In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 220 Nine Ugly Corpse Heavenly Net Technique, Azure Lotus Secret Treasure

"Qiu Shiliang, you invited me here, but you won't show yourself. What's the reason for this?"

Wang Shouchang stepped into the Xianju Palace, his gaze sharp, scanning the surroundings.

The hall was empty.

Only the flickering candlelight, as thick as a child's arm, illuminated the vast Xianju Palace.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge alchemy furnace.

This alchemy furnace was used by the Li family members for alchemy and has not been opened for over a hundred years.

No one touches it anymore, and now it's covered in dust.

Wang Shouchang knew that Qiu Shiliang must have some ulterior motives.

But he came anyway.

So what if I wanted to kill him?
Wang Shoucheng also wanted to kill the other party.

You can't find opportunities normally, but now, they've come to you on their own.

Let's just kill him right here in the Immortal Abode Palace...

Wang Shoucheng sneered.

He had unparalleled confidence in his own abilities and in his control over the court.

"Qiu Shiliang! Get out here and see me!"

A sharp shout echoed through the hall.

After a long time, no one answered.

Wang Shoucheng frowned.

"Tack, tick, tick..."

The slow, deliberate footsteps finally appeared.

A man dressed in the same purple eunuch robes as him appeared.

This person had two wrinkles on the side of his nose that resembled the Chinese character "风" (wind), and his cheeks drooped down to his chin, making him appear extremely gloomy under the light.

Wang Shoucheng sneered: "Qiu Shiliang, you finally dare to show yourself."

"huh huh huh huh……"

Qiu Shiliang let out a strange laugh.

He carried a wine pot in one hand and two glass cups in the other.

"Wang Shoucheng, you and I have known each other for a long time. We are both incomplete people, and we shouldn't be fighting each other."

"But unfortunately, the powerful people want us to compete with them. In the end, no matter how powerful we are, we still have to depend on them."

"You've gone too far."

Wang Shoucheng's chubby face twitched slightly, and he sneered, "You summoned me here just to spout this nonsense?"

"Of course not."

Qiu Shiliang chuckled sinisterly, "I'm just impatient to keep fighting with you; it'll only make me a laughingstock."

"Since we are both born with innate abilities, why don't we drink a toast today and go all out? The winner lives, the loser dies!"

As he spoke, he flicked his hand, and two glass cups flew out, hovering in mid-air and spinning rapidly.

With a surge of internal energy, the wine shot out like an arrow into the cup.

The two cups collided, and one of them flew back, which he caught in his hand. The cup was full of wine, not a drop spilled.

Another cup shot towards Wang Shoucheng.

Wang Shoucheng simply hummed softly, and a gentle, yin-like aura enveloped the glass cup.

It seemed to be embedded in the air, without spilling a single drop.

Qiu Shiliang emptied his cup of wine and laughed, "What? Afraid I'll poison you?"

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

"You? My true form is already immortal and indestructible. Even if you are poisonous, what can you do to me?"

Wang Shoucheng reached out, took the glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

His face immediately darkened, and he threw down his wine glass with a sharp, piercing screech.

An astonishing aura suddenly erupted.

The entire imperial city was shocked.

With a flick of his wrists, nine red ropes shot out, faster than lightning.

They come and go, appearing and disappearing in an instant.

In an instant, it became like a net covering the sky and the earth.

Wherever it passed, plumes of black smoke followed.

They turned the celestial palace into a ghostly realm.

Qiu Shiliang's eyes narrowed, and suddenly he transformed into wisps of purple smoke, flying along the red rope without ever getting a single strand of it on him.

The two exchanged blows in the blink of an eye.

They then returned to a standoff.

Qiu Shiliang said in a deep voice, "The Nine Ugly Corpse Heavenly Net Technique?"

"The dignified Daoist Yin Fu Jing has been refined by you into something so eerie and sinister."

Wang Shouchang's expression also turned grim: "Purple smoke transforms into shadows..."

"So it was you who stole the secret treasure that Li Qinglian left in the palace!"

He wasn't just doing it because of this incident, but also because the wine really was poisoned!

He had considered the possibility of poison, but he never imagined that there was a rare poison in the world that could even break through his Nine Ugly Corpse Body!

"Without further ado!"

Wang Shoucheng's hands jerked, and the red rope shot out again.

He knew that Qiu Shiliang was trying to delay him and cause him to be poisoned, so he would never let him have his way.
far away.

Chen Lingguan hid in a corner, watching all of this with trembling eyes.

He was even careful with his breathing.

He dared not look at, nor could he see, the earth-shattering battle before him.

All I could see were red ropes, black smoke, and wisps of purple smoke.

There wasn't even a shadow of a person in sight.

Is this the innate master of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

He's probably even stronger than a titled martial artist!

He should have reached the level of a grandmaster by now, right?!
I don’t know how much time passed.

There was a loud bang, followed by a sound like an earthquake shaking the mountains.

After a few breaths, all was quiet, and no more sounds could be heard.

Chen Lingguan cautiously poked half his head out.

They discovered that the two had already appeared outside the hall, more than a hundred feet away.

His body was enveloped in purple and black aura.

The two-colored energies seemed to be maintaining a stalemate while simultaneously eroding each other.

Chen Lingguan noticed that although Wang Shoucheng's complexion was not good, and it was multicolored, the black qi was slowly advancing and expanding.

The person opposite him was bleeding from his face; he was clearly at a disadvantage.

He's finished!
Chen Lingguan recalled the little eunuch who had delivered the message earlier, and Xie Lingxin outside the palace.

