Fei Chen's Sword Journey
PPFC 262 - The Ergou
PPFC 262 - The Ergou
What befell the Elder of the Peach Flower Lantern made Fei Chen worry about the condition of all of them. Fei Chen himself listened to Xiu Ziwei's explanation and did not want to involve Qiao Mi who was now pregnant with her child.
“This problem I can solve quickly. The Yang Empire? If not mistaken Master and Senior Zhui are also heading there.”
Xiu Ziwei frowned thinking the internal matter of the Peach Flower Lantern would interfere with Fei Chen's journey, but it was quite the opposite.
‘Wait a minute... Matriarch Qiao once told him about the Nine Lightning Sword and he intended to be in charge.’ Suddenly Xiu Ziwei gulped and stared elaborately at Fei Chen.
“What's Senior Xiu?” ask Fei Chen.
“No... There's nothing. I will greet Matriarch Qiao first..” After replying, Xiu Ziwei ran towards where Qiao Mi was.
Fei Chen smiled faintly at Xiu Ziwei's behavior before he finally went to see Shu En. Fei Chen told Shu Zhui's condition to Shu En before moving his intention to head for the Yang Empire.
Fei Chen's sudden departure was unknown to anyone, Fei Chen himself wanted to confirm with his own eyes the condition of the Yang Empire.
In addition, he had already found out the background of Liang Cheng's daughter without the knowledge of the old man. The information he got from Ling Ye made Fei Chen want to help Liang Cheng let go of the biggest regret of his life.

An ancient ruin in the Yang Empire had been hidden by Emperor Yang for decades, but ever since Emperor Yang Ergou took over the throne, everything changed.
The ancient ruins, known as the Demon Goddess Ruins, are a sacred place for Emperor Yang Ergou to perform night rituals with his concubines.
Thanks to the help of one of the Five Fingers of the Devil who was the strongest subordinate of Mao Gang, Emperor Yang Ergou believed that having intercourse with a holy woman would give him a lot of strength.
Just like the Great Demon Lords who gained power from Demon Energy, Mao Gang controlled people to make his power stronger through intermediaries like Emperor Yang Ergou and his subordinates.
Inside the Yang Palace looks Emperor Yang Ergou is standing staring at his subordinates who are members of the Seven Demonic Flowers. Of the seven only six remained and Emperor Yang Ergou had yet to raise a new member of the assassin group.
“The deaths of Hu Baohen and Kung Taiji are unfortunate and it was already a few months ago. Lang Feng's presence in place of Hu Baohen fills your void, but I need the strongest subordinates of the strongest. As you know, the two remaining Empires on this continent that should have been destroyed have re-developed.” Emperor Yang Ergou stared at the six people prostrating beneath him.
Emperor Yang Ergou intended to kidnap Jia Minji and Chu Meilan, all of that was to provoke Fei Chen's arrival to the Yang Empire because Mao Gang wanted to see for himself how the figure of the King of Hell had managed to seal Qi Che.
Mao Gang had always acted through intermediaries even when he wanted to see for himself Fei Chen's abilities, Mao Gang sent Bao Hong Zheng to look at the situation in the Yang Empire and Chu Empire.
“Your Majesty, I have done something that will make the King of Hell come to this land. There's nothing to worry about because I'm sure that person will definitely come, no matter what.” One of the men who bowed said. That man was Lang Feng who had managed to kidnap the Elders of the Peach Flower Lantern.
Emperor Yang Ergou frowned as he had not expected Lang Feng to say so.
“The King of Hell will definitely come here you say? Lang Feng, you know it's not the consequence of joking with me?!” Emperor Yang Ergou threatened Lang Feng with a murderous aura.
Instead of being afraid, Lang Feng smiled broadly. This reaction was very rarely seen for the other members of the Seven Demonic Flowers. Considering Lang Feng was serving outside of the Yang Empire, that man very rarely showed his attitude to the other members.
“Why are you smiling?!” Emperor Yang Ergou asked in a threatening tone.
Lang Feng replied, “Your Majesty, I just feel so proud to have such a powerful and wise ruler like you.”
Hearing that Emperor Yang Ergou frowned, ‘He didn't lie, but why do I feel underestimated?’
Just as Emperor Yang Ergou was about to approach Lang Feng, a small white snake fell down from above the ceiling of the palace roof.
“Slar?” Lang Feng stared intently at the snake as well as the others.
“Your Majesty, do we need to eradicate it?” One of the Seven Flower Demon members named Hei Yu asked. The man, nicknamed the Devil Orchid Flower, argued that the snake was an animal of a spy.
“Wait a minute, Devil Flower Orchid. Look up, isn't that the nest? Previously not like this.” said a white-haired man named Kang Feihu and has the nickname Devil Flower Jasmine.
“Why is there a snake nest in my Palace?!” Emperor Yang Ergou himself always had the servants clean up every single one of his private rooms.
But today Emperor Yang Ergou felt that something was wrong with the awkwardness of all this. Before Emperor Yang Ergou realized further, the numerous white snakes fell on the floor and a huge white snake appeared among them all.
