Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 169 - 138: Confronting to the End!

"Hmm?"

Jiang Feng was attracted by the metallic sheen.

He quickly approached the crack.

He saw a golden box hidden within the wall.

"Boom!"

Jiang Feng struck it again with his saber.

The layer of mud on the wall fell off in large pieces, the crack expanded, and the golden box was right in front of him.

Jiang Feng reached out and grabbed it, using all his strength to pull it out.

"Bang!"

The box was very heavy.

He had no idea what material it was forged from, as Jiang Feng’s two consecutive strikes only left shallow cracks on its surface.

He saw that there was a latch on the box.

Instantly, he tried the second key to see if it would open it.

"Creak!"

The key slipped in and opened very easily.

"This... these are all silver notes."

Inside, Jiang Feng found a large stack of silver notes.

The denomination of each silver note ranged from at least a thousand taels to as much as ten thousand taels.

"This booklet... is a list of Dark Hall personnel."

"This one is the information on tasks executed by Dark Hall personnel, and the corresponding relevant people."

"Good heavens, with these things in my hands, the Second Prince will surely go mad."

Jiang Feng found two booklets under the silver notes.

One recorded the identities of the Dark Hall members.

The other recorded the details of tasks executed by the Dark Hall personnel over the years.

"Let the storm rage even more fiercely!"

Jiang Feng took all the silver notes and ledgers, leaving nothing behind.

He then quickly exited the secret chamber, intending to leave the commerce guild headquarters.

"Quick, surround it!"

"Right inside!"

Jiang Feng heard the commotion outside.

"Heh, they came really quickly."

Jiang Feng sneered.

He performed the Three-legged Body Technique.

With his feet stepping on a burst of golden light, a swoosh sounded, and he turned into a shadow, charging straight out of the commerce guild headquarters.

"Thief, stay!"

A figure charged towards Jiang Feng.

It was a First Grade Qi Refining realm expert.

It seemed to be a Dark Hall member who rushed back to support.

"Howl!"

Jiang Feng slashed out with his saber, responding to the opponent, his innate primordial power exploded, forming a visible blade glow, which frightened the opponent, who wanted to stop and retreat, but was quickly caught up by Jiang Feng’s blade glow.

Thud!

Killed with one slash.

No suspense at all.

"The president is dead."

"We can’t let him escape."

After slashing the man to death, the ones rushing up showed no fear; instead, they threw a large net towards Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng dodged using his body technique.

Turning back, he cleaved out with two consecutive slashes, causing the martial artists rushing in line to fall head over heels, and countless lives were lost on the spot.

"Whiz!"

Suddenly, a breaking sound came.

It was an arrow from over a hundred meters away.

Jiang Feng raised his saber to block it, and the arrow was nailed to the blade, easily blocked by him.

He saw it was a divine archer.

Archery of great success.

Hundred-step Piercing Willow. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

But still too weak compared to him.

Jiang Feng moved his body, approaching the person.

The person wanted to draw the bow and nock an arrow to shoot Jiang Feng again, but unexpectedly, Jiang Feng, who was a hundred meters away, seemed like a shadow, swiftly reaching in front of him, whoosh, and cut him down along with his bow with one swing.

This was a massacre.

No one could stop Jiang Feng.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a gust of wind surged in.

"Stop, do you know whose turf you’re making trouble on?"

The voice was mixed in with the gust of wind.

"Innate!"

Jiang Feng exclaimed.

The voice in the wind could only be captured by the perception power of an innate powerhouse.

He didn’t hesitate, turning around and leaving at once.

After all, the Dark Hall was created by the Second Prince, filled with experts, having an innate powerhouse in charge was not surprising.

If he continued to entangle, once the opponent caught up, leaving would not be so easy.

Just like that, Jiang Feng dashed out of the commerce guild headquarters, darted into the building complex ahead, and quickly disappeared from the sight of the Dark Hall members. By the time they chased out, Jiang Feng was nowhere to be seen.

A short while later.

"Boom!"

A black shadow rushed from the Imperial City and descended onto the commerce guild headquarters.

The powerful aura fluctuation shook the entire venue, causing all the Dark Hall members to look at each other in astonishment, gazing at him with respectful awe.

The figure was wrapped in a layer of dark aura.

Making it impossible to see his face clearly.

He turned and looked around the commerce guild’s surroundings.

When he saw the blood flowing like a river and corpses lying everywhere, the dark aura on his body was calm, always very docile, until he noticed signs of people escaping from the secret chamber being slaughtered.

The dark aura trembled.

The person seemed to vanish on the spot.

Arriving inside the secret chamber.

Seeing antiques and paintings destroyed.

Elixirs and poisonous powders scattered all over the ground.

Weapons like knives, spears, swords, and halberds were lost in pieces, and the passage inside the stone door was piled with corpses. The dark aura on his body flickered.

But it seemed he could still control it.

"No!"

However, when he saw the golden chest, opened and thrown on the ground, he couldn’t help but roar in anger.

The dark aura on his body.

Seemed to boil over completely.

Engulfing the entire secret chamber.

Causing the Dark Hall members guarding outside the secret chamber to tremble in fear, as if faced with a primordial beast.

"Who is it?"

He was like a primordial beast shrouded in black fog, invisible.

Rushing out of the secret chamber.

