He Chuan left the room like a ghost. Within a few breaths, he had already arrived at the forbidden area at the back of the mountain.

He quietly observed the person from the shadows and saw that the person was a eunuch from the palace.

Moreover, the other party’s strength was not low. He was an expert on Xiantian seventh stage. In addition to the other party’s attire, it was evident that he was a eunuch of a higher status.

This eunuch had brazenly come to the rear welding forbidden area. He should have had some matters approved by the imperial authority.

Moreover, looking at his ugly expression, he had already used his qinggong skill to the limit. It is evident that he had urgent matters to attend to.

Although this eunuch’s strength was very high, he was unable to discover He Chuan, who hid in the dark.

The Dance Saint restrained his aura. Unless it were an expert of the same level, it would be not easy to detect his tracks.

“Nine thousand years old Lord, His Majesty has been poisoned by the Heart Devouring Pill. We are helpless. Please come out and help us. Otherwise, the Great Zhou Dynasty will perish!” The Xiantian seventh-rank eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the stone door.

He wanted to use his sincerity to move nine thousand years old Wei Zhengchun.

He Chuan frowned. He did not expect someone to sneak into the Imperial Palace and poison Zhou Shimin, using such a despicable method.

If Zhou Shiming died suddenly, then just as the eunuch had said, the Great Zhou Dynasty would perish.

However, nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhengchun could not come out because he was already dead.

In the end, he still had to lend a hand. He Chuan Sighed in his heart and instantly disappeared from where he was.

This seventh rank eunuch did not sense anything wrong at all. He just knelt on the ground and begged the dead person to come out and help.

Zhou Shimin’s resting palace was in complete chaos.

The Emperor had been poisoned on purpose. The news must have spread by now. If the soldiers in the army found out, they would not have the mood to continue fighting.

Once Zhou Shimin died, the Imperial Court would have no chance to turn the tables.

Moreover, the murderer came and went freely. It was likely that the Imperial Palace had already been infiltrated. A few loyal eunuchs and officials secretly set up a plan to find the murderer who had poisoned him. It would be best if they could get the antidote.

However, the idea was excellent, but it did not go smoothly.

They could not find any information about the murderer. Even if they did, the murderer probably would not have the antidote.

It was just a bit more comfort in their hearts.

Empress Qin Lihua sat anxiously by the bed and looked at the unconscious Zhou Shimin. Her heart was already a mess.

Her once elegant and pretty face was replaced by paleness and worry. She seemed to have aged a few years in an instant.

As the Empress of the Zhou Dynasty, Qin Lihua naturally knew how dangerous the situation was.

If she were really unable to save Zhou Shimin’s life, then no matter how many tricks she had, it would be challenging for her to help Crown Prince Cheng’an ascend to the throne.

Furthermore, the Great Zhou Dynasty that would collapse instantly was not something that she and Crown Prince Cheng’an could manage.

Qin Lihua held Zhou Shimin’s hand tightly, and tears flowed down her face like broken pearls.

She turned around and wiped her tears dry, regaining her dignified appearance.

As the Empress of the Zhou Dynasty, she had the duty and responsibility to try her best to stabilize the situation and not let the Zhou Dynasty collapse.

At the critical moment, if she also collapsed, it would be the real collapse.

“Haven’t the Imperial Physicians come up with a plan yet? Has there been any news from nine thousand years old? Have you found the murderer?”

Qin Lihua’s tone was cold as she glared at the group of people besides her.

“This…”

Everyone present was intimidated by her aura and did not dare to make a sound.

They feared they would offend the Empress and have their heads fall to the ground.

“Reporting to the Empress, His Majesty’s condition is awful. If it weren’t for the several eunuchs who only used their true energy, I’m afraid His Majesty would already be dying. The poison of the Heart Devouring Pill is very strong. I’m afraid…” The most senior imperial physician said, he was also very anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

This was because there were already forty-nine kinds of poison in this kind of poison. It would be difficult to distinguish the toxicity of the poison in a short time.

Even if they were given a year or so, it would still be very difficult to produce an antidote.

Either nine thousand years old Wei Zhengchun would appear, or they would find the antidote to the Heart Devouring Pill.

It would be tough to solve the problem by relying on a few experts’ input of true energy unless they broke through to become martial saints on the spot.

“The detestable seven great sects actually used underhanded methods. They should have been exterminated in the first place!” The most powerful old eunuch revealed a fierce look in his eyes. He was very disdainful of such methods.

There were many tricks in the martial arts world. They could not be blamed for this.

Suddenly, a figure flew into the royal palace without any scruples.

“How dare you barge into the Emperor’s bedroom!”

“Who is it!”

“Catch the assassin!”

The imperial guards around the Emperor’s bedroom drew their sabers one after another.

They rushed towards the black figure that barged in.

The mysterious black figure was surrounded by vitality energy, so the sabers and swords could not cut through it.

The imperial guards were no match for him. The mysterious black figure flicked his sleeves, and the imperial guards were pushed away by an invisible force.

Now, they placed their hopes on the hidden experts in the bedroom.

“How dare you trespass into His Majesty’s sleeping chamber! Hurry up and leave!”

The experts in the sleeping palace thought the enemy had come, so they stepped forward to stop him.

With so many grandmasters at his side, even the leaders of the seven major sects didn’t dare to barge in.

Unexpectedly, the black figure didn’t care and directly flew into the sleeping palace. He had no intention of stopping.

This kind of action angered the group of grandmasters, and they all pulled out their weapons!

Among them, the strongest one was already at Xiantian ninth stage.

“Get out of the way!”

The person who came was He Chuan. He wore a silver mask on his face and mobilized his body’s vital essence. In an instant, countless true energy condensed into silver needles scattered like rain in the sky.

The faces of the experts in the imperial palace changed drastically. They did not expect that the person who came was so terrifying. Just one move was already so powerful.

The silver needles that filled the sky were like sharp divine weapons. Even if they used all their strength, they could not withstand it.

This was also because He Chuan had shown mercy. Otherwise, under the full-force attack of a saint cultivator, those who were weaker would have died on the spot.

Those whose strength was around Xiantian’s ninth stage might barely be able to survive.

Behind them was Zhou Shimin. The experts knew that they were no match for him, so they could only brace themselves and continue to go forward to stop him.

Therefore, they raised the 120% true energy in their bodies and used their unique techniques.

In an instant, the true energy in the sky was like a raging wave trying to bury He Chuan.

“Humph!”

He Chuan snorted in disdain. He slightly mobilized the vital essence in his body and used Pure Yang Technique. The golden protective energy instantly expanded two times.

The incoming true energy hit the golden protective energy and dissipated into nothingness.

The vitality energy around his body did not even ripple. It was clear how powerful he was.

He pushed both of his palms outward, and the vital essence inside his body kept spreading out. The air within a hundred feet radius seemed to have been sucked dry, and all the experts felt it was difficult to breathe.

Even moving a finger was very difficult.

One had to know that the weakest among them was at Xiantian fifth stage. Although it was a bit difficult to traverse the martial world of the Central Plains, they were still grandmaster experts.

It was not so difficult that they could not even resist.

However, the reality was that they could not even resist. This person was really too terrifying. Just what kind of expert was he?

They could only watch as He Chuan entered an uninhabited land and easily passed through everyone’s defensive line.

He came to Zhou Shiming’s side and saw an old eunuch with white hair expending his strength and true energy. He Chuan pushed the other party away.

He Chuan placed his hand on Zhou Shimin’s body and began to treat the Emperor in front of everyone’s shocked and angry eyes.
