Qin Chuan glanced at the booklet, which had the three large characters 'Illusionary Body Technique' written on it. It was clearly a part of the Illusionary Sound Technique, the supreme divine skill of the Illusionary Sound Workshop.

Don't you want to owe me a favor?

Qin Chuan shook his head and smiled.

He never expected to win over the Empress's favor directly; this back-and-forth was already a good start.

Qin Chuan put the illusionary body technique into his arms and disappeared into the wind.

In Luoyang, after quickly treating his injuries, Zhu Yougui couldn't wait to go to Qin Chuan's courtyard.

He suspected that the mysterious swordsman was Qin Chuan.

But when he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Qin Chuan lying leisurely in a rocking chair, resting with his eyes closed.

Not far in front of him, Chang Haoling and Chang Xuanling each struck a strange pose, practicing their internal energy cultivation.

"Why is the Underworld Emperor in such a sorry state? Could it be that he was injured by Prince Qi, Li Maozhen?"

Qin Chuan stood up and looked at Zhu Yougui with feigned surprise, his acting skills were worthy of an Oscar.

"It wasn't Li Maozhen, but a mysterious swordsman."

Zhu Yougui deliberately emphasized the words "swordsman" while stealing glances at Qin Chuan's reaction.

"It's such a pity to miss out on such an opponent!"

Qin Chuan looked regretful, but secretly smiled to himself.

Zhu Yougui was seriously injured, yet he still forced himself to come and test him; it was truly remarkable.

Zhu Yougui couldn't see any flaws in Qin Chuan's defenses, so he could only temporarily set aside his doubts.

He thought that as long as he asked Qin Chuan, the Black and White Impermanence, about his movements just now, everything would come to light.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the Black and White Impermanence had no intention of being his dogs.

"Brother Qin, I have come here today to discuss important matters with you."

A fierce glint flashed in Zhu Yougui's eyes as he brought up another matter.

His plan to hunt down the Prince of Qi failed, his dream of becoming the crown prince was shattered, and he finally couldn't resist taking action against the Ghost King Zhu Youwen.

"As long as Brother Qin agrees, if I become emperor one day, I will surely grant Brother Qin a fiefdom and allow him to become a king!"

Zhu Yougui was full of sincerity and painted a very big picture for Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow, pretended to think for a while, and then said in a deep voice:

"The Underworld Emperor has the bearing of an emperor; I will surely follow him!"

Zhu Yougui laughed heartily, and at that moment, even the knife wound in his chest seemed to hurt less.

"Zhu Youwen, relying on his father's favoritism, is arrogant and doesn't take me seriously at all!"

Zhu Yougui said coldly:

"However, since I am his elder brother, I will spare his life."

His plan was to have Qin Chuan take advantage of Zhu Youwen's seclusion to suddenly subdue him and then imprison him forever.

"The Underworld Emperor is kind-hearted."

Qin Chuan shook his head inwardly.

Even at this point, Zhu Yougui is still pretending to be a good older brother.

If he could be as ruthless as Emperor Taizong of Tang in killing Zhu Youwen, I might think more highly of him.

"I will transfer Zhu Youwen's men away; the rest is up to Brother Qin."

Zhu Yougui told Qin Chuan the location of Zhu Youwen's secluded chamber, gave him a few more instructions, and then left in a hurry.

His injuries were quite severe this time, and if he doesn't receive treatment soon, he may develop chronic conditions.

"Rest assured, Underworld Emperor, I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Qin Chuan watched Zhu Yougui leave and smiled.

The Five Kings of Hell died at his hands, and soon Ghost King Zhu Youwen will also be leaving the stage. Zhong Kui, who is loyal to Ghost King, will definitely leave the Xuanming Sect.

The Water and Fire Judge was Zhu Wen's man, and his relationship with Zhu Yougui was superficial.

Zhu Yougui appears to have eliminated dissidents and completely taken control of the Xuanming Sect.

In reality, he and Shi Yao were about to sideline him.

What expression will Zhu Yougui have on his face when he discovers that the Xuanming Sect has become a branch of the Bad Guys?

Qin Chuan lay back in the rocking chair and quietly began to read the Illusionary Body Technique.

Yuan Tiangang did not teach him any lightness skills, after all, this bad leader walked as if he could teleport, so there was no need for him to use any lightness skills.

