Chapter 751: The Appearance of a Mysterious Expert

He had not expected that the people he had provoked would possess so many experts.

"Emperor of Han, spare my life! I am willing to surrender!"

The Seven-Star Stronghold Master’s exclamation rang out.

Sweat was even streaming down his forehead.

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng paid him no mind.

He spoke directly in a commanding tone.

"Take him!"

Following this, the soldiers surged forward.

Although these men were merely ordinary elites, their combat strength was not weak.

Especially those fierce soldiers.

With a single slash of their blades, several stronghold masters fell.

In a short span of time, they had bound the Seven-Star Stronghold Master.

At this moment, he was trembling all over.

A look of terror appeared in his eyes.

He never imagined that he would encounter such an expert.

Just then, a dull thudding sound rang out.

It was Zhao Xing, who had actually regained consciousness.

At this moment, he looked at Liu Zheng with a look of gratitude in his eyes.

If not for the other party, he would have long since been killed by those bandits.

"Many thanks to you, Young Master, for saving me!"

His voice was filled with respect.

"It is nothing. You may stay by my side for the time being.

We shall make plans after returning to the Great Han!"

Liu Zheng said indifferently.

Afterward, he headed toward the exit of the valley.

Now, this Zhao Xing could be considered one of his own.

However, just as he was preparing to leave.

A figure slowly walked out.

Her footsteps were very light, yet every step she took seemed to land on the void itself.

Everyone who saw this scene wore a look of shock on their faces.

"What a beautiful woman!"

Liu Zheng could not help but remark.

This young girl had a tall figure, and her skin was as white and crystalline as if carved from mutton-fat jade.

It made one reluctant to look away.

Moreover, the most peculiar thing was that there was actually a tail behind her.

It appeared charming and alluring.

And just after his words had fallen.

A flash of cunning appeared in the young girl's eyes.

She then spoke up.

"Your Majesty, Emperor of Han, do you think I am beautiful? How about you marry me?

Don't worry, I won't interfere with your harem affairs. If you need, I can even warm your bed for you."

The young girl said with a coquettish laugh.

However, upon hearing this, a look of gravity appeared in Liu Zheng’s eyes.

He knew he had to leave.

Otherwise, he feared his life might be in danger.

That Empress from before had coveted his beauty and wanted to possess his body.

As a result, she suffered a backlash and died.

Even now, he still carried the scent of that Empress on him.

And just at this moment.

Zhao Xing shouted angrily.

"Little sister, run! You cannot provoke this person.

He is not someone we can afford to offend!"

His voice was filled with anxiety.

However, the little girl was not afraid in the slightest.

Instead, she stared at Liu Zheng.

She continued.

"Emperor of Han, tell me, how about marrying me?

I am a peerless beauty; would you really abandon me?"

Her voice carried a hint of coquetry.

Yet, it only made her more pitiable.

And at the same time.

A woman in black walked out from behind Liu Zheng.

"Master, I will go and capture her alive.

I guarantee I will not harm her!"

Hearing this, Liu Zheng nodded, not refusing.

After all, this young girl was indeed very cute.

However, Zhao Xing was terrified at this moment.

His sister actually dared to threaten the Emperor of Han.

This made his heart pound wildly.

But just then.

The woman in black had already charged out.

A sharp, piercing cry erupted from her mouth.

In an instant, she attacked the young girl.

At this moment, anyone could see that the woman in black intended to kill.

However, just as the young girl was about to be killed.

She grabbed the woman’s arm with one hand.

Then, a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

With a single exertion of force, she tore off the woman in black's wrist.

The intense pain caused the woman to let out an angry roar.

The surrounding guards were even more shocked.

They had never seen such a fierce girl before.

Just as they were stunned.

The young girl moved again.

She struck out with a palm, slamming fiercely into the ranks of the guards.

In an instant, blood splattered.

Screams rang out as soldiers were flipped onto the ground one by one.

The scene was in complete disarray.

"Hmph!"

Afterward, he looked toward where the woman had been.

She had already vanished without a trace.

"Your Majesty, Emperor of Han, there is a hidden compartment here; she has escaped!"

Just then, Zhao Xing pointed at the ground and said.

A secret chamber was hidden behind the trapdoor.

Liu Zheng frowned; he felt that this matter was not that simple.

This Seven-Kill Stronghold must have had some connection to this trapdoor.

Otherwise, how would the other party have known of the existence of this secret chamber?

And while he was deep in thought.

A look of excitement appeared in Zhao Xing’s eyes.

This secret chamber was the place his father liked to stay most during his lifetime.

Aside from him, no one else had ever entered it.

Moreover, this was also his greatest reliance.

If this secret chamber were exposed.

Then his days would truly be without hope.

Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

He immediately said.

"Your Majesty, Emperor of Han, please follow me. This is my father’s greatest treasure; there must be good things inside!"

After his words fell, he ran inside.

His speed was extremely fast.

Seeing such a scene, Liu Zheng naturally would not stand on ceremony.

He followed behind and swept forward rapidly.

When they entered the secret chamber.

What met their eyes was a massive alchemy cauldron.

The patterns on it were incredibly clear.

And just at this moment.

Zhao Xing stood beside the furnace cauldron.

He said to Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, Emperor of Han, do you think this cauldron suits you? My Zhao family can be considered a great clan of artifact refiners.

If Your Majesty can subdue this cauldron, you will surely benefit infinitely in the future. Look!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the cauldron and began to introduce it.

However, upon hearing this, a smile appeared at the corner of Liu Zheng’s mouth.

He said slowly.

"Haha, so you want Me to help you refine magic treasures? I agree!"

The voice rang out, causing Zhao Xing’s expression to change.

He had not expected the other party to be so straightforward.

But now, it was too late to say anything.

However, just at this moment, Liu Zheng spoke:

"However, you must first find an alchemist for Me!"

After saying this, he signaled for Zhao Xing to take out the cauldron.

Hearing this, Zhao Xing dared not delay and quickly took out the key.

After opening the furnace, he discovered two golden pills inside.

One of them emitted a rich fragrance.

The other, while slightly inferior, was still stunning enough.

"Emperor of Han, this is the Nine-Turn Returning Yang Pill refined by my Zhao family.

Consuming one can increase one’s cultivation by a hundred years, or even longer. Would you like to try one?"

At this moment, Zhao Xing’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

But Liu Zheng shook his head and said.

"My current cultivation has already improved too much; this pill should be left for others!"

He did not hesitate in the slightest and directly declined.

After all, this was the Nine-Turn Returning Yang Pill.

Even an expert at the Heavenly Immortal realm would see effects after consuming it.

If it were at any other time, Liu Zheng would certainly have been willing to give it a try.
