Chapter 148: Mysterious Cloud Mountain Yields, Preparing to Attack Zhao!

"Xueping, why have you come?"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Guo Xueping bowed respectfully.

On her way here, she had heard Lv Ke spouting nonsense from far away.

Feeling indignant, she immediately wanted to open the eyes of this arrogant fellow.

"Who are you, to dare trespass here?"

"She is my personal maid; what fault is there in her coming here?"

Shen Lingwei shielded her own immediately.

You dare to question my people?

"Shen Lingwei, let us continue our previous bet; if no one provides an Eight-Grade Yangyuan Huichun Pill within three months, you must submit to me, otherwise!"

"No 'otherwise' needed, a sovereign's word is final!"

"Good, it is a deal!"

Lv Ke looked at Zhou Fuli, "Master, let us go!"

"Hmm!"

Zhou Fuli responded and prepared to leave.

"Why are you in such a rush to leave? Could it be you want to break the agreement?"

"What do you mean?"

Lv Ke rebuked Guo Xueping angrily.

When he first entered, this woman had not given him a good look, and now she was actually following him out to stir up trouble.

Did she really think that just because she was Shen Lingwei's personal maid, he could do nothing to her?

"Didn't you just say that if His Majesty finds an Eight-Grade Yangyuan Huichun Pill within three months, you would voluntarily withdraw the marriage proposal and serve Great Wei? Is that so, or not?"

"Of course, this young master's word is as good as gold!"

"Good, then you can fulfill the agreement now!"

"What?"

Everyone's gaze focused on Guo Xueping at this moment.

"What do you mean?" Lv Ke asked hurriedly.

Guo Xueping completely ignored Lv Ke's questioning and immediately took out a box, then handed it to Shen Lingwei.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Champion Marquis specifically ordered someone to deliver an Eight-Grade Yangyuan Huichun Pill as an offering to Your Majesty!"

Boom!

A thunderclap exploded.

Everyone fell into silence at this moment, their gazes subconsciously looking toward the box in Guo Xueping's hand.

"Re... really?"

Shen Lingwei felt somewhat incredulous.

She had just been suffering from a headache over finding an Eight-Grade Yangyuan Huichun Pill.

Who would have thought that the very next moment, someone would help her solve it.

With a nervous heart, she slowly opened the box in her hand.

Of course, she was not afraid of Zhou Fuli fighting for it here, as her grand-uncle was waiting right beside her.

Shen Tang also subconsciously leaned toward Shen Lingwei.

This matter was of great importance and could not have the slightest error.

Once the box in her hand was opened, a crystal-clear medicine bottle appeared inside.

She opened the stopper of the medicine bottle.

A strange fragrance instantly lingered throughout the palace.

"No, impossible, this is not an Eight-Grade Yangyuan Huichun Pill at all, it must be something you randomly made up to fake it!"

Lv Ke insisted that this Pill was fake.

He did not believe that Great Wei could obtain such a Pill that even they could not get their hands on.

"Hmph, stop showing off your meager intelligence here; our Great Wei is not that despicable, and we are not sore losers!"

"You..."

Lv Ke was enraged.

Guo Xueping's words were clearly pointing at him.

She might as well have exposed his identity card.

"Master, this must be fake, they are playing dirty!"

"No, this is real!"

"What?"

Lv Ke did not expect that even his master would believe the Pill in the other party's hand was real.

Indeed!

Zhou Fuli was different from Lv Ke; as a high-level figure of a faction, he still possessed that bit of discernment.

This Pill was indeed an Eight-Grade Yangyuan Huichun Pill.

And judging by the scent, this Eighth Grade Pill was of supreme quality.

A supreme quality Eight-Grade Yangyuan Huichun Pill.

What level of Alchemist could refine such a thing?

Looking at the Pill in her hand, Shen Lingwei felt deeply moved; if not for the many people around, she would have been moved to tears.

"Chu Lang, I never expected that even separated by such a distance, you are still sharing my burdens and relieving my worries. I truly do not know how to repay you!"

