"Bring it here!" Zhou Yang shouted impatiently when he saw that although the little eunuch took out the map, he did not dare to step forward.
"Yes, yes..." The little eunuch trembled, took two steps forward, and showed his hands on the map.
Zhou Yang didn't even look at it, grabbed the map and put it in his arms.
"Come here, you two!" He pointed at the two leaders of the guards.
"What are you going to do?" one of the leaders shouted sharply.
"Quick, come here!" Zhou Yang's sword flashed again, and the old eunuch hurriedly shouted to the two of them.
The two of them were helpless. Although the old guy was only the chief eunuch, he was a popular figure around the emperor. He was so powerful that even the chief guard was afraid of him, let alone the two of them.
The two had no choice but to walk forward slowly and depressedly.
When the two guards were only a few steps away from the square table, Zhou Yang flashed forward and slapped them on the chests as fast as the wind.
Just as they opened their mouths in shock, Zhou Yang quickly threw a pill into each of their mouths, then hurriedly retreated to the old eunuch's side, and followed the same example, and also drank one for him.
The elixir melted in the mouth without giving them a chance to spit it out.
This series of actions was too fast. As soon as the golden-armored guards understood what was going on, Zhou Yang had already returned to the old eunuch.
"What did you feed me!" The three of them were shocked, and the two leaders of the guards asked sternly, their faces changing wildly.
The old eunuch was already quite frightened, but this move made him collapse to the ground again.
"Don't worry, you won't die in an instant! This medicine is Qibu Powder. As long as you don't move, it will take effect in three hours. However, if there is no antidote by then, you will immediately bleed to death." Zhou Yang said indifferently.
"You!" The two of them were so angry that they were poisoned before they even made a move. This was too frustrating!
It's so annoying, now that my life is in someone else's hands, what can I do?
"What do you want?" One person asked with a livid face.
According to Zhou Yang, as long as he takes seven steps, he will be poisoned and die, so the two of them did not dare to act rashly and stopped the guards who were about to step forward.
"Humph, what don't you want! I sincerely came here to participate in the auction. Not only did you not give me the treasure, but you also wanted to capture it. I want to ask, what do you want?" Zhou Yang snorted coldly.
"This..." The two guard leaders were speechless when asked. What can they say? Isn’t it all the order given by the head steward?
"The antidote to this poison is unique to me. Don't try to find someone else to detoxify it. If you want to survive, you cannot leave this place even half a step, including these guards. If one of you leaves, the three of you will know the consequences!"
"You, what are you going to do? If you leave without coming back, wouldn't we wait to die in vain!" The leader of the guards who stood there blushed and shouted, but his voice was trembling, and he looked fierce at first glance.
"Don't worry, I'll be back in less than three hours, and I'll give you the antidote then."
"Okay, I hope you can abide by the agreement. As long as the antidote is handed over on time, we will never leave this place, including them!" The two of them pointed at the guards and gritted their teeth.
"No one is allowed to leave this place! Someone is coming to get the treasure from the front hall. You two little bastards go and do it. Don't leak the news, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!" Although the old eunuch was still paralyzed on the ground, Already understanding the situation at hand, he hurriedly ordered.
He was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to leave or leak the news, and then the three of them would really die without a burial place.
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
In fact, speaking of it, this old eunuch was also destroyed by Wuwu.
Because this errand was not his, but the auction was hosted by the second prince, and he had a close relationship with the second prince. The second prince sent someone to ask him to personally manage the treasures, so naturally he could not refuse.
Besides, this was a big fat job, and there would be a lot of rewards afterwards, so he did not hesitate to lower his status and personally preside over the affairs of the rear palace.
If he had known that this would happen, he would not have accepted the second prince's job even if he was killed.
"You guys know each other well. I'll take the first step!" After saying that, Zhou Yang flashed and quickly left the back hall.
"Master Manager, this..." A guard leader hurriedly helped the old eunuch up.
"Humph, the matter is over, what else can be done, just wait!" The old eunuch touched the blood on his neck and said angrily.
"This man has extraordinary skills and is truly a peerless master. If he really takes action, we might not be able to subdue him. It's so damn weird. There is no such figure in our martial arts sect? Could it be from another country?" Master?" Another guard leader asked doubtfully.
"Hmph, no matter how powerful he is, can he still be compared to Master Yaxian?" The old eunuch suddenly felt confident.
"No, if this person falls into the hands of Master Yaxian, we will be dead!" The leader of the guards suddenly changed his expression.
"this……"
"Humph, it's all that damn Li Hong's fault! He's so brave, he dared to collude with the gangsters and sneak into the palace to plot a rebellion. He deserves to be punished!" The old eunuch vented all his anger on Deputy Manager Li On the body.
The deputy general manager was unlucky enough. Before he knew what was going on, he was accused of treason.
"Yes, he deserves to be punished!" The two guard leaders also agreed.
They were naturally happy that Deputy General Manager Li was eliminated, so that the two of them would have the opportunity to sit on the throne of Deputy General Manager of Ouchi Guards.
"But now this matter..."
