Hearing Martial Emperor Liu Che's question.
Although the group of necromancers felt uneasy, they still maintained their composure and looked at the leading Great Necromancer, Jiang Shentong.
As the saying went, if the sky fell, there would still be tall people to hold it up.
As an old senior in the necromancer world, he was the leader of the necromancers in the Great Han Imperial Palace.
For such a big matter, the first person who should step forward must be the world-famous and profound Jiang Shentong, Great Alchemist Jiang.
However, Jiang Shentong was not stupid.
He heard Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, say that Xu Yan wanted to expose all the immortal techniques.
Although he didn't believe it, he knew that Xu Yan must have grasped some secrets of the immortal technique since he dared to say that.
The only thing he could not be sure of was which immortal technique secrets Xu Yan had mastered.
So...
"Therefore, for the sake of your own life, it's better to die than to die!”
Jiang Shentong sneered in his heart and then said leisurely,"Since Your Majesty has spoken, we outsiders will naturally not back down. May I know who the Xu Shu Ren and Xu shi Your Majesty is referring to?”
"Studying physics, Xu Yan, Xu Shuren greets everyone!”
Xu Yan heard the question of the leading alchemist in the hall and stood up leisurely. He greeted the people in the hall unhurriedly.
His expression was calm. He did not show any nervousness or discomfort because of the people in the hall and their scrutinizing gazes.
"You are Xu Shu Ren?"
Seeing that Xu Yan was not old, Jiang Shentong instantly felt relieved. Then, he sneered,"What a joke. I once dream-walked the world and traveled through the ages. I discussed the Dao with the sages of the Hundred Schools of Thought for countless years, but I've never heard of any study of things.”
"I see that you are still young and have yet to make a big mistake. As long as you sincerely repent and admit that you and the so-called study of things are deceiving the emperor and fooling the world, I am willing to personally plead with the emperor and the nobles in the palace for you to give you a chance to change. How about it?”
Jiang Shentong saw that Xu Yan was not old, so he spoke directly and coaxed him.
"Nothing!"
Xu Yan looked at him speechlessly and said,""Actually, this is what I wanted to say to you. You're already so old, but you're still here to bluff and fool the world. Aren't you afraid that you'll lose your integrity in your later years?”
"As for why you haven't heard of the theory of investigating things, the reason is very simple. It's because the theory of investigating things wasn't created by the ancient sages.”
I'm here, so there's the theory of investigating things!
This sentence left his mouth.
Everyone in the hall could not help but be shocked.
This... was really arrogant. He was completely comparing himself to the sages of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and was trying to open up a new school of thought outside of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy.
"Ignorant brat, you're really arrogant to the extreme.”
"You're just a kid, and you want to be compared to the sages of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy?”
"Moreover, you brat, you actually dare to blaspheme the gods of the world. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the gods?”
After Jiang Shentong heard Xu Yan's words, he was shocked. Then, he laughed out of extreme anger and scolded loudly.
Similarly, his words echoed the thoughts of most people in the hall. Many people nodded in agreement after hearing his words.
"Silence!"
"What a racket!"
Martial Emperor Liu Che shouted and stopped the noise in the hall. He said,"" There's no need for you to argue verbally. Who's right and who's wrong still needs to be proven by facts. I hereby announce that the competition has begun. All necromancers can now perform the divine immortal techniques one by one.”
"Also…"
Liu Che paused for a moment before looking at Jiang Shentong and continuing,""As the leader of the necromancers in the palace, you will be the first to start.”
Jiang Shentong's expression changed when he heard this.
Martial Emperor Liu Che's words completely destroyed his previous idea of " dying a fellow Daoist but not a poor Daoist ".
This made him extremely regretful.
If it wasn't for his mouth that was lacking and insisted on provoking Xu Yan, he probably wouldn't be the first to go up.
However, when he thought of Xu Yan's young face.
Jiang Shentong suppressed the worry in his heart and cupped his hands at Liu Che.""Yes!"
He decided to use his specialty.
He also did not believe that Xu Yan, who was so young, could crack his exclusive secret technique.
When Jiang Shentong thought of this, he regained his confidence and said proudly,"When I was young, my ancestor, Duke Taiwang, bestowed me with a technique. It has been sixty-three years since then.
Now that he had already achieved success in his cultivation, he could hurt his hands when he took things from a pot of oil, summon ice, fire, lightning, thunder, and lightning out of thin air, kill demons and exorcise ghosts, swallow clouds and spit fire, and so on.
I wonder what kind of immortal technique you, a junior, want to see?”
Jiang Shentong also had the right to be proud.
After all, not only did he master a wide variety of immortal techniques, but he could also do things that ordinary people could not. There were many secret techniques that no alchemist could see through until now.
He did not believe that a twenty-year-old kid could see through his unique immortal technique.
After Xu Yan heard Jiang Shentong's words, his expression did not change. He said indifferently,"There's no need to choose. Just display all the immortal techniques you know. Whether it's true or not, we'll know when the time comes.”
Whether it was a cantrip or a magic trick, it was easy to crack.
He didn't have to spend so much effort to find any flaws.
As long as they confiscated all their props, it would be fine.
If they really had the ability, they could just let them wash up and perform naked in an open space.
"What an arrogant brat."
"In that case, I'll show you my ability to summon ghost flames and lightning to eliminate ghosts!”
Jiang Shentong was so angry that he laughed and snorted at Xu Yan.
Then, he turned to Martial Emperor Liu Che and said,""Your Majesty, please get someone to prepare a basin of boiling water. I want to use the boiling water to summon ghost fire, and then summon lightning to eliminate the ghost.”
Summoning ghost flames with boiling water and then summoning lightning to get rid of ghosts?
Upon hearing this, not to mention the young Martial Emperor Liu Che, even the other ministers and alchemists in the hall were shocked.
Especially those necromancers, the way they looked at Jiang Shentong instantly changed.
Good heavens.
He also needed to use special tools that he had secretly made to use the divine immortal technique to fool people.
He did not expect that the great necromancer in front of him could already cast divine immortal techniques without props.
Such methods were truly terrifying to the extreme.
Could there really be ghosts and gods in this world?
Martial Emperor Liu Che was a little bewildered. He could not help but look at Xu Yan, wanting to see his reaction.
Xu Yan's expression was strange when he heard Jiang Shentong's words. Even his gaze towards Jiang Shentong became disappointed.
That expression seemed to be saying,"This is it, this is it?"”
Liu Che saw Xu Yan's reaction and instantly relaxed. He ordered the chamberlain beside the hall,""Go and deliver the items Immortal Jiang needs. I want to see just how good Immortal Jiang's immortal technique is!”
I hope everyone will support my new book and give the author some motivation to write!
