Invincible!

Chapter 39 Aftermath
"Li Xian."

Zhou Juechen stepped forward.

He glanced at his body...

The skin was not only bright red, but also had faint traces of blood seeping out.

"You used a burst damage technique!? You're not in good shape right now!"

"No!"

Li Xian said, "I'm in a very good state right now."

After saying that, he even added with a touch of longing, "It's been a long time since I've had such a good time."

Zhou Juechen was slightly taken aback.

Li Xian looked at his hands.

He used his shockwave to shatter the knife in Blood Eagle's hand, but his palm was actually cracked, and the blood had already congealed.

but……

This feels great.

This world has truly not disappointed him.

"I'll head back now; I'll leave the cleanup to you."

Li Xiandao.

"it is good!"

Zhou Juechen nodded.

In today's battle, although he initially tied up most of the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang, but...

Li Xian completed the real challenging tasks.

He was actually not injured at all.

Thanks to the inexhaustible vitality of a martial artist's blood and qi, he had recovered by this time.

Seeing Li Xian turn and leave, Zhou Juechen quickly asked, "What are your plans regarding the Prince's Mansion and the Marquis's Mansion?"

After saying that, he made a "slaying" gesture: "How about tonight...?"

"The resources of the Marquis's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion should be more than this. If they can invite the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang this time, they can invite even stronger experts next time."

Li Xian said, "I'll wait."

"An even stronger expert?"

Zhou Juechen's expression was somewhat strange: "Do you know what it means that you killed the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang in today's battle, and then followed up by killing Zhang Shuheng, one of the Four Absolute Blades, as well as Zhao Tianming and Bai Yupan, all of whom are martial artists who have undergone blood purification and marrow cleansing?"

"what?"

Mr. Li was puzzled.

"The Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang ran rampant in the Luoyang area, committing numerous crimes, yet no one intervened to uphold justice or fairness. This was partly because they never provoked those they couldn't afford to offend, partly because they came and went like the wind, making them difficult to intercept, but most importantly, it was their strength."

Zhou Juechen said, "Thirteen of them working together cannot be wiped out by any major sect leader who has not reached the True Qi stage or cultivated True Qi."

"There must be quite a few sect leaders within the Great Zhou territory who have cultivated true qi, right?"

Li Xiandao: "Can't the Marquis's Mansion or the Prince's Mansion invite them?"

"Should we move them?"

Zhou Juechen felt he needed to give Li Xian a good lesson in common sense: "What do you have to offer to persuade a Marquis's mansion or a Prince's mansion to do so?! Which of these sect leaders who have cultivated true qi isn't a powerful figure in their own right?"

He stated frankly, "Take the Canglang Sword Sect as an example. The entire Canglang Sword Sect is located two hundred miles from Canglang Mountain, with thousands of disciples and tens of thousands of people attached to it. Its influence extends to millions of people in the surrounding area, and it earns hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year."

Li Xian was startled.

I vaguely realized something.

"The Marquis's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion can only scrape together 100,000 taels of silver at most, under such circumstances. Is it necessary for a True Qi Realm expert, who is the pillar of the state, to take great risks to intercept and kill a prodigy like you with unlimited potential for the sake of the 100,000 taels of silver that the Marquis's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion have managed to raise?"

Zhou Juechen said, "If you escape with your life, in five or ten years, once you have cultivated true qi, the Canglang Sword Sect will face annihilation. Even if not everyone is like you and can cultivate true qi in the future, how much loss would a flawless expert secretly ambush and cause trouble for the Canglang Sword Sect? If this continues for ten or eight years, the 100,000 taels obtained from the Prince's Mansion and the Marquis's Mansion will not even be enough to fill this hole!"

Li Xian gradually became clearer.

He seems to have misunderstood.

This world is not the ancient world of Earth.

This is a world where martial artists exist, embodying immense power.

Even within the vast territory of the Great Six Thousand Miles, the imperial family cannot wield absolute power.

Those marquises and princes who served the Great Zhou might not have had as much power as he imagined.

To some extent, the relationship between the major factions and the royal family is more like that between warlords and the government. In name, they both respect the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in reality, each major faction is a state within a state.

