Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

This was the first time Xu Qingzhou had ever seen so many experts at the Heavenly Palace Realm, and they were all sitting at the same table with him.

They were all smiling and seemed very kind, and they kept saying nice things to each other.

Xu Qingzhou was tired of hearing phrases like "Chief Xu is young and promising," "a perfect match," and "a bright future."

Powerful figures from various factions are still arriving at the Xu family in Lingyue City.

Some people, upon arriving at the Xu family home, immediately sought out Xu Qingzhou to congratulate him.

Xu Qingzhou could exchange a few pleasantries with anyone, whether he knew them or not.

At this moment, another plain-looking, square-faced man walked over and offered his congratulations with clasped hands.

"Congratulations to Chief Xu on your marriage."

Xu Qingzhou didn't recognize him, but subconsciously replied, "Thank you..."

He had barely opened his mouth and uttered a single word when a sudden change occurred.

"Hey!"

The square-faced man, who was only about ten feet away from Xu Qingzhou, suddenly raised his hand and slashed at Xu Qingzhou with a palm.

This person is also a Nascent Soul Realm expert, and is no weaker than Xu Qingzhou.

The key issue was that the distance was too close, and Xu Qingzhou never expected that someone would make a move at this time and in such a situation, so Xu Qingzhou had no time to react.

Fortunately, he had many strong people around him who reacted quickly enough.

"How brave!"

"How dare you, you brat!!"

"die!"

These people were all friends of Su Xinyu and Tianzhuo, and most of them were experts at the Heavenly Palace Realm.

They roared and attacked, and the square-faced man was blasted into dust the moment he took out his escape tools.

But the palm strike he delivered was too close and too unexpected, leaving Xu Qingzhou no time to dodge.

"puff!"

A dark gray palm print landed on Xu Qingzhou's chest.

To Xu Qingzhou's surprise, the palm strike was not very powerful; it didn't even activate the protective jade pendant. It merely tore his clothes before being blocked by his inner armor.

However, someone nearby exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh no! This palm strike targets the soul! And it's poisonous!!"

As expected, Xu Qingzhou suddenly felt dizzy, as if his soul had been struck hard by a sledgehammer.

The people around him quickly stepped forward, surrounded Xu Qingzhou, and took turns checking on him.

After a while, Xu Qingzhou woke up, still feeling a splitting headache.

"Nephew, how are you feeling?"

Xu Qingzhou frowned and replied, "Apart from a headache, I don't feel anything."

"this...."

They looked at each other.

"This palm strikes directly at the soul. Its power is not great, but the key is that it is poisonous. Once the soul is poisoned, even if a legendary immortal comes, it will be difficult to save it."

"But how come Chief Xu is completely unharmed? Could it be a slow-acting poison?"

"It's obvious that they came to assassinate us. They probably wouldn't use slow-acting poison. Perhaps Chief Xu's soul is somewhat special."

Xu Qingzhou didn't speak. He possessed the Flawless Holy Body, making him immune to all poisons, whether they targeted his physical body or his soul.

"what happened?"

Soon Su Xin and Yu Tianzhuo also arrived.

“There was an assassin who used methods that attacked the soul, but my nephew seems to be unharmed.”

Su Xin quickly stepped forward to check on him and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's alright, nothing serious."

Yu Tianzhuo picked up the square-faced man's storage magic item and found an iron token with a black 'kill' character on it.

His expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"This is a kill order!!"

"What! It was Hidden Assassins who did it!!"

Su Xin and Yu Tianzhuo's faces were gloomy and they were furious.

Xu Qingzhou asked curiously, "What is Hidden Assassination?"

A person beside him explained, "This is an assassin force in the eastern region of Cangzhou that has been established for over 100,000 years. The Hidden Assassins are all extremely skilled in assassination. As long as the customer pays a certain price, they will dare to accept the mission."

"Rumor has it that Hidden Assassin once assassinated a dynasty ruler. Later, the dynasty did everything in its power to suppress him. Although Hidden Assassin disappeared for a period of time, he still exists, which shows how terrifying he is."

Cangzhou has many forces with a history of hundreds of thousands of years, including holy lands, immortal dynasties, and ancient families. These forces have profound foundations and are full of powerful figures. The three great dynasties are insignificant in front of them.

Xu Qingzhou was stunned. They actually found an assassin force outside the three major dynasties to assassinate him. They were really giving him face.

It must be said that this assassin was both resourceful and daring.

Although the Xu family is now full of powerful figures, it is the time when they are most relaxed and it is easiest for them to sneak in and meet Xu Qingzhou.

Everything he planned went smoothly, and he ultimately succeeded.

Furthermore, considering that Xu Qingzhou might possess protective jade pendants and inner armor, they resorted to methods that attacked the soul.

The only variable was that he didn't know that even poisons targeting the soul were ineffective against Xu Qingzhou.

If Xu Qingzhou didn't possess the Flawless Holy Body, he would already be a cold corpse by now.

Thinking about this, Xu Qingzhou felt a little scared.

Su Xin and Yu Tianzhuo exchanged a glance and communicated telepathically.

"Who do you think it is?"

"It's highly likely that the Ninth Prince did it. He's currently at a crucial stage in the struggle for the throne and doesn't want to expend his own strength, so hiring an assassin is the most suitable option."

After all, Yu Shufei's marriage to Xu Qingzhou ruined the Ninth Prince's plans.

"The royal family!! One day we'll make them bow down and submit!!"

If it were the young Su Xin, he might have lost his temper and gone straight to the Ninth Prince without considering the consequences. Now, he is much more rational, and his anger has been stored up.

Now that the royal family is powerful, even the combined strength of the Lingyue Sect and the Wanbao Pavilion is no match for them, so they can only choose to endure.

If he ever gets the chance to confront the royal family, he will definitely unleash all the anger he has been holding back.

Yu Tianzhuo hadn't believed Su Xin's words before, but now he did.

Since they had become in-laws, he also learned that the two prodigies in the Huaixi County ruins belonged to the Xu family.

With such prodigies, once they grow up, the royal family will have no choice but to submit obediently, or they'll be wiped out.

However, until they grow up, they can only endure it, and they cannot even fight back when they are assassinated.

Because if you retaliate, the other side will have a handle on you and a suitable reason to attack you.

There were relatively few guests at the location where Xu Qingzhou and his group were, and the assassin's appearance and death took only a few breaths.

Therefore, the others around them didn't even know what was happening; they only saw a group of people gathered together.

They were even thinking to themselves, "Even if I want to congratulate you, I don't need to get so close."

Xu Qingzhou stood up and said, "Everyone, let's pretend this never happened, and the wedding will continue."

Seeing his calm and collected demeanor, the Heavenly Palace Realm experts around him couldn't help but admire him.

After all, he had just survived a life-threatening assassination attempt, yet he could still maintain such a calm demeanor; this is what truly makes someone capable of great things.

Those who possess a heart brimming with rage yet maintain a calm demeanor are worthy of being appointed generals.
