Six Heavenly Humans, Which Faction

Ten-thousand-year Ginseng.

Could extend one's lifespan by a hundred years?

Upon hearing this.

Li Chunfeng's expression became incomparably grim.

At the same time, Li Chunfeng realized the gravity of the matter.

For mortals.

Their maximum lifespan was only around a hundred years.

This was a law of the world that could not be changed.

Whether commoners or emperors.

Beneath the passage of time.

All would turn into withered bones and dust.

But now, if there were a great medicine capable of extending one's life by a hundred years, it would be enough to drive even the most powerful figures in all of Great Gan mad!

"Is this news true?"

Li Chunfeng stared at Ying Huai and asked.

Ying Huai Shook His Head as well and said.

"Whether it is true or not, I do not know. But the news has already spread. The nobles and magnates throughout Great Gan all believe that Bai Su and Yao Luochen have such a Ten-thousand-year Ginseng in their possession."

Then.

Ying Huai continued.

"Those old monsters in the martial world whose lifespans are nearly exhausted—would they truly be willing to enter the Yellow Earth just like that? And within the Imperial Court, would our Empress not wish to rule Great Gan for another hundred years?"

"Even a mere thread of rumor is enough to drive everyone mad. That is why I said these two children have fallen into unprecedented trouble."

Upon hearing this.

Li Chunfeng could only sigh.

This trial.

Perhaps no one could help Bai Su and Yao Luochen through it.

Whoever helped them.

Would be suspected of having obtained the Ten Thousand Year Great Medicine.

And in the days to come.

Would become the enemy of the entire world.

Ren Xiaoyao naturally heard these words as well.

Truthfully, the Ten Thousand Year Great Medicine was indeed highly tempting to Ren Xiaoyao.

After all, great medicine contained vast amounts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. If Ren Xiaoyao could devour the spiritual energy within the Ten Thousand Year Great Medicine, he could save countless years of hard cultivation.

But.

Ren Xiaoyao naturally had no intention of competing for this Ten-thousand-year Ginseng.

To Ren Xiaoyao.

The value of certain feelings.

Far surpassed that of the Ten Thousand Year Great Medicine.

Several days later.

Li Chunfeng sought out Ren Xiaoyao.

He brought up Bai Su and Yao Luochen once more.

"Outside, more than five hundred martial artists whose lifespans are nearing their end are conducting a carpet-style search for Bai Su and Yao Luochen. According to Ying Huai's intelligence, Bai Su and Yao Luochen fled from Youzhou to Zhuozhou, then later from Zhuozhou to Bingzhou, suffering miserably all along the way."

Li Chunfeng sighed. "If the Devil Master had not secretly aided Bai Su and Yao Luochen several times, they would likely already have perished."

Great Gan was vast.

Its population exceeded a billion.

The number of martial artists was enormous as well.

Although on the surface, there were not many top-tier experts.

Many Super-Rank Realm martial artists over fifty years old.

No longer appeared in the martial world.

Instead, they lay dormant.

Just like Zhao Luoxia had done in the past.

Seeking to break through into a higher realm.

Under normal circumstances.

Before dying of old age, these Super-Rank Realm martial artists would enter the True Man Realm. A tiny few could attain the Heavenly Human Realm, but even then, they would no longer roam the martial world. They had only a few years left to live and would generally pass the rest of their lives in peace.

But now.

These Dying True Man Realm Martial Artists.

Had found an Opportunity to Extend Lifespan by a Hundred Years.

How could they not go mad?

Even the Devil Master could only help Bai Su and Yao Luochen in secret.

After all.

Even someone as powerful as the Devil Master.

Felt his heart tremble when facing these dying, crazed old fellows.

"Perhaps you could make a move and save Bai Su's life?"

At this moment, Li Chunfeng looked at Ren Xiaoyao expectantly.

In Li Chunfeng's eyes.

Under such circumstances.

If anyone could save Bai Su and Yao Luochen.

It was only the Ren Xiaoyao before him.

After hearing Li Chunfeng's words, Ren Xiaoyao said nothing. He merely chewed the last Aperture Condensing Pill and said lightly, "This Aperture Condensing Pill does taste rather good."

Then Ren Xiaoyao rose to his feet, looked at Li Chunfeng, and said.

"Master, I must trouble you to leave the Imperial Observatory for a while. Bring Senior Sister Bai Su and Yao Luochen to Fulong Mountain, and I will naturally be able to keep them safe."

"Good!"

Li Chunfeng nodded upon hearing Ren Xiaoyao's words.

Li Chunfeng had now recovered the strength of the Heavenly Human Realm.

Even away from Ren Xiaoyao.

He was still among the very strongest combatants.

He was confident that he could bring Bai Su and Yao Luochen back near the Imperial Observatory.

Li Chunfeng hurriedly left the Imperial Observatory.

But just as Li Chunfeng departed.

A secret agent.

Delivered this news back to the Capital City.

At the Princess's Residence.

Princess Taiping naturally received this news. Looking at the Phoenix Hall Master beside her, she said, "Li Chunfeng has left the Imperial Observatory as well. It seems he has been tempted by that Ten Thousand Year Great Medicine."

"Li Chunfeng is also a mortal. He naturally cannot resist the temptation of a hundred additional years of life."

The Phoenix Hall Master chuckled. "However, with his mere Heavenly Human Realm cultivation, he is not qualified to obtain this Ten Thousand Year Great Medicine. If he forcibly interferes, there is only a dead end awaiting him!"

Although the Phoenix Hall Master was only in the True Man Realm.

