Chu Jiangli had his reasons for saying this.
His confidence stemmed from the antidote pills that Yu Tang had given him beforehand.
Everything that is happening now is exactly what Yu Tang and Chu Jiangli expected.
They had made thorough preparations to deal with this trap.
It can be said that Chu Jiangli is now immune to all poisons.
No one can do anything about him.
Next, it was time to test his chemistry and acting skills with Yu Tang.
Yu Tang drove the carriage inside, with his two disciples following beside him, occasionally trying to scare him.
I burst out laughing when I saw his timid and frightened appearance.
But as they turned into a secluded spot, Yu Tang waved his hand and used two silver needles to silence him.
With two more sharp clicks, he pressed their pressure points and pushed them into the carriage.
In an instant, their positions changed, and their faces filled with terror, they became those two disciples.
Yu Tang sat opposite them, rubbed his hands together with a smile, and then slapped them twice, leaving them both stunned.
She looked at him with teary eyes, shaking her head repeatedly, as if begging for mercy.
"From now on, learn to speak like a human being. Having martial arts skills is not for you to use to threaten and oppress others."
"And don't judge a book by its cover." Yu Tang said, making a throat-slitting gesture as he ripped off their clothes, "Otherwise, next time, you won't just lose your clothes, you'll lose your lives!"
After saying that, Yu Tang knocked them unconscious, changed their clothes, took out his makeup tools, removed the haggard makeup, and soon transformed himself back into a different person.
After getting off the bus, he no longer walked with a limp.
Instead, he straightened his back, put on his long sword, and followed Xiao Jin's instructions to walk deeper into the Sword Forging Manor.
Inside the reception room.
The old master sat in the main seat, while Chu Jiangli sat at a low table below.
"Palace Master Chu, you should know what I truly want from the reason I invited you here."
"Isn't what you're looking for the 'Wuji Record'?" Chu Jiangli sneered, stroking the wine cup in his hand. "Everyone in the martial arts world wants to obtain the 'Wuji Record' in order to become the number one martial artist in the world."
But even if I gave it to you, how many of you would dare to learn it?
Several of my former hall masters from before I left the Moon Palace died at the hands of this "Record of Limitless Limits" because they suffered qi deviation while practicing.
"What's there to be afraid of?" The old manor lord's eyes burned with fervor. "Even if there's a risk of going mad from cultivation, what's a little risk compared to the thought of becoming the best in the world?"
Chu Jiangli smiled and raised his hand, saying, "Then prepare paper and pen for me, and I can draw it for you so you can practice."
Whether you succeed in mastering it depends on your own destiny.
Chu Jiangli agreed so readily that the old manor lord was somewhat taken aback.
After hearing him remain silent for a long time, Chu Jiangli chuckled again: "Don't you trust me?"
He said slowly, "Actually, when I took that medicine just now, I started planning how to get you to spare my life."
"So now, I'm thinking of using the 'Wuji Record' in exchange for being able to leave the Sword Forging Manor today. Do you agree?"
The old manor lord was stunned for a moment before saying with a strange expression, "How do I know if what you drew is the real 'Record of Limitless'?"
"Moreover, Chu Jiangli, the reason I summoned you this time is not only because I want your 'Wuji Record,' but also because you have offended someone you shouldn't have."
"I, Chu, have offended many people. Which one are you referring to?"
"He is Prince Ning, the current emperor's own brother." The old manor lord was probably certain that Chu Jiangli was bluffing, and he felt that even if he had all sorts of abilities, there was absolutely no way he could escape from the heavily guarded Sword Forging Manor after taking the muscle-weakening powder. So he coldly smiled and said it all.
“That Prince Ning spent both money and effort, offering 100,000 taels of gold for your head and even getting the emperor to issue an edict to allocate 2,000 heavy soldiers to me so that I could kill you!”
This would not only rid the people of a scourge, but also remove a major worry from his mind!
After saying this, the old manor lord waited for Chu Jiangli to show a frightened expression, to make a fool of himself in front of him, and to kneel down and beg for mercy.
But after waiting for a while, all he got was Chu Jiangli's indifferent reply.
"Oh, I see."
The old manor owner was stunned: "Aren't you afraid?"
He revealed his plan: "If you beg me properly, offer me the true and complete 'Record of Limitless', and become my slave to obey my commands, I might consider using a corpse to create the illusion of your death."
Chu Jiangli opened his eyes and vaguely saw the old man's shadow through the red silk.
He shook his head and said, "Old man, you're ugly, but you have quite the imagination."
"How dare you make such a request of me?"
The owner of Lao Zhuang was completely dumbfounded.
After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly flew into a rage and shouted, "Chu Jiangli, you're about to die, and you still dare to be so disrespectful to me!"
"I see you don't need my sympathy anymore! Today I'll cut off your head and send it to Prince Ning's residence!"
