Chapter 486: Don't Think I Won't Hit You Just Because You're a Eunuch

Di Nufeng had been quite busy during the last few days.

Ever since Chu Liang got imprisoned, she had been proactively planning his jailbreak. Taking into consideration how much manpower the Mount Shu Sect possessed, Di Nufeng worked on crafting a huge and incredibly detailed plan to rescue Chu Liang.

Ultimately, it wasn't just one plan but three, divided into three levels based on feasibility: high, mid, and low.

The high-level plan was to leverage the power of the Mount Shu Sect and coerce the Red River Sect into giving up on the cases. They just needed to follow the standard method of using force and heavy threats, and they'd be done with the matter.

This plan was the simplest to put into action, but the downside was that many others had done the same. It lacked creativity... Moreover, It could also draw condemnation from the immortal sects and scrutiny from the Imperial Supervisory Bureau, tarnishing the Mount Shu Sect's reputation.

The mid-level plan involved Di Nufeng taking advantage of her right to visit Chu Liang. She would secretly take Chu Liang back with her and then have him escape to the islands of the South Sea, where he would live incognito for years before returning.

However, that plan had some risks and many variables that might interfere with its execution.

The low-level plan was for the Mount Shu Sect to rise together. Venerable Wen Yuan would lead them in a nighttime surprise attack on the capital of Yu. Di Nufeng, a mole in the imperial family, would bring them into the imperial palace and then behead the emperor. She would take the throne herself, exonerate Chu Liang from his charges, and release him.

This plan posed the least long-term risk, but it would be quite challenging to execute it.

When Di Nufeng presented the plans to Venerable Wen Yuan, he was taken aback.

"Did you write these yourself?"

He looked at the lengthy plans, quite surprised that Di Nufeng could produce something like this.

"I only spent two hours writing them, so there will definitely be some oversights," Di Nufeng replied calmly. "We can ask Uncle Sikong and Tantai Jing to finalize the plans. After that, we can run some simulations on a sand table to choose the path with the highest chance of succeeding."

Speechless, Venerable Wen Yuan scanned through the plans with an expressionless face. Then he asked, "Which of these plans do you think is best?"

"I'm leaning toward the third one. It's got the lowest feasibility of the three, but it's a permanent solution," Di Nufeng said with great passion.

She continued, "That emperor—that old guy's surname is Xia, and so is mine. If he can sit in that position, why can't I? When we take the capital, we can get rid of the Imperial Supervisory Commissioner and have you take his place. I'll grant titles of general and chancellor to the Four Guardian Elders. We'll feast and drink in the golden palace hall. Wouldn't that be wonderful...?"

As Di Nufeng fantasized about the future, Venerable Wen Yuan furrowed his brows even more deeply, and dark creases gathered in between them.

Goodness. If the Mount Shu Sect were left in your hands, would it even be able to survive for three years?

There was a time when I thought the Discipline Master had led this girl astray, indulging in her wild behavior. But now it seems that perhaps it was her teachings that saved the girl.

If she had been raised elsewhere, wouldn't she have easily become the leader of a major rebellion?

The problem is that her plans may sound wild and outrageous, but on paper, they are bold, meticulous, and clearly feasible.

And that's what makes her even more terrifying.

She truly is part of the Xia Family...

"Um... Feng'er," Venerable Wen Yuan began. He hesitated and then said, "Have you considered the possibility that... Chu Liang really is innocent? He didn't kill anyone, and once Jiang Yuebai and the Imperial Supervisory Bureau figure out the truth, he'll be fine."

"Mm." Di Nufeng nodded. "That's also a good idea. We can fabricate evidence to prove it was someone else or find a scapegoat."

Venerable Wen Yuan rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "Forget it. You don't need to worry about such things. Just don't be hasty. I assure you that Chu Liang will be fine, so don't worry."

"What do you mean?" Di Nufeng looked a bit disappointed. She nudged her plans over to him. "Won't you consider using one of these plans?"

"I will think it over," Venerable Wen Yuan said irritably, waving his hand to dismiss her. "Just go back and wait for my message."

Di Nufeng waited on Mount Shu for two days without contact from Venerable Wen Yuan. Eventually, she realized that the phrase "wait for my message" was likely the biggest lie in the world, so she could only give up resentfully.

During this time, she also went to find Old Man Sikong to see if hexagram divination could be used to prove Chu Liang's innocence. However, that wasn't necessary, as the people from the Imperial Supervisory Bureau had already done precisely that.

Old Man Sikong performed the divination, but from the moment he started looking into the cases, all he saw was a blur. It was clear that there was something obscuring the secrets of the heavens.

Then when he tried to find out whether Chu Liang had killed anyone, he was met with the same blur. It seemed that Chu Liang also possessed something that obscured the secrets of the heavens.

