311: Chapter 311 Accelerating the Process

On the other side.

Chen Hu had already returned to the study in Zhenlong City.

The Heaven-Swallowing Vine was still diligently absorbing the Golden Core corpse.

After he opened the remaining cards, he began to ponder.

Although he had already killed that demon seed, preventing the Heavenly Demon Sect from using it as a coordinate to open a Void Realm passage again.

However, who knew if the Heavenly Demon Sect had other means?

If the Heavenly Demon Sect were to open a Void Realm passage again, I'm afraid it wouldn't just be those in the Foundation Establishment Realm and Golden Core Realm coming through.

Perhaps it would be those in the Nascent Soul Realm and Spirit Severing Realm.

However, with his methods, it wouldn't be difficult to protect his life in front of those in the Nascent Soul and Spirit Severing Realm.

But he would be unable to protect the living beings of this world.

Therefore, he must quickly become stronger.

And if he wanted to become stronger, he had to have a large number of underlings to bring him underling points.

Originally, he had wanted to play it steady and cautiously, gradually encroaching upon the Great Yong Kingdom step by step.

But with the threat of the Heavenly Demon Sect present.

He had to accelerate the progress.

The best way was to take a shortcut!

Thinking of this.

His figure directly disappeared from the study.

Very soon.

He appeared in the capital, inside Princess Anping's residence.

His Divine Sense swept over.

Princess Anping was not resting, but was Cultivating in the practice room.

He took a step out.

He appeared in the practice room.

After deliberately making a little noise.

Princess Anping opened her eyes and saw Chen Hu, and couldn't help but happily throw herself into his arms: "Chen-lang, you've come."

Chen Hu hugged her fragrant body tightly.

After dallying for a while, Chen Hu's expression turned serious: "Jing'er, I want to see your father, the Emperor!"

"At this time?"

Princess Anping frowned slightly: "Why don't you rest at the residence for the night, and I will take Chen-lang to the Imperial Palace tomorrow morning?"

Chen Hu shook his head: "I have a reason why I must see him!"

Seeing Chen Hu's persistence, Princess Anping no longer refused: "Alright then, I will have someone prepare!"

"No need for such trouble!"

Chen Hu held Princess Anping and took a step out.

Reappearing, they had already arrived inside a palace hall.

This palace was Emperor Jingren's sleeping quarters, however, although it was past midnight, he had not yet rested.

A very pleasant sandalwood scent drifted through the palace, which had the effect of refreshing the mind.

"Bold!"

Seeing a man and a woman suddenly appear in the palace, Emperor Jingren's personal eunuch immediately let out a sharp shout.

However, when he saw Princess Anping's face clearly, he couldn't help but frown slightly: "Your Highness, Princess Anping?"

At this moment, Emperor Jingren put down the book in his hand, his gaze sweeping over Chen Hu, and he slowly said: "So it is General Chen. Xiao Dezi, there is no need to make a fuss, quickly bring a chair for General Chen!"

"I am Chen Hu, greetings, Your Majesty!" Chen Hu said, clasping his hands in greeting as he saw Emperor Jingren being so polite.

"As the saying goes, one doesn't visit the Hall of Three Treasures without a reason. General Chen, paying a visit late at night, surely you aren't here to assassinate me, are you?" Emperor Jingren said with a chuckle.

"Of course not!"

Chen Hu smiled: "I came to see Your Majesty because I intend to have you abdicate the throne to me!"

"Presumptuous!"

The old eunuch standing next to Emperor Jingren couldn't help but be furious, his aura erupting as well. For a moment, the great hall was impacted by his Early Stage of Gang Refining aura, and the entire hall shook slightly.

As the old eunuch Xiao Dezi's aura erupted, the Gang-Refining Experts in the Imperial Palace all sensed it simultaneously, and then, without prior agreement, they all rushed towards Emperor Jingren's sleeping quarters.

Of course, one step faster.

Were the imperial guards outside the sleeping quarters.

A team of guards barged straight into the sleeping quarters.

Seeing Chen Hu, a stranger, the leading imperial guard directly drew his sword and shouted: "Take him down!"

Emperor Jingren had long known that Chen Hu's cultivation was heaven-defying, having already reached the Hunyuan Martial Saint Realm.