As for your "Record of Limitless Infinity," after you die, I'll slaughter all the followers of the Moon Palace Cult. I refuse to believe I can't get my hands on it!
He had barely finished speaking when a shout suddenly came from outside.
"Fire! Help! Put out the fire!"
"Everyone, go put out the fire!"
Then, the door to the reception hall was pushed open, and a disciple with his head down hurriedly reported to the old master: "Master! The north, south, and west courtyards are all surrounded by fire!"
The old manor lord, caught off guard by this turn of events, disregarded his earlier declaration of wanting to kill Chu Jiangli and pointed his sword at his disciple, demanding, "Who did this?! Who dared to set fire to this place right under my nose?!"
The next moment, the disciple took a half step back, straightened up, and said to him with a smile, "Me..."
It was none other than Yu Tang, who had arrived late!
He stretched out his arm and wiped the makeup off his face with his sleeve, revealing his face with an extremely "kind" smile: "Old Master, it's been a long time."
"Yu Tang?!"
When the old manor lord saw his face clearly, he was first shocked, then relaxed and said with a smile, "I was just thinking of using your blood to practice my skills, and you delivered yourself right to my door. It's truly as if even the heavens are helping me today..."
Before he could finish speaking, blood splattered.
Before the old man could even see Yu Tang's movements, his right hand, which was holding the sword, fell to the ground.
The blood quickly formed a pool.
The old manor lord, belatedly realizing what was happening, began to scream in agony: "Ah—"
"Aren't you supposed to be a sickly person?! How can you have such strong martial arts skills?!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than another spray of blood appeared, and his left hand fell to the ground.
This time, it was Chu general Li who made the move.
After a moment of mental breakdown, he continued to scream, "Chu Jiangli, weren't you given the muscle-weakening powder?! Why haven't you become weaker?!"
Yu Tang laughed out loud, put his elbow on Chu Jiangli's shoulder, and said to the old manor lord, "With a divine doctor like me here, what use is your little muscle-relaxing powder?"
Chu Jiangli nodded beside him, a sweet and proud smile on her lips.
"Madam is mighty."
Old Master: "I'm #@#%&⚹!"
Chapter 17
The villain was resurrected for the sixth time (17)
Chu Jiangli was merely stalling for time, leaving the task of burning down the Sword Casting Manor to Yu Tang.
Yu Tang lived up to expectations, setting fires everywhere and causing chaos throughout the Sword Casting Manor.
"Someone come here—"
The old manor lord frantically cried for help from the outside.
However, the experts outside had already been wiped out by Yu Tang along the way. They finally made it to the reception hall, only to be killed by Chu Jiangli with a drawn sword and fall in front of the old manor lord.
He also vomited half a mouthful of blood and throbbed twice at the old man's feet.
"You can't escape the manor! Prince Ning has deployed several thousand heavy troops to seal off the manor! Not even a fly can get away!"
"And don't expect anyone to come in and save you!"
But no sooner had he finished speaking than Nan Yun stormed in with a murderous look on his face!
Covered in blood, he finally felt relieved when he saw that Chu Jiangli and Yu Tang were unharmed. He knelt down, tears welling in his eyes, and said fiercely, "Palace Master Chu, Divine Physician Yu, Li Yue Palace has taken control of the entire Sword Casting Manor!"
"At your command, we will slaughter the entire Sword Forging Manor! Leave not a single one alive!"
While waiting at the foot of the mountain, he saw Bai Xiao crawling towards him on his hands and feet.
Such severe injuries! Such deep wounds! Each one felt like it was cutting into his heart!
Nagumo may seem carefree and easygoing, but he's actually not a good person.
He was a homeless child and suffered far more abuse than kindness.
In his heart, there were only two people who were most important: Bai Xiao and Chu Jiangli!
Seeing Bai Xiao suffering so much, how could he possibly control his murderous intent?!
"How is this possible?!" The old manor lord was on the verge of collapse upon hearing this!
He staggered half a step, slumped into a chair, his severed arm hanging limply to the side, and muttered, "I deployed so many people, how could you possibly get in!"
"Impossible! My Sword Forging Manor cannot fall into ruin like this!"
"I must be dreaming! I must be dreaming!"
Upon hearing the old manor lord's words, Chu Jiangli sneered, "Old man, Heaven is watching what people do. When you colluded with Prince Ning to kill hundreds of members of the Yu family, you should have known that this day would come!"
"They deserved it!" Even as death approached, the old man showed no remorse, shouting, "They defied the court! They could have easily obtained wealth through hallucinogenic drugs, but they chose not to!"
"They act so high and mighty, and they can't be flexible. They deserve to have their whole family wiped out!"
"And you, Liyue Palace, injured Chen's soldiers today! You embarrassed Prince Ning and the Emperor! You are openly defying the court! Even if you destroyed my Sword Forging Manor, you cannot escape the Emperor of Chen's wanted list! You can just wait to be hunted down for the rest of your lives!"
