We Were Only Joking!
At this moment, the entire imperial court of the Great Liang Kingdom was deathly silent!
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Chu Xinghe, who was standing there.
Wei Wuji is no longer even a person; there's not even a corpse left...
That sudden bolt of lightning instantly reduced Wei Wuji to ashes...
At that moment, everyone saw Chu Xinghe lightly tap his finger in the air, and the next moment a small sword flashing with purple lightning slowly flew to Chu Xinghe's front!
At this moment, even if all the court officials in the Great Liang Kingdom were fools, they would know that this was none other than the legendary divine sword Thunder Shadow from the Haotian Sword Casket!
Purple Lightning Flash —that's a super finishing move that even Chu Xinghe himself couldn't withstand!
Why is Xie Yue of the Evil Shadow Continent called the First Holy Son?
And he's the universally acknowledged First Holy Son?
That's because although Xie Yue destroyed the Five Gods Towering to Heaven back then, Xie Yue also relied on the Five Gods Towering to Heaven to withstand five fatal Purple Lightning Flash for himself!
Let alone the current Evil Shadow Continent, even if all the geniuses of the Four Continents were brought out, who the hell dares to say they could withstand five of Chu Xinghe's Purple Lightning Flashes and still survive?
Therefore, even after the merger of the Four Continents, the value of the Xie Yue is still rising rapidly.
Even after the Four Continents merged, some young prodigies from the other Three Continents, dissatisfied with the situation, went to challenge Xie Yue...
The result speaks for itself: Xie Yue is still the number one Holy Son of the Evil Shadow Continent to this day, which should tell you what the outcome is!
Xie Yue was speechless at the challengers from all sides...
Xie Yue declared, "If I can't handle Chu Xinghe, I can certainly handle you guys!"
When I, Xie Yue, fought against Chu Xinghe had a cheat code!
You'll only realize when you fight against me, Xie Yue, that I, Xie Yue codes!
I lost to Chu Xinghe simply because my cheat codes weren't as powerful as his!
What the hell are you guys?
Although Xie Yue's Five Gods Towering to Heaven was destroyed, don't forget Xie Yue's identity. The Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord would definitely do anything to restore Xie Yue's Five Gods Towering to Heaven.
Therefore, once the Five Xie Yue Five Gods Towering to Heaven are restored and their power is unleashed, it will still be a combined attack from several Xie Yue. In such a situation, it's truly not something an ordinary person can withstand.
Among the younger generation of the Four Continents, many believe that Xie Yue's prestige was inflated simply because other Holy Sons had fallen one after another.
But they all seemed to have forgotten that the first battle Xie Yue faced was not against Chu Xinghe, but against the prodigy of the Ming Clan!
Are the prodigies of the Ming Clan something to be trifled with?
Almost all the prodigies of the Ming Clan were wiped out by Xie Yue alone. What kind of combat power is that?
Later, Xie Yue's opponent was Hua Xichen. If Hua Xichen hadn't used the Sage's Descent, Hua Xichen would probably have died at Xie Yue's hands.
That's Hua Xichen, hailed as the number one Hua Xichen of the Spirit Beast Continent... and he got completely humiliated by Xie Yue!
Therefore, those who think they are capable of challenging Xie Yue are, in Xie Yue's eyes, simply insane!
The reason I, Xie Yue, can't beat Chu Xinghe isn't because I, Xie Yue, am not capable enough, but because Chu Xinghe is too damn overpowered!
But what are you little Calomis?
At this moment, as the Thunder Shadow crackling with purple light slowly flew towards Chu Xinghe finally burrowed into his arm, almost everyone in the Great Liang Kingdom's court went completely blank!
No one doubted that the Chu Xinghe before them was an imposter...
The reason is very simple... In the Four Continents today, if you ask for the Haotian Sword Casket, wholesalers can deliver ten million pieces to you in a single day without any problem.
Even the light effects of those Haotian Sword Casket, if judged solely on their visual effects, might be more intense than the lightning effects we just witnessed!
But don't forget... Wei Wuji is a Peak of the Ninth Rank...
A bolt of lightning struck, and a Peak of the Ninth Rank was reduced to ashes without even uttering a sound.
In this situation, besides Chu Xinghe's genuine Haotian Sword Casket, which wholesaler's Haotian Sword Casket has this kind of power?!
If there really is a wholesaler who can produce this thing, Ouyang Ming said, "Come on, come on, I'll give you the title of the number one Divine Craftsman, and I'll shine your shoes from now on!"
So now everyone knows that the person who just claimed to be Chu Xinghe from the Vast Heaven Holy Land... he really is Chu Xinghe!
Everyone was now staring at the princess sitting on the throne with expressions of terror!
All the court officials of the Great Liang Kingdom exclaimed that it was just a joke... Your Highness... no... Your Majesty, you see, this is a huge misunderstanding... If you had told us yesterday that the two you brought back were Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang from the Vast Heaven Holy Land, then why hold a grand court assembly today... why not just hold your coronation ceremony directly...?
