Chapter 237: Chapter 177: Customized Nightmare

After digesting the information he had, Zou Feng quickly formulated a bold yet feasible plan.

Assassinating the Cheetah Camp’s marshal was just the beginning—the start of a plan to throw the situation in Jiangnan Prefecture into further chaos.

As for how exactly to deal with Yuwen Boxi and rescue his gang brothers and Bian Yixia…

It was actually quite simple: give him a taste of his own medicine.

To put it bluntly, Yuwen Boxi had laid an inescapable trap across Yuan Guang County, just waiting for him to fly into the flame like a moth.

No matter how much his current strength might exceed the old bastard’s expectations, charging in recklessly or trying to sneak in stealthily were not wise choices.

He would most likely fail to save anyone and end up getting caught himself.

Therefore, he had to be clear about his role in this situation.

His identity as an Evil Cultivator!

He, Zou Feng, was no lone hero from a storyteller’s tale who would rush headfirst into the enemy’s formation in a fit of passion.

Yuwen Boxi had provoked a master of the Poison Dao who, while having some principles, didn’t have very many.

’He dares threaten me with the people I care about?’

’Then Yuwen Boxi had better be prepared for his entire family to die a violent death!’

In the Central Plains Region, Evil Cultivators had been suppressed for years, unable to even hold their heads high.

Even the Evil Sects had mostly relocated to remote places like the Southern Border or the Western Regions to develop.

As a result, it had indeed been many years since the Central Plains Region had felt the “little shock” an Evil Cultivator could bring.

If Yuwen Boxi wanted to be the one to stick his neck out, then so be it…

Having silently finalized his plan, Zou Feng turned to the worried Tian Yun.

It was obvious she was worried about the Heart Meeting Martial Arts Hall, which had also been implicated.

It was her home, and it held several disciples she had painstakingly trained, who were like daughters to her.

If this feud wasn’t resolved properly, everyone in the Heart Meeting Martial Arts Hall would naturally meet the same end as the Hongxing Gang—their heads would roll.

“Zou Lang, I have to go back…” Tian Yun was fiercely loyal; she couldn’t just stand by and watch the disciples of the Heart Meeting Martial Arts Hall die horribly.

Zou Feng stepped forward and gently touched her shoulder. “Of course you have to go back, but not right now.”

Tian Yun’s eyes were firm. “I must go back before they’re taken to the execution ground!”

Deep down, Tian Yun already thought Zou Feng was going to choose the rational path of “a gentleman’s revenge is never too late, even after ten years.”

She didn’t blame Zou Feng for being cold-blooded. Besides, making such a choice when the situation was clearly impossible was perfectly understandable.

“Did you know, I originally wanted to set you up with that girl, Sixuan…”

She was already so pessimistic that she was starting to confess things she had never dared to say before.

Zou Feng quickly raised a hand to stop her. “Stop, hold it right there!”

“Sister Yun, don’t say another word. And why do you have that ’we’re totally screwed’ look on your face?”

“I told you to leave it to me. Within ten days, while I can’t guarantee I’ll save everyone, I can promise that Yuwen Boxi will die a miserable death!”

While Zou Feng was comforting Tian Yun, Wang Xingjian stood to the side, completely dumbfounded.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe how these two were acting just like newlyweds!

’Also, does the Miss know about this?’

There was no helping it. Even though Wang Xingjian’s tastes ran toward more unconventional beauties, he had to admit that Tian Yun, as the former top expert of Yuan Guang County Town whose strength and charm were legendary, was the town’s reigning beauty.

It was just that as Tian Yun got older, people gradually stopped calling her that.

And yet, just over a year ago, Zou Feng was merely a servant in the Yang Mansion…

Now, after this long-awaited reunion, Zou Feng had unbelievably reached the Fifth Grade and had also won over Master Tian, who had also advanced to the Fifth Grade.

Wang Xingjian wasn’t jealous, just genuinely and repeatedly struck with amazement.

After comforting Tian Yun, Zou Feng ate something, said his goodbyes to Wang Xingjian and Luo Yong’s family, and departed.

Of course, Tian Yun continued to follow by his side.

The first step of his plan was to assassinate Zhang Yinxiang, which would require Tian Yun’s assistance anyway.

Watching the two of them come and go in such a hurry, Wang Xingjian really wanted to try and persuade them otherwise.

After all, no matter how he analyzed it, he saw no hope of them successfully rescuing their gang brothers this time.

Zou Feng, however, appeared completely self-assured, exuding confidence in his plan.

But Wang Xingjian was still inclined to believe that Zou Feng was just using his actions to placate Tian Yun and prevent her from doing something foolish.

’Still, even if they probably can’t save the brothers this time, given enough time, Yuwen Boxi will definitely come to regret today’s actions…’

***

Although the Cheetah Camp had dispatched a unit to garrison Yuan Guang County Town, Zhang Yinxiang had not gone with them, instead remaining to hold command at the main camp.

Therefore, in theory, trying to enter the military camp to assassinate Zhang Yinxiang was also extremely unwise. It would most likely be a suicide mission.

Unless one reached a High Grade, they couldn’t even dream of taking an enemy general’s head from within a sea of soldiers.

Well-trained elites were not to be trifled with. A combination of Killing Arrays, Magical Artifacts, and especially a sky-blanketing volley of crossbows could wear down and kill even a Martial Dao expert at the Gang Qi Realm.

It should be known that many military weapons, arrowheads, and the like were specially treated to break through Protective Gang Qi.

So, unless one was a High Grade Martial Artist whose Gang Qi had transformed into True Qi, they truly couldn’t just come and go as they pleased within a military encirclement.

However, as a Poison Cultivator, Zou Feng could use various stealthy poisoning methods to throw the entire camp into chaos.

But that was unnecessary. And since Zhang Yinxiang was already on his list, there were plenty of ways to lure him out of the camp…

As night fell, Zou Feng stood on a hillside, gazing at the distant Cheetah Camp, still brightly lit by bonfires.
