The Princess Cannot Escape: The Cunning Prince Is Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 229 Ten Killing Monks

Yin Quan really wanted to give Wu Chengzhang a good scolding. Why was he so clueless? Although she also really wanted to know who Chu Yue's friend was, if it were her, she would definitely be too embarrassed to keep asking.

"Chu Yue had already promised him beforehand that she would never involve him, and Chu Yue cannot break her promise to her friend." Chu Yue was filled with guilt.

"In that case, this person must be someone Wu knows."

Chu Yue remained silent, gazing into the distance. Wu Chengzhang stared at her for a long time before bursting into laughter. He asked no further questions.

Some things don't need to be said too explicitly.

Some things are more meaningful when you understand them for yourself.

"Ah!" Qing'er exclaimed in surprise.

Wen Yun's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Zhao Qin was forced into a corner. Wen Yun's sword energy had already surrounded him, and he had nowhere to retreat.

Zhao Qin realized something: Wen Yun was truly intent on killing him. A chill ran through him, and Qing'er's scream startled him.

Wen Yun sneered, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

One of Wen Yuncheng's signature moves is "Destroying Heaven," which has claimed countless lives. The sword intent comes from all directions, and even the most skilled warriors cannot escape its grasp.

But there are always exceptions.

Only one person could escape from this move, and only that move could break through the Heaven-Destroying Technique. Although it would come at a great cost, it would save one's life.

Zhao Qin still wanted to die.

Surrounded by sword energy, he glanced at Qing'er. The tears of fear and worry in Qing'er's eyes made his heart ache. Qing'er wanted to rush over, but Chu Yue held her tightly.

I don't want to die yet.

Even though the chances of success are slim, I still want to give it my all.

"Has Wen Yun gone mad? He's trying to kill us!" Yin Quan said in fear. "Old man, why are you still drinking? Aren't you a chivalrous hero? How can you just stand by and watch Wen Yun kill someone?"

Yin Quan was so anxious she jumped up and down.

He regretted that he had no martial arts skills and could not help.

The world is a dangerous place; there are no permanent friends. Any friend could betray you, so you can't trust anyone.

These were the words his master had once told him.

"There are countless masters in the martial arts world. If you ever encounter a master whose skill surpasses your own by several times, remember, never try to fight them head-on."

"Then what should we do?"

"Of course, you must escape. Escape for your life. Remember, as long as you have a life, anything is possible, but if you die, there is no hope left. So no matter when or where, you must strive to survive."

"I understand, but what if we can't escape? And what if I can't defeat them?"

"If we can't escape, then let's fight for survival."

"Back when I was in a life-or-death situation, I had no choice but to fight my way out and create a move that resulted in nine deaths and one life."

"A narrow escape from death?"

"Nine deaths and one life, also known as seeking life from death, is an extension of the idea of ​​being put in a life-or-death situation. It should never be used unless it is a life-or-death situation, because this move only has one chance."

Zhao Qin remembered the expression on his master's face when he said, "Master, will you teach me this move?"

"This is a move your master cannot teach you."

"why?"

“Master can teach you the mental technique, but if you really want to master this move, you must understand it yourself. I do not hope that you will have the opportunity to learn this move.”

At that time, Zhao Qin did not understand why his master had said that. Now he understood. His strong will to live and the words, techniques, and moves he had memorized since childhood were being used for the first time.

"Nine deaths and one life." Even the composed Chu Yue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Wu Chengzhang squinted at Zhao Qin, while Chu Yue turned to Wu Chengzhang with a look of surprise and doubt. Seeing his expression, she understood.

"I didn't expect Miss Chu Yue to know about the near-death experience," Wu Chengzhang said calmly.

Chu Yue then realized she had spoken out of turn. "Chu Yue heard about it from a friend."

Zhao Qin was ultimately not his master. He was powerless to help Zhao Qin, who was on the verge of death, and ended up exhausting himself.

Is this really the end for him? Zhao Qin seemed to hear Qing'er running towards him. "Master, I'm sorry, I still haven't learned it."

Wen Yun stopped at the last moment and did not kill Zhao Qin.

In an instant, his killing intent vanished, as if nothing had happened, and he glanced indifferently at the unconscious Zhao Qin.

"Zhao Qin, Zhao Qin, wake up..." Qing'er cried, turning to Zhao Qin.

"Don't worry, he's not in any danger." Wen Yun said coldly.

Qing'er looked at Wen Yun with anger, confusion, and sadness in her eyes. "Zhang Qing, go and send someone to invite Doctor Qi to treat Young Master Zhao. Also, have someone carry Young Master Zhao into the inner hall. Qing'er, you can go with them."

Chu Yue appeared behind Qing'er without her noticing and gave a casual instruction.

Qing'er nodded and left with the servants.

"Does Young Master Wen intend to stay and wait for Young Master Zhao to wake up?" Chu Yue asked Wen Yun with a slight smile after Qing'er and the others left.

Dressed in a moon-white robe, Wen Yun exuded an extraordinary air. "Chu Yue is always the most considerate."

Chu Yue smiled and said, "I had someone prepare a room for Young Master Wen. Young Master Wen, you still went a little too far."

