683: Strength surges, Zhou Wuji is released from prison, system tasks

The woman's warning words had no effect whatsoever.

The dark green barrier was like a solid, heavy wall, making it impossible for the Seventh Princess, this woman who couldn't even truss a chicken, to break through!

Just as the two were in a stalemate like this.

A ethereal voice, crossing space, drifted over.

"amitabha... This poor monk heard the sounds from afar. It seems the Seventh Princess and Benefactor Snake had some conflict?"

The ancient words carried a hint of kindness.

And upon hearing this voice, both the Seventh Princess and Snake Old's attention were drawn and they turned their heads.

In their line of sight, they could see ahead, an old Monk holding a Zen staff, his hands cupped around a golden alms bowl, walking step by step with a slight smile on his face.

"Venerable Wuqian?!" Seeing the person who appeared, the Seventh Princess exclaimed, clearly recognizing him.

And Snake Old, seeing the newcomer, slightly frowned, feeling a sense of displeasure in his heart.

"Venerable Wuqian, quickly save me! This fellow has put me under house arrest!" Seeing the Monk appear, the Seventh Princess seemed to have found a savior and quickly shouted.

The old Monk's gaze also followed, looking towards the Seventh Princess and Snake Old behind her.

"Benefactor Snake, this old Monk remembers, the Emperor sent you to protect the Seventh Princess, right? How is it now... that it has become house arrest?"

"Bald donkey, don't meddle in this Lord's business." A sharp glint appeared in Snake Old's eyes, and his fangs were faintly visible.

This serious demeanor was something he had not even shown when facing General Iron Rhino under Yuwen Mingxuan!

"amitabha, Benefactor Snake's words are perhaps presumptuous. The Seventh Princess is of noble birth. Imprisoning her like this is already insubordination. As one of the Buddhist Monks in the court, how can this old Monk remain indifferent?"

Saying this, the Monk struck the ground with his Zen staff.

"Boom!"

A visible wave of air, sweeping up the dry branches and fallen leaves on the ground, slammed towards the conspicuous green barrier ahead!

It was only for a moment.

This seemingly solid barrier, at the moment it collided with the wave of air unleashed by the old Monk's strike, directly shattered, and the two canceled each other out!

"Venerable Wuqian!" Seeing the barrier gone, the Seventh Princess quickly ran to the old Monk's side.

"The Seventh Princess has suffered." The Monk chanted a Buddhist name, lowering his posture slightly.

Hearing this, the Seventh Princess felt the Monk was right.

This Snake Lord was simply insubordinate, using the excuse of being good for her to imprison her and restrict her movements. It was simply intolerable!

"Snake Lord, you can leave. This Princess will ask Father Emperor to send others to protect me. You are not needed here!" The Seventh Princess's expression was cold, and her tone was firm.

Listening to the Seventh Princess's words, Snake Old's eyes flickered slightly.

He glanced at the old Monk standing beside the Seventh Princess and slightly bowed to the Seventh Princess: "Seventh Princess, this one takes his leave."

In fact, when Yuwen Mingxuan exposed the matter between the Seventh Princess and Zhou Wuji and he saw it through the recording stone, Snake Old was already very disappointed in the Seventh Princess.

Now that the Seventh Princess had said this, he had nothing to be nostalgic about.

Actually.

In the original work, Snake Old's departure was not decided at this point.

In the original plot, Snake Old was also displeased with Zhou Wuji.

It was only later that he was shocked by a series of Zhou Wuji's actions, and only then did he gradually accept this protagonist, willingly serving him and the Seventh Princess.

But now.

Zhou Wuji was either in prison or in prison! Not to mention any operations that would amaze Snake Old. Reciting other people's poems at the poetry gathering and claiming them as his own, being bold enough to accept a holy weapon shard that clearly far exceeded his value, and various other eye-watering operations, left Snake Old with no good impression whatsoever, and made him feel that the Seventh Princess was even more unreasonable.

His departure now was naturally reasonable.

Watching Snake Old leave without hesitation, the Seventh Princess was again filled with indignation: "I will definitely tell Father Emperor about this!"

