Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

As for Chu Feng, a minor character in their eyes, he was no different from a dead man.

"The iron is an excellent instrument of torture. When it's branded onto flesh, the white smoke billows, and it can make this kid scream like a slaughtered pig. It sounds quite pleasant!"

Manager Pang said with a sinister smile.

"Alright, we'll get it for you right away!"

Two prison guards understood and immediately went to lift the stove and fetch the iron.

"Governor Bai, this is your territory, and you've put a lot of effort into imprisoning this little guy. Another day, I [Manager Pang] will definitely pay a visit!"

"Can any torture instrument be used on this kid? What if he is accidentally killed, will there be any trouble?"

Although the Pang Family is very influential, killing is still something to be cautious about.

It's better to ask clearly.

"Lord Zhang has already spoken. Whether he lives or dies is all up to you, Manager Pang. I [Deputy Bai] have nothing more to say."

"Don't worry; even if a life is indeed lost, it's not a matter. What place is this? It's the big prison, where every year there are always a few unlucky ones 'dying from illness' in here."

When he said the word 'illness', Governor Bai emphasized it particularly heavily.

He was also deliberately flattering Lord Zhang.

The Ministry of Revenue is known as the Emperor's moneybag, holding great power. Vice Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Revenue holds significant authority.

In the future, this government office under Governor Bai for requesting public funds and distributing bonuses might receive some consideration.

This is what they mean by officials protecting each other.

Being shrewd people, Manager Pang immediately smiled, "With this word from Governor Bai, then I am reassured." With no more reservations, he strode towards Chu Feng.

"You little beast, do you still remember me?"

Manager Pang asked with an icy voice.

"Loser!" Chu Feng looked up at Manager Pang and said, filled with disdain.

Slap!

Manager Pang raised his hand and delivered a slap.

"This hand of yours is gone!"

Chu Feng took a slap, and with his hands and feet tied, he was powerless to fight back. He gritted his teeth, his gaze vicious.

He had never suffered such a loss since his rebirth.

"Ha ha, keep being arrogant! I'll slap again!"

Manager Pang laughed angrily, not at all afraid of Chu Feng's threat. He raised his other palm and slapped Chu Feng again.

Immediately, clear fingerprints appeared on Chu Feng's handsome face.

"Now both of your hands are gone!" Chu Feng said again.

"Still daring to be arrogant, bring in the iron!" Manager Pang ordered the two prison guards.

Chu Feng, with a cold face, his icy gaze swept towards Vice Minister Zhang and Governor Bai, "You two will not escape justice either!"

"Idiot!" Governor Bai didn't regard Chu Feng as a person at all.

He had dealt with many prisoners who were sent to the sea, but it was the first time he had seen someone as arrogant as Chu Feng.

"You, a mere civilian, dare to talk about justice with me? You're not even worth an ant in front of me. Even if you die, it will stir no waves!" Vice Minister Zhang also said to Chu Feng with extreme contempt.

At this moment, the iron was brought in. The charcoal fire inside was very lively, emitting waves of intense heat. Two rods used for execution were heated until they were glowing red inside.

Manager Pang picked up one of them, his face showing a ferocious smile.

"You little beast, your mouth is quite tough, isn't it? I, Pang, will just scald your foul mouth first!" He was about to sear Chu Feng's mouth.

Chu Feng endured the spanking and slaps.

If this iron branding soup touches his mouth, his face would be disfigured immediately. He must resist desperately.

"Mokeboer, do you have any confidence in dealing with him?" Chu Feng asked.

"Master, there is the Prison God suppressing inside the prison, I simply cannot come out!" If the Evil Spirit King could have come out, he would have already done so.

This place is the Vermilion Bird Imperial City, naturally enveloped by the Emperor's True Dragon Qi. The prison is a special place, suppressed by the Prison God; the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King, being a Yin Soul, is completely restrained and has no ability to come out.

"Sword Shadow Worm, it's all down to you now!" Chu Feng had to resort to using another pet.

The Sword Shadow Worm has not yet grown up and is relatively weak in strength.

Moreover, once it makes a move, Manager Pang will undoubtedly die.

Then, Chu Feng will definitely face great trouble. But Chu Feng is a ruthless person; being bullied to such an extent, he naturally wouldn't be polite anymore.

Just as Chu Feng was ready to do whatever it took, using the Sword Shadow Worm to bite Manager Pang to death, the rescuer arrived.

"Stop!"

Lord Wang finally arrived with others at this critical moment.

"Lord Wang! This is a heavy area of the prison, with your identity, I'm afraid you can't just barge in, right?" Governor Bai had an indifferent face and spoke in a very stern tone.

Although Lord Wang was a Fourth-grade official, Governor Bai's position wasn't low either.

And with Vice Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Revenue here, whose status was much higher than Lord Wang's, there was even less need to fear Lord Wang.

"You little beast, even if the Heaven's Emperor himself came today, he wouldn't be able to save you." Manager Pang was equally arrogant, daring to make such a fierce statement in front of Lord Wang.

"Lord Wang, you are very daring, to see me and yet dare not pay your respects!" Vice Minister Zhang's voice carried authority.

"Oh, Lord Zhang is here too, that's good, saves me another trip to the Ministry of Revenue!"

"The Holy Decree is here, why are you not kneeling down to listen to the Decree?"

Lord Wang directly took out the Holy Decree and read it aloud. Normally, reading the Holy Decree is a privilege of eunuchs, and only high-ranking eunuchs are qualified to read the Holy Decree.

"Is, is this Holy Decree real?" Everyone like Governor Bai and others were all full of doubt.

Vice Minister Zhang's heart sank completely.

He never dreamed that such a trivial matter would alarm the Vermilion Bird Emperor. While others doubted the authenticity of the Holy Decree, being a Third-rank official, he was very familiar with the Decrees.

Vice Minister Zhang could affirm that this Holy Decree was real.

"Unexpectedly, this Young alchemist from Longevity Hall could actually gain the favor of the Heavenly Emperor; he is really lucky. No, I must find a way to clear my involvement, I cannot be implicated in this matter."

Vice Minister Zhang, having been in the government for a long time, was well aware of the stakes involved.

He knew that trying to deal with Chu Feng again was basically impossible.

"Ahem... I have urgent matters to attend to, today's inspection of the North City prison is almost over. I shall take my leave!" Vice Minister Zhang meant to slip away.

He had the highest official rank on the scene, and if he wanted to leave, there really was no one who could stop him.

After all, the Holy Decree was only mandating Lord Wang to investigate and handle the matter.

If they could capture Vice Minister Zhang's conclusive evidence, they could easily prosecute him. Right now, without any evidence, blindly arresting people would definitely not work.

Governor Bai, seeing that things were going wrong, also turned pale.

Seeing Vice Minister Zhang's reaction, the Holy Decree was definitely real. This Alchemist Chu actually received the favor of the Vermilion Bird Emperor, this time, he really created a huge problem. Vice Minister Zhang could leave neatly, but he made a foolish mistake.

Initially, when they imprisoned Chu Feng, they didn't even conduct a trial and directly convicted him.

Now that Chu Feng has strong backing, with Lord Wang Ji bringing the Holy Decree, pursuing this matter vigorously, his abuse of power, he basically couldn't escape the charges.
