Chapter 7 I Can't Beat Him
Inside the ancient temple.
Upon hearing this, Li Anlan, Li Kuang, and Qingfeng Daoren all stared in shock at Chu Sheng. He was so meticulous.
Their keen observation even caught their attention to Cui Xuan's shoes, something they hadn't noticed before.
Upon hearing Chu Sheng's words, they instantly realized that Cui Xuan was not a simple scholar and that he was definitely not just a scholar.
They immediately became wary, their inner strength surging, ready for battle at any moment.
Cui Xuan looked up at Chu Sheng, his expression still calm and composed. "It's truly admirable that you have such insightful abilities so early in your career."
"Now that you've found out, I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean."
"My name is Cui Xuan, a disciple of the Jixia Academy. I was invited to the capital by Chang'an Academy and have no ill intentions towards you."
Chu Sheng asked, "Are you sure you mean no harm?"
Cui Xuan laughed and said, "If I had any ill intentions, I could have taken action during the chaos earlier. There was no need for you to expose me now."
"I don't want to get involved in your feud. Once the rain stops, we'll go our separate ways."
Chu Sheng restrained his aura and calmed his inner energy. "That's for the best!"
He looked at Li Anlan and said, "Your Highness, you should rest. No more assassins will come tonight."
"good!"
Chu Sheng then looked at Qingfeng Daoren and Li Kuang, "Seniors, I will keep watch tonight."
The two knew that Chu Sheng's strength and divine sense were far superior to theirs, so they were certain that Chu Sheng's night watch would be foolproof.
They had exhausted themselves in the battle just now, so they immersed themselves in cultivation.
Chu Sheng looked at Cui Xuan and saw that he was studying the ancient book again. "The light is too dim. It's bad for your eyes to read."
"Thanks for reminding me, I'm used to it!"
"You practice Confucianism and Taoism, right?" Chu Sheng asked.
"I'm just a scholar, I don't know anything about Confucianism or Taoism," Cui Xuan said calmly. "Brother Chu, the Misty Rain Pavilion is very powerful. If you dare to kill their people, you won't have a good future in the martial arts world."
"They're the ones who're tough to deal with, but the Zhenyuan Escort Agency isn't easy to mess with either," Chu Sheng said calmly, closing his eyes and falling into meditation. The release of the ninth move of the Chaotic Heaven Blade Technique, Opening Heaven, earlier had given him instant enlightenment.
He created the tenth move of the Chaotic Heaven Blade Technique – Return to One.
Chu Sheng was pleasantly surprised to discover that after being infused with the max-level Nine Yang Divine Skill, his comprehension and understanding of martial arts became extremely powerful, and he could instantly comprehend even the most difficult martial arts techniques.
This is something I never dared to imagine before.
next second.
He repeatedly practiced the tenth move of the Chaotic Heaven Blade Technique in his mind, while continuing to comprehend the Nine Yang Divine Skill. In the blink of an eye, his internal energy returned to its peak, and his blood and qi were vigorous. He felt at peace and calm, his mind was clear, and his foundation became more and more solid.
Cui Xuan lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Sheng, sensing the extremely strong and yang internal energy swirling around him. What terrifying internal energy! This is the strength a young man should have.
The academy's teachers have cultivated for sixty years, yet their internal strength doesn't seem to be as strong as Chu Sheng's.
It's just too amazing.
How did he manage to do that?
Nothing was said that night, and dawn broke in the blink of an eye.
The rain stopped and the weather cleared up.
Sunlight streamed into the ancient temple. Chu Sheng, his aura restrained, looked at Cui Xuan, who was packing his books, and asked, "Scholar, are we setting off?"
Cui Xuan said, "It's time to get going."
Chu Sheng nodded, "Have a safe journey!"
Cui Xuan: "You're the same."
An hour later, the escort team set off again, but this time there were only five people left: Li Anlan, Li Lan, Li Kuang, Qingfeng Daoren and Chu Sheng.
After Bi Yuntao and his group left, all of Li Anlan's guards had been killed in the assassin's attack the previous night.
They were buried in the open space behind the ancient temple.
Chu Sheng drove the carriage as always, while Li Kuang and Qingfeng Daoist stood guard on either side of the carriage. "Master Chu, after entering Yunyang City, we will stop for a while. I have some things to take care of."
"May I?"
