Chapter 29 - 29 29 Reversed Sun Dan

29: Chapter 29: Reversed Sun Dan 29: Chapter 29: Reversed Sun Dan “What?”

In an instant, everyone present showed a shocked expression on their faces.

It was surprising that a True Martial Ninth Layer could kill a Spiritual Martial Level Six in just one move.

Although the bandit had been careless, it proved Long Yan’s ability.

More importantly, Long Yan wasn’t poisoned.

“How is it possible that Brother Long Yan didn’t get poisoned?

I clearly saw him drink, how did he do it?”

“It’s a pity his cultivation is too weak.

If he could help us detoxify, we might have a chance.”

“Brother Long Yan, you should escape quickly.”

…

Long Yan not being poisoned was definitely an unexpected turn of events.

“Impossible, even a Heavenly Martial Realm cannot escape the Nightmare Flower poison unscathed.”

Peng Shi’s eyebrows furrowed, unable to figure out where things had gone wrong.

“Long Yan, how come you’re not poisoned?”

“I grew up on poison, so the Nightmare Flower barely has any effect on me.”

Long Yan spoke with confidence.

“There might still be hope.”

Qin Wuque looked at Long Yan as if he saw hope.

Earlier, he learned about Long Yan’s astonishing ability from Ghost Tiger’s mouth, which left a deep impression on him.

Witnessing Long Yan defeat a Spiritual Martial Level Six with one move only increased his shock.

“Brother Long Yan, this time we have all been implicated because of me.

Since you’re not poisoned, you should escape now.”

As long as someone escaped, Peng Shi and the others wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.

In other words, Long Yan would not be in danger if he escaped.

“Why should I escape?

I haven’t collected ten thousand Spirit Stones yet.”

A faint smile hung on Long Yan’s face, appearing serene, without any tension when facing a formidable enemy.

“Kid, even if you’re not poisoned, you’ll still die.”

Tiger Slayer snorted coldly.

As his words fell, he swung his Wolf Tooth Stick and fiercely smashed it towards Long Yan, intending to smash him into mincemeat in one strike.

“Tiger Slayer, let me deal with you.”

At this moment, a cold glint flashed in Ghost Tiger’s eyes, and he suddenly threw a punch at Tiger Slayer, breaking his Wolf Tooth Stick.

A claw mark fell from the sky, enveloping Tiger Slayer within.

“Pfft.”

Ghost Tiger’s attack was swift and unexpected.

He was much stronger than Tiger Slayer, who only reacted when the claw mark struck him.

Tiger Slayer spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood after being struck by lightning, his strength dissipating.

He had completely lost his combat power.

It was his good fortune that he was not killed.

“Impossible.”

The scene made Peng Shi’s mind go blank, and he staggered back two steps, mumbling, “No…it’s impossible.

Ghost Tiger, you were clearly poisoned by the Nightmare Flower.

How can you be fine?”

“Peng Shi, you traitor, your day of death has come.”

After severely wounding Tiger Slayer in one move, Ghost Tiger charged towards Peng Shi, launching a flurry of attacks.

“Ghost Tiger is fine too?”

At this point, Qin Wuque breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had returned from the brink of death.

Since Ghost Tiger was unharmed, Peng Shi and the Sky Tiger Bandit Gang would not be able to fight him anymore.

Tiger Slayer was seriously injured and had lost his combat power.

Peng Shi was struggling to survive under Ghost Tiger’s attacks, while the rest of the bandits were utterly stupefied, losing their previous arrogance.

“Run!”

In just a few breaths of time, all of the bandits started to flee for their lives, faster than a rabbit’s father.

“Your Highness, please spare my life, I know I was wrong.”

Peng Shi was no match for Ghost Tiger.

Every one of Ghost Tiger’s moves was deadly, causing Peng Shi to teeter on the brink of death.

Before long, Ghost Tiger returned with the half-dead Peng Shi, tossing him right in front of Qin Wuque: “Your Highness the Crown Prince, I’ll leave this traitor to you for disposal.”

