A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World Chapter 602: The Righteous Sword, Li Feng.

"According to the information I received through my channels, Li Feng was... the last person confirmed to have remained alive in the capital during the disaster."

At those words, Fen Yinzhi’s expression hardened.

For a moment, he said nothing.

Then, he subconsciously leaned toward the chair, his fingers slowly tightening around the armrest as a trace of fear appeared in his eyes when that memory resurfaced.

That terrifying sea of fire.

The flames had swallowed everything around him.

He remembered watching the people around him turn into pillars of fire, their screams disappearing beneath the roaring flames.

He remembered buildings collapsing one after another, their ruins disappearing into the inferno.

He remembered the sky turning completely red, as though the entire capital had been dragged into the depths of hell.

The First Prince’s breathing became slightly heavier.

That had been the most painless yet terrifying experience he had ever endured.

Painless because, despite everything, he had somehow survived.

Terrifying because he had never understood why.

Even though he had ended up alive, he knew that... there must have been some terrifying existence and power at play.

And if Li Feng had truly survived until the very end...

Then perhaps that man knew something about the disaster that no one else did.

And he himself must be extraordinary to have survived that burning disaster.

Fen Yinzhi slowly looked toward Consort Bai Ming Rui.

"Mother... You mean..."

Consort Bai Ming Rui’s expression became serious as she nodded.

"Do not provoke that fellow."

She paused.

"And if possible, we should try to establish a relationship with him."

Fen Yinzhi remained silent.

Consort Bai Ming Rui continued.

"Li Feng is an Envoy of the Azure Moon Sect. That alone makes him valuable. But you should understand what that means in the current situation."

"The moment the succession war begins, every prince will start looking for powerful allies. The Imperial Court, the military, wealthy clans, and even the great sects will all become pieces on the board."

Her gaze sharpened.

"If one of your brothers manages to gain the support of the Azure Moon Sect while you become their enemy..."

She left the rest unsaid.

And Fen Yinzhi’s expression darkened.

That possibility was enough to make him understand the seriousness of the matter.

Bai Ming Rui continued.

"And Li Feng is not merely an ordinary disciple. But that is not even the most important part."

Fen Yinzhi looked at her.

Then Bai Ming Rui’s expression changed slightly.

"If Li Feng truly had something to do with the resurrection..."

Her voice lowered.

"...then his value may be far greater than we imagined."

Fen Yinzhi slowly nodded as he understood the meaning behind his mother’s words.

If Li Feng truly knew something about the resurrection, then he was no longer simply just an Envoy of the Azure Moon Sect.

He was a source of information.

And in the coming Imperial Succession War, information could be just as valuable as strength.

Fen Yinzhi’s eyes narrowed.

"Then we need to make sure he stands with us."

Bai Ming Rui smiled faintly.

"Exactly."

She looked at her son.

"But remember this."

Her voice became cold.

"Do not approach him as though you are trying to use him."

Fen Yinzhi paused.

"Why is that mother?"

"Because someone like Li Feng will not be easy to control."

Bai Ming Rui’s eyes glinted.

"If you want him on your side, make him believe that standing with you is his own choice."

Fen Yinzhi’s expression became thoughtful.

His mother had already begun thinking several steps ahead.

The succession war had not even started, yet she was already considering how to secure one of the most unpredictable pieces on the board.

And perhaps that was why she had survived in the Imperial Palace for so many years and risen.

Seeing the understanding in her son’s eyes, Consort Bai Ming Rui smiled faintly.

Her goal was not simply to warn Fen Yinzhi about Li Feng.

She also wanted him to realize that being the First Prince did not mean he could afford to let his guard down or become overconfident.

In the coming succession war, even the smallest mistake could cost him everything.

And at that moment,

Consort Bai Ming Rui smiled and reached into her sleeve.

She took out a neatly rolled scroll and handed it to Fen Yinzhi.

"I have already done some digging. And I found out quite a few interesting things about this Li Feng fellow."

Fen Yinzhi looked at her before taking the scroll.

He slowly unrolled it and began reading through the information inside.

His expression gradually became more serious as he went through the details.

Li Feng’s background.

His movements.

His relationships with the Azure Moon Sect.

The various incidents surrounding him.

And even some of the people he had interacted with.

Yet the more Fen Yinzhi read, the stranger his expression became.

’This is...’

Consort Bai Ming Rui watched him quietly with a faint smile as she spoke.

"From what we have gathered, Li Feng is not someone who blindly follows orders."

"He has his own ambitions, his own principles, and most importantly, he seems to value people who treat him... sincerely."

Bai Ming Rui’s smile deepened.

"And that is why I believe having him on our side may not be as difficult as you think."

Fen Yinzhi slowly looked up from the scroll.

There was a strange look in his eyes.

"Mother..."

He hesitated for a moment before asking,

"Are you sure this... information is accurate?"

Bai Ming Rui raised an eyebrow.

"Why would I give you information that has not been confirmed?"

"But..."

Fen Yinzhi looked down at the scroll again.

His expression became even stranger.

"This..."

He looked back at his mother.

"Is all of this really true?"

Bai Ming Rui gave a small nod.

"It is."

She paused before adding,

"I had to use several of our secret channels to confirm some of these details. Some of the information was difficult to obtain, and I had to pay quite a considerable price to verify it."

At those confirmation, Fen Yinzhi’s mouth twitched.

He looked at the scroll again.

Then back at his mother.

For some reason, he still looked unconvinced.

After all, the Li Feng he had heard about was completely different from the person described in this scroll.

According to the rumors, Li Feng was a young genius of the Azure Moon Sect.

Powerful.

Mysterious.

And, from everything Fen Yinzhi had heard, Li Feng was also a rather righteous person who couldn’t stand injustice or see ordinary people suffer.

In fact, people even gave him a rather fitting title.

The Righteous Sword, Li Feng.

With all those rumors surrounding him, Li Feng was truly the embodiment of justice.

But this information...

Fen Yinzhi slowly lowered the scroll.

If he had to summarize everything written here in a single word, only one word came to mind.

...Pervert.

And not just any pervert.

A shameless one at that.
