263 – Breaking in, Capture
“I’ve had people prepare all the relevant documents and had Bousso hand them over to the aristocratic senate . In about half a month, you will be a hereditary peer chevalier of the empire . ” After walking out of the Temple of Contracts, Yang Feng smiled and said to Cassius .
Cassius not only looked grateful, but even changed his form of address: “Many thanks, Master!”
Yang Feng said with a smile: “Becky, in a few days, you will be a real aristocratic lady . ”
“Aristocratic lady!” Becky was a little excited when she heard that, but there was also a trace of melancholy about her .
Ever since Becky could remember, Cassius had already been a Sacred Swordsman . She had always been proud of her Sacred Swordsman father, and believed him to be the mightiest person in the world .
But when Becky was 12 years old, she had a taste of the cruelty of this hierarchical society . She was rejected by the St . Violet School, which was the most famous school for girls in the St . Talon City, because she was not a descendant of an aristocrat . At that time, she realized that her Sacred Swordsman father wasn’t omnipotent .
In this world, there was nothing that could not be sliced through by the sword of a Sacred Swordsman . However, the sword of a Sacred Swordsman could not slice through the invisible barrier that separated aristocrats and commoners .
As Becky grew older, she became ever more aware of the heavy weight the word ‘aristocrat’ carried in the Morrince Empire . The person with whom she was once secretly in love with chose a girl, who was inferior to her in all respects, because she was of an aristocratic lineage . A position that she cared about was easily snatched away by an aristocratic girl . On social occasions, many people would admire her due to her Sacred Swordsman father . However, the most popular girls were those aristocratic ladies, and not her, who was the daughter of a Sacred Swordsman .
Becky looked at Yang Feng, whom she had despised previously, yet had now become her father’s master, and wanted to say something, yet she stopped, not knowing what to say .
Yang Feng, naturally, didn’t care about Becky . He turned to Cassius and asked: “Cassius, I also want to recruit a few more Sacred Swordsmen . In the St . Tulan City, who do you think can be recruited by me?”
As a Sacred Swordsman himself, Cassius had the qualification to enter the circle of Sacred Swordsmen, so he knew much more than Yang Feng .
Cassius contemplated for a while before saying: “Wind-Fire Sacred Swordsman Adio, Earth Sacred Swordsman Magea, Raging Sacred Swordsman Lucero, Sea Sacred Swordsman Muhanu, Violet Sacred Swordsman Nedeo, Lily Sacred Swordsman Mujica, these 7 Sacred Swordsmen might be recruited by you, master . ”
In the St . Tulan City, a majority of the Sacred Swordsmen had either joined the court and entered a variety of powerful organizations, or were recruited by greater aristocrats . There were only dozens of unaffiliated Sacred Swordsmen .
Among those dozens of Sacred Swordsmen, some were indifferent to fame and fortune, and devoted themselves to martial arts . At the same time, there were others who could not be recruited due to various reasons .
Yang Feng asked suddenly: “Can the Broken Star Sacred Swordsman Penaville be recruited?”
The Broken Star Sacred Swordsman Penaville was publicly acknowledged as the strongest Sacred Swordsman in the St . Tulan City . He had been pursuing the pinnacle of swordsmanship all his life, and had never been defeated ever since he stepped into the Legend rank . He had went to the beastman empire to kill Sacred Warriors, Desert Empire to kill Sacred Barbarians, and Titan Empire to kill the nr . 1 Sacred Swordsman .
Since 20 years ago, the Broken Star Sacred Swordsman Penaville was publicly acknowledged as the nr . 1 human Sacred Swordsman . According to legend, so long as he had a sword in his hand, he could even slay demigods .
The physical constitution of human Sacred Swordsmen couldn’t compare to that of human Warlocks, and their life expectancy was merely 120 to 150 years .
In his youth, the Broken Star Sacred Swordsman had a fortuitous encounter, where he drank a vial of Water of Life left in the secular world by the intermediate divine power rank Goddess Of Life Cornelia of the Zaliah divine system . As a result, his life expectancy was extended by 100 years .
The Broken Star Sacred Swordsman Penaville was 70 years old and was at his prime . He was publicly acknowledged as the strongest human powerhouse below the demigod rank .
Many people speculated that the Broken Star Sacred Swordsman Penaville could even slay demigods with his sword .
No matter the plane, there would always be hard to fathom peerless geniuses . The Broken Star Sacred Swordsman Penaville was one such beyond fathom peerless genius of the sword path .
With an expression of both admiration and envy, Cassius shook his head, saying: “Impossible, Master! Once, a divine descendant family offered him the title of a hereditary peer viscount, yet it still failed to recruit the Broken Star Sacred Swordsman Penaville . He is the kind of freak who can devote everything to martial arts . ”
On the Feisuo Plane, some peerless powerhouses, who pursued the pinnacle of cultivation, regarded fame and wealth as dung, after all . Most were Legend Wizards who pursued truth, but there was no lack of Sacred Swordsmen and powerhouses of other occupations .
