Eternal Life as False Emperor-Chapter 91 - 67: You Are Not the Emperor!

"Oh? Immortal Techniques?"

Zheng Yi’s expression shifted slightly as he sized up the person before him.

Yet the doubt in his expression grew thicker.

Is Immortal Techniques supposed to be like this?

Or perhaps, Witchcraft?

And why does this person’s name seem so familiar?

Witchcraft Gu?

Zheng Yi immediately said, "I am indeed somewhat interested in your Immortal Techniques, Grandmaster. If this is true, then I will pardon your offense."

"Furthermore, I can reward you with prosperity and wealth!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhai Fang rose and said, "Your Majesty, this humble commoner is adept in life-preserving arts and the Spiritual Insect Manipulation Technique. Please watch!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhai Fang patted the gourd on his waist, and a small white-blue insect crawled out, secreting a bit of mucus, which released a faint fragrance in the air.

"This is the Fragrant Gu, which emits a faint aroma and has medicinal properties. Placing it on the body can fill the surrounding three meters with a fragrant scent, while also strengthening the body."

He gave a shake, and another insect, entirely black and red like a shell, crawled out.

"Your Majesty, behold, this is the Frenzy Gu."

"Ingesting it allows a martial artist to temporarily unleash three times their power, effective even for those below the First-grade Realm."

Zhai Fang continued, "Taking this Frenzy Gu, even a First-grade Martial Artist can confront a Grandmaster Realm Martial Artist for a short time!"

As soon as he spoke, Zheng Yi’s gaze finally shifted.

Frenzy Gu?

Enhancing a First-grade Martial Artist’s power threefold?

If this Gu could spread within the Great Yu Army...

Yet another insect crawled out, shaped like a small snake, extremely swift.

"This is the Longevity Gu, which can extend a person’s lifespan."

Zhai Fang’s tone suddenly turned enticing: "Consuming one Longevity Gu can add a year to one’s life. Ten Longevity Gu means ten extra years!"

"Extend life?!"

Now Zheng Yi’s eyes brightened even more—could it really extend life?

Is it true?

"Can this insect truly extend life?"

The Empress Dowager asked in a low voice beside him, her eyes full of longing.

"Absolutely true!"

Zhai Fang continued, "This real master accidentally obtained an Immortal Secret Technique and refined the Longevity Gu through special means, in total thirteen of them."

"Gu is the essence of heaven and earth, granted only to the most noble in this world."

"This insect is specially prepared by this real master for Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager!"

"Longevity Gu?"

Zheng Yi asked, "How can I know if your Longevity Gu is real? If it’s a harmful Gu insect..."

"How dare Your Majesty doubt this real master?"

Zhai Fang countered angrily, "This real master possesses immortal techniques, a destiny ordained by heaven. Your Majesty, please..."

Zheng Yi was unwilling to haggle with him further, and immediately called, "Guards!"

"Present!"

Four Imperial Guards charged in, selected by Chen Hongxiu and Zhao Tieshan to protect the Emperor when they weren’t around.

All were at the Second-grade Martial Artist Realm.

"If real master isn’t willing to display Immortal Techniques, then don’t blame me for being discourteous. Take him down!"

As he finished speaking, the four Imperial Guards drew their long swords, surrounding Zhai Fang.

"Heh heh heh... Your Majesty, mere mortals dare to raise swords against this real master?"

"Watch my Celestial Fire Technique!"

He swiftly retreated, opening his mouth wide as a small insect flew in.

Taking a deep breath, he fiercely exhaled in the direction of the oncoming Embroidered Uniform Guards.

"Whoosh!"

Instantly, he spat out a scorching flame, the leading Imperial Guard instinctively dodging to the side.

With a ’boom’, the flame crashed into the Eight Immortals table at the center of the bedchamber, sending it flying.

"Your Majesty, how do you find it? This is my..."

"What Celestial Fire Technique, it’s just the Blazing Fire Gu from Nanyue!"

The leading Imperial Guard shouted angrily, twisting his body to pounce again.

Zhai Fang’s face shifted slightly; someone had recognized it, and his eyes turned cold.

"Stubborn and ignorant, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

As he finished speaking, a small black snake suddenly emerged from his collar, opening its mouth fiercely at the Imperial Guards, letting out a hiss.

"Hiss~!"

The next moment, the four Imperial Guards halted suddenly, instinctively clutching their heads, barely enduring the dizziness.

"Startling Snake!"

The leading Imperial Guard bit his tongue tip sharply, the piercing pain awakening him, striding forward, muttering quietly, and slashing at Zhai Fang.

"Spurt!"

Zhai Fang retreated explosively, but his wide garments were cut open, revealing a skinny, awkward body.

The small snake on his chest was also sliced in half.

The several who were panicked and dizzy quickly regained their senses.

The Empress Dowager panicked, "Emperor, order them to stop. Grandmaster Zhai Fang is here to treat my ailments."

"I see Mother is healthy and well; what ailments?"

Zheng Yi said coldly, "Moreover, this person is just a fraud parading Nanyue Gu insects, not worth keeping."

"Slay him!"

"Yes!"

"You dare court death!"

By now, Zhai Fang was furious, clapping his hands as a black insect like a pill bug flew from his bosom, landing in his hand.

"I didn’t want to use this Gu, but you are so impolite, don’t blame me!"

"Dragon and Snake Gu, come forth!"

"Zhi~!"

The Gu in his hand let out a series of screeches, prompting everyone to pause and scrutinize carefully, wary of any mishap.

But strangely enough, nothing changed for anyone, not even Zhai Fang.

Only the so-called ’Dragon and Snake Gu’ in his hand started spinning, emitting a weird shriek.

"What?!"

"There are no Child Snake Gu here?"
