Chapter 158 I've never seen such an arrogant person in my life.
Inside the state guesthouse, in a secluded corner.
Just as a patrol of imperial guards passed by, two figures appeared out of thin air, none other than Shan Tianxie and Gu Santong.
"What kind of lightness skill is this, Senior Gu?"
"Wudang's Cloud Ladder Leap makes walking so easy!"
As if remembering something, Gu Santong lowered his voice and said with a mischievous grin, "Want to learn? I'll teach you!"
Ever since I met Shan Tianxie, I've felt that this kid has an incredible number of ideas.
Even the invincible young rascal felt a slight pressure; finally, this kid had something that interested him.
"Thank you, you're quite nice."
Dan Tianxie didn't care about all that. Since you're going to teach me, then I'll just learn.
After carefully determining the location, Shan Tianxie had to admit that this state guesthouse was truly enormous.
For a moment, he couldn't tell which room the Empress Dowager was in.
We can only search them one by one. Since we were able to find them by chance, we'll have to do it anyway.
Since he brought Gu Santong with him this time, surely the father won't lose to the son.
The two exchanged a glance, and Gu Santong instantly understood—they were asking him to come and find them!
So he randomly found a room and used his lightness skill to leave, with Shan Tianxie following closely behind.
Although there were many imperial guards stationed inside the state guesthouse, as well as some guards from Izumo Province, these people were all considered elite troops in the military.
However, in front of a powerful expert at the late stage of the Innate Realm or a Grandmaster level, they were like children, completely unable to detect their presence.
Gu Santong and Shan Tianxie pushed open the door and stepped inside.
"Ok?"
As soon as he pushed open the door, Shan Tianxie was overjoyed, not for any other reason than that he saw the iconic jar, a jar big enough to stuff a person inside!
Found it! What great luck! Saved us all that trouble.
Without further hesitation, Shan Tianxie clenched his fist in the air, and a suction force instantly burst forth from his palm, the Star Absorbing Technique reappearing!
Gu Santong looked at the scene before him and his eyes flashed with a sharp light. They actually practiced this kind of kung fu.
This skill actually has some connection to him!
However, Shan Tianxie didn't care about all that, and the moment the jar was opened...
A head slowly floated to the surface. Anyone with even a slightly weaker nerve would probably have wet themselves on the spot!
Gu Santong looked closely and saw that it was an old woman, who looked to be around fifty or sixty years old. She was soaking in the jar and looked extremely disheveled.
He immediately teased in a low voice, "Oh, what's this old lady doing playing in the water in the middle of the night?"
"you....."
The Empress Dowager was so angry at Gu Santong's words that she almost fainted. Who in their right mind would play in the water so late at night?
And have you ever seen anyone play in the water and end up stuffing themselves into a jar?
However, as an empress dowager and a big winner in the palace intrigues, she was naturally no ordinary person in terms of cunning and shrewdness.
Seeing that both of them were wearing masks, and that they didn't seem to be the same people who had kidnapped him, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.
So they decided to reveal their identities and take a gamble!
"This brave warrior is joking. I am the Empress Dowager of the Great Ming Dynasty! If you two can rescue me from this place..."
Once I am freed, I will have all the gold, silver, treasures, high office, and generous salary I could ever want!
Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Shan Tianxie's eyes.
This sounds like an online scam, like the one where someone offers money and promises to make you a great general.
However, he shook his head and dismissed those thoughts.
"Your Majesty need not worry, I have come precisely for this matter!"
"That's wonderful! Please, brave warrior, lend a helping hand!"
The Empress Dowager was overjoyed. She had always lived a life of luxury in the palace, and the greatest hardship she had ever suffered was probably when the late Emperor supported her. When had she ever endured such suffering?
Seeing her savior, she couldn't stand it for another second!
As for whether the two people in front of her were lying to her, what's the point of playing this game when things have come to this point?
Besides, do you really think she, the Empress Dowager, is stupid? Once we return to the palace, whether it's true or false, isn't it up to her to decide?
"piece of cake."
Dan Tianxie chuckled. Now that the Empress Dowager has been found, the Wuhuan are no longer a problem. Do you really think Gu Santong is just a figurehead?
Thinking of this, Dan Tianxie slightly activated his true energy, and suddenly urged the true energy in his palm.
Click!
The jar immediately developed cracks, as if the entire jar could no longer bear the weight.
The next moment, the entire jar exploded, revealing the Empress Dowager inside!
"I have finally emerged. I wonder who invited these two brave warriors. I keep my word and will reward them handsomely upon our return!"
The Empress Dowager knew perfectly well that although they had escaped the predicament, they were not yet back in their stronghold.
Therefore, his tone was very polite, and his words were all about the rewards the two would receive after returning to the palace.
"Let's talk about these things after we get out of here. The most important thing right now is to get out of here!"
Dan Tianxie said in a low voice, as for the promises the Empress Dowager made, he didn't take them seriously. Whether they were given or not didn't matter to him, since he wasn't there for those rewards anyway.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The Empress Dowager nodded repeatedly. "The noise was quite loud just now; we've probably alerted the villains. Let's hurry and leave!"
Immediately, Shan Tianxie and Gu Santong led the Empress Dowager quickly outside.
However, as soon as the three of them stepped out of the room and into the courtyard, a figure was already waiting there for some time.
"It's him! Karasuma!"
Upon seeing this person, the Empress Dowager immediately recognized him and her face turned pale with fright. Clearly, Wu Huan had caused her a lot of trouble before!
On the other hand, Wuhuan was quite satisfied with the Empress Dowager's attitude towards him, which showed that his methods over the past few days had not been in vain.
However, upon seeing the masks on Shan Tianxie and his companion's faces, he sneered, "Not only did you two hide in the middle of the night, but you didn't even bother to say hello."
So they're planning to take away the distinguished guest that I went to so much trouble to invite? Isn't that a huge disrespect to me?!
Gu Santong looked at the Wuhuan man before him, who acted as if he were the only one in the world, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"What are you babbling about, you dog? If you can withstand thirty of my moves, I'll just commit suicide on the spot, how about that?"
"Insanity!"
Karasuma was instantly enraged, his face flashing with fierce light and murderous intent, his expression filled with extreme anger.
He had never seen such an arrogant person since his debut, and then snorted coldly.
"I've never seen anyone as arrogant as you in my entire life! As the saying goes, the older a person gets, the more timid they become."
I never expected you to do the opposite! I'll tear that stinking mouth of yours apart later!
"Stop talking nonsense, you've seen it all today. Hurry up and get on with it. After I beat you up, I have other things to do!"
