Living forever in the deep palace

"too strong!"

"Is this the strength of the factory owner?"

"You are worthy of being the one I want to pursue. Right now, I, Chu Xiao, am only third on the Yellow List, but sooner or later, I will be like my adoptive father, number one on the Martial List, the top of the world, and fight against the Grandmaster..."

"Hahaha!"

"If I can't destroy Daliang's kingdom today, then I'll wait until I become a top-ranked warrior and my adoptive father becomes a master. Then I'll turn Daliang upside down!"

The feminine eunuch Chu Xiao laughed wantonly, extremely excited, his robes fluttering in the wind, his figure like a stream of lightning, following the direction in which the purple-robed figure had left.

behind him.

"Zhang Gui has reached his limit."

"You came."

Tick ​​tock.

"Three hundred years of dynasties, among the many emperors, this useless seventh prince was actually a true successor emperor, the second emperor of Daliang. However, not long after, Liang Taizu ascended the throne as the Jianwu Emperor as the fifth son, and corrected everything back on track..."

night.

At this time, the strongest people in the world gathered inside and outside the imperial city, waiting for the outcome of the battle, and witnessed with their own eyes the peerless grace of Zhang Gui, the first prisoner in purple robes and the world's number one traitor.

"But my Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art is too overbearing. It doesn't burn lifespan, but rather innate lifespan. Otherwise, with my talent, even if I were brilliant, it would be impossible for me to reach the peak of the Double First Rank by the age of thirty, and even fight against a Grandmaster..."

"It's a pity that I can no longer...drink Bairu wine with you..."

next moment.

"Why is Bairu wine so bitter tonight?"

The best in the world, Zhang Gui in purple robe.

"Originally, I wanted to invite the emperor to die and slaughter all the powerful people of Daliang before drinking with you. But I didn't expect that more than a dozen masters would die in this battle. Ahem, even I am going to die..."

"My name isn't actually Zhang Gui, it's Chu Gui, the Chu from the Chu Kingdom on the border!"

Zhang Gui turned around and smiled slowly towards Su Chen, who was wearing a ghost mask and a black robe outside the library. He looked just like when they first met, with eyes like deep pools, a smile on his lips, and a bottle of Bairu wine hanging around his waist.

Zhang Gui was like a candle in the wind, with only the spiritual flame left.

In the courtyard, Su Chen sat on a stone chair, swept the dust off the teacup, poured out the bottle of blood-stained Bairu wine, drank silently, and listened silently.

Only Su Chen knows.

"Hahaha!"

"No wonder those deputy stewards who disappeared into the library never caused much trouble in the palace..."

The bottle of Bairu wine was covered in blood.

Su Chen said.

"Daliang has never had a successor emperor. Why did the deposed Seventh Prince die? Why didn't that purple-robed First Supervisor take him seriously? It's because he wasn't the emperor who was supposed to succeed him!"

"I was completely hopeless, but then I met you. I got an opportunity and soared to the sky. I now have wealth, cultivation, power, everything."

Su Chen, who was about to escape from the palace, stopped and changed direction, heading towards the most secluded corner of the palace, the library where he had lived for nine years.

Su Chen took the Bai Ru wine and felt for the first time how heavy the wine was and how cold Zhang Gui's palm was.

For the first time in nine years, a strong feeling of pain and discomfort emerged.

He slumped on the ground, leaning against the blooming hibiscus tree, the rain pouring down on his body and wetting his eyes.

"This..." Su Chen's eyes suddenly widened.

The library was completely empty.

Beneath his robe, Zhang Guiti's path to perfection, his flawless, first-grade body, was bleeding profusely. His skin beneath the robe was like broken porcelain, covered in bloody cracks...

"A single blow against the great demon completely consumed the last of his lifespan!"

A wisp of white true energy penetrated the bare branches of the hibiscus tree. In an instant, the white branches and leaves opened up, and hibiscus flowers shining with silver light bloomed on the treetop.

Su Chen's voice was a little hoarse.

"Ancestor Liang, through some unspeakable evil technique, constantly killed his descendants, ate their hearts and livers, and replaced their identities. This is how he lived for three hundred years, from Emperor Yu of Liang to Emperor Wen of Liang, Emperor Tianwu, and finally Emperor Jianwu..."

"pity."

This night.

"This hibiscus flower is so beautiful!"

"no!"

"Although I don't know what secrets you have, nine years have passed. I'm already in my thirties, but you still look as young as when I first met you."

"You have the means to increase the lifespan of living people and their vitality."

She was wearing a purple robe, with her hands behind her back, looking up at the moon, waiting for Su Chen's arrival under the only hibiscus tree in the courtyard.

It turns out that Daliang has always had an emperor, and he guessed wrong!

Even he couldn't save her.

"I know."

"Su Chen! Live well and take my share with you..."

