liyang's expression sank, and he asked, "Tell me the specific situation."

Lord Fengyi said, "This morning, my Death Row Camp had just had a big battle. Jiang Han made a great contribution, and I rewarded him with a Jia-grade fort to live in."

"A Guidao eighth-level death row prisoner took the opportunity to enter their earth fort, and then ambushed him, wanting to kill him, but he was blocked. I rushed over immediately, and he even wanted to self-detonate and die together with Jiang Han…"

Lord Fengyi recounted what happened in the morning, and then told the story of the missing soldier.

Finally, she looked at Marquis Yanbei and said, "Grandpa Yanbei, are you going to take care of this matter? If not, I'm going to personally find Wuhe!"

"Nonsense!"

Marquis Yanbei slammed the table and said, "If you continue to make trouble, I will ask your grandfather to take you back to the Bei Shang Realm!"

Seeing Marquis Yanbei's anger, Lord Fengyi pursed her lips and dared not speak.

Marquis Liyang's smile did not diminish, and he asked, "Jiang Han made a great contribution?"

Lord Fengyi nodded and said, "Yes, he has a very powerful group attack Dao technique. Today, in the battle with the Ghost Clan, he killed nearly 20,000 Ghost Clan members alone. Gui Sen personally came out to kill him, but I stopped him."

"Oh?"

Marquis Liyang and Marquis Dongting exchanged a look, and both of their eyes revealed surprise. They both looked at Marquis Yanbei.

Marquis Yanbei glared at Lord Fengyi and said, "Why didn't you report this matter?"

Lord Fengyi curled her lips and said, "The military report has already been sent to the Military Intelligence Division. You were busy playing chess here and didn't pay attention to military intelligence. Is that my fault?"

"Alright!"

Marquis Yanbei waved his hand and said, "Go back. I will handle this matter. The Ghost Clan has suffered a loss, so be careful of their counterattack. In addition, the Faceless Clan has also been restless recently, and there may be a big battle breaking out. Be prepared."

"Oh!"

Lord Fengyi was a little afraid of Marquis Yanbei and didn't dare to say anything more. She turned around and left.

She was obviously angry. When she walked, her steps were heavy, and the stone slabs clanged.

"This girl… has a really big temper!"

Marquis Liyang smiled slightly and shook his head, "Marquis Fengxian has spoiled her like a treasure since she was a child. She can't stand any anger at all."

Marquis Dongting smiled bitterly and said, "Marquis Fengxian has a fiery temper and has spoiled Little Fengyi like a calf since she was a child. It would be strange if she had a good temper… Could it really be Wuhe who did this?"

Marquis Liyang did not express his opinion and looked at Marquis Yanbei, who remained silent for a moment and said, "Regardless of whether Wuhe did it or not, we still need to investigate. The nature of this matter is bad, and if we find evidence, we must punish him severely. Dongting, arrange for someone to investigate this matter later."

"Alright!"

Marquis Dongting nodded and sighed, "The Wu family has two marquises, how could they raise such a scoundrel?"

Marquis Liyang turned his eyes and looked at Marquis Yanbei and said, "That kid Jiang Han is indeed a gold nugget. He can shine wherever he goes. Marquis Yanbei, are you really willing to throw him in Death Row Camp? If he dies there, don't regret it."

"If he is true gold, then he is not afraid of fire!"

Marquis Yanbei picked up a chess piece and placed it down, "His realm is still too low. We'll talk about it when he breaks through to the eighth level of Guidao. If he dies there, then his luck is not strong enough. What's the point of keeping a genius who doesn't have luck…"
