Who are you? What are you doing here?
Hong Lian felt a chill run down her spine, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard an unfamiliar voice.
Hong Lian turned her head and saw only a sinister young man with blood-red eyes and purple hair, an old man with a cane, a young man with a black hat and a sinister aura, and an extremely burly man.
"How did this combination happen?" Hong Lian found the four-person group rather comical.
Do you know Wei Zhuang?
"I'm asking you a question," Tian Ze sneered.
"Hmph! What kind of tone is that? What's with the arrogance? I'm not afraid of anyone in the entire palace! This is also royal territory. I, the princess, can come and go as I please. Now tell me, where exactly is Wei Zhuang hiding?"
This princess?
Tian Ze couldn't help but laugh.
"The key to wealth has been delivered to your door."
The King of a Hundred Poisons smiled sinisterly, green energy emanating from his hand. Hong Lian was sprayed in the face with the energy, felt dizzy, and fainted.
When Hong Lian woke up, she found herself surrounded by snakes, a dense swarm of them.
"Where exactly is this place?" Hong Lian said she was most afraid of those slippery, soft animals.
As some snakes swam over, Hong Lian completely forgot about possessing a treasure for escape, and a high-pitched voice echoed from her throat.
"What are you yelling about? You're just waiting to feed my precious Snake King with your blood, so be quiet, or I'll bleed you out right now." The King of a Hundred Poisons entered, his eyes fierce.
Hong Lian's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but regret why she had been so foolish as to go to the cold palace of Zheng State.
Time flew by, and dawn broke.
In the Purple Orchid Pavilion, Xiao Tian watched Yan Lingji's flirtatious and manipulative performance as she tried to win over Zi Nu. He then drank juice mixed with a Martial Soul Beverage Cola cola, his taste buds stimulated by the sweet, sour, and refreshing flavor, making him exceptionally energetic for the morning.
"Something terrible has happened!"
Han Fei rushed in, looking flustered, holding a crumpled piece of paper tightly in his hand.
"What's going on, Little Feifei?"
"Brother Xiao, this is a matter of life and death, please help me." Han Fei handed the note to Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.
"Who captured Hong Lian? And they only want one million taels of gold and three million taels of silver."
"Brother Xiao, I don't know that, I only know the location of the transaction."
"Alright, I'll take some jewelry with me over there, and while I'm at it, I'll find out who's so cowardly. She's a princess, after all, why is she asking for such an exorbitant price?" Xiao Tian, scoffing.
Upon hearing this, Han Fei's lips twitched, but he still quickly Deva Path.
"Let's make a plan," Wei Zhuang said, wanting to join in as well.
In a short time, Han Fei and Zi Nu came up with a plan.
Xiao Tian felt that the plan was too low-level and too troublesome, so he quietly left Purple Orchid Pavilion.
Using the world map in his mind, Xiao Tian had always known the coordinates of Princess Hong Lian, who was his ally. He estimated the distance and approximate location, and had an idea. He also figured out who had captured Hong Lian.
"Tsk tsk, what a coincidence. In the end, it was Tian Ze and his gang who captured Hong Lian. Since that's the case, let's put on a big show."
Xiao Tian secretly used his Ruyi Divine Ability - Seventy-Two Transformations to inform Ji Wuye at the General's Mansion.
"Huh?"
As soon as Xiao Tian finished reporting the news, a world map automatically appeared in his mind. On the world map, his ally Lady Mingzhu Tide Banshee, lit up with red exclamation marks and question marks, as if beckoning him.
"This woman, we already disciplined her, could it be that she really has an emergency?"
Xiao Tian quickly used his innate ability: Teleport, and selected Lady Mingzhu's residence.
After a five-second guidance, a flash of light appeared, and Xiao Tian was already in Lady Mingzhu's boudoir.
"My lady, what is it?"
Lady Mingzhu, who had Erlang legs crossed and a straight back that accentuated her graceful curves, immediately put her legs down and stood up to bow to Xiao Tian Xiao Tian upon hearing his voice.
"Your Majesty, the old eunuch just reported that Princess Hong Lian appears to have been arrested. We request Your Majesty's permission."
Xiao Tian sensed that the old eunuch outside was indeed waiting for a reply.
Having no other choice, Xiao Tian had to disguise himself as the King of Han and get rid of the old eunuch.
"Your Majesty, please wait, I have something else to discuss."
"Explain."
"Your Majesty, my cousin came again last night for a surprise inspection. It seems they suspect that the King of Han has been replaced. I could sense something was off about what he said before he left, and his eyes betrayed it as well."
"Damn it, they're starting to doubt again! These bastards!" Xiao Tian's lips twitched. He thought that if he didn't deal with the troublesome Nightfall, he wouldn't be able to keep up his post as the fake King of Han.
"I understand. I will handle it."
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I have more good news."
Looking at Lady Mingzhu's seductive smile, Xiao Tian felt that this woman deserved a beating. Couldn't she just speak properly?
"Explain!"
"Your Majesty, we have information about the Nine-Colored Glazed Jade Fragment. One of my maids A Xiang, returned from visiting distant relatives and overheard some crucial information during a conversation with the other maids."
Lady Mingzhu swayed her hips and slowly approached Xiao Tian's side. She slightly tiptoed in her high heels, breathed sweet fragrance, and whispered the information into Xiao Tian's ear.
Xiao Tian was surprised after hearing this.
"My beauty, you keep flirting with me, be careful you don't get burned."
"Your Majesty, if your flames are raging, why not rest at the lakeside pavilion?"
Xiao Tian's lips twitched. He was too lazy to continue talking to Lady Mingzhu. There was still a good show to watch. Otherwise, he would teach this woman a lesson.
"I'm leaving. Take care."
At this moment, the King of a Hundred Poisons was filled with regret and rage!
"Are you coming out or not?!"
"I'm not coming out! You're the one who locked me in! Come on in if you dare!"
The King of a Hundred Poisons' face turned green, his chest filled with rage, yet he couldn't vent it.
" King of a Hundred Poisons, this is called lifting a rock only to drop it on your own foot," the Corpse-Controlling Demon sneered.
"I don't understand what you have to mock!" King of a Hundred Poisons sneered.
" King of a Hundred Poisons, you don't understand. You expended so much power to cultivate two snake kings, and now that girl has eaten the gall of the Red Snake King, controlling Manda within it. Now you are Weaken and frail, yet you're still shouting here. You should be recuperating and preparing to face King Han's rescue. Besides, don't you know we've gotten ourselves into trouble? That jade chain that girl wears is no ordinary thing," the Corpse-Controlling Demon sighed.
"Jade chain." The King of a Hundred Poisons' eyes were gloomy as he recalled how the little girl had suddenly teleported so far away; it was indeed strange.
"Is it a problem with that treasure? This world shouldn't have such a magical artifact."
"So, that thing was given to you by that person." The Corpse-Controlling Demon shook his head and sighed.
"This is terrible." The King of a Hundred Poisons felt a chill run down his spine.
"Little miss! Come out quickly! I'll open the door and let you go, please leave!"
Hong Lian was completely bewildered. Seeing that the door had indeed been opened, she realized something was wrong and it must be a trick.
"Old man! Don't try to scheme against me! I'm not leaving! Come on in if you dare! Humph!"
"Little darlings, some of you go out and bite that old man!" Hong Lian ordered the surrounding snakes.
Hiss!
In an instant, a variety of brightly colored, Demonic Power snakes of different sizes emerged from the doorway like lightning.
"This is a huge problem." The King of a Hundred Poisons was in a headache. Green mist swirled in his palm, blasting away the swarm of venomous snakes that rushed out to attack him.
