Zhu Houzhao's words were earth-shattering. Gu Santong's entire body shook violently, and a powerful internal force directly seeped out of his body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The rocks under him shattered, and the corpses of the experts he had sucked dry turned into powder. Even the iron chains tied to his body creaked.
This was even when he was unconsciously releasing his internal strength. Otherwise, those chains would not have been able to lock him down at all.
"Open…"
Zhu Houzhao was also shocked. He did not expect Gu Santong to have such a big reaction. However, he reacted quickly and transformed in the instant Gu Santong's internal force attacked him, blocking in front of Cheng Fei's body.
Otherwise, with Gu Santong's internal energy, even a slight scratch would be enough to break Cheng Fei's bones and tendons, causing him to bleed to death.
"What did you say…Suxin isn't dead?”
However, Gu Santong did not seem to notice the damage he had caused. He stared at Zhu Houzhao as if he was possessed.
"That's right…"
"Impossible! You lied to me! Back then, in order to stop me from fighting Zhu Bujue, Su Xin used her flesh and blood to take my palm. Although I had restrained more than half of my inner energy at the last moment, that half palm was not something she could withstand.”
Without waiting for Zhu Houzhao to finish, Gu Santong was certain that Zhu Houzhao was lying to him. He knew his power very well. Even the martial arts masters of the eight sects would not be able to withstand it, let alone Su Xin who did not know any martial arts at all.
He had hit Su Xin with his palm. How could Su Xin not die?
"Master…let me finish!”Zhu Houzhao said loudly, trying to wake up the bewitched Gu Santong.
"Tell me, tell me clearly. Otherwise, even if you are the emperor, I will never let you off!”Gu Santong grabbed Zhu Houzhao with bloodshot eyes.
"Master, I've investigated the duel between you two very thoroughly. Back then, my imperial uncle risked his incurable internal injuries to receive your Indestructible Diamond Divine Art's palm strike and then used pure Yang to point at the Tanzhong acupoint on your chest. Yes and no?" Zhu Houzhao asked loudly.
"That's right. Zhu Bujue is a talent for governing a country. He knows what to sacrifice in exchange for what. And I'm just a martial artist. Although I lost, I lost to his strategy.”Gu Santong did not refute, and he was very frank that his strategy was not as good as Zhu Budian's.
"In that duel, my Imperial Uncle's Pure Yang Finger was directed at you, but your Indestructible Diamond Divine Art was blocked by my master's wife. Although you withdrew most of your palm force in the end, my master's wife was still killed by you.”
When Zhu Houzhao said this, he was also filled with emotion. Actually, Gu Santong did not lose that duel. If Su Xin hadn't blocked Gu Santong's palm at the last moment, Zhu Budian would've suffered an internal injury that could never be cured even if he didn't die.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs or buts! Gu Santong was willing to admit defeat and had already been imprisoned for eleven years. In the original novel, he was imprisoned for 20 years without food or water until his death.
"Kid, didn't you say that Suxin didn't die? You lied to me…You lied to me!" Gu Santong's eyes were scarlet as if he had gone mad.
"Yes, Master's wife was killed by you. However, he was saved by my Imperial Uncle!" Zhu Houzhao said indifferently.
"Rescued? Impossible, although Zhu Bujue's cultivation is profound, I know his abilities. He definitely doesn't have the ability!" Gu Santong said disdainfully.
Zhu Bujue had been with him since he was young, and he knew very well what Zhu Bujue was capable of. Although he was very skilled, it was impossible for him to bring someone back to life.
"That's right, he doesn't have the ability. But I think Master must have heard of Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom!”Zhu Houzhao stared at Gu Santong as he spoke.
"Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom? The Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom that could bring a person back to life after taking three pills?”Hearing the words " Heavenly Fragrance Doukou ", Gu Santong instantly woke up and looked at Zhu Houzhao in disbelief.
"That's right, the previous emperor had three Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom. They were given to my Imperial Uncle, my Imperial Mother, and Imperial Consort Shu. My Imperial Uncle used his Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom to save his wife's life. However, he only has one, so even though my master's wife is not dead, she's still a living dead.”Zhu Houzhao told Gu Santong about Su Xin's current situation.
"Really? Hahaha…That's great, that's great, it's great that Suxin didn't die. Suxin, wait for me. I will go out and find the remaining two Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom for you. I must save you.”As Gu Santong spoke, he exerted his internal strength and the chains on his body instantly turned into shattered iron.
He was a man of his word. If he said that he was willing to be imprisoned, he would never escape. But now, in order to save Suxin, he didn't even care about his promise.
Now, in his heart, nothing was more important than Su Xin.
"Master, wait a moment. My imperial uncle has mobilized the power of his Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa, Wan Sanqian, and the world's number one detective. Even if you go out, can you find it?”
"Even if I can't find it, I have to find it. At most, I'll bathe the world in blood. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do.”
"Master, are you planning to wash the palace in blood?”
Zhu Houzhao's words instantly calmed Gu Santong down. It wasn't that he couldn't wash the palace in blood, but it was definitely not desirable. He couldn't do this when he was looking for the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom!
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Since I know that the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom was given to my mother and Consort Shu, I naturally have them. It was just that no one knew.”
Zhu Houzhao said as he took out two dried beans. This bean was a little bigger than a soybean. It was green in color and looked quite nice.
Ever since he found out that he had come to World's Best, he had been plotting. And these two Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom had been in his hands for nine years.
"This…is Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom?"
Gu Santong excitedly snatched the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom and carefully examined it, as if he was an old bachelor who had seen a peerless beauty.
"Yes, this is the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom. As long as he fed these two Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom to Master's wife, she would be able to come back to life.”Zhu Houzhao said with certainty.
"Good, good, good…That's great. Houzhao, I didn't take you in as my disciple for nothing. Tell me, what do you want? As long as I have it, I can give it to you. Even with his master's cultivation, he could do it.”
"Master, it's better for you to keep your strength. I don't want anything from Master, but I hope Master can help me with something.”
"Good!"
Gu Santong didn't even listen to what he said and directly agreed.
"Alright, we've finished talking about Master's wife. Next, it's time to talk about him.”Zhu Houzhao got what he wanted and nodded in satisfaction. Then, he dragged Cheng Fei out.
"Me? What about me?"
Cheng Fei was scared out of his wits, especially when Gu Santong went crazy just now. He almost thought he was going to die.
"Have you forgotten what I said before?" Zhu Houzhao smiled slyly and pushed Cheng Si to Gu Santong before he could say anything.
"Master, look at this person. Don't you think he looks familiar?”
