The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 435 The Little Emperor Comes to Assassinate

After each extraordinary killing spree, Chu Yanqiu had to spend time recovering his strength. Shen Wen leaned on the bed, accompanying the sleeping Chu Yanqiu.

It was around 11:00 in the evening. It was already late at night outside and everything was quiet. A strong wind blew past, opened the small window, and knocked over the teacup on the tea table. It made a dripping sound and emitted a slight clanging sound.

At this time, Chu Yanqiu, who was originally sleeping on the bed, woke up. With sleepy eyes, he sat up and looked towards the window quietly.

When he turned around, he bumped into Shen Wen beside him. Chu Yanqiu looked at the sleeping face of this woman with a gentle look on his face.

He gently got up from the bed, held the woman who had been protecting him wholeheartedly in his arms, moved her to the bed very gently, and covered her with his own quilt.

Chu Yanqiu squatted beside the bed, staring intently at the sleeping woman. He didn't even know that the feeling he was feeling at that moment was called happiness.

Just as he was immersed in happiness, the open window brought the noise from outside into his ears.

His ears moved and he immediately caught the murderous intent hidden outside.

He stood up from the bed, walked to the window, and then jumped out of the room with his lightness skills.

Chu Yanqiu followed the direction of the sound and soon quietly arrived at the southwest wall of Duke Ji's Mansion.

In the dark night, the streets outside the wall were quiet, and there was nothing as far as the eye could see. This was even with the high-definition vision of a peerless master like Chu Yanqiu.

But even such calmness did not deceive Chu Yanqiu.

After many fights, Chu Yanqiu had already guessed that it was the blood talismans from a few days ago.

Chu Yanqiu pulled up a devilish smile at the corner of his mouth, but he still turned around and looked at the courtyards of Duke Ji's Mansion behind him.

Are these beasts planning to engage in an open war in Ji State?

There was a hint of hesitation in Chu Yanqiu's eyes.

All that flashed through his mind at this moment was the image of the woman sleeping beside the bed.

Nothing else matters. He hesitated only because he didn't want to disturb the woman's peaceful sleep.

Sudden.

A voice spoke behind him.

"I knew you were indecisive."

Chu Yanqiu turned around to look at the person who was talking to him.

It turned out to be the Ji family’s immortal ancestor Yuchi Lian.

Yuchi Lian sighed and said, "I didn't teach you well. Since you realize you can't defeat the enemy alone, you should retreat temporarily and find another way. With your hearing ability, can you find out whether the blood talismans who came to assassinate you this time are from the same faction, or are they from two factions like last time, the Little Emperor and Prince Rui?"

Chu Yanqiu's ears twitched again.

He said, "They are from the same faction."

When Chu Yanqiu said this, he recalled the time when Eunuch Guo came to visit the emperor during the day.

Chu Yanqiu asked, "Is it the blood talisman sent by the little emperor?"

He knew why Eunuch Guo was so easily dismissed. Behind him was the supreme power of the young emperor. The young emperor had tried to kidnap the man during the day but failed, so he sent the blood talisman to rob him at night.

He didn't notice that Yuchi Lian hid the gleam in his eyes, but had a teachable look on his face as he nodded and smiled.

Chu Yanqiu's face turned sullen. He snorted coldly, "Does he think he can snatch her from me like this? He's already lost so many blood talismans. He doesn't even consider that all the blood talismans he brings are just for the sake of giving her away."

As he spoke, the fighting spirit emanating from him intensified. He was about to charge down, but Yuchi Lian stopped him. "Why are you so incapable of violence? Have you forgotten how badly you were injured a few days ago? If you act so impulsively this time, all your skills will be wasted, don't you understand?"

Chu Yanqiu didn't listen to her. He swung his sleeves and said, "It's not as serious as you say. It's just a hundred or so blood talismans. I don't need to use any tricks to kill them all."

After each fierce battle with the enemy, Chu Yanqiu felt that his spiritual power would be improved. This was not the most important thing. He extremely enjoyed the exhilarating feeling in the fierce battle, like a bud growing wildly, immersed in every cell of his body, just like what people call bliss.

Chu Yanqiu shook off Yuchi Lian and jumped off the wall. As his body hid in the darkness, he could hear the chaotic sounds of collisions and fighting.

Yuchi Lian stared at the direction Chu Yanqiu ran in, her lips tightly pursed.

It was indeed so. A puppet carrying the emperor's wrath would only act according to his own will. Even she, the person behind his success, the immortal ancestor whom he feared, could not influence him at the critical moment.

But so what?

She is a demigod who has cultivated to the level of a half-step immortal. Since she won't listen to him, she will use some little tricks. He can't escape from her grasp.

Just as Yuchi Lian had expected, Chu Yanqiu had a very hard time fighting this time, because he had not recovered at all from the serious injury he suffered many days ago, just as she said. The evil energy that the emperor used in anger was only a short-lived life-shortening skill, and every time he used it, he was one step closer to death.

Yuchi Lian waited until Chu Yanqiu could no longer hold on, then he lent him a hand and personally brought the injured and unconscious Chu Yanqiu back to Duke Ji's Mansion.

Yuchi Lian threw the unconscious Chu Yanqiu to Chi He. Chi He, with a look of shock on his face, carried his own son to the study and urgently asked someone to bring the court doctor.

The court doctor took his pulse and gave him some treatment, which managed to save half his life.