Yang Feng smiled and said indifferently: “In this case, contact the 7 Sacred Swordsmen for now . If they are willing to become my retainers, then I’ll have a talk with them . ”
Cassius nodded, saying: “Yes! Master!”
An intense light flickered past Yang Feng’s eyes, and he said slowly: “Before that, let’s make a trip! Some things should be dealt with as soon as possible . ”
Cassius replied: “Yes! Master!”
In a luxurious inn not far away from Yang Feng’s villa .
Edith held Faldina in his arms, as he said sweet words .
Suddenly, with a bang, a foot kicked in the door to the room, shattering it and sending numerous splinters flying .
Dressed in security officer silver uniform with a silver sword embroidered below the right shoulder, sword of justice special force security officers broke in and occupied every strategic location in an instant .
A sturdy, eagle-eyed and hook-nosed middle-aged man with short blue hair and well-groomed two thin strokes of mustache stepped into the room, swept Edith with a glance, and said plainly: “Edith, you did well, you finally lured here the witch as His Majesty ordered . ”
Faldina was shocked greatly, as she stared at Edith with her beautiful eyes filled with incredulity .
Edith’s complexion changed dramatically and he shouted: “No, Faldina, you have to believe me! I didn’t betray you!! I really didn’t! I can swear on my life!!”
“It turns out that the 1st successor of the Hansen Family has colluded with the witch from the Titan Empire . In this case, Sir Dassault, I ask that you give His Majesty an impartial report . There are so many witnesses here, after all!” Following a soft laugh, Yang Feng slowly stepped into the spacious room, and looked at the embracing couple with a smile on his face .
Dassault was the middle-aged man with the well-groomed two thin strokes of mustache . He was also one of the 5 Sacred Swordsmen as well as one of the 5 tycoons of the sword of justice .
When he heard what Yang Feng said, Dassault locked his eyebrows tightly . He was well aware of the disturbance it would cause if Morrince 2,867th knew that the 1st successor of the Hansen Family colluded with the witch of the Titan Empire . If he handled this badly, the entire Hansen Family would face the risk of annihilation . He was a good friend of the Hansen Family, so he naturally couldn’t sit by and watch this unravel .
Dassault’s face sank, and he said coldly: “Earl Ian, the sword of justice is dealing with this case, so please be quiet . If you can’t keep quiet, then please leave!”
Yang Feng said with a meaningful smile: “Well, I’m here just to watch you handle this case impartially . Oh, by the way, His Majesty has officially appointed me as a court grand master . You can address me as Court Grand Master Ian!”
Dassault’s heart shook, and he went silent for a while .
For Yang Feng to become a court grand master meant that he could request an audience with Morrince 2,867th . At the same time, he was a member of the court of the Morrince Empire, served His Majesty, and had great power . So long as he didn’t made any mistake, Dassault had no right to drive him away .
Edith’s eyes turned bloodshot . He drew his sword, pointed at Yang Feng, and roared mournfully: “It was you! Ian, you sold us out!! You devil, fucking bastard!!”
Yang Feng took a few steps back, glanced at Edith, and said with a contemptuous smile: “Sir Dassault, it seems like I heard someone threaten me!”
Dassault’s eyes widened, and he barked fiercely: “Edith, don’t fool around . Capture the witch of the Titan Empire behind you! His Majesty judged her to be a criminal . Think of the Hansen Family!!”
“No, absolutely not!! I will never hand over Faldina!!”
His eyes bloodshot, Edith gave a roar of rage, channeled his pinnacle Star Knight rank qi, and had star-like sword rays light up, as he stabbed at Dassault .
Only by pushing Dassault, who was a Sacred Swordsman, could Edith and Faldina hope to escape this place .
When the frightening Star Knight rank qi burst out, a berserk hurricane rose in the room and crushed numerous furniture and ornaments .
“Fool!” Dassault’s eyes widened, then he roared, unsheathed his sword, and had an extremely brilliant sword ray light up amid the endless stars .
The endless stars were shattered and Edith was force back by a few steps by the frightening rebound .
Yang Feng praised: “Amazing! What exquisite swordsmanship! As expected of a Sacred Swordsman!”
Edith’s swordsmanship was a notch better than Yang Feng’s, yet when he displayed his swordsmanship to the full, it was broken just like that with a strike from Dassault’s sword . This meant that if Yang Feng met Dassault on the battlefield, his Demonic Fighting Sword Art would similarly collapse at the first blow .
Edith bit his lips and, like a madman, had countless star-like sword rays light up once more, as he stabbed at Dassault .
