Chapter 874: Chapter 874 “The Person Who Becomes Emperor

It took quite some time for Su Hanjing to part ways with Su Chuanyi and the others.

Even on the way to the airport, Su Hanjing was crying like a pear blossom bathed in rain; clearly, she did not want to leave.

Afterward, Ye Chenfeng and the other two boarded a plane heading to Xishu.

Somewhere in Jiangnan.

“According to reliable information, the Forbidden God King has left Jiangnan!” The speaker was Shadow Poison.

Lei Huo was the first to speak: “What? The Forbidden God King has left Jiangnan? Where did he go? Did he leave the Divine Land? What a pity, I haven’t had the chance to meet her yet!”

Shadow Poison gave a mysterious smile: “Lei Huo, your chance is coming!”

Lei Huo was puzzled: “Shadow Poison, what do you mean?”

“The Forbidden God King’s destination is the Tang Sect in Xishu. He’s taking Su Hang’s daughter to the Tang Sect! It’s said that Su Hang’s daughter Su Hanjing has connections with the Tang Sect in Xishu!” Shadow Poison said.

Lei Huo automatically ignored the latter half of the sentence: “What? Shadow Poison, you said the Forbidden God King went to the Tang Sect in Xishu?”

“That’s right, he’s going to the Tang Sect. That’s why I said your chance is coming!”

War sparks intensified in Lei Huo’s eyes: “Indeed, once he’s at the Tang Sect, the Forbidden God King will be isolated, without anyone to stop us. We can finally get rid of him! Haha, what a thrill, we’ve been waiting for this opportunity!”

Finally, Lei Huo was unable to contain his excitement.

“I’ve already notified headquarters. With the Tang Sect’s assistance, the Forbidden God King will be absolutely cornered. We should prepare to head to Xishu!” Shadow Poison ordered.

“This is going to be fantastic!” Lei Huo was the first to applaud, but then he asked, “Shadow Poison, who provided you with the information? While we’ve been keeping an eye on the Forbidden God King, he’s elusive and can easily shake us off. If he wants to go to the Tang Sect discreetly, it wouldn’t be hard for him.”

“It was Dragon Thorn’s instructor, Meng Xiangyu! He has his methods!” Shadow Poison replied.

“Ah, it was him, he does have quite a knack.” Lei Huo complimented.

…

Ye Chenfeng found himself speechless due to Han Hu, who was acting like a robot, not saying a word throughout the journey.

A few hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Xishu’s airport.

Su Hang’s people had arranged for Ye Chenfeng and the others to be taken to the hotel, and had prepared vehicles for them to enter the deep mountains where the Tang Sect was located.

They had hotpot for dinner, and the spice made Han Hu grimace in pain.

Ye Chenfeng ate heartily, and Su Hanjing had also adapted to the flavor, thoroughly enjoying the meal.

This confirmed Ye Chenfeng’s hunch that this girl was indeed born in Xishu, where people use spice to resist the damp cold, naturally growing accustomed to spicy food.

The three had no mood to roam around, so they returned to their respective rooms.

After waiting for a while, Ye Chenfeng left his room.

A figure just sped past the corridor, and Ye Chenfeng quickly followed.

This person was none other than Han Hu, emerging from the room opposite, with a rather mysterious demeanor. Ye Chenfeng wondered what he was up to.

After passing a couple of streets, Han Hu entered an entertainment club.

Without hesitation, Ye Chenfeng followed. Han Hu was highly alert, observing his surroundings every few steps, yet he failed to notice Ye Chenfeng.

Eventually, Han Hu confirmed he had no followers and entered a private room.

The room was crowded, with four members of the Heavenly Dragon Nine Extremes, Meng Xiangyu, and his eight subordinates.

“Hmm? Han Hu, what brings you here?” Meng Xiangyu couldn’t help but ask upon seeing Han Hu.

“Instructor Meng, rest assured, I haven’t been followed and the Forbidden God King hasn’t detected me.” Han Hu assured.

“Relax, Shadow Poison, Han Hu is my most reliable subordinate, dependable in his tasks!” Meng Xiangyu said.

Shadow Poison voiced some concern: “Better to be cautious, considering he’s the Forbidden God King after all.”

“You can relax. I’ve arranged for my people in the entire vicinity, and besides, the hotel they’re staying at is under my watch. Whether it’s the Forbidden God King following us or him just stepping out of the hotel, we’ll spot him immediately.” Meng Xiangyu said confidently.

Shadow Poison praised him: “Being Evil Dragon’s junior, your thoroughness is impressive! You’ll surely become the next Evil Dragon!”

“We aren’t on the same level as Evil Dragon Brother, no matter how hard I try, it’s useless, you’re over-praising me.” Meng Xiangyu said modestly.

“Haha, once we successfully eliminate the Forbidden God King, you’ll definitely join Dragon Flame! Your future holds great promise!” Shadow Poison said.

Meng Xiangyu nodded: “I hope so, and I will rely on your support!”

“That’s a given!” Lei Huo responded in his deep voice.

“Gentlemen, your drinks!”

Soon enough, a waiter arrived with two cases of beer.

“Do you need anything else, gentlemen?” The waiter asked.

“No, that’s all, leave us!”

Meng Xiangyu handed the waiter some tips.

“Thank you, gentlemen, call on me if you need anything!” The waiter said happily, unaware that the eyes beneath his hat brim flashed with a cold gleam.

The waiter, having received the tips, didn’t leave; instead, he quickly moved into the neighboring private room and did not come out again.

After staying for half an hour, Han Hu finally left.

But what they didn’t know was that someone else exited the entertainment club a minute later – Ye Chenfeng.

Moreover, he arrived at the hotel earlier than Han Hu.

Upon reaching the hotel, Han Hu specifically asked the staff if Ye Chenfeng had left, and upon receiving confirmation that he hadn’t, Han Hu relaxed.

The next day, the three of them drove a Wrangler, hurriedly heading toward Daba Mountain.

“Hanjing, did you know there’s an interesting story about Daba Mountain?” Seeing Su Hanjing’s gloomy expression, Ye Chenfeng decided to cheer her up.

Su Hanjing looked curiously at Ye Chenfeng: “Big Brother Ye, what’s the story?”

Even Han Hu, driving up front, couldn’t help but perk up his ears, eager to hear the story too.

“When I think of Daba Mountain, I think of a particular event. Since ’49, many people have claimed to be emperors here, at least four that I know of.” Ye Chenfeng said.

“Ah?” Su Hanjing’s face was filled with shock: “Emperors? Rulers?”

“Yes, they declared themselves emperors in their respective villages. One of them was laughable; he proclaimed himself emperor and within just seven days, was taken down by the village secretary’s men.” Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but laugh.

“Pfft!”

Su Hanjing also burst into laughter, her entire demeanor brightening, the earlier gloom dissipating.

“It’s so ridiculous! Declaring themselves emperors!” Su Hanjing continued to smile.
