Chapter 2240: Destroy Body and Spirit

Yun Yuqing’s expression was strange.

This guy really understands a woman’s heart! Which woman could possibly resist this kind of charm?

Jiang Luofu didn’t hesitate, and immediately pointed at the nearby Chang Fu. “Him!”

Even though King Wu was despicable, Chang Fu had been doing all of this for the sake of revenge because he was punished by her father for his crimes. He had killed many of the Jiang clan’s people. Her hatred for him had naturally reached the limit.

“Alright.” Zu An nodded and turned to Chang Fu. He didn’t ask why.

Chang Fu had just crawled to his feet. When he met Zu An’s gaze, he felt a mysterious sense of alarm. He quickly tried to hide in the crowd and gave King Wu a pleading look. He was about to say something, but there was a blur in front of his eyes, and Zu An disappeared.

By the time he could see clearly again, he was already in Zu An's hand, being held in front of Jiang Luofu. Chang Fu was a strong cultivator himself, and yet he'd been grabbed like a little chick and pressed against the ground. He couldn't move at all.

“How do you want to deal with him?” Zu An looked at Jiang Luofu, waiting for her words to decide his fate.

Jiang Luofu didn’t reply directly; instead, she walked up to the mother whose son had been killed. When they saw Zu An stand behind Jiang Luofu, the soldiers who were restraining that woman reflexively backed up. How could they dare to do anything?

Jiang Luofu undid the woman’s restraints. “Aunt, how do you want to get revenge? I’ll help you carry it out.”

This woman was the wife of a clan senior. Even though she was from a distant branch, Jiang Luofu still addressed her respectfully.

The woman shook off her restraints and walked up to Chang Fu with gritted teeth. “I want to get revenge myself, so there's no need for you to do anything!” Her son had been brutally killed by Chang Fu, and she herself had been taken advantage of. She was already beyond furious.

When he saw her walk toward him like a harbinger of death, Chang Fu was overcome by panic. “No! King, save me!”

He knew quite well what kind of end he would meet at the hands of a furious mother.

King Wu, feeling humiliated, said, “Regent, General Chang was only acting on the orders of the imperial edict. Even though he acted rather fiercely, it was primarily because of the Jiang clan’s rebellion.”

Zu An didn’t pay him any attention at all. He stood by Jiang Luofu and that woman’s side, coldly looking at all of the surrounding soldiers. They all unwittingly took a step back for fear of their intentions being misunderstood by him.

Such a response was unavoidable due to the prestige Zu An had accumulated over the years. That was especially true after he had erased the Meng clan, killed one of the eight dukes who was at the earth immortal rank, and even killed a giant dragon in the capital not too long ago. Even the Dragon King hadn’t dared to say anything about it back then. Later, there had evem been rumors that he'd killed all kinds of terrifying alien monsters. He was now already the publicly acknowledged strongest person in the world after Zhao Han’s death.

The more quick-witted among those present were already starting to worry. A lot of the developments in the capital had been founded on the assumption that the regent had already died while fighting the alien monsters. Now that he had returned safely, many people would probably be in danger.

The Jiang clan woman had already walked up to Chang Fu. She picked up the blade next to her and slowly gestured at his body, asking, “Where do you think I should stab first?” She was full of hatred and didn’t want to kill him immediately. She wanted him to experience as much pain as possible.

Chang Fu’s eyes narrowed. After all, he would normally be able to end this woman's life with a mere finger, but now, he had been mysteriously subdued by some kind of unknown power. He didn’t have the strength to retaliate at all, and could only watch as she gestured across his body.

“Madam, I... I was only acting on orders. This doesn’t have anything to do with me!” Chang Fu tried to emphasize his innocence.

King Wu narrowed his eyes.

I was planning on saving this idiot, and yet he's now pushing his wrongs onto me?

He'd been a bit conflicted on how to deal with Zu An to begin with. Now, he could just ignore Chang Fu and not save him.

Just then, Chang Fu screamed miserably as the woman stabbed the blade into his lower body.

The scream and the blood that spurted out actually startled the woman. A trace of fear appeared on her face. She was, after all, a woman who normally lived like a princess. When had she ever experienced something like this?

But when she gave the corpses of her son and husband a look, that fear quickly disappeared. She thrust the sword forth again. Even though she didn’t really understand cultivation, she still knew where a person’s vital points were.

Chang Fu screamed miserably again and again. At first, he continued pleading, but when he realized that it was useless, he began to loudly yell terrible curses.

However, Zu An found it noisy and crushed his jaw so he couldn't say anything else. Chang Fu could only whimper incomprehensible sounds as a result. Not being able to say anything made him suffer even more.

