Chapter 216: The Three Heroes of Chongqing Gather

"Big brother!"

"Second brother?"

Yan Nantian was surprised to see Jiang Feng here. "What are you doing here?"

"I delivered a batch of goods to the Wu family in Shu, then toured Chengdu. I heard your news as I sailed down the river and came looking for you." Jiang Feng replied, then turned to the other burly man, whose stature was comparable to Yan Nantian's. "This must be the renowned hero Lu Zhongyuan. I am Jiang Feng!"

Lu Zhongyuan abruptly stood up and supported Jiang Feng, who was about to bow. "No need for formalities. You are Yan Nantian's younger brother, so you are my brother as well!"

His arms and palms were steady and powerful, hanging in the air without the slightest tremble. Just from these simple actions, one could discern the profound martial arts skill of the man before them—he was undoubtedly a top expert.

Jiang Feng raised his head and saw Lu Zhongyuan's rugged features, bright eyes, and straightforward expression.

Lu Zhongyuan: (:

Jiang Feng: (:

Their eyes met, and they knew that this was someone who could truly be Yan Nantian's friend. No wonder he had been betrayed and killed by Jiang Yulang.

"Brother Lu," Jiang Feng said with a slight smile, exuding grace and elegance.

"Brother Jiang!" Lu Zhongyuan burst out laughing and pulled Jiang Feng to sit at the table. "Boss, bring us some wine!"

"Looks like I don't need to make any introductions," Yan Nantian said with a smile. "I knew you two would hit it off."

"A month ago in Jingzhou, I heard that you were tracking one of the Twelve Zodiac members," Jiang Feng said.

"That dragon committed a major crime in Xiangnan and killed five or six escorts and the deputy chief escort of the Yuanjiang Escort Agency," Yan Nantian said, his tone turning somber. "Unfortunately, I arrived too late. I pursued them all the way, but couldn't find any trace of them."

"Don't be sad or discouraged," Jiang Feng said, patting Yan Nantian's arm encouragingly. "As long as they continue their crimes without stopping, they will eventually meet their downfall."

Yan Nantian understood the implication of 'downfall' and couldn't help but laugh. "It won't be easy to make them fall."

"It's quite easy, actually," Jiang Feng nodded. "I killed Si Chenke and Hei Mian Jun."

"What?!" Yan Nantian exclaimed, his face full of astonishment.

Lu Zhongyuan also turned back in surprise, looking at Jiang Feng with disbelief.

The Twelve Zodiac had been dominating the martial arts world for several years. They were famous, highly skilled in martial arts, elusive, and difficult to trace. They were the most formidable villainous group in the martial arts world.

Many heroes like Yan Nantian and Lu Zhongyuan had been searching for them for a long time, and quite a few experts had lost their lives to them. However, not only had the Twelve Zodiac not suffered any losses, but they had also never even made a mistake.

But now, Jiang Feng claimed that he had killed Si Chenke and Hei Mian Jun?

"What happened?" Yan Nantian asked in a low voice, a bit worried, and then he reacted as he realized that his second brother's martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds, "That rat and tiger aren't here, are they?"

Among the Twelve Zodiac, the strength of their members varied, but it was commonly acknowledged that the strongest were the Rat, Wei Wuya; the Tiger, Bai Shan Jun; and the Dragon, Long Jun.

As for Long Jun, he had been active in the Sichuan and Chu regions recently, so it was obvious that he couldn't have come north to Yunhan.

"They're not here," Jiang Feng smiled. "Some time ago, the Wu family in Shu needed a batch of red goods. At that time, the Twelve Zodiac was operating along the Yangtze River, and no escort agency dared to take the job. So I took on the secret delivery, but they still found out about it."

Upon hearing this, Yan Nantian laughed, "But they didn't expect your martial arts to have improved so much."

