Upon hearing what the King of the Mountain said, everyone else looked surprised.
This banquet is not to thank Chu Sheng, but rather a trap.
"Uncle Wang, what are you doing!"
Li Wuji stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table.
State your thoughts clearly and directly.
"Master Chu, we're all sensible people, why pretend to be ignorant?"
"As long as you leave behind the Taiping Strategy and the Wordless Heavenly Book, I can spare your life."
Chu Sheng chuckled, picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. "Your Highness, you're being a bit hypocritical."
"Do you even believe what you're saying?"
"The mighty Prince Kao Shan, doing nothing but despicable things, like poisoning me. You think you can get away with this?"
"If I hand over the thing, you'll kill me to cover it up the next second, right?"
Li Wuji said, "You know I've poisoned you, so why don't you surrender?"
"This poison is called Qi Devouring Powder. It comes from the Poison Sect of the Northern Region. It is colorless and odorless. Those who take it will instantly lose their ability to move and will be unable to activate their true qi."
"Don't even think about struggling. Hand over the stuff and you'll avoid some trouble!"
Upon hearing this...
Li Anlan, Huo Zhan, and Ling Shuo tried to activate their internal energy, but all of them showed pain on their faces. Just as Li Wuji had said, they could not activate their internal energy and their bodies were limp and powerless.
"Uncle Wang, the Chu army went through countless hardships to deliver the supplies into the city. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world for treating him like this?"
Li Wuji laughed and said, "An Lan, you're still too young. People die for money, birds die for food. Wasn't he escorting the grain to earn money?"
"My desire for the Taiping Strategy and the Book of No Words is the same; such is the rule of this world."
"If you want to live in this world, you must abide by these rules."
"If he doesn't hand over the item to me, do you think he can leave Zhenyue City alive?"
"The city is full of powerful figures, each with their own martial arts background. They all covet the Nameless Heavenly Book. Blame yourself for getting involved with something you shouldn't have."
Chu Sheng remained calm and gently put down his chopsticks. "King Kao Shan, your fish tastes so-so."
He then looked at Li Anlan and continued, "Your Highness, you don't need to get entangled with him over this."
"King of the Mountain, didn't you say you were going to make a move? Then hurry up!"
"If you don't make a move soon, I'm leaving."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up abruptly, his true energy surging forth, and a terrifying Grandmaster-level pressure descended. King Kao Shan's expression changed drastically as he looked at Chu Sheng, who seemed completely unaffected.
Why is this happening?
He clearly drank poisoned wine, so why could he still release such a powerful Grandmaster-level aura?
"Call your help!"
"You've really gone to great lengths to seize this treasure."
Li Wuji looked at Chu Sheng in astonishment, "You already guessed that I was going to take action against you."
"No, I just found out!"
"I just discovered there are two more Grandmaster-level martial artists inside the Prince's mansion. What I mean is, you alone are no match for me. Call them over to come with you."
"I'm going to beat you all up."
This is so domineering it's almost arrogant.
"Chu Sheng, you want to fight three against one? That's a bit too arrogant." A sudden voice came from outside the Qunying Tower. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the withered monk holding a scepter, walking slowly over.
The Grandmaster's aura surged forth, clashing head-on with Chu Sheng.
Behind them was a man, dressed in white like a scholar, carrying a silver longsword on his back.
"Scholar's Sword!" Li Anlan recognized the white-clad swordsman. "Uncle Wang, don't make another mistake. You are no match for Master Chu."
Inside the Hall of Heroes, the most difficult task was for Li Anlan.
She knew Chu Sheng wouldn't be defeated, and she was furious at the foolishness of the Mountain King. Why did he have to attack Chu Sheng?
Chu Sheng killed him in a fit of rage. What will happen to the Eastern Territory?
The East cannot be without a powerful king, just as the West cannot be without Jerusalem.
With the death of the Prince of Kao Shan, the eastern border has lost its pillar. The enemy army of the Tang Dynasty will advance unimpeded, and no one will be able to stop them. At that time, the people will be displaced and homeless.
