Legend of the Asura Emperor

A middle-aged man with his shirt off was drinking and having fun with seven or eight beautiful young women, with women on his left and right.

Standing opposite the middle-aged man was a young man dressed in a golden robe.

The young man held a gold folding fan, exuding an air of wealth and status.

The middle-aged man's rough hands roamed over the beautiful girl's body. When he was still not satisfied, he gestured for the beauties around him to step back.

After all the beauties had left, the middle-aged man looked up at the richly dressed young man and said in a deep voice, "I have never had any dealings with the Prince of Hexi's mansion. I wonder what brings the Prince of Hexi's son here so late at night?"

The young man cupped his hands and smiled, "Sect Leader He, you are mistaken. My Hexi Prince's Mansion has always had business dealings with your family. How can you say that we have no connection at all?"

As for why I came tonight, with Sect Master He Xiao's wisdom, I'm sure he already guessed it.

It turns out that the middle-aged man known as Sect Master He Xiao is the sect master of the number one sect in Tianchuan County, the Earth Dragon Sect, and is a powerful expert at the ninth level of the Spirit Platform Realm!

He Xiao's gaze narrowed slightly. He stroked the stubble on his chin and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that the Hexi Prince has come for the matter of the Tianchuan County Prince's Mansion?"

The young man smiled faintly and said, "That's exactly right."

Upon hearing the young man's affirmation, He Xiao said in a deep voice, "If the young master is trying to persuade our Earth Dragon Sect to surrender, then I think the young master need not bother. Today, the eldest disciple of our Earth Dragon Sect has already made a marriage agreement with the Prince of Tianchuan's Mansion."

Furthermore, I am originally from Tianchuan County, so there is absolutely no way I would cooperate with you.

In response to He Xiao's words, the young man simply smiled faintly and said, "Hehe, Sect Leader He Xiao, please don't be in such a hurry to refuse. I know that if both parties want to reach a cooperation agreement, there must be a suitable price."

If I set a price, Master He will definitely not be able to refuse!

"Master He, why don't you hear the price before deciding whether to refuse me?"

Seeing the young man's words, He Xiao couldn't refuse, after all, the other party was of noble status, and Hexi County was indeed powerful at the moment.

If they don't even give him this much face, what if Hexi County really annexes Tianchuan County in the future? His life won't be easy then.

He Xiao nodded slowly and said, "Alright, if that's the case, please state your price, Your Highness."

As soon as He Xiao finished speaking, a confident smile appeared on the young man's lips. He then uttered a sentence that made He Xiao unable to remain calm any longer: "I wonder if Sect Master He has ever heard of the Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill?"

He Xiao's body trembled violently, as if he were a beggar who had suddenly won five million: "Five... Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill? Could you be talking about the Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill, a fifth-grade pill that can increase the success rate of cultivators at the ninth level of the Spirit Platform Realm when breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm by 40%?"

If the young man had prescribed other rare and precious elixirs, He Xiao wouldn't have lost his composure like this!

However, this Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill was the price he could least refuse!

Because he has been stuck at his current level for many years, he has never dared to take that step because he was afraid of failure.

This is because ordinary cultivators, when breaking through from the ninth level of the Spirit Platform Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm, need to comprehend the power of the five elements contained in the world.

If one cannot comprehend it, the breakthrough will fail.

However, if one fails to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, they will suffer a backlash of vital energy.

If you're lucky, you'll at most be seriously injured, but you can still retain your cultivation at the ninth level of the Spirit Platform Realm.

However, the downside is that one's cultivation level may drop to the eighth level of the Spirit Platform Realm, or even the seventh level, and the success rate of breaking through again next time will be even lower!

That is why He Xiao, who had no feeling for the power of the five elements, dared not take the final step to become a true top expert in the Hanwu Kingdom!

But things are different now. If he obtains the Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill, his success rate will increase by 40%, and he will be able to break through with almost certainty!

Therefore, for him, nothing in the world was more attractive than the Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill.

But then he thought about it again and realized that things were not so simple. So he asked the young man in a deep voice, "That's not right. If your Hexi County Prince's Mansion really has the Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill, shouldn't it be left for your Hexi County Prince to use? Once he breaks through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he doesn't seem to need to fear our Earth Dragon Gate, right?"

At that time, let alone Tianchuan County, even annexing more counties would be a piece of cake.

Why would they be willing to trade a Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill to me?

After all, He Xiao was a seasoned figure in the underworld, and he immediately got to the most perplexing part of the matter.

The young man chuckled in a deep voice, “What Sect Master He said is indeed correct. My father can indeed take the Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, but due to special reasons, my father cannot do so. As for why, Sect Master He will find out later.”

Now, all Sect Leader He needs to know is that as long as he cooperates with us, he will naturally receive his share of benefits. Even a treasure as precious as the Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill can be given to him.

"Oh? Are you serious about this?"

Although the young man repeatedly emphasized it, He Xiao still couldn't quite believe it. He vaguely felt that there must be something fishy going on.

It's not clear yet.

"Of course it's true! So, how about it? Are you considering cooperating with us now?"

The young man's gaze sharpened slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.

He Xiao stroked his stubble again, his mind filled with doubts: "Judging from the way the Hexi Prince looks, he doesn't seem to be joking. But how precious is a Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill? It's really unbelievable that he would take out such a treasure to deal with a declining Tianchuan Prefecture."

The strangest thing is that the Prince of Hexi is also a ninth-level Spirit Platform Realm expert. Why didn't he take the Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill himself, but instead tried to bribe me?

Could there be some hidden secret here?

Despite the enormous temptation before him, He Xiao remained hesitant.

Although obtaining the Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill and entering the Nascent Soul Realm was extremely tempting for him, he did not want to get involved in some conspiracies and schemes and end up unable to extricate himself.

Reason and impulse began to struggle within him at this moment.

"Sect Master! Something terrible has happened!"

Just as He Xiao was struggling with his inner turmoil, a loud shout, tinged with sobs, suddenly came from outside the room.

The next second, a man dressed in gray cloth stumbled into the room.

Before He Xiao could ask any questions, the gray-robed man immediately knelt down and burst into tears, crying, "Sect Master, Senior Brother has been killed in Tianchuan Prefecture!"

"What! Say it again?"

At this moment, He Xiao suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning and fell into a daze.

"Our eldest...eldest brother was killed by the people of the Tianchuan Prince's Mansion! It's said that it was done by Jun Han, the prince who has been mentally challenged for sixteen years!"

The man in gray burst into tears, and when he mentioned Jun Han's name, he was filled with hatred and gritted his teeth!

"Wu Yan... Wu Yan was killed? Damn it! That damned Tianchuan Prince's Mansion! How dare they kill my beloved disciple! I will make them pay with their blood!"

He Xiao roared, his killing intent erupting from his entire body!

The pressure of the ninth level of the Spirit Platform Realm cultivation spread out, and the floor of the entire room was instantly shattered!

Upon hearing this sudden news, the young man's lips curled up, and he thought to himself, "It seems that even without using that Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill, the Tianchuan County Prince's Mansion will be completely isolated and helpless!"

That's fine. Although Father King still has some concerns and cannot take the Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill for the time being, keeping it will still be useful in the future.

Surprisingly, Zhao Wuyan was a genius at the first level of the Spirit Platform Realm, so how could he have been killed by that foolish heir of the Tianchuan County Prince's Mansion? What exactly happened?

This is getting more and more interesting...