Forcing herself to suppress the agitation in her heart, Shen Lingwei asked again: "Xueping, where did the Champion Marquis get this Pill?"

Thinking that to obtain such a Pill, Chu Lang must have gone to great lengths, perhaps even incurring a massive favor.

Shen Lingwei said to herself.

She had once learned that Chu Feng had dealings with people from the Heaven Sect, so she figured it must have been the Heaven Sect that provided this Pill to Chu Feng.

But the words Guo Xueping said next directly denied this thought of hers.

"Your Majesty, according to the soldiers who transported the Pill, this Pill was refined by the Champion Marquis himself!"

"What? He refined it himself?"

"Yes, that is exactly what the soldiers said!"

After finishing, Guo Xueping even looked proudly toward Lv Ke and the others.

This was to show that this Pill came from the hands of their Great Wei Champion Marquis.

Now that they had such a heaven-defying expert on their side, a mere Xuan Yun Mountain was not qualified to boss them around in front of Great Wei.

"Lv Ke, I do not intend to hide it from you anymore; my husband is precisely this Champion Marquis!"

Boom!

Now it was the turn of Zhou Fuli and Lv Ke's side to be shocked.

No wonder they were determined to break off the engagement; it turns out they had a better partner on their side.

The Champion Marquis of Great Wei, an Eight-Grade Alchemist.

Setting aside the strength of this Champion Marquis, just this Eight-Grade Alchemist title alone was enough to make them look up in awe.

Alchemists generally appeared in Dao Sect forces.

Ordinary Alchemists were very common, and any large force would possess them.

But high-level Alchemists had always been monopolized by Dao Sect forces.

Trying to beg them to refine a single Pill was harder than ascending to heaven.

Coincidentally, their Xuan Yun Mountain was in urgent need of an Eight-Grade Alchemist to refine a Pill for them.

But they suffered from having no connections.

Seeing that there was an Eight-Grade Alchemist right here in Great Wei, Lv Ke knelt down on the spot without the slightest hesitation.

"Her Imperial Majesty, Lv Ke was very offensive just now, may I ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness?"

"Hm?"

Shen Lingwei felt puzzled.

Why did Lv Ke's temperament suddenly change?

"Why are you doing this?"

"Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, my father is currently suffering from the ravages of a Witchcraft curse; if there is no Eight-Grade Soul-Cleansing Curse-Removing Pill, my father's life will be in danger!

Lv Ke has no way to repay you, but if Your Majesty can let Lord Champion Marquis take action to save my father, Lv Ke is willing to be a beast of burden for you!"

"Child!"

Zhou Fuli said with some unbearable sympathy.

He had watched Lv Ke grow up since he was a child.

He was naturally a person who would rather break than bend, but to save his father, he was willing to lower his proud head.

Compared to his father's life, what did dignity or a marriage contract matter?

As long as he could save a life, he, Lv Ke, was willing to pay any price.

"This..."

Shen Lingwei also revealed a look of difficulty.

She knew that it was her side that broke the agreement first, and if she could provide compensation, she was willing to pay it.

But, she truly could not make the decision on this matter.

"To tell you the truth, I cannot make decisions for the Champion Marquis either. I can only explain the situation to you; whether you can move him depends on your own performance."

"Many thanks, Your Majesty!"

Shen Lingwei swiftly issued an imperial decree.

She agreed to Chu Feng's request to attack Great Zhao, and immediately wrote a letter herself to hand to Lv Ke.

Lv Ke expressed his gratitude to Shen Lingwei once more, then rushed toward the Fanzhou front line without stopping.

Shen Lingwei stood outside the palace gate, gazing into the distance.

"Chu Lang, the shock you have brought me is truly too intense. I really hope you can return quickly; I want to give myself to you completely!"

At the same time.

The people from the Tiangang Sect had already arrived in Great Zhao.

After meeting with Zhao Ji, they immediately rushed to Pengguan to stand guard.

Chu Feng had also made full preparations on his side.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were eager and ready, just waiting for Chu Feng's order to launch an attack on the enemy.

The Battle of Pengguan was about to begin.
