Ch 140: Yuan Wuji, The Blade Immortal
“Everyone, I apologize for the fright. I, on behalf of the Dragon Court, offer my apologies.”
The Chief Eunuch smiled amiably at everyone in the Great Zhou Jianghu, then bowed.
“You’re too kind.”
Everyone in the Great Zhou Jianghu quickly replied.
It wasn’t because the other party was from the Dragon Court, but because of their strength. A true Immortal Realm strong person; therefore, even though he was an eunuch, he still commanded awe.
“Senior, could you be the Saber Immortal Yuan Wuji, who was once so famous in the Jianghu?” At this time, a Great Zhou Jianghu expert couldn’t help but walk up and ask.
“It’s just some past worldly affairs. Now, I’m merely an eunuch by Your Majesty’s side,” the Chief Eunuch said with a smile.
It really was him!
People from both the Great Zhou Jianghu and the Divine Palace Jianghu couldn’t believe that the eunuch before them was actually Yuan Wuji, the Saber Immortal who once shook the Jianghu.
He was a legendary figure.
He disappeared thirty years ago, without a trace. Originally, it was thought that Yuan Wuji was dead, but unexpectedly, he had joined the Dragon Court and even become an eunuch. What exactly happened during this time?
Yuan Wuji didn’t elaborate on this matter. He merely turned to look at the expert he had just pulled down.
Dressed in black, but unmasked, seeing Yuan Wuji, he gritted his teeth and said, “Yuan Wuji, you are actually the Chief Eunuch, a person by Your Majesty’s side. Then you should know even better that a genius like Hong Tiandu cannot be left alive. He cannot be allowed to leave the Divine Palace. Otherwise, in the future, this person will surely become a major threat to my Divine Palace. Kill them here now, eliminate the root, and it will surely severely damage the Great Zhou Jianghu.”
“Who is it? So it’s the top retainer of Duke Qing’s Mansion.” Yuan Wuji slowly walked forward, smiling slightly and asked, “Are you truly assassinating Hong Tiandu for the sake of the Divine Palace?”
“Naturally!” The Heavenly Gang Realm expert said proudly.
“Then you can die.” Yuan Wuji didn’t waste words. With a casual flick of his fly whisk, the expert’s face changed drastically. He clutched his neck, seeming to want to say something, but ultimately couldn’t.
Bang!
The corpse lay on the arena.
“Everyone, I apologize for the fright.”
Yuan Wuji turned to address everyone in the Great Zhou Jianghu, saying, “His Majesty has asked me to convey his regards to the Emperor of Great Zhou. Also, we’ve accepted the five cities, and we express our gratitude to the Great Zhou Emperor on our behalf.”
“Um…”
The Great Zhou officials looked at each other. Finally, Du Heng could only bow and say, “Yes, I will certainly convey this.”
“It’s getting late. I won’t see you out,” Yuan Wuji said with a chuckle.
“Eunuch, please stay. We take our leave.”
The people from the Great Zhou Jianghu could only leave Lingyan City. Hong Tiandu also left with a heart full of resentment.
Originally, he thought he was the number one person under the Divine Palace, but unexpectedly, he was defeated by a mere Fourth Rank Martial Artist today, which made him feel extremely frustrated.
He vowed to return and diligently cultivate, until he reached the Transcendent Realm, then return to the Divine Palace and sweep through the Divine Palace Jianghu’s younger generation!
Let them know who the true number one of the younger generation is!
After the Great Zhou Jianghu people left, Yuan Wuji turned to the Divine Palace people and said, “His Majesty has decreed that the ten people who participated in the martial arts competition today fought for the Divine Palace Kingdom, winning five cities and protecting the honor of the Divine Palace. Go to the Dragon Court immediately to receive your rewards. His Majesty wants to reward you ten personally.”
Hearing this, everyone was curious. Did His Majesty already know they would win?
“Junior Brother, did you hear that? You’re going to be ennobled!” Liu Dongyue said excitedly.
“Oh.”
Shi Ming returned to his taciturn self, seemingly uninterested in ennoblement, only secretly watching Song Yitao.
“Eunuch, we didn’t contribute much.” The other nine felt somewhat embarrassed. Although they had competed on stage, they hadn’t even made Hong Tiandu take a step back, let alone deplete his stamina.
If there was anyone who deserved credit, it was only Shi Ming.
As they spoke, countless gazes focused on Shi Ming.
Everyone knew that this youth, who seemed to have no presence in the Longevity Temple, would, from today on, have his name resound throughout Dongyan Province.
A true peerless genius.
Although only Fourth Rank, his Tai Chi Fist was invincible, beating Hong Tiandu until he vomited blood.
The aura surrounding him was impossible for anyone to ignore.
“Everyone, you mustn’t say that. Today’s results were also thanks to your efforts.” Yuan Wuji politely said, “Carriages are ready. Please come with me.”
“Good.”
Everyone secretly anticipated what rewards the Emperor would bestow upon them.
After everyone boarded the carriages, Yuan Wuji went before Yu Qingyang and respectfully said, “Ninth Prince, His Majesty’s oral decree is that you’ve done well in this matter, but you’ve also caused a great disaster, so there will be no reward this time.”
“Yes.”
Yu Qingyang nodded.
Indeed, he hadn’t considered that someone would try to take Hong Tiandu’s life in Lingyan City.
If Hong Tiandu had died here…
It would have caused great trouble for the Divine Palace. Not to mention, Hong Ruhai was a madman who acted recklessly. If he were to create a disturbance in the Divine Palace, it would give the Divine Palace a terrible headache.
Only then did Yu Qingyang notice that Yuan Wuji’s boots were stained with quite a bit of blood.
Yu Qingyang was puzzled. When killing the expert from Duke Qing’s Mansion, no blood had spattered. Where did this blood come from?
“Old servant takes his leave,” Yuan Wuji said respectfully.
Meanwhile, the people from the Great Zhou Jianghu, having left Lingyan City, were on their way back to Great Zhou.
Inside a carriage, Hong Tiandu was tending to his injuries. He swallowed a pill, and he felt his injuries slowly recovering.
“Don’t mind it. No one is truly invincible, but you are already on the path to invincibility. Being below the Transcendent Realm doesn’t mean much.” The Wuji Palace’s headmaster was comforting Hong Tiandu.
“It’s fine. My heart of invincibility is not so fragile.” Hong Tiandu shook his head.
“Headmaster, the Divine Palace actually wanted to keep Tiandu in the Divine Palace. Should we tell War Immortal about this?” An elder next to him couldn’t help but ask.
“Divine Palace?”
The Wuji Palace headmaster sneered, “Do you really think it was the Divine Palace that did it?”
“Ah?” The elder was stunned, “That person was from the Divine Palace’s Duke Qing’s Mansion. Who else could it be besides someone from the Divine Palace?”
“If the Divine Palace wanted to make a move, would they use their own people?” The Wuji Palace headmaster slowly closed his eyes, “They are not that stupid. Those who wanted Tiandu dead, there are others.”