After the woman started, she gradually got used to the feeling. She continued to stab Chang Fu again and again. Even after Chang Fu fell silent, her hands didn’t stop.

The soldiers felt a numb sensation from their scalps. This was just too cruel.

Jiang Luofu quickly embraced the woman and said, “Enough, he’s already dead.”

The woman seemed to finally snap out of her daze. Her malicious expression returned to normal, and then she broke out into painful sobs.

Jiang Luofu continued to console her. When she heard her sobs and remembered what the Jiang clan went through today, her eyes couldn't help but turn red as well.

King Wu cleared his throat and said, “Regent, Chang Fu is still a court general, and yet you incited another person to carry out personal punishment. I fear that this is a bit unsuitable, no?”

“Oh.” Zu An gave him a look. “But it's already been done. What are you going to do about it?”

“I...” King Wu choked. He didn’t know what to say at all. Only now did he remember that this was someone who dared to kill a prince in broad daylight, and had even pulled the powerful Meng clan up by its roots. What was the big deal with eliminating a deputy general?

You have successfully trolled Zhao Yan for +299 +299...

He forcefully suppressed his rage and said in a serious tone, “Fine, since you’ve vented out your resentment, I'll take the Jiang clan’s people away now.”

Then, he gave the orders to bring the Jiang clan’s people away. As for Jiang Luofu... He gave those beautiful legs another look, but in the end, he still gave up on his thoughts of capturing her.

I’m not scared of him, there’s just no need to go further.

Jiang Luofu immediately panicked. However, Zu An gently patted her shoulder to signal her to feel at ease. He then said, “You can't bring the Jiang clan’s people away.”

When he heard that, King Wu was furious. “Regent, I have already given you enough face. Don’t go too far!”

You have successfully trolled Zhao Yan for +488 +488 +488...

“I don't need you to give me face, and I don’t need to give you any face either,” Zu An replied as he looked back coldly.

This seemed to be one of the main culprits behind the capital’s chaos. There was naturally no need for him to show this man any respect. Once he figured out exactly what had happened, he would then slowly settle the debt with all of these people.

“You...!” King Wu’s face turned entirely red. This guy wasn't giving him any face in front of so many people!

He'd been fully content with his achievements in the capital over the past few days. No matter where he stepped, the capital had trembled in response. Almost all of the major clans had acted with fear and respect toward him, and they had all started currying favor with him. He was already used to living proudly.

You have successfully trolled Zhao Yan for +666 +666 +666...

His face darkened as he exclaimed, “Do you understand what the crime of going against an imperial edict represents?”

“Everyone knows that Sir Jiang is upright and honest, and that he's incredibly loyal to the court, so there's absolutely no chance that he instigated a a rebellion. That means either someone offered slander to fool the emperor in the palace, or the emperor made a mistake himself,” Zu An said coldly.

With the help of Zu An’s spiritual pill and energy circulation, Jiang Boyang had gradually woken up. He felt a bit moved when he saw this scene. If Zu An hadn't arrived in time, the entire Jiang clan would likely have really been finished.

“You actually dare to speak such disgraceful words?!”

There was a huge uproar. King Wu was shocked and excited to see it.

He really got overconfident! He actually dared to say that the emperor made a mistake!

Yun Yuqing was also a bit worried.

He might have been a bit less careful with his words because of anger. The court will probably have many imperial censors criticizing him for this matter.

Zu An didn’t pay King Wu any attention, and instead supported Jiang Boyang to his feet. He then said, “Leave the Jiang clan’s people behind. I'll personally enter the court and hear the entire situation from his majesty myself.”

King Wu’s expression changed, but in the end, he laughed and said, “Since the regent insists on going against the imperial edict to protect the Jiang clan, you can explain it to his majesty yourself when the time comes.”

Since this bastard is so confident that he's willing to make this kind of mistake, the condemnations of the officials themselves will be more than enough for him to chew on!

Meanwhile, I’ll seize the chance to discuss things with everyone else. We’ll gather more experts to take him down.

Zu An’s battle achievements in the capital really were too shocking. Even though King Wu had brought a sizable force today, he still didn’t feel much confidence.

Besides, why do I have to take the risk of fighting bitterly when those other guys are just relaxing and waiting to reap the rewards?

When he thought of those things, he calmed down considerably. He gave the order for his people to let the Jiang clan go. He then said to Yun Yuqing, “Madam, it’s time to leave.”

He said that on purpose to remind her of her identity. After all, in everyone’s eyes, she was Madam Wu. .cσ๓

Yun Yuqing was thoroughly unwilling, but she couldn't really refuse him in front of so many people. She gave Zu An an apologetic smile.

She was about to say goodbye when she saw Zu An spread out his arms and say, “Yuqing, come over here.”

King Wu was speechless.
