"You're transported to another world at the same time? What the hell is King Arthur?"

Zhang Tian grabbed Hong Sixiang by the back of his collar and pulled him down hard. He was overjoyed. Although this was part of his plan, plans never keep up with changes. The fact that it went so smoothly was beyond his expectations.

However, he was overjoyed.

His complexion remained unchanged.

It was simply because he still had a major problem to deal with.

Zhang Tian looked at Wu Zhu, who stood there without changing expression, and pretended to kindly remind him, "I heard that a new ninth-rank archer has appeared in the palace. His eyesight and hearing are unparalleled. If we succeed, will he be in danger?"

Although Wu Zhu had noticed Hong Sixiang's strange behavior earlier, and Zhang Tian's peculiar acupressure technique that could actually seal Hong Sixiang's movements, he felt no curiosity whatsoever.

It's only because he is a military robot created by the temple and doesn't have much independent consciousness that people would have become suspicious long ago.

After all, he had always thought that Hong Sixiang was the legendary Grandmaster in the palace, but it turned out that the other party's strength was far from reaching that level.

So who is the true grandmaster?

Wu Zhu didn't care; he only cared about Ye Qingmei and Fan Xian. After hearing Zhang Tian's words, his calm expression changed slightly. He nodded slowly and disappeared in a flash.

As for what to do with Hong Sixiang?

Wu Zhu didn't care at all.

Seeing Wu Zhu leave, Zhang Tian finally felt relieved and immediately took Hong Sixiang to hide in a nearby secluded spot.

Then his eyes filled with greed.

It was as if they were looking at a rare treasure.

He just stared at Hong Sixiang like that.

The sight of it sent chills down the other person's spine.

Zhang Tian, ​​with a touch of mischievousness, activated the other party's pressure points, allowing Hong Sixiang to speak. Presumably, the other party was full of questions at this moment.

Hong Sixiang spoke up.

There was no pleading, no curiosity about why he had acted strangely, and no inquiry into Zhang Tian's origins—whether he was a disciple of Si Gu Jian or Ye Liuyun. Instead, he threatened, "His Majesty is the ruler of Qing Kingdom. If you harm him in the slightest, the people of Qing Kingdom will fight to the death, to the last drop of blood! It will be a fight to the death!"

Even if he has fallen to this state.

He remained loyal and devoted to Emperor Qing.

They are still thinking about each other.

This immediately disappointed Zhang Tian, ​​who chuckled coldly, "You've come this far and you're still thinking of him? Have you ever considered that he's never treated you like a human being? You're too servile!"

He was well aware of Hong Sixiang's fate. With his top-tier ninth-rank strength, he could live a carefree life anywhere.

As a result, the other party became Emperor Qing's pawn.

It became a shield to attract Kuhe's attention.

With one's own life.

In exchange for a chance for Emperor Qing to make a move.

He was blown apart by Ku He, his flesh and blood scattered everywhere, his body left no trace. He was discarded by Emperor Qing like trash, who couldn't remember a single bit of his loyalty. How pathetic!

Zhang Tian, ​​no longer wanting to pay attention to the other party, directly activated the Star Absorbing Technique and sneered in a low voice, "Do you think I wouldn't know that Emperor Qing is the true Grandmaster in the palace just because you didn't say anything?"

"It was Ye Qingmei who made him who he is today."

"But what was the result?"

"So this is the emperor you serve!"

Seeing the incredulous look in Hong Sixiang's eyes, he felt a surge of exhilaration. He placed his hand on the other's dantian, and a terrifying suction force erupted, directly and ruthlessly plundering the massive amount of domineering true qi that the other had painstakingly cultivated for many years and which was almost of the same origin as his own.

Hong Sixiang was completely immobile.

They could only watch helplessly as their lives slipped away rapidly.

A look of terror flashed in his eyes.

My heart was filled with such panic.

This unparalleled master in the martial arts world, recalling the events of that year, was gripped by unprecedented fear. Had Ye Qingmei returned?

Is the temple returning in revenge?

Was it divine punishment?

Hong Sixiang is dead.

He died without ever understanding Zhang Tian's origins, many questions lingering in his mind.

After absorbing all the domineering true energy from the other party's body, Zhang Tian mercilessly killed him and threw the corpse onto the street. Then, using his superb lightness skill, he left under the cover of darkness.

He carried that enormous thing with him.

It's causing turmoil inside my body.

The domineering true energy returned to the Fan residence and to his room.

Zhang Tian quickly sat cross-legged, continuously refining the surging, domineering true energy for his own use. The meridians in his body, which had been empty for a long time, were finally filled and began to charge forward.

In the blink of an eye.

It opened up many meridians.

It's running there.

Walking on a more complicated route map.

"boom!"

The true energy was shattered in an instant.

His true qi broke through to the sixth rank.

In the blink of an eye, his true energy broke through to the second level, and his cultivation level rose to a higher level.

Seventh-grade cultivation level.

Eighth-rank cultivation level.

After pausing for a few breaths, the surging, domineering true energy filled the newly opened meridians and continued its rampage, circulating with overwhelming force.

Rank 8 (middle).

Rank 8, Upper

Nine products!

Rank 9 (middle).

Rank Nine, Upper!

Having reached this terrifying level, the massive amount of domineering true energy plundered from Hong Sixiang had become exhausted and could no longer advance.

The Star Absorbing Technique is, after all, just the Star Absorbing Technique.

Ultimately, it wasn't the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

The process of plundering and transforming resulted in excessive losses. If Hong Sixiang hadn't cultivated the domineering true qi, whose internal true qi was far more abundant than other ninth-rank masters, and if this domineering true qi hadn't originated from the same source, Zhang Tian probably wouldn't have been able to reach this level.

"call!"

Zhang Tian took a deep breath, clenched his fists slightly, and felt the immense boost from the surging domineering true energy. His eyes were filled with undisguised joy.

His weakness lay in his internal energy.

This shortcoming has now been completely addressed.

In addition, there's that terrifying lightness skill, the sinister swordsmanship, and most importantly, the silence skill, as well as the constant health regeneration during battle.

He is the true number one among the ninth rank!

He is unrivaled among the nine ranks.

However, Zhang Tian showed no arrogance or intention to show off, because he knew very well that even the strongest ninth-rank cultivator was no match for a grandmaster, and the capital city was about to enter its most frenzied hunting period.

Hong Sixiang was far too important to Emperor Qing. His plans of more than a decade had fallen apart in an instant, much like Zhu Yuanzhang would have gone completely mad upon learning of the death of his protégé, Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

Anything can happen!

really.

The guards who were tracking the group quickly found the place where the three had fought. The alley was full of terrifying traces, and they also found Hong Sixiang's body.

"Who is this?"

"It must be from inside the palace."

They are too low-ranking.

By the time Emperor Qing learned the news, it was almost dawn. Eunuch Hou's voice trembled, and his legs went weak. "Your Majesty...Master Hong is dead. He was murdered."

"Who? Who did you say?"

Emperor Qing sat bolt upright in bed, utterly enraged, his eyes wide and round, like a man-eating beast.

After confirming the news once again.

He clenched his fists involuntarily, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

His words were filled with extreme anger.

"Announce Chen Pingping!"

"Let him investigate!"

"The Qing Kingdom will not tolerate the existence of such a person!!"