When necessary, with core disciples as the backbone, tens of thousands of troops can be easily mobilized. The royal family's disregard for rules and arbitrary dispatch of troops to suppress various factions will inevitably trigger the rise of numerous warlords and plunge the world into chaos.

What are these so-called marquises and princes?
That is equivalent to a senior elder of a major sect.

If it were a transcendent force like the Taixu Sword Palace, the Holy Martial Pavilion, or the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, a county king with hundreds of members wouldn't even qualify as an elder; at best, he'd be equivalent to a well-connected steward.

The blood transfusion and marrow cleansing, leaving no trace of impurities in the body, represent the limit of the power they can access and manipulate.

Above that are sect leaders who have achieved the Transformation of Emptiness into True Reality...

There's no need to take them seriously at all.

Only a few highly favored princes, as well as those who held the highest rank and commanded tens of thousands of troops, were qualified to speak with them on an equal footing.

"Fist is power."

Zhou Juechen's earlier words came to life at this moment.

"So, even the Marquis's residence and the Prince's residence can't get anyone to come?"

Li Xiandao.

"The Marquis of Dingfeng's mansion definitely can't afford to hire any more high-ranking experts. The fact that they were able to hire the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang is all because that woman interfered with their Blood Jade Technique. As for the Prince of Yue's mansion..."

Zhou Juechen paused slightly at this point, then continued, "The Yue Prince's Mansion is different from other princely mansions. They... have gotten involved with that immortal seedling, but..."

He was puzzled: "I've never been able to understand one thing... Yan Kaigui was clearly going to marry Xianmiao, but after receiving the promise from the Dragon Gate Order, he still ended up hanging out with Liu Yanran from the Marquis's mansion... Is that Xianmiao really that easy to fool?"

Li understood.

The Yue King's Mansion still has potential that can be explored.

The Marquis's residence...

That won’t work?

After thinking for a moment, Li Xian decided to be patient.

"The Marquis's residence must be waiting for news from the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang. I'll go to the Marquis's residence to take a look, give them a message, tell them that I'm not dead and that the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang have failed, and see if they can still save money and raise silver to hire a Wulou Dacheng Realm martial artist."

He said, "If we can't get someone to the True Qi Realm, surely there's hope for someone who has reached the Great Perfection of the Flawless Realm?"

After all, that was the Dingfeng Marquis's mansion, which had been passed down for centuries.

Seeing this, Zhou Juechen was speechless.

He didn't try to persuade him further.

"what ever."

Zhou Juechen replied and quickly handed over a precious sword: "Zhang Shuheng is nicknamed the Four Absolute Swordsman. He is most famous for his swordsmanship and this Xuan Tie precious sword. Take a look and see if it suits your hand."

"Sword skills..."

Li Xian didn't think Zhang Shuheng's swordsmanship was anything special.

However, he still accepted the Xuan Tie sword.

With such a treasured sword in hand, I will be able to more effectively deflect the opponent's weapon when using techniques like "Sword Sweeping Through Three Thousand Realms".

even……

Use the shockwave to shatter the opponent's weapon and gain the upper hand.

"Besides the knife, I also found some good things on the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang, including a lot of silver notes. You don't need to worry about controlling your qi and blood consumption for the next period of time. There is plenty of money to buy qi-boosting and blood-nourishing medicines."

Zhou Juechen said with a smile.

"it is good."

Li Xian nodded slightly.

The process of trying to manipulate Qi and blood requires maintaining a high frequency of Qi and blood circulation, which consumes a lot of energy and naturally requires medication to replenish it.

In addition, the energy consumed by his improved Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique also needs to be replenished.

"Are you going to the Marquis's residence now? Would you like to rest for a bit and change your clothes?"

Zhou Juechen said.

Li glanced at himself.

Blood was stained in some places...

However, it's not a big problem.

He wasn't the kind of person with obsessive-compulsive disorder; he didn't care, as getting down to business was the priority.

"I'm too lazy to make another trip. I'll just go and let them know. I'll take a bath after I get back from the Marquis's residence."

As Li Xian spoke, he carried the prized Xuan Tie sword and headed towards the Marquis's residence.
