Chapter 243: Wangqing Palace Attacks

Chapter 243 Wangqing Palace Attacks

"Little Chenzi, you think you can play with your Master? You're still too green!"

Qin Xuan casually brushed the dust off the bottom of his robe, a wicked smile playing on his lips as he watched Zhou Chen rise from the ruins.

Perhaps it wasn't his intention, but the attributes of Child of Luck subtly influenced Zhou Chen.

He was 'transformed' into a 'die-hard' who would die for a friend.

Doing it intentionally is not good.

Those who exert a subtle, insidious influence, like Zhou Chen, are the hardest to guard against.

But who is Qin Xuan?

That's a villain who poops in the outhouse with his face facing outwards!

That's all there is to it; you can easily grab it and hold it in your hand.

The Stone of Gods and Demons was never his to begin with. Why not return it to him and make Zhou Chen grateful?

Furthermore, regarding his help to Empress Mingyue, he has now thoroughly offended the Ziyang Imperial Family.

Now that he can't really compete with the Emperor, Empress Mingyue can still bring him endless benefits.

If he doesn't help Empress Mingyue, the Daughter of Luck, who is he going to help?

In the blink of an eye, the two extremes are reversed!

" Master, it feels like the knot in my stomach has been cleared by your kicking. I feel like I can break through. " Heavenly Human Realm is now at level four!

Zhou Chen, who had been kicked away by Qin Xuan, instead of feeling relieved, ran back with a look of ecstatic joy, clutching his lower abdomen, unable to contain his happiness.

Qin Xuan, without any shame, took all the credit for Zhou Chen's good fortune, saying, "With your mindset already at this level, I'm just adding fuel to the fire. Go through the Breakthrough."

Over the next few days, Zhou Chen went into seclusion and successfully broke through. Heavenly Human Realm Quadruple.

After his breakthrough, he dared not slack off in Cultivate, playing Mountain-Shaking Fist even more diligently, sweating profusely every day.

Qin Xuan was naturally busy with his own affairs. During the day, he accompanied Ning Waner to investigate information about Wangqing Palace.

I would comfort Ning Waner from time to time, chat with her occasionally, and crack a few jokes.

Even though Ning Waner often had a stern face, it unconsciously brought the two of them closer.

At night, Qin Xuan became even busier, working even harder than Zhou Chen.

Whether it was due to Zhou Chen's use of the term "teacher's wife" or not, Scarlet Thorn would often come to Underworld Princes Mansion to hear Zhou Chen call her "teacher's wife."

Then Qin Xuan pulled him into the bedroom, where they conducted a targeted investigation into the difficult points in the information about Wangqing Palace, filling in any gaps in their understanding.

Over time, Qin Xuan felt his energy waning day by day.

It's like overworking your brain, causing your body to become exhausted!

That night, it was dark and windy, with the shadows of the trees swaying gently.

Scarlet Thorn shuddered, a warm current flowing through her body, as if it had already begun to flow out.

Breakthrough!

Saint Realm!

call--

Scarlet Thorn was panting heavily, her flushed, beautiful face showing both a longing for fresh air and an incredulous shock.

"Did I break through?"

" Breakthrough to Saint Realm?"

“These past few days, I clearly haven’t used Cultivate, yet I can feel the Holy Power within me growing stronger day by day. Tonight, I actually successfully broke through to the Saint Realm?”

Recalling her past experiences, Scarlet Thorn discovered that her absurd guess had actually come true.

She and Qin Xuan After Dual Cultivation, the Yuan Power within the body, and even the Holy Yuan Power, will increase dramatically!

It was something that allowed her to break through Saint Realm's barrier without any hindrance!

Qin Xuan, whose gaze was unusually clear, quickly regained his usual wicked charm. He gently stroked Scarlet Thorn's damp temples and said, " I've already cultivated the skill of breaking through barriers to perfection. There's no need to be surprised."

His Chaos Hongmeng Body destined everything within him to be extraordinary.

Moreover, the " True Dragon Precious Technique " Major Achievement grants him a physique like that of a True Dragon, which is highly beneficial for women.

Given these multiple factors, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the best cultivator for the Daughter of Luck.

"Don't leave tonight, get some rest. You came in the dark all day and are leaving before dawn. People who don't know you are Zhou Chen's teacher's wife, but they might think you came here to steal a man."

