I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Li Fuyao had long heard of Qin Li's methods of torturing people.

But Zhang Hu is at least a half-step Grandmaster, how could Qin Li possibly kill him?

However, since Elder Snake had already said that, Li Fuyao couldn't make a move.

Seeing that Li Fuyao was no longer attacking him, Zhang Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

Facing the attack of a true grandmaster, he was under immense pressure, not to mention that the opponent was a grandmaster of Li Fuyao's caliber, someone no one in the Great Zhou could withstand.

"Hurry up and come out with me. The snake-slaying competition is about to begin. What kind of snake-slaying will we be able to slay without you, the old snake, showing up?"

Zhang Hu spoke in a commanding tone.

Upon hearing this, everyone was truly baffled as to where Zhang Hu got such an imposing manner to say such a thing.

Because as long as Li Fuyao is here, they will not be able to bypass Li Fuyao and take Snake Elder out.

But the next moment, they heard the old snake say, "Little tiger cub, what's the rush? Let me finish my wine before we go out."

"Alright, you may leave now. I'll be going out in a bit."

Everyone was stunned. Old Snake would actually go out?

Li Fuyao was also taken aback, and quickly said, "Old Snake, what are you going out for? As long as I'm here, even if Zhang Long comes in person, he can't take you away."

"Today's snake-slaying ceremony is aimed at you. As long as you don't go out, let's see who they slay. Then, the whole world will laugh at the Dragon Tiger Sect."

The Purple Star Immortal, who was pouring wine for the two of them, nodded, agreeing with Li Fuyao's point.

Old Snake waved his hand and said with a smile, "I've been locked up here for too long, I want to go out and bask in the sun. Besides, if I don't go out and show myself, how will my disciple uproot the Dragon Tiger Sect?"

Hearing this, Zhang Hu outside the cell laughed incessantly: "What level of strength does your disciple have? I could crush him with one hand. You think you can uproot our Dragon Tiger Sect? You must be dreaming."

Master Ziwei mustered her courage and said, "He is the Crown Prince."

Zhang Hu glared at her fiercely and said, "So what if he's the Crown Prince? He's the Crown Prince in the capital, but he's nothing in Jiangnan. If you piss me off, I'll kill even the Crown Prince!"

Startled by Zhang Hu's words, Master Ziwei immediately fell silent, but kept muttering to herself, "He is the Crown Prince, he is the Crown Prince..."

"Guards, seize all these Taoist nuns! Since you old snake don't know how to enjoy yourself, then tonight, I'm going to have some fun!"

Zhang Hu ordered the elders and disciples to rush in and capture all the disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect, as well as their sect leader, Master Ziwei.

However, before they could make a move, Li Fuyao said:

"You dare!?"

The elders and disciples immediately stopped making a move and looked at Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu was furious and said fiercely, "Li Fuyao, aren't you meddling too much? It's one thing for you to stand up for this old snake, but what do you have to do with these Taoist nuns?"

Li Fuyao said, "We didn't interact before, but things are different now. I've taught her a few moves these past few days, so she's practically my apprentice now."

"You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog. You arrested my disciple and now you're saying I'm meddling? Do you want another sword strike?"

After speaking, Li Fuyao prepared to condense sword energy once again.

Zhang Hu instinctively stepped back.

He definitely wouldn't be able to handle it if it happened again.

Seeing Zhang Hu retreat, Li Fuyao laughed loudly: "Half-step Grandmaster? I don't know who bestowed this title upon you two brothers. You can't even withstand three of my sword strikes, yet you dare to call yourselves half-step Grandmasters?"

Zhang Hu's face was extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Li Fuyao, don't be so arrogant! One day I will become a true grandmaster, and then we'll fight again and see who wins!"

"Commendable courage," Li Fuyao replied perfunctorily.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Zhang Hu said, "No matter what, I must get these Taoist nuns out of here today!"

"Why can't you understand human language?"

