My Hidden Strength Was Exposed by the Heavenly Dao Ranking List – Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Killing Cai Jing

Peng Feng was full of murderous intent as he made his way to the Cai Residence.

But he discovered…

Cai Jing was not at the Cai Residence at all; he had escaped!!!

He asked the servants of the Cai Residence, but they didn’t know where Cai Jing had gone either.

This was troublesome.

They didn’t know where Cai Jing had escaped to.

This world was so vast, and the sea of people so immense, how were they to search?

Just then!

Someone came to the door.

This person was Zhao Bing, the Director of the Imperial City Bureau.

The direction Cai Jing had fled, might fool others, but it could never fool Zhao Bing, the head of the Imperial City Bureau, an organization specializing in intelligence and assassinations.

And Zhao Bing had come specifically to offer a favor; to have an opportunity to give a favor to a Land Immortal was so rare.

Peng Feng naturally accepted this favor with pleasure.

After receiving the information, he went to pursue and kill Cai Jing.

◈◈◈

Two days later.

Chajian Ridge.

Legend has it that Zhao Wuling Wang once conducted cavalry training exercises here, involving running horses and archery, hence the name Chajian Ridge （Insert Arrow Ridge）.

Cai Jing was riding his horse, fleeing along the road on Chajian Ridge.

Before this.

He had actually begged Emperor Huizong of Song, but the emperor had no reaction at all, clearly not wanting to protect him.

He had also written to his staunch ally, Tong Guan, but Tong Guan had not replied either, clearly not wanting to protect him either.

Neither Emperor Huizong of Song nor Tong Guan, his ally, wanted to offend a newly ascended Land Immortal like Peng Feng.

Under such circumstances.

After much deliberation, Cai Jing decided that the only way for him to survive was to escape to the Liao Dynasty.

Cai Jing had also made detailed plans for his escape route to the Liao Dynasty.

Now, after passing through Chajian Ridge, and another few hundred miles, he would reach the Liao Dynasty.

Then, he would be free as a bird in the sky, and a fish in the sea.

As for his life after going to the Liao Dynasty.

Cai Jing had plans for that as well.

He understood all kinds of important information about the Song Dynasty, and he also possessed the cultivation of the tenth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Although he might not become a chancellor in the Liao Dynasty, he would definitely be able to become an official at the middle level or above, and then he would be able to enjoy wealth and prosperity again.

And one day, if the Liao Dynasty attacked the Song Dynasty, and the Land Immortals of the Liao Dynasty defeated Peng Feng, he could also enjoy seeing Peng Feng’s miserable state, and stab Peng Feng with a knife.

He had great confidence in the Liao Dynasty, after all, the Liao Dynasty was stronger than the Song Dynasty.

Cai Jing thought bitterly, he didn’t actually want to be a traitor.

It was all Peng Feng’s fault.

Everything was Peng Feng’s fault!!!

Even if he became a traitor, he was a good wom… a good person!!!

Just then!

Another neigh of a horse rang out.

Cai Jing couldn’t help but be startled.

Recently, he had become a nervous wreck.

He couldn’t help but look in the direction of the horse’s neigh.

◈◈◈

There, was a thin horse.

On the thin horse, sat a tall and slender young man in blue robes.

The young man’s eyes had a lazy look, and he carried a saber on his back.

This!

This!

This!

It was Peng Feng!!!

It was true that when you didn’t want to see someone, you would always run into them.

Cai Jing was so startled that he almost fell off his horse.

Peng Feng smiled faintly: “Chancellor Cai, how have you been? You seem very surprised to see me.”

Cai Jing gave a dry laugh: “So it’s Marquis of Chang Le. May I ask what brings the Marquis of Chang Le to find me?”

“I’ve come to kill Chancellor Cai, to avenge you for giving my information about leaving the capital to the Western Xia Dynasty. You wanted to take my life, and I want to take yours, it’s very fair, isn’t it?” Peng Feng raised his eyebrows.

Cai Jing also knew that his escape proved his guilt, and it was useless to try to argue at this point.

He turned and fled, immediately pushing his body technique to its limit.

However, Peng Feng was even faster than him.

The next moment.

Peng Feng had already caught up behind Cai Jing.

With a flick of his hand, he had already grabbed the back of Cai Jing’s collar.

Cai Jing quickly cried out: “I am the chancellor, the head of all the officials of the Great Song, my rank is higher than yours as the Marquis of Chang Le, you can’t kill a chancellor without authorization. What you are doing is disrespectful to imperial power, disrespectful to the imperial court. I have rendered meritorious service to the Great Song, I have shed blood for the Great Song, my crimes should be punished by His Majesty, not by your personal judgment…”

The next moment!

Peng Feng’s large hand slammed down.

Over a million pounds of force directly crushed down.

Directly turning Cai Jing’s entire body into a pulp of flesh.

Peng Feng turned his head directly.

A real man never looks back at an explosion.

“Too much nonsense.”

◈◈◈

After Peng Feng killed Cai Jing.

He returned to the capital.

He gave the Azure Frost Sword, one of the thirty-six famous swords from the Western Xia treasury, to his wife, Li Qingzhao, as a gift.

Then, he refused all invitations and began to focus on his cultivation.

Now, the time of the Jingkang Incident was getting closer and closer, and he had no time to play around.

Moreover, there were just too many martial arts to train.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill was only at the twelfth level, and had not yet reached the thirteenth level, he had to train it. If he truly reached the thirteenth level, he should be able to defeat a Land Immortal of the tenth level!!!

Also, he had previously felt that the Shaolin’s Indestructible Diamond Divine Skill, and the Western Xia’s Undying Golden Body Skill, these two defensive techniques, could be merged, and if the fusion was successful, it would likely be a Nation-Protecting Level Skill.

In addition, he had previously felt that the Bai Family Divine Saber Technique and the Western Xia’s Extreme Speed Divine Saber Slash, these two extreme speed saber techniques could be merged, and that also needed to be done.

There was also the Zhurong Fragmented Skill, this technique was also an incomplete technique, if it could be completed, it might also be a Nation-Protecting Level Skill.

So, let’s focus on training.

（Today, I saw in the book review section that some people were asking, since the protagonist is already so strong, how will the story continue? Let me explain to everyone, this book does have an outline.

Now, it is about writing about the Northern Song Dynasty against the Liao Dynasty, then against the Jin, and then against the Mongols. After the Mongols, there will be the Ming Dynasty, then the fight against the Manchus, and then the Republic of China. I will just write it down in chronological order, all the way to the modern era.

A full thousand years of history, that is enough to write about.）