Qin Xuan casually placed his hand on Scarlet Thorn's ample bosom, jokingly offering words of advice.

Scarlet Thorn hesitated for a moment, then shifted her body slightly, moving closer to Qin Xuan, and let out a barely audible murmur, "Mmm..."

Just as the two were cuddling, a loud noise erupted inside Underworld Kings Mansion.

——

Zhou Chen was fast asleep on his bed when a sharp dagger pierced his throat. Bloodline was passively activated, and the totem of gods and demons instantly covered his body.

He reached out, gripped the sharp dagger, and kicked out with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Bang!

The assassin, dressed in black, clenched his fist and threw a punch, sending Zhou Chen flying like a shrimp over the wall.

"assassin!"

"An assassin!"

The guards inside Underworld Princes Mansion were unusually few tonight; the few guards who were there barely managed to call out were slit in the throat by their colleagues.

The remaining dozen or so guards, together with the assassin Dao, attacked Zhou Chen.

The strongest of these guards was Saint Realm, who was no match for the assassin.

However, Zhou Chen is only at the fourth level of Heavenly Human Realm, which is to use God-Demon Power.

It would also be difficult to compete with Saint Realm.

Not to mention the collaboration between Saint Realm and several other companies.

In just a few rounds, he was covered in blood and engaged in a desperate battle.

"court death!"

In the far distance, Ning Waner rode a rainbow of light, speeding towards them. The aura of a quasi-emperor was merely a faint expanse of Qi, which Saint Realm could not withstand.

The overwhelming pressure forced the assassins and traitors, who had been standing in mid-air, to their knees on the ground.

In Ning Waner's rage, just as the assassins were nearly crushed to death, Zhou Chen hurriedly shouted, "Leave them alive!"

Meanwhile, the three-story ancient prison-suppressing tower also sheltered the assassin within its protective barrier.

"Those who conspired with assassins to kill Your Highness deserve to die, but their entire families should be exterminated!" Ning Waner was furious.

Tonight, she happened to discover information about Wangqing Palace and has just personally set out to investigate.

Who would have thought that an assassin would come to kill Your Highness?

Crucially, there's a traitor inside Underworld Kings Mansion!

If something were to happen to Your Highness, even if she were to atone with her death, it would be impossible to make up for the loss to Mingyue Imperial City and the debt she felt in her heart.

“These people and the assassins all have strange eyes! They’re so blank!” Zhou Chen noticed the abnormality in some of the acquaintances and also noticed the assassins’ strange behavior. “These are probably assassins from Wangqing Palace. These guards didn’t betray us; they were manipulated by Wangqing Palace during the shift change. The assassin, too, was manipulated.”

Zhou Chen looked at Qin Xuan, who had appeared, and exclaimed in surprise, " Master Qin, is that someone you know?"

The answer to why Master Qin would use the small tower for protection is obvious.

Qin Xuan nodded slowly, and with a casual wave of his hand, the black hood covering the assassin's eyes fluttered away in the wind.

Qing Ning's pretty face was exposed to the air.

However, this time Qing Ning was neither as willful and capricious as before, nor as gentle and accommodating as she had become after getting to know Qin Xuan.

Her eyes were icy cold, like a frozen surface of ice, without the slightest ripple.

Even if Qin Xuan were here, he wouldn't turn his head to look at them even once.

"That wretched old woman! What a vicious and treacherous scheme!"

"She's trying to sow discord between me and Master Qin; she wants to turn us against each other!"

" Wangqing Palace is actually that old woman's power base!"

"No wonder Father Emperor was never able to completely eradicate her. It turns out that old woman was a spy within the royal family!"

Zhou Chen was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged and his eyes were bloodshot.

At this point, everyone who knows the cause and effect of the matter can guess that the mastermind behind Wangqing Palace, who has been investigated for so long, is both far away and right in front of us!

It was Dowager Concubine, the highly respected mother of the Prince of Jin whom Zhou Chen killed!

"That old woman, she deserves to die!"

As Zhou Chen roared and howled, Qing Ning, freed from the oppressive restraints, stepped forward again with a cold gaze.

Like killing machines, they relentlessly charged towards the barriers of the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

Despite his bones breaking from the impact, he still charged towards Zhou Chen fearlessly.

Ignore the barriers in front of you that could lead to your soul flying away and your spirit scattering!
