CHAPTER 375: CHAPTER 385: PUPPET EMPEROR

"Just do your job well and accumulate power secretly! Also, pay attention to collecting useful intelligence and notify me at any time!" Chu Feng gave only these brief instructions.

His words were also an indirect admission of himself as the reincarnation of the Eternal Life Pill Master.

Chen Dazhong nodded slightly, "Master, take care!" After finishing, he took his subordinates and flew away on their swords.

"Pavilion Master, how should we deal with this damn Emperor?" Chen Dazhong’s subordinate asked.

"Leave it to Chu Feng to handle!" Chen Dazhong coldly glanced at the bound Beixie Emperor and others. His subordinates handed the prisoners over to Chu Feng on the spot.

These people were quite astute.

Chen Dazhong, leading them, had traveled thousands of miles to save this young man named Chu Feng. If they did not highly value him, they would have never done such a thing.

Therefore, Chen Dazhong’s skilled subordinates also intended to ingratiate themselves with Chu Feng in advance.

One by one, they were quite polite to Chu Feng.

Watching Chen Dazhong and others fly away, Chu Feng’s face was ice-cold. In his previous life, he took on so many disciples, and when in trouble, only one still remembered his kindness. As for those evil disciples, it would have been fine if they did not repay his kindness.

But some of them, to have a better life, even betrayed him outright, choosing to side with his arch-enemy, the Panlong Crown Prince.

The consciences of these people must have been eaten by dogs.

Chu Feng understood what these people were thinking. It was nothing more than the fear instilled by the powerful Panlong Crown Prince. They were afraid of being implicated by Chu Feng.

Directly siding with the enemy Panlong Crown Prince was the safest method.

It would spare them from the Panlong Crown Prince’s retribution.

"Those evil disciples, this Master will settle accounts with you sooner or later!" Chu Feng currently lacked the strength to clean house.

When his power grows stronger, he will certainly seek retribution on those ungrateful evil disciples.

Chu Feng looked at the Beixie Emperor and others, who were tied up like dead dogs. Now, he was the absolute ruler.

"Chu Feng, this Emperor knows his mistakes and is willing to apologize to you," the Beixie Emperor was no longer an emperor at this moment, but a prisoner at Chu Feng’s feet.

Chu Feng didn’t even glance at him, instead, he walked towards the cage where Li Shishi was imprisoned and rescued her immediately.

"Shishi, you’ve suffered," Chu Feng said.

Everyone’s gaze involuntarily focused on Li Shishi. The fact that Chu Feng valued her so much was enough to indicate her status in his heart.

"Damn it, this Emperor has been fooled again!" The Beixie Emperor, realizing that Li Shishi was the first one Chu Feng saved, saw that it wasn’t at all like what Chu Feng said. He had claimed that she was just a servant and her life or death didn’t matter.

Moreover, the Beixie Emperor was shocked to find that the frightening red rashes on Li Shishi’s face dissipated like magic once she stepped out of the cage.

It turns out, it was just a ruse she had used to deceive the enemy.

She was not poisoned at all.

"Chu Feng, you are so despicable! All of us have been fooled by you!" The Beixie Emperor couldn’t help but curse furiously.

"Despicable? It’s just that you’ve lost the game! You are no match for me, and now even your lives are in my hands. You have no right to accuse me of being despicable!" Chu Feng said with a cold sneer, leading Li Shishi towards the Beixie Emperor and the rest.

"What do we need to do for you to give us the antidote?" The Beixie National Master glared at Chu Feng and shouted angrily.

"Sorry, you might never get your hands on the antidote. As for him, he still has a little bit of use, so he cannot die." A Detoxification Pill appeared in Chu Feng’s hand.

No matter whether it was the Beixie Emperor, State Preceptor, or that poisoned old eunuch, all of them were intently focusing on that Detoxification Pill.

As for Alchemy King Luo Qian, in whom they placed great hope, he had already taken the chaos as an opportunity to escape without a trace.

This was probably the most graceful way for Alchemy King Luo Qian to make an exit.

The grand Alchemy King, to be publicly humiliated by an unknown young alchemist. If he continued to stay here, he would only suffer greater embarrassment.

"What is this?"

The Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect and others were bewildered, sensing that the situation seemed amiss. Had Chu Feng actually poisoned both the Beixie Emperor and Beixie National Master? Furthermore, these two dignitaries, despite trying every means, were unable to cure the poison administered by Chu Feng.

"Isn’t the Northern Beixie Empire nurturing an Alchemy King?" Pu Li inquired among those around who were in the know.

"That damn Alchemy King, despite exhausting all means, could not cure the poison that afflicted the Beixie Emperor and the others. He slipped away early."

Upon these words, another uproar swept through the crowd.

Good heavens, this Chu Feng’s alchemy skills were too formidable! Even Alchemy King Luo Qian couldn’t cure the poison he concocted.

Only then did the Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect and the kneeling elders realize that even without them, Chu Feng wouldn’t be in any danger.

He could just as well defeat the Beixie Emperor.

They gained a deeper understanding of Chu Feng’s methods.

This youngster was truly a devilish genius, simply a stirring stick wherever he pointed, he struck, with nobody able to withstand him.

Anyone who provoked Chu Feng was doomed to either death or injury. At the very least, they would be left thoroughly humiliated.

"This antidote will keep you alive for one month. If you behave, there will naturally be another antidote available when the time comes," Chu Feng said while looking at the Beixie Emperor.

"This Emperor requires an elixir that can cure the poison in one go. Name your conditions," the Beixie Emperor, being the ruler of a nation, endowed with extraordinary talent and strategy, would not willingly submit to coercion by a youth.

"You don’t have the right to negotiate the terms. If you disagree, this Detoxification Pill can be given to him for consumption,"

"I think this esteemed National Master has all the capabilities to replace your position," Chu Feng said coldly, his gaze sweeping towards the Beixie National Master beside him.

"Fine... Okay!" the Beixie Emperor naturally wasn’t willing to let go of the chance to preserve his life. With his power and wealth, he would extend his life for a month first, and then naturally, he could find a way to seek an adept alchemist to concoct an antidote.

He immediately opened his mouth, and with a flick of Chu Feng’s finger, the antidote was popped into his mouth.

"You may take your men and leave now. If there is anything you need, I will have someone inform you. Of course, during this time, you’re free to openly seek other alchemists for an antidote,"

"If you manage to cure the poison, that’s your good fortune. If not, you will have to obediently follow my orders and be a puppet Emperor."

The expression on Chu Feng’s face was extremely indifferent, even if it was a great scheme, as orchestrated by him, it was an open and honorable plot.

He was making it clear to the Beixie Emperor that he was free to try finding a cure for the poison.

"Cough... This Emperor knows your poison is potent, I wouldn’t cause myself trouble," the Beixie Emperor disingenuously denied his true inner thoughts. He was just that hypocritical.

"As you wish, now get lost!"

Chu Feng commanded. Han Dong unsheathed his sword and cut the Beixie Emperor’s bindings.

"This old eunuch has followed this Emperor for many years; I ask that you also administer a pill to save him," the Beixie Emperor, after taking Chu Feng’s Detoxification Pill, showed immediate signs of recovery. His painful symptoms directly started to improve.

The intense, bone-deep itching disappeared at once, and the red rash on his skin began to recede quickly.
