The Prime Minister is a bit out of it right now.
He doesn't know if Xu Fengqiu genuinely can't undo the poison or is just pretending.
But based on the current situation, it seems he might be sacrificed?
Wait…
Aren't you guys supposed to be dealing with Xu Fengqiu?
Why is it that I'm the one about to die?
The Celestial Profound Emperor narrowed his eyes, staring at Xu Fengqiu.
He felt that Xu Fengqiu was deliberately killing the Prime Minister in front of everyone, including him, the Celestial Profound Emperor.
However, what Xu Fengqiu said was indeed valid.
Oh, you gave him a poison pill without an antidote, and Xu Fengqiu's poison pill also has no antidote. Isn't that reasonable?
Moreover, Xu Fengqiu did say before that his poison pill was intended for someone at least at the ninth rank of the Immortal Emperor realm.
It seems Xu Fengqiu isn't at fault either.
Xu Fengqiu shook his head, holding the Celestial Poison Pearl in his palm, and said to the crowd, "Everyone has seen it. Even this spiritual artifact of mine almost failed to absorb the poison within me. I also expended a great deal of effort and walked on the edge of death to succeed."
"Even with the poison in my own body, I almost failed. How much chance do you think there is of success with the poison in the Prime Minister's body?"
"Besides, this is my own poison. I am the most clear about its toxicity and whether it can be successfully neutralized."
Xu Fengqiu then looked at the Celestial Profound Emperor and said, "I previously reminded Your Majesty several times that this poison can only be taken by someone at least at the ninth rank of the Immortal Emperor realm, but Your Majesty didn't take it seriously. I thought the Prime Minister or Your Majesty had some hidden means, so I agreed."
Celestial Profound Emperor: "…"
You're going to poison the Prime Minister to death in front of everyone.
And this has turned into his, the Celestial Profound Emperor's, fault?
"Try it, Sect Master Xu, try it."
The Celestial Profound Emperor said unwillingly.
"Alright, then I'll give it a try."
Subsequently, Xu Fengqiu activated the Celestial Poison Pearl, sending it towards the Prime Minister, who was already somewhat delirious.
The Celestial Poison Pearl slowly rotated in front of the Prime Minister.
The Celestial Poison Pearl was also slowly absorbing the poison within the Prime Minister's body.
Visibly, the Prime Minister's complexion gradually began to return to normal.
But…
Suddenly…
It was as if all strength had been released.
A burst of power erupted.
The Celestial Poison Pearl flew back to Xu Fengqiu.
And the Prime Minister not only returned to his previous state but became even more severe.
Xu Fengqiu slightly shook his head: "It won't work; it really can't be done."
Crack, crack, crack—
The Celestial Profound Emperor clenched his fists.
What a Xu Fengqiu!
You're playing mind games with him, aren't you?
Don't think he can't see it!
Fine!
Fine, fine, fine!
Then he will use the Prime Minister's life to exchange for your, Xu Fengqiu's, life today!
He doesn't lose out!
"Prime Minister!"
The Celestial Profound Emperor then began to feign concern in front of the Prime Minister.
"Prime Minister, it was this Emperor's mistake! This Emperor didn't expect it to be like this! Prime Minister!"
Thump—
The Prime Minister fell down, completely losing consciousness.
"Someone!"
The Celestial Profound Emperor shouted.
"Take the Prime Minister away and give him a quick death!"
"Yes!"
The Prime Minister was taken away.
Inside the main hall, the atmosphere had also dropped to freezing point.
They didn't know if Xu Fengqiu was doing it on purpose or if it was really as he said.
But they basically all believed that Xu Fengqiu was doing it deliberately.
He knew what the Celestial Profound Emperor wanted to do.
So he, in turn, poisoned the Prime Minister in front of the Celestial Profound Emperor.
They even suspected that Xu Fengqiu's poisoning earlier, when he almost couldn't hold on, was just an act.
The current situation is that they wanted to kill Xu Fengqiu, but Xu Fengqiu turned around and killed the Prime Minister.
Xu Fengqiu said, "I also didn't expect this kind of accident, Your Majesty. So, what should we do now?"
The Celestial Profound Emperor took a sip of wine and said, "Since it was an accident, it was something that no one could have anticipated. We can only say that the Prime Minister was perhaps destined to have this calamity."
Damn it!
The Celestial Profound Emperor was furious.
Xu Fengqiu nodded: "It's just a bit of a pity, after all, he was the Prime Minister of the Celestial Profound Empire."
"It's alright."
The Celestial Profound Emperor glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone has seen it. It was actually an unexpected accident that everyone didn't foresee. This Emperor has responsibility, and everyone has responsibility."
Everyone also nodded.
This is not important now.
It was simply the first game, and the Celestial Profound Emperor suffered a crushing defeat.
But the one who is actually suffering now is Mo Wenfeng.
This Sect Master of the Divine Machine Gate.
This banquet of his is equivalent to directly opposing Xu Fengqiu, openly becoming his opponent.
If the Celestial Profound Emperor can't kill Xu Fengqiu today.
Then his pressure will really be quite great.
Although he is a God-level force, this is Xu Fengqiu after all.
"Everyone, please continue drinking. This Emperor will go see the Prime Minister."
Mo Wenfeng stood up: "This Sect Master will also go take a look. This matter originated with this Sect Master, so this Sect Master is also to blame."
Subsequently, the two of them walked out.
Xu Fengqiu smiled slightly in his heart, then leisurely took a sip of wine.
The others exchanged a few words with Xu Fengqiu.
And outside.
The Celestial Profound Emperor's expression was furious, even becoming difficult to restrain.
Mo Wenfeng walked to his side.
"This Xu Fengqiu, he is obviously pretending to be ignorant, his original purpose was to kill the Prime Minister and give Your Majesty a show of force."
Mo Wenfeng said.
"This Emperor can see that."
Mo Wenfeng: "But he is also very clever. Some of the things he said before don't seem to have any flaws."
The Celestial Profound Emperor nodded.
Yes.
He had personally said that the eighth rank of the Immortal Emperor realm wouldn't work, it had to be at least the ninth rank.
It was he, the Celestial Profound Emperor, who didn't believe what Xu Fengqiu said and insisted on letting the Prime Minister try.
So, in the final analysis, this matter might not be Xu Fengqiu's fault, but rather that he, the Celestial Profound Emperor, killed the Prime Minister.
"Your Majesty, although this layer of window paper hasn't been pierced, it is already in name only. He, Xu Fengqiu, is also completely certain of our intentions for this banquet, so…"
The Celestial Profound Emperor: "Since this layer of window paper hasn't been pierced, then don't pierce it. If it's not pierced, he, Xu Fengqiu, can take more of this Emperor's moves. This Emperor will see how many moves he, Xu Fengqiu, can take. Tonight, this Emperor will definitely make him, Xu Fengqiu, stay within this Imperial Palace forever."
"Your Majesty, then next…"
The Celestial Profound Emperor said, "This Emperor doesn't want to dally with him, Xu Fengqiu, any longer."
"Then Your Majesty's meaning is… planning to directly carry out the final step?"
"Yes, what is Sect Master Mo's opinion?"
Mo Wenfeng said, "This Sect Master also thinks it's possible, but I'm afraid that he, Xu Fengqiu, won't go to that place. He definitely knows that that place is a dead end. If he is even slightly cautious, I'm afraid he will find a reason to refuse."
"Then it will require the cooperation of Sect Master Mo and the others in the main hall."
"Yes, this Sect Master will try."
The Celestial Profound Emperor narrowed his eyes: "As long as he, Xu Fengqiu, goes, then this Emperor will let him die there!"