Furthermore, if the Imperial Advisor had known yesterday, he wouldn't have needed to die today... He's probably busy today arranging for the lanterns to be hung crookedly for Your Majesty's coronation ceremony...
At this moment, all the court officials were truly dumbfounded... Who the hell spread such wild rumors yesterday?
What, they're saying Her Highness the Princess brought back two fakes?
You guys call this counterfeit?
To be honest, many court officials couldn't believe it when they heard the news of the princess's return yesterday.
Do you guys even want to hear what you're saying...? Her Highness is back?
Do you know what kind of pursuit Her Highness is facing?
Even the golden-armored knights and countless experts perished, and the princess, a mere Second Rank official, returned alive? Even Black Sha, the most famous white-haired storyteller in Haotian City, wouldn't dare to fabricate such an outrageous story!
You're telling me the princess survived with her head?
But at this moment, after confirming Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang's identities, everyone realized... there was nothing wrong with it...
With these two around, even if Her Highness were Second Rank official... or even a negative second- Second Rank official, she wouldn't be in any danger whatsoever...
With these two protecting her, who the hell could possibly harm the princess in the slightest?
So this all makes sense. No wonder so many people heard that Her Highness was last seen in Tuyang Town...
After that, there was no further news of the princess...
This puzzled many people; shouldn't the assassin have continued the pursuit?
If they caught up with her, regardless of whether they killed the princess, there should at least be some news coming back. But why is there no news afterward?
It wasn't that the assassins weren't pursuing her, but rather that these two were staying close to the princess. Did any assassin have a chance to strike?
Wei Wuji, Peak of the Ninth Rank, was arguably the person in the entire Great Liang Kingdom who most wanted the princess dead. And what happened...?
Faced with Chu Xinghe's Purple Lightning Flash, he didn't even last a second before turning into ashes...
This is not Chu Xinghe's limit; it is merely the limit that Wei Wuji can withstand!
So in this situation, who the hell could possibly harm Her Highness?
Looking at the gazes of the entire court, Yue Ling was completely bewildered...
By this time, Yue Ling roughly knew what had happened...
I... Zhao Yue Ling, accidentally spent three hundred spirit stones... and hired the real Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang...
You might not believe it... Ma Liang spent 295 spirit stones... while Chu Xinghe only spent five spirit stones...
Yue Ling realized she might never have the chance to tell anyone this in her lifetime, because she wondered if anyone would believe her if she said it out loud.
Did I, Yue Ling, use five spirit stones to have Chu Xinghe escort me all the way back to the Great Liang Kingdom?
Would a storyteller dare to make up such a story?
Yue Ling didn't know how others were reacting at that moment, but Yue Ling did know why there hadn't been any assassinations since she hired those two people...
It wasn't that there were no assassination attempts... All the illogical and unexpected things I encountered were actually not unexpected. If it weren't for these two people, each of those situations would have been a sure-fire kill!
However, those seemingly insurmountable traps were easily resolved by these two... and even turned into laughable jokes!
Yue Ling didn't know if others could laugh, but Yue Ling couldn't laugh at all, because Yue Ling knew very well that every seemingly funny thing concealed a deadly intent!
It turns out that the so-called tonic wine in the Meng Lineage Restaurant was not a tonic wine at all, but real poison, and Meng Er died because he drank his own poisoned wine...
But no matter what kind of poisonous wine it is, would it have any effect on Chu Xinghe, the second-best alchemist in the world?
What the heck? You're asking why Chu Xinghe is the second-best alchemist in the world? Don't ask... the number one in the world is the Grand Elder!
The subsequent bloody battle between the Meng Lineage and the mysterious man seemed like revenge against the Meng Lineage, but in reality, it was also orchestrated by these two people behind the scenes.
After that, all sorts of unbelievable things happened, and it was these two who were behind it all...
Thinking of this, Yue Ling felt not only touched, but also... embarrassed...
There's no way around it... I hired Chu Xinghe for five spirit stones... The crucial problem is, I still want three back...
And the other three pieces I promised to give them... I didn't forget... I just wanted to renege on my promise...
Looking back now, Yue Ling really felt embarrassed...
After all, hiring Chu Xinghe for five spirit stones was something Yue Ling could brag about for the rest of her life, whether others believed it or not, it was the truth!
At this moment, Yue Ling looked over at Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang. The next second, Yue Ling found that Ma Liang was looking at her with a mischievous smile and even winked at her!
Good heavens, Yue Ling's face turned completely red in that instant...
At this moment, Yue Ling remembered when she confided in these two people that she liked Ma Liang...
Good heavens, isn't this like confessing my love right in front of the real person?
Yue Ling's face flushed bright red instantly...
Meanwhile, Ma Liang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Yue Ling's flushed face...
Meanwhile, in the entire court of the Great Liang Kingdom, all the officials and civil and military officials looked at the way Yue Ling and Ma Liang locked eyes, and these old men had only one thought in their minds: These two! Something's definitely up!
