However, before Zhuge Zhengwo could also set off, the wooden Taoist suddenly spoke up, "After all, this is the palace. If things get chaotic like this, it will be troublesome. It would be better for Lord Zhuge to take charge of the overall situation."

Upon hearing Mu Daoren's words, Zhuge Zhengwo immediately realized what he meant and nodded, saying, "Thank you for reminding me, Daoist Master."

As he spoke, Zhuge Zhengwo suddenly unleashed his true energy and shouted, "I, Zhuge Zhengwo, am here by order of His Majesty to supervise the martial artists who entered the palace today. All guards, listen to my command. If any martial artist leaves this Taihe Hall without permission, they shall be killed without mercy."

The deep voice resounded throughout the Hall of Supreme Harmony, causing the other martial artists who had originally wanted to leave with Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue, and the others to quiet down.

At the same time, as Zhuge Zhengwo's voice echoed in the Taihe Hall, Chu Qinghe also heard Zhuge Zhengwo's voice.

The moment the sound reached his ears, Chu Qinghe chuckled inwardly.

"Heh, do you intend to use this method to also delay Zhuge Zhengye?"

However, just as Zhuge Zhengwo's voice rang out, Shuimu Yinji, who was standing next to Chu Qinghe, suddenly spoke up: "A martial artist at the Celestial Realm has made a move."

Upon hearing Shuimu Yinji's words, Chu Qinghe and the others immediately shifted their gaze to the brightly lit courtyard in front of them.

The next instant, in the sight of Chu Qinghe and the others, a black-clad man wearing a painted mask had appeared in the brightly lit front yard.

Almost the instant Chu Qinghe and his companions saw the man in black, they recognized him from his full head of silver hair and his figure.

It was none other than Ren Tianxing, the leader of the Round Moon Sect who had guided Chu Qinghe and his companions at the Southern Shaolin Temple that day.

Upon seeing Ren Tianxing wearing a painted mask, the guards in the courtyard all changed their expressions and drew their weapons.

However, before the guards could make any further moves, Ren Tianxing quickly slashed his right hand in front of him, and a crescent-shaped blade shadow, accompanied by a chilling blade aura, condensed and rushed towards the guards.

The moment the blade flashed across the sky, it almost instantly pierced through the guards, simultaneously cleaving apart the chief eunuch who had been standing at the door and the door behind him.

In contrast, the guards in the courtyard all coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

After casually killing the dozen or so guards, Ren Tianxing flashed and instantly teleported to the doorway of the room.

"presumptuous!"

However, just as Ren Tianxing was about to enter the room, a low, hoarse shout suddenly rang out in the sky above the courtyard.

The next second, Ren Tianxing, who had just reached the door of the room, seemed to sense something. He shifted his feet slightly, and as he turned his upper body around, his hand slashed out again, forming a half-zhang-long, blood-red crescent-shaped blade shadow.

Just as the sword shadow was formed, a spear phantom formed from true essence shot from afar and collided with the sword shadow unleashed by Ren Tianxing.

"boom!"

As the shadows of the sword and the spear collided, a powerful surge of energy erupted, with the sword energy, the internal energy, and the true essence scattering like sparks.

The fierce energy and the extremely refined true essence sliced ​​through and pierced through everything in its path as easily as cutting through tofu.

The released energy not only sent the dozen or so guards that Ren Tianxing had just killed flying, but also sent them flying.

The scattered energy and true essence further riddled the dozen or so guards' corpses with holes.

The next second, another figure appeared in the front yard.

He looked to be over seventy years old, with a frail face and a long, narrow scar on his left cheek.

Although he was only wearing a simple blue robe, his back was as straight as a pine tree, and his figure was robust. With the long spear in his hand, if he were wearing armor, he would definitely be a majestic general on the battlefield.

As the old man appeared in the courtyard, his gaze fell upon Ren Tianxing. Looking at the painted mask on Ren Tianxing's face, the old man's eyes narrowed: "This mask...you're a member of the Azure Dragon Society?"

When asked by the old man, Ren Tianxing gave a cold smile on his face behind his mask.

"good!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Ren Tianxing silently and instantly flashed towards the old man.

As he moved, Ren Tianxing used his hand as a blade, unleashing a blood-red and condensed blade shadow that rushed towards the old man opposite him.

"court death!"

Faced with Ren Tianxing's actions, the old man snorted coldly and then exerted force in his hand holding the spear. The twelve-foot-long spear in his hand conjured hundreds of blue spear shadows, which were like hundreds of ghostly flames that spread endlessly and covered the sky. It was like a wildfire that was coming on fiercely.

Faced with the old man's barrage of spear shadows, Ren Tianxing frowned slightly. His body paused strangely in mid-air, and then his blood-red true energy condensed as he swung his hand, leaving behind afterimages of sword energy.

In an instant, a series of sharp and strangely angled blade shadows rushed towards the old man as Ren Tianxing swung his hand.

Each blade shadow was surrounded by surging blade energy.

As the blade pierced the air, it seemed as if an invisible energy flowed into the surrounding air, then collided with the myriad spear shadows in front of it.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Instantly, deafening sounds rang out all around, and even Chu Qinghe's side felt a faint tremor in the air.

After forcibly breaking through the sky with his own unique skills, Ren Tianxing took a step and instantly appeared above the old man. With a hand chop, he once again brought out a fierce and condensed blade shadow to slash down at the old man below.
