Everyone was stunned, how could there be an imperial edict so soon?
When Wu Bei opened the door to receive the order, he saw a palace official in rich clothes standing there with a smile on his face. He asked: "Is the young master the genius who broke three records in a row?"
Wu Beidao: "I don't dare, it's just me."
The palace man smiled and said: "Liu Yuan of the Sa family is the eunuch who delivers the decree in the palace. He is ordered to come here to deliver the decree."
After finishing speaking, he cleared his throat and said: "I heard that Wu Bei broke three records in a row. I was very happy. I have given permission for Wu Bei to participate in tomorrow's final. I will personally watch the game tomorrow and cheer you on."
After speaking, he smiled and said: "Sir, Your Majesty thinks very highly of you."
Wu Beidao: "How can I, a small outsider, be so favored? I feel ashamed."
Liu Yuan smiled and said: "Master Wu, you have a bright future. If you can enter the top three in tomorrow's final, Your Majesty will definitely receive an extra reward."
Wu Bei: "Thank you very much, Eunuch Liu."
Eunuch Liu said a few polite words and stood up to leave. Wu Bei had little money on him, so he gave him a gold ticket of one hundred thousand taels, which Eunuch Liu gladly accepted.
After sending Eunuch Liu away, he felt that things were strange and said to several bodyguards: "I am an outsider. Even though I have broken the record, I am not worthy of the emperor's attention, right?"
The old escort thought for a while and said: "Sect Commander Wu, at this time the emperor of the Wuying Empire will most likely need the escort commander to appear to suppress the many noble families and aristocratic families that have monopolized the martial arts conference for many years."
Hearing what the old escort said, Wu Bei suddenly became enlightened and said: "It makes sense! The benefits of the martial arts conference have been monopolized by this group of people. The emperor does not want them to continue to monopolize, and my appearance gives the emperor hope."
The old bodyguard had a worried look on his face at this time and said: "Boss Wu, these aristocratic families know the emperor's thoughts, and I'm afraid they will do something bad to you."
Wu Bei said calmly: "If it's not good, then it's bad. Along our journey, aren't there many people who are not good for us?"
The old escort nodded: "That's right. Mr. Wu's strength is incredible, so there's no need to be afraid of them.
It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to make a lot of money in the Wuying Empire."
Wu Bei didn't care about anything else, he just stayed in the inn to practice and wait for tomorrow's martial arts competition finals.
It soon became dark, and at midnight, a man in black suddenly appeared in the yard.
Wu Bei was sitting in the hall. He opened his eyes and said calmly: "Do you have any advice?"
The man in black said coldly: "You should leave the imperial capital tonight. If it's too late, you and your escort team will be in trouble."
Wu Bei: "What's the trouble?"
The man in black sneered: "It's a big trouble."
Wu Bei: "How big is it?"
Man in black:……
"Friend, there is no need to say more about smart people. You should already know what I want to express. Don't attend the martial arts conference and leave immediately."
Wu Bei: "I'm about to take first place. If you let me go, do you think I'm stupid or do you think there's something wrong with your brains?"
The man in black sneered: "Even if you win first place, can you afford the reward?"
Wu Bei: "Why can't I eat it? The emperor told me that in addition to these, he has to reward me heavily, and then show me to you people from aristocratic families that he is not easy to bully."
The man in black was stunned: "Your Majesty said so?"
Wu Bei: "That's about it."
The man in black snorted: "I advise you not to be greedy for those rewards. Only those who are blessed can take the golden elixir of martial arts. Those who should not take it will only lose their lives!"
Wu Bei: "Don't talk nonsense to me. I must get the first place. By the way, go back and tell your master. I will tell the emperor about this and let him investigate carefully. Who dares to talk to the emperor?"
Let’s do it right.”
The man in black was so angry that his face turned black, and he said: "Okay, then you just wait to die!" After saying that, he jumped in the air and was about to leave.
However, as soon as he jumped up, he was pushed to the ground by a force and fell like a dog.
Wu Bei asked deliberately: "Are you okay? Why are you so careless? Should I help you?"
The face of the man in black seemed to be dripping with ink. He did not dare to jump up again, but walked out of the yard step by step.
After the man in black left, an escort said with a smile: "What are these people thinking? They just said a few words and wanted escort leader Wu to give up on the finals. Why?"
Another escort said: "That's right, we are from out of town anyway, so we are not afraid of offending them. As for those who come here, our escort chief Wu is not afraid at all."
Wu Bei sighed: "I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight. You should rest quickly."
Sure enough, when the sky was dim and bright, Wu Bei heard a faint sigh in his ears.
He opened his eyes and said: "Auntie, why are you sighing? Is your man dead?"
In the darkness, a shadow trembled, and then a woman's voice sounded: "Bastard, who are you calling aunt?"
Wu Bei: "If I don't call you aunt, why don't I call you aunt?"
The woman was furious: "Go to hell!"
Suddenly, in the darkness, a wisp of light smoke flew close to the ground. After approaching Wu Bei, it suddenly condensed into a rope loop and was wrapped around Wu Bei's neck.
Wu Bei felt that the smoke was like substance, and he immediately hung him up. He was hanging in the air, and the smoke rope kept shrinking, trying to strangle his neck.
He grabbed the cigarette cord with both hands, but his expression was very calm, and said: "What do you mean? You want to strangle me with this thing, are you kidding me?" As he said that, he pulled his hand, and the cigarette cord was torn off.
The woman sneered: "Don't worry, I won't kill you today, my aunt."
Mom will never leave!"
At some point, two wisps of poisonous smoke got into Wu Bei's nostrils and entered his lungs like insects.
However, not only was he not afraid, he took a deep breath and then exhaled a stream of poisonous smoke.
The woman was surprised. What she was best at was actually using poison. The colorless smoke poison she had just used could kill even a magical monk. Why was he safe and fine?
Wu Bei snorted and said: "Your poison is useless to me. I have a secret power that can dissolve all poisons."
Woman: "No need for poison, I can kill you just the same!"
"Si Lingling!"
In the darkness, two killing lights flew out from the ground and headed towards Wu Bei's feet.
Wu Bei said angrily: "Auntie, are you finished? Okay, I will play with you!"
A huge force was generated under his feet, which directly shattered the killing light. At the same time, he put his hands together, and nine red shadows suddenly rushed out from behind and began to search in the yard.
These shadows were the manifestation of secret power and were very lethal. The woman was quickly caught by a shadow and screamed immediately, and one of her arms was corroded into white bones.
"What a vicious secret skill!" the woman roared.
Wu Bei sneered: "Both each other. My secret skill is called Soul-Eating Demonic Shadow!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman was caught by a second shadow. She immediately fell into the ground and was surrounded by nine blood shadows. Within a few seconds, she screamed and turned into a pile of broken bones.
The escorts woke up in shock and came forward to check. After seeing the woman's death state, their scalps all went numb.
"Tou Wu, your old man's secret technique is really evil!"
These secret techniques were all created by Wu Bei based on his previous experience and the current situation. Even he was not sure about the effect. For example, this soul-devouring demonic shadow shocked him. It was so powerful.
