Chapter 362: Wen Yanzhao plays hard to get, and the heroes at Qianjintai present their treasures (Part 2)
As Wen Yanzhao spoke in a majestic and low voice, the other three "immortals" also appeared on the third floor of the pavilion!
Sikong Changfeng's eyes, which seemed to be spitting fire from under his silver-white helmet, stared intently at the gentlemen below, emphasizing each word:
"How dare a mere mortal do this?!"
Baili Dongjun and Yin Luoxia also had frosty eyes and glanced at everyone coldly.
This time, Tu Zao and the other servants at Qianjintai were scared to death.
Tu Zaoke was not a member of the imperial court, and he had no idea that the four people were pretending to be "immortals."
I thought I had offended the Immortal Beauty, so I quickly knelt on the ground with a pale face and repeatedly explained:
"The Immortal Lord is very perceptive, the Immortal Lord is very perceptive!"
"I, Tu Zao, am just a lowly merchant. I can only show respect to you Immortal Lords. How could I have the audacity to murder you..."
Seeing Tu Zao kowtowing and begging for mercy, the eunuchs from the palace and the Minister of Rites Hong Chengfu remained expressionless. They just raised their heads and bowed slightly to Wen Yanzhao and the other four.
Hong Chengfu spoke first, pointing to the priceless treasures in the brocade box and said:
"I heard that the Four Extremes Immortal Lords have arrived in our Dali capital. His Majesty has specially ordered us to come and present treasures to the Immortal Lords. The items displayed here all match the descriptions in the Immortal Lords' notice..."
"If you, Immortal Lord, do not mind, please move downstairs and take a closer look. This will allow me to personally display them one by one for you!"
The other eunuch, who had been sullen all the time, curled up his lips into a smile and echoed in a shrill voice:
"Master Hong is absolutely right. My fellow immortals, I have also brought treasures from the palace treasury. Please..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the eunuch's words came out, Wen Yanzhao waved his sleeves, and with the help of his internal force, the treasures flew up from downstairs in an instant.
Then he released his internal energy and put it all into the storage space without caring about anything else.
Tu Zao and the other guys saw that he just waved his hand and those treasures disappeared before their eyes. They felt that it was a miracle that only immortals could perform, and their expressions became more humble!
Hong Chengfu and the eunuchs in the inner court were also a little confused. Although they had known that Wen Yanzhao and his companions were impostors before they came, they were now hesitant after seeing what Wen Yanzhao had done.
Just as they were hesitating, Wen Yanzhao's words rang out again from upstairs:
"I will accept the favor from the emperor of the world!"
"But someone among you poisoned someone, and this is absolutely unforgivable!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yanzhao raised his right hand and tapped with two fingers.
Hong Chengfu, Tan Li and the eunuchs suddenly felt a red spot appear in front of their eyes, followed by a sharp pain in their foreheads, as if they were burned by charcoal fire!
"what!"
Hong Chengfu and the Minister of Works Tan Li were just civil servants after all. They screamed immediately, covered their foreheads and rolled on the ground.
The other eunuchs had some skills, but they also groaned in pain and had no strength left in their bodies!
"You are here to offer your treasures. I have no intention of killing you, but poisoning you is a fact!"
"We have all cultivated for tens of millions of years. This little poison from the mortal world is of no use to us. But you, harboring evil intentions, deserve to die!"
"I know that you are also being instructed by the person behind the scenes. I will reward you with a point of Nine-Turn Lihuo between your eyebrows, and give you until sunset to hand over the thief who poisoned you! If I haven't seen the poisoner by sunset, hehe..."
"Just wait for the fire to ignite and your body to turn into ashes!"
After saying this, Wen Yanzhao winked at Sikong Changfeng, and with lightning-fast speed, he swung his right palm—
"boom!"
Hong Chengfu and others were still groaning and struggling when they felt a huge force coming at them. In an instant, they were knocked out of the hall by Wen Yanzhao's palm power!
Sikong Changfeng immediately understood, and used his finger and gun to activate his internal energy to transform into a three-foot-long silver-scaled dragon that rushed straight out of the door!
"boom!"
There was another loud roar, and the dragon blew a huge hole under the people who were offering treasures outside the Qianjin Terrace. The blue bricks paving the ground in front of the door were also smashed to pieces, stirring up clouds of dust!
The leading eunuch endured the severe pain between his eyebrows, helped Hong Chengfu and Tan Li up, and frantically called the coachman to go to the palace.
The dignitaries who came to the door to present treasures and the people in the city who came to watch the fun were all shocked. They had no idea what was going on inside.
Seeing the people who came to offer treasures in such a miserable state, they thought that the immortal was angry, and were frightened and stood there in silence.
Tu Zao knelt on the ground, glanced sideways at the door, and then raised his head slightly to look at the pavilion on the third floor.
Seeing the majestic faces of the four immortal kings, he quickly retracted his head.
Wen Yanzhao had already noticed Tu Zao's little trick and said with a faint smile:
"Tu, don't be so optimistic!"
"There's a murderer hiding in this Qianjintai. I didn't burn it down because you've been so kind to me! But that doesn't mean I won't kill you!"
When Tu Zao heard this, cold sweat instantly broke out on his shiny head. He kowtowed and begged for mercy:
"My Lord Immortal, you are very perceptive! Even if I had ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare to poison you!"
"If it was really me, Tu Zao, who poisoned it, it would surely not escape your scrutiny. Please, Immortal Lord, investigate..."
Wen Yanzhao waved his hand, signaling the other three to return to their rooms. He then jumped down from the high pavilion and pulled Tu Zao up by the collar.
"I know it's definitely not you who poisoned me, but you guys in the kitchen can't say for sure!"
"Those people who came were all sent by the old emperor. They must have bribed the people in the kitchen. Now, seal off the whole place inside and outside. No one is allowed to leave!"
Tu Zao was shaking like a sieve, and he didn't dare to look up at Wen Yanzhao. He just nodded and said, "As you say, I will do it right away. Don't worry, Immortal Lord, not even a fly can fly out of Qianjintai!"
Wen Yanzhao threw Tu Zao aside and leaped out of Qianjintai again. With the gathered energy in his feet, he only flew up a few dozen feet before stopping in mid-air.
Looking down at the hundreds of people outside Qianjintai, Wen Yanzhao slowly spread his arms, and a raging fire suddenly ignited behind him.
The blazing fire was so real and red that it seemed as if it had descended from the sky. The onlookers on the ground were so frightened that they fell to their knees and kowtowed for mercy.
Wen Yanzhao's expression remained unchanged, he still had a stern face and spoke word by word with his true energy:
"You mortals, don't panic. I never kill innocent people. All you need to do is mark the treasures you offer with the names and ages of the people who offered them, and place them in order in the lobby of Qianjintai!"
"As long as there are giant clams or items related to them, I will reward you according to the instructions!"
"If you have any clues about the person who poisoned me, and you can hand him over to me, I will also give you an extra reward!"
Everyone on the ground agreed and said:
"I will obey the immortal's orders!"
"We will offer our treasures right now and ask for mercy from the immortal!"
"Yes, Immortal Lord, calm down. We will go back and bring the treasure here!"
"..."
Wen Yanzhao folded his arms, and the raging fire behind him that he had conjured up with his internal energy slowly died down. Then, in front of everyone, his figure turned into a streak of red light and disappeared under the scorching sun.
