"Are you really here for the Hou Yi bow?"
Inside the palace, Chu Han suppressed the anger in his heart. If it weren't for the strength of the person in front of him, he would have already given the order to kill this arrogant person.
After knowing that Chu Bei was asking for the Hou Yi bow, Zhuge Chengfeng also had a trace of seriousness between his brows.
"To be precise, I'm not asking for it, but taking it back."
Chu Bei looked straight at Chu Han and pointed at Chen Nan. "The Hou Yi bow has an owner."
"You must be joking, right?"
Chu Han was burning with anger. "A thousand years ago, the Hou Yi bow was the national treasure of Chu. How could it have an owner?"
"Then can you draw the Hou Yi bow?" Chu Bei's lips curled into a playful smile.
"The Hou Yi bow is an immortal treasure and can only be used once a year. Half a year ago, I drew it once. Naturally, I can't draw it again now! "
Chu Han narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Bei. "You should know about this, right?"
Chu Bei didn't reply. Instead, he smiled and glanced at Chen Nan. "Show them what you're capable of."
"Alright!"
Meeting Chu Bei's gaze, Chen Nan nodded and reached into the sandalwood box.
The instant Chen Nan held the Hou Yi bow with both hands, a warm current flowed from the back of the bow to his palms.
In the next moment, the black Hou Yi bow began to emit a faint golden light and the bowstring trembled slightly.
"Even after ten thousand years, this feeling still hasn't changed. It's as if everything happened yesterday. Every time I hold it, it will hum happily and emit bursts of golden light. "
After muttering to himself, Chen Nan walked out of the hall. After scanning the surroundings, his gaze fixed on a newly built building. "Emperor Chu, is there anyone in that tower?"
"It was just completed three days ago. No one has moved in yet."
Chu Han's eyes were filled with confusion. "Why are you asking this?"
"I want to test if its power is still there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Nan took a step forward and squatted slightly. His left hand held the bow while his right hand emitted a golden light. An arrow formed from interweaving flashes of light was formed.
In front of the main hall, Chen Nan's expression was extremely focused. It was as if all he could see was the seven-story tower a hundred meters away.
As the bowstring slowly tightened, the pitch-black Hou Yi Bow began to glow with a faint golden light. In an instant, boundless Qi of Heaven and Earth surged towards the bow. Chen Nan's body also emitted a dazzling golden light, which was extremely dazzling.
At that moment, Chen Nan and the Hou Yi Bow seemed to have fused together. A powerful ripple of energy radiated out from him.
"How is that possible? The Hou Yi Bow can only be used once a year, and I've already used it once before. Why is he able to draw it again? "
Sensing the powerful and familiar energy fluctuation in the air, Chu Han couldn't help but take a step back, his eyes filled with confusion and surprise.
Chu Yu's eyes widened as she muttered, "So … so he's not simple either."
Chu Yu was incomparably shocked. Previously, she only knew that Chu Bei's methods were strange, that he was an old monster who had regained his youth, and that he was even a legendary Sixth Order expert.
Previously, she had thought that Chen Nan was just a small follower, and that his Qi was only at the early Second Order, which was roughly the same as hers.
However, Chen Nan, who had drawn the Hou Yi Bow, was like a mountain. His powerful aura was like that of a demon god descending to the world, giving people the urge to worship him.
The moment Chen Nan pulled the bowstring to its tightest, the wind and clouds surged, and thunder rumbled.
Swoosh!
Strong winds blew, and thunder rumbled. The golden arrow shot out like lightning.
Boom!
With a deafening sound, the thirty-meter-tall seven-story tower a hundred meters away was instantly shattered, and rubble flew everywhere.
Looking at the seven-story tower that had turned into ruins, Chu Han and Zhuge Chengfeng's expressions changed. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
"So powerful!"
Witnessing this scene, Chu Yu swallowed her saliva, dumbfounded.
The air slowly calmed down, and the dazzling golden light on Chen Nan's body gradually dimmed until it disappeared. However, the powerful aura on his body was still there, and his figure still gave people the feeling of a mountain.
"Is this the surprise that the light talent gave me?"
Chen Nan put away the Hou Yi Bow with joy on his face. Ten thousand years ago, not to mention the arrow just now, even one-tenth of its power was enough to make him collapse.
However, after consuming the Pill of Light, he didn't feel any exhaustion.
He had the confidence that as long as he wanted, not to mention one arrow, he could shoot ten or a hundred more arrows!
"Now do you believe that the Hou Yi Bow has an owner?" Chu Bei put his hands behind his back and looked at Chu Han playfully.
Chu Han was silent, and his face was a little ugly.
"Tomorrow is your sixtieth birthday, and I brought you a congratulatory gift."
Chu Bei took out the Blazing Immortal Lotus and handed it to Chu Han, then pointed at the Hou Yi Bow in Chen Nan's hand. "As for the Hou Yi Bow, I'm taking it back."