It was already the hour of Yin at this time. Chi He personally fed Chu Yanqiu the medicine, and then dismissed the court doctor and other guards. He personally stayed by the bed, waiting for his master to wake up at any time.

Chihe was tired after tossing and turning for most of the night, and soon fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

Yuchi Lian, who was hiding in a big tree outside, saw all of this. She hid not far away and did not leave.

The reason she didn't leave was because what happened tonight was not over yet.

Just as Chihe fell into a deep sleep, a figure appeared outside the window.

He entered Chu Yanqiu's house silently and cast a spell to freeze the sleeping Chihe.

After finishing this matter yesterday, he raised his palm and hit Chu Yanqiu who was sleeping on the bed.

Yuchi Lian, who was watching from outside, curled up the corners of his mouth slightly.

Just when the man's palm wind was about to hit Chu Yanqiu, a force inexplicably appeared on Chu Yanqiu's body and blocked the man's palm wind.

When the man saw this, his eyes were full of unwillingness. He did not give up and attacked Chu Yanqiu again.

This happened several times, but he was blocked inexplicably each time. The man's anger reached its peak, and his last attack was so powerful that it ripped the entire bed curtain apart.

After the bed curtains were torn into pieces and in chaos, Chu Yanqiu on the bed was not only fine, but he even woke up from his coma.

He opened his eyes and saw the man who had assassinated him clearly. He was also very surprised. He got off the bed, looked the man up and down and said, "You?"

Chu Yanqiu looked at the torn bed curtains and couldn't help shaking his head.

He felt that this was impossible, but this person was standing right in front of him, real and true, so could there be any other possibilities?

He looked at the man and said, "What should I call you? Your Majesty the Emperor or some Immortal Venerable from the West Palace? Anyway, which Immortal Venerable are you?"

Chu Yanqiu's memory was confused, and most of it was imposed and tampered with by Yuchi Lian. He only remembered that he was so powerful that he had no rivals in the world, and the only ones who could compete with him were the blood talismans of the little emperor and the few immortals in the West Palace.

That's right!

The one who came to assassinate him this time was the little emperor who was high and mighty in the palace.

The little emperor looked at Chu Yanqiu and smiled faintly. He said, "I didn't expect that your body was seriously injured, but your brain was actually normal after the injury."

Not only did Chu Yanqiu's brain injury return to normal, he also ignored the little emperor's nonsense. He said, "It seems you want to take advantage of my illness to kill me? But you are wrong to think so. Even if I am injured, you still can't get the upper hand against me in a battle with you. If you don't believe me, come and try it."

The little emperor stared at Chu Yanqiu intently, and the fierceness in his eyes could not be hidden.

The young emperor was deeply wary of Chu Yanqiu's Emperor's Fury Qigong. He also understood the secret of that Qigong: it only strengthened when faced with a stronger opponent. When faced with an extremely strong opponent, the stronger opponent would only become more powerful after a battle. He believed he could defeat Chu Yanqiu, but he wasn't sure he could kill him. If he couldn't kill him, then after surviving the ordeal, he would have become even stronger than himself, and he didn't want to give him that opportunity.

When the little emperor thought of this, his expression suddenly changed. He smiled faintly and said, "My dear, you are wrong to think so. I came here late at night to visit the patient. Besides... I have some news to tell you."

Chu Yanqiu tilted his head, waiting for what he was going to say next.

The little emperor said, "My dear, you don't know yet, do you? Your grandfather, the Lord of Xiliang City, is trapped on the northern border."

Chu Yanqiu's expression tightened as he looked at the little emperor seriously.

The young emperor said, "Your grandfather's fault for being careless. While it's a good thing he helped you occupy the northern border, he's too old to stay in the northern border town for power. My dear minister, you should still remember? The northern border town has always been guarded by Lord Shen's second brother, Shen Yan. Although I stripped him of his military power a few days ago, how could the power he has accumulated over the years be so easily eradicated? You were arrogant and domineering in the capital, and you killed Lord Shen's entire family except him. It was you who forced Lord Shen to rebel. Chu Yanqiu, do you know that Lord Shen not only had a small army of blood symbols, but also 70,000 Jin family soldiers supported by Jin Zhongquan's family. Lord Shen, with these 70,000 elite Jin family soldiers, joined forces with Shen Yan's forces and have already besieged the Jianghu army led by your grandfather in the northern border town."

After Chu Yanqiu heard his detailed account, his face turned ashen.

The little emperor said, "My dear, the best plan now is for you to rush to the northern border town to rescue your grandfather."

Chu Yanqiu's mind worked very quickly.

Chu Yanqiu asked, "Your Majesty, is this an imperial order for me? Then how many elite troops does Your Majesty intend to dispatch to the border city to quell the rebellion?"

The little emperor looked at him and smiled faintly. "Since you say so, then so be it. As for military power, I am really in a dilemma. My dear minister, please be understanding of me. There are many rebel riots in Daju Kingdom, and the borders on all sides are in turmoil. All the soldiers I have are not enough to quell the rebellion even if they are all distributed. How can I have extra troops to follow you to the northern border city? I have another mission for you when I send you to the northern border this time. That is, you need to bring back the troops from various places on the northern border to Daju Kingdom. It would be best if you can assassinate the traitor Shen Yan without any fighting, and return his army to Daju Kingdom. Daju needs that group of troops right now. Do you understand, my dear minister?"
