TFHS: Chapter 133

The master they feared the most was gone. Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo could finally act.

They weren’t really stupid and bold. Before taking action, they took out the jade pendant given by Dean Pei and wore it on their chests. If the master in the essence dan realm really came back, discovered them and launched an attack, the jade pendant could be used to save their lives.

If such a situation really happened, it wouldn’t be them who would die, but the essence dan realm master.

It was because he was at the early stage of the essence dan realm, while Dean Pei sealed an attack from the late stage of the essence dan realm.

The yuan crystals were placed in a special warehouse and a special token was required to enter the warehouse due to a protective formation. However, the formation meant it was ineffective against Bai Qiaomo.

After studying the fifth-grade formations in the relic mansion, Bai Qiaomo’s formation level had improved. The formations here were much less than those in the relic mansion.

Before those cultivators came back from solving the problem, Bai Qiaomo had already opened a hole in the formation and brought Feng Ming in.

The moment they entered, Feng Ming was so surprised that he almost shouted to express his excitement. Since the warehouse was full of yuan crystals, Feng Ming touched this and that and wanted to shout.

Bai Qiaomo looked at the row of boxes next to him and opened one of them. Rich vital energy rushed out, and Bai Qiaomo smiled.

“Junior Brother Ming, come and look here.”

Feng Ming ran over. “What are you looking at?”

“There are middle-grade yuan crystals in this box.”

Feng Ming suddenly made a gasping sound. Oh my god, the grade of the ore veins here was really good. There were even middle-grade yuan crystals available. The number seemed to be quite a lot.

“What are in these dozen boxes?”

Feng Ming ran to open the remaining boxes. They were all mid-grade. Oh my god, just these dozen boxes of medium-grade yuan crystals made them rich.

“Quickly, put them away quickly. Brother Bai, please move it quickly in case someone comes in.”

“Okay,” Bai Qiaomo agreed with a smile.

The two of them got busy and collected all the yuan crystals in the warehouse in the blink of an eye. Then they joined forces to leave the warehouse. The cultivators who left to solve the problem hadn’t come back yet. This showed how strong the medicine that Feng Ming had given them was.

The essence dan realm became more and more suspicious when solving his own problem. He was worried in his heart, fearing that someone would know about the mineral vein and eye the warehouse he was guarding. Therefore, he got up and went back to check.

However, the medicine given by Feng Ming wasn’t ordinary medicine. It was specifically targeted at cultivators. Feng Ming learned this from He Shu. Feng Ming didn’t know where He Shu got this remedy, but it was a powerful laxative targeting cultivators.

Feng Ming thought that it wouldn’t be useful after getting this. Who would’ve thought that it would come in handy and the effect would be so good?

The stench in the room could be smelled. Feng Ming smirked and pulled Bai Qiaomo to run away.

After running far away, Feng Ming laughed heartily. If the scene wasn’t so ugly, he would’ve really wanted to take a photo with a photo stone.

The two of them drove all night. Once they arrived, Bai Qiaomo suddenly stopped, bent down, and listened with his ears. Feng Ming followed suit. Then the two of them stood up and looked at each other.

“Are they coming?”

Bai Qiaomo nodded. “It should be. If the prediction is correct, it should be the imperial family’s Silver Armor Army.”

Bai Qiaomo walked in the opposite direction of the tremor coming from the ground while explaining the armed forces in the hands of the imperial family to Feng Ming.

The Dongmu imperial family had three major armed forces. Among them, the Iron Armor Army was known to almost everyone. It was the largest and most widely distributed.

Some of the city guards in many cities also belonged to this armored army, which had attracted many cultivators to join in.

“Above the Iron Armor Army is the Silver Armor Army. The Silver Armor is responsible for supervising the world. Some of the Silver Armor Army members will be stationed in the most dangerous areas to prevent the beast wave. Once private mining of yuan crystal veins occurs, the Silver Armor Army is usually dispatched. The Silver Armor’s prestige and reputation are higher than that of the Iron Armor Army. Only the outstanding ones in the Iron Armor Army are qualified to join the Silver Armor Army.”

Feng Ming felt strange when he heard this. “Iron armor and silver armor. Is the army above them called the Golden Armor Army?”

Bai Qiaomo nodded. “Yes, there is a mysterious Golden Armor Army above the Silver Armor. The Golden Armor Army only receives orders from the emperor. Some of them are on the surface, and some are hidden in the darkness among people they know. The Golden Armor Army has the smallest number of people, but it is also the strongest army. Ordinary people might not know it, but the noble families are very afraid of this Golden Armor Army.”

Feng Ming understood. “The Golden Armor Army is the trump card in the emperor’s hand, right?”

“Yes, I have been in contact with a leader in the Golden Armor Army before. His strength is in the soul opening realm, so Junior Brother Ming must not underestimate the imperial family’s power.”

Feng Ming made a gasping sound. He thought that the imperial family must have more than just the Golden Armor Army. It showed that the emperor’s power was really strong, or the family wouldn’t have been on the throne for thousands of years.

Bai Qiaomo had dealt with the imperial family in his previous life, but he didn’t dare to say that he knew everything about the Dongmu imperial family.

Of course, it was enough to deal with the prince born to the noble concubine of the Wu family, but now the Wu family was in trouble.

The two of them weren’t in a hurry now and walked in a leisurely manner. Their strength meant they weren’t afraid of wild beast attacks at night. So when they rushed back to Guanglin City, it was almost 10 o’clock in the morning. They arrived at the city gate and felt something wrong with the atmosphere.

