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

After dealing with the five thousand red-clad iron cavalry, Xia Jin went directly to the capital of Fenglin.

At this moment, in the capital of Fenglin, in an inconspicuous second-floor room of an inn.

Eunuch Wei sat by the window, his face full of worry.

According to the original plan, Su Xuanji would instigate 50,000 border troops from Dayuan to launch a major attack on the border of Fenglin. The Fenglin court would then have to mobilize all its troops to meet the enemy.

At that time, the capital of Fenglin will be militarily depleted and the people will be filled with anxiety. During this period, some of the people he has placed in the Fenglin palace can work together from within and without to force the emperor to abdicate and take control of Fenglin.

When the Great Xia army presses in, Fenglin, this piece of fat meat, will fall safely into the mouth of Great Xia.

Despite all our careful planning, we never expected the Moonflower Dynasty to suddenly interfere!

To his surprise, the Yuehua Dynasty's elite 5,000 red-clad cavalry were so fierce that they easily defeated the 50,000-strong border army of Dayuan. As a result, his plan had to be put on hold for the time being.

"Damn it! Those bastards from the Moonflower Dynasty!!" The more Eunuch Wei thought about it, the angrier he became. He crushed the teacup in his hand with a "crack," and his face became even more gloomy.

"With the Moonbeam Dynasty's move, the Phoenix Palace must be on high alert... It seems we can only wait for news from the Prince and look for another opportunity."

He took a few deep breaths before he regained his composure.

Just then, Wei Gonggong's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and a strong sense of unease suddenly arose.

His intuition, honed from years of walking on the edge of life and death, made him retreat without the slightest hesitation!

"laugh--!"

A sharp and unparalleled sword light suddenly appeared, shattering the window of his room and slashing towards the spot where he had just been sitting!

"Boom!"

The entire wall, along with the table next to it, collapsed with a crash under this sword strike!

Eunuch Wei, however, broke through the window amidst the dust and landed on the street behind the inn.

"My location has been exposed!" He was horrified, his eyes scanning ahead with extreme vigilance.

Under the moonlight, at the end of the street, an old man in a gray robe, carrying a long sword, walked slowly. His steps seemed slow, but in the blink of an eye, he closed the distance by dozens of feet, stopping three feet in front of Eunuch Wei.

The old man, with white hair and a youthful face, and a ruddy complexion, was smiling at Eunuch Wei. "It seems that you are the source of all the recent unrest in the palace."

Under the moonlight, Eunuch Wei could clearly see the face of the newcomer. His heart sank to the bottom, and his face became even more gloomy and ugly than before.

Phoenix descends upon the Imperial Palace, Grand Offering!

A Grandmaster at the ninth level!

Although Xia Jin reshaped his meridians with the Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture, and his cultivation speed advanced by leaps and bounds, he has now broken through to the seventh level of the Grandmaster Realm. However, he has no chance of winning against an opponent who is two realms below him!

Escape! We must escape immediately!

Without the slightest hesitation, the moment Wei Gonggong saw the other person's face clearly, he turned sharply like an arrow and sped off towards the outside of the city!

"Leave?" Grand Elder Feng Lin's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Do you think you can escape? If you manage to escape from my grasp, then I'll give you my position as Grand Elder!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a white blur and caught up with a speed far surpassing that of Eunuch Wei.

What followed became a true game of cat and mouse.

Grand Elder Feng Lin was not in a hurry to kill Eunuch Wei immediately, but followed behind at a leisurely pace, occasionally casually unleashing a sword aura.

The sword energy forced Eunuch Wei to exert all his strength, dodging and weaving in a sorry state.

"Damn it, it seems we can only pin our hopes on that dense forest!!" Eunuch Wei had already rushed out of the city wall, glanced at the dense forest to his left, and immediately ran in that direction.

Unfortunately, the opponent's aura had already locked onto him, and no matter how he changed direction, it was to no avail.

About half an hour later.

Eunuch Wei felt his legs go slightly weak.

He also had many deep and shallow sword wounds on his body, and his speed had obviously slowed down.

"Alright, I'm too lazy to play with you anymore." The voice of Grand Elder Feng Lin drifted over again.

The reason he deliberately pursued him for so long was to see if Eunuch Wei had any accomplices around him, hoping to lure out an even bigger fish. But to his disappointment, the other party was always alone.

Since that's the case, there's no need to keep it.

Grand Elder Feng Lin stopped in his tracks, slowly raising his long sword. His eyes flashed with murderous intent as he locked onto Eunuch Wei's back.

"Am I going to die?"

Wei Gonggong felt the sword intent behind him, and his heart turned cold. In his despair, a ruthless aura suddenly rose within him.

He suddenly stopped and turned around!

Rather than be slaughtered in a cowardly manner, it's better to fight to the death!

His palms instantly turned ashen, and a chilling, bone-deep palm force rapidly gathered, causing the surrounding air temperature to drop several degrees.

"Old man! If you want my life, I'll break a few of your teeth too! I'll take you down with me even if I die!" Eunuch Wei's face was ferocious. Instead of retreating, he advanced, charging towards Grand Elder Feng Lin with the momentum of mutual destruction!

"Hmph! Overestimating yourself!" Grand Elder Feng Lin sneered.

With a flick of his wrist, the longsword was about to be swung!

However, the next second, the sneer on his face suddenly froze completely!

Because he found he could no longer wield the sword!

It wasn't that his internal strength was insufficient, but rather that the sword seemed to be frozen in place. No matter how much he channeled his true energy, the tip of the sword remained completely still!

"Old man, haven't you eaten? How come you can't even swing your sword anymore?" A voice came from behind him.

Grand Elder Feng Lin broke out in a cold sweat. "Who is it? How could they appear behind him without me noticing?"

He gritted his teeth and slowly turned his head.

A tall figure appeared, standing behind and to the side of him.

The man simply extended two fingers and casually pinched the tip of his longsword.

Wei Gonggong's forward-leaning figure abruptly stopped the moment that figure appeared.

He stared at the familiar figure, his eyes widening in disbelief, before his body began to tremble uncontrollably. It wasn't fear, but excitement and ecstasy!

Wei Gonggong's Adam's apple bobbed, and with all his might, he shouted, "Master!! You've come!!"

Upon hearing Eunuch Wei address him as "Master," Grand Master Feng Lin felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

This guy actually has powerful backers! And... they're such powerful figures!

In a flash, the instinct honed by years of life-and-death struggles overwhelmed his fear.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly loosened his grip on the sword, simultaneously turning around and striking Xia Jin's chest with a palm!

This sudden change of tactics was extremely abrupt. In his view, even if the opponent possessed extraordinary abilities, they would inevitably be unable to dodge this attack!

"Master! Be careful!!!" At the same time that Grand Elder Feng Lin made his move, Eunuch Wei, who was not far away, also shouted a warning.
