97: Chapter 97 The Sword God's Loyalty, Plundering Yang Tian's Opportunity!

Soon, led by General Zhao, Zhou Yuxuan arrived at the cell where Zhao Chungang was being held.

Inside the cell at this moment, a one-armed old man with tattered clothes and scars all over his body was sitting on the ground.

"Kid, are you here to see me make a fool of myself?"

Seemingly sensing Zhou Yuxuan's presence, Zhao Chungang listlessly raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yuxuan.

"Senior Zhao, my apologies. It's just that I have had too many things on my hands, so only now do I have the time to come and visit you."

Zhou Yuxuan said with a faint smile. Seeing that Zhao Chungang had no reaction, Zhou Yuxuan put away his smile and said, "The Prince of Northern Liang is dead, and Northern Liang has already been reclaimed by His Majesty. Must you continue to risk your life for him?"

"Why not consider serving me? If you are willing to work for me, perhaps I can lead you to witness the scenery of the Saint Realm."

Zhou Yuxuan did not beat around the bush and directly laid out his terms.

"A Prince? You have been titled a Prince?" Zhao Chungang asked, looking at Zhou Yuxuan with some surprise.

"Yes, after killing the Prince of Northern Liang, I was titled the Prince of Northern Suppression." Zhou Yuxuan nodded.

However, after hearing this tempting offer from Zhou Yuxuan, Zhao Chungang simply shook his head.

"Even if you are a Prince, you are not qualified to show me the Saint Realm. Even if you were to bring out your Zhou Family's Saint Cultivation Technique, it would be useless!"

"After all, the paths we walk are different." As Zhao Chungang said this, he lowered his eyes, looking somewhat drowsy.

Seeing Zhao Chungang's stubborn attitude, General Zhao, who was standing to the side, was very angry. To witness the scenery of the Saint Realm was something that countless God King Realm experts dreamed of.

Many God King Realm experts with insufficient Comprehension Ability would work for powerful families just to obtain a Saint Cultivation Technique and comprehend the Saint Intent within it. Yet, even if they risked their lives for hundreds or thousands of years, they might not necessarily receive the appreciation of those families to be allowed a glimpse of that powerful Saint Realm Cultivation Technique.

"Sword God Zhao, being appreciated by Young Lord Zhou is your honor. Do not be ungrateful!"

General Zhao's words only caused Zhao Chungang to slightly lift his eyes to glance at him before ignoring him entirely. This was clearly a look of disdain.

Immediately, General Zhao, who was already angry, became even more furious. He repeatedly said to Zhou Yuxuan, "Young Lord Zhou, please wait to the side. Let me try some new tricks on him. I don't believe his mouth is that tough."

As he said this, General Zhao rolled up his sleeves and was about to call people over to join in.

At this moment, Zhou Yuxuan raised his hand and said, "Wait."

Upon hearing this, General Zhao immediately retreated behind Zhou Yuxuan and stood respectfully.

"Senior Zhao, are you sure you won't agree to serve me?"

"I possess a Saint-tier Sword Cultivation Technique. If you agree to pledge your loyalty to me, perhaps you will still have a chance to step into the Saint Realm."

"This is your last chance. If you are unwilling, then I will depart, and you will lose this Opportunity to Breakthrough to the Saint Realm!"

"Come to think of it, you only had some friendship with the Prince of Northern Liang; it is not worth throwing your life away for him."

As he spoke, Zhou Yuxuan noticed that Zhao Chungang had opened his eyes and was sitting to the side, thinking with a spirited look in his eyes.

In fact, in the original plot, Zhao Chungang only broke through to the Saint Realm in the middle-to-Late Stages, and that was his limit; he could not make any further Breakthroughs in the future.

Therefore, if Zhao Chungang did not agree, he would not be disappointed. The reason he came to find this Sword God now was simply because he hoped to have more cards to play when he entered the Immortal Burying Mountain Range again in the near future.

"Kid, even if you have a Saint-tier Sword Cultivation Technique now, I cannot pledge my loyalty to you. After all, my Foundation is damaged, and I have no hope of stepping into the Saint Realm."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Chungang sighed and said.

"No matter, I have a way to treat your injuries, Senior Zhao!"

