I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World novel Chapter 26

Zhou Yi was unwilling to get involved in the power struggle in Fengyang Kingdom, but he wanted to do something for Li Wu. In the past, when he watched martial arts dramas, there were always some martial artists who volunteered to protect a certain official.

“That’s just the beginning of the plot. Just pretend it doesn’t exist…”

Zhou Yi originally thought so, but after chatting with Li Wu for a few days, he actually had the thought of becoming that kind of martial artist. This move was inconsistent with the established detachment!

“Mr. Zhou, with your indifferent personality, you actually made such a promise. Doesn’t this mean that my choice is good?” Li Wu clapped and smiled. At some point, a few black lines had appeared on his face, spreading from his neck to the top of his head.

A Connate Grandmaster’s skin, tendons, and bones were refined externally, and his internal organs and bones were refined. The Primordial Chaos in his body was one, and he was almost immune to poison. However, this poison went straight to the human brain. After it erupted, he would turn into a living dead.

“I don’t think it’s very good!” Zhou Yi lowered his gaze and suddenly thought of some faces. He felt inexplicably frustrated.

“I’ve never let down the Imperial Court in my life. I only treat my clansmen harshly. Those enemies usually don’t dare to show themselves. After I die, they’ll definitely find my clansmen to vent their anger!” Li Wu pondered for a moment and said, “There are a few experts in the army. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any problems…”

Zhou Yi promised, “If no connate appears, the Li family will be fine.”

Zhou Yi could kill anyone below the Connate realm with a wave of his hand!

“I thank you!” Li Wu tried to stand up and bow. Suddenly, his vision blurred and he fell back to his seat. An invincible Connate Grandmaster had fallen from a high and mighty Duke to an unstable state in the blink of an eye because of inexplicable persistence.

“How much secret virtue does the Zhao royal family have to be able to tolerate such humiliation?” Zhou Yi sighed and said, “Even if there are rare old monsters, I guarantee that the Li family will not die out.”

Li Wu said apologetically, “In that case, Mr. Zhou won’t be able to live in seclusion in the Sky Prison.”

Zhou Yi shrugged. “I’ve been in Sky Prison for decades. It’s not a bad idea to change places.”

Li Wu asked, “Where to?”

Zhou Yi pointed to the east. “The Imperial Prison!”

Li Wu was speechless.

“General Li, you don’t know humor. I’ll go out for the time being and change my identity before returning to the Sky Prison…”

Zhou Yi stopped. He reached out and tested the tip of Li Wu’s nose. He was no longer breathing

Year 17 of Hongchang.

The Duke, Li Wu, was imprisoned. The title “Zhongwu” meant “loyal to the king and love the country.”

Emperor Hongchang was seventy-six years old. Despite the obstruction of hundreds of officials, he insisted on holding the Duke’s funeral as the emperor.

The historian described it in detail, thinking that it was a model of the ruler and minister, passed down to future generations.

New Year’s Eve was coming. The clouds were dense, the north wind was biting, and the snow kept falling all day.

Midnight.

The patrol was afraid of the cold and hid in the barracks drinking. The Divine Capital was silent except for the sound of snow falling.

The Duke’s Mansion.

The night watchman was dozing. Shadows flashed before his hazy eyes. He was about to raise his hand in greeting. The blade slashed across his neck, and hot blood sprayed all over the ground. Silence. Slaughter!

One by one, the men in black moved like cold machines, killing people as if they were cutting grass. They moved in from the periphery of the Duke’s Mansion, leaving no one alive.

“Assassins!”

There was a sudden scream, followed by a continuous clash of swords.

The experts in the residence were woken up from their sleep. Some faced the enemy in the front courtyard, while others ran to the back. The division of labor was clear like a military formation.

The backhouse.

Li Ye, who had succeeded the position of the Duke, had more than a hundred martial arts experts protecting him.

Commander Li said, “The enemy came prepared. Why don’t you change your clothes and leave through the secret passage?” “We can’t leave.”

There was no fear on Li Ye’s face. Back then, he had also followed his father to war. He pointed to the eastern residence and said, “The thieves have surrounded the Duke’s Mansion, but there’s no movement from the Prince Anhua’s Mansion. Where do you think I can escape to?”
