Lady Weide
As time went by, Holmes grew a little impatient. ✋👌 🐟🎉
"Lady Weide, if they're not coming, I'll go directly to them," Huolmo said bluntly. "Send me a few men; at least make sure they recognize the brother and sister."
Lady Weide agreed with the idea, "Very well, then I'll trouble you to make the trip again, sir."
"This time, I'll make them taste my power," Huolmo said in a low voice, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
They bought a carriage in Hongsha City. The old servant Lambert drove the carriage, while Jenny and Keane stayed inside. As for Lin Feng, he rode the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard "Haeru".
Haeru was a good two meters tall, with a wide body and very soft fur.
Lin Feng felt no vibration riding the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard at all; it was much more comfortable than riding a horse or carriage. Moreover, the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard could probably run on flat ground as if it were running on a mountain.
"Brother Feng, what time is it?" Keane poked his head out of the carriage and asked.
Lin Feng turned and glanced at him. "Don't rush, it's only five o'clock now. We should arrive in Chier Prefecture City by six." The Black-Striped Cloud Leopard Lin Feng was sitting on was indeed quite frightening.
Other pedestrians along the way quickly moved aside to make way for Lin Feng and his group.
"Giddy up, giddy up!"
At this moment, a convoy also appeared from behind the hunchbacked old man.
"Get out of the way, you old man!" a knight shouted, and the hunchbacked old man immediately pulled on the reins, and the horse moved toward the side of the road.
Ouch.
When the horse was about ten meters away from Lin Feng and his group, the hunchbacked old man suddenly swayed and fell off the horse.
"The old man fell down." Keane, who saw this through the window, immediately pulled back the car door curtain.
But as the hunchbacked old man fell off his horse, a pale blue aura emanated from him. This pale blue aura was so faint that it was almost imperceptible without careful observation.
Of course, this "difficult to detect" refers to ordinary people; experts like Lin Feng are clearly not included in this category.
In fact, Lin Feng had noticed Holmes long ago and was naturally prepared.
With a casual wave of his hand, Lin Feng used his wind magic to control the wind, immediately redirecting the surrounding airflow in the opposite direction. The poisonous gas was then blown eastward again. In the blink of an eye, the convoy sandwiched between Lin Feng's group and the hunchbacked old man "Huolmo's " group was wiped out.
"Giddy up, giddy up!" Huolmo was now agile, flipping himself onto his horse and galloping eastward at top speed.
"Haeru," Lin Feng.
"Swoosh"
The speed of the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard is terrifying, far exceeding that of an ordinary horse.
In the blink of an eye, it covered hundreds of meters and ended up ahead of Huolmo, leaving only a trail of afterimages in its wake.
Huolmo saw Lin Feng suddenly appear in front of him, he panicked.
"Brother, I'm being paid. Just let me go, and you can name your price in gold coins." Although Huolmo was over three hundred years old, he still didn't want to die.
What a joke! Lin Feng robbed King Fenlai of all his possessions, billions of gold coins. Why would he care about the money given to him by little Holmes? Besides, Lin Feng isn't a greedy person.
Lin Feng couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to this person.
"Haeru, take care of him."
Lin Feng jumped down and turned to walk towards the carriage. As for the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard, it bared its fangs and then pounced on Huolmo.
Before Holmes could speak, the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard tore him to shreds with a single claw.
A desolate wilderness.
Dozens of people in the convoy lay dead on the ground, their black blood adding to the eerie atmosphere. Huolmo, in particular, was torn to pieces by Haeru. Jenny and Keane, the siblings who witnessed this scene, were truly shocked.
"Brother Feng!" Keane exclaimed, and Jenny's face also turned pale.
Lin Feng was about to speak when the old servant Lambert in the carriage stared in shock at the dead Huolmo: "It's him, Huolmo, the most dangerous assassin in Chier Prefecture City, that old monster who calls himself the apothecary."
"Huolmo? Grandpa Lambert, who are you talking about?" Keane looked at Lambert.
Lambert took a deep breath and explained, "Young Master, Miss, Huolmo is a very dangerous figure in Chier Prefecture City. I met him when your mother and I were in Chier Prefecture City. Count Weide even talked to your mother about Huolmo back then. Huolmo is an old monster Huolmo is very skilled in using poison. Although he is only a level six warrior, he once killed a level nine expert."
Jenny and Keane understood.
Lin Feng remained silent, listening quietly from the side.
"This Huolmo values money very much. His actions this time must have been at the behest of the First Madam," Lambert said solemnly. "This time, the First Madam is truly determined to kill you all."
"With Brother Feng here, what's there to be afraid of!" Keane said confidently, and Jenny looked at Lin Feng with the same confidence.
