This is the martial arts world, what are you cultivators interfering in?

Chapter 36 The True Dragon Technique Emerges

Nine-Medicine Breaking Yuan Powder!

Everyone was taken aback when those five words were uttered.

Li Guan and Mr. Zhu were even more dumbfounded. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion...

impossible.

Everyone who climbs the Mountain of Seeking the Way must drink clean water at the foot of the mountain to cleanse their body and mind. Even Mr. Zhu and others are no exception, but prisoners are exempt!

This is also why they went to great lengths to put these experts in death row.

But now, even these experts have been poisoned?!

"Li Lan!"

For some reason, Mr. Zhu suddenly looked at Li Lan and said, "It's you! It was you who did this, wasn't it?!"

He didn't know how Li Lan had managed it, but his intuition told him that in the current court and among the people, only Li Lan could have seen through the murder plot!

Upon hearing this, Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhu, as I have said, taking office too early is not a good thing."

"What exactly did you do? No, I know now, you tampered with their things when you were in prison, and you already found out their identities... But how could you know that? The time was so short, and the clues Zhao Tanyue gave you were simply not enough!"

Mr. Zhu was deep in thought, desperately trying to figure out the reason behind it all. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he abruptly turned to look at one of the prisoners, exclaiming, "Gu Changfeng?!"

Among the assassins, Gu Changfeng stepped forward without any further concealment. He walked directly to Li Lan, knelt down, and said, "Gu Changfeng was ordered by Grand Scholar Li Lan to investigate the assassins in the prison. I have done my duty!"

Everyone in the room was stunned and puzzled.

"It's actually Li Lan?"

"He knew about the assassin all along, so he sent people to scout ahead of time?"

"These assassins were poisoned by him?!"

The courtiers were all horrified.

What kind of devil is Li Lan?!

Since the grand wedding at the Lin family a month ago, he has suddenly become famous. First, he helped Zhao Tanyue expose the secret letter, then he gained the name of the Poet Immortal. He was involved in a cheating case but inexplicably gained the emperor's favor and became a favorite of the emperor. It is quite strange. Now, he has even participated in such a major event, causing the Third Prince's attempt to usurp the throne to fail.

At this moment, Zhao Tanyue also said loudly, "Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Li Lan has devoted himself to serving the country. In order to investigate the assassin, he did not hesitate to go to jail. In the end, his hard work has paid off!"

She was also extremely excited. This drama had several twists and turns, and was thrilling and dangerous.

If it weren't for Li Lan's help, perhaps today... the Great Li Dynasty would really have changed hands.

For a moment, everyone in the room wore extremely complex expressions, including fear, resentment, malice, and admiration...

"He used a ruse, risking serious injury to stage this self-inflicted wound, all to gain my trust in Gu Changfeng. What a meticulously planned scheme, full of subtle foreshadowing..."

Mr. Zhu's face was ashen. He gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "I, Zhu, have roamed the capital for many years and considered myself quite wise. Only today do I realize that I am nothing but a fool, hahaha! Li Lan, I admire you, I admire you!"

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsed to the ground, and immediately lost consciousness!

Li Guan was furious and yelled, "Li Lan! Li Lan! You beast!"

How much preparation did he make for this day? How much effort did he put in? But now he has failed!

His assassins are his key to victory or defeat; now that they are all poisoned, how can he maintain control of the situation?

In fact, Lin Ruoxue alone could wipe them all out!

He stared at Li Lan, his hatred reaching its peak, his eyes turning red!

"Li Lan!"

On the altar, having witnessed such a dramatic turn of events, Emperor Xianxian, who had regained his chance at life, finally recovered slowly. He stood up and said, "Good, very good! Zhao Tanyue and Li Lan have rendered great service, and I will reward them handsomely!"

He turned around, looked at Li Guan with murderous intent in his eyes, and said, "Miss Lin, you should kill this villain!"

Just now, the situation seemed hopeless. He saw no hope of becoming an immortal and was powerless to control his own destiny. He was truly despondent. But now the situation has reversed, and this king has regained his former demeanor!

Lin Ruobing looked coldly at Li Guan, also preparing to make a move.

"Wait a minute—"

But at that moment, a clear and ancient voice rang out from afar, spreading throughout the entire Seeking the Dao Mountain, causing the plants and trees to sway gently.

Lin Ruobing's expression changed. She turned around and saw a figure approaching rapidly on the jade steps leading up the mountain, moving with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, the figure had already arrived in the area.

