Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The crown prince and envoy from Da Zhen were furious, trembling with rage, but unable to refute the claim.

Show respect?

What a load of bull! They clearly want to use this as an excuse to let Guan Tianshi die within Anping Princess's talisman formation!

It's because Da Liang harbors fear, afraid that Da Zhen possesses a talisman master like Guan Tianshi, who is on the verge of reaching the Fifth Realm.

Even though Anping Princess displayed talisman formation skills that seemed to far surpass Guan Tianshi's in today's competition.

However, today's competition was obviously suspicious.

How old is Anping Princess? Barely over a hundred years old. Even if she started cultivating in the womb, even if she specialized in the path of talisman formations, it's impossible for her to surpass Guan Tianshi in the realm of talisman mastery. Such a heaven-defying person has never existed in this world!

Today, Anping Princess must have used some unknown means in the talisman formation competition.

It's just that they can't produce any evidence. Although they believe it in their hearts, they can't prove it, and can only swallow their anger.

The Liang Emperor clearly knows the inside story, which is why he is wary of Guan Tianshi and wants to put him to death!

But now, Da Liang is insisting on giving Guan Tianshi sufficient respect.

Using this as an excuse, they won't allow them to concede defeat on Guan Tianshi's behalf.

On Da Liang's territory, they can only swallow this bitter pill again, unable to reverse the situation.

"Hopefully, Guan Tianshi can survive these three days…"

The crown prince and envoy from Da Zhen prayed in their hearts.

There's no other way now, they can only place their hopes on Guan Tianshi himself.

Hoping that his will is strong enough, and his life force tenacious enough, to pull through.

Once the three-day limit is up, according to the agreement, Anping Princess will have to withdraw the talisman formation.

At that time, if Guan Tianshi still has a breath of life, and returns to Da Zhen, there's a chance of recovery.

Such talent, as long as there's still a breath, a sliver of a chance of recovery, Da Zhen will do everything in its power to help him recover!

"Princess! Princess!"

Along the edge of the plaza, the citizens of the imperial city cheered, their faces filled with excitement and pride.

They now felt extremely proud and exhilarated.

In the beginning, when they learned that Da Zhen had sent Guan Cihu, who was on the verge of reaching the Fifth Realm, they were almost in despair.

Who could compete with a talisman master of that level?

It should be known that the strongest talisman master of the dynasty, Wei Zhan Tianshi under Prince Qin, his realm is only in the mid-Fourth Realm.

Wei Zhan Tianshi wasn't present, and the civil and military officials of the court were all silent, not daring to offer any suggestions, not daring to recommend anyone to fight.

Finally, under the emperor's anger, they all pointed the finger at Anping Princess.

The Princess and Guan Cihu are separated by a generation.

Guan Cihu has been immersed in talisman formations for thousands of years, while the Princess is only a hundred years old. Moreover, the Princess's main cultivation is martial arts.

How could the Princess compete with Guan Cihu, the strongest Tianshi of the four nations, in a talisman formation competition?

It was a guaranteed defeat, but unexpectedly, there was a shocking reversal.

The Princess's talisman formation was simply indescribably strong. In a short time, she made Guan Cihu collapse on the ground, his face filled with horror, foaming at the mouth.

So glorious, so incredibly glorious!

The Qin Prince's Mansion is indeed the pillar propping up the dynasty. Prince Qin is like that, and so is the Princess!

In the competition arena, screams filled with horror could be heard from time to time from within the talisman formation.

Everyone saw that Guan Cihu, the talisman master who was known as the strongest in the four nations, was now crawling and rolling on the ground inside.

He looked as if he was being chased by fierce ghosts all around him, his appearance was extremely wretched.

How confident he was when he appeared, how high his posture, how arrogant his words?

Compared to his demeanor when he appeared, it was simply two extremes.

How confident he was, how arrogant he was, how wretched he is now, how useless.

The people of the Da Zhen delegation had gloomy faces throughout the entire process.

Watching Guan Cihu scream and roll in the talisman formation, they trembled all over.

