Chapter 418: Chapter 220: Soul-Stabilizing Jade, He’s Not Dead? (Part 3)

"No."

The Little Cyan Snake quickly wrote down these two words.

"If he hates me so much, why doesn’t he come personally?"

Jiang Feng said angrily.

"I don’t know."

The Little Cyan Snake’s tail swept across, swiftly leaving these four words.

"I should have smashed Liu Chen to death with the Qinglong Cauldron back then. If it weren’t for his Celestial Eye seeing through me, I wouldn’t have been pushed to this point."

"Ah, I can only blame myself for not being strong enough back then."

"It took so much effort just to kill a Second Prince."

Jiang Feng lamented.

Back then, near the Dragon Capital Zhenbei Prison, after luring the Second Prince over, he relentlessly attacked. Initially, he struck with a palm imprint on the Second Prince’s chest, and one could visibly see the Second Prince’s Soul Token fly out and then return to his body.

Looking back now, it was likely the Soul-Stabilizing Jade that provided protection, making it very difficult to kill the Second Prince, and he nearly failed to escape from the Six-armed Divine Emperor and Liu Chen.

Thinking about it now still feels incredibly dangerous.

"Since you are in my hands, just behave. If you dare to act up, be careful I’ll shoot you with the Dragon Bone Bow."

Jiang Feng warned.

The Little Cyan Snake nodded its head.

"Keep an eye on the door for me."

The Little Cyan Snake nodded again.

Jiang Feng then used spiritual power to tether the Little Cyan Snake to the Dragon Bone Bow. With the suppression of the Dragon Bone Bow, the Little Cyan Snake dared not act rashly, and escaping wouldn’t be easy.

Jiang Feng lay down quietly, wanting to have a comfortable sleep.

However, he couldn’t help but recall the conversation with the Little Cyan Snake, and for some reason, he felt something was off.

Yet, he couldn’t pinpoint where the problem lay.

One hour later.

"I know now."

Jiang Feng suddenly sat up, excitedly shouting.

The Little Cyan Snake, being tethered to the Dragon Bone Bow and suppressed by its aura, kept its head to the ground, its body trembling. Hearing Jiang Feng’s movement, it dared not make a sound.

"You dared to deceive me."

Jiang Feng picked up the Dragon Bone Bow and pressed the Little Cyan Snake’s head to the ground with it.

The Little Cyan Snake’s body was trembling uncontrollably, its tail constantly slapping the ground, as if begging for mercy.

The inherent racial suppression made its mind tremble, as if it had lost its resistance.

Jiang Feng removed the Dragon Bone Bow, resting it on his thigh, allowing the Little Cyan Snake to raise itself slightly, shivering.

It cautiously watched Jiang Feng, waiting for his command.

"What you said earlier is problematic. The Soul-Stabilizing Jade bestowed upon the Second Prince by the Divine Sect is not a mere trinket. I once knocked the Second Prince’s soul out of his body. Even if I hit him later with the Qinglong Cauldron, with my strength at that time, it wouldn’t have been possible to make his soul scatter in just a few hits."

Jiang Feng pondered for a long time before realizing the issue.

Facing the Second Prince that day, he spared no effort, aiming to kill him in the shortest time possible. Unexpectedly, although the Second Prince wasn’t as powerful as him, he had a continuous series of protective treasures.

Even with repeated heavy blows, he always remained alive.

If it weren’t for his relentless desire to kill the Second Prince, he wouldn’t have succeeded back then with the Six-armed Divine Emperor and Liu Chen obstructing him.

Jiang Feng had never doubted whether the Second Prince had died by his hand.

Only today, when the Little Cyan Snake mentioned the Soul-Stabilizing Jade, did Jiang Feng remember the scene where he knocked the Second Prince’s soul out and then saw it return to his body.

Instinctively, he thought that the Soul-Stabilizing Jade wasn’t just an ordinary item.

Even if he smashed the Second Prince’s physical body with the Qinglong Cauldron, the Second Prince’s soul should have been protected by the Soul-Stabilizing Jade, not scattered with no trace left.

This was the part that puzzled Jiang Feng.

"Tell me, is the Second Prince not really dead?"

Jiang Feng questioned.

He instinctively thought that the news of the Second Prince’s death was fabricated by the Emperor and the Divine Sect to confuse everyone, aiming to protect the Second Prince’s safety, fearing that he would unrelentingly seek revenge.

"No, the prince is dead. I witnessed it myself. His soul has scattered, and he couldn’t be more dead."

The Little Cyan Snake hastily wrote down.

"You dare deceive me again."

Jiang Feng, enraged, pressed the Dragon Bone Bow against the Little Cyan Snake’s head once more.

The Little Cyan Snake’s head was pressed to the ground, its body trembling, and its tail wrote a shaky line on the ground: "This snake swears by heaven, the Second Prince is dead. His soul has truly scattered, having seen his body, reduced to flesh by you, his soul has long vanished!"

To escape the suppression of the Dragon Bone Bow, the Little Cyan Snake desperately wrote down.

"Really dead?"

Jiang Feng was somewhat dumbfounded. Could it be that he was overthinking it?

"Dead, his soul scattered. Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn’t have been furious enough to crush the Soul-Stabilizing Jade."

The Little Cyan Snake’s tail wrote another line.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng moved the Dragon Bone Bow away.

The Little Cyan Snake slowly lifted its head, afraid that Jiang Feng wouldn’t believe it, and immediately wrote another line: "With your strength so formidable, even if the Second Prince’s bloodline was extraordinary, possessing a unique spiritual root, it wouldn’t have been enough to withstand a few strikes from you, resulting in his soul scattering."

The Little Cyan Snake did not know that Jiang Feng’s strength had only recently surged.

It merely assumed that Jiang Feng had hidden his abilities all along, pretending to be weak and fooling both it and the Emperor of the Great Tang.

"You make a valid point. Back then, I used the Qinglong Cauldron. How could the Second Prince’s mortal body withstand it?"

Jiang Feng summoned the Qinglong Cauldron and couldn’t help but nod.

"Gulp!"

Seeing the Qinglong Cauldron, the Little Cyan Snake couldn’t help but shrink its head. Back when it fought with Jiang Feng, it had bitten the Qinglong Cauldron, only feeling it was stinky and hard, unable to bite through it.

Yet now, as the Qinglong Cauldron hovered in Jiang Feng’s hand.

It saw the dragon-shaped shadows around the Qinglong Cauldron and felt an overwhelming pressure coming over, making its entire body’s scales stand on end.

"Does the Emperor already know my identity, know I worked at the Zhenbei Prison?"

Jiang Feng had been concerned about this matter.

Fearful that once his identity was exposed, it would pose a threat to Han Dong and Uncle Huo.

Upon hearing this, the Little Cyan Snake curled its body into a coil, resembling mosquito-repellent incense, circling round and round, with only its head slightly exposed, nodding slightly at Jiang Feng.
