Chapter 91: The Twelfth Death Pact

Gu Feng was utterly speechless. How had such a dim-witted fool ever become a general? He told him to go inside and take a look.

The general went into the house, saw the city lord's corpse, and flew into a rage. “Ah! You bastard dogs, you killed Lord City Lord. You all deserve to die!”

He stormed back out furiously, only to find that the few of them were regarding him with cool indifference. He drew himself up and said, “Why are you not afraid? Why are you not afraid of me? You killed the city lord, and that is a crime.”

Gu Feng looked at him and shook his head. “Forget it. We'll find someone else to lead the way.”

Gu Yan asked in confusion, “Then what about him?”

“What's there to do with such a stupid fool? Just leave him to it.”

“You're calling me stupid? I'll kill you!”

His spear flashed out, spear-shadows scattering wildly. Only when they reached the enemy did the chaotic afterimages merge into one, forming the terrifying force of the Wild Spear Shadow.

“Kill him.”

Gu Feng could not even be bothered to look at him. Encountering such a fool, he could only blame his own bad luck.

Closest to him was Feng Wan'er. After her latest breakthrough, she too had reached Spirit Master rank seven, about the same as this foolish general. A single sword thrust, launched in a surprise attack, pierced straight through his heart.

The general turned in disbelief to stare at Feng Wan'er, pointing at her. “You dare... kill me?”

His body crashed to the ground.

“Let's go. Someone's ahead.”

Up ahead, a woman came hurrying toward them, followed by two maids.

Turning the corner, Gu Feng saw her, and she saw Gu Feng and the others.

“Who are you people?”

She had not yet learned that the city lord had invited Gu Feng as a guest.

“And who are you, running wild through the city lord's residence like this, flustered and improper? What sort of behavior is that?” Gu Feng snapped in an official tone. He found it rather amusing, and for a moment even wondered whether he might take up a post someday. He just did not know what sort of emperor there was.

“How ridiculous! This is my home. I can do as I please. As for you, one look is enough to tell you're no good.”

“Good? Very good. We really are no good. Not like you—you look like a thing all right, but you have not a shred of humanity in you.”

“How dare you insult me!” Gu Feng's words made her ample breasts tremble violently with rage.

“Hey, friendly reminder: take it easy, or you might shake something loose. And who knows whether what's left would be real or fake?”

Seeing Gu Feng staring at her chest, how could she fail to understand what he meant?

“You lecher! Men, seize him and castrate him for the dogs!”

“Damn, what a vicious heart. Men, seize her and lead her away on a leash like a dog.”

The woman was pretty enough, perfectly developed, but her cultivation was nothing special. With Xue Wen making the move, she was easily taken.

“Ah! Let go of me, you little bitch! If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll wipe out your whole family!”

“Your mouth is so venomous. Looks like you're no good either.”

The two maids were a little frightened, but in their eyes there was also a clear wish for Gu Feng and the others to kill this woman.

“Hm? Why aren't you pleading for her? Isn't she your mistress?”

One maid, shamelessly without the least embarrassment, lifted her clothes and exposed her chest. “See that? She always thought my breasts were bigger than hers, and she treated me like this because of it.”

Seeing the maid complain to strangers, the woman cursed viciously, “You wretched servant! I fed you, clothed you, and this is how you repay me? Just you wait. I'll torture you to death.”

Gu Feng looked at her—not drooling, but in fury. She was simply insane. Compared with her, he still fell far short in cruelty; there was much to learn.

“Kill her.”

“Ah! Brother Feng, weren't we going to make her lead the way?”

“Anyone can lead the way.”

“You dare not kill me! I am the city lord's wife. If you kill me, none of you will escape!”

Seeing that Gu Feng and the others only looked at him without making a move, she thought they were afraid and said smugly, “Scared now, aren't you? Hurry and let me go. I can spare your lives. Cutting off your hands and feet will be enough.”

“You motherfucker, you still want to cut off our hands and feet?”

Gu Feng instantly appeared beside her, seized her throat, and pulled her away from Xue Wen's grip.

His bearing was so intimidating that even Xue Wen was startled.

“You still want to cut off my hands and feet? I'll break your arm right now.”

He grabbed one of her hands. Under her utterly terrified gaze—

Crack!

Her scream that followed was shrill and heartbreaking.

It was a long while before she finally stopped screaming, glaring at Gu Feng as she roared, “I'll fight you to the death!”

With her neck clenched in his hand, she could only claw and kick wildly.

“You want to fight me? I'll cripple every limb you have.”

Crack, crack...

In a few swift motions, he crippled all four of her limbs, and even her meager cultivation with them, then flung her to the ground like a dead dog.

The maid looked at the ferocious Gu Feng and said, “You'd better run. The city lord won't let you get away with this.”

Gu Feng put on a kindly smile. “Don't be afraid. The city lord has gone to discuss important matters with the King of Hell.”

“What? You... killed the city lord?”

“No, no. It was the city lord who asked us to kill him. Just like her—didn't she ask me to cripple her too?”

“I told you, I'm a good person. If I were bad, how could I have so many lovely women following me? Doesn't that make sense?”

The two maids stared blankly, then nodded.

“Oh, by the way, does anyone know where the city lord's treasury is?”

“We both know. That bitch often goes there to take things.”

“That's wonderful. Please lead the way. We'd like to visit the city lord's treasury.”

The two maids were speechless. If you want to take the valuables, just say so. Why bother calling it a visit?

With someone guiding them, they soon reached the treasury of the city lord's residence.

It was heavily guarded, by no fewer than a thousand soldiers. One must know that the treasury lay within the city lord's own residence, yet it was still protected by such force. That could only mean there was a great deal of wealth inside.

“Stop right there! Who are you people? This is a restricted area. Leave at once!”

The guards did not dare offend them too severely. After all, anyone who could enter the city lord's residence was no ordinary person. Driving them off would do.

Gu Feng signaled that the maids could leave.

Fearing trouble would come to them, the maids turned and ran.

After leaving, the two maids realized that the woman was not yet dead. After some discussion, they turned back and indeed found her still lying there, moaning in misery.

Seeing her maids return, a flash of malice crossed the woman's eyes. Then she forced a false smile. “Xiao Lan, Xiao Hong, I knew you wouldn't abandon me. Hurry and take me to a physician. I will reward you handsomely.”

Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong immediately sneered.

Xiao Lan said, “For all the things you did to me, I'll make you pay them back.”

Xiao Hong said, “And me too. I'll make you pay as well.”

“What are you going to do? Aren't you afraid the city lord will punish you?”

The two of them dragged her into a room and began the revenge that belonged to them.

Over at the treasury, Gu Feng and the others were surrounded by heavily armed troops. A man in black emerged from within.

“Who are you? How did you get into the city lord's residence?”

Gu Feng smiled and said indifferently, “Kill them.”