There was a blazing anger in their hearts, as well as the shame brought about by Guan Cihu's crushing defeat, and also the worry that Guan Cihu wouldn't be able to withstand three days and would die in the talisman formation.

Various negative emotions intertwined, bombarding them with negative emotions, making their hearts extremely uncomfortable.

How could this be?

Even now, the Da Zhen delegation, the Da Yan delegation, and the Bei Mang delegation have not figured it out.

This time, they came to the Da Liang Dynasty clearly prepared, having already considered all the possible situations they might encounter, and having made full preparations for them. They shouldn't have faced such a situation.

But who could have imagined that Anping Princess would have such heaven-defying means?

Obviously, Anping Princess alone could not have done it.

Anping Princess, from childhood to adulthood, has hardly left the Da Liang Imperial City.

Her growth process, everything about her, was under the close surveillance of the Liang Emperor.

They also had spies lurking in the Da Liang Imperial City, with a hidden intelligence network.

Neither their intelligence network nor the Liang Emperor's informants had ever discovered that she had such abilities.

Today's change mostly originated from Yuan Chu, the personally transmitted disciple of the Jinyun Supreme Elder!

They didn't know what talisman secret treasure Yuan Chu gave to Anping Princess.

As for how Yuan Chu would have such a secret treasure, it's not difficult to explain.

After all, he is a personally transmitted disciple of Jinyun. The Jinyun Immortal Sect is a top-level Dao lineage, high above, standing on the clouds. In the entire vast starry sky, in the endless land of life, they have a place.

Yuan Chu also possesses the unparalleled talent of a Sixteenth Grade, so he must be highly valued by the Jinyun high-level, and it's not surprising to have a secret treasure on his body for self-defense.

"Everyone, in the talisman formation competition, we certainly have no hope of winning."

"In the martial arts competition, we must kill this Yuan Chu here!"

"This is our best chance, and may be our only chance."

"Today's competition is a duel recognized by both sides."

"Therefore, Yuan Chu's identity as a personally transmitted disciple of a top-level Dao lineage will not become our shackles."

"In a voluntary duel recognized by both sides, even if we kill Yuan Chu in public, the Jinyun Immortal Sect has no reason to stand up for him."

"If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to have such an environment to kill Yuan Chu in the future."

"This person has the unparalleled talent of a Sixteenth Grade. Today, he has already formed a feud with us. It will be difficult for us to have a good relationship with him. He can only die for us to be safe, otherwise, the consequences will be endless!"

"That's for sure, you don't need to say it."

"Besides Prince Qin's Mansion and those commoners, who doesn't want Yuan Chu to die in the arena?"

"The Liang Emperor and the officials of Da Liang hope that he dies even more than we do."

"If this person is alive, as long as he is in Da Liang, the Liang Emperor's authority as the imperial ruler is just a formality."

"If he is unhappy, maybe he will go up and slap the Liang Emperor twice, and the Liang Emperor can only dare to be angry but dare not move."

"However, according to the current situation, this Yuan Chu probably has a secret treasure on him."

"I suspect that the talisman master from your Da Zhen's crushing defeat to Anping Princess was caused by Yuan Chu's secret treasure."

"Who can say for sure whether he has a martial arts secret treasure on him?"

"Before the martial arts duel, we must eliminate the threat brought by the secret treasure, and we must not let the secret treasure become a variable in the plan!"

"Hmm, that makes sense, that's exactly what I mean."

"When the time comes, before the duel, we will declare that no secret treasures are allowed to be used, and we can only fight with our own strength."

"Before the duel, we will use the rules to restrict his secret treasures to death."

"If Yuan Chu really has a secret treasure that can enhance his martial arts strength, will he agree easily?"

"You have also seen that his words and actions today are simply crazy to the extreme. If he disagrees, he will slap and kick you without any explanation!"

"Although Yuan Chu is very arrogant, he doesn't just hit people casually."

"Haven't you noticed that as long as you don't lie with your eyes open, or be sarcastic, he probably won't attack directly."

"When the time comes, we can use the glory and prestige of Prince Qin's Mansion to provoke him."