Wen Yun sneered, "The disciple of the Ten Killing Monk, I have already shown him great mercy by not taking his life." After saying that, Wen Yun turned and left.

Chu Yue stared blankly as he walked away, without saying a word.

The one who spoke, "Ten-Kill Monk," was Wei Jun, who had arrived at some unknown time. He stood beside Yin Quan. Yin Quan was startled by the sudden appearance of someone speaking beside her. She turned to look and saw that it was Wei Jun. She glared at him fiercely.

"Why did you come? You scared me to death." Wei Jun didn't reply, but just watched Wen Yun leave and then glanced at Wu Chengzhang.

Wu Chengzhang took a sip of wine and stepped forward. "Miss Chu, I am a rough man. Thank you for your hospitality these past two days. However, I have other matters to attend to, so I will not disturb you any further."

Chu Yue smiled and said, "Master Wu is a distinguished guest, but he is very busy. I will have someone bring you a reliquary."

"Thank you, young lady." This was exactly what Wu Chengzhang had been waiting for.

Chu Yue turned to Yin Quan and said, "It seems I can't teach you today."

"It's alright, it's alright, no rush. Master, if you're busy, you can go and take care of your own business first. I'm fine, I'll go home in a bit." After saying that, Yin Quan glanced at Wu Chengzhang again.

Chu Yue nodded. "Then I won't keep you any longer."

After Chu Yue left, Wu Chengzhang spoke up, "Does Your Highness have something to say to me?"

"You are indeed a smart person. It's so nice to chat with smart people. You know I have something to say without me even having to say a word." Yin Quan said with a smile. "However, this is not the place to talk. Old Jiu Tou, could you stay in the capital a little longer? I have some things I would like to ask you."

Yin Quan spoke to the old wine master in a rare serious manner, which surprised Wu Chengzhang.

"I wonder what it is?" Wu Chengzhang asked.

Yin Quan opened her mouth as if to speak, but in the end she shook her head. "Old man, don't be so polite. It sounds very awkward to keep calling me 'Princess, Princess.' Just call me Miss Yin as before."

Wu Chengzhang smiled and nodded, "Since it's really inconvenient to talk about this here, let's do this: how about we meet at Luoshui Inn in an hour?"

Yin Quan nodded, "Okay, okay, that's a good idea, let's go with it."

"Then I, Wu, will take my leave now."

"Farewell."

Wei Jun left with Yin Quan, first leaving Fengqi Tower and arriving at the second floor of Luoshui Inn. They booked a private room, ordered some food, and leaned on the railing, gazing downstairs.

"This is a great place. You can see the entire most bustling street in the capital at a glance. Watching the crowds move around is a special kind of enjoyment."

“Yes,” Wei Jun agreed with a smile.

“Wei Jun, have you heard of that Ten Kill Monk? He has a grudge against Young Master Yu Xiao. Even Wen Yun and Wu Chengzhang hate him so much.”

Yin Quan could guess that the monk known as the Ten Killers must be a heinous villain, but Zhao Qin, that young man, clearly didn't look like a villain.

She's actually quite kind-hearted, so how could she be connected to that monk who killed ten people?

Yin Quan's curiosity was completely piqued, but at that time, it was clear that she was no longer suitable to stay there. Everyone had their own things to do, and even if she wanted to ask, she probably wouldn't be able to tell her.

"Could it be that this is what the Princess Consort wants to ask about Wu Chengzhang?" Wei Jun was taken aback at first, then asked with a smile.

Yin Quan rolled her eyes at him. "Do you think I'm such a boring person that I would deliberately find a place like this to ask him gossip?" Wei Jun suppressed a laugh and didn't dare to nod. Yin Quan gritted her teeth in hatred.

"Try nodding if you dare." He sneered.

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare." Wei Jun was quite sensible. "I've only ever heard of the name 'Ten Killing Monk'."

"Oh, then tell me about it." Yin Quan became interested. She pulled Wei Jun to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and placed it in front of him.

Wei Jun almost burst out laughing. This sudden treatment caught him off guard. However, seeing Yin Quan's expression, he understood. It turned out that the princess had mistaken him for a storyteller.

"The Ten Kill Monk was a notorious villain in the martial arts world twelve years ago. At that time, Wen Yun had only recently entered the martial arts world, and it is said that he had already gained a great reputation."

Wei Jun actually took on the role of a storyteller, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense by taking a sip of tea, which made Yin Quan roll her eyes.

"And another thing. I can guess this without even thinking about it."

"Your Highness, please don't be anxious. I only heard these things from others," Wei Jun said slowly.

"Then hurry up and tell me," Yin Quan said with a cold expression.

"Yes." Wei Jun slowly told Yin Quan what he knew about the Ten Killing Monks.

"The Ten Killers Monk, although his name contains the word 'monk,' is not actually a monk. The origin of his name comes from fifteen years ago when he first entered the martial arts world. In order to make a name for himself, he challenged several eminent monks from Shaolin Temple."

"Then he won't be defeated by all these people, will he? He will challenge ten monks in a row."

"It wasn't that I challenged ten eminent monks in a row, but rather that I did it all at once."
