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

Chapter 153 Burial

Zhuge Rushuang looked up at the object in Lu Tianren's hand; it was the yellow talisman that Chen Han had left for her earlier.

She had never paid attention to this item before, and she hadn't even thought of it when facing all the enemies just now, only realizing it now.

"Guards, summon the Imperial Guards to the palace... We are preparing to welcome our distinguished guests..."

As he spoke, the yellow talisman in his hand spontaneously combusted without fire.

Before long, a figure appeared outside the palace gate.

This person was Chen Han.

He was dressed in a black outfit, his strong and well-proportioned body was faintly visible, and he exuded a murderous aura that made people tremble with fear.

However, he wore a black veil and a bamboo hat, making it impossible for ordinary people to see his face. Even now, it cannot conceal the invisible pressure he exudes.

He walked straight through the gate and was immediately met by a massive army of black-armored imperial guards, their ranks perfectly aligned and ready for battle.

Beside the door stood several eunuchs and palace maids with their heads bowed. This was the first time such a display of power had been seen in the palace, making them very uneasy. They dared not move, let alone stop this strange man.

Without pausing, Chen Han walked straight towards the main hall along the central avenue. A quick glance around revealed nineteen martial artists...

Master, four hundred warriors.

Seeing this, Chen Han remained expressionless, his heart unmoved.

He strode into the main hall and saw Zhuge Rushuang kneeling in the center, severely injured.

A sharp sword hung above her head; Chen Han recognized it as a magical artifact.

Zhuge Rushuang turned her head to look at Chen Han, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She couldn't believe that Chen Han would still come to save her without hesitation when such an obvious trap was right in front of him.

"I knew I didn't help the wrong person..."

At this moment, Zhuge Rushuang's beautiful eyes trembled, overwhelmed with emotion.

"Brother Chen Han, tsk tsk tsk, I never expected that you would actually walk into a trap for such an insignificant woman."

Lu Tianren stood up from the dragon throne, slowly walked to Zhuge Rushuang's side, bent down, pinched her face and forced her to look up, examining her closely.

"She is a beauty, but she is ultimately just a mortal woman. We cultivators value being free from desires and pursuing the Dao wholeheartedly. It is understandable that you, who have just become a cultivator, would make such a mistake."

Chen Han smiled faintly, neither happy nor sad, making him unfathomable.

"Without desires or wants, wouldn't you just become a stone? Lu Tianren, tell me your conditions quickly, don't waste our time."

Facing the overwhelming force of the Imperial Guard, nineteen peak-level martial arts masters, and one cultivator, Chen Han showed no fear.

"Or are you trying to force me to submit with this? Lu Tianren, you overestimate these useless people... Or are you trying to control me with this woman?"

"Then I'll tell you now, you're too naive."

"Miss Zhuge, rest assured, if he dares to kill you, I will make him pay with his life..."

'

Zhuge Rushuang was deeply moved and was thinking of sticking with this person from now on, but when she heard Chen Han say such a thing, her expression froze and her face turned black.

Chen Han showed no fear, his voice was cold, and he did not hesitate for a moment despite Lu Tianren's coercion.

Of course I cannot hesitate; only in this way can I make the most correct choice in response to coercion.

If I fall into a disadvantageous position, not just one person will die, but everyone will die!

Chen Han was a shrewd and calculating man, so how could he not know what Lu Tianren was thinking?

As expected, Lu Tianren frowned deeply at this moment, his expression unpredictable. After a while, he laughed and put down the pretty face in his hand. He looked at Chen Han, his voice carrying a hint of warmth.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you have only just begun your cultivation journey and have never even stepped into the world of cultivation. As your senior, I advise you not to engage in so much fighting and killing."

He walked back and forth, talking tirelessly, just as if he were really teaching a younger generation.

"There are always people more capable than you, and there are always higher levels to reach. You've come a long way from being an ordinary person to achieving what you have today. I've been through it all, and I know how difficult it truly has been. That's why you should cherish life even more than others. What do you say, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

"Damn it, enough with the nonsense. Do you want the spirit stone artifact I have?"

Chen Han looked impatient and started cursing, asking bluntly.

"you..."

Lu Tianren's composed expression, which he had managed to maintain, froze when Chen Han spoke, turning into annoyance. However, upon hearing the words "spirit stone and magic weapon," he forcibly suppressed his emotions.

He worked hard for nearly three years, busy with all sorts of things, just for these spiritual objects.

At this moment, he had no idea what level Chen Han's strength had reached, what his trump cards were, what kind of cultivation techniques he practiced, or what kind of magical artifacts he possessed. Even with the help of powerful secular martial artists, he dared not rashly attack him.

Moreover, Chen Han is a man of profound cunning. To cultivate to the point of being able to kill Su Zhenyue in such a short time demonstrates his exceptional comprehension and strength.

He dared not take this unknown risk, so even if he was angry, he had to swallow his anger.

"That's right, if you give me these things, I'll leave and won't bother you anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Han laughed wildly and shouted, "Fine, then come and get it yourself."

As he spoke, he suddenly waved his hand, and the storage bag at his waist flew out from the left side. At the same time, an iron chain shot out from Chen Han's black sleeve, tightly binding the storage bag in mid-air like a snake.

Immediately, Chen Han's magic surged in his hand, and with a strong grip, a tremendous force was transmitted from his hand and attached to the chain. The chain tightened link by link and strangled the storage bag at the end.

A magical artifact! Oh no!

Lu Tianren was stunned for a moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, and before he could react, he rushed over. At the same time, he manipulated the magic weapon above Zhuge Rushuang's head to turn the sword tip and shoot it towards the chain.

In the end, Lu Tianren was fast enough. He used the sword to cut the chain, and the magic power broke, the immense force dissipated, and he caught the storage bag steadily.

"You, you, you're really ruthless. You've really surprised me once again."

Lu Tianren was panting heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat. That moment had been terrifying; he felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

These are all treasures for cultivating immortality; he would be heartbroken if they were destroyed.

Earlier, Chen Han had already arrived beside Zhuge Rushuang, lifted her up by her knees with one hand and supported her back with the other, while checking her body for any tampering. Sure enough, he found an explosive talisman, which burned to ashes in his hand as soon as he peeled it off.

That bastard is really cunning.

Chen Han cursed inwardly.

"Miss Zhuge, how are you?"

Then, she asked Zhuge Rushuang in a low voice with concern.

This woman has helped him a great deal; how could he bear to watch her die without saving her?

"I'm alright, thank you—thank you for coming to save my daughter's life, young hero."

Zhuge Rushuang rarely showed a hint of shyness.

Chen Han felt somewhat awkward, thinking to himself that this woman was probably more than ten years older than him, yet she referred to herself as "little girl" in front of him.
