This time, the fire dragon that charged out was especially ferocious. It carried the might of the Great Sun and instantly pounced onto the little lizard. Even if it was made of steel, it would still be melted by the Great Sun Fire. After the fire was extinguished, Du Feng realized that there was really a puddle of something that looked like molten iron on the ground. As the temperature dropped, it was slowly solidifying.
He walked over and used his Fire Dragon Sword to pick up the pile of stuff before throwing it into his necklace. He threw it accurately and it fell into the lake to cool down. After it cooled down, he took it out to take a look. It was something that looked like a metal lizard. However, the lizard was already dead and could not move. All that was left was its sturdy body.
This little thing was actually quite scary. Just one of it was enough to torment Du Feng, and that was because he had the Fire Dragon Sword. If a martial artist that did not know fire attribute techniques encountered it, it would probably be a bloodbath. However, there was something strange. There was such a good opportunity for a sneak attack, but the killer Scarlet Bee did not come.
Actually, it was not that Scarlet Bee did not want to come, but he could not. After chasing the blue city, he was mesmerized by the peach blossom spirit. Now, he had become one of the puppets at the city gates, standing guard for her. As an assassin, his heart was very cold and would not be affected by charm. Unfortunately, as a Scarlet Bee, he could ignore many types of bee venom and even snake venom, but he could not resist pollen venom.
Perhaps as the master of the Scarlet Bee, he was destined to fall into the hands of the peach blossom spirit. Hence, this time, the peach blossom spirit had indirectly helped Du Feng to get rid of a hidden danger.
"What's going on? Are the people from the Drunken Immortal Inn reliable? They still have not replied."
NanGong Le already knew that Du Feng had gone out and that the first mission of the Drunken Immortal Inn had failed. He thought that the second mission should have a result. Because Scarlet Bee had not replied to the headquarters, the Drunken Immortal Inn did not reply to NanGong Le either.
"Young master, the Drunken Immortal Inn has replied."
Just as NanGong Le was waiting anxiously, the old butler returned with news.
"How was it? Did you kill Du Feng?"
Nangong Le really wanted to know about this news. To him, Du Feng was a thorn in his side. If he didn't get rid of him, he wouldn't be able to live in peace.
"The money was returned, double the original amount!"
The moment the old butler said this, Nangong Le understood everything. The second mission of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant had definitely failed again, and they had decided to cancel the mission to assassinate Du Feng. Lady Luluo had failed, but at least she had returned alive. The Scarlet Wasp disappeared without a trace on the way. This made the Drunken Immortal Pavilion's Lord suspect that there was an expert protecting Du Feng in secret.
Actually, no one would have thought that the Scarlet Wasp didn't die, but instead became a puppet under the Pomegranate Skirt. From then on, he was no longer loyal to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion's Lord Lord. Instead, he was willing to go through water and tread on fire for a purple-clothed young woman. If the peach blossom spirit ordered Chi Feng to go to the Drunken Immortal House to kill the Lord, he would not hesitate to go. It did not matter if he could win or not. At most, he would die. So what if he had to sacrifice his life for a beauty's smile?
"Old butler, what do you think we should do? How can we kill that brat Du Feng?"
Nangong Le was truly helpless. He couldn't beat Du Feng. He had spent a lot of money to hire assassins, but they failed one after another. Could it be that Du Feng and that brat's lives were so tough that they couldn't die?
"Young Master, we can only seek help from the family. However, once the family's people make a move, it would be equivalent to completely falling out with the Situ Family. "
Previously, Nangong Le didn't want to spread the news of his cousin's death, and also wanted to atone for his crimes. He had to pay for his revenge in secret, but he couldn't kill Du Feng even after so long. If he were to seek help from the family, they would definitely send experts to kill Du Feng.
However, Du Feng was now a collaborator of the Situ Family, and he was providing them with the True Essence Cannon. Furthermore, it was widely rumored that the Situ Family had the intention of choosing him as their son-in-law, but they had yet to confirm which of the three sisters he would marry. If it was really someone from the Nangong Family who went to kill Du Feng, the Situ Family would definitely find out because there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world.
Martial artists had their own rules. Even if the Situ Family found out that Nangong Le had hired an assassin to kill Du Feng, they couldn't blame him. This was because anyone could buy an assassin, and they couldn't be sure that the assassin that killed Du Feng was hired by Nangong Le. It could also be that he had caused some trouble outside and was killed by someone else.
However, if it was someone from the Nangong Family who made a move, it would mean that they wanted to kill this potential future son-in-law of the Situ Family. To put it bluntly, it would be an open declaration of war. If they succeeded, it would be better. After all, a dead person wouldn't have any potential. The Situ Family would at most cause some trouble in their business and make the Nangong Family pay some money. The amount would definitely not be small, but they could afford it.
If the people from the Nangong Family couldn't kill Du Feng, then it would be a real problem. This meant that Du Feng was extremely valuable and could help the Situ Family deal with the Nangong Family. At that time, the Situ Family would try their best to rope him in, and they would not hesitate to start an all-out war with the Nangong Family. Nangong Le really couldn't shoulder that kind of responsibility alone, even with his father's help.
"I have an idea, but I don't know if I should say it …"
Seeing that the Young Master was in such a difficult position, the old butler thought of another idea.
"If there's anything else that we can't talk about, just say it."
Nangong Le was worried to death because of Du Feng's matter. If he didn't get rid of this little devil, he wouldn't be able to cultivate in peace, and sooner or later, he would have an inner demon. Once a martial artist had an inner demon, he would easily explode and die when he was breaking through a major realm. If he didn't kill Du Feng, it would be very difficult for Nangong Le to break through in the future. If he couldn't make any progress in his Cultivation, he would be abandoned by the Nangong Family, regardless of whether he was a direct descendant or not.
When that time came, they wouldn't even give him a single white crystal, let alone such a huge restaurant. They would throw him outside like a beggar, leaving him to fend for himself.
"There are people from our family in the Seven Basaltic Mansions, how about this …"
Very quickly, the old butler came up with an idea. After listening to this idea, Nangong Le's eyes lit up. That's right, who said that they had to kill Du Feng outside? They could totally do it in the Seven Basaltic Mansions. Although students weren't allowed to fight in private, there were other ways.
"Old butler, let's do it according to what you said. You must keep it a secret."
