The various factions in the martial arts world are constantly fighting each other, but when faced with the pressure from the imperial court, most will step forward to help, or at least say a few words.

Because the imperial court and the martial arts world are inherently antagonistic and at odds.

If the imperial court wants to demonstrate its authority, it will inevitably have to take action against the martial arts world.

When martial arts factions want to expand their territory, they are bound to fight.

The power dynamics within families are more complex; they may collude with the imperial court for personal gain, or they may secretly obstruct progress for the same reason.

The Zhao and Lin families acted in this way; although they had placed people in the court, they were also thinking about how to weaken the court's power.

However, relatively speaking, the imperial court was still quite united.

The arrival of Tong Qing, also a master of spirit cultivation, completely changed the situation.

Like a dragon soaring across the heavens and earth, it carries with it unparalleled power.

Tong Qing remained expressionless, her gaze fixed on Su Yuanyuan, as she exerted force in her wrist.

As the bullets rained down, the shape curved like a full moon; once the power was unleashed, it would cause the heavens and earth to collapse!

A red arc streaked across the void.

With the force of Mount Tai crashing down on Su Yuanyuan!

"hateful!"

Su Yuanyuan's eyes were red, filled with resentment; he knew he couldn't fight off four opponents.

Tong Qing's attack caught him off guard.

Even more difficult to resist.

Even if these two were to face off one-on-one, he wouldn't dare say he was guaranteed a win.

Not to mention the two of them working together to deal with him.

"I can't die here... I must at least avenge my disciple!"

Su Yuanyuan's mind raced, and the innate true energy within his body roared like a great river.

A towering sword shadow descended from the sky.

It withstood a fierce shot.

However, Lu Tian's attack followed immediately.

Lu Tian roared, "That's just a last-ditch resistance!"

"You old thief, prepare to die!"

The words were spoken.

Blood energy surged from his body, and the figure of a giant god appeared.

The colossal figure roared and, together with Lu Tian, ​​unleashed a palm strike.

With the force of an earthquake, it directly shattered the already gradually disappearing towering sword shadow.

The force of the impact was still strong, and it slammed heavily into Su Yuanyuan's left arm, which was protecting his head.

Click!

Its power is astonishing!

Su Yuanyuan's arm instantly turned into a lump of mud, exposing the white bones, which was extremely gruesome.

We must escape!

"We can't continue like this. We'll get our revenge sooner or later!"

In the blink of an eye, Su Yuanyuan remained remarkably calm.

He knew perfectly well that if things continued this way, he would either die or be captured.

A ruthless glint appeared on his face, and the next moment...

A crimson aura enveloped him, and with his essence blood burning, the aura exploded instantly, causing his speed to surge dramatically.

In the blink of an eye, they were out of the battlefield.

His body transformed into a swift bolt of lightning and vanished into the horizon in an instant.

"Burning one's essence and blood depletes one's vital energy, severely damaging one's vitality."

"Plus, he's not young anymore, so he's probably not going to make it anytime soon."

Lu Tian was surprised; he hadn't expected the old man to be so decisive.

Forcibly breaking through their encirclement would come at a great cost.

If Su Yuanyuan surrenders, his life can actually be saved, since they don't want to push the Qingyun Sword Sect too far.

This kind of power is already quite formidable.

This would lead the other party to seek refuge in another country, which would be a losing proposition.

At most, they'll be imprisoned until the Qingyun Sword Sect comes to ransom them.

"Don't pursue a defeated enemy too far; he can't cause any more trouble now."

Tong Qing spoke up.

Li Ming glanced around and saw that the battle was over.

Relieved, he stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said:

"Many thanks to Lord Tong and Lord Lu for their help. I am deeply grateful."

The original idea was for a group of constables to attack him quickly and decisively, and then he would kill Zhao Youcai.

Unexpectedly, things took a sudden turn, ultimately leading to a major battle involving a master of spiritual cultivation.

It opened his eyes.

Tong Qing smiled and said:

"Young friend Li, you're too kind. It was just a small favor. As fellow members of the court, we should naturally help each other. If you want to thank someone, you can thank the Qin family; they're the ones who informed me."

Originally, he was supposed to preside over the opening of this secret realm on behalf of the imperial court.

I was thinking of taking a break and coming back tomorrow when it starts.

Unexpectedly, after receiving the message from the Qin family and learning the reason for the matter, he quickly made a decision and rushed there.

Fortunately, they arrived just in time for the crucial moment.

Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, not expecting that someone in the Qin family was so intelligent as to have thought of bringing in reinforcements.

