When the Crown Prince suffers this blow, his prestige will surely plummet.
Furthermore, given that Zhao Ruizhi is an idiot, the possibility of him succeeding as emperor is even greater.
The first thing I will do after I become emperor is to take Princess Jin into my harem.
Well, the Crown Princess is actually quite nice too. She's even more beautiful, and what's most captivating is the air of superiority she always exudes. It would be very interesting to conquer her.
However, his/her identity is a problem.
He'll first force her to become a nun and move into the palace nunnery, then he'll have a chance to get her...
A series of wonderful images flashed through his mind, and his smile stretched almost to his ears.
Just then, a series of exclamations rang out in the arena. He was startled, looked up, and was completely dumbfounded, his smile freezing on his face.
Because Zaun stood still and was unharmed.
He didn't even raise his hand, just letting those spells bombard him.
However, when those colorful lights of different elements approached within a few feet of Zu An, they were as if they were sucked into an invisible black hole in the void, and could no longer be seen.
Everyone was stunned; all of this was completely beyond their comprehension.
Many quick-witted individuals have even begun to retreat involuntarily.
Zuan sighed, "Cultivators are inherently defying the heavens, and it's understandable that they use various means to acquire cultivation resources. But some people strive for fair trade, while you choose to be their dogs. You've lost your spirit; what kind of path are you cultivating!"
I've met some independent cultivators before, like the wealthy layman Ding Run. Although he was an assassin, he didn't become a subordinate of powerful people like they do. Instead, he accepted missions on an equal footing, and at least his personality and spirit were intact.
Many of these people are even more powerful than Ding Run was back then, but none of them will go as far as he did in the future.
Upon hearing his words, many people looked thoughtful, but they quickly realized what he meant and turned to run away.
What a joke! Even though the King of Dai's rewards are generous, you still need to be alive to enjoy them.
Zuan didn't make things difficult for them. Strictly speaking, he was also a rogue cultivator, so why should he make things difficult for these pitiful people struggling in the mortal world?
Seeing Zu'an approaching step by step, the Prince of Dai panicked: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, save me!"
At this moment, Zu An's heart stirred, and he looked to the left front. He saw a man in black robes slowly walk out of a room. The light around him seemed to be distorted by his aura, becoming somewhat obscure.
At this moment, his cultivation level seems to be at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, a master of the Qi Po realm.
"Your Highness, don't panic. Although this young man seems intimidating, I have already seen through his true strength. He is not as powerful as he appears," the man in black robes reassured the Prince of Dai.
"Then kill him quickly!" The Prince of Dai was almost in tears. His men usually boasted that they were experts, but when it came to a real fight, they were either instantly killed or fled in the face of battle.
From the very beginning, before they even saw Zuan make a move, their retainers had already scattered and been wiped out.
Mr. Xu, don't you think you'll end up like those people?
However, considering the other party's identity and background, the Prince of Dai gradually calmed down.
Actually, Mr. Xu is the number one independent cultivator in the manor; the fat monk from before was just the number one on the surface.
This Mr. Xu has a special identity. He committed heinous crimes in the martial arts world back then, and it took the imperial court many experts to capture him.
He was about to be executed in the imperial prison, but he managed to rescue the other person.
To repay a debt of gratitude, or perhaps for a sanctuary and the cultivation resources of the royal palace, he has been stationed deep within the palace for years, helping them deal with some thorny issues.
When he first arrived at the manor, even his protector, Elder Chen, was eager to test his skills against him.
The match ended in a draw.
Afterwards, Old Chen confessed to him and Chan'er that he was no match for Mr. Xu. The other party only held back because he was the protector sent by the emperor to the Prince of Dai and had a special status in the mansion.
It is estimated that the opponent only used 50% of their strength.
He and the Princess Consort were curious, and afterwards they secretly asked Mr. Xu about it. The man proudly said that he had only used 30% of his strength in the competition.
In a true life-or-death struggle, Chen Lao would be killed within three moves; if it were a sneak attack, one move would suffice.
The King and Queen were both surprised and delighted, never expecting to recruit such a top-notch expert.
"Your Highness, please calm down." The man in black robes looked at Zu An. "Boy, your act may have fooled others, but it won't fool me. I've been observing you for a long time and I can tell that you only possess something like an energy absorption technique, which is why you were able to easily subdue Fat Monk and absorb the attacks of those rogue cultivators."
“Unfortunately, I also know this secret technique. I see that your technique is somewhat similar to mine, so it seems that our techniques have some connection,” a sinister smile flashed across the black-robed man’s face. “But that is your tragedy, because this kind of technique has the characteristic of the big eating the small. When facing a higher level technique, you are almost powerless to resist.”
"So in front of me, you are no different from a child, and you are not even as much of a threat to me as those rogue cultivators."
I had to go out this morning, so I'm posting this early.
