Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

After returning to the Great Xia Imperial Palace, Xia Jin immediately instructed Qin Hu to summon Xia Yu to the Jinwang Palace.

Before long, Xia Yu rushed over from the imperial study, looking somewhat tired. In the past few days, he had barely slept a wink in order to deal with the disaster in the central region and prepare for the evacuation of the people.

But when he heard his older brother Xia Jin calling him, he had a vague feeling that it must be good news.

"Brother, is there some good news?" Xia Yu asked loudly with a smile as soon as he stepped into the Jinwang Palace.

"Alright, sit down and let's talk!" Xia Jin glanced at the travel-worn Xia Yu, pointed to the person opposite her, and gestured for Xia Yu to sit down: "The plan that I had you and Jiang Rou in charge of, to transfer the people to 'Canglan Island,' can be put on hold for now."

"ah!?"

Upon hearing this, not only Xia Yu, but also Leng Yuexi and Qin Hu were stunned.

Xia Yu frowned and asked with some doubt, "Brother, why the sudden postponement? You should know what happened in the Central Region. If disaster were to befall the Eastern Region, even though our Great Xia is located at the easternmost edge of the Eastern Region, it would probably be too late to evacuate by then."

Qin Hu, standing behind Xia Yu, also nodded.

Leng Yuexi gently took Xia Jin's hand and looked at him softly, saying, "Yes, my husband, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"What? You don't believe your husband either?" Xia Jin looked at Leng Yuexi with a half-smile.

"Could it be..." Leng Yuexi looked at Xia Jin's confident eyes, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and a thought flashed through her mind.

Xia Jin patted Leng Yuexi's hand, glanced at Xia Yu and the others, and said with a smile, "You may not know, but today, the murderer who destroyed the Lieyang Dynasty and the Daqian Dynasty has descended upon the Eastern Region."

"What?!" Xia Yu suddenly stood up, Qin Hu's expression changed drastically, only Leng Yuexi, who vaguely guessed what was going on, did not show much change in expression.

"The Moonlit Dynasty was their first stop in the Eastern Region. However, I have already intervened and forced them to retreat. As long as I am here, I believe they will not easily set foot in the Eastern Region again anytime soon."

Xia Yu took a deep breath and slowly sat down: "Big brother... are you serious!? It seems it really is you, big brother! Don't you agree, Qin Hu!?"

"That's right, Your Majesty! As long as the Prince is here, all those strong people are nothing but mud dogs in front of the Prince..." Qin Hu quickly chimed in, praising Xia Jin.

Qin Hu only shut his mouth after Xia Jin glared at him fiercely.

"By the way, you can ignore the other matters for now, but there's another matter that needs to be expedited. We must unify the Eastern Region as soon as possible! Now that the Great Qian and Lie Yang kingdoms have been destroyed, it will be a good opportunity to officially take control of the Eastern Region after unifying it." Xia Jin looked at Xia Yu and said solemnly.

A glint flashed in Xia Yu's eyes, then he nodded emphatically: "Brother, rest assured! In fact, if it weren't for the sudden disaster in the Central Region that disrupted our plans, all the kingdoms of the Eastern Region could have been brought under the control of Great Xia within a month. Now that those three have been forced to retreat, I can immediately restart the unification plan!"

"Very good." Xia Jin smiled with satisfaction. "You are in full charge of this matter. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to me."

"Yes!" Xia Yu was invigorated, all the fatigue of the past few days vanished, and he quickly took his leave. Qin Hu, who was standing beside him, also tactfully withdrew from the hall.

Only Xia Jin and Leng Yuexi remained in the hall.

Leng Yuexi nestled gently into Xia Jin's arms, looking up at him with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Husband! You just said you drove those guys who wiped out the Central Region out of the Eastern Region. But I know that, given your usual style, you wouldn't leave any survivors easily, let alone let the enemy leave. Those people must be incredibly powerful!"

Xia Jin embraced Leng Yuexi's slender waist, took a deep breath of the floral fragrance emanating from her, and then nodded: "To be honest, those three are indeed not simple. Especially, I have a feeling that they are not at their peak, but rather... people who have been sealed for a long time and have just awakened."

Upon hearing this, a hint of worry flashed in Leng Yuexi's eyes.

"No need to worry! I'm here to handle everything. They won't be able to cause any trouble!" Xia Jin smiled and patted Leng Yuexi's cheek, his eyes filled with unwavering confidence. "No matter who they are, if they come again, I will make sure they never return."

After absorbing the 1,500 years of cultivation rewarded by the system, he is very likely to break through to the ninth level of the Land Immortal Realm.

At that time, his strength will experience another qualitative leap, and he will not be afraid of those three even if they return to their peak condition.

When Xia Jin said these words, he exuded an air of domineering power. But in Leng Yuexi's eyes, it immediately brought a dreamy look to her beautiful gaze.

This is Leng Yuexi's man, the man who can always turn the tide in times of crisis and give her an unparalleled sense of security.

She couldn't help but tilt her head back and gently kiss Xia Jin's lips.

Xia Jin was suddenly taken aback, then chuckled softly, "Little vixen, daring to tease your husband?"

With that, he swept Leng Yuexi up in his arms. Leng Yuexi gasped softly, wrapping her arms around his neck, her face flushed.

With a wave of her hand, Xia Jin slammed the palace doors shut.

The next day, before dawn, in an ordinary mansion outside the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

An inconspicuous carriage slowly drove in through the back gate and stopped in the courtyard.

Upon hearing the commotion, the two sisters, Luo Qinghe and Luo Qingyao, quickly came out of their room and headed towards the carriage.

A middle-aged man in a gray robe stepped down from the carriage; it was Jun Wuxie.

"Uncle Jun!" Luo Qingyao rushed forward excitedly, grabbing his arm and shaking it. "You're finally back! If we hadn't heard from you in a few more days, my sister and I would have come looking for you!"

Luo Qinghe also looked pleased and nodded to the other party: "Uncle Jun, let's go inside and talk."

The three entered the inner room, where a maid served tea and then withdrew.

After personally pouring Jun Wuxie a cup of tea, Luo Qinghe asked, "Uncle Jun, what is the situation in those countries bordering the Eastern and Central Regions?"

Jun Wuxie picked up his teacup, took a sip, and his expression turned serious: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss! A major incident occurred yesterday!"

"When the Lieyang Dynasty of the Central Region was destroyed, the two young ladies decided to travel east to avoid disaster; later, after the fall of the Daqian Dynasty, they traveled from the Yuehua Dynasty to this easternmost Daxia. I stayed in the Yuehua Dynasty to observe the situation, and just yesterday..."

Luo Qingyao felt a little nervous: "What happened yesterday?"

"Yesterday, the murderer who destroyed the Blazing Sun and the Great Qian Dynasty descended upon the Moonflower Dynasty!"

"What?!" Luo Qingyao's face turned deathly pale. "Then...then the Moonflower Dynasty wouldn't be..."

A flicker of shock crossed Luo Qinghe's phoenix eyes, but she didn't share her sister Luo Qingyao's panic: "Uncle Jun, and then what? Could the Moonflower Dynasty have followed in the footsteps of the Blazing Sun Dynasty...?"

Jun Wuxie shook his head, then suddenly smiled: "Ladies, there's no need to panic. The Moonflower Dynasty... is safe and sound."

"Huh!? How is that possible!?" Jun Wuxie's words stunned both women.
