Chapter 21: Reborn as a Marquis from Among Enemies (Part 9)

Inside the tent
Su Chen stood with his arms crossed
He showed no surprise at the arrival of a Spirit Soul Realm expert.
The gray-robed elder behind Su Chen recognized the white-haired man and immediately identified him.
This scene sent a shiver down the spine of the Purple Lightning Marquis.
"Not good, we've fallen into a trap!"
Realizing the danger, the Purple Lightning Marquis immediately tried to retreat.
But the old man's withered hand grasped a long spear.
Divine Soul Power erupted
The night was illuminated as if by day. Seeing this, the generals realized something was wrong and shouted,
"Protect the young marquis!"
If the young marquis died here, all of them near him would likely be implicated.
"It's you, the Master of the Soaring Spear! You're still alive!"
A single spear strike that startled the heavens.
It had astonished several eras.
It had dominated the surrounding kingdoms.
Five hundred years had passed, and many believed the Master of the Soaring Spear was long dead.
Now, he was actually standing alive before Marquis Zidian!
This was... a fifth-level Spirit Soul Realm expert!
Marquis Zidian was only at the third level of the Spirit Soul Realm; how could he dare to fight? He only wanted to retreat quickly.
But how could the Master of the Soaring Spear allow Marquis Zidian to escape before his eyes?
"Damn Yu Zhengde, you've ruined me!"
"This is what you call an ordinary Spirit Soul Realm expert? An unremarkable old man?"
Marquis Zidian cursed. The Master of the Soaring Spear, in the Canglan Kingdom, was definitely among the top ten experts!
Marquis Zidian's voice could be clearly heard by everyone on the ground.
Their eyes were filled with horror.
It seemed that their Commander Yu was trying to collude with the Canglan Kingdom to murder the young marquis.
Thinking of this possibility, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
Perhaps... something big was about to happen.
Yu Zhengde was happily contemplating in his tent that if the young Marquis Su Chen died, he could easily retreat.
However, the words of the Purple Lightning Marquis shattered his illusions.
Yu Zhengde walked out of his tent in disbelief.
He witnessed the Purple Lightning Marquis being chased by a familiar gray-robed elder.
His mind went blank.
It's over.
Soon, countless soldiers, generals, and guards surrounded Yu Zhengde.
"Yu Zhengde, how dare you! You actually dared to collude with the people of the Canglan Kingdom to murder the young Marquis!"
A sharp shout rang out.
The crowd parted to make way.
Su Chen approached unhurriedly, two guards glaring at Yu Zhengde.
Upon seeing Su Chen, Yu Zhengde felt a thunderbolt strike his mind; his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
Su Chen looked down at Yu Zhengde.
"Young Marquis...this wasn't me, it really wasn't me! I didn't collude with the Canglan Kingdom to harm you!"
"This must be a divisive tactic by the Canglan Kingdom!"
Yu Zhengde was still arguing, trying to clear himself of suspicion.
Su Chen simply said coldly, "Take him away."
The guards on either side swarmed forward. Yu Zhengde tried to struggle, but was quickly subdued.
The Xuanwu Army was thus temporarily placed under Su Chen's command.
The Master of the Jinghong Spear also brought back the head of the Purple Lightning Marquis.
This made Su Chen sigh. This man was truly formidable. Perhaps, besides his great-grandfather, one of the ten strongest figures in the Tianfeng Kingdom, this gray-robed old man was the strongest in the Marquis's mansion.
After taking command of the Xuanwu Army, Su Chen immediately reshuffled its leadership, stripping all those associated with Yu Zhengde of their cultivation and imprisoning them.
After leading the Xuanwu Army in a few symbolic battles, Su Chen returned to the capital.
Tianfeng Kingdom
With Su Chen's return, news spread throughout the Tianfeng Kingdom.
The Xuanwu Army's commander-in-chief colluded with the Canglan Kingdom to assassinate the young Marquis of Jinghai's mansion. Tianfeng Kingdom's top genius nearly caused the young Marquis's death and the loss of a million Xuanwu soldiers.
The young Marquis ultimately saw through the plot, turning the tide and forcing the Canglan Kingdom to sign a series of treaties, achieving a resounding victory.
Nangong Meng's body, after decades, was also returned to the Tianlan Sect by Su Chen, returning to its ancestral home.
The King was overjoyed and bestowed upon Su Chen the title of Champion Marquis.
The young man's conferment of a marquisate quickly became a legend within the Tianfeng Kingdom.
On the mountain overlooking the capital, Su Chen gazed down.
Since that day,
Yu Zhengde had been completely branded a traitor colluding with the Canglan Kingdom.
Unfortunately, he died young in prison.
Below, the once prestigious Yu family,
now, were prisoners, their members mercilessly beheaded one by one.
Su Chen watched this scene and chuckled softly.
"What a cycle of fate."
They rose to power by erasing all his past achievements,
yet in this life, he easily brought about their own demise and the extermination of their clan.
"Brother Feng Chen, what are you looking at?"
Feng Huai'an, dressed in a pink fairy-like dress, rested her chin on her hand, looking at Su Chen gazing out the window, and muttered.
He rarely got to see his beloved, yet instead of looking at her, the most beautiful woman in the Tianfeng Kingdom, he was looking out the window.
Su Chen turned around, smiled, and said, "It's nothing, just some scenes reminded me of the past."
Su Chen looked at Feng Huai'an and said softly, "Huai'an, I'll marry you next year, okay?"
Hearing this, Feng Huai'an's fair, jade-like face visibly flushed. She leaned on the white jade table, and after a long while, she whispered, "Brother Feng Chen, you mustn't break your promise."
Su Chen nodded, a smile appearing on his face: "I certainly won't break my promise."
That night, after Feng Huai'an returned to the palace,
Su Chen sighed softly: "What a silly girl."
However, with her royal status,
she could do even more.
.......
A year passed.
Su Chen's cultivation had barely reached the second level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
That year, in this life, Su Chen was twenty years old.
He also married Feng Huai'an as promised.
The entire Jinghai Marquis's mansion was bustling with excitement.
The most beautiful woman in the Tianfeng Kingdom got married.
The wine in the restaurant was completely sold out that day.
Countless young talents grieved and grieved.
But that one was the number one genius of the Tianfeng Kingdom.
He was simply too dazzling.
After marrying Feng Huai'an, Su Chen officially took over the Jinghai Marquis's mansion.
However, his brothers and his useless father seemed quite dissatisfied, and Su Chen directly stripped them of all power.
On a journey through Beifeng City, Su Chen disappeared silently, only to reappear in his old haunts.
The place was covered in dust.
Su Chen saw some tombstones on the hill in the backyard.
Some wine and offerings remained on the tombstones.
"Is it Li Ming?"
Su Chen thought of his childhood friend from his previous life. After all these years, only he would still remember the person named Jiang Chen.
Su Chen didn't touch the items.
He bowed to Jiang's father, mother, Wang Bailu, and his children in turn.
"Rest assured, I will soon make the Feng clan pay the price."
Su Chen murmured to himself.
Following the marks left from his past life, he found the place where the Spirit Communication Technique was buried and dug it out.
This was his reliance for revenge.
