Xuantian Sect, Yaori Peak.

"He killed Jiang Yuanlong with a casual sword strike?"

“Jiang Yuanlong is at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. With my strength, I can do it too.”

"But this person is no ordinary person. He is merely the ninth prince of a mortal dynasty under my Xuantian Sect. Without an extraordinary opportunity, he could never have accomplished this."

Hua Tianfeng looked at the message transmitted by Zhong Zhenyu through the Xuantian Sect token, pondered for a long time, and said, "No, a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall."

Even if I'm 100% certain, I can't make a move lightly.

It would be safer to invite the sect leader.

Thinking of this, Hua Tianfeng immediately sent a message to Zhong Zhenyu, ordering him not to worry about anything and to return to Xuantian Sect immediately.

He immediately darted off towards Xuantian Peak.

Xuantian Peak.

Whoosh!

Hua Tianfeng appeared atop Xuan Tianfeng.

"Greetings, Holy Son."

Upon seeing Hua Tianfeng appear, the disciples of the Xuantian Sect on Xuantian Peak bowed respectfully.

"Step back."

Hua Tianfeng waved to the Xuan Tian Sect disciples and said.

"yes."

The Xuantian Sect disciples responded and then disappeared.

"Disciple Hua Tianfeng requests Sect Master to emerge from seclusion!"

Hua Tianfeng stood outside the Xuantian Palace atop Xuantian Peak and shouted loudly.

Buzz!

A buzzing sound rang out from inside the Xuantian Palace.

Then the doors of the Xuantian Palace clicked open, and an old man in a green robe with white hair and eyebrows, exuding an air of otherworldly grace, walked out.

This old man in the green robe was none other than Duan Tianmin, the sect leader of the Xuantian Sect.

"Greetings, Sect Master."

Hua Tianfeng spoke to Duan Tianmin with a respectful expression.

"Tianfeng, has something happened?"

Duan Tianmin looked at Hua Tianfeng with a kind expression and said.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, something terrible has happened!"

Hua Tianfeng said with a solemn expression.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Duan Tianmin said calmly.

Hua Tianfeng began by recounting how Jiang Yuanlong and the others went to Yanjing City in Yan State to attend the Wanbao Auction, telling the whole story in detail.

"What a fine example of Li Jing, the Ninth Prince of Yan!"

Duan Tianmin said with murderous intent in his eyes, "How dare you kill an elder of my Xuantian Sect! You've really gone too far!"

My Xuantian Sect not only wants to kill this boy, but also to avenge the elders of my Xuantian Sect!

Furthermore, they intend to annihilate the entire Yan royal family and intimidate these mortal dynasties!

Otherwise, not to mention other sects, even the mortal dynasties under our Xuantian Sect would think that our Xuantian Sect has already weakened.

"At that time, our entire Xuantian Sect will likely be destroyed because of this!"

"Sect Master, you are wise!"

Hua Tianfeng said with a look of admiration, "That's what I think too."

However, I feel that this young man may have obtained an extraordinary opportunity, and even if I were to take action, I would not be able to guarantee anything.

Only a peerless expert at the Nascent Soul Realm level like the sect leader could completely suppress this boy!

"Tianfeng is right. This boy cannot be treated as an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator."

"We must attach great importance to this."

"There is no time to lose. I will head to Yanjing City now and kill this brat as quickly as possible to avoid any unforeseen circumstances."

Duan Tianmin gave Hua Tianfeng an approving look and said solemnly.

After saying that, Duan Tianmin moved and disappeared from Xuan Tian Peak.

"..."

Watching Duan Tianmin leave, Hua Tianfeng had a vague sense of foreboding.

"No way?"

Is this kid really that difficult to deal with?

Hua Tianfeng's expression was uncertain. He felt that he had been cautious enough in asking Duan Tianmin to come out of seclusion to deal with Li Jing.

However, his ominous premonition continued to deepen.

"No, it's better to leave sooner rather than later. I must leave Xuantian Sect immediately."

Hua Tianfeng felt increasingly uneasy. After returning to Yaori Peak, he summoned a disciple of the Xuantian Sect, arranged a backup plan, and announced that he would be going into seclusion. He was not allowed to leave Yaori Peak until he reached the Nascent Soul Realm, and no one was allowed to disturb his seclusion.

But as night fell, Hua Tianfeng quietly left the Xuan Tian Sect.

Midnight (11 PM - 1 AM).

There are few stars at night.

The Ninth Prince's residence, main hall.

Qian Sanqian, the head of the Yan Kingdom branch of Wanbaoge, led Mu Yunfei, the Supreme Elder of Wanbaoge, and Feng Tiansheng, the head of Wanbaoge, into the hall.

The two of them rushed over from the main branch of Wanbaoge as quickly as possible.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Mu Yunfei and the other two bowed respectfully to Li Jing.

"No need for such formalities."

Li Jing waved his hand and said to Mu Yunfei and the other two.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Mu Yunfei and the other two expressed their gratitude.

"Mu Yunfei, between you and Feng Tiansheng, who will enter the court of my Yan Kingdom and serve as the Minister of Revenue?"

Li Jing said calmly.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell who had the stronger aura, Mu Yunfei or Feng Tiansheng.

Mu Yunfei is at the fifth level of the Cave Heaven Realm, while Feng Tiansheng is at the first level.

"Your Highness, we have discussed this matter and it has been decided that I will enter the Yan court and serve as the Minister of Revenue."

"The Grand Master will continue to oversee the affairs of the Wanbao Pavilion."

“When I was in Wanbaoge, I always worked behind the scenes, and no one outside of the department ever saw me.”

"Therefore, even if I enter the Yan court, no one will ever know about the relationship between our Yan state and Wanbao Pavilion."

Mu Yunfei cupped his hands in greeting to Li Jing and said, "Your humble servants and I arrived from our Wanbaoge headquarters a step ahead."
