275: Chapter 275 Slaying Marquis Weiwu

"Excellent tea!"

After taking a sip of the spiritual tea,

Xie Liuli couldn't help but praise. Although she was the State Preceptor and held a noble status, and the imperial family provided her with a certain amount of spiritual tea every year,

the tea Chen Hu brewed this time was no ordinary spiritual tea. It was a special spiritual tea that could nourish and cleanse the Divine Soul.

"Since the State Preceptor likes it, I will give you some!"

As he spoke, Chen Hu took out a catty of spiritual tea and a pot of spiritual water.

"Spiritual tea paired with spiritual water yields even better results!"

"Then I won't be polite!"

With a wave of her hand, the State Preceptor stored the tea leaves and spiritual water into her storage item.

"State Preceptor, do you know how vast our world is?" Chen Hu asked.

Despite his profound cultivation, he did not necessarily know as much as others.

For example, he was no match for the State Preceptor in front of him in this regard.

"Our world is called the Sin Domain!" the State Preceptor said softly, her tone laced with complexity.

"Oh? Could you tell me more about it in detail?"

Chen Hu asked curiously.

The State Preceptor pondered slightly, then began to explain, "I have flipped through many ancient books and found some clues in them. It is said that a long, long time ago, our world was still connected to the outside world.

Later, a certain mighty figure wanted to exile a group of criminals, so he used heaven-defying methods to Seal this world and made some special modifications to it.

As a result, it became impossible to practice immortal cultivation in this world!"

Hearing this, Chen Hu was startled. "Do you mean the outside world is the world of immortal cultivation?"

The State Preceptor shook her head. "I can't be sure either. After all, the records on immortal cultivation in the ancient books are quite vague, and I have absolutely no idea what kind of means cultivators possess!"

"Is there any way to leave this world?" Chen Hu asked again.

The State Preceptor said, "In our world, there is said to be a Far East Island. As long as we find that island, it might be possible to leave this locked world. Over the years, I have been investigating the Far East Island, and the Great Yong imperial family has also sent many people to help with the investigation.

But none of us have truly found the Far East Island!"

"Then other than me, does the State Preceptor know of any other Hunyuan Martial Saints?" Chen Hu continued to ask.

The State Preceptor replied, "Five hundred years ago, Hunyuan Martial Saints were born, but not long after their birth, they vanished. In the past five hundred years, whether in the Great Yong Kingdom or other nations, no other Hunyuan Martial Saint has been born.

You are the only one!"

"What is the reason?" Chen Hu asked.

The State Preceptor said, "Fellow Daoist actually understands as well that the elemental Origin Qi in the world is limited. Once the predecessors absorb the elemental Origin Qi, the successors naturally cannot become Hunyuan Martial Saints. My Revered Master's talent, talent, and Aptitude far surpassed mine.

But because she couldn't find any elemental Origin Qi, she was trapped at the half-step Hunyuan Martial Saint stage until her Lifespan was exhausted!"

Chen Hu nodded.

In fact, he didn't care too much whether the outside world was a world of immortal cultivation.

He was a cheater. Even if this world lacked sufficient elemental Origin Qi, he could still rapidly raise his cultivation through the System.

"Right, I heard that the Great Yong imperial family has quite a few in the Liangang Realm?" Chen Hu said.

The State Preceptor nodded. "Indeed, quite a few, twelve in total. However, most of them are old fogeys whose Lifespans are near their end, extending their lives through special secret methods. Furthermore, they cannot make a move recklessly; once they do, it will consume their Lifespan, and they will no longer be able to cling to life!"

"So that's how it is!" Chen Hu realized. "Then does the State Preceptor still need to return to the Royal Capital?"

The State Preceptor said, "I must. After all, I promised Emperor Jingren that I would protect his life, so I must stay in the Royal Capital permanently!"

"What? Is there someone who can threaten Emperor Jingren's life?" Chen Hu's heart stirred as he asked.

The State Preceptor sneered, "Emperor Jingren's Lifespan is near its end, and several of his sons have become extremely restless. To ascend the throne as soon as possible, they have plotted against Emperor Jingren more than a few times!"

