Hogg's Shock! Departure!

Fenlai City.

A dark alley.

"Th-This..."

Hogg stared at the guards, whose bodies had been mangled beyond recognition.

He froze, unable to understand what had happened.

He had already prepared to risk his life!

Yet in the blink of an eye!

All those guards had been killed!

"Uncle Hogg!"

"Are you all right?"

Just then.

A young man's voice rang out beside Hogg.

In an instant!

Hogg spun around and looked toward the source of the voice!

He saw a young man in warrior's attire watching him from not far away!

"You..."

A trace of confusion flashed through Hogg's eyes.

The young man before him felt somewhat familiar!

Yet for the moment, he could not recall who he was!

Fortunately!

The other party had called him uncle!

That meant he had come to help him!

Hogg finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Hogg!"

"It's me, Chen Feng!"

"What, don't you remember me?"

Noticing Hogg's confusion.

Chen Feng smiled and answered softly.

At the end of Yulan Calendar 9991!

When he left Wushan Town, he had not yet turned twelve!

Back then, Chen Feng had only been about 1.5 meters tall, and his face had still been full of childishness!

Now, it was already the beginning of Yulan Calendar 9999!

Nineteen-year-old Chen Feng was nearly 1.9 meters tall and had become far more mature!

Moreover, he and Hogg had never been particularly close!

It was not strange that Hogg did not recognize Chen Feng!

"Chen Feng?"

"You're Chen Feng?"

Upon hearing Chen Feng's answer.

A look of surprise appeared on Hogg's face.

Indeed!

He had not interacted much with Chen Feng!

But Hogg still had a deep impression of him!

There was no helping it!

Chen Feng had simply been too famous in Wushan Town!

After cultivating for three years, he had only managed to break through to become a Rank-One Warrior!

But after becoming a Rank-One Warrior, Chen Feng had seemed as though he had been blessed by fate!

In just another three years!

Chen Feng had gone from a Rank-One Warrior to a Level-Four Warrior before finally leaving Wushan Town!

Under such circumstances!

It would have been hard for Hogg not to remember Chen Feng!

And now!

Chen Feng had only swung his sword once!

Yet a group of Level-Six and Level-Seven Warriors had been slain by him!

This left Hogg utterly shocked!

Had the child from his memories already grown into a true powerhouse?

"Uncle Hogg!"

"Who are these people?"

"Why were they hunting you down?"

Seeing the stunned Hogg.

Chen Feng spoke again, pretending to ask in confusion.

As a transmigrator!

Chen Feng naturally knew why these people had been pursuing Hogg!

But he did not expose it directly!

After all!

This was Hogg's family matter!

If Hogg did not wish to say more!

Chen Feng could not force him to explain anything!

"Cough..."

As Chen Feng's words fell.

Hogg came back to his senses and coughed painfully.

Then.

Hogg stepped forward and grabbed Chen Feng's arm!

"Chen Feng!"

"Let's leave quickly!"

"This is no place to linger!"

Just as Chen Feng had expected!

Hogg did not want to discuss his personal affairs any further!

Now that these guards had been dealt with!

He could only leave as quickly as possible and avoid causing more trouble!

Don't misunderstand!

It was not that he feared death!

He simply did not want Chen Feng to be implicated because of his own affairs!

"Uncle Hogg!"

"You don't need to worry!"

"The strongest person in all of Fenlai City is only a Ninth-level Warrior!"

"If he dares to cause trouble, I'll cut him down with one stroke!"

With Hogg gripping his arm.

The smile on Chen Feng's face did not fade as he spoke calmly.

Hogg had shown Chen Feng kindness!

Chen Feng truly did not mind helping Hogg kill Clayde!

The king of Fenlai City?

In the Coiling Dragon World, the strong were respected!

Before Chen Feng!

King Clayde was nothing more than an ant!

As for the Radiant Church behind Clayde?

The Radiant Church of the Yulan Continent did not possess any true God-level experts!

If they wished to stand up for Clayde!

Chen Feng would not mind having some fun with them!

"W-What?"

Hearing Chen Feng's words.

Hogg halted and looked at Chen Feng in disbelief!

A Ninth-level Warrior?

Hogg knew that much!

Because that Ninth-level Warrior was his enemy, Clayde!

But what had Chen Feng said?

Cut him down with one stroke!

Did that not mean Chen Feng possessed at least Ninth-level strength?

What had this child experienced after leaving Wushan Town to become so powerful?

"Forget it!"

"We should still leave!"

After struggling with the matter for a moment.

Hogg shook his head and spoke helplessly.

His feelings were complicated at that moment!

He truly wanted to ask Chen Feng to help him kill Clayde!

But his grudge with Clayde had nothing to do with Chen Feng!

Besides!

Rather than borrowing another's hand to take revenge!

He would rather avenge himself personally!

What?

He could not defeat Clayde?

So what?

He had two sons he could be proud of!

As long as Linley and Wharton were given some time!

They would certainly grow into true powerhouses!

When that time came!

Would avenging his wife still be difficult?

With that thought in mind!

Hogg took the lead and headed toward the city gates!

"Ah..."

Watching Hogg's departing back.

Chen Feng shook his head and did not try to persuade him further.

He knew Hogg's past!

But Hogg was unwilling to say more and did not need his help!

Under such circumstances!

Chen Feng had no reason to meddle in his affairs!

The royal palace.

The next day.

"What did you say?"

"The assassin escaped?"

Upon hearing the report from his guards.

A look of anger appeared on Clayde's face.

Hogg had concealed his appearance!

Clayde did not know who had attempted to assassinate him!

Nor was he interested in knowing who the assassin was!

Because the assassin was weak, merely a Level-Six Warrior!

Even without guards protecting him!

Clayde was absolutely confident that he could easily kill the man in return!

It was precisely because of this!

After seeing a group of Level-Six and Level-Seven guards chase after him!

Clayde had not paid the matter any further attention!

However!

What had he just heard?

The assassin had killed his guards and escaped?

How was that possible?

How could a Level-Six Warrior kill a group of Level-Six and Level-Seven Warriors?

"Your Majesty!"

"Based on the situation at the scene!"

"All our comrades were killed in a single strike!"

"The murderer was at least an Eighth-level Warrior!"

"Either the assassin had hidden his strength!"

"Or the assassin had accomplices who killed those comrades!"

"..."

Faced with Clayde's questioning,

the guard knelt on one knee and answered with lingering fear.

Early this morning!

The city's residents had discovered the corpses of more than a dozen guards!

As one of Clayde's guards!

he naturally knew that an assassin had attempted to kill Clayde yesterday!

Originally!

he had wanted to pursue the assassin as well!

After all, capturing the assassin would have been a tremendous achievement and earned him many rewards!

It was just that!

his reaction had been a little too slow!

At this moment!

he felt somewhat fortunate.

Thankfully, he had reacted slowly!

Otherwise,

he probably would have died in last night's battle as well!
