Chapter 180 - Pry the Corner

No one would have thought that Qarhan Buroq would kill He Chuan and Li Ya at all costs.

It was obvious that he did not put the nobles of the grassland in his eyes.

The Blood Blade swept up a red light, enveloping the two people in the field.

He Chuan calmly picked up the sword in Lia’s hand and used the evil-warding sword technique’s ‘Devil’s Sweeper’.

With his strength, he did not need to do so, but he wanted to let Lia know what it meant to have an advantage.

Sword energy flew everywhere, and Hhe Chuan disappeared with Lia.

“God… So fast!” Qarhan Buroq clutched the wound on his neck and knelt on the ground, but he couldn’t stop the blood from flowing.

In the end, the strongest expert of the Xiongnu Tribe died.

They had suffered heavy losses in this competition. The inheritor of the absolute blade had been crippled, and the Eldest Princess and Sixth Princess Lia were probably the biggest winners.

The First Prince finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, when he thought of how the expert he had won over had died, he felt a little angry.

“In this competition, Princess Lia won the title of the tribe’s strongest warrior!” Tetumtan announced the result.

Although the title of the number one warrior this time was slightly exaggerated, it was still a satisfactory conclusion.

“It’s all thanks to Young Master He Chuan, otherwise Big Brother’s men would have made a big mistake.” The Third Prince looked at him carefully and immediately tried to build a relationship with He Chuan.

It didn’t matter whether the successor of the absolute blade won or lost. It was fine as long as the First Prince didn’t win.

However, this Sixth Sister was worth paying attention to.

With the help of an expert like He Chuan, she would have a higher chance of winning the position of King.

The other Princes and Princesses also came to congratulate her, but most of them tried to win him over.

Even if they were unhappy Lia had won the title of the number one warrior, they still had to put on a show.

Tetumtan asked Lia if she had any wishes, but Lia said that she hadn’t thought about it yet and would ask for it later.

The competition ended and the bonfire banquet began.

Cai Lian was looking forward to this. She liked everything related to food.

In the temporary main tent, Tetumtan was sitting in the main seat, with two half-step saint cultivators beside him.

“How is it? What did you find?”

“I’m afraid Qarhan Buroq has something to do with the Imperial Advisor,” One of the half-step saint cultivtaor with a beard said.

“Hmph! I’ll talk to the Grand Tutor. If Qarhan Buroq dared to kill Lia, wouldn’t he dare to kill me one day?” Tetumtan was very wary of the Imperial Advisor.

Because this Imperial Advisor was very mysterious, Tetumtan cooperated with him for his own benefit, but he also had to be on guard against him.

This was to prevent the Xiongnu Tribe from being consigned to eternal damnation.

“My King is right. No matter who is behind Tetumtan, killing a member of the royal family is a capital crime. I believe that the Imperial Advisor will not mind.” Another black-robed half-step saint cultivator said.

Hearing the obvious fear in the words of the two masters beside him, Tetumtan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Cooperating with the Imperial Advisor was like asking a tiger for its skin. If he was not careful, he would be gnawed clean. He could only place his hopes on the secret of the Central Plains.

At that time, the Xiongnu experts would be able to quickly increase their strength.

“Let’s not talk about Qarhan Buroq for now. How’s Lana doing?” Tetumtan was more concerned about the Zhou Dynasty. If they wanted to invade the Central Plains, they had to destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty first.

“Lana sent back a message saying that we still have to wait!” The black-robed half-step saint cultivator lowered his head, thinking about something.

“Wait? Did this woman not know what her mission was?” He told her to take care of herself and get rid of the obstacles as soon as possible. Tetumtan flicked his long sleeves, stood up, and walked out of the main tent.

As a King, he had to personally attend the bonfire party.

This way, he would appear to be close to the people below.

He Chuan slowly retracted his divine sense while holding his special kumis1.

It was just as he had thought.

Xiongnu had been able to rise so quickly in recent years because of the gods and demons. They had the same goal as Jue Lengxin, which was to obtain the secret of the Central Plains.

A hint of curiosity rose in his heart. What kind of secret would require the gods and devils to go through so much trouble to set up?

With the strength of gods and devils, wouldn’t it be better to personally go to the Central Plains to search?

Or could it be that there were also powerhouses like gods and demons in the Central Plains, and the current situation was formed because of their existence?

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

However, the more important issue at hand was Cheng’an. He Chuan had never thought that Cheng’an, after becoming the Emperor, would be so entranced by beauty that he would be unable to extricate himself.

He could understand if they were looking for a way to live forever or were obsessed with alchemy. However, they were just a few beauties. What charm did they have?

“Master, Sister Lian’er, try this beef tenderloin. This is a treatment that only warriors get.” Lia presented the beef tenderloin to He Chuan as if she was presenting a treasure.

Cai Lian was not polite when it came to eating, and it immediately took a large piece.

He Chuan picked up a small piece of beef and tasted it.

However, the taste was really good. The beef tenderloin was the most expensive part of a cow’s body. It was the essence of meat with low-fat content.

Today, apart from the royal family, only the warriors of the grassland could enjoy it.

This was the first time Lia had obtained beef tenderloin as a warrior, so her happy expression was clearly displayed on her face.

“From tomorrow onwards, I’ll double your cultivation, and also have lessons with Lian’er!” He Chuan gave the beef tenderloin to Cai Lian, very dissatisfied with Lia’s performance.

Using the evil-warding sword technique to fight against the heavy blade was clearly a brainless move.

“Oh!” Lia lowered her head and didn’t dare to say anything after being reprimanded. She knew that she had been too reckless during the battle.

If He Chuan hadn’t acted in time, she would have been either dead or injured.

“Young Master He Chuan, let me offer you a toast.” The Eldest Princess swayed her sexy waist and walked over to them, her charming face full of temptation.

She was blatantly trying to pry someone’s corner.

The Sixth Princess, Lia, was just a young and inexperienced little girl. How could she be as charming as a mature beauty like him?

Who knew how many of the men in the grasslands coveted the Eldest Princess’s beauty?

However, this kind of thing had no effect on He Chuan, because his lustfulness was all an act to confuse others.

He drank the wine in one gulp, his expression light and carefree, not changing because of the other party’s temptation.

It was only basic etiquette to drink with the other party.

“Hmph! Imperial Sister, aren’t you going to comfort your warrior Narisong? He lost so badly today.” Lia was like a little leopard protecting its food and immediately bared her sharp fangs at the Eldest Princess.

The competition had officially begun.

The silly girl was just a cover.

As the youngest princess, she could only rely on her father’s protection and had no bargaining chips to fight for power.

However, the situation was different now. With He Chuan as her backing, she had the right to participate in the game.

Most importantly, she had already become a great cultivator.

“Hehe, as expected, Sister Lia is the best actress. We were all fooled by you before!” The Eldest princess’s eyes shot out two sinister gazes.

At first, she had thought that her opponents would be the First Prince and the Third Prince because the other siblings were basically trash and had no right to touch the position of the King.

But now, she had a strong opponent.
