Eternal Sword

Chapter 443 Stay safe
There is no curfew in Daxia. Even in the middle of the night, the capital city is brightly lit.

Qingyu Tower and Yaohua Pavilion.

This room is rarely open to the public and is located in the deepest part of Qingyu Tower.

At this moment, inside the Yaohua Pavilion, smoke was rising from the incense burner, emitting a subtle fragrance mixed with sandalwood and orchid.

In the center of the room, there was a round rosewood table filled with delicacies from land and sea, fine wine and delicious food, and three people were sitting around it.

'Thousand Shadow Sword' Lin Mubai, 'Traceless Knife' Xiao Wuhen, 'Thousand Faces Fox' Liu Yingxiu.

The three of them closed their eyes and listened.

On the other side, Liu Mengzhen, the most famous courtesan in the capital, was playing the zither in front of the table. Her slender jade fingers plucked the strings, producing extremely beautiful music that intoxicated people.

There was another person in the room, leaning against the window, looking out, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and seemed to be worried about something.

After a while, the song ended.

Xiao Wuhen couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaimed: "I am lucky enough to listen to Miss Meng Zhen's song. I have no regrets in this life. It would be worth it even if I die immediately."

"As long as Master Xiao likes it."

Liu Mengzhen spoke in a gentle voice and walked towards this side with light lotus steps.

Liu Yingxiu looked at the young man in front of the window with a wave of eyes, and said, "If it weren't for Prince Yuan Xian today, we wouldn't have this opportunity to come to Yaohua Pavilion and hear Sister Liu's heavenly music."

Xia Yuanxian seemed not to hear.

Lin Mubai coughed lightly and asked in a loud voice: "Brother Xia, is there anything on your mind?"

Xia Yuanxian came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Lin Mubai hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Xia, are you still worried about Chen Tang?"

Hearing this name, Xia Yuanxian's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said lightly: "At this time, he is almost a dead man."

If a Jindan Zhenren takes action, Chen Tang will definitely die!

"Good kill!"

Xiao Wuhen said with hatred.

Although his eyes were not blind, his vision was greatly reduced and he could not see clearly.

All this is thanks to Chen Tang!
"Fortunately, this person is dead. Otherwise, if we calculate the time, when the Sword Pavilion publishes the list, he will definitely be ranked in the top ten of the Fengyun list, or even in the top five, and become famous in one battle."

Liu Yingxiu chuckled: "It's good now, dead people can't be on the list, hehe."

"It's a pity for the jar of Drunken Eight Immortals."

Xiao Wuhen suddenly sighed.

That day in Langya Pavilion, they had the opportunity to taste this rare wine, but unexpectedly, Song Wu overturned the table, and the wine jar broke and spilled all over the floor.

Liu Mengzhen smiled slightly and said, "Mengzhen does have a jar stored here."

"what?"

Xiao Wuhen showed surprise.

"Xiao Ping, go get the jar of Drunken Eight Immortals."

"Okay lady."

Liu Mengzhen gave the order, and the maid in green clothes next to her walked out.

After a long time, Xiaoping came back carrying Zui Baxian.

"Why have you been gone so long?"

Liu Mengzhen frowned slightly and said something reproachful.

Xiaoping lowered her head and stammered without saying a word.

Liu Mengzhen felt a strange feeling inexplicably, but she didn't think much about it.

After all, she was her personal maid who had followed her from Tianhu Island. She was used to being ordered around by her, so this little thing was nothing and there was no need to make a fuss about it.

Liu Mengzhen took the wine jar, walked towards the table, and said, "Mengzhen will pour wine for you."

As he spoke, he filled several glasses of wine.

Xiao Wuhen took a light sniff and was filled with the aroma of wine, and he almost felt drunk.

Liu Yingxiu also felt a little curious about this rare fine wine. She picked up the wine glass, took a sip at first, then her eyes lit up and she drank it in a few gulps.

Xiao Wuhen drank a full glass, savored it for a moment, and then he let out a long breath, unable to help but exclaimed: "It is worthy of being the best wine in the world!"

Lin Mubai glanced at the wine glass in front of him and didn't move.

Xia Yuanxian, contrary to his usual behavior, picked up the wine glass.

He knew exactly where the Drunken Eight Immortals came from, so he never touched them. But ever since he was defeated by Chen Tang last time, he still couldn't let it go.

Even if Chen Tang died, what would it matter if his revenge was achieved?

His path to the Xuanmen sect was ultimately cut off, and he could only practice the horizontal training method in the future.

Fellow practitioner Xuanwu, he originally had a bright future!
Even the master had great expectations for him.

But now, even if he is gifted, what level can he reach by just practicing the horizontal training method?
The upper limit is there, how can he surpass the Grand Master or even the Grand Master?
During this period, whenever he thought of this, he felt upset.

Xia Yuanxian picked up the wine glass in front of him, pondered for a moment, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp!

It’s really a good wine!
At this moment, Lin Mubai's ears moved, he turned around and looked outside, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

"What happened to Master Lin?"

Seeing Lin Mubai's strange expression, Liu Mengzhen asked.

"Something's wrong."

Lin Mubai's expression froze slightly.

"what happened?"

Xia Yuanxian asked.

Lin Mubai said in a deep voice: "Brother Xia brought four followers with him, right? I can't hear their breathing, but I could hear them just now."

Among the crowd, the most sober person was Lin Mubai.

Xiao Wuhen had already drunk three glasses of wine and was a little drunk. He said nonchalantly, "In this Qingyu Tower, can't I enjoy myself for a while?"

Xia Yuanxian frowned slightly.

Without his order, these four personal guards would never leave without permission!

"Ruan Kaifeng, Mu Er!"

Xia Yuanxian shouted.

There was no response from outside, total silence.

Even the room was eerily quiet!
Xia Yuanxian's heart sank.

"As expected of you who is at the top of the list, you are really alert."

At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and burly middle-aged man pushed the door open and walked in, holding a bloody long knife in his hand. He looked around with a gaze as fast as lightning!

"You are……"

Xia Yuanxian, Lin Mubai and the others all looked stern, and instantly grasped the weapons beside them, concentrating on being on alert.

Xiao Wuhen and Liu Yingxiu sobered up in an instant and stood up.

But then, their faces changed drastically, and they cried out "ouch", and sat back down at the same time!
Xia Yuanxian seemed to have noticed something as well. His body swayed and he looked confused. A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He held on to the table with his palms to avoid falling to the ground.

"The wine is poisonous!"

Lin Mubai reacted immediately and looked at Liu Mengzhen beside him.

The Drunken Eight Immortals were brought by Liu Mengzhen.

If there is poison in the wine, it can only be her!

Xia Yuanxian looked at Liu Mengzhen in disbelief, shocked and angry.

He really couldn't imagine why Liu Mengzhen would poison the wine.

At this moment, Liu Mengzhen's face was full of astonishment, and he was obviously unaware of the situation.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and turned her head sharply, looking at Xiao Ping, her personal maid standing in the corner, with a sharp gaze, and asked in a stern voice: "Who are you!"

Xiaoping raised her head and said nothing.

Liu Mengzhen saw it clearly, it was indeed Xiaoping's face, but the look in her eyes was wrong.

This person's eyes were lifeless, as if without any emotion.

"and who are you?"

Lin Mubai stared at the middle-aged man in front of him.

He was sure that he had never seen this person before.

But this person's voice gave him a sense of déjà vu!
"Everyone, stay safe and sound!"

The middle-aged man grinned, raised his hand and took off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a young and handsome face.

When everyone in the room saw this, a chill instantly rose in their hearts!