"There's nothing I can do. I can't move anymore, so I can only resign myself to fate."
It's not like they haven't doubted this so-called Qibu San, but who would dare to test the poison with themselves?
There is only one life. If it is true, then their lives will be lost in vain after seven steps, so they can only hope that the person will detoxify them within three hours.
It is said that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. Zhou Yang walked all the way, and he firmly believed this.
The palace was built one after another, with golden-armored guards and royal guards patrolling from time to time, as well as some women in palace attire coming and going.
Zhou Yang had to sneak carefully, twisting and turning, and his head was a little big.
Without the palace map, it would be really difficult to find the so-called Chengxian Palace.
Compared with other palaces, Chengxian Hall is not surprising, but its location is very empty.
There is no palace within a few dozen feet of Chengxian Palace, but there are many flowers, plants and trees of all kinds. The Chongming Palace that the old eunuch said is still some distance away.
When Zhou Yang approached Chengxian Hall, he felt that the temperature around him was a bit high, but it was not obvious. If his inspiration were not so sharp, it would not be easy for others to detect it.
When he was still dozens of feet away from the Chengxian Palace, Zhou Yang stopped, hid his figure behind a tree, held his breath and concentrated, and used his spiritual consciousness to investigate carefully.
After a moment, he raised his brows and suddenly discovered that there were slight fluctuations of spiritual power around the hall.
Sure enough, there are cultivators!
However, these fluctuations do not come from the cultivators themselves, but from forbidden spiritual power fluctuations.
Most general restraints use spiritual stones to provide energy, while extremely sophisticated restraint formations can rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to provide energy. The restraint in front of them obviously belongs to the former.
This was somewhat beyond his expectation.
When he first heard Deputy Manager Li talking about Immortal Master Kia, he thought he was a quasi-cultivator of a certain sect. He was eating and drinking in the palace because he couldn't break through to the Kaiyuan Realm.
Now it seems that I guessed wrong.
"He dares to set up restrictions in the palace. This person is a bit unusual. But in this way, he also tells others in disguise that the palace is the place where cultivators live." Zhou Yang couldn't help but think to himself.
The restriction is relatively simple, so the cultivation level of the people inside should not be much higher. It is unlikely that they are in the Tianyuan realm.
The dignified Tianyuan cultivator is also a high-ranking figure in Dingbei, and it is impossible to succumb in a small secular palace.
If you are not a Tianyuan cultivator, then there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Although the restriction is simple, if it is broken, the movement will be huge, and it will be unsightly to attract the imperial guards. But if this restriction is not broken, how can we enter the palace?" Zhou Yang lurked aside, thinking hard about the strategy of entering the palace.
"Idiot, why do you have to break the ban to get in? Just lure him out!" Zhou Yang suddenly slapped his thigh and cursed himself for being stupid.
As soon as this idea appeared, Zhou Yang was ready to use his spiritual power a little to make some noise.
But just when he was about to take action, an old voice came from the hall dozens of feet away: "A fellow Taoist is coming, why not show up and see him!"
Zhou Yang was shocked and secretly thought that this person's consciousness was really not weak!
I had always restrained my aura before, and my figure was always hidden behind the tree. I just released it a little bit, and was noticed by the cultivators in the temple. Could it be that my judgment was wrong? Is there really a master of Tianyuan in there?
Now that you've been discovered, there's no need to hide. You can just run away if you can't fight!
"Haha, fellow Taoist is really good at it, I admire you!" Zhou Yang smiled slightly and stepped out. In a few ups and downs, he was already ten feet away from the Chengxian Palace.
"Fellow Taoist, that's ridiculous. I'm a guest from afar. If you don't mind, please come in and talk about it!" After saying that, the door of the palace suddenly opened wide, and the fluctuation of spiritual power disappeared.
Zhou Yang was stunned. When the people in the palace acted like this, were they asking you to enter the urn, or opening the door to welcome guests?
You must be on guard against others and be extra careful. But since others invite you, you can't appear timid.
After a slight hesitation, Zhou Yang's spiritual power was secretly circulating in his body, and he was ready to respond at any time. Then he walked forward slowly, hesitated slightly at the door of the hall, and then stepped in.
The light in the hall was very dark. As soon as Zhou Yang stepped into the hall, a wave of heat hit his face, followed by the refreshing aroma of medicine that entered his mouth and nose.
Zhou Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly raised his eyes to take a look, only to see a tall cauldron standing in the middle of the hall, with firelight flickering under the cauldron.
The person in the hall is actually an alchemist!
Zhou Yang's mind was spinning, and the fragrance of the medicine in the palace did not float out at all. This showed that the restriction was not an ordinary protective formation, but to prevent the medicine from leaking out, and also blocked heat.
Sitting next to the cauldron was an old man with white beard and hair. The old man was dressed in a green Taoist robe. He had no crown on his head and only used a bamboo hairpin to pass through his bun. He looked quite like an immortal.
"Fellow Taoist, please sit down. I'm sorry that I'm refining a furnace of elixirs, so I can't get up to greet you. I hope you'll forgive me." The old man looked at Zhou Yang, his voice full of anger.