Earlier, Li Wuji had subtly inquired about Chu Sheng's strength, and Li Anlan had vaguely guessed something. She never expected that the scene she least wanted to see would still happen.
"Little Anlan, you should stay here obediently. I will personally escort you back to the capital after I have dealt with his affairs." Li Wuji looked at the withered monk and the scholar sword. "Don't underestimate this kid; he does have some strength."
"He killed Yuan Tianxuan on his way to Zhenyue City."
The withered-faced monk scoffed, "Yuan Tianxuan is just an ordinary grandmaster in the Tang Dynasty. Killing him is as easy as crushing an ant. Is that something to be proud of?"
He looked at Chu Sheng and said, "Young man, you've been poisoned and are at your last gasp. Are you sure you want to fight us?"
"Forcibly activating one's inner energy will cause the poison to attack the heart; even a god could not save one."
"Hand over the wordless book and the Taiping Strategy, and this old monk will grant you the antidote."
Chu Sheng laughed and said, "Who told you I was poisoned?"
As he finished speaking, he slowly raised his arm, the crystal-clear liquor dancing in his palm like sprites. "This little bit of liquor isn't even enough to rinse my mouth. You're too naive to think you can poison me."
Seeing this scene.
Li Wuji, the withered monk, and the scholar swordsman all showed expressions of shock. How terrifying and powerful was this true energy? It could actually force the poisoned wine out of the body. The three realized that they had underestimated Chu Sheng.
"He's not poisoned!" Li Wuji looked at the withered-faced monk, who replied, "Even if he's not poisoned, I'll still kill him!"
The scepter pierced the air and pointed directly at Chu Sheng, its powerful internal energy converging like a heavy cannon.
Chu Sheng remained as steady as a rock, unleashing a powerful punch to meet the scepter, his true energy surging forth like a raging sea.
A loud bang rang out, and the withered monk staggered backward, his head held high and his sinister eyes filled with horror.
A true expert's skill is immediately apparent when they make a move.
Both were grandmasters, and after a single exchange, the withered monk realized that Chu Sheng's strength surpassed his own.
Peak Grandmaster?
How could such a young boy possess such terrifying internal strength, far surpassing even his own? It was clear that Chu Sheng had held back somewhat earlier.
Is a man with sixty years of internal strength no match for the young man before him?
The monk Ku Rong had to admit that Chu Sheng was very strong, so he could only ask Li Wuji and the Sword Saint for help, boasting that the three of them could easily defeat Chu Sheng if they joined forces.
The three figures flew backward out of the pavilion, hovering in mid-air above the artificial hill, ancient trees, and pavilions in the courtyard, forming a pincer movement, intending to surround and attack Chu Sheng.
Inside the Qunying Building.
Chu Sheng did not rush to fight. He stepped forward to Li Anlan, Huo Zhan, and Ling Shuo. With a wave of his hand, his powerful true energy, as strong as the blazing sun, entered their bodies. The next second, white mist rose above the heads of the three of them.
A fine bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Alright, the toxins in your bodies have been cleared, leaving no trace."
With a wave of his hand, he used his internal energy to neutralize the strange poison in the three people's bodies. This method was simply miraculous. Li Wuji and the other two took in everything. In an instant, their expressions became unnatural.
This young man is frighteningly strong.
"Senior Ku Rong, how confident are you?"
Faced with the King's question, the monk Ku Rong was somewhat embarrassed. He had thought their plan was flawless, and that Chu Sheng, after being poisoned, would not be able to leave the palace alive.
Unfortunately, the strange poison was ineffective against Chu Sheng, and he couldn't say how much chance they had of winning if the three of them joined forces.
This moment.
Chu Sheng stepped forward, sword in hand. The Dragon Abyss Sword emitted a chilling light, and a faint dragon's roar emanated from its body. With this sword in hand, he felt invincible.
"He's a swordsman!"
The scholar's gaze fell upon the Dragon Abyss Sword in Chu Sheng's hand, instantly captivated by this divine weapon. "Such a divine sword exists in the world?"
