In the instant his body froze, Li Chunfeng, who had just started moving, had already moved to Chu Qinghe's side.
However, the old man didn't even glance at Li Chunfeng, instead focusing his gaze on Chu Qinghe.
Looking at Chu Qinghe, who was looking at him nonchalantly, the old man felt a chill in his heart that only intensified.
Upon realizing that the chill he felt was coming from Chu Qinghe's fixed gaze, the elderly man was filled with both shock and fear.
The fact that this elderly man was standing next to Xia Zhenghong was enough to tell his identity.
The elderly man was none other than Sun Tianzhen, one of the masters of the Great Xia Dynasty whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Void Breaking Realm. He was known as the "Hand of Ten Thousand Slaughters".
His experiences and existence are far more legendary than Bai Wansheng's.
Even if they were at the same level, Bai Wansheng wouldn't dare say he had the slightest chance of winning against Sun Tianzhen, let alone the fact that Sun Tianzhen's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Void Breaking Realm.
His strength can be described as "unparalleled" across the entire land of China.
But now, just the sight of Chu Qinghe and the lock of his aura were enough to make Sun Tianzhen feel his hair stand on end. How could Sun Tianzhen not be surprised?
Looking at Chu Qinghe, who was holding a folding fan and fanning himself lightly in the distance, Sun Tianzhen pondered for a moment, then flashed back behind Xia Zhenghong and looked at Chu Qinghe warily.
After Sun Tianzhen returned to his side, Xia Zhenghong clearly realized what was happening.
He immediately said in a grim tone, "Li Chunfeng, how dare you betray the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Not to mention Xia Zhenghong, Xia Qizhen's expression also darkened slightly.
Meeting the gazes of Xia Zhenghong and Xia Qizhen, Li Chunfeng said slowly, "A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. My Guigu Sect has been enslaved by the Great Xia Dynasty for thousands of years. As the sect leader of Guigu Sect, I naturally do not want my Guigu Sect to continue to be hidden from the light of day under the Great Xia Dynasty in the future."
Xia Zhenghong sneered, "Oh? You think you can rely on just those few people around you?"
When asked by Xia Zhenghong, Li Chunfeng gently shook his head and did not reply.
Seeing this, Xia Zhenghong's face darkened and he was about to speak again.
Before Xia Zhenghong could speak again, Sun Tianzhen's voice suddenly rang in Xia Zhenghong's mind.
“Your Highness, this young man’s strength is unfathomable and may be no less than mine. He is probably a reclusive master who has been hiding from the world. If it were any other time, it would be fine, but now that the Third Prince is still around, I’m afraid someone else will become the one to benefit from it.”
Xia Zhenghong's expression changed slightly in response to Sun Tianzhen's words.
Xia Zhenghong was naturally aware of Sun Tianzhen's cultivation level and strength.
The strength of someone who can make Sun Tianzhen so wary is self-evident.
Xia Zhenghong did not doubt what Sun Tianzhen said.
As the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, he possessed extraordinary insight.
With Xia Zhenghong's knowledge, he was naturally able to know the many strange and wonderful things in the world.
Whether it's some special elixirs or some special martial arts, they are enough to allow some martial artists to maintain their youthful appearance even if they live for more than a thousand years.
Naturally, in Xia Zhenghong and the others' eyes, Chu Qinghe and his group in the distance also belonged to this category.
After glancing discreetly at Xia Qizhen and the others in the distance, Xia Zhenghong took a deep breath and suppressed his dissatisfaction.
Seeing that Xia Zhenghong had suddenly quieted down, Xia Qizhen felt a little puzzled and looked at Chu Qinghe and the others with a more wary look in his eyes.
"I am Xia Qizhen of the Great Xia Dynasty. May I ask your identity, senior?"
In response to Xia Qizhen's question, Chu Qinghe waved his hand and said, "No rush."
"Um?"
Faced with Chu Qinghe's response, Xia Qizhen frowned, a sense of confusion rising in his heart.
After responding to Xia Qizhen, Chu Qinghe did not speak again, but simply stood quietly in place, gently waving his folding fan.
Seeing Chu Qinghe's actions, Shuimu Yinji and Yaoyue, among others, understood perfectly well what he was doing.
After exchanging a glance, they could both sense a hint of helplessness in each other.
Some things will not change as one's strength increases.
Take Chu Qinghe's style of doing things, for example.
In the past, when my strength and cultivation were not high, I liked to use poison as a precaution.
Even now that his cultivation has reached the peak of the Void Breaking Realm, he still likes to use poison when encountering people or situations.
They are so steady that they don't give others any chance at all.
Here, after the formation was dispelled and his figure was revealed, Chu Qinghe did not speak, but waited quietly.
After a full quarter of an hour, seeing that Chu Qinghe hadn't said a word, Xia Zhenghong couldn't help but frown and ask, "What is the meaning of your actions, Your Excellency?"
When asked by Xia Zhenghong, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "It's nothing, I'm just waiting for an opportunity."
Finally, Chu Qinghe paused for a moment before continuing, "Well! It should be about time now."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhenghong, Xia Qizhen, and the others were stunned for a moment, as if they hadn't been able to react.
But the next second, Sun Tianzhen and other experts at the Breaking Void Realm suddenly felt their true essence and spiritual energy disappear as if sinking into the sea.
Upon noticing this, Sun Tianzhen's expression changed.
"Oh no, this person has poisoned us."
As he spoke, Sun Tianzhen circulated his true essence and spiritual energy to try to expel the toxins from his body.
The other martial artists at the Void Breaking Realm had the same expression as Sun Tianzhen.
It should be noted that even experts like Sun Tianzhen, who are at the Void Breaking Realm, experienced a rapid loss of their true essence and spiritual energy under the influence of this poison, let alone Xia Zhenghong, Xia Qizhen, and others.