"Hmm, let's do it that way."

"The only ones in Prince Qin's Mansion who can fight are Qin Keqing and Qin Yu."

"Although Qin Yu is in the Creation Realm, he is not a match for the King of Heavenly Pride."

"Qin Keqing's talent is indeed outstanding, but her realm is low."

"If the information is correct, her realm is only in the Undying Realm, which is a huge gap compared to the Kings of Heavenly Pride in the Creation Realm of our three kingdoms."

"When the time comes, Yuan Chu can only take the stage."

"In order to prevent Prince Qin's Mansion from using Da Liang's troops, we must specifically express that we are dueling with the people of Prince Qin's Mansion, not Da Liang."

"In that case, Yuan Chu is likely to decide to fight three matches for the sake of Prince Qin's Mansion."

"You also know that martial arts secret treasures are different from talisman secret treasures."

"How much power a martial arts secret treasure can exert depends more on the realm and strength of the secret treasure user himself."

"Although Yuan Chu has the unparalleled talent of a Sixteenth Grade, he was originally from a loose cultivator background, and his realm was low when he entered the Jinyun Immortal Sect."

"Now, he may only be in the Eternal Life Realm. Even if he obtained a heaven-defying opportunity in the Land of Forgotten, his realm skyrocketed, and he would only be at the early stage of the Undying Realm at best!"

"That's right, with a whole realm separating us, even if he has the unparalleled talent of a Sixteenth Grade, even if he has a secret treasure on his body, he may not be able to compete with us Kings of Heavenly Pride who have just entered the Creation Realm."

"To take a step back, he can contend with one person at all costs, but can he contend with three people in a row?"

"No, he doesn't need to contend with three people!"

"Our talisman formation competition, three consecutive defeats are already the inevitable result."

"This means that in the second round of martial arts duel, Yuan Chu only needs to win one match, then our three kingdoms have already lost this competition."

"When the time comes, Yuan Chu will win one match, and propose not to compete anymore, and demand to directly judge the winner, which is also reasonable, and it will be difficult for us to argue."

"Aren't there still the Liang Emperor and the officials?"

"Their purpose this time is to kill Yuan Chu. The Liang Emperor will not agree to announce the end of the competition before Yuan Chu dies."

"As long as the Liang Emperor and our three kingdoms both disagree to end the competition, Yuan Chu can't force the end, right?"

"After all, it is a competition between Da Liang and our three kingdoms. He, a personally transmitted disciple of Jinyun, can't just make the decision, right?"

"That's true."

"Of course, this is the worst plan. The prerequisite is that Yuan Chu refuses to agree not to use secret treasures."

"If he agrees not to use secret treasures, then there won't be the following two matches. As long as he comes out to fight in the first match, he will surely die!"

The Great Zhen Crown Prince coldly communicated with the people of the three kingdoms using his divine sense.

In his pupils, there was intense hatred, filled with anger and baleful aura.

The humiliation of being slapped in public by Jun Wuxie made him unable to let go. He wished he could drink his blood, eat his flesh, and crush his bones!

"When the time comes, who will go up for the first match?"

"It depends on who the opponent is. If it's Yuan Chu, let this crown prince go first. This crown prince wants to personally end him!"

The Great Zhen Crown Prince's voice of divine sense was extremely cold, like a voice from the Nine Nether Hells, making people feel chills all over.

…

At the same time, around the square, in front of a window on the top floor of a building several streets away.

Two figures stood with their hands behind their backs, wearing gray robes and masks on their faces.

Those were not ordinary masks. Dao patterns were engraved on them, which could shield the prying eyes of pupil techniques, making it impossible to see through and discern the true appearance.

Of course, even the face hidden under the mask had been changed using secret methods, a double means of concealing their true identity.

They were now gazing at everything on the square.

"The Supreme Offering is truly fond of Yuan Chu.

With the Qin King Mansion's County Princess's ability, how could she possibly use a rune array to trap Guan Cihu to death? It's simply a fantasy!

There is only one reason that can explain it: it was Yuan Chu's doing.