She now speaks to Chu Sheng in a consultative tone.
"certainly!"
.........
This moment.
At the summit of the mountain.
Cui Xuan, dressed in white like an immortal, carrying a book chest on his back, calmly watched the caravan gradually disappear into the distance on the official road. Beside him, a man in black robes looked displeased. "Why don't you make a move?"
"I can't kill him!" Cui Xuan said calmly. "My rule is that I must kill when I make a move. If I can't kill him, I won't do it."
The man in black robes looked stunned and asked incredulously, "What did you say? You can't kill him?"
"As far as I know, with the arrival of Ghost Rakshasa and Night Demon, most of the warriors escorting Li Anlan have left. She only has three people with her, the strongest of whom is Qingfeng Daoren. With your cultivation level, killing them is as easy as crushing an ant."
"No, as long as Chu Sheng of Zhenyuan Escort Agency is here, no matter how many people you send, they won't be able to harm the Princess in the slightest," Cui Xuan said in a deep voice, reminding you, "Chu Sheng is extremely strong; ordinary martial artists cannot be his match."
"Don't send any more useless people, or they'll only become victims of Chu Sheng's blade."
"Even if all the martial arts practitioners leave, as long as Chu Sheng of Zhenyuan Escort Agency is there, it will be very difficult for you to get rid of the Eldest Princess."
The man in black robes was skeptical. "Isn't he just a young punk from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency? Is he really as strong as you say?"
Cui Xuan said, "I can't beat him. That's all I have to say. Farewell!"
The man in black robes watched Cui Xuan leave. With his book box on his back, he instantly covered a hundred meters away. His speed was incredibly fast, as if he were walking on flat ground. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared.
"Chu Sheng of Zhenyuan Escort Agency!"
"It's Zhenyuan Escort Agency again. After what happened back then... Zhenyuan Escort Agency's power plummeted. They've forgotten the pain once the wound has healed."
"Chu Sheng is not even twenty years old yet, how strong could he be? I just don't believe it." The man in black robes said in a chilling tone, "Send a message to Misty Rain Pavilion, have them send their top-ranking assassins, we absolutely cannot let the Princess return to the capital."
Cui Xuan continued heading towards the capital, but whether he was going to Chang'an Academy or had other purposes remained unknown.
afternoon.
After the carriage entered Yunyang City, Li Anlan had the group settle in a restaurant, while Li Lan went out for a while.
An hour later, Li Lan returned, only to tell Li Anlan that everything was done. No one asked what she had been doing.
Chu Sheng had no interest in this at all; he didn't care about anything else, only about Li Anlan's safety.
They take the money and deliver the goods safely.
"Master Chu, Senior Li, Daoist Qingfeng, here are three silver notes as your reward." Li Anlan placed the silver notes in front of the three men; each note was worth one hundred taels of gold.
Looking at the silver notes before him, Li Kuang asked in confusion, "What does Your Highness mean by this? You no longer need our escort?"
Li Anlan said, "Senior Li, you misunderstand. The others have withdrawn from the escort mission, so your reward for this escort mission has been increased to five hundred taels. This one hundred taels is a deposit for you."
"After arriving in the capital, I will personally present the remaining balance."
Upon hearing this, Li Kuang and Qingfeng Daoren put away the silver notes without hesitation. The sudden pay raise made their smiles even brighter than chrysanthemums.
Li Anlan looked at Chu Sheng and said, "Master Chu, your reward has been increased to one thousand taels of gold."
"Take it!"
The employer offered to pay more, which was something Chu Sheng hadn't expected.
Who would complain about having too much money? Especially when it's all earned with their lives.
Of course, Chu Sheng received a commission of one thousand taels of gold, and Li Kuang and Qingfeng Daoren had no objection. It was reasonable for the capable to do more and to receive more.
They cast grateful glances at Chu Sheng, knowing full well that without him, they wouldn't have earned even a hundred taels of gold, and that they were able to earn five hundred taels was all thanks to him.
"Master Chu, the assassinations by the Misty Rain Pavilion never stop until the target is dead. Let's grab something to eat and set off as soon as possible."
"The road ahead will become increasingly difficult, Master Chu should be mentally prepared."
Chu Sheng took a sip of wine and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. This is my first time escorting a caravan. I won't ruin my reputation. Even if all the assassins from the Misty Rain Pavilion come out, I'll take them all down."
