Chapter 457: Chapter 233: Fury Bristling Through Hair
Jiang Feng was curious, who was so unlucky to be hung on the city tower?
Just lifting his eyes, he was completely dumbfounded!
It had been years since he saw Uncle Huo.
His three children had grown quite a bit.
Little Huowa could run and jump now.
The eldest son had already developed some masculine charm.
The second daughter was sensible and considerate.
Little Huowa was mischievous, bringing joy to the whole family.
All these years, with Han Dong’s care, Uncle Huo’s family lived quite well; even though they were imprisoned in the Imperial City, they weren’t mistreated in terms of food and drink.
But as they aged.
Coupled with being inseparable from liquor.
Uncle Huo had aged a lot.
His temples turned white, his body was slightly hunched, Aunt Huo worked hard all day, and as she aged, her body became much more rotund than before.
The old couple managed for these past few years, their days weren’t bitter, but neither were they easy, after all, they had three children to take care of.
Jiang Feng had thought it might implicate Uncle Huo.
Causing Uncle Huo’s family to suffer bodily harm.
But how could he have expected that after over three years apart.
When they met again.
He would see Uncle Huo’s family hung to death at the North City Gate.
"Uncle Huo!"
Jiang Feng’s eyes were blood red.
"Jiang Feng, Prison Chief Zhang has ordered that all prison guards, regardless of the reason, must return to the prison immediately. Have you relocated your ancestors’ graves yet? If not, just bury them back for now."
"Xiao Jiang, you need to wake up, Uncle is old, can’t stand being frightened, if something happens to you, the stuff at your house, my house can’t hold it all!"
"Swallow it, don’t spit it out, alas, what to do, never mind, Uncle will feed you with my mouth!"
"Old Huo, I am so unfortunate, tonight I can only sleep with you."
"Tsk tsk, Xiao Jiang, wearing this outfit, you look exactly like a young master, truly proving the saying, ’People rely on clothes, Buddhas rely on gold.’ Later, I’ll have your aunt introduce her niece to you."
...
Scenes from the past with Uncle Huo and various amusing moments in prison flashed through Jiang Feng’s mind.
Three catties of white tofu.
Two catties of pickles.
A plate of peanuts.
Three pots of yellow rice wine, the two would drink through the night.
As a Longevity Practitioner, Jiang Feng had thought that no matter how close he got to someone, there would eventually be a day of parting, just never thought the separation with Uncle Huo would be so cruel.
Their family of five was hanged on the city tower because of him.
This was done by the Emperor of the Great Tang deliberately for him to see.
Today it was Uncle Huo’s family.
Next time, it might be Han Dong.
"Uncle Huo, I’m taking you home."
Jiang Feng couldn’t help but walk towards the city tower.
His eyes were blood red, with every step he took, the ground trembled a bit, he couldn’t control his spiritual power, almost as if he was about to go berserk.
His whole body’s spiritual power wanted to burst out all at once, storming into the Imperial City to avenge Uncle Huo’s family.
Uncle Huo was one of his few friends.
The uncle-nephew bond between him and Uncle Huo was initially even stronger compared to the sibling bond with Han Dong!
Now that Uncle Huo’s family was hanged on the city tower because of him, one could imagine Jiang Feng’s feelings.
"What’s going on?"
"What’s the disturbance?"
"Stop!"
"Who are you?"
As Jiang Feng approached.
The trembling ground became more evident, the crowd watching scattered in panic, the City Guard Army was on high alert.
"Release their family of five for me."
Jiang Feng looked at the city guards, his eyes seemed to contain a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, among these common soldiers, who would dare meet his gaze?
Just one look, and countless people were scared out of their wits.
"Okay."
"Please don’t kill me."
"Quickly get them down."
...
The pressure from a cultivator was something ordinary soldiers could not withstand, the City Guard leader, terrified out of his wits, under Jiang Feng’s gaze, even forgot he was donned in armor, hurriedly led a group to untie the ropes binding Uncle Huo and his family.
They brought Uncle Huo’s family of five onto the city tower, slowly setting them down.
"Uncle Huo, Auntie, I’ve come to take you home."
Jiang Feng flashed to the city tower like an immortal descending from the heavens.
"Spare us, Immortal Master!"
City guards knelt down one after another, pleading Jiang Feng for mercy, many of them were Entry Grade Martial Artists, some leaders even had Upper Three Grades cultivation.
Even Innate Powerhouses guarded the gates.
But under the spiritual power fluctuations and overwhelming aura of Jiang Feng’s Eighth-Layer Qi Condensation, even Innate Powerhouses felt like a lone boat in the sea, unable to breathe under the pressure of Jiang Feng’s aura, they could only kneel continuously kowtowing for mercy.
"Leave the bodies."
Suddenly, a figure from the direction of the Imperial City rushed over.
It was a powerful Martial Cultivator.
After yesterday’s commotion by Jiang Feng, Dragon Capital was already under lockdown, cultivators of the Purple Bamboo Forest and experts inside the Imperial City were patrolling Dragon Capital, waiting for Jiang Feng to surrender.
The commotion at the North City Gate.
Instantly alerted that group.
The Martial Cultivator who rushed first, with a group following him, were the very group of Martial Cultivators who almost surrounded Jiang Feng yesterday, trying to keep Jiang Feng in Dragon Capital.
Jiang Feng looked at the rushing leader.
Then looked at Uncle Huo’s family of five’s bodies placed on the city tower.
"Go down and accompany Uncle Huo in burial!"
Jiang Feng casually waved his hand, a Dragon Bone Bow appeared in his hand, and he rose above the city tower.
"Whiz whiz whiz!"
Three arrows shot towards that leader.
As a Martial Cultivator, the opponent had formidable body technique, running through the city, charging towards the city tower, he could utilize the buildings inside the city to dodge and counter the arrows shot by Jiang Feng.
Even though the arrows shot from the Dragon Bone Bow would not stop until they hit their target, the opponent could use various obstacles to weaken the power of Jiang Feng’s arrows.
