When they saw Zhu Wushi, the six Celestial Realm warriors present were all stunned for a moment.
Especially the two members of the Azure Dragon Society, who looked at Zhu Wushi with a look of bewilderment in their eyes.
"Why is he back again?"
But the next moment, the old woman dressed as the palace mistress among the six spoke up: "Divine Marquis, the Emperor and the Third Prince are in the room. Save them."
Upon hearing the sound, Zhu Wushi's expression changed, and without thinking, he channeled his true energy and rushed towards the room filled with flames.
A moment later, Zhu Wushi rushed out of the courtyard carrying two charred, unrecognizable corpses.
The moment he put the body down, Zhu Wushi leaped up and roared, "Absorption Technique!"
The moment the sound left his mouth, Zhu Wushi's hands formed claws, and as his true energy flowed down, two powerful suction forces suddenly emerged from his hands, causing Ren Tianxing, who was fighting below, to abruptly stop.
Seeing this opportunity, the Celestial Realm warrior holding a gun in front of Ren Tianxing immediately let out a low shout, and the spear blade tore through space, pointing directly at Ren Tianxing's brow.
However, before the spear tip could pierce Ren Tianxing's brow, Ren Tianxing's body trembled slightly. With a surge of sword intent, he instantly broke through the suction force brought by Zhu Wushi and hurriedly raised his hand to slap away the spear blade.
After deflecting the spear blade, Ren Tianxing did not continue to attack. Instead, he tapped his toes and his figure flashed away quickly.
Seeing Ren Tianxing retreat, the other two Celestial Realm warriors wearing painted masks paused slightly before forcing back the person in front of them and quickly flashing away in different directions.
Seeing that the three had all retreated, the three Celestial Realm warriors in the palace did not immediately give chase, but instead flashed in front of Zhu Wushi.
When the three men's gazes fell upon the two charred and still smoking corpses on the ground, their expressions changed drastically.
"Dead!"
While the three men wore extremely gloomy expressions, Zhu Wushi asked with a solemn face, "Seniors, what exactly happened?"
.........
On the other side.
Led by Cao Zhengchun, Chu Qinghe and his companions slowly walked out of the palace gate.
Upon arriving at the palace gate, Cao Zhengchun said, "The matters inside the palace are not yet finished, so I will not see Young Master Chu off any further."
Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "It's alright, Eunuch Cao, please go about your business."
Upon seeing this, Cao Zhengchun exchanged a few polite words and then turned back into the palace.
In contrast, Chu Qinghe led the women slowly toward the location of the inn.
Back in the inn's courtyard, Xiao Zhao, sitting at the stone table, looked at Qu Feiyan, who seemed lost in thought, and asked curiously, "Feiyan, what are you thinking about?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan truthfully replied, "Judging from the situation in the palace today, things are just as Young Master predicted. Zhu Wushi wanted to drain the power of a Celestial Realm expert in the palace to advance to the Celestial Realm himself. However, Zhu Wushi is ultimately at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm. Once Zhu Wushi uses the 'Power Absorption Technique,' the Celestial Realm expert in the palace can't just sit idly by and let his power be drained, can he?"
In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "It's impossible under normal circumstances, but if there's a way to get a martial artist at the Heavenly Human Realm to actively inject their true essence into Zhu Wushi's body before activating the 'Absorption Technique,' then it can be done."
Chu Qinghe himself had cultivated the "Absorption Technique," so he was naturally familiar with some of its characteristics.
If one is prepared in advance, although the Absorption Technique is powerful, there are many ways to counter it.
However, if someone lowers their guard and actively injects their true essence or true energy into the body that has cultivated the "Absorption Technique", it means that they have lost the initiative.
Moreover, once the initiative is lost, it's useless to try to resist even if you realize it.
The more fiercely one resists, the faster one will lose their power.
This is why Chu Qinghe guessed that Zhu Wushi was planning to use the same method as the Southern Shaolin Temple when he discovered that there were four Celestial Realm experts in the palace, while the Azure Dragon Society only sent three.
Suddenly, Shuimu Yinji spoke up: "But that Celestial Realm expert is still a member of the palace. Zhu Wushi forcibly absorbed the power of that Celestial Realm expert in the palace by colluding with outsiders. Isn't he worried about the other three Celestial Realm experts becoming disloyal? Even if Zhu Wushi ascends the throne, I'm afraid the remaining three Celestial Realm experts in the palace won't serve him, will they?"
Faced with the question posed by Jellyfish Yin Ji, the other women thought about it carefully and also discovered the problem.
Immediately, everyone turned to look at Chu Qinghe.
Meeting the gazes of the three women, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "It was precisely because I didn't know that I left so early."
Qu Feiyan asked curiously, "Hmm? Young Master, have you guessed something?"
In response, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "Zhu Wushi is extremely ambitious. He joined the Azure Dragon Society because he was forced to do so due to his lack of resources. Now, after so many years of careful planning, given Zhu Wushi's character, it is impossible for him to be content to remain a puppet under the Azure Dragon Society forever."
"Since he dares to act this way, it's enough to show that Zhu Wushi is confident that after absorbing the power of that Celestial Realm expert in the palace in this way, he can still prevent the other three Celestial Realm experts from becoming dissatisfied with him. What do you think would be the best way?"
