319: Chapter 319 Straight to the Heart of the Army

The next morning.

Chen Hu directly cast Near and Far and appeared inside the Prince of Yong's Mansion.

The scale of this prince's mansion was quite large, enough for Emperor Jingren's family to stay in.

Of course, if all his concubines were to move in, it would definitely not be enough.

Fortunately, Emperor Jingren only chose dozens of concubines he liked to take with him, leaving the rest to Chen Hu's disposal.

Chen Hu naturally wouldn't touch Emperor Jingren's concubines.

Therefore, those from good families were sent back home.

Those without families were given a sum of silver and dismissed from the palace.

Upon learning that Chen Hu had arrived.

Emperor Jingren immediately came to receive him in person.

The other party was about to perform a formal bow, but Chen Hu held him up: "You are my father-in-Law after all. In the future, there's no need for such formalities when you see me. Also, I've come this time to fulfill my promise and extend your Lifespan!"

As he spoke, Chen Hu directly injected 13 years of Lifespan into Jingren's body.

Previously, having received a wisp of his Law's nourishment, Emperor Jingren looked twenty years younger on the outside, but his Lifespan had only increased by less than ten years.

Now, Chen Hu had injected another 13 years of Lifespan into his body.

Emperor Jingren felt himself becoming much younger again.

"How do you feel?" Chen Hu asked with a smile.

"Good, it's truly wonderful!" Emperor Jingren said excitedly, "Your Majesty, thank you so much!"

"Between us, there's no need for this!"

Chen Hu waved his hand, "I still have things to do, so I'll be going now!"

Chen Hu indeed had many things to attend to.

He planned to take care of the Great Xia Kingdom today.

Only then could the number of his subordinates continue to grow.

Seeing Chen Hu disappear, Emperor Jingren slowly straightened his back.

At this moment, the former Crown Prince hurried over: "Father, has His Majesty arrived?"

Looking at his son, who appeared even older than himself, Emperor Jingren said, "His Majesty did come, but he has already left!"

Seeing Emperor Jingren looking much younger again, the former Crown Prince couldn't help but show a look of envy: "Father, you've become much younger again. It must be His Majesty's blessing, right?"

"Don't just stay in the mansion all day. Go and visit your sister more often!" Emperor Jingren said meaningfully.

Hearing this, the former Crown Prince suddenly realized that his father was hinting at something.

If he built a good relationship with his sister, who was on the throne, perhaps a few words of pillow talk from her could also restore his youth.

"Thank you for the reminder, Father. I understand!"

The former Crown Prince said gratefully.

Inside the imperial palace.

Chen Hu gathered the Empress and five Noble Consorts.

Then, he injected a mass of Nascent Soul Dharmic Power into their bodies and gave each of them three third-tier Forbidden Treasures.

He only left after instructing them on how to use them.

Every third-tier Forbidden Treasure he gave out could instantly kill a Hunyuan Martial Saint.

Shua!

With one step, Chen Hu arrived at the royal city of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Indeed, after breaking through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm, Chen Hu discovered that the world's suppression of him had become extremely minimal.

Originally, when he cast Near and Far, he could only cover a thousand miles in one step.

But now, he could cover ten thousand miles in one step.

He surmised that if he reached the Spirit Severing Realm, he would be able to cover several thousand miles in one step even without using Divine Abilities.

To put it plainly.

This world had been modified by some powerful being, and its Laws were incomplete.

To put it bluntly, it was just a fragmented Small World.

He just didn't know how powerful that being had been.

To be able to modify Laws at will, they must have been at least at the Mahayana Realm, or perhaps even an Immortal.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense.

Chen Hu discovered that Emperor Xia Wuji was holding a grand court assembly.

Shua.

A figure flashed.

Chen Hu appeared out of thin air above the main hall, standing right next to Emperor Xia Wuji's dragon throne.

"An assassin! Quickly, seize the assassin!"

"Someone, come quickly! Protect His Majesty!"

For a moment, the hall was thrown into chaos and panic.

Emperor Xia Wuji, however, was quite calm, instead sizing up Chen Hu with curiosity.

The reason he was so calm was that he himself was a Liangang Realm expert, and the eunuch beside him was also at the Late Stage of the Liangang Realm.

He didn't believe anyone could harm him.

"Thief, die!"

Two young generals, eager to prove themselves, rushed toward Chen Hu at top speed.

Both were quite strong.

One was at the Late-stage Refining Viscera, and the other was at the Early Stage of Blood Refining.

But before Chen Hu, they were not worth mentioning.

Chen Hu merely glanced at the two of them.

Their consciousness instantly plunged into darkness.

Bang! Bang!

Their bodies fell onto the steps and then rolled down.

An official knelt down, checked their breathing, and said in horror, "They've stopped breathing!"

"What?"

The other officials were all shocked. Although the strength of these two generals wasn't top-tier, one was at the Late-stage Refining Viscera and the other at the Early Stage of Blood Refining.

The assassin had only glanced at them, and they were dead.

What kind of technique was this?

At this moment, Emperor Xia Wuji could no longer remain calm, staring intently at Chen Hu: "Who are you, Your Excellency?"

"Emperor Xia, you sent a Liangang Martial Artist to assassinate me, yet you don't know who I am?" Chen Hu looked at Emperor Xia Wuji with a half-smile.

"You are Chen Hu!"

Emperor Xia Wuji immediately realized, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face: "Someone, seize him for me!"

Immediately, the old eunuch standing behind Emperor Xia Wuji moved.

With a wave of his hand, dozens of golden needles shot toward Chen Hu.

But the void in front of Chen Hu seemed to turn into a mire. As soon as the golden needles approached, they sank into it, unable to move.

Shring!

The old eunuch suddenly drew a soft sword. With a flick of his wrist, a sky full of sword shadows attacked Chen Hu.

At the same time, more than twenty members of the imperial family in the Liangang Realm were rushing here at top speed.

Similarly, the old eunuch's second round of attacks sank into the "mire" once again.

After two failed attacks, the old eunuch's heart became exceptionally heavy. He said to Emperor Xia, "Your Majesty, please take a step back!"

"Humph, I am the Emperor. Facing a thief, how can I retreat!" Emperor Xia Wuji said dominantly, because he knew that twenty-five Liangang Realm experts of the imperial family would arrive within three breaths.

He had no reason to retreat at all.

Even if Chen Hu was a Hunyuan Martial Saint, he couldn't possibly be a match for over twenty Gang-Refining Experts.

Since no Hunyuan Martial Saint had appeared for over five hundred years, everyone no longer had a concept of how strong one could be.

In Emperor Xia Wuji's mind, no matter how strong a Hunyuan Martial Saint was, they were still human.

Humans can be defeated.

He also firmly believed that the twenty-five Liangang Realm experts trained by his imperial family would be more than enough to take down Chen Hu, this Hunyuan Martial Saint.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

At this moment, a Liangang Realm Duke below shouted loudly, then his figure blurred and appeared behind Chen Hu, swinging a golden fist toward Chen Hu's back!

Following closely, four more generals in the Liangang Realm attacked one after another.

But their attacks fell in front of Chen Hu and were all trapped in the mire, unable to advance even half an inch.

"This?"

The several Liangang Realm experts surrounding Chen Hu were somewhat dumbfounded.

Could a Hunyuan Martial Saint really be powerful to this extent?

Even though they were attacking at will, they could hardly break through his defense.

Just then.

Twenty-five powerful auras burst into the hall.

Then, their gazes all locked onto Chen Hu.

Emperor Xia Wuji spoke: "Seize this thief, and I shall reward you handsomely!"