"Alright, let's set off immediately and get to Chier Prefecture City as soon as possible," Lin Feng said directly. Immediately, Lin Feng and the others sped towards Chier Prefecture City, leaving a trail of dust on the desolate road.
Chier Prefecture City is a city with a population of two to three hundred thousand. Its dark red city walls stretch into the distance, but in terms of construction, Chier Prefecture City tends to be magnificent.
Keane lifted the carriage curtain, gazing at the magnificent city before him, his heart brimming with ambition, his eyes shining brightly. "From this day forward, I will be the master of this county."
At the city gate.
"Black Panther?" The city gate guard's eyes widened at the sight of Lin Feng's mount from afar, and he immediately ordered the guard beside him, "Go quickly and inform the city lord's wife that the person she spoke of has arrived."
"Yes."
The guard immediately ran towards the hotel closest to the city gate and rushed to the second floor. At that moment, there were soldiers guarding the stairwell on the second floor. The soldiers saw that the person was a city gate guard and let him pass.
"Earl." The guard knelt respectfully on one knee from a distance.
Lady Weide, who was sitting quietly in the chair, turned to look at him. "What is it?"
"Earl, the powerful figure you mentioned riding the black leopard has appeared, and behind him is a carriage."
"What?" Lady Weide hadn't reacted yet, but her two brothers exclaimed in surprise.
Lady Weide frowned. "You may leave now."
"Yes." The guard respectfully withdrew.
At this moment, Lady Weide's two brothers panicked. Her eldest brother hurriedly said, "Sister, they actually made it to Chier Prefecture City alive! Could it be that that old Huolmo failed?"
"It's hard to say."
Lady Weide frowned. "Perhaps those country siblings and that black panther expert didn't come from Hongsha City to this main road. They might have deliberately taken a detour, causing Huolmo and the others to miss their target."
Her two older brothers nodded in agreement.
"So, what do we do now?" The two brothers looked at Lady Weide.
"Go down and greet them." Lady Weide smiled. "My two poor children have suffered so much over the years. They've finally returned. How could I, their aunt, not greet them?"
With that, Lady Weide went downstairs.
As soon as Lady Weide stepped out of the hotel, she saw the imposing man riding a handsome black panther and carrying a heavy sword, and she also saw the familiar Lambert.
"Oh, Lambert, it's been a long time!" Lady Weide exclaimed immediately.
Lin Feng, Jenny, Keane, and Lambert all turned to look. Lambert was taken aback, then respectfully said, "Greetings, Madam."
Lady Weide smiled kindly, "These two children must be Jenny and Keane. Jenny is even more beautiful than before, and she looks more like her mother now. Keane isn't a little boy anymore either; he's become much more handsome."
Jenny and Keane still recognized Lady Weide.
Although nearly eight years have passed, Lady Weide's appearance has not changed much, except for a few more crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
"Greetings, madam." Jenny and Keane both bowed.
"Alright, alright. No need to be so formal," Lady Weide said with a smile, then looked at Lin Feng, "And who is this gentleman?"
"That's Brother Lin Feng," Keane answered first.
Although Jenny and Keane knew Lin Feng's name, they preferred to call him "Brother Feng" because it made them feel closer to him.
"Lin Feng?" Lady Weide lifted her eyelids and smiled. "Oh, it's Mr. Lin Feng. I suppose it was Mr. Feng who escorted them all the way to Chier Prefecture City. I will certainly thank you properly on behalf of Jenny and her brother. Come, everyone, let's go back to the castle first. Tonight, I'm going to throw a grand feast for my two poor children."
"Lin Feng? Could he be that genius mage and stone carving master from the Holy Union? Probably not. Judging from his warrior attire, he must be a powerful warrior." Lady Weide's suspicions flashed through her mind when she heard Keane's introduction of Lin Feng.
In fact, Lin Feng's name had long been known throughout the entire Yulan as the second most talented magician and the youngest master stone carver in Yulan Calendar. As the de facto ruler of Chier Prefecture City, Lady Weide had naturally heard of him as well.
The lord's castle was square in shape and heavily guarded.
"What a useless old man." After scolding the messenger knight away, Lady Weide was even angrier.
Huolmo was a key player that Lady Weide valued highly.
But now that Huolmo has failed, Lady Weide feels a sense of unease.
"With Lin Feng around, it'll be very difficult for me to kill Keane," Lady Weide, quite distressed. "Using poison, even a skilled poisoner can't evade detection. And hiring an assassin, how many of them can handle Lin Feng?"
Lady Weide's eyes gradually sharpened.
"It seems that's the only way." Lady Weide's worries vanished, replaced by confidence and ruthlessness.
