Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

Situ Lan was full of confidence.

In his eyes, the woman in front of him had become a source of pride for him.

No matter how she tries to escape, she can never escape his grasp.

Just as Situ Lan was thinking this, Xie Feixue started to move.

Her body instantly transformed into several white shadows, breaking through in different directions.

"Multiple Illusions, Free and Unfettered Sword Technique"

Situ Lan, who was originally full of confidence, was stunned for a long time after seeing Xie Feixue's kung fu.

If he could really capture this woman, they could indeed exchange their crown prince for her.

But for Situ Lan herself, this might not be a good thing.

Situ Lan wasn't afraid of offending the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

If the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to cause trouble, it wouldn't target him; it would target the entire Qi Kingdom.

But the Marquis of Xiaoyao's mansion is different.

The Marquis of Xiaoyao's mansion wouldn't oppose the entire Qi Kingdom. Even with just one Supreme Realm expert and the mansion's power, they were simply no match for a nation like Qi.

However, at the Xiaoyao Marquis's residence, you can find specific people.

Since it was Situ Lan who arrested the person, the Xiaoyao Marquis's Mansion will keep an eye on Situ Lan.

Even if we don't tear him to pieces, we will never let him get away with it.

This is the domineering nature of the Supreme Marquis's Mansion.

Just thinking about how he would offend such a powerful force in the future, and the carefree Marquis Xie Xiaoyao behind it, is enough to make him want to...

Situ Lan felt her heart pounding.

The consequences were so severe that he dared not even think about them.

really.

Seeing that the other party did not make a move, a knowing look flashed in Xie Feixue's eyes.

As far as the entire Qi Kingdom is concerned, they are not even afraid of the Great Zhou, so how could they be afraid of a Xiaoyao Marquis's mansion, and how could they be wary of Xie Feixue?

However, on a personal level, Situ Lan had concerns.

It wasn't just him; any powerful expert at the Great Freedom Realm would likely have the same concerns.

For the sake of the imperial court, they completely offended a powerful expert at the Supreme Realm.

Is it really worth it?

Just as Situ Lan was in a daze, a patrol of soldiers came chasing after them from a distance.

"There are still remnants of the assassins; they must be brought to justice."

"The ancestor has issued an order: whoever captures the person will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and granted the title of Marquis of a Thousand Households."

Upon hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in Situ Lan's eyes, who had originally intended to give up.

If no one saw it, then it would be fine.

Now that he has been seen, he absolutely cannot let the girl in front of him leave.

No matter how great the threat posed by the Xiaoyao Marquis's mansion is, it cannot compare to that of their Qi Kingdom's ancestor.

After all, the Marquis of Xiaoyao is far away in the Great Zhou. He may not have the courage of the Supreme Regent Prince Li Changqing to personally come to the State of Qi to cause trouble.

Once he gets entangled with Qi State Patriarch Jiang Tang and Lingyin Temple Abbot Master Kongkong, it won't be so easy for him to escape.

But the patriarch of the Qi state was right in front of him.

Trying to outsmart the patriarch and having his loyalty questioned would not only harm Situ Lan, but the entire Situ clan.

He is the most important guardian of the Situ clan, and also the deputy clan leader.

Situ Lan cannot do that.

"Miss Xie's methods are truly extraordinary. With a mere Grandmaster level cultivation, she actually managed to simulate such an afterimage?"

Generally, only those who have reached the Free and Unfettered Realm can display such methods that defy the common sense of ordinary martial artists.

Most grandmasters and great grandmasters can only release their true energy to form a protective aura.

Use this method for both attack and defense.

They could never use their inner energy to simulate anything, not even an illusion.

Xie Feixue was clearly only at the Grandmaster level, yet she could do this with ease. Both her cultivation technique and her own talent were extremely terrifying.

Despite the praise, Situ Lan, determined to win over the person before her, had no intention of holding back.

He swung his hands rapidly, and the bone whip shot out instantly.

Xie Feixue's phantom vanished the moment it touched the bone whip.

As for Xie Feixue's true form, once she was entangled by the bone whip, she had no chance of escape.

If it weren't for the strange sword talisman in Xie Feixue's hand, she might have already become a prisoner by now.

"The Great Commander is mighty!"

"I never expected that the petty thief who vandalized the palace would be here?"

"She was also an exceptionally beautiful young woman."

For the ordinary soldiers of the Divine Martial Guard, they almost naturally assumed that the girl in front of them was the one who was causing trouble.

Otherwise, why would she be here, and why would she run away?

As for the clash between supreme beings, only the experts in the imperial palace would know.

The State of Qi would absolutely not publicize this.

A supreme-level expert stormed the palace and shattered the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation. Even when their royal ancestor personally intervened, he was unable to subdue the opponent in the slightest.

People come and go as they please.

Although Li Changqing withdrew, considering this is Qi's home turf, his retreat is not shameful; on the contrary, it demonstrates his strength.

Otherwise, why didn't the Qi patriarch, who clearly had the advantage of terrain, keep the Supreme Regent King here? Instead, he just watched him calmly retreat from his sight.

Such a shameful thing, Qi would do everything it could to cover it up, so why would it be publicized?

Ordinary soldiers and civilians naturally had no way of knowing.

They subconsciously believed that as long as they caught Xie Feixue, they would have caught the culprit.

"Is this a sword talisman that retains the will of the Supreme Being?"

Seeing the strange sword talisman in Xie Feixue's hand, Situ Lan's eyes turned red with jealousy.

It's said that it's good to have a big tree to lean on for shade.

This statement couldn't be more fitting for Xie Feixue.

Unexpectedly, the carefree Marquis dotes on her so much. If she really catches her, how could the carefree Marquis let it go?

Situ Lan felt trapped in a dilemma.

He wanted to let them go, but in front of everyone, once he did so...

Even if the patriarch of Qi originally did not intend to punish him, he had no choice but to do so.

Otherwise, wouldn't the reputation of the State of Qi become a joke?

Finally, Situ Lan gritted her teeth and prepared to activate the bone whip to suppress the will of the sword talisman.

If Xie Xiaoyao had come in person, even if Situ Lan had ten times the courage, he wouldn't have dared to do this.

But now, he only has to face a sword talisman, which makes a big difference.

He can not only handle it, but it doesn't even take him too long.

Xie Feixue herself had obviously noticed this, and her eyes grew increasingly anxious.

The will on the sword talisman was about to be completely exhausted.

A calm voice suddenly rang out: "A bunch of grown men, what kind of skill is it to bully a little girl? If you're so capable, come at me."

As they were speaking, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared before them.

Accompanied by a loud dragon's roar, the golden light transformed into a golden dragon several dozen feet long.

"The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms?"

"The Golden Dragon Hero!"
