Chapter 706: His Highness Duke of Qin's reward (3) Original and most updated translations are from volare. If read elsewhere, this chapter has been stolen. Please stop supporting theft.

Lady Leng Yue wanted to kill herself, but Long Feiye never gave her the chance. Even if her sword was pressed right next to her body, Long Feiye’s blade was quicker and slashed across her throat in the sight of all spectators!

Lady Leng Yue couldn’t believe it. Even her last moments of dignity were stolen away. But more than that, she couldn’t fathom why Bai Yanqing really hadn’t shown up to save her. She crumpled to the ground with wide eyes that refused to shut from the injustice. She had always considered herself the most clear-minded person in the City of Daughters, but perhaps she had never been truly sober until this moment. Now she regretted bringing such disaster to her city.

Long Feiye allowed her to fall before turning to face the crowd. In a cold voice, he declared, “Anyone who dares to kidnap people from my Duke of Qin’s estate will face this fate!”

Silence greeted his words. Who could believe the sight? Within three moves, Long Feiye had killed Lady Leng Yue, who hadn’t done more than attack once. Everyone had assumed that it would be a large, chaotic battle between the two that lasted for days, but here were the results. Lady Leng Yue, the city lord of an entire city and the iron maiden of the assassination world, had died within the time it took to brew a cup of tea by the blade of a member from the junior generation.

How could anyone accept that?

Leaving aside the City of Daughters, even the outsiders were flabbergasted. They refused to believe that Lady Leng Yue had died just like that, much less that Long Feiye’s internal energy reserves were so vast! All of them had one question on their minds: when did Long Feiye get so strong?

That’s right!

When did Long Feiye get so strong? Everyone had been paying attention to his movements in the political sphere that no one had bothered monitoring his martial arts. Most of them had even forgotten that he was the sword sect master’s closed door disciple! And yet, he’d grown in strength all the same. If Long Feiye were to show his true strength one day, where would he place in that list of high-level elders?

Would Carefree City’s Qi Zonglin, the Tang Clan’s Tang Zijin, or even Celestial Mountains’ Cang Qiuzi be a match for him?

As the silence stretched on, no one dared to move. Despite this, Long Feiye paid them no mind. He pointed his sword at the City of Daughters’ gates and declared coldly, “People in the city, listen well! Those who submit before your lordship’s blade, stay! Those who object, die!”

The stunned faces of the assassins atop the wall instantly recovered their wits. In the next second, there was an uproar. The various sisters of the Leng Clan broke out into wails and charged, Leng Bingling leading the pack. Leng Shuangshuang and the rest were close in her wake, all of them flying down the city walls to avenge their mother.

“Long Feiye, I’ll kill you!”

“Long Feiye, you dared to kill my mother. I’ll tear you to pieces!”

“Long Feiye, the City of Daughters will never forgive you!”

Long Feiye used move to stop the first, Leng Bingling, with his blade against her neck. Seeing this, the rest of her sisters froze. Even the wildest emotions found reason in the face of reality. Even the saddest sorrows found calm in the face of death.

The victor was a king over bandits who earned the right to live while they died. This too, was the destiny of all assassins. Since they’d lost, they could only bow their heads without complaints.