Li Fuyao frowned and said, "You want to take them away because you value their natural potential as furnaces for cultivation, but you, a half-step Grandmaster, don't need a furnace, do you?"

"Do you intend to give them to your disciples? That would be fine; they would greatly benefit their cultivation!"

"But I must say, my disciple's physical body as a furnace or vessel no longer exists!"

Zhang Hu frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Fools!" Li Fuyao couldn't help but curse, "You mean you're too late? My disciple was already taken by someone else long before you caught him."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hu looked incredulously at the Purple Star Immortal kneeling beside Li Fuyao and Snake Elder.

If we're talking about the best furnace in the world, it has to be the Jade Maiden Sect.

Because every disciple of the Jade Maiden Sect possesses the Xuan Yin Body.

Obtaining one is worth decades of arduous practice.

If we're talking about who the best furnace vessel is in the Jade Maiden Sect, it's definitely the current sect leader, Master Ziwei!

To obtain the guidance of the Purple Star Immortal is equivalent to a hundred years of arduous cultivation!

But now Li Fuyao tells him that someone else has beaten him to it.

In other words, the Ziwei Zhenren, whom the Dragon Tiger Sect had gone to great lengths to capture, was actually of little use, just like any other ordinary woman in the world.

How is that possible?

"Who beat them to it?"

Zhang Hu demanded an explanation.

Although Master Ziwei is of little use to the two brothers, there are plenty of young disciples in the Dragon Tiger Sect. The brothers have even promised that whoever performs best in the upcoming Serpent Slaying Tournament will receive Master Ziwei.

But who knew that they could not keep their word after making those promises?

Li Fuyao shook his head. "How would I know? You'll have to ask my disciple, or Old Snake probably knows too."

In recent days, Li Fuyao had tried to subtly inquire, but had not managed to get the answer.

Wang Hu hurriedly looked at Master Ziwei, but Master Ziwei lowered her head, biting her lip tightly, her face filled with shame and indignation, unable to speak of that experience.

As for Old Snake, it was even less likely he would say anything, as he still had to consider the feelings of his disciple, Master Ziwei.

Seeing that Zhang Hu was about to ask more questions, Old Snake said impatiently, "Aren't you leaving? If you don't leave now, I'm not going out for a while. If I really don't leave, it will prove what that drunkard just said. Let's see where you Dragon Tiger Sect's face will be then!"

Upon hearing this, the elders and disciples quickly gathered around, urging Zhang Hu to leave immediately.

If they really anger the snake, they'll be the ones who suffer in the end!

After coming out, Zhang Hu led his men straight to the square.

Zhang Long was somewhat surprised to see Zhang Hu come out so quickly.

"That old snake won't come out, right?"

Zhang Long answered himself, "It's alright, I have plenty of ways. I'll go there myself."

The elders quickly stopped them, saying, "Sect Leader, wait! That old snake is willing to come out."

"Are you willing to come out?"

Zhang Long was clearly startled.

Over the next few hours, the elders told Zhang Long everything that had happened in the dungeon.

After listening, Zhang Long nodded in satisfaction.

That would be best, so he wouldn't have to make another trip.

"Brother, what should we do? Someone else has already beaten us to it."

Zhang Hu was still bothered by this matter because he had made a promise to his disciple and did not want to break his word.

Unlike Zhang Hu, Zhang Long didn't mind at all. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's okay. Only a few of us know about this. As long as we don't say anything, no one else will know."

Since Master Ziwei has already been taken by someone else, he, as the Grand Master, must consider another use for Master Ziwei in order to maximize his benefits.

As they were talking, someone else ran over: "Sect Leader, something terrible has happened! Patriarch Pei and Patriarch Lu are at odds again."

Zhang Long sighed heavily, feeling worse than if he had swallowed a fly.

But ignoring it wouldn't do; he had to go again.

He vowed this was the last time. If the two of them still didn't give him, the sect leader, any face, he wouldn't care about their status as heads of the six great families...