To the rooftop of the tallest pavilion at the Commerce Headquarters.

Gazing around Dragon Capital.

A gust of wind swept outward all around.

Amidst the wind and waves came his chilling voice.

"If you leave those two things untouched, I can let bygones be bygones today."

This was a type of Sound Transmission Technique.

Only those with the strength of an Innate Powerhouse could perceive it; in the eyes of Postnatal Martial Artists, it was just a gentle breeze, appearing unremarkable.

Jiang Feng, traveling through the alley back towards Willow Alley.

Caught the sound from the howling wind and waves.

But being some distance away from the Commerce Headquarters and gradually veering in direction, the sound he heard was faint and intermittent. As an Innate Powerhouse himself, Jiang Feng knew this type of sound transmission method was not very sophisticated and could only deceive ordinary people.

Not only did it consume a lot of Primordial Power.

But distance was also limited.

Beyond ten miles, it couldn’t be heard anymore.

So he returned silently, without a word, to Willow Alley.

And did not respond.

The figure enveloped in black fog.

Unable to capture any information for a long time.

Eventually, with hatred, transformed into a plume of black smoke, speeding towards the Imperial City.

He knew the importance of those two account books.

Once they fell into enemy hands, the personnel recorded couldn’t be used anymore; some undercover agents hidden within enemy forces would be exposed instantly, with unimaginable consequences.

Especially the mission record information of the related personnel.

These were matters that couldn’t see the light of day.

If exposed to the public, the Second Prince would become the target of all.

Even if those harmed had no direct evidence, the Second Prince’s reputation in the future would be irreparable, affecting whether he could become the ruler of the Great Tang in the future.

Thus, the issue here was beyond imagination.

The shadow must immediately notify the Second Prince, even if he was in bed with a concubine, it had to be interrupted at once, to make him aware of all this.

In Willow Alley.

Jiang Feng sat on the bed.

Reviewing the list of Dark Hall personnel.

The content of the list was very simple, filled with identity information, job positions, and addresses of Dark Hall members.

This list clearly showed who the core members of Dark Hall were, and who were external members.

Once this list was exposed, these members could no longer operate in secret, especially undercover agents, whose fate was predictable.

Jiang Feng skimmed through it.

Then opened another account book.

The second account book recorded the various plans executed by Dark Hall personnel; some were completed missions, some were still in progress, and others were related tasks being prepared for implementation.

"Expose Han Dong’s sect location, use the Blood Skull to kill Daoist Qingyang, obtain Cultivation Technique. Task half-completed, successfully eliminated Daoist Qingyang, failed to obtain Cultivation Technique."

"Delay King Zhennan’s grain transport, incite bandits, set traps and ambush on the grain route, burn bridges and block roads. Task completed, successfully delayed grain transport by fifteen days."

Jiang Feng saw two pieces of mission information.

"So, the Second Prince knew from the beginning that Sister Dong’s master had a Cultivation Technique."

Jiang Feng muttered to himself.

He thought again of Wang Qisheng.

Back then, Wang Qisheng was imprisoned in Zhenbei Prison by the Second Prince. It was rumored that he had done something that displeased the Second Prince; now it seemed it was likely about the Cultivation Technique. The Second Prince thought Wang Qisheng’s technique was problematic, thinking Wang Qisheng was deceiving him, so he locked Wang Qisheng in Zhenbei Prison for a few days as punishment. In prison, Wang Qisheng seemed to find the crux of the problem, hastily seeking the Five Poison Grass to verify personally.

Unexpectedly, he died at the hands of Cao Zhengyang and Jiang Feng because of this.

"Even dared to meddle with King Zhennan’s grain, now with Xiao Ran dead, if King Zhennan saw this content, what would he think?"

Jiang Feng was very much looking forward to it.

He knew that the Second Prince could never have imagined, that one day, the Dark Hall would lose these two critically important account books.

The content of the original list was just to ensure the completeness of personnel information, to prevent impersonation by others on one hand, and so that in case of urgent matters, relevant tasks could be assigned immediately on the other.

As for the mission content and completion information, it was to assist the top levels in checking whether tasks were completed, if there were any anomalies during the process, and how the progress was. In case of any issues, they could quickly terminate the relevant plans based on this information. The necessary personnel could also be dealt with quickly, preventing others from tracing the vine to the melon.

Who could have thought that one day, such crucial information would fall into Jiang Feng’s hands.

This was much deadlier than the account book that Cao Zhengyang lost last time.

"This time, I will create an earthquake in Dragon Capital! Go head-to-head with the Second Prince!"

Having confirmed the content of the two account books.

Jiang Feng quickly left Willow Alley.

Last time, after obtaining the account book, he didn’t want to blow things up, and in the end, found no alternative but to hand the account book over to the Seventh Prince. Now, things have evolved to this point, and there’s no room for easing tensions anymore.

Regardless of whether the Second Prince will discover him in the future.

In any case.

Jiang Feng absolutely cannot allow the Second Prince to control the imperial court.

To become the Crown Prince of the Great Tang.

He must deliver these two pieces of content to the Seventh Prince as soon as possible.

He believed that the Seventh Prince, always suppressed by the Second Prince and equally eager to become the ruler of the Great Tang, would show no mercy once he obtained these two account books.
