#97 - Chapter 97 Reason

Just as the fist was about to hit Nie Yuan, a figure suddenly darted out from the side, blocking Cheng Feng's attack. It was Aunt Lan! Although she was injured, she still tried her best to buy Nie Yuan a chance of survival.

Cheng Feng looked at the suddenly appearing Aunt Lan and said angrily, "Why are you stopping me? If he runs away, who can stop him? If he gets a chance to retaliate in the future, who can stop him?"

Aunt Lan needed to interrogate Nie Yuan to get what she needed, so Nie Yuan couldn't die yet.

But with Cheng Feng here, Aunt Lan couldn't directly ask, so she could only stalemate.

Cheng Feng didn't understand, and didn't want to understand. Aunt Lan had tricked him in the first place, and now the opportunity was lost, never to return. Nie Yuan's death was the greatest benefit to Cheng Feng.

Looking at the eight hundred ready to go in the distance, and at the relentless look in Cheng Feng's eyes,

Aunt Lan took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calm: "Cheng Feng, you misunderstood. I'm not trying to protect Nie Yuan, I just need to get some information from him. This information is crucial to my sect and cannot be lost."

Cheng Feng frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Aunt Lan's explanation: "Why didn't you tell me directly before? It's not too late now, and I can even interrogate him for you now!"

Aunt Lan shook her head: "This matter is of great importance, and I must ask clearly myself. Moreover, I believe Nie Yuan will give me a satisfactory answer."

Cheng Feng looked at Aunt Lan's firm eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little shaken. He knew that Aunt Lan always acted cautiously and wouldn't do things without a purpose. However, he was really unwilling to let Nie Yuan leave like this.

The two of them were deadlocked like this, and the atmosphere became extremely tense. Nie Yuan stood aside, looking at the two people in front of him, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Nie Yuan was very clear about Aunt Lan's reasons. As for Cheng Feng's sudden appearance, Nie Yuan really didn't know how much hatred he had with Cheng Feng?

Nie Yuan clutched his chest tightly, blood constantly flowing from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief, and weakly questioned: "Young man, I have never met you before, what deep hatred do you have with me? Is it worth you trying so hard to put me to death?"

Cheng Feng was young, but his attacks were ruthless and experienced, obviously not an ordinary person. Nie Yuan thought to himself, he couldn't remember when or where he had offended such a person, and he didn't know where the other party came from.

Facing Nie Yuan's question, Cheng Feng just responded indifferently: "More than half a month ago, you used the Soul Shocking Technique on me." His words revealed a hint of indifference and determination.

Nie Yuan was shocked, staring at Cheng Feng with wide eyes, and suddenly realized: "So you are the young master from that night! But at that time, you were clearly only at the Skin Refining Realm..."

A mocking smile appeared on Cheng Feng's face, and he chuckled and said, "If I needed to use the Blood Refining Realm to deal with your incompetent son, then wouldn't I have wasted my years of martial arts training?"

Hearing this, Nie Yuan felt a surge of palpitations in his heart. He was full of regret, he should have increased the dosage of the medicine at the beginning, perhaps he could have avoided this disaster today. However, it was too late to say anything now, and everything was irreversible......

Although that was the case, he didn't actually carry much medicine powder with him at the time, especially the key ingredient needed for Soul Shocking—Soul Trapping Grass—which was in very short supply. However, just a little bit of medicine was enough to easily kill a martial artist at the peak of the Skin Refining Realm. After all, Cheng Feng's tender appearance was too deceptive!

Nie Hu was about to enter his thirties, but he was still stuck at the peak of the Skin Refining Realm, unable to break through the bottleneck no matter what. Cheng Feng, on the other hand, looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, and had already successfully entered the Blood Refining Realm. Who could he complain to about this? Since Cheng Feng entered the Blood Refining Realm, he had kept the news of his strength extremely secret. In the martial arts gym, only Wang Tieshan and the inner disciples knew about this.

The others were either busy with their own affairs, or because Cheng Feng usually lived in seclusion, so the news was not leaked. Recalling the scene at that time, Cheng Feng couldn't help but feel a burst of fear. But fortunately, with his strong strength, he was able to turn danger into safety in the end. This feeling was really exhilarating!

Not afraid of these crooked ways

After answering Nie Yuan's question, Cheng Feng unhesitatingly ordered Eight Hundred to bring ropes and quickly and skillfully tied Nie Yuan tightly. Every knot was tied tightly, as if to trap Nie Yuan forever.

Then, Cheng Feng cruelly crippled Nie Yuan's hands and feet, completely depriving him of his ability to resist.

After doing all this, Cheng Feng turned to look at Aunt Lan and said coldly, "Now you can ask, but don't forget, I also have some questions that need answers. So, will you ask first, or will I start?"

His eyes were full of provocation and threat, as if to tell Aunt Lan that no matter who spoke first, they had to give him a satisfactory answer.

There was no direct conflict between Cheng Feng and Aunt Lan, but Cheng Feng could only admit that he was inferior in skill for being tricked by Aunt Lan.

Later, killing Nie Hu was also to beat the grass and scare the snake.

To lure out this old bastard Nie Yuan

But now that Nie Yuan had been captured, he would naturally be more cautious. Lest they had some inside information that Cheng Feng didn't know, and letting Nie Yuan go would be terrible.

Cheng Feng asked himself that except for Aunt Lan betraying him, basically no one else would associate this matter with him.

Now that Nie Yuan had been captured, Cheng Feng was also very interested in the methods of the Fangshi.

Aunt Lan looked at Cheng Feng's eyes,

The kind of crazy yet indifferent eyes made Aunt Lan, a Blood Refining Realm martial artist who was stronger than Cheng Feng, feel a little afraid.

"I'll ask first. After I'm done asking, you can dispose of Nie Yuan as you wish." Aunt Lan knew Cheng Feng's bottom line, and naturally wouldn't blindly add fuel to the fire at this juncture.

Cheng Feng looked ahead with cold eyes and ordered Eight Hundred: "Eight Hundred, continue to draw your bow and nock your arrow! Stay alert and be ready to deal with any unexpected situations that may occur!"

The arrow aimed at Aunt Lan below, and she couldn't help but feel a chill coming over her, and her body trembled slightly. Although she was a little scared in her heart, she knew clearly that even if she couldn't defeat the enemy, she still had the ability to escape.

Aunt Lan tried her best to restrain the unease in her heart, pretended to be calm, walked up to Nie Yuan, glared at him, and questioned fiercely: "I won't mention the matter between you and my master for now. But where is the reward you promised me for coming to help you?" Her voice carried a hint of anger and determination.

Nie Yuan responded with a loud laugh: "Reward? What reward? My son is already dead, what else do I have to miss? How could there be a reward for you? It's just death. I've been wandering the Jianghu for half my life, and now I'm old and have nothing to rely on. I have no attachment to this world."

Aunt Lan had originally tried to persuade Nie Yuan with threats and inducements, but when she saw Cheng Feng's menacing look, as if he was ready to put her to death at any time, Nie Yuan knew very well that he was afraid that he would not survive tonight. In an instant, Nie Yuan made up his mind, bit off his tongue without hesitation, and died on the spot.

Cheng Feng witnessed this scene and was unable to stop it, and a look of regret appeared on his face.

This was the first time he had come into contact with the Fangshi group, and it ended like this.