Chu Han was silent for a moment, then he took a deep breath and pointed at Chen Nan. "Since this young friend can draw the Hou Yi Bow a second time, even if he wasn't the previous owner of the Hou Yi Bow, he has now gained his recognition. I'm willing to fulfill your wish and return the Hou Yi Bow to you. "
After speaking, Chu Han looked at Chu Bei and said, "However, I have a presumptuous request. According to our spies, on my birthday tomorrow, the Heavenly Wind Nation's delegation will challenge the younger generation of my Chu Nation. The challenger's cultivation has already reached the third stage of the Great Ascension Realm, and he's also a Dragon Knight. Among the younger generation of my Chu Nation, there are few who can match him. I hope that the two of you can stay for a while, especially the owner of the Hou Yi Bow. He can represent my Chu Nation's younger generation to face the enemy tomorrow. "
"Sure."
Chu Bei nodded. "It's getting late, so let me have a good tour of the Chu Nation's imperial palace."
"Yue'er, accompany the two guests." Chu Han instructed Chu Yue.
"Father, you're really giving the Hou Yi Bow to them!"
After Chu Bei and the others left, Chu Yu looked at Chu Han with displeasure. "That's my Chu Nation's heirloom!"
"In the situation just now, would they return the Hou Yi Bow if I didn't give it to them?"
Chu Han's face was gloomy. "Even if that old monster isn't a sixth stage expert, he's at least a fifth stage Great Ascension Realm expert. Zhuge Chengfeng and I are no match for him. "
"Giving them the Hou Yi Bow is just a delaying tactic. The reason why I'm keeping them until tomorrow is to take back the Hou Yi Bow."
After speaking, Chu Han's eyes flashed with shrewdness. "Yu'er, quickly ask Ancestor Xuan to come out of seclusion!"
"Father is so considerate!" Understanding Chu Han's intention, Chu Yu nodded.
Chu Bei didn't know Chu Han's thoughts, but of course, even if he knew, he would still stay.
After all, in the face of strength, all schemes and tricks are superfluous!
The next day.
Chu Han's 60th birthday was held in the main hall of the inner palace. All the civil and military officials came to congratulate him, and rare treasures were piled up as gifts.
The most eye-catching thing was naturally the Blazing Fire Immortal Lotus that Chu Bei gave the day before. It was placed in a conspicuous position, and its fragrance refreshed the mind.
"Dear officials, let's eat, drink, and have fun today."
At the head of the table, Chu Han began to order the banquet after receiving the congratulatory gifts and praises from the officials.
In less than 15 minutes, the main hall was filled with singing and dancing. Melodious music and woodwind instruments were played, and the fragrance of wine assailed the nostrils.
The officials took their seats in an orderly manner, and the positions of different officials were different from Chu Han.
After taking their seats, the officials couldn't help but cast their gazes on the luxurious sandalwood chair next to Chu Han's dragon throne.
A young man in a long robe greeted Chu Han before slowly taking his seat. Behind the young man in the long robe stood a young man in a black robe. The young man in the black robe carried a black longbow on his back.
"Do you know who is sitting next to His Majesty?"
"I've never seen him before! But since he can sit on the same level as His Majesty, his identity must be extraordinary! "
"Even if the successors of those ancient sacred grounds came, they wouldn't have such qualifications, right? After all, our Chu Kingdom is one of the three great empires! "
"I saw him yesterday. He was even brought around the palace by Princess Chu Yue. Princess Chu Yue was very respectful to this person."
…
Just as the officials were sizing up Chu Bei and guessing his identity, Chu Han stood up from the dragon throne and raised the wine cup in his hand.
"Dear officials, I'm sure you're very curious about the identity of this distinguished guest next to me. Yesterday, he saved Yu 'er from danger twice, and his cultivation is unfathomable. He has already stepped into the legendary Stage Six! "
After saying a few simple words, Chu Han looked at Chu Bei. "Fellow Daoist, I'll toast you with this first cup of wine."
After saying that, Chu Han drank the wine in his cup in a forthright manner. Chu Bei immediately raised his wine cup to return the toast.
"What? Stage … Stage Six expert! "
Hearing that, the officials looked at Chu Bei again with a hint of surprise and respect in their eyes. They had the same thought in their hearts. An old monster who had lived for more than a hundred years and regained his youth!
Next, the main hall was filled with singing and dancing. Music lingered in the air, and the officials drank and chatted merrily.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes.
"Your Majesty, the founding emperor of the Chu Kingdom established the country with martial arts. On your birthday, it's too monotonous to only have singing and dancing. In recent years, our country has cultivated three pretty good juniors. Why don't we let them present a martial arts performance for you? "
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in foreign clothes stood up and bowed towards Chu Han. The originally peaceful atmosphere in the hall was also broken by his words.
"Envoy of the Windy Nation, you're really impressive. How can a subordinate nation like you show off martial arts in our Chu Kingdom's imperial banquet? "
"That's right! And don't think we don't know what you're thinking. Don't you just want to take the opportunity to show off? "
"Our Chu Kingdom has many talents. Even if we want to show off martial arts, it should be our Chu Kingdom's outstanding generation. Who do you think you are? "
…
The officials' faces were gloomy as they angrily rebuked one after another.
"Dear officials, please calm down."
Chu Han waved his hand, indicating for the officials to remain silent. Then, he looked at the envoy of the Windy Nation. "I also want to see how outstanding the three outstanding youths you've cultivated in recent years are."
As his voice fell, Chu Han made a gesture. The singers, dancers, and musicians all retreated.
After a long while, three people walked in from outside the hall. They were all in their twenties. Each of them was incomparably tall, and the muscles on their bodies were like dragons, full of explosive power.
