Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

However, Xu Lei didn’t wait for Young Master Zhao’s explanation.

He immediately channeled his Magical Power.

The Lotus Treasure Fragments flew out.

Then Xu Lei burst from the carriage.

He leaped onto the Lotus Treasure Fragments and soared into the sky.

He had also removed his hat.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Xu Lei’s voice boomed, "All Personal Guards, listen well!

I am an Enlightened Monk!

You have all been deceived!

The Fourteenth Prince’s Consort is a Demon!

You were compelled to come here!

If I am not mistaken!

She must have issued a false order in the Prince’s name!

You never saw a conscious Prince give you this command with your own eyes, did you?"

As he spoke.

Xu Lei rose into the air, his feet planted on the Lotus Treasure Fragments.

He soon arrived above one side of the valley.

He landed, standing in the wind on the valley’s edge.

At the same time, the masked, black-clad men on both sides of the valley stared with wide, disbelieving eyes.

It was true—they had heard the Fourteenth Prince’s command from behind a curtain.

He had ordered them to execute the Princess Consort and elevate the Consort to her position!

Furthermore, if Young Master Zhao was present, he was to be killed as well!

The men had all been stunned upon hearing this command.

But an order was an order, and they had no choice but to obey.

However, these orders had all been issued by the Demon Consort, who had incapacitated the Fourteenth Prince and mimicked his voice.

She had no idea that the Fourteenth Prince’s Personal Guards and those of Young Master Zhao were all former comrades-in-arms.

That was why they couldn’t bring themselves to strike a lethal blow.

They had deliberately missed their shots!

Only after giving a warning!

Did they push down the boulders!

They had to obey the order, but they carried it out half-heartedly.

Realizing that they had been ambushed yet not a single guard had died, Xu Lei had been able to deduce all of this.

The Demon Consort had indeed discovered that Xu Lei was a Cultivator.

That’s why she felt it was no longer safe.

But she hadn’t chosen to just sneak away.

Instead, she wanted to use the Fourteenth Prince’s Government Soldiers to kill Xu Lei.

She also intended to kill the Fourteenth Princess Consort while she was at it!

Whatever amount of Xu Lei’s Magical Power these Government Soldiers could deplete would be a bonus.

It would also be a way to test Xu Lei’s strength.

"What? He flew up there!"

"How is that possible?"

Just then, the Fourteenth Princess Consort and her maidservant also emerged from the carriage, watching in shock as Xu Lei flew up to the top of the valley.

Their world spun, and their pupils constricted in shock.

The surrounding guards, watching this unfold and hearing Xu Lei’s words, felt their entire worldview starting to crumble.

’Demons actually exist!’

’And the Fourteenth Prince’s Consort is one of them!’

And now, standing there at the very edge of the mountaintop!

...was that dashing, handsome young Monk, his robes fluttering in the wind!

He was actually a true Enlightened Monk, the kind they had only ever heard about in myths and legends!

This included the Fourteenth Prince’s Government Soldiers on both sides of the valley.

They too stared at Xu Lei, shocked and bewildered.

"Amitabha Buddha."

But Xu Lei wasn’t looking at the mortals. His gaze was fixed on a spot not far in the distance. "Demon, since you’ve already come!

You wanted to turn the tables and hunt me!

Why not show yourself?!

Are you afraid?"

"You worthless dogs!"

Just then, a cold voice drifted out from a dense patch of forest nearby. "To think you would feign compliance while secretly disobeying my orders!

What kind of soldiers are you!

What kind of Personal Guards!

Little Monk, I’ll give it to you—you’re good!

I won’t waste my time with you today!

But you’ve ruined my plans!

I’ll remember this!"

With that said.

The Demoness swiftly fled.

Although she had wanted to turn the tables and hunt Xu Lei.

Now all the soldiers were on Xu Lei’s side.

She was unwilling to make a move.

Thus, she chose to retreat.

Xu Lei said nothing.

Nor did he give chase to the Demoness.

It was possible, after all, that the Demoness was deliberately trying to lure him away.

She might be trying to separate Xu Lei from the soldiers before striking.

This Demon was not like the Spirit Monsters Xu Lei had encountered in the past.

He had read about those in ancient texts and had some understanding of them.

He could roughly gauge their strength, which was why he had always acted decisively.

Back when he dealt with Qi Yang, it was only because Qi Yang had already been gravely wounded by the Phoenix.

The situation with this Demon Consort was completely different.

She had even intended to turn the tables and hunt Xu Lei.

This meant she was likely quite confident in her own power.

A few minutes later.

Xu Lei naturally descended from the top of the valley.

He regrouped with Young Master Zhao, the Fourteenth Princess Consort, and the others.

The men who had been lying in ambush on both sides of the valley also came down to join them.

After a brief discussion.

The group once again headed back toward the Fourteenth Prince’s manor.

After all, half of the men present were the Fourteenth Prince’s Personal Guards.

Young Master Zhao and the Fourteenth Princess Consort were also deeply concerned about the Fourteenth Prince.

Xu Lei didn’t feel it was right to separate from them and enter the city alone.

If he did, the Demon Consort might reappear to intercept and assassinate him.

But by staying with this large contingent of Personal Guards.

The Demon Consort probably wouldn’t dare to show herself.

After all, under these circumstances, if she wanted to fight Xu Lei, she would first have to exhaust herself by killing this large group of soldiers.

Besides, Xu Lei also wanted to go back and check on the Fourteenth Prince.

After all, the Fourteenth Prince’s consort had fled.

This incident was, to a certain extent, related to Xu Lei’s arrival.

Xu Lei didn’t want to create bad blood with the Fourteenth Prince.

He didn’t want the prince to grow to hate his identity as Hui Tan.

After some time spent traveling.

The group returned to the manor.

Sure enough, inside the manor, the Fourteenth Prince was unconscious.

"His Highness was not rendered unconscious by a Demon Technique."

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Xu Lei stepped forward to examine the Fourteenth Prince’s condition, then said, "He was drugged."

Everyone was surprised.

They had assumed the Fourteenth Prince had been knocked out by the Demon Consort’s Demonic Qi.

But if a physical method could achieve the same goal, the Demon Consort naturally wouldn’t waste her Demonic Power.