Still.

He seemed extremely disdainful toward Heavenly Human Realm martial artists.

Princess Taiping nodded upon hearing this and said, "This is an extension of a hundred years of life! Even I am incomparably tempted."

"Princess, you should Put Away such thoughts."

The Phoenix Hall Master Shook His Head and said.

"The only one qualified to obtain this Ten Thousand Year Great Medicine is the Pavilion Master of Qianqiu Pavilion. As for anyone else, including the Empress, none are qualified to lay a finger on this great medicine. Even if they obtain it by luck, it will bring them endless calamities!"

Upon hearing of the Pavilion Master of Qianqiu Pavilion.

Princess Taiping nodded as well.

She said no more.

Yet within her eyes.

There was deep apprehension.

Within the Imperial Palace.

The Empress naturally received intelligence that Li Chunfeng had descended the mountain.

The Empress's expression shifted between light and dark as she said coldly.

"Li Chunfeng truly deserves death. Everywhere he turns, he wishes to oppose me! If I do not teach him a lesson, does he truly think I am easy to bully? Even if I cannot obtain this Ten Thousand Year Great Medicine, you can forget about obtaining it either!"

Then.

The Empress looked at Phoenix beside her and said, "Phoenix, take my decree and go to Xiagu City. Secretly handle a task for me!"

"Your decree shall be obeyed!"

Phoenix nodded with a trembling heart.

She was certain that the Empress had truly been enraged this time.

Even when Li Chunfeng had fiercely slapped the Empress's face last time.

The Empress had not been this furious.

But now that the benefit of extending one's lifespan by a hundred years was involved.

The Empress could endure it no longer.

In the outskirts of the Capital City.

Amid the wilderness.

Three swift horses galloped at full speed.

These three figures.

Were naturally Li Chunfeng, Yao Luochen, and Bai Su.

Bai Su was travel-worn, and she looked at Li Chunfeng with an apologetic expression as she said.

"Little Martial Uncle, we have caused you trouble this time. If we go to the Imperial Observatory, we may bring enormous disaster upon it as well."

Li Chunfeng Shook His Head and said.

"I watched you grow up, so I will naturally do my utmost to protect you. And do not worry, once you reach the Imperial Observatory, no one will be able to touch you!"

Yao Luochen sighed as well and said.

"It is all my fault. If I had abandoned everything in Medicine King Valley back then, I would not have brought about today's trouble. Now I have even dragged Bai Su into suffering alongside me."

Li Chunfeng Shook His Head and said.

"Misfortune is where fortune leans; fortune is where misfortune hides. Once you weather this storm, leave Great Gan completely. Otherwise, there will likely be countless troubles still awaiting you."

But just as Li Chunfeng's voice fell.

A figure appeared on the road ahead.

This person wore a blue robe, with cold features and an otherworldly bearing. He was actually walking through the air. Li Chunfeng frowned tightly. To walk through the air, one's True Essence had to be condensed to an extreme degree; only Heavenly Human Realm martial artists could achieve it.

Li Chunfeng understood in his heart.

Trouble had already arrived!

Yet Li Chunfeng was also puzzled.

This man appeared to be only in his forties.

Logically, a Heavenly Human Realm expert of that age.

Would possess a name that shook the martial world.

So why had he never heard of this man?

"Great Gan Sword Immortal Li Chunfeng, I have long admired your great name. I am Meng Zhongwu of Qianqiu Pavilion."

Meng Zhongwu introduced himself. A faint smile appeared on his face, yet beneath that smile lay boundless killing intent.

"Qianqiu Pavilion?"

Li Chunfeng had never heard of this force. He merely snorted coldly and said.

"Meng Zhongwu, since you have blocked our way, you must also be after the Ten Thousand Year Great Medicine. But you are not the only one eyeing it. In my view, you are not qualified to obtain the Ten Thousand Year Great Medicine either!"

Li Chunfeng himself was also in the Heavenly Human Realm.

Naturally, he did not fear Meng Zhongwu before him.

But after hearing Li Chunfeng's words, Meng Zhongwu laughed loudly and said, "Li Chunfeng, I know of your record and know that you do possess some skill, but I did not come alone to deal with you today!"

As his words fell.

Figures after figures.

Walked through the air from All Directions.

In merely a few breaths of time.

Five more figures stood in the air.

At the sight of these five figures, even Li Chunfeng's heart skipped a beat, and a sheen of Cold Sweat appeared on his forehead.

A full six Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists.

What kind of concept was that?

Li Chunfeng simply could not comprehend it.

Because in Li Chunfeng's understanding, throughout the entire Dagān Jianghu, even counting those Old Monsters lying dormant, there could not possibly be six Heavenly Human Realm experts combined!

Had these six been sent by the Empress?

But Li Chunfeng quickly ruled out that possibility.

Because even the Empress—

After eighteen years in power—

Might have several Heavenly Human Realm experts lying dormant beneath her command.

But to dispatch six Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists at once—

That was absolutely impossible!

Then—

Just who were these people?

At this moment—

Within the Imperial Observatory—

Ren Xiaoyao was cultivating, Inhaling and Exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Lines of text surfaced before his eyes once more.

[Detected that the Hidden Force Qianqiu Pavilion is about to strike at Li Chunfeng and the others. Since Li Chunfeng's actions were part of your plan, you have the following choices.]

[One, stand by and watch. This crisis will not extend to you, and you may obtain one Aperture Condensing Pill.]

[Two, act discreetly. After resolving Li Chunfeng and the others' crisis, you may obtain one Magic Item.]