"We, seven Grandmasters, plus an insider from Tianwu Tower, two First Priests, and several other defected First-Rank masters, attacked together on the night of a deep full moon. We, against a dozen Junior Grandmasters, still couldn't win!"

"I see."

The third day of the seventh month in the seventh year of Jianwu.

In the future, he will surely become a terrifying master.

"You better be more careful!"

Su Chen, who was originally fleeing, suddenly stopped and fell silent for a while. He did not look in the direction where the purple robe disappeared, but looked at the library in the distance and sighed softly.

Zhang Gui was bleeding from all seven orifices, but he didn't care. His eyes were like deep pools. He turned to look at the bare hibiscus tree in the courtyard, and his eyes became dazed again.

Su Chen drank the last sip of Bairu wine, feeling depressed. He had never felt the wine was so bitter.

"When I learned of the old emperor's death, I was ready to give up on revenge."

even so.

Su Chen knew that the secret was that the old emperor was not dead. Emperor Jianwu was Emperor Tianwu. The old emperor replaced the identity of the fifth son, killed the seventh son and took his heart and liver, and served as the ruler of the revival of Daliang for nine years.

"Emperor Jianwu is actually Emperor Tianwu, right?"

Zhang Gui is dead.

The seed of immortality that had grown roots trembled at this moment and grew rapidly, becoming a finger-long tree like a sapling.

"This bottle of wine is reserved especially for you."

however.

Su Chen walked forward and looked at the old man in purple robe standing with his hands behind his back, looking up at the flowers. He was already dead.

In this short while, Zhang Gui's purple robe was soaked with blood, and the sticky blood dripped and gathered at his feet like a pool of blood.

"I just want to see you one last time before I die, my only friend in this life."

"After I leave, there will be no one to protect you and take care of everything for you in secret..."

At this moment, Zhang Gui's appearance quickly faded. His long black hair also turned snow-white at this moment and spread rapidly. In a blink of an eye, his flesh and blood dried up, and he looked like an old man covered in decay, exuding the air of old age.

"No!"

Zhang Gui still had a smile on his face as he looked at Su Chen, as if the person who was about to die was not him.

"He's going to die!"

"For revenge, I took someone else's identity and became a eunuch. I was extremely cautious and wanted to take revenge, but without the resources of the Chu State, even if I was a martial arts prodigy, I would be no different from dust..."

"But I know a secret..."

"The only one who still exists is the first great ancestor of Daliang, who is also the great demon you saw in the Tianwu Tower. Of course, he was once a human..."

A generation of emperor turned into a demon and survived for three hundred years.

"Why is this rainwater salty... Why is it salty..."

It's raining!

Su Chen looked at the rain falling from the sky, seeming to be crying and laughing. The feeling of dullness and emptiness in his heart could not be shaken off.

"I really want to see the hibiscus flowers blooming in Chu State again..."

"do you know?"

The thousand-year-old ginseng king in Su Chen's arms slowly dried up, and thirty-two strands of immortality energy emerged from the precious medicine and flowed into Su Chen's body, and one hundred strands of immortality energy gathered together.

Even if the Qi of immortality can ripen a thousand-year-old precious medicine, protect the heart meridians, and keep the vitality unconscious, there are still some things that cannot be done, and that is the innate lifespan.

Torrential rain.

"Fortunately, before I died, I still fulfilled the promise I made to you. This way, I have one less thing to regret! If I become the number one purple robe supervisor, I will promise you the second best red robe..."

In the courtyard, flowers are in full bloom, leaves are green, and the hibiscus is shining under the moon.

"I can't save you."

At this moment, the Bairu wine in Su Chen's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Zhang Gui's eyes gradually became dull and he was about to die.

"According to your innate lifespan, you still have one month to live..."

Daliang, actually has such a secret?

"Why bother!"

This strong emotion stimulated him so much pain!

Zhang Gui glanced at Su Chen and smiled.

"I didn't expect that you, who don't care about power, beauty, or anything else, would actually investigate this matter. I thought there was nothing in this world that you cared about."

in view.

however.

"Ugh."

"This bottle of wine is still drinkable."

"Emperor Tianwu ordered the border troops to massacre Chu State in order to obtain the thousand-year-old precious medicine that appeared in the world. Among the entire royal family of Chu State, I was the only one who had the good luck to escape with my life in Liang State..."

"Here!"

as predicted.

"Su Chen, ah, Su Chen!"

He has no future.

Under the hibiscus tree, Zhang Gui looked up at the bright moon, stretched out his right hand, his eyes were trance-like, as if he wanted to embrace the moon, and whispered softly.

"But it's really not true. There has never been an Emperor Jianwu, Emperor Tianwu, or even Emperor Wen of Liang in the previous generation, or Emperor Yu of Liang in the generation before that. None of these people existed."

That night, Su Chen's Qi realm, which had been trapped for nine years, loosened.

The whole body is filled with a hundred streams of vital energy, gathering together like rivers, lakes and seas, spreading throughout the body.

He is in the fourth realm!