Wang Shoucheng was most likely lured here by someone.

He wanted to kill Wang Shoucheng?!
Upon realizing this, Chen Lingguan's eyes widened in astonishment.

He dares to scheme against someone like that?!

Don't kill!

But seeing these two figures, who are like gods to ordinary people, fighting to the death and ending up in this state, one can't help but feel incredulous.

When did he become capable of doing something like this?!

Two masters actually fought like this because of him?
Knowing beforehand that he could kill a sixth-dan martial artist was already unbelievable enough.

It's only been a few days, and he's already starting to manipulate the life and death of grandmasters...

Chen Lingguan was deeply shocked.

Wang Shoucheng's black aura was about to overwhelm the person opposite him.

Chen Lingguan's eyes flickered.

If this chief eunuch survives tonight, he'll likely face the wrath of this grandmaster...

Xie Lingxin, oh Xie Lingxin, I asked you to save me and you wouldn't, now your life is in my hands...

Fight!

After tonight, I owe you nothing!
Chen Lingguan knew perfectly well that a struggle of this magnitude was beyond his control.

If things go wrong, it could be completely destroyed.

But thinking about how Xie Lingxin was constantly improving and had already reached a height that he could only look up to in a short period of time.

Chen Lingguan felt a surge of resentment.

Even if I'm never as good as him in the future...

At least...at least...

At least I can face you with a clear conscience!
It opened its mouth and spat out a drum.

Legendary treasure, the Cloud Thunder Heavenly Drum!
With a hop, the four little legs jumped onto the drumhead.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, Qiu Shiliang and Wang Shoucheng were fighting with their fundamental blood energy and physical strength, which was like their lives hanging by a thread, making it extremely dangerous.

Anyone who makes even the slightest mistake will die on the spot.

Suddenly, a sound of drums and thunder was heard.

A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck Wang Shoucheng on the head.

With their cultivation levels, let alone this snake-like lightning, even if it were lightning from the sky, it wouldn't be able to harm them at all.

But things are different now.

The lightning bolt caused a slight disruption to Wang Shoucheng's qi and blood, giving Qiu Shiliang, who was already at a disadvantage, an opportunity.

The purple aura suddenly erupted, instantly turning the tide of the battle.

"Internal Prime Minister!"

At that moment, a shout rang out, and figures flashed by.

"Minister! I'm here to help you!"

A man flew in, sword in hand.

When Wang Shoucheng saw the person who had arrived, he was immediately overjoyed.

Zheng Zhu!

His most trusted and beloved general!

Qiu Shiliang, you're dead!

"Humph!"

The sword light was as sharp as a thread, even faster than the lightning from before.

In an instant, it pierced a person's throat.

It was not Qiu Shiliang, but Wang Shoucheng.

Wang Shoucheng's eyes widened, and he made a strange gurgling sound in his throat.

"you you……"

He got it.

If anyone in this world could use poison to break his Nine Ugly Corpse Body.

The only one left is his trusted and beloved general, who is unparalleled in medical and poison skills and knows him intimately!

Zheng Zhu drew his sword, and the blade spun.

A head fell to the ground instantly.

"Your Excellency, please don't blame me..."

Looking at the corpse, Zheng Zhu's face revealed a sinister excitement.

The mountain that had been weighing on his head has finally been toppled!

From now on, who can stand in his way?
That little Prince Jing?
Hey, how can a powerless brat be qualified to command him?
I glanced at the little dog next to me.

His eyes gleamed with an unusual light.

Although that little beast failed to harm Wang Shoucheng in the slightest, it did distract him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to show himself and make a move.

How could there be monsters here?
His eyes flashed when he saw the small drum next to the beast.

Just as he was about to kill him, his ears twitched.

"Eunuch Qiu, someone's here!"

The two quickly slipped away from the spot.

Chen Lingguan took off running to Wang Shoucheng's body and picked up something.

A graceful figure stepped into the room.

"Lion Slave, so you've come here."

Chen Lingguan's body stiffened.

Again!
His master was Princess Yan'an!

"You little thing, with your tiny body, you could easily be stepped on and killed. How dare you run around like this all the time? What would you do without me?"

Princess Yan'an ignored the two pieces of corpse beside her.

He picked up the pug and slowly left the place.

……

"It's done!"

Upon seeing Qiu Shiliang and Zheng Zhu appear, Xie Lingxin, Li Xun, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"A Kangguo dog who can play the drum?"

After hearing Qiu Shiliang and Zheng Zhu's account of the events, they were naturally terrified.

But the Kangguo dog that appeared last surprised them all.

He looked at Xie Lingxin.

He thought to himself: Could this also be part of Prince Jing's plan?
Xie Lingxin also felt extremely strange.

Kangguo dog? Isn't that just a lapdog?
A small drum that can make thunderclaps?
According to Zheng's description, this seems to be a thunderous heavenly drum.
He had used it when he saw that kid Chen Lingguan at the mountain god temple in Wangcai.

Thinking back to the strange messages this kid had sent him before, and his hesitant and evasive manner, he couldn't explain himself clearly.

Could it be...

The thought that he might have been reincarnated as a lapdog almost made Xie Lingxin lose her composure.

Seeing his expression, Li Xun and the others immediately realized that it was indeed he who had arranged it.

He couldn't help but feel a secret shock.

How could it be calculated so meticulously without any omissions?

Even in the palace, there are his pawns, and one of them is a demon?
"Woo——"

Suddenly, a whistle sounded.

Song Shenxi's expression changed slightly: "That's the alarm siren of the palace guards. The battle just now was too noisy. Your Highness should leave this place first!"
