Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 354 Nonsensical Gibberish

"What consequences?"

Third Prince Li Shu's expression halted abruptly as he couldn't help but ask.

"Eternal Cold Iron and Nine Yin Silk are extremely yin and supple, and ordinary people can hardly bear the cold qi within, and this armor, although combining the advantages of both Heavenly Treasures Materials after mixing and refining, the cold qi contained within the forged Magical Treasure has also increased manifold. If you wear this armor for a long time, I am afraid that before a hundred years pass, the cold qi will invade you, causing your veins to freeze solid."

As Qinchuan said this, he shook his head slightly and glancing sideways at Li Shu, he continued to speak, "The consequence of veins freezing solid need not be further elaborated by this young master, right? How can you say you were not treacherously deceived?"

"You—"

"Nonsense!"

Li Shu's face changed several times after hearing Qinchuan's words, but then his eyes revealed a ferocious glare as a powerful wave of Badao True Qi swept out. He stood before everyone, clearly expressing disdain for Qinchuan's words.

"This prince has worn this armor into battle across the wilderness for more than ten years, saving me from danger numerous times, and now you've deceived my elder brother and you even try to beguile me into giving up a Holy Spirit Battle Weapon."

At this point, Li Shu's voice suddenly increased in volume, as he roared out, "Speak! What is your true motive for infiltrating the Tianyuan Royal Family?"

Several of the courtiers and princes close to the Third Prince started accusing as well.

"Eldest Prince, where did you find this fraudster, to dare curse the Third Prince's veins to freeze?"

"This youngster infiltrated our Tianyuan Nation undoubtedly with ill-intentions, Eldest Prince, you must expel him at once!"

"Yes, kick him out! How can we allow a charlatan from the jianghu to get involved in the royal family's contest?"

As the crowd grew more agitated, Li Zhi couldn't restrain himself any longer, stepped forward, and spoke with a smile, "Honorable Elders, my royal brother, although Qinchuan is but in the Meridian Opening Realm, his strength is not inferior to that of a Cultivator at the Nine Layers of Spirit Martial. Not only can I testify to this, but my Protector, Elder Chen, can also vouch for him." Read the latest on novelbuddy

Having said that, he directed his gaze toward Chen Baidao who stood not far away.

Hearing this, the courtiers, elders, and princes also looked in that direction, only to see Chen Baidao actually nodding in agreement.

Though Chen Baidao was the Eldest Prince's Protector, everyone knew when it concerned the grand righteousness of the Imperial Family, he would not be biased and would surely stick to the facts. Now that Chen Baidao agreed, it implied that the youngster indeed possessed some extraordinary strength, at least earning the recognition of Elder Chen of Great Saint standing.

At this point, the gaze of the people looking at Qinchuan began to change.

The Eldest Prince then continued to speak.

"As for you, my third brother, since Young Master Qin mentioned there is an issue with your armor, as your elder brother, I advise you to have it checked thoroughly before using it again."

"Qinchuan... that name sounds very familiar..."

The Third Prince was still mulling over the name Qinchuan that Li Zhi had mentioned at first, not having paid attention to what was said afterward.

"Right, Qinchuan, could you be the one who outshone Immortal Lady Bai three months ago, whose understanding of the Grand Dao surpassed that of Saints?"

At that moment, Third Prince Li Shu suddenly snapped to realization, remembering the event.

Three months before, Immortal Lady Bai had passed through Tianqing City to preach her teachings. At that time, he had been far away at the frontier and had not managed to return to attend the grand event.

But later, he heard that during the Sermon Assembly, a young man appeared out of nowhere, who not only showed no regard for Fairy Bai's dignity, but repeatedly spoke against her. In the end, he even imparted his knowledge of the Great Dao, into which even Fairy Bai herself submerged.

Although only the Saint Heirs and elites of various sects and sanctuaries attended the Sermon Assembly that day, and ordinary people did not receive the news, this matter caused quite a stir in high society. Even he, far away at the frontier, had heard the name Qinchuan, and he had learned that ultimately, the Eldest Prince had invited Qinchuan into the Exquisite Pavilion for a pleasant conversation.

Afterward, he had also tried several times to find this legendary deity who had outshone Fairy Bai, wanting to see if he was truly as miraculous as the rumors claimed.

But at this time, Qinchuan had suddenly disappeared from Tianqing City.

This person was like a ghost or specter, appearing out of nowhere and disappearing just as suddenly, and gradually he was forgotten from one's mind.

At this moment, seeing that Qinchuan was merely a Cultivator in the Meridian Opening Realm, he did not immediately connect him with the person who had overpowered Fairy Bai.

The Eldest Prince nodded and said, "Indeed, Young Master Qin preached at the assembly three months ago, and Elder Chen can attest to this."

As everyone looked towards Chen Baidao again, they saw Chen Baidao nodding again without any fuss, prompting the crowd to finally become somewhat stirred.

"It was actually him!"

The Third Prince's expression changed drastically, and Qinchuan could clearly see the doubt, shock, perplexity, and a hint of wariness in his face. How could he not understand what was going through his mind?

"The Third Prince is wholeheartedly devoted to the nation, rallying the military's spirit, achieving consecutive victories in the frontier lands, accumulating glorious battle achievements, and causing the enemy nations to worry about the Third Prince's rise. Given the Third Prince's forthright nature, trusting those he employs and shunning the doubtful, it is inevitable that opportunistic people would take advantage of him."

What Qinchuan said was indeed true; the Third Prince's temperament was not as cautious as the Eldest Prince's. He was generous but also somewhat impulsive. However, Qinchuan had also heard of the Third Prince's military accomplishments, which is why he spoke as he did.

The Third Prince, hearing such high praise from Qinchuan, immediately changed his opinion of the young man, finding him much more agreeable in an instant.

Qinchuan continued, "Since the Third Prince has worn this armor for over ten years, it is likely that some side effects have begun to manifest. Do you often feel an unbearable sourness and swelling in your Taiyin Bloodline, sometimes as if ice pierces the bone, causing bursts of heart-wrenching pain?"

No sooner had Qinchuan finished speaking than the Third Prince's face drastically changed.

"You… you… how did you know?"

But he quickly realized, "Could it be that what Young Master Qin just said is all true?"

Indeed, this year the Third Prince had often experienced the very symptoms Qinchuan had described. At first, he thought it was due to excessive cultivation, a disruption in the flow of True Qi, so he had not taken it seriously. But recently, his Taiyin Bloodline acted up on the battlefield, nearly causing a critical blunder.

Only then did he seize the opportunity to request leave, returning to Tianqing City to seek treatment from Pharmacists.

However, he searched throughout Tianqing City for Pharmacists and Alchemists, and even consulted many deities, but they all told him that his True Qi was circulating normally, and he had not gone berserk with cultivation.

Now, suddenly hearing Qinchuan pinpoint the symptoms, and even attributing them to the armor he wore day and night, how could he not be shocked?

"Whether what this young master has said is true or false, the Third Prince has already come to a conclusion, haven't you? As for the accuracy of that conclusion, why not just ask any Artifact Refiner after you return to the city?"

At this point, Li Shu could no longer hold back, his face fluctuating between flushed red like a furnace and deathly pale.

After a long moment, he made a move, and he removed the Holy Spirit Armor from his body.

Just at that moment, another voice suddenly rang out from another high platform.
