Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

"I'm just a nobody, I don't know much... I'm from the State of Chu, and this time I'm ordered by my superiors to infiltrate the capital and make contact with Shi Jingtao and forces from other countries..."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Rushuang frowned slightly.

"Shi Jingtao? Why did you infiltrate the capital? Which foreign powers are involved?"

She asked.

"I don't know about that. This matter is highly confidential. Even the leader doesn't know what to do. He just needs to take his position and wait for orders from above."

"As for the influence of other countries, I don't know the specifics, but based on my observations of the city during the days I was away, there must be quite a few."

Zhuge Rushuang fell into deep thought.

"The purpose of this group of people is so secretive that even they themselves do not know it. They can only proceed step by step and wait and see."

It's clear they came with a foolproof plan, so even if something goes wrong, it won't affect the overall situation.

Moreover, it's not just the State of Chu; there are other powerful states involved as well. It seems... this is no small matter.

As Zhuge Rushuang thought this, she vaguely sensed a conspiracy brewing against a formidable enemy.

"I've said everything I needed to say, everything I know. Just kill me already..."

The man was weak and exhausted, tormented to the point of wishing for death, and viewed death as a relief.

...

After sending the man on his way without any mercy, the two mounted their horses and continued their journey.

This incident was just a minor episode during this journey, but it attracted the attention of Zhuge Rushuang and even Chen Han.

What are these foreigners doing sneaking into the Yue Kingdom's capital for no reason, and doing it so secretly? What good could it be?

In this region, the countries appear to be on good terms, without war, and united against external threats, such as natural disasters like the strange beasts. However, in reality, they are eager to annex other countries as soon as possible to strengthen themselves.

Wherever there are people, there will be conflict; this is unavoidable.

This incident undoubtedly served as a wake-up call for the two of them.

However, compared to Zhuge Rushuang, Chen Han seemed much more relaxed.

He was not a member of the government and was very powerful. While conflicts between countries did have some impact on him, it was not significant.

When he was weak and of low status, he and his family might die in the streets, starve to death, be beaten to death, or be forced to serve others and compromise their lives because of this turmoil.

But the truth is that he is so powerful that he doesn't care about anyone except cultivators, and he even disdains the emperor on the dragon throne. So what is this little disturbance?

Even martial arts masters, if they dare to provoke him, he'll kill one, and if ten come, he can kill them all...

"Why don't you go back and report the news?"

Chen Han spoke up and made the suggestion.

This matter will not have a significant impact on him, but it would be best to nip it in the bud as soon as possible.

To everyone's surprise, Zhuge Rushuang shook her head, "I know very little about this matter at the moment, and it involves a great deal of issues. It is difficult for me to make a decision on the spot. Let's deal with the immediate problem first."

Zhuge Rushuang said this, but in reality, she was thinking about the person who had just escaped.

If the person who escaped is quick, they could easily send a message in a short time.

This matter involves several countries, so how could there be no martial artists involved? Although she is a martial artist, she is only a beginner-level martial artist. However, if she is surrounded and ambushed by two martial artists of the same level, her chances of survival are pitifully small.

"So, it's better to follow this dark-faced man. His strength is unfathomable; ordinary martial artists probably can't do much against him."

Based on her previous understanding of Chen Han, Zhuge Rushuang was not clear about the extent of Chen Han's martial arts realm and strength, but she knew that his combat power was definitely above hers.

Moreover, although this person appears fierce and terrifying, he is actually just a bit cold and arrogant, but he doesn't have any bad intentions.

"Hmm, whatever you want..."

Chen Han took the lead and continued on his way.

Aside from this little incident, nothing else went wrong along the way. Occasionally, some reckless beasts would catch a whiff of their prey, lurking close before suddenly pouncing and tearing at them.

However, the outcome was obvious; they were all killed on the spot by Chen Han in just a few moves.

Regardless of size, build, or even the presence of several ancient beast kings over four hundred years old, none of them could withstand more than three moves from Chen Han.

Sometimes, the murderous aura emanating from Chen Han could even intimidate the surrounding beasts. Their instincts in the face of danger prevented them from approaching, and they could only watch helplessly as their delicious prey disappeared into the distance.

As for Zhuge Rushuang, she could kill most of the strange beasts, but she deliberately hid behind Chen Han and did not make a move, just to see how strong he really was, so that she would have a better understanding of his strength.

But the reality shocked and disappointed her. Chen Han displayed a powerful suppressive force when facing each of the strange beasts, his face always showing a calm and composed demeanor, as if dealing with these strange beasts was just an ordinary task.

As for Chen Han, he naturally knew about Zhuge Rushuang's little scheme, but he didn't care. The truth was indeed as Zhuge Rushuang had seen.

Previously, deep in the wilderness, he often had to be vigilant and explore his surroundings, almost always looking three steps ahead before taking another, being extremely cautious, because at that time there were small creatures in the wilderness that could easily tear him apart.

But now, apart from the monster that escaped from Eagle Falcon Mountain, the others are no different from trash, at most at the level of a first-level martial artist.

This was naturally no problem for Chen Han. Zhuge Rushuang was simply overthinking things if she thought she could use this to figure him out.

And so, three days passed in the blink of an eye. At noon that day, the two finally arrived at the place where the demonic python was discovered, as recorded in the secret shrine of the palace.

"This is it. It does look a bit off... Look over there..."

Zhuge Rushuang pointed to several giant trees that had obviously been broken by the huge object and a river channel that had been blocked.

"And there too."

She looked at another spot where the vegetation and rocks were in disarray, clearly not formed naturally. It was obvious that two enormous beasts had fought there. Although many days had passed, the damage was so great that it was hard not to notice.

Among them were large patches of bloodstains, staining the stone walls and trees. There was even a small pool of blood in the center, which appeared to be up to an adult's thigh.

"It's definitely that demonic python."

Chen Han analyzed, "To put it bluntly, the demon python is still a python. Pythons have the nature of pythons, which is to strangle their prey to death when hunting and then swallow it whole."

"Look at this place, it matches perfectly. There is only blood but no bones, so it was obviously swallowed."

Chen Han spoke eloquently, and his analysis was logical and well-founded.

"But so many days have passed, how do you know where that python went? The wilderness is so vast, are we supposed to search every single place?"

Zhuge Rushuang nodded in affirmation of Chen Han's judgment, and then asked.

"Of course I have a way of doing that. Just follow me."

Chen Han was not worried about this at all and took the lead.
