Although Chu Yunmu didn't know why Chen Feng wanted to trap him instead of killing him, since everyone said so, he would follow suit.

At that moment, the five Nascent Soul experts made their move, and their immense power trapped Mingyan Lao Dao tightly.

"Do not insult me!"

Mingyan Lao Dao immediately understood that Chen Feng wanted to capture him alive.

As a late-stage Nascent Soul expert, he still had some dignity.

In an instant, his physical body began to expand, and the Nascent Soul inside him went into a frenzy, igniting the sea of power.

"You want to self-destruct? You'll have to ask me first!"

"Suppress!"

A golden suppression character fell on Mingyan Lao Dao's forehead.

Sacred radiance smoothed out the turbulent power in his body.

His physical body quickly returned to its original state.

"I originally wanted to kill you, but you caused me heavy losses. You should be the one to settle this debt."

"Ugh..." The golden suppression character gradually sealed his power, even closing off his ability to speak.

The Nascent Soul was sealed, and his consciousness gradually sank.

If he had the chance to speak, he would definitely curse:

"There is a cause for every injustice, and you should go find Bu Mie!"

However, Chen Feng didn't give him the opportunity.

The first body of Mingyan Lao Dao collapsed, and he had a great part in it. He would have to consume a lot of resources to recover.

After a moment, Mingyan Dao Ren stopped struggling. He was already on the verge of depletion, and he quickly fell into a state of sinking.

"Thank you, General Yunmu, for lending a hand!"

Chen Feng bowed sincerely to the weakened Chu Yunmu in front of him.

"It's only natural. When Zhen Nan Pass was attacked and Marquis was trapped, I should have taken action."

"Furthermore, this is Great Chu!"

He spoke seriously, his aura extremely fierce.

"These are for your healing."

Chen Feng smiled and took out a storage ring, stuffing it into Chu Yunmu's hand without hesitation.

"No, these are the spoils of the invasion by the chaotic forces. It's a great achievement..."

Chu Yunmu immediately wanted to push it back, but Chen Feng naturally wouldn't give him the chance.

"Accept it. Take care of Zhen Nan Pass for me in the future."

"In this battle, General, you have worked hard. Without your help, our situation would have been even more difficult."

"Very well..." Chu Yunmu didn't refuse any further and accepted the storage ring.

After some communication, Chen Feng sent Chu Yunmu away and looked at Zhen Nan Pass, shaking his head.

"This pass needs to be rebuilt again."

Immediately, he called for manpower to rebuild Zhen Yi Pass.

"Number Two, you will be stationed here to deter the weak!"

Number Two remained silent, sitting in front of the gate of Zhen Nan Pass.

"This... doesn't seem right..." Xia Jiao looked at the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator sitting without any airs in front of the dilapidated city gate.

"Don't worry about it."

Chen Feng shook his head and looked at Xia Jiao and the others.

"Let's go back to the clan!"

After saying that, Chen Feng picked up Mingyan Lao Dao and flew towards Chen County.

Wan Wutian glanced at Number Two, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the city gate, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

But he didn't pay much attention to it. If the person himself didn't care, there was no need for him to say anything.

So, he rose into the air and headed towards Chen County.

On the other side...

Chen Feng increased his speed and arrived at the forbidden chamber of the clan's territory.

Looking at the weak Nascent Soul in front of him, Chen Feng sighed.

He first took out a large bucket and let the Nascent Soul soak in it.

Then he turned his head and looked at Mingyan Lao Dao, black energy spreading in his eyes, devouring him.

Half a month passed.

The battle at Zhen Nan Pass caused a stir in Great Chu.

Zhen Nan Marquis Chen Feng and General Chu Yunmu joined forces, killing three Nascent Soul experts on the other side and capturing a late-stage Nascent Soul expert.

The Zhen Nan Marquis's mansion dispatched troops, occupying ten cities in the chaotic region, expanding the territory of Great Chu in the south.

Impressive achievements, the ancestral elder of the royal family was overjoyed and divided all the surrounding mountains of Chen County into the territory of the Chen clan.

Furthermore, it was promised that all the cities captured by Chen Feng in the chaotic land would be under his jurisdiction.

Becoming a true feudal lord, a small state.

Great Chu was only a nominal ruler.

For a while, Chen Feng's reputation soared.

On this day, Chu Yuxun's mother came to the Chen family.

"Empress, why didn't you inform me in advance of your visit? Let me prepare..."

Yes, Chu Yuxun's birth mother, a peak Nascent Soul existence, came knocking on the door.

Chen Feng felt a headache.

"No need for these formalities. I heard that you provided Chu Tianhun with pills that can enhance the power of Nascent Soul?"

Wang Qianrou's expression did not reveal any joy. She naturally exuded an air of majesty, her gaze fixed on Chen Feng.

Chen Feng secretly thought it was not good and looked up at the empress.

There was no need to say much about her appearance; she was also at the top level in Great Chu.

The other party asked directly, and Chen Feng couldn't keep silent.

He could only smile bitterly and say, "Yes, I wonder who told the empress about this?"

"Hmm?" Wang Qianrou frowned.

Seeing that she didn't want to say, Chen Feng didn't pursue it.

A higher official crushes people, let alone when the other party is the empress.

"I'll be direct. I want to ask you to refine some of these pills for my Xuner. What do you think?"

She looked at Chen Feng and asked, her voice softened, after all, she was making a request.

Chen Feng touched his nose, smiled, and said nothing.

What could he do?

What dare he do?

Chen Feng glanced at her.

"Since the empress knows about these pills, I'm sure you also understand how difficult it is to find the ingredients for them..."

"They are indeed quite difficult to find." Wang Qianrou smiled charmingly and a storage ring flashed.

A pile of medicinal materials appeared before their eyes, forming a small mountain.

"My Wang family is one of the three major families, much stronger than Chu Tianhun's mother's family. It's not difficult for us to find these medicinal materials."

"Indeed." Chen Feng thought to himself.

No wonder Chu Yuxun, a mere woman, and her current strength are weaker than Chu Tianhun's.

There are so many people supporting her because her mother's family is powerful.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng felt some sympathy for Chu Tianhun.

This child spent half a year searching for these medicinal materials and only found two sets.

But Wang Qianrou directly threw out four or five sets.

"How did you know which medicinal materials I needed?"

Chen Feng was also curious.

Wang Qianrou smiled and said, "That's simple. Do you think I wouldn't know if Chu Tianhun made a move?"

Chen Feng frowned, feeling some sympathy for Chu Tianhun.

This child has not had an easy time getting to where he is now.

However, the ancestral elder of the royal family stands behind him.

The help he received from the ancestral elder is more than that of other princes.

This also means that the royal family does not favor princes whose relatives are too powerful.

For example, Chu Yuxun.

Backed by the Wang family, one of the three major families, and the Sima family, one of the three dukes.

Wang Qianrou took out these medicinal materials and looked at Chen Feng with a burning gaze.

"Marquis Zhennan, you are also a smart person. I won't force you to do anything."

"Let's consider it a trade. We split the pills we refine in half, how about that?"

This was a step back made by Wang Qianrou.

Chen Feng frowned. Wasn't this openly siding with the enemy?

Although he hadn't taken sides, in the eyes of the Second Prince's faction, he was already one of them.

If this were to spread, it would have a negative impact.

After all, he was the Marquis of Zhennan! A powerful marquis, a prominent figure in Great Chu!

Therefore, Chen Feng said solemnly, with a serious tone, "Not enough!"