However, he was still somewhat skeptical.

Therefore, he did not order the imperial guards to stop their actions.

Moreover, Chen Hu asking him to abdicate also made him quite uncomfortable.

If Chen Hu were truly a super expert at the Hunyuan Martial Saint level, that would be one thing, but if the other party's strength was insufficient, this would be a perfect opportunity to eliminate him.

More than a dozen imperial guards simultaneously drew their long swords and attacked Chen Hu.

Princess Anping, who was on the side, saw this and did not have any worries, because she knew her man's strength was unfathomable.

The next moment.

More than a dozen long swords slashed towards Chen Hu simultaneously.

But a strange thing happened.

When those long swords approached his body, it was as if they had fallen into a quagmire, unable to advance, nor could they be pulled out.

"Azure Dragon Slash!"

Just then, the leading imperial guard made his move.

A dragon-shaped blade light slashed towards Chen Hu's head.

Chen Hu glanced at it indifferently.

The dragon-shaped blade light, which emitted a terrifying aura, shattered directly.

At the same time, that imperial guard, who was at the Late Stage of the Blood Refining Realm, also vomited blood and flew backwards, crashing onto the floor.

Just then.

More than a dozen figures shot in simultaneously.

Everyone's body emitted a terrifying aura.

These intruders were not young, the youngest looking to be over sixty years old.

Indeed, they were all Gang-Refining Experts of the royal family.

One at the Late Stage of Qi Refining, four at the Middle Stage of Gang Refining, and eight at the Early Stage of Gang Refining.

"Old Ancestors, quickly take down this traitor!" Xiao Dezi pointed at Chen Hu and shouted.

"Do it!"

The leading royal Gang-Refining Expert at the Late Stage of Qi Refining shouted.

The next moment.

Twelve experts of the Liangang Realm attacked simultaneously.

But the result made Emperor Jingren and Xiao Dezi's jaws drop.

Because these Gang-Refining Experts had just approached Chen Hu when they all flew backwards.

They didn't even notice how Chen Hu had made his move.

"Do you want to try?"

Chen Hu looked at that royal expert at the Late Stage of Qi Refining.

Upon hearing this, that royal expert at the Late Stage of Qi Refining looked a bit embarrassed. No matter how arrogant he was, he knew he couldn't be Chen Hu's opponent.

At this moment.

The aura on Chen Hu's body suddenly erupted.

With the eruption of this aura, everyone present, except for Princess Anping, felt as if a giant mountain were pressing down on them.

Three seconds later.

This aura disappeared, and everyone except Princess Anping was panting rapidly.

"Hunyuan Martial Saint!"

"Your Excellency is a Hunyuan Martial Saint?"

That royal expert at the Late Stage of Qi Refining, stared at Chen Hu and asked excitedly.

"That's right!"

Chen Hu nodded: "That's right, Hunyuan Martial Saint is just my weakest method!"

"What?"

Hearing this sentence from Chen Hu, everyone present was shocked once again.

Chen Hu ignored them and looked at Emperor Jingren: "Your Majesty, how is it? Are you willing to abdicate? You have at most three years of Lifespan left. If you are willing to abdicate, I can extend your life by twenty years, and even guarantee your glory and wealth!"

Emperor Jingren smiled bitterly: "Do I have a choice?"

"Correct, you made the right choice. After you abdicate, I will make Princess Anping the Empress!" Chen Hu said.

"Then many thanks, General. When does the General think it would be appropriate to abdicate?" Emperor Jingren asked.

"Tomorrow at the morning court session!"

Chen Hu said: "Of course, if you are unconvinced, you can try to resist. For Princess Anping's sake, even if your resistance fails, I will not hold it against you, and my previous promise will remain valid!"

"Haha, there is no need for that!"

Emperor Jingren laughed heartily and open-mindedly.

"You are my future father-in-law, so I'll give you a small benefit first!"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Hu infused a wisp of magic power into Emperor Jingren's body.

Under the nourishment of this wisp of magic power, Emperor Jingren's decayed and aged body suddenly radiated vitality.

In an instant, his gray hair turned black.

His hunched body also suddenly straightened, as if he had become twenty years younger directly.
