When the old eunuch came with a large group of eunuch guards to announce the edict, Xie Tian had already finished his cultivation and was lying on the bed.
This was the first time Xie Tian had seen a situation where everyone had to kneel when listening to one person. If they did not kneel, it would be seen as a great disrespect. This rule applied to almost everyone.
Of course, he was an exception. Everyone knew that Liu Yang had broken all his limbs.
Silent, Xie Tian lay on the bed and listened to the words of the most powerful man in Song. He did not feel anything for the old eunuch, just like how he did not feel the black water at Yin Shen Peak.
The old eunuch was a master of the Innate Realm. This was what Xie Tian cared about.
After announcing the edict, the old eunuch walked to Xie Tian's bedside and said with a smile, "Young Master Xie Tian is not only talented in martial arts, but also has an amazing physique. You recovered from such a serious injury in two days. Sigh, I really envy you young people."
Seeing that Xie Tian did not speak, the old eunuch did not say anything else. Silent, he looked at Xie Tian from his forehead to his toes. The more he looked, the more shocked he was.
What a perfect body it was!
Unfortunately, not only did this perfect body lose its Natal Yang, but it was also a killing cultivator that everyone wanted to kill.
But wasn't this what the Emperor wanted? No supreme ruler of the Nine and Five would marry his most beloved daughter to a person who would die even shorter than a person with a short lifespan.
Moreover, Princess Qingping, who was cultivating at the top of the glacier, was not someone a secular martial arts genius could touch.
It wasn't until Zhao Ye gave the order for everyone to enter the palace for an audience that he understood what the Emperor he had served for most of his life really wanted to do. This plan was extremely dangerous, but he felt that it had a high chance of success.
The reason was not because of what the Emperor had said, that Xie Tian would give Xu Batian a lot of pressure and that Xu Zhantang had no choice but to give in to Xie Tian to prevent his Martial Heart from being affected. Instead, it was because Xie Tian might really be able to defeat Xu Zhantang.
After thinking for two days, the old eunuch finally figured out one thing. What kind of power could send the head of a warrior of Inner Qi Realm flying with one punch?
The answer was the Inner Qi Realm.
The old eunuch knew that there was such a cultivation method in the Red Cloud Peak called the Absorbing Stars Great Technique, which specialized in absorbing the internal Qi of martial artists. He guessed that even if Xie Tian had not practiced this vicious cultivation method, he would still have a similar method to absorb the internal Qi of his opponents.
This was the only way he could explain why Xie Tian was able to easily deal with the rain of arrows, needles, and sabers in his battle with Liu Yang. Moreover, he was able to endure all nine of the punches. If he wanted to absorb his opponent's inner Qi, he had to make physical contact.
Faced with such a strange person, the old eunuch was very interested. Unfortunately, his interest was not controlled by his will. The only person who could control his will was the Emperor.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to extinguish his curiosity towards Xie Tian, turned around and ordered, "Bring him in."
Xie Tian tilted his head to look and saw three imperial bodyguards escorting a man in. They kicked the man's knees hard, causing him to kneel on the ground.
"Raise your head."
Hearing this, the man raised his trembling head and looked at the old eunuch in fear.
"I heard that Young Master Xie Tian killed a few people a few days ago?" The old eunuch pointed at the kneeling man and said with a gentle smile, "I happened to hear about this and felt that it was necessary to take care of it for Young Master Xie Tian. So, I went to the Black Tiger Gang and brought Lin Shahu here."
"Young Master Xie Tian, spare, spare me, spare me!"
Lin Shahu kowtowed, trembling all over. He knew that his survival depended on a single thought from Xie Tian.
"What's your cultivation?"
"I, I, Inner Qi Realm Level Four, Level Four …"
Xie Tian looked at the old eunuch and said, "Let him go."
The old eunuch was a little surprised and asked with a smile, "Young Master Xie Tian, are you not going to solve this matter? You should know that the Black Tiger Gang has members in twenty-six cities of the Kingdom of Song and is the largest gang in the Kingdom of Song. If Young Master Xie Tian can't bear to do it, then I will help you … "
"No need."