The illusion technique given by the Empress perfectly compensated for Qin Chuan's deficiency in this area.

In just half a day, he mastered this lightness skill and his speed became unbelievable.

At this time, Zhu Yougui also sent someone to inform him that everything was ready and it was time to make a move against the Ghost King Zhu Youwen.

Qin Chuan took a step and, as swift as a phantom, emerged from the courtyard in a few breaths.

Even the Black and White Impermanence, who were diligently practicing in the open space by the door, were completely unaware!

Chapter 15 Subduing the Ghost King and Taking Control of Xuanming

Inside the secret chamber at the headquarters of the Xuanming Sect.

Ghost King Zhu Youwen is currently practicing the Nine Netherworld Profound Heaven Divine Art.

The Nine Netherworld Profound Heaven Divine Art was jointly created by Jiang Chen, the leader of the Four Corpse Ancestors, and the Underworld Emperor Zhu Yougui.

It is divided into two volumes: the first volume, "Nine Netherworlds," and the second volume, "Mysterious Heaven."

To cultivate this divine skill, one must study both volumes simultaneously.

If one only cultivates one of them, one will not reach the highest level, and there is a great chance of going astray and becoming possessed by evil spirits.

The Underworld Emperor Zhu Yougui became a dwarf because he skipped the Nine Nether Chapter and forced himself to cultivate the Profound Heaven Chapter.

Zhu Youwen was exceptionally talented; even without cultivating the Xuan Tian Chapter, he still managed to cultivate the Jiu You Chapter to its peak.

At this moment, he was only one step away from the realm above the Great Celestial Rank.

Once Zhu Youwen takes this final step, he will become an unparalleled master and qualify to become the number one martial artist in the world.

Of course, this title of "Number One in the World" is limited to the present era and excludes Yuan Tiangang.

"Number one in the world!"

Zhu Youwen was so engrossed in the joy of his impending breakthrough that he was completely unaware of the impending crisis.

Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the stone door of the secret chamber.

The voice was extremely soft, but to the ears of the Ghost King Zhu Youwen, it was utterly detestable.

"Didn't I say that no one is allowed to disturb my seclusion, no matter what?"

Zhu Youwen frowned and snorted coldly.

"King Liang will soon ascend the throne, and has come to summon the Ghost King."

The person outside the door said softly.

"Father..."

Zhu Youwen sighed helplessly.

He had no desire to fight for power or profit, not even for the throne.

His pursuit was to become the best in the world and reach the highest level of martial arts.

Unfortunately, his father was determined to groom him as his successor.

Zhu Youwen reluctantly got up and opened the stone door to the secret chamber.

There was no one outside the door.

He was slightly taken aback when he heard a sharp whistling sound.

Dozens of silver needles pierced straight in, enveloping Zhu Youwen.

"act recklessly!"

Zhu Youwen swung his arms, unleashing a burst of powerful Netherworld True Qi, attempting to block all the silver needles.

To his surprise, these silver needles were exceptionally effective against internal energy, even ignoring his Nine Nether True Energy!

laugh!laugh!laugh!

Dozens of silver needles pierced through his body and were driven into major acupoints all over Zhu Youwen's body.

His internal energy was frozen, rendering him unable to move. He could only roar in frustration and anger:

"Who plotted against me!"

"Your people have all been sent away, so no matter how much you yell, it won't do any good."

Qin Chuan appeared before Zhu Youwen as if by magic.

"It's you! What kind of martial arts is this? How can you ignore my protective Yin energy?!"

Zhu Youwen stared intently at Qin Chuan, his eyes practically spitting fire.

Despite his anger, what he cared about most at that moment was the martial arts technique Qin Chuan used.

He's a true martial arts fanatic.

"Huayang Acupuncture Technique".

Qin Chuan didn't dislike Zhu Youwen, so he satisfied his curiosity.

Huayang acupuncture was originally an acupuncture technique invented by Bian Que, a legendary physician during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Later, Yuan Tiangang improved it into a martial art that combined medical and combat abilities, and it was most effective at suppressing internal energy.

If Zhu Youwen had known the intricacies of the situation, he certainly wouldn't have chosen to confront it head-on, nor would he have been so easily defeated by Qin Chuan.
