Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 271 Zhou Wei's skill failed!

The system's feedback was somewhat alarming, and Zhou Wei was startled when she first heard it.

A terrestrial paradise, a blessed land that has not appeared in the last hundred years.

It's astonishing that a terrestrial immortal is stationed in such a remote place as Ningzhou.

After a moment of shock, Zhou Wei realized that Elder Xun was definitely not some kind of terrestrial immortal.

Otherwise, how could he not see through Zhu Qi's breath-concealing technique?

Both Zhou Wei and the Princess were at the fifth rank of cultivation, but because they used the concealment technique given to them by the little monk, they could not be identified as cultivators.

Zhu Qi once said that his self-created technique of concealing one's breath could not be deciphered by those whose cultivation had not broken through to the Celestial Realm.

Therefore, there must be something fishy about Elder Xun's half-step terrestrial immortal realm cultivation.

It is highly likely that by using some secret method, one can forcibly break through the cultivation level and reach the highest realm!

Having figured this out, Zhou Wei felt more confident.

The energy on Elder Xun's side is still surging.

His cultivation level has steadily increased to a point that even Tan Lin fears, and there is no sign of it stopping.

Seeing the shocked expressions on Tan Lin's and the Princess's faces, Elder Xun felt smug!

"A bunch of chickens and dogs, how could they know how powerful I am? I am..."

But before he could finish his triumphant words, Old Xun felt another heavy slap across the face.

The figure was moving so fast that he couldn't see it clearly at all.

Snapped--

The immense force instantly interrupted his surge in cultivation.

Old Xun had intended to intimidate everyone with his surging aura, but Zhou Wei's palm strike felt like it had grabbed his throat.

After falling to the ground again, Old Xun's anger was almost tangible.

"Zhou Wei, you bitch!"

Zhou Wei picked at her ear, not caring much, and said, "Come up with some other words to insult me. I'm immune to the word 'bitch'."

"And do you know what you just looked like?"

"Like a quacking duck that suddenly has its neck stepped on."

Old Master Xun's face flushed red, and he could no longer heed Huo Shan's reminder that the Crown Prince must not be harmed.

He began to mobilize all the energy in his body, determined to tear Zhou Wei to pieces!

Amidst the howling wind, Tan Lin cried out in alarm, "Princess, leave this place immediately! A full-force attack from a terrestrial immortal could reduce this small courtyard to dust!"

The eldest princess remained unmoved, her gaze fixed on Zhou Wei.

She believed that Zhou Wei would not put her in a disadvantageous position.

As the powerful beings at the Land Immortal Realm stirred up the storm, the heavens and earth above the Spirit King's Mansion also changed color.

Hearing the howling wind outside the window, the eldest prince clenched his fists, his face tense.

Huo Shan's expression was also not relaxed. In the past, when Elder Xun made a move, there had never been such a big commotion.

"Just a few ordinary people, yet Elder Xun went all out. What... what exactly happened?"

No one could answer Huo Shan's question.

The courtyard where the eldest princess resided had now become a forbidden area.

Huo Shan and the others all knew Elder Xun's rule: when he took action, no one else was allowed to be present.

Otherwise, if you get dragged down and die, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

Now that the commotion is so great, even if Huo Shan wanted to send someone over to take a look, no one in the Prince's mansion dared to step forward.

On the other side, Elder Xun had gathered his energy and was about to unleash a strike on Zhou Wei.

Suddenly, he felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his limbs and bones, causing an unbearable itch. His accumulated energy dissipated instantly, like a deflated balloon.

Old Xun's chest suddenly contracted, and he felt a metallic sweetness in his throat.

He clutched his chest, forcing down the mouthful of blood, but could no longer hold on and knelt on the ground.

When he looked up at Zhou Wei, his eyes were bloodshot.

"You vile woman, it's you again! How dare you interrupt me twice, causing my internal energy to become chaotic and almost leading to a qi deviation!"

Zhou Wei smiled and said, "Interrupting other people's spellcasting is my favorite thing to do."

"Old man, don't you feel uncomfortable all over? Not only are your hands and feet itchy, but you can't even circulate your Qi properly?"

Old Xun knelt on the ground, his expression unchanged as he manipulated his internal energy, only to find that it was exactly as Zhou Wei had said.

For practitioners, the flow of Qi is the flow of destiny.

If one's vital energy is like a stagnant pool, it's equivalent to losing all one's cultivation!

This is how Jiang Yueli's meridians were damaged back then.

However, Xun Lao was slightly different from Jiang Yueli. His qi was stagnant because Zhou Wei used the Purple Illumination Divine Needle to seal the acupoints in his body.

This is exactly the same method used to deal with Wan Qianliang back then!

Zhou Wei wasn't actually sure if this trick would work on a terrestrial immortal.

Looking back now, it was still useful!

Tan Lin and the Princess breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Elder Xun's demeanor just now was truly intimidating. After all, he was a half-step terrestrial immortal. Even Zhu Qi wouldn't dare to confront him head-on.

The two of them only breathed a sigh of relief for a moment before they saw Elder Xun patting his acupoints all over his body.

Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and the eighteen meteorite iron needles that Zhou Wei had pinned inside his body were also blasted out!

The black iron needle, carrying a strong wind, shot towards Zhou Wei at extremely high speed.

The princess only had time to shout "Be careful!" before eighteen meteorite needles flew past Zhou Wei's cheek.

Zhou Wei turned around and saw that the meteorite needle she had used for so long was completely twisted and broken!

Old Xun sneered and stood up from the ground.

"I thought you had some special skills, but it turns out you just stole the secret techniques of the Divine Doctor Valley."

"I said back then that Wan Fengnian was just a piece of trash. How dare you use the Divine Doctor Valley's secret techniques against me? You are really overestimating yourself."

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess's heart stirred.

She and Zhou Wei had long suspected that Wan Fengnian, the leader of the Divine Doctor Valley, had disappeared.

Hearing Elder Xun speak so disparagingly of Wan Fengnian now confirms once again that their guess was correct.

Wan Fengnian's disappearance is probably also related to the fake emperor!

Old Xun glanced at the meteorite needles that had been reduced to scrap metal on the ground and said indifferently, "Alright, I've had enough of playing with you. There's no need to waste any more time."

Tan Lin nervously backed away, his eyes darting around.

He was planning a suitable escape route and had decided that he would risk his life to rescue the princess.

Otherwise, all his efforts of lying low for more than ten years would have been in vain.

Looking at Zhou Wei, Xun Lao said, "You slut, you're quite strange. You seem to have no cultivation, yet you can control eighteen needles. Even Wan Fengnian couldn't do that back then."

"And your movements are also incredibly elusive; I couldn't dodge them. But that's not enough."

"You have no cultivation, so no matter how agile you are, it's like a castle in the air. Your palm techniques can humiliate me, but they can't hurt me."

"Even if it hits me, it's like scratching an itch through a boot; it's useless except for delaying the time."

The more Xun Lao spoke, the more smug he became.

"In the path of cultivation, cultivation and vital energy are the key. Without cultivation, everything is just a mirage."

All three people present could understand what Elder Xun said.

This means that Zhou Wei's Tathagata Palm never misses and no one can dodge it, but its power is insufficient!

Young people like Wan Qianliang lack experience and might be fooled by Zhou Wei.

Although Xun Lao had killed countless people, Zhou Wei only made two moves before he completely figured out her tactics.

If Zhou Wei hadn't had a backup plan, she would have died at his hands today!
