Chapter 270: Chapter 200: I’m Happy to Help You i

After Lu Chen had absorbed all of Su Teng’s skill, Su Teng, having lost his power, could no longer endure the pain of his injuries and passed out from the agony once again.

At this moment, Lu Chen’s gaze fell upon the Grandmaster who had just surrendered. Seeing Lu Chen looking at him, the Grandmaster hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, “Prince, please spare my life, I confess everything. It was all orchestrated by the Wang Family. I was just forcibly brought to North Country by Su Teng, I never wanted to assassinate you.”

The scene just now was terrifying: Su Teng, an Extreme Realm Master, had his entire skill drained by Lu Chen. The Grandmaster kneeling on the ground was afraid he would be the next one.

If he lost his skill, he would be nothing but an ordinary person. To the North Prince, a surrendered ordinary person was even more useless, which meant his death was undoubtedly imminent. Therefore, the first thing he had to do was ensure the North Prince would not absorb his skill.

Seeing the Grandmaster knocking his head on the ground frantically, Qin Yushan approached Lu Chen and whispered, “Prince, this man holds a high position in the Spirit Martial Tower. If we could control him, we might be able to control the entire Spirit Martial Tower in the future. The Spirit Martial Tower has many craftsmen, and those craftsmen are very valuable to our North Country.”

It was evident to everyone in North Country how much Lu Chen valued craftsmen. The Spirit Martial Tower was a force specializing in forging weapons and equipment, and they started by trading these items. They trained a large number of craftsmen, especially blacksmiths.

Although the North Prince Mansion currently had over two thousand craftsmen, for the North Prince Mansion, this number was still not enough.

North Country was about to undertake massive construction projects; naturally, the more craftsmen, the better.

After hearing Qin Yushan’s words, Lu Chen pondered for a moment, then told Qin Yushan, “Then leave this person to you. Don’t let him escape.”

Qin Yushan immediately replied, “Rest assured, Prince. I will administer medicine to seal his skill later.”

At that time, Lu Chen said to the Grandmaster, “Take off the Golden Silk Soft Armor you wear.”

Hearing this command, the Grandmaster hesitated not a moment before stripping off his clothes and removing the Golden Silk Soft Armor, placing it on the ground.

Lu Chen then had someone strip off Su Teng’s Golden Silk Soft Armor as well. He picked up the two pieces of armor and examined them, discovering that they truly were forged from the same material and had the same effect—becoming indestructible upon contact with Spiritual Energy.

This material was indeed interesting.

Just then, two groups of people emerged from both sides of the cross-street. One was led by Mu Changtian, and the other by General Xuanyuan’s soldiers.

They quickly converged, and after arriving beside Lu Chen, Mu Changtian reported, “Prince, I accidentally killed the leading Grandmaster.”

Their mission that night had been divided; Mu Changtian and General Xuanyuan had each led their men to deal with two other assassin organizations.

Lu Chen had originally wanted them to capture the leading Grandmaster alive and not kill him, but when Master Level Martial Artists fought, it was sometimes hard to control the intensity, and accidentally killing an opponent was not unusual.

Lu Chen responded, “If he’s dead, let it be.”

At that moment, Lu Chen turned to look at General Xuanyuan, who was holding a man covered in blood. This man was also a Grandmaster, who by then was barely alive and appeared to be on the verge of death.

General Xuanyuan then threw the man to the ground, saying to Lu Chen, “Prince, I interrogated him briefly and learned that he is an assassin sent by the Chu Family.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was momentarily taken aback.

The Chu Family?

Although he knew the identity of the force behind the assassins, the Brocade Guard had not uncovered who had dispatched them. Lu Chen had not anticipated that the Chu Family would also send someone to assassinate him.

Frowning, Lu Chen then squatted down, placed his palm on the man’s head, and directly absorbed all the skill from his body.

Mu Changtian had not been present earlier to witness Lu Chen absorbing another’s skill. Thus, seeing this scene, he stood completely dumbfounded. Actively absorbing someone else’s skill?

What Cultivation Technique was the North Prince practicing?

Mu Changtian suddenly seemed to realize something—as if a lightbulb had gone off. No wonder the North Prince had become a Grandmaster in such a short time; he could absorb others’ skill and make it his own.

How did this look anything but like an Evil Cultivation technique?

After Lu Chen had drained all the skill from the man on the ground, the man still hadn’t died. Lu Chen then instructed General Xuanyuan, “Take this man to my grandfather and tell him what happened tonight.”

General Xuanyuan promptly replied, “Yes, Prince!”

Then Qin Yushan spoke up, “General Xuanyuan, you may not know where the Prince’s grandfather lives. I will have someone guide you there.”

General Xuanyuan responded, “Alright, then I’ll trouble Commander Qin.”

Qin Yushan immediately summoned several Jinyiwei Guards and had them lead General Xuanyuan to the residence where Chu Xiong currently lived.

After General Xuanyuan departed, Lu Chen scanned the Spirit Martial Tower assassins lying on the ground. Although these assassins had surrendered, their strength was not low, and frankly, Lu Chen was somewhat concerned that Qin Yushan and the others wouldn’t be able to control them.

It was then that Qin Yushan instructed the Jinyiwei Guards to feed the surrendered Spirit Martial Tower assassins a certain pill. Noticing this, Lu Chen asked, “Commander Qin, what are you feeding them?”
