Chapter 102: So Useless

“What did you say?”

With a loud bang, a violent aura wreaked havoc.

Ma Fengzhang flicked his sleeves and blocked the aura. Otherwise, the tables and chairs in the room would be completely ruined.

“Your Highness, please calm down!” Ma Fengzhang said.

Yang Hong hid behind Ma Fengzhang and was so frightened that his face turned pale. He was not yet a ranked martial artist, so he couldn’t withstand the princess’s anger.

Her Highness and Superintendent are indeed having an affair. Otherwise, why would she be so angry? Yang Hong thought, but he was trembling with fear.

He was also a little vexed now. Originally, he had only wanted to do Superintendent Zhou a favor. But who would have thought that instead of doing so, he had committed a grave mistake?

This time, he was in big trouble.

Yang Hong’s mouth was full of bitterness. He still didn’t know what to do next.

“Your Highness, it’s already happened. The most important thing right now is to rescue Superintendent Zhou and capture Zhu Chuanfeng,” Ma Fengzhang said in a low voice.

He cursed his unfortunate luck inwardly. Originally, Yin Wuyou had only come to discuss Zhu Chuanfeng with him.

After all, Yin Wuyou was the grand minister of the Forging Division, and Zhu Chuanfeng was nominally a part of the Forging Division. If something happened to him, it would have a profound impact on the Forging Division.

Who knew that when Yin Wuyou was here, Yang Hong had suddenly reported that the superintendent of the 0th Workshop, Zhou Shu, was suspected to be held hostage?

Wasn’t this adding fuel to the fire?

“Commander Ma, is this how your Divine Constable Bureau does things?” Yin Wuyou said angrily. “The entire city is locked down. How could you let people escape?”

Ma Fengzhang smiled bitterly in his heart. There was no way to explain this dereliction of duty. Logically speaking, the commander of the Divine Constable Bureau didn’t report to the grand minister of the Forging Division, but she was the princess.

“Your Highness, they just left the city and couldn’t have gone far. I’ll set off now. No matter what, I will rescue Superintendent Zhou!” Ma Fengzhang said without hesitation.

“I’ll go with you!” Seeing Ma Fengzhang fly away, Yin Wuyou went after him without hesitation.

Yang Hong was dumbfounded as he watched Yin Wuyou fly like a fairy. Her Highness is also a third-rank Grandmaster?

Only those at and above the third rank of the Martial Dao could fly.

However, isn’t it rumored that the princess’s Martial Dao cultivation is only at the seventh rank?

Yang Hong looked around guiltily. He felt like he knew something he shouldn’t know. Will I be silenced?

No, it was too dangerous. He had to enter the ranks soon.

After entering the ranks, he would be a divine constable. He would at least be more useful. He shouldn’t be silenced so easily, right?

Yang Hong was full of a sense of crisis. This sense of crisis made him feel that his Martial Dao cultivation bottleneck had loosened a lot.

Superintendent Zhou, oh Superintendent Zhou, it’s not that I don’t want to save you. But considering my cultivation level, there’s nothing I can do. I’m going to go into seclusion!

Outside the northern gate, about ten miles away from the capital city, a horse carriage was running frantically away from the city.

Zhu Chuanzhi controlled the carriage. Within the carriage, Zhu Chuanfeng held a saber pressed against Zhou Shu’s neck.

This old fellow was really cautious. His Martial Dao cultivation was at the sixth rank, which was not low. But he actually held a Forging Apprentice who had just come into contact with the Martial Dao hostage. It was embarrassing!

“Grand Craftsman Zhu, you are a Grand Craftsman. Why are you using a standard weapon?” Zhou Shu asked.

The saber Zhu Chuanfeng was holding was actually an Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber that Zhou Shu had personally forged!

This was also very interesting. Zhou Shu had no idea where Zhu Chuanfeng had obtained the Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber.

Other than the one Yin Wuyou took away back then, no one else should have an Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber.

The Autumn Anatidae Plume Sabers were not publicly supplied yet.

Zhou Shu felt a little cold.

“Do you think that there’s a need to use a ranked weapon to deal with you?” Zhu Chuanfeng sneered.

Zhou Shu rolled his eyes in his head. If you knew my true strength, you wouldn’t have said that.

Forget about standard weapons. Even if you have a heaven-grade weapon, I’ll admit defeat if you’re able to kill me!

“I just feel that with your status, you should be equipped with a heaven-grade weapon.” Zhou Shu said.

He couldn’t forget Zhu Chuanfeng’s seven heaven-grade weapons. If it wasn’t for them, who would have the time to act with him?

If he could get his hands on those seven heaven-grade weapons, he wouldn’t have to worry about the budget of the 0th Workshop for the time being.

Zhu Chuanfeng laughed coldly. He had no intention of explaining himself to Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu wanted to test him, but his ears suddenly twitched.

He subconsciously turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of Chang’an.

Zhu Chuanzhi’s voice sounded.

“Big Brother, someone is coming! It’s a third-rank grandmaster!” Zhu Chuanzhi’s voice was full of panic.

A third-rank grandmaster had the ability to fly. It was impossible for a carriage to outrun them!

“Big Brother, you go first. I’ll cover you!” Zhu Chuanzhi roared.

In the distance, two powerful auras were rapidly approaching.