"Seventh Princess, may this old Monk ask why Benefactor Snake had such a conflict with you?" Venerable Wuqian narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

"It's all because this fellow didn't listen to me! I told him to save someone, but not only did he not help me, he also restricted my freedom!" The Seventh Princess lost the dignified demeanor she had in front of outsiders, her tone carrying some indignation.

She then turned to the Monk beside her: "Venerable Wuqian, Snake Old won't help me, you help me save someone!"

"Oh? You want this old Monk to help the Princess save someone?" The old Monk's eyes slightly shifted upon hearing this request: "May I ask who the Seventh Princess wants to save? And who will obstruct us when we go to save them?"

"It's that scoundrel Yuwen Mingxuan!" Saying this, the Seventh Princess embellished the story of Zhou Wuji being imprisoned and recounted it.

Regarding this content, the old Monk had no emotional fluctuations whatsoever.

He didn't care about the relationship between the Seventh Princess and that A Man.

He just wanted to know if facing such an opponent to save someone was worth the effort.

"So, it seems the main reason why Benefactor Snake was hesitant was that Yuwen Young Master and his three Soldier Envoys." The Monk said with a smile.

"Yes, that fellow is just that afraid of trouble!"

"Since that's the case, the Seventh Princess can take this old Monk for a trip. The Young Master Zhou has been described by the Seventh Princess in such a way, this old Monk even wants to meet him." Venerable Wuqian said kindly.

...

The full moon hung high.

Ning family.

Ning Buxiu slightly opened his eyes.

He glanced at the time on the System panel.

It was already late at night.

Cultivating diligently one book after another, relying on the System's extremely strong Martial Arts comprehension, Ning Buxiu had already cultivated all of the dozen or so Martial Arts books sent by the court, touching upon their basic principles!

Taking a deep breath, he looked at the dense list of Martial Arts names on his panel, Ning Buxiu returned to his courtyard and looked at the large pile of money placed there.

"System, give me money!"

With so many Martial Arts books, if all of them were fully upgraded and integrated, and then further improved to Perfection.

The power contained within them would definitely not be inferior to Ning Buxiu's overall strength cultivated up to now!

Under the dark night.

Around Ning Buxiu, as Martial Arts were upgraded, integrated, and then further improved, surges of powerful energy constantly fluctuated.

It wasn't until the sky slightly brightened that Ning Buxiu opened his eyes and looked at his completely transformed personal panel.

Host: Ning Buxiu

Martial Arts: Grandmaster Body Cultivation Technique . Unnamed》, 《First-rate Fist and Palm Technique . Unnamed》, Fierce Sun Thirty-Two Tiger Severing Blade, Light Spirit Azure Hawk Leg...

Combat Power: 1600

The biggest gain from the stacking and integration of a dozen or so Martial Arts was his Grandmaster-level Body Cultivation Technique!

This Grandmaster-level body, into which 《Gold Blood Bull King Strength》 and 《Golden Bell Iron Cloth Buddha Body》, as well as several Body Cultivation Martial Arts, were integrated, ultimately evolved into this!

He touched his arm.

Beneath the skin that blades and swords couldn't pierce, it seemed as if some kind of true monster was lurking!

The court's control over first-rate Martial Arts was extremely strict, and Grandmaster-level Martial Arts, aside from the Royal Family's treasury, were nowhere to be found among the common people!

From this, it can be seen that this thing is, in a sense, on par with demons!

"This Grandmaster-level Martial Arts technique is already equivalent to the ultimate Body Cultivation Technique in Martial Arts. Let's call it Supreme Martial Body."

As he spoke, the characters on the panel shifted.

Supreme Martial Body (390 years of cultivation)

"Grandmaster Martial Arts don't have the concept of Perfection, but are marked by years of cultivation?" Ning Buxiu understood when he saw this scene.

This point, compared to his own setting in the original work, clearly had a higher limit!

"Ding ~ Detected that Snake Old has left Five Directions City. The protagonist Zhou Wuji has lost a hidden helper. Reward the Host with software * 1."

"Ding ~ Detected that the protagonist Zhou Wuji has already been rescued from prison. A mission is now issued. Please return Zhou Wuji to prison within three days."