"Since Emperor Jingren knows his sons are plotting against him, why doesn't he deal with these rebellious sons?" Chen Hu grew even more curious.

The State Preceptor smiled playfully. "Because Emperor Jingren doesn't know which son did it either. He can't possibly kill all of his sons!"

"Haha!"

Hearing this, Chen Hu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Next, the two chatted about everything under the sun before the State Preceptor transformed into a gentle breeze and departed.

Meanwhile, Chen Hu returned to Zhenlong City, waiting for Marquis Weiwu to arrive.

Time flew by.

And soon it was noon.

Chen Hu was having his meal.

Suddenly, he sensed a Middle Stage Gang Refining expert breaking into Zhenlong City.

"He's here!"

He put down his chopsticks.

And disappeared on the spot.

When he reappeared,

he was already on a street.

Opposite him stood a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, exuding a majestic aura.

"Marquis Weiwu, you shouldn't have come!" Chen Hu said, standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at Marquis Weiwu with a disdainful gaze.

Marquis Weiwu, Wei Zhenjiang, sized Chen Hu up carefully, and his heart instantly skipped a beat. He discovered that he actually couldn't see through the cultivation of this little rebel before him.

"Die!"

However, having held a high position for many years, he was not so easily frightened off.

Thus, he made a decisive move.

A golden dragon claw imprint appeared, heading straight for Chen Hu.

*Pfft!*

Chen Hu flicked his finger, and the claw imprint shattered.

Then, he took a step forward and arrived in front of Marquis Weiwu. Before the latter could react, Chen Hu slapped a hand onto his head.

*Pfft, pfft, pfft!*

As the palm struck down, it instantly shattered the multiple layers of defense on Marquis Weiwu's body, completely crushing the internal tissues of his head.

And the aura on Marquis Weiwu's body rapidly dissipated.

Grabbing Marquis Weiwu's corpse, Chen Hu disappeared from the spot.

Returning to the City Lord's Mansion.

Chen Hu threw Marquis Weiwu's corpse onto the ground and summoned the Heaven-Swallowing Vine, letting it absorb the body.

Very quickly,

Marquis Weiwu completely disappeared from the world, leaving behind only his clothes.

Suddenly,

Chen Hu's heart stirred.

He took a step and vanished.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the Weiwu Marquis Mansion.

Sweeping his Spiritual Sense, he locked onto Young Marquis Wei Wuji directly.

This guy really couldn't change his old habits.

He was looking with a playful, mocking gaze at a pitiful young girl who was slowly crawling towards him.

*Pfft, pfft, pfft!*

In the next moment, the bodies of the hidden guards protecting Young Marquis Wei Wuji exploded one by one, turning into clouds of blood mist.

"Not good!"

Young Marquis Wei Wuji's face changed drastically, and he was about to cry for help.

But immediately, he discovered to his horror that he couldn't make any sound at all.

Thus, he immediately prepared to flee the room.

But he found that his body was also immobilized.

Terror.

An intense dread eroded his heart.

In the next instant,

a figure flashed.

Chen Hu appeared out of thin air inside the room.

He activated the Eye of Insight.

The information of the young girl who was still kneeling on the ground appeared in Chen Hu's mind.

The beautiful young girl also had some cultivation, but it wasn't high—only at the Late-stage Tendon Refining.

To ordinary people, this level of cultivation made her a high-and-mighty Martial Artist.

But to the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, it was not even worth mentioning.

"What is going on with you?"

Chen Hu asked the young girl.

"To answer Senior, my entire family is controlled by that beast Young Marquis Wei Wuji. For the sake of my family's lives, this little girl could only..."

At this point, tears of grievance fell from the young girl's face.

"Where is your family?"

Chen Hu asked again.

"I don't know!" the girl said aggrievedly.

Chen Hu's gaze turned to Young Marquis Wei Wuji. Exerting a Soul deterrence, he asked, "Where is her family?"

"Hahaha! Her entire family, young and old, has already been killed by my people!"

Young Marquis Wei Wuji laughed maniacally.

"I will kill you!"

The young girl's eyes turned bloodshot. She scrambled up from the ground and rushed towards Young Marquis Wei Wuji.