Given the influence of the imperial court, in this situation, unless there are personal grudges, they will most likely side with him.

"However, young friend Li's injuries... don't they need to be treated as soon as possible?"

Tong Qing looked at Li Ming's body, which was covered in blood, and felt quite worried.

Looking down at his tattered robes and the slowly healing wounds, he smiled bitterly:

"My injuries are alright, it's just a pity about my clothes."

"In that case, I won't bother you today. I'll stay at the Martial Academy. Just come find me if you need anything."

Tong Qing said very considerately.

To prevent the Qingyun Sword Sect from harboring treacherous intentions, it's best to stay here and guard the place.

Once the secret realm is successfully opened, he will be able to report back.

If Tong Qing's subordinates saw him like this, they would probably suspect that their captain had been possessed.

"good."

Tong Qing's attitude was very good; she did not look down on Li Ming because of her own strength, and her eyes revealed appreciation.

Li Ming sighed inwardly, thinking that this new ranking system really made a difference.

Wherever you go, you will be treated with courtesy.

Many experts would be willing to lend a helping hand and form a good relationship with him.

There are advantages to being a genius!

If he didn't have that status, even if the other party came to help him, they would be aloof and only there to save face for the court; his life or death would be completely unimportant.

Or perhaps it would be better if he died, as it would also put pressure on the opponent's power.

I saw Tong Qingyuan leave.

Li Ming also spoke up:

"I would also like to thank Chief Constable Lu for his great help this time."

Lu Tian waved his hand and said:

"They are all from the Six Doors, so it's only right that they stand up for you. As for the Qingyun Sword Sect, someone will deal with them."

The Qingyun Sword Sect doesn't really take the Six Doors seriously.

He lacked the ability to defeat the Qingyun Sword Sect.

But he can report it, and the higher-ups will handle it. At the very least, it will make the Qingyun Sword Sect bleed a little.

With so many constables in the Six Doors, if they just send one of them to demand an explanation, the other side will have to obediently submit.

And these powerful families and gangs within the county—this debt has also been recorded.

Upon hearing this, Li Ming nodded.

The imperial court's power is unfathomable, far beyond what these minor sects can match.

If the other party doesn't bow down and pay the price, where will the authority of the Six Doors and the imperial court be?

That old bastard Su Yuanyuan is trying to bully the weak.

After this incident, the Qingyun Sword Sect will most likely sever ties with him.

He just needs to be careful, since the other party is definitely still up to no good.

"That's all for today. Go back and rest now, and prepare for the secret realm."

"The ferocious creatures within the secret realm should not be underestimated... In addition, given your formidable performance this time, it's inevitable that you'll attract some attention."

"Okay, thank you for the reminder, Chief Constable Lu."

The onlookers gradually dispersed, but some still wore expressions of joy.

Not only did they witness a battle between geniuses, but they also observed a fight between Grandmasters of Divine Refinement.

It is foreseeable that today's events will spread outwards at an extremely rapid pace.

Li Ming is about to make a name for himself again.

After all, he was at the center of this matter.

Centered around him, a great battle between Refining God Grandmasters was triggered.

In the end, the Qingyun Sword Sect suffered heavy losses, including a Refining God Grandmaster!

In some remote places, this would be enough to establish a sect. Even in a powerful force like the Qingyun Sword Sect, one would hold the position of elder, belonging to the highest echelons of society.

Secretly, Lin Canghai clenched his fists, feeling a pang of regret. He never expected things to develop to this point. He had originally planned to seduce the Qingyun Sword Sect to further develop the Lin family.

Unexpectedly, Su Yuanyuan was so reckless. Matters between juniors can be resolved easily, but when a Refining God Grandmaster like him takes action, things become very different.

Zhao Youcai is a good-for-nothing!

It's a shame he's a true disciple, a whole realm higher, yet he's still so easily defeated.

No matter how frustrated Lin Canghai was, time could not be turned back. This time, the Lin family's intervention had already offended the Six Doors and severely offended Li Ming.

If we try to reconcile now, Li Ming most likely won't agree...

Lin Xun himself knew that things were going badly. Although he had killed Grandmasters before, he had never killed one as easily as Li Ming.

After entering the secret realm, Lin Xun made up his mind to come up with a foolproof plan.

On the other side.

Qin Yun looked up at Li Ming, smiled slightly, and left without saying anything more, leading the excited members of the Qin family.

Li Ming and he exchanged a smile, and Li Ming understood what was going on.