Zhou Shu frowned slightly. How did they arrive so quickly? I haven’t even asked where the seven heaven-grade weapons are.

“No! You can’t beat them!” Zhu Chuanfeng roared. “Go, hurry up and leave! As long as we reach the post house ten miles away, we’ll be safe!”

Post house? Zhou Shu’s heart skipped a beat. Does Old Zhu have some sort of backup plan at the post house?

That shouldn’t be the case. What trump card does he have that can stop two third-rank Grandmasters?

Even though they have heaven-grade weapons, their cultivation is still insufficient.

… Unless their reinforcements are there!

No, there’s no time to waste.

Zhou Shu cursed in his heart. The Zhu brothers were truly useless. He had already brought them out of the city, yet they got caught up so quickly. He didn’t even have time to gather information!

Zhu Chuanfeng looked back. Although he couldn’t sense the aura of the third-rank grandmasters behind him, he knew that they were not far away.

“Two—”

Zhu Chuanfeng turned around and was about to say something to Zhu Chuanzhi.

Suddenly, he saw Zhou Shu raise his head, looking somewhat mocking.

“You…”

“Shut up.” Zhou Shu said. “You two are so useless. You can’t even run away.”

“Are you courting death!?” Zhu Chuanfeng was enraged. This brat dared to mock him.

Ding!

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhou Shu raise his hand and flick his finger. The Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber trembled violently, and a powerful force spread out. His arm went numb, and the saber fell from his hand.

“You…” Fear appeared in Zhu Chuanfeng’s eyes.

Before he could say anything, Zhou Shu had already struck him on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.

Zhu Chuanzhi heard the commotion inside the carriage. In his haste, he didn’t think much of it. While frantically driving the carriage, he lifted the curtain.

“Big Brother, rather than killing him, we might as well keep him hostage…”

Before Zhu Chuanzhi could finish his sentence, an arm reached out from the carriage and grabbed his neck precisely.

Zhu Chuanzhi’s pupils contracted as the spiritual essence in his body was about to explode. Suddenly, a mysterious power crashed into his body. The power was not as condensed as spiritual essence, but there was a lot of it, and it instantly dispersed the spiritual essence in his body.

Once his spirit essence dissipated, his body immediately went limp, and he didn’t even have the strength to grunt.

He could only watch helplessly as Zhou Shu carried his elder brother in one hand and carried him in the other. He stomped on the ground and shot into the sky.

At this moment, Zhu Chuanzhi finally realized that he had been tricked a second time!

This Zhou Shu was also an expert!

Zhu Chuanzhi couldn’t understand why his luck was so bad.

He felt that he was unlucky, and Zhou Shu felt that he himself was also unlucky.

Originally, he had wanted to pretend that he was being held hostage by the Zhu brothers. When he arrived at the place they kept their weapons, he would take action. At that time, he would take seven heaven-grade weapons and leave.

In the end, the Zhu brothers were too useless. They hadn’t even run far when they were almost caught.

At this time, if Zhou Shu didn’t make a move, the Zhu brothers would be completely annihilated by the Divine Constable Bureau. How could he let that happen? Although he was close to the Divine Constable Bureau, he couldn’t just give up the seven heaven-grade weapons to them.

At most, he would just return the Zhu brothers to them.

Zhou Shu carried the Zhu brothers while leaping through a forest.

At this moment, he didn’t care if he would leave any traces behind. He could only leave as soon as possible and hope that the third-rank Grandmasters wouldn’t catch up so quickly.

Even though he couldn’t fly, he had unparalleled divine strength. Using the tree trunks as leverage, he could leap several meters. Then he kicked another tree and leaped another several meters.

Without even touching the ground, he continued to fly.

He was much faster than the carriage.

On the other side, Ma Fengzhang and Yin Wuyou descended from the sky one after another. Ma Fengzhang raised his hand and stopped the wild carriage with a copious force.

“There’s no one here!” Yin Wuyou’s face turned cold.

Ma Fengzhang wasn’t surprised that Yin Wuyou was able to catch up. It was obvious that he already knew Yin Wuyou’s true cultivation level.

“Your Highness, the post house is several miles ahead.” Ma Fengzhang suddenly said.

“What do you mean?” Yin Wuyou frowned. “I’m worried about Zhou Shu’s safety. What post house? Does it matter?”

“The diplomatic envoys of Great Wei are currently at the post house!” Ma Fengzhang did not beat around the bush and directly said, “If Zhu Chuanfeng is really colluding with the Great Wei…”

Yin Wuyou’s pupils constricted. She understood that Zhu Chuanfeng colluding with Great Wei was an excuse the Imperial Court came up with, but no one dared to conclude that Zhu Chuanfeng was not related to Great Wei.

Even if he wasn’t previously, if the Grand Craftsman wanted to join them, Great Wei wouldn’t reject him.

If Zhu Chuanfeng came into contact with Great Wei’s diplomatic envoys…

Yin Wuyou realized the severity of the problem.

“Your Highness, the carriage is here. Zhu Chuanfeng definitely hasn’t reached the post house yet. I will go to the post house now and stop them from coming in contact,” Ma Fengzhang decisively said.. “Your Highness, follow the carriage’s route and continue to track Zhu Chuanfeng. I will immediately send a message to the Fiend Eradication Army to assist!”