Plop.

In a surprising move, Ghost Tiger kneeled down before Long Yan without warning.

“Brother Long Yan, on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince, I thank you for your great kindness!”

After finishing his statement, Ghost Tiger respectfully kowtowed three times to Long Yan.

“Captain Tiger, what are you doing?

Please get up.”

Long Yan extended his hand to help Ghost Tiger up, a smile on his face: “Taking people’s money to eliminate their misfortunes is my duty.”

“Ghost Tiger, what’s going on?”

Qin Wuque was puzzled, as he knew that Ghost Tiger only kneeled to him and no one else, even in the presence of the current Emperor.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince, here’s what happened…”

Immediately afterward, Ghost Tiger recounted the details of the incident.

“So that’s what happened.”

After learning the truth, Qin Wuque’s gaze towards Long Yan changed, and he respectfully bowed to him in gratitude.

“Young Master Long Yan, I will never forget your life-saving grace.

Once we return to the Imperial City, I will surely repay you handsomely!”

At this point, his way of addressing Long Yan had changed, as without him, Qin Wuque may have already perished in this place.

“No need for formalities.

Since I joined this team, it’s only natural for me to contribute my part.

When we reach the Imperial City, just remember to give me my reward.”

Long Yan laughed.

Qin Wuque, being a crown prince, didn’t have much of an air about him, which was what Long Yan appreciated the most.

“Thank you, Young Master Long Yan, for saving our lives!”

Subsequently, hundreds of people respectfully saluted Long Yan, their gazes towards him filled with gratitude and admiration.

“We’re all on the same side here, no need to be so polite.”

Long Yan waved his hand and then said to Qin Wuque, “Your Highness, we shouldn’t stay here for long.

I suggest we continue our journey to the Imperial City of Tianwu overnight.”

“Agreed.”

Qin Wuque directly agreed, and then his gaze fell upon Tiger Slayer, coldly saying, “Tiger Slayer, you’ve been nesting in the Sky Tiger Mountain Range, killing and stealing, committing all sorts of evil deeds.

You should’ve known a day like this would come.”

Then, he looked at Peng Shi: “As for you, you betrayed your master for personal gain.

You must not be spared.”

Peng Shi’s betrayal deeply hurt him.

After taking a deep breath, Qin Wuque said to Ghost Tiger, “Ghost Tiger, execute both of them and throw their bodies into the mountains to feed the wild beasts.”

“Yes.”

Ghost Tiger landed a palm strike on the Heavenly Spirit Covers of both Peng Shi and Tiger Slayer, ending their lives.

Then, he grabbed their corpses and with a powerful swing, sent the bodies flying away, landing in the distant mountains.

Following that, the group began to travel overnight.

Long Yan didn’t help them detoxify, but within six hours, the Nightmare Flower poison would dissipate on its own.

Long Yan was invited to join Qin Wuque in the carriage.

“Your Highness, you’ve been personally seeking the Phoenix Spirit Flower.

It must be very important to you, isn’t it?”

Long Yan began probing Qin Wuque, as he needed the Phoenix Spirit Flower at all costs.

Qin Wuque nodded without concealing anything, telling Long Yan the whole story.

Since Long Yan saved his life, he had no intention of hiding these matters, and he needed someone to confide in.

As it turned out, Qin Wuque’s mother was the Empress of the current Tianwu Dynasty.

This connection allowed Qin Wuque to be named Crown Prince.

However, half a year ago, the Empress was plotted against by the West Palace Consort, Concubine Xiao, while practicing an Ice Profound Art, leading to Qi Deviation.

In the end, the experts of the royal family took action.

Although they saved the Empress’s life, the cold poison in her body could not be removed.

Upon hearing of this, the Emperor was furious, blaming the Empress for losing the dignity of the royal family and preparing to replace her with Concubine Xiao.

In order to save his mother’s position as Empress, Qin Wuque sought help everywhere, eventually finding an elixir that could eliminate the cold poison, the Reversed Sun Dan.
