On this day, he came out of the shop and planned to take a stroll back to his residence. Recently, he had been living in the shops on both sides of the street and hadn't returned to the house for a long time. After all, it was the house that the librarian had painstakingly prepared for him. It was time to go back and take a look.
Along the way, many city guards greeted Du Feng. They often wandered around nearby, which could be said to be a great guarantee of the safety of the shop. After passing the main street, Du Feng turned into an alley with many turns. With his current Cultivation and the Nine Cycles Golden Dragon Body, he was not afraid of walking alone in the alley. Besides, the security of Nan City was so good, and he knew the chief commander of the city defense department. No one would be stupid enough to attack him in Nan City.
Life was unpredictable. Even a cautious person like Du Feng felt that there would be no problem. However, when he was about to walk home, he was attacked, and it was a very serious attack. Even with his reaction speed and tyrannical physique, his left arm was blown off. It could be said that this was the heaviest injury Du Feng had suffered since his rebirth.
The opponent did not say a word at all, nor did he use any moves. He just suddenly detonated his Internal Elixir. If that was the case, Du Feng would not easily let others get close to him. However, this person was a neighbor in this alley, and it was normal for him to pass by, so he did not care.
According to Du Feng's understanding, even if someone wanted to attack him, he could completely avoid it with his reaction speed. He did not expect that a permanent resident of Nan City, a seemingly normal neighbor, would suddenly explode next to him. If the Nine Cycles Golden Dragon Body had not been automatically activated at the critical moment, he would have lost more than just his left arm.
"Who did this? How dare they!"
At this time, the chief commander of the city defense department, Xu Zhiming, was also shocked. It could be said that the residents in Nan City, as long as they lived a little longer, knew his relationship with Du Feng. Even under such circumstances, there were still people who dared to attack him. And the person was a permanent resident of the city.
This matter was beyond the Guigu Family's ability. No matter how brave Guigu Lunhai was, he wouldn't dare to use the permanent residents of the Southern City to bomb Du Feng, because it would destroy the relationship between the two cities. If the Southern City Lord reported this to the higher-ups of the Cloud Capital, he would definitely be in serious trouble. The entire Guigu Clan might suffer as well.
To the martial artists of the lower realm, the Guigu Family was a mysterious hidden family. However, ninety-nine percent of their entire family was gathered in the Ghost Valley City on the Never-Ending Continent. If the higher-ups of the Cloud Capital wanted to punish them, they could do it in a matter of minutes.
"Have you ever heard of the Life League?"
With the powerful self-healing ability of the Nine Cycles Golden Dragon Body, Du Feng had already regrown an arm. It was temporarily unable to reach the strength of the original arm, but it did not affect it much. After seven days, he would be able to fully recover. He could not return to that residence for the time being. The other party seemed to be reckless, but he still had some misgivings.
Since he chose to make a move in the alley, it meant that he was afraid that it would be inconvenient to make a move on the street. If the explosion had happened in the shop, many innocent residents and some city guards would have been killed. If that happened, things would have gotten out of hand. Even the City Lord's Mansion would have to pay attention to it. Only Du Feng was injured. At most, Chief Captain Xu Mingzhi would order a strict investigation.
Both shops were protected by the city guards, so there should be no problem for Du Feng to stay in the shop and not return to the bungalow area. However, this incident also taught him a painful lesson. He was in the Southern Capital of the Never-Ending Continent, and he had such a strong relationship with the government, but there were still people who dared to attack him. It seemed that no matter what the situation was, he could not let his guard down.
It had been too easy to earn money recently, and his Cultivation had improved quickly. He had been too careless. He was attacked as soon as he let his guard down. An organization that would do such a reckless thing was either the Life League or the Adjudicator. Even professional assassin organizations like Seven Kills and Drunken Immortal Building would not be crazy enough to come to the Never-Ending Continent to kill people.
Alliance Master Shangguan of the Life League had broken through to the Ascendant Realm some time ago. He was inextricably linked to the Poison Monarch of the West Continent of the Four Sovereigns and was very familiar with the higher-ups of the Adjudicator Organization. The Adjudicator Organization was even more mysterious. Thousands of years ago, they had performed many spectacular feats and even killed an Emperor Realm expert. Even the Eight Guardians under Emperor Nan or the Four Great Deities under the Demon Emperor all had Emperor Realm strength and did not dare to offend the Adjudicator Organization.
Other than the Four Sovereigns, who had reached the Great Perfection Emperor Realm, there was really no one the Adjudicator Organization did not dare to kill. If this was done by the Adjudicator, it would make some sense. Du Feng did not mention the Adjudicator Organization because he was afraid of making things more complicated. He guessed that the Adjudicator Organization was probably an organization within the Cloud Capital. Their leader might be one of the higher-ups in the Cloud Capital.
If the Adjudicator wanted to touch Du Feng, even Xu Zhiming would not be able to do anything. He would be lucky if they did not attack him instead. However, when the Adjudicator Organization took action, there were usually seven of them appearing in the same area. If they had the permission of the higher-ups in the Cloud Capital, they would not be so sneaky.
Du Feng guessed that it was the Life League because the Life League could mobilize some of the Adjudicator Organization's personnel and had the ability to arrange people in the Southern City, but they did not dare to make it too public.
"I've heard of this name. Is their leader a woman?"
Xu Zhiming had heard of the Life League, but he was not familiar with it. As a master of the Ascendant Realm, he was actually not considered young. However, he had always stayed on the Weiyang Continent and had never been to the Lower Realm, so he did not know about the Life League. He was not even sure if the leader was a man or a woman.
"What Life League? How dare they touch my brother Du. They must be courting death."
Seeing Du Feng injured, Xu Tao could not take it anymore. Brother Du was his god of wealth. If something happened to him, where could he get so much money?
"Ahem, I will investigate this matter and give Mr. Du an explanation."
Xu Zhiming coughed lightly and stopped Xu Tao from continuing. Judging from his attitude, the matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Du Feng was very shrewd. He could see from Xu Zhiming's expression that this person did not know about the Life League as he claimed. Not only did he know, but he also knew some inside information.
