Nangong Yifeng cursed angrily. Actually, Nangong Jingwei was also furious. He killed Nangong Kaiwei to save the Fourth Young Miss and also to protect himself. But now that the rumors were spreading so wildly, the family head would definitely investigate. As long as someone checked Fourth Miss's body, he would be able to find out immediately. By then, he wouldn't be able to explain himself and would be deemed as the adulterer.
But if he revealed the truth, even if he could get rid of the suspicion of being the adulterer, Fourth Miss would still be punished. And because he didn't manage Nangong Kaiwei well, he would still die in the end. Thinking of this, Nangong Jingwei hardened his heart and left with his sword.
Interesting, the power of rumors was indeed strong. Soon, Du Feng realized that the people guarding outside the Northern Hell's door were gradually retreating. Those people were originally sent by Nangong Linshan. Who was Nangong Linshan? He was the family head of the Nangong Family, and he was very smart.
Although the rumors were a little exaggerated, there was some truth to it. If the people from the Northern Hell really wanted to deal with Fourth Miss, why did they only kill one person? How could it be so coincidental that one of her personal guards died, while the other was completely unharmed.
As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. Nangong Linshan immediately sent people to control the old butler beside Nangong Yifeng. Although Nangong Jingwei was ruthless, he didn't kill the old butler. Firstly, the old butler didn't stay here at night. Secondly, the old man wasn't weak and it wouldn't be easy to kill him.
Although the old butler wanted to help Fourth Miss, he was more afraid of the family head. Vaguely, he revealed some news that Fourth Miss and Nangong Kaiwei were rather close. When Nangong Linshan heard this, his head swelled. He immediately deduced the situation and came to a conclusion.
Fourth Miss was young and ignorant, and hooked up with Nangong Kaiwei. When Nangong Jingwei found out, he silenced them to prevent future troubles. They thought they were clever and wanted to frame the Northern Hell. In the end, they were discovered and spread the news in Temple Tang City. This way, the Nangong Family would lose a lot of face.
"Fool!"
Nangong Linshan was so angry that he threw the teapot in his hand to the ground. This was the second time he had thrown the teapot. The first time was because Nangong Yan had been killed by his brother. However, no matter how cunning Nangong Linshan was, he would never have thought that this matter was done by Du Feng. Beiming Feng and Du Feng were the same person.
Interestingly, Du Feng actually didn't know that Nangong Yifeng and Nangong Kaiwei had an improper relationship. He was just making a wild guess, and then in order to divert the conflict, he deliberately let people go out and spread the scandal of the Nangong Family. In the end, they were wrong. Although they were promoting the adulterer Nangong Jingwei, Nangong Kaiwei's matter was actually investigated by the clan leader.
Originally, the old housekeeper's mouth was very tight, and he didn't see anything between Fourth Miss and Nangong Kaiwei with his own eyes. But the rumors were so fierce, and with the clan leader's question, it was hard to believe. He thought about how Nangong Kaiwei and the Fourth Miss had been getting closer recently, so he couldn't hide it any longer.
Seeing that the people around the Northern Hell had all left, Du Feng wanted to make a trip to the Sundry Goods Store. He wanted to see how the goods were selling, and also talk to Xiao Junhao about the future business. But just as he stepped out of the house, his right eyebrow suddenly hurt. This was a sign of extreme danger.
Then he felt a cold wind at the back of his head. It was too late to dodge, so he used the Nine Revolutions Golden Dragon Body.
"Clang!"
With a crisp sound, a sharp sword stabbed into the weak spot at the back of Du Feng's head. If it wasn't for his Nine Revolutions Golden Dragon Body, his head would have been pierced through. At that moment, he didn't even have time to use his most exquisite movement technique. The strength of this stab was so great that it actually broke the sword in half.
"Hai!"
Du Feng roared, and his body glowed with golden light. Without even looking, he reached behind him and grabbed a person who was vomiting blood. That's right, this person was Nangong Jingwei. He knew that if he was sent back to the Nangong Family's headquarters, he would die sooner or later. After thinking about it, he might as well fight it out with Du Feng.
That stab just now was his Sacrificial Sword Technique, Fleeting Bloom. This stab was really like a blooming flower that only bloomed for a moment. It drained all the True Essence in Nangong Jingwei's body and used the strongest stab in his life. After that stab, his entire body started to wither, and even his soul started to dissipate.
"Soul Searching Technique …"
Du Feng couldn't let him die just like that. He had to know something. In broad daylight, he directly used the Great Soul Searching Technique. But it was too late. Nangong Jingwei was prepared, and once his soul started to dissipate, there was no way to reverse it. In the end, he didn't find anything.
In the end, the only thing Du Feng grabbed was Nangong Jingwei's jacket. Nangong Jingwei turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated with the wind. In order to protect his beloved Fourth Mistress, he really put in a lot of effort.
The group of people from the Nangong Family who had disappeared earlier suddenly surrounded them. Because everyone saw how Du Feng killed Nangong Jingwei on the streets. Previously, they didn't have a reason to make a move, but now they had a reason.
"All of you, stop!"
At this moment, Pang Jie rushed over with a team of city guards and stood in between Du Feng and the group of people. Luckily, he had left some people around, otherwise, things would have been troublesome.
"Leader Pang, why aren't you guarding the city gates? What are you doing here?"
The person in charge of patrolling this area today was another Leader Yang. He was the head leader's trusted aide, and naturally, he was instructed to help the Nangong Family. Pang Jie was in charge of guarding the city gates today, and indeed, he shouldn't have brought people here to help.
"I was just passing by, so I came to take a look."
Pang Jie touched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed. This lie of his was really a bit of a lie. This was the center of the city, and it was very far from the city gates. How could he just happen to pass by?
"What a coincidence. I believe you saw how the Lord of Northern Hell killed someone on the streets."
Leader Yang took a look and realized that Pang Jie had more people with him, so he didn't flare up on the spot. While chatting, he secretly sent a message to the chief commander and told him what had happened.
"Of course I saw it. Nangong Jingwei was killed because he failed to sneak attack Boss Beiming."