Yuan Chu's methods must not have come from his own abilities.

I wonder what secret treasure the Supreme Offering gave him that could allow Qin Keqing to do such a thing!"

"Heh heh, who cares? Everything is no longer important.

Anyway, Yuan Chu is destined not to survive.

The Supreme Offering is not in Da Liang. The person hiding beside Yuan Chu to protect him should be someone sent by the elders of the sect.

The strength of the person sent by the elders will not exceed ours.

At that time, even if he really jumps out and forcibly interferes with the martial arts duel, he will not be able to succeed.

The ending is already destined.

After Yuan Chu dies, even if the Sect Leader finds out the truth and knows that we took action to stop his protector, he will at most punish us slightly.

After all, we didn't personally kill Yuan Chu.

Taking action to stop his protector from interfering in the fair duel is just to maintain the reputation of our Jinyun Immortal Sect. Everything is for the sake of the sect, isn't it?"

"Hahaha, the Sect Leader cannot refute this kind of statement.

Yuan Chu, you can only blame yourself for not knowing how to be grateful and choosing the wrong camp.

And also, you really don't know how to keep a low profile.

Thinking that you have the unparalleled talent of a sixteenth-grade, and have gained the attention of the Sect Leader and some elders, you will have a bright future. I can only say that you are naive and childish, daydreaming!"

The two laughed together.

When they learned that Yuan Chu was actually in Da Liang, they were shocked, but after a brief shock, they were overjoyed.

Originally, if Yuan Chu stayed in the sect honestly, there would be no chance to take action.

But he was good, he actually quietly left the sect and ran to the Da Liang Imperial City to help the Qin King Mansion.

It's really like drowsiness meeting a pillow.

They were really thinking about how to deal with him, but he created a must-die environment for himself.

…

In another building tens of thousands of feet away, there were also several people paying attention to what was happening in the square.

Compared to the Jinyun Immortal Sect's experts who came here to hide their identities, they were even better hidden.

These people were wearing blood-colored robes, and their eyes were extremely cold, even cruel.

They had a very strong aura of blood and killing intent, which was quite森冷.

However, they were hiding in the void, and at the same time, they restrained their own blood and killing aura within a foot, and could not be sensed by outsiders.

This group of people came from Floating World Three Thousand's assassins.

Floating World Three Thousand had been盯了君无邪 for a long time.

Since the assassination failed on the way from White Sand Ancient City to Jinyun Immortal Sect, in just a few days, people from Floating World Three Thousand had sneaked into Nine Dragons Imperial City and had been paying attention to Jun Wuxie's movements.

It's just that they didn't dare to show up in Nine Dragons Imperial City and its surrounding areas, let alone take action.

Once their aura erupted, it would be too sensitive. With the abilities of the Jinyun Sect Leader, he might be able to lock onto them in an instant.

It was impossible to complete the task of killing Yuan Chu under his nose.

So, they needed to wait for an opportunity.

Later, they saw that Yuan Chu was going to the Land of Forgotten, and originally planned to capture him near the Land of Forgotten.

As a result, the person leading the team in Jinyun turned out to be an old generation genius who had experienced the dark invasion, an elder-level figure.

With such a person present, it was impossible to succeed, so they had to continue waiting.

But they didn't expect that Yuan Chu would avoid their sight and run to the Da Liang Imperial City. It was really a godsend.

"We have to get closer, just in case.

If Yuan Chu encounters a life-threatening danger, and his protector comes forward to interfere because of the fair duel, we may not be in time!"

"Well, let's go then.

We must not let Yuan Chu die in Da Liang Imperial City.

His life belongs to our Floating World Three Thousand. Before we dig out the secrets related to the Great Tomb Fortress from him, he cannot die!"

…

At this time, in the square, the Liang Emperor and the delegation did not know that even the assassins of Floating World Three Thousand had come smelling the scent.

Now, all forces were eyeing Jun Wuxie covetously, some wanting his life, some wanting to capture him alive and go back to dig out the secrets from him.

Their purposes were different, but one thing was the same: their goals were the same.