After walking a bit further, they found that the guard guarding the city gate was no longer the original person, but a cultivator wearing black armor.

Feng Ming blinked and asked Bai Qiaomo in a low voice, “This is the Iron Armor Army, right?”

Bai Qiaomo nodded. “It seems that something has happened to the Wu family. The Iron Armor Army members were transferred from nearby to take over the city.”

The people who wanted to enter the city were very panicked. Their lives were hard enough, and the taxes they paid every year were very heavy. They needed to work all year round to be able to pay the taxes and support their families. They were afraid that another group of people would come to oppress them.

As a result, many people gathered at the city gate. They were afraid to enter the city but wanted to understand the situation.

At this time, an armored guard came out and told the people loudly, “The imperial court has discovered that the Wu family secretly hid a yuan crystal mineral vein and dug it on their own without reporting it to the imperial court. This is a taboo of the imperial court. The imperial court has sent officials to investigate this matter. From today on, we will start an all-round investigation of the Wu family. The Iron Armor Army will take over the affairs of Guanglin City and will make arrangements after they find out.”

Since the previous city lord was from the Wu family, the city lord was also investigated.

There was an uproar at the city gate once everyone understood. The court was actually going to investigate the Wu family. The Wu family had committed a major crime, and everyone was talking about it.

They usually didn’t dare to talk about the Wu family’s affairs, but now the Wu family had committed a fatal crime. Were they still not allowed to say a few words?

The common people all knew that the imperial court didn’t allow local governments to excavate yuan crystal mines privately, and would strictly investigate once discovered.

“Doesn’t the Wu family have a prince in Imperial City? How come they don’t even understand this rule?”

“Hey, you don’t understand. The Wu family clearly knows this and took advantage of their power. They thought they could live in peace with the prince and noble concubine protecting them. They didn’t expect to be investigated.”

“Did you hear that the Wu family found people to dig the yuan crystal mine?”

“I don’t know about this, but I heard that people have disappeared in our area in recent years. My uncle’s family… At my eldest nephew’s house, the entire village disappeared. Someone from above went to investigate and said that wild beasts attacked the village and everyone in the village was killed. Maybe there is another reason for this, and the people in the village were captured by the Wu family to mine.”

“Something happened to the Wu family not long after Young Master Wu got married. Will the new bride regret marrying into the Wu family?”

“I heard that the new bride has a great background. Why did she marry a useless person?”

Before this, they knew that Wu Yingyan had become a useless person, but who would dare to call him that? Now that someone had come to arrest them, they could finally comment on the Wu family’s affairs.

Seeing that the armored army really didn’t arrest people randomly, the people gathered outside dared to enter the city.

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo followed in line and were strictly investigated before being allowed to go through.

They entered the city and didn’t go back to the inn. Instead, they followed the crowd to the Wu house to watch the fun.

Some of the people who went to the Wu family were just to watch the fun. Some had a grudge against the Wu family and wanted to see with their own eyes how the Wu family was blocked.

In any case, there was no need to search and inquire on their own. They just had to follow the flow of people and would definitely reach the building complex where the Wu family was located.

The Wu family’s mansion covered a very large area. However, when Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo arrived, they saw that the entire mansion was surrounded by armored troops, and the cries of children could be heard.

Just outside the door of the Wu Mansion, Feng Ming saw figures wearing silver armor. Apparently, the Silver Armor Army was involved.

“Look over there and there.” Bai Qiaomo pointed to two places, one on the left and one on the right.

Feng Ming looked in those directions and saw cultivators wearing silver armor standing on the far left and right of the mansion. After careful identification, the auras released by the two men weren’t weak.

Bai Qiaomo took a look and said, “These two should be the essence dan realm masters in the Silver Armor Army. They aren’t ordinary essence dan realm cultivators. They must be at the peak of the late stage of the essence dan realm to scare the Wu family.”

A family like the Wu family not only cultivated their own masters, but also recruited some masters in the essence dan realm. The imperial court sent people to seal off the Wu family, and they must also prevent the Wu family from resisting. Therefore, they sent their own masters.

Feng Ming expressed gloating and pulled Bai Qiaomo in the opposite direction. “Let’s go find a restaurant to sit down and eat while slowly waiting for the results of the Wu family’s investigation.”

“Okay.” Bai Qiaomo felt there was nothing wrong with this.

There was a silver armored guard on the wall who glanced at Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming. Since he saw two grown men holding hands, who were sticky in an unsightly manner, so he just looked at them in disgust and turned away. He coldly watched the crying situation inside the Wu family.

The Wu family had been prosperous for a while, but they didn’t expect to end up like this. There was such a rich mine that the Wu family definitely wouldn’t be able to escape the crime. There would be no chance of it happening again in the future.

He didn’t sympathize with the Wu family at all. He knew that other princes had contributed to the Wu family’s troubles, but it was the Wu family themselves who gave them the information that could be used against them.

If it was any other trivial matter, His Majesty might be able to let them go for the sake of the noble concubine of the Wu family. However, the matter of the yuan crystal mine was of vital importance. The Wu family had violated a taboo. Both the prince and the noble concubine couldn’t protect them.

The Iron Armor Army that took over Guanglin City didn’t block the news from the outside world, including the discovered rich mine secretly hidden by the Wu family. So the news here quickly spread in all directions, making everyone dumbfounded.

In particular, many people thought that the Feng family of Gaoyang County had just married a daughter into the Wu family. The result was good, and something happened to the Wu family.

Was it the Wu family who caused trouble for the Feng family’s daughter, or was it the Feng family’s daughter who was evil and caused bad luck to the Wu family as soon as she entered the family?