As he spoke, Zhou Yuxuan took out the Saint-tier reward he had just obtained. While taking it out, he secretly activated the Emperor Sutra of Calamity, and a trace of undetectable Calamity Poison was infused into the Medicinal Pill.

The moment the Saint Origin Pill was brought out, a rich medicinal fragrance instantly permeated the entire ninth level of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

Countless ancient Devil Heads and evil spirits imprisoned in the Demon Suppressing Tower awoke one after another, greedily inhaling the medicinal fragrance in the air.

"Such a rich medicinal fragrance! This must be a Saint-tier Medicinal Pill. Who is so generous that they could produce such a grade of pill?"

"Heh! What an idiot, actually taking out such a pill in the Demon Suppressing Tower. Are they not afraid that we will force our way out and snatch this pill?"

"Tsk tsk! A Saint-tier Medicinal Pill. If I could consume it, what could this measly Demon Suppressing Tower do to me?!"

At this time, Zhou Yuxuan and his group were unaware of the commotion in the Demon Suppressing Tower. Zhao Chungang was also stunned by the pill Zhou Yuxuan had casually produced.

Seeing that the other party had actually produced such a precious pill for his sake, and recalling how the Prince of Northern Liang had only offered a small favor when asking him to come out of seclusion to escort Xu Feng, Zhao Chungang felt at a loss for words when comparing the two.

Following that, he no longer hesitated and knelt on one knee. He said respectfully, "I, Zhao Chungang, am willing to pledge my loyalty to the Young Lord for this life and this world!"

As he said this, he took the Medicinal Pill from Zhou Yuxuan's hand and quickly consumed it.

The pill melted upon contact with his mouth, turning into streams of warm energy that flowed through his body, repairing the hidden injuries from battles many years ago in an instant.

His originally withered Dantian was now filled with True Qi, and even the wound where his arm had been severed began to itch as new flesh appeared. A complete arm grew out.

Immediately after, Zhao Chungang's listless aura surged violently, instantly rising to the Peak God King Realm.

The terrifying aura shocked countless experts guarding the Demon Suppressing Tower, waking them up one by one. At this moment, Zhao Chungang was just one step away; with a deeper understanding of the Dao of the Sword, he could suddenly enter the Saint Realm.

"Thank you, Young Lord, for bestowing this Divine Pill, which allowed my injuries to recover." Zhao Chungang said gratefully, without noticing the trace of Calamity Poison that Zhou Yuxuan had injected into it.

Of course, as long as Zhao Chungang did not harbor any disloyal intentions in the future, he would not activate this wisp of poison.

"Alright, Senior Zhao, please rise." Zhou Yuxuan had Zhao Chungang stand up.

Zhou Yuxuan then retrieved that Saint-tier Sword Cultivation Technique from his mind, and a ray of golden light containing the cultivation memories of the greater part of the Saint-tier technique merged into Zhao Chungang's mind.

Immediately after absorbing the cultivation memories of this technique, Zhao Chungang was suddenly extremely excited, and his aura was vaguely fluctuating, as if it were rising.

"So that's how it is! So that's how it is! To think that stepping into the Saint Realm with the Dao of the Sword would have such miraculous effects!"

Zhao Chungang fell into an Epiphany of Breakthrough, and a Saint's might was already vaguely emanating from his body.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuxuan took out the supreme treasure, the Primordial True Word Brush, and after deploying a Formation in the void to isolate his aura, he asked, "Senior Zhao, I wonder how long you will need to Breakthrough to the Saint Realm?"

Zhao Chungang heard this and said confidently, "Young Lord, please rest assured. I was once close to breaking through to the Saint Realm, but I had taken the wrong path before. Now that I have obtained the correct method, I only need one week to Breakthrough to the Saint Realm again."

"Good, I will await your good news!" As he said this, Zhou Yuxuan used the Primordial True Word Brush to deploy several more Formations in the void. Only after he could no longer sense Zhao Chungang's Breakthrough aura did he feel relieved.

"Let's go, General Zhao. Accompany me; I need to go to the sixth floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower!" Zhou Yuxuan said calmly.

The reason he wanted to go to the sixth floor was because the Opportunity of the Luck protagonist, Yang Tian, was there. Now that Yang Tian was being punished, he could take the Opportunity to plunder his Opportunity.

General Zhao did not dare to refuse upon hearing this and immediately led the way in front.