The old eunuch was slightly startled and said with a smile, "Then, as Young Master Xie Tian wants, let him go."
Hearing this, Lin Shahu felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly kowtowed a few more times and crawled out of the room in embarrassment.
"Young Master Xie Tian, you should recuperate for the next two days." The old eunuch was ready to return home. Before leaving, he said with a smile, "After you recover, you don't need to participate in the Kung Fu Competition. His Majesty wants you to fight with Xu Zhantang. It would be best if you can win. Even if you lose, you should lose beautifully. In this way, your status will be worthy of Princess Qingping."
When he reached the door, the old eunuch remembered something and turned around with a smile. "By the way, the Dingtian Casino is the property of the royal family. Young Master Xie Tian, you'd better tell your friend not to gamble too much. Hehe, you know …"
After seeing off the imperial envoys, Zhou Zhaoyang ran in and said excitedly, "Xie Tian, I'm not wrong, am I? The Emperor has decreed a marriage! Haha, from now on, you will have a smooth life … "
Xie Tian ignored him and turned to look at Boss Jia, who was in a trance, and asked, "How much did you win?"
"Four, more than four thousand taels of yellow, gold …" Thinking of this number, Boss Jia almost fainted.
Xie Tian looked at Zhou Zhaoyang and asked, "Is this a big number?"
"How should I say it? It depends on the person." Zhou Zhaoyang scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "Four thousand taels of gold is four hundred thousand taels of silver, which is enough for a family to live a rich life for ten lifetimes. But for my Zhou Family, it is only two months' income."
"What about the royal family?"
Zhou Zhaoyang said bitterly, "I've made it very clear. Do you think my Zhou Family is more powerful than the royal family?"
"I understand." Xie Tian nodded and was about to say something else when Boss Jia, who had been in a daze for a long time, suddenly came back to his senses. He slid to the bed and knelt down, tears streaming down his face as he said, "Xie Tian, Prince Consort, how did you suddenly soar so high? You can't abandon me, your boss … Little Ma! Quick, support me … "
Looking at the fainted Boss Jia being supported out, Zhou Zhaoyang said in disdain, "You can even tolerate this kind of scumbag. If it was me, I would have sent him flying with a kick."
Xie Tian glanced at Zhou Zhaoyang and got up to leave the room.
"I haven't fought for two days. Come."
"Ah? No way! "
In the Great Sima Residence, the Martial Training Hall that had been struck by lightning had been renewed.
Xu Batian, who had returned to the residence, looked at Xu Zhantang, who was cultivating in the Martial Training Hall, with a calm expression.
"How long has Zhantang been cultivating?"
The chief steward who was serving at the side quickly replied, "Master, eighteen hours without a break."
"Is there enough Snow Ginseng Elixir in the residence?" Xu Batian asked with a slight frown.
The so-called Snow Ginseng Elixir had similar effects as the Dragon Leopard Elixir. They were both the best elixir to assist in cultivation of the corresponding realm. The Dragon Leopard Elixir could greatly improve the physique of a Brute Force realm martial artist and promote cultivation. On the other hand, the Snow Ginseng Elixir could not only harmonize Qi and blood, but it could also accelerate the growth of one's natal Inner Qi and greatly improve one's cultivation.
"Master, the supreme-grade Snow Ginseng Elixir has been consumed by Young Master. There are only medium-grade Snow Ginseng Elixir left." The chief steward paused and lowered his head. "If Young Master says it's fine, this old servant will do as you say …"
"Ridiculous!" Xu Batian's expression darkened as he looked coldly at the old chief steward. "My grandson can't even afford the supreme-grade Snow Ginseng Elixir?"
The chief steward was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said with a trembling voice, "This old servant knows his mistake. This old servant will go buy …"
"Buy all the supreme-grade Snow Ginseng Elixir in Bianliang City!" Xu Batian ordered coldly, "Since Zhan Tang wants to cultivate, as his grandfather, I will give him the best!" "Since Zhan Tang wants to cultivate, I will give him the best!"
After the chief steward left for a long time, Xu Batian silently left the fake mountain. He called Xu Ruhai to the study and told him everything that happened in the palace.