"It was a case of turning their own scheme against them," Jiang Feng spread out his hands, "Si Chenke had five people with him. If I hadn't launched a surprise attack, I might not have been able to take them all down.

Yan Nantian nodded in agreement, not finding anything amiss. "Second brother, you are careful and thoughtful in handling matters."

Jiang Feng was left speechless. "Brother Yan, aren't you the type to admire those with a strong sense of righteousness? You spared Jin Yanshan and Du Sha, and I was prepared to debate with you about it, but now you're being a hypocrite?"

"So, after making a big circle around Shu, you plan to return via the Yangtze River?" Yan Nantian asked.

"Yes," Jiang Feng nodded.

Yan Nantian's eyes flickered with a plan. "Since that dragon has disappeared without a trace, we won't be able to catch up to him now. I'll accompany you back."

Lu Zhongyuan laughed as well. "It's been a while since I last visited the Yunhan-Jiangnan area. It'll be a nice trip."

Jiang Feng was touched by their words. It was clear that Yan Nantian and Lu Zhongyuan were worried about him being targeted by the rest of the Twelve Zodiac for revenge, and they intended to protect him for a while.

However, men often didn't speak their feelings aloud. Although Jiang Feng knew that the Twelve Zodiac might not seek revenge together due to their differing opinions, he wouldn't dismiss Yan Nantian and Lu Zhongyuan's kind intentions.

"Great! When we reach the area around Jingzhou and Hankou, that's my territory." Jiang Feng smiled, "Also, I met a heroic fellow in Chongqing Fu, and I'll introduce him to you along the way."

"Chongqing Fu?"

"Are you talking about Shi Yangtian, the Alliance Chief of the Yangtze River Alliance?"

"Haha, yes! What a coincidence. I saved his son's life near Yichang, and that's how I became connected to the Yangtze River Alliance. From now on, the Jiang family's business along the Yangtze River will be safer." Jiang Feng laughed.

Yan Nantian and Lu Zhongyuan couldn't help but chuckle at his words.

They were all heroic figures running their own businesses, and although they had long admired Shi Yangtian from a distance, they had never actually met him.

So, the three of them left Luzhou and boarded a passenger ship, heading straight for Chongqing Fu.

...

Chongqing Fu, the headquarters of the Yangtze River Alliance.

When Shi Yangtian learned that the number one swordsman in the world, Yan Nantian, the heroic Lu Zhongyuan, and the talented Jiang Feng were visiting, he immediately displayed his light body technique and arrived at the front gate to welcome them.

"Senior Shi, please forgive our abrupt visit," Jiang Feng said humbly.

"Hahaha! Young friend Jiang is too polite. Your presence here illuminates our humble alliance!" Shi Yangtian laughed heartily, reaching out to grasp Jiang Feng's hand. "I heard that you killed Sima Yan in Chengdu Fu, and your sword techniques are divine. I look forward to witnessing your prowess later."

"With my big brother and Lu brother here, please don't praise me so highly. I can't take the credit," Jiang Feng said with a bitter smile.

Upon hearing this, Yan Nantian and Lu Zhongyuan were both surprised.

"Sima Yan?"

"You killed Sima Yan as well, little brother?"

Jiang Feng could only nod. "The first time we met, I didn't know who he was. The second time, he not only tried to kill me but also revealed his identity. I had no choice but to take action."

Yan Nantian patted Jiang Feng's arm with a relieved smile. In the past, he had always been concerned about Jiang Feng, but after their journey to the north and Jiang Feng's recent victories over Si Chenke, Hei Mian Jun, and now Sima Yan, he could finally rest easy.

Soon after, Shi Yangtian invited the three guests into the headquarters, offering them fine wine and delicious food as a warm welcome.

Yan Nantian and Lu Zhongyuan were both straightforward and generous in nature, and Shi Yangtian was known for his fairness and integrity as the Yangtze River Hero. With Jiang Feng's introduction, the four men quickly became fast friends, drinking and chatting merrily.