"Top-notch!"

Lin Ruobing's expression changed slightly.

"Mr. Zuo!"

Li Guan and the others, on the other hand, seemed to have seen a savior!

At this moment, there are very few experts on this Mountain of Seeking the Dao who can actually fight. With this person's appearance, at least resisting Lin Ruoxue will not be a problem!

"Zuo Tianlong, protector of the Taiyi Sect!"

As soon as he appeared, Lin Zheng immediately spoke up!

"I haven't been to the martial arts world for many years, I never expected that General Lin would know my humble name!"

Zuo Tianlong smiled slightly, then looked at Lin Ruobing and said:

"Hehe, little girl, you actually managed to recover almost top-tier power from the Nine Medicines Breaking Yuan Powder. Such talent is truly unprecedented."

Mr. Zuo glanced at Lin Ruobing and nodded approvingly: "Your strength surpasses that of my sect's Holy Maiden! You truly deserve the title of the number one among the younger generation!"

"If I hadn't been more observant and checked in time, I'm afraid you would have truly ruined this important matter on the Mountain of Seeking the Dao!"

Mr. Zuo said, "Originally, my attack on you was already bullying the weak and taking advantage of your vulnerability, but since it concerns the opening of the Immortal Path, I can't care about that anymore!"

After saying that, he struck out with his palm directly at Lin Ruobing!

Wherever his palm strikes, the wind and thunder roar, his technique is extremely fierce and ruthless. The grass and other vegetation within three steps around him are instantly snapped and sent flying, demonstrating his immense strength!

Lin Ruobing's expression changed drastically, but she knew that the lives of her father, Li Lan, and the others were in her hands, so she had no choice but to force her way through!

She unleashed a series of Snowflake Divine Palm strikes, using seven palm strikes to counter her opponent's single strike. However, the powerful internal energy surged forth, causing her to retreat rapidly, her internal energy becoming chaotic.

Zuo Tianlong didn't give her a chance to adjust her breathing. He unleashed a torrent of internal energy, and Lin Ruobing could only force herself to endure it.

"Hehe, Lin Ruoxue, surrender now. If you're willing to take my sect's Gu Pill, I might spare your life. How about it?"

As Zuo Tianlong's inner energy surged forth, he spoke.

Lin Ruobing gritted her teeth and endured it, but her cultivation level ultimately failed to reach the top-tier level. At this moment, her entire body was tense, beads of sweat kept sliding down her snow-white chin, and her body was constantly retreating...

Zuo Tianlong exerted even more force, determined to defeat Lin Ruobing in one fell swoop.

But at that very moment, Lin Ruobing's retreating foot suddenly touched a hand.

That hand quietly and stealthily grasped her ankle.

Instantly, a vast surge of internal energy flowed into her ankle through the Sanyinjiao acupoint, rushing up along her meridians and immediately helping her withstand Zuo Tianlong's attack!

Lin Ruobing was greatly shocked. Who else in the arena had recovered their inner strength? But at this moment, she couldn't even turn her head, and she couldn't be distracted at all. She immediately mobilized her inner energy to block Zuo Tianlong!

Zuo Tianlong had thought that Lin Ruoxue would be defeated in one blow, but unexpectedly, when she was on the verge of collapse, she unexpectedly generated a rather strong internal energy. He couldn't help but be slightly startled, thinking that Lin Ruoxue was indeed a person of great reputation and could not be fathomed by reason. So he activated his internal energy and continued to suppress her.

For a time, Zuo Tianlong and Lin Ruobing were actually competing with each other in terms of internal energy.

Moreover, as the two sides remained locked in a stalemate, their internal energies intertwined, at this point, anyone who wanted to give up would suffer the terrifying impact of the other's internal energy. The only way was to completely defeat the opponent!

They've held out!

The internal energy around Lin Ruobing and Zuo Tianlong surged and became chaotic, causing sand and stones to slowly move outwards.

The two of them remained silent, and the surrounding parties were extremely tense.

Everyone knows that the outcome of the battle between Lin Ruobing and Zuo Tianlong will determine the fate of the entire Dali Empire!

Lin Zheng didn't dare to say a word, he just stood there guarding with his knife, but a fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Kill her! Kill her!"

Li Guan gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush over there himself.

Zhao Tanyue, Li Yue, the Empress, and even the entire court were on tenterhooks.

Even the Emperor Xianxian on the altar had a very solemn expression at this moment!