"Humph!" Xu Ruhai's expression was livid. He slammed the table and stood up, scolding, "My Xu Family did everything we could to protect the Song Nation for a hundred years. He did not consider my Xu Family's loyalty and repeatedly cooked the dog after the rabbit is dead. How preposterous!"
Xu Batian said coldly, "Where did you get the courage to say such disrespectful words to your father?"
"Father, it's not that I disrespect my father, but he, Zhao Ye …"
"Shut up!" Xu Batian's expression darkened. "If you say such disrespectful words again, I don't have a son like you!"
Xu Ruhai snorted angrily and smiled coldly. "Hehe, what a joke! He actually wants to use Xie Tian to threaten us. Does a murderous cultivator who angers men and gods and does not have long to live have the qualifications?! "
Xu Batian thought for a long time and sighed. "This is also something I don't understand. When Zhan Tang was at the first stage of Inner Qi Realm, he defeated Liu Yang in three moves. When Xie Tian defeated Liu Yang, there was suspicion of a sneak attack. Where does the Emperor get the confidence to think that Xie Tian can defeat Zhan Tang? It doesn't make sense …"
"Father, what doesn't make sense?" Xu Ruhai suddenly calmed down. "This is not the first time that Zhao Ye has targeted our Xu Family. When has he made a move that was presentable? In terms of ambition but talent, our Song Nation's Emperor is number one! "
Xu Batian seemed to think that Xu Ruhai's words made sense. He sighed and shook his head. "I believe that Zhan Tang's strength is enough for our Xu Family to survive this calamity. However, we still cannot be careless. I plan to let Zhan Tang consume that Nine Revolutions Return Pill. That way …"
"No!" Xu Ruhai exploded and said resolutely, "Father, that Nine Revolutions Return Pill is something you can use to prolong your life. There is only one in the entire Song Nation. If you give it to Zhan Tang, do you not want your life anymore?"
"Haha, what is the point of living for so long?"
Xu Batian smiled freely. He got up and rubbed his son's head. He said in a gratified manner, "The Nine Revolutions Return Pill can give me five years of lifespan. However, it can also improve Zhan Tang's physique and increase his cultivation. Ruhai, Zhan Tang is the most important person in our Xu Family. Even if we lose our lives, we have to protect him. "
Xu Ruhai still shook his head resolutely. "Father, I am very clear about this. However, you do not need to be so cautious this time. That killing cultivator is definitely not Zhan Tang …"
"That is what you think."
Xu Batian walked to a painting. There was a lion, a wolf, and a tiger in the painting. It was a portrait of the father and son of the Xu Family.
The lion was strong and domineering. The wolf was ferocious and ferocious. The tiger was full of killing intent as it looked around. Only the tiger cub lay on the ground and roared at the sky. The aura of looking down on the world was so strong that it seemed like it would flow out of the painting.
"I think so too."
Xu Batian turned around and looked at the hungry wolf. He asked indifferently, "Zhan Tang thinks so too?"
"Father, you want to …"
"Let's see how Zhan Tang chooses." Xu Batian lifted the painting and took out a box from the wall. He placed it on the desk and floated away. "Zhan Tang does not know the use of this item for me. You must not reveal it. Send it to the Martial Practice Hall."
Xu Zhan Tang looked at the item in the box and asked with a frown, "Father, isn't this the Nine Revolutions Return Pill?"
Xu Ruhai's face was expressionless. He smiled faintly and said, "It was those servants who did not do their job well. They actually cut off the supply of the best quality Snow Ginseng Pill. Your grandfather saw that you worked so hard, so he asked me to send this pill over. Although this pill focuses on health, if you take it, it will also strengthen your physique. It can at least increase your cultivation by one level. It is much more useful than the Snow Ginseng Pill."
Xu Zhan Tang silently looked at the Nine Revolutions Return Pill. The figure of Xie Tian that had disappeared not long ago appeared again in his mind.
Just as he was lost in thought, Xu Ruhai was also seriously looking at his son. At the same time, he constantly prayed in his heart, "Don't think! Don't hesitate! Refuse immediately! "
"Thank grandfather for me."