Di Nufeng had no choice but to give up on this method too.

After those two days, she remembered that she should go check on Chu Liang. She wanted to confirm that he was safe and sound. Furthermore, if she needed to break him out of jail later, she needed to scout the place first.

So, Di Nufeng rushed to the capital of Yu as streak of fire. On her way to the Imperial Supervisory Bureau, she saw large crowds and chaos everywhere.

Di Nufeng put her hands together and sighed in disappointment. If we wanted to attack the city, now would be the perfect opportunity.

When Di Nufeng arrived at the Imperial Supervisory Bureau, she saw Chu Liang swinging a whip wildly. There was a huge line of people in front of him waiting to be whipped.

"You little rascal. Here I was worried you'd be tortured here, but it turns out you're dishing out punishment to others," Di Nufeng said as she approached. Then she asked. "Have you joined their gang?"

Chu Liang saw that his teacher had arrived, but he couldn't pause his whipping.

He just stayed silent as he remarked inwardly... For a government institution like the Imperial Supervisory Bureau, even if I were to become one of its members, it would be called "entering the ranks." What's that about "joining their gang"??

Chu Liang explained, "It's a mess in the city. All these people have been poisoned, and I just happen to be able to help detoxify them."

Di Nufeng was about to ask something else, but she spotted a beautiful woman in the distance.

Her eyes lit up as she called out, "Little Yu!"

Xue Muyu[1] was in the midst of helping stabilize the situation. Nevertheless, she smiled when she saw Di Nufeng.

"Ah Feng," Xue Muyu replied.

Without another word, Di Nufeng ditched Chu Liang and ran over to Xue Muyu.

Given the critical situation, Xue Muyu couldn't leave to spend time with Di Nufeng, but it was clear that the two had a close relationship.

The courtyard of the Imperial Supervisory Bureau was quite large. Chu Liang was saving people at the front of the line, while Xue Muyu was at the end of the line. They were quite far apart. The members of the Imperial Supervisory Bureau who were moving to and fro between them were too preoccupied to notice Di Nufeng.

This was when that palace attendant, the young eunuch, requested for Chu Liang to enter the palace, but he refused.

Afterward, the young eunuch returned to the palace hall to report Chu Liang's response to the emperor. Then Li Chengfeng suggested sending the poisoned members of the imperial family and the people from the Roupu Kingdom to the Imperial Supervisory Bureau. They could get there with adequate time to spare for Chu Liang to save them.

Empress Wu was worried about the safety of the imperial relatives, so she ordered Cheng Hu to accompany them. However, when Cheng Hu arrived at the Imperial Supervisory Bureau, he found that Chu Liang was unwilling to comply. Used to being domineering, Cheng Hu decided straight away to simply snatch the Poison-Expulsion Whip from Chu Liang.

Unfortunately for Cheng Hu, he didn't know that Chu Liang was an expert in the ways of the world. Even if he was unwilling to comply with Cheng Hu demands, he would usually, at the very least, tactfully negotiate for a compromise. The reason he was being so stubborn now was that Silver Sword Peak's esteemed heroes were all present!

Di Nufeng had been busy clinging to Xue Muyu, so she hadn't paid much attention to the old eunuch when he entered. However, she did notice when Cheng Hu made a move against Chu Liang.

Di Nufeng sprang into action.

Boom!

Cheng Hu was an Eminent One who had reached the Dao Attainment Realm. With the Yin-Slaying Sutra, his cultivation power surged like the towering waves of tempestuous seas. In an instant, he unleashed an intense murderous aura.

It was obvious that he released that overwhelming pressure to force Chu Liang into submission. Yet, Chu Liang didn't even blink.

In the next moment, a burst of violet-gold flames swooped down with a whoosh!

"Huh?" Cheng Hu uttered in alarm, pushing his palms out to block the flames.

The violet-gold flames exploded loudly against his palms. Just how much force did the Samadhi True Fire possess?

The collision left Cheng Hu in a very sorry state. His sleeves had been incinerated in a mere instant.

Before he could circulate his foundational qi again, a ferocious figure charged out from the flames and pressed a hand onto Warrior Cheng Hu's face.

Boom!

The two figures moved so quickly that they left brightly colored afterimages. Then when finally stopped, it was because Di Nufeng had slammed Cheng Hu's head onto a wall.

The buildings of the Imperial Supervisory Bureau were fortified with special enchanted formations, making them extremely sturdy. That was why they hadn't collapsed with a loud crash from the force of Di Nufeng's attack.

Instead, Cheng Hu's head ended up getting embedded into the wall!

"You old fool..." Di Nufeng, still surrounded by residual flames, narrowed her eyes. "Don't think I won't hit you just because you're a eunuch."

1. Reminder that this is Li Chengfeng’s wife, whom Di Nufeng is fond of. ☜
