"Your Majesty, Zhenwu has made a move!"

At Zijinyuan, Yu Huachun relayed the message: "Yan Mingshu went to Sixiang Mountain, while Jiang Lan led people to the Shu King's Villa."

Although his niece was intelligent, she was still inevitably influenced by the scholarly air that came with the academy.

In this world, there are many times when we don't need to rush forward blindly.

Sometimes, pausing for a moment is not a sign of weakness.

Of course, even if Jiang Lan chooses to wait and see, I naturally have other ways to ignite this matter.

The conflict between the Zhenwu Division and the Shu Prince's Mansion was inevitable.

Even if the Secret Temple tries to keep a low profile, it won't allow its own people to be investigated. After all, it is one of the five major immortal sects.

Jianmen will most likely not stand idly by.

The fourth prince has been stationed in Shu Prefecture for nearly twenty years. Although he is indifferent to worldly affairs, he truly treats Jianmen as his ancestor.

Ye Gu was a proud and aloof person, and naturally he would not allow others to trample on the dignity of the Shu King's Mansion.

At that time, with an invincible master and a top-tier demigod in charge, the mysterious invincible master from the Jixia Academy will surely be challenged.

The battle between these three top experts will also draw out the two hall masters of the Ziyang Immortal Sect.

Yan Xiao and Zhu Wuji never respected martial artists from beginning to end, and for whatever reason, they would inevitably side with the Secret Temple.

Even if that mysterious expert from the Jixia Academy were incredibly powerful, he couldn't possibly fight four opponents alone.

I will then step forward myself and stand with the Jixia Academy through thick and thin.

As long as one can withstand the might of the immortal sects, one can officially embark on the path of dominance.

Once the royal clan's secret realm opens, I will join forces with those old guys from the royal clan to slaughter everyone in the immortal sect.

When that time comes, wielding the might to annihilate immortals, who in the world will be able to rival us?

A flame burned in Zhou Zhenxiong's eyes.

......

The night at Sixiang Mountain was broken by the sound of horses' hooves.

Yan Mingshu dismounted, and Jiang Xue followed behind him.

Only two people came on this trip.

The reason there are two people is because this is the Four Symbols Mountain.

Having a lot of people here doesn't make any difference.

Yan Mingshu and Jiang Xue, with their special identities and high status, are the most suitable to come.

Who goes there?

At the entrance to Four Symbols Mountain, the guardian warriors appeared.

"Yan Mingshu from the Zhenwu Division has come to pay a visit to Dongfang Qingming!"

After Yan Mingshu finished speaking, all the mountain-guarding warriors were wide awake.

Although the name Yan Mingshu is not as dazzling as Nangong Zhenxiang and Jiang Lan.

But he shouldn't be underestimated; everyone knows that Li Fan was someone he invited out of seclusion.

And everyone knows that Li Fan and he are very close friends.

In many cases, Yan Mingshu is equivalent to Li Fan.

Not giving Yan Mingshu his name is disrespecting Li Fan.

"Lord Yan, please wait a moment while I go back and report!"

A martial artist with supernatural powers stepped out from the crowd and flew towards the depths of the Four Symbols Mountain.

Soon, he arrived at the main summit council hall.

During this period, in order to ensure that no accidents occur during the seclusion.

In the main council hall, there are always high-ranking members from the four major families taking turns to preside.

Tonight's duty officer happens to be Ximen Qingshan.

When the martial artist who had reached the Divine Realm sent the message, Ximen Qingshan dared not delay. He notified his men to welcome Yan Mingshu in, and at the same time, he rushed to the place of seclusion.

......

Li Fan arrived just two days ago, and now this has happened.

My guess was right.

Dongfang Qingming awoke from his seclusion and immediately flew out.

He soon met Yan Mingshu without any trouble.

"It is truly presumptuous of me to disturb you so late at night."

But the situation was urgent, and to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, Ming Shu had no choice but to come!

Yan Mingshu's attitude was not bad; in fact, it could be described as very good.

The reason for this was that Yan Mingshu believed that Tuoba Ye's death could not have been caused by the four major families.

After all, ever since this person took over, the four major families seem to have suddenly gained their brains.

He used to be arrogant, but now he lives a humble life.

His style of doing things has completely changed.

Tuoba Ye was an insignificant figure in the grand scheme of things.

Killing him would be pointless, not even as a way to vent their anger.

As for instigating conflict between the Zhenwu Division and the Shu Prince's Mansion, that is certainly possible.

That's why Yan Mingshu decided to come and see for himself to verify his suspicions.

"What happened?"

Dongfang Qingming asked.

"Didn't the Spider Web receive any intelligence?"

Yan Mingshu narrowed his eyes, sizing up Dongfang Qingming.

Yan Mingshu had witnessed the power of the intelligence systems of the four major families.

Whether it's uncovering Shen Jinghe's identity as the person in charge of Tingfeng Tower in Zhongzhou or the fact that Lingzhou has planted a pawn like Qin Yu, it's enough to reveal how terrifying he is.

Although Tuoba Longwu immediately blocked the news, Yan Mingshu did not believe that the news had not spread at all.

But then, a look of astonishment flashed in Dongfang Qingming's eyes.

This instinctive reaction cannot be faked.

"Since Li Fan entered the city, I have withdrawn everyone."

The spiderwebs of the heavens have all been hidden.

I really don't know what happened in Tianjin!

But I can guarantee that none of the core members of the four major families have emerged from seclusion in the near future.

Dongfang Qingming pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Tuoba Ye died at Baihualou in the early hours of yesterday morning."

I came here to investigate the top experts of the four major families.

Anyone capable of killing him with a single blow will likely require the assistance of Brother Seimei.

Yan Mingshu's demands were by no means unreasonable.

Among the four major families, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of people capable of killing Tuoba Ye in one strike.

Apart from the few people on duty and Dongfang Qingming, most of these people were in seclusion, cultivating their minds and bodies.

Letting them out now would be a waste of time.

If someone happens to be on the verge of breaking through, the losses could be huge.

Moreover, among these people are the ancestors of the four major families who have lived for countless years.

How could someone like him leave the pass to prove his innocence because of Tuoba Ye's death?

To put it bluntly, Tuoba Ye is not worthy at all.

Ximen Qingshan and his companions glared at Yan Mingshu and his companion with hostility. If Dongfang Qingming gave the order, they would dare to step forward and kill Yan Mingshu, this madman.

Even Dongfang Qingming's eyes were now flashing with anger.

Li Fan's retreat was to preserve his strength.

But this does not mean that the four major families can let others humiliate them.

He himself is not someone who can be easily molded.

Dongfang Qingming remained silent, the anger brewing in his cold eyes almost solidifying.

A terrifying pressure enveloped Yan Mingshu.

Just then, Jiang Xue stepped forward.

A radiant aura appeared behind her.

The righteous energy coalesced into a vast mountain of books, blocking the oppressive force.

Li Fan's body-refining method enabled Jiang Xue to reach a higher level.

The skill she inherited from Jiang Lan was now fully absorbed by her.

That's why she was able to withstand Dongfang Qingming's oppressive aura.

"Arrogant!"

Upon seeing this, Ximen Qingshan, who was standing behind Dongfang Qingming, was enraged.
