"This is... the aura of a Grandmaster?" Zu An and Sun Xun looked into the distance in astonishment.
Dozens of miles away, two people stood in the sky above Yi County. One was an old man wearing a python robe, a garment only princes wore, clearly the Prince of Yan.
Opposite him was a woman of unbelievable beauty, with cascading long hair that reached her hips, exuding a cool and aloof aura.
"Moon in the Clouds!"
"The leader of the Demonic Sect!"
Zuan and Sun Xun both recognized each other.
Just then, the alarm bell rang, and a guard rushed over to report: "Prime Minister, it seems that members of the Demonic Sect have broken into the Prince's residence to assassinate the Prince."
Sun Xun's expression changed drastically: "Quickly, go back and support the Prince!"
Then he said to Zu'an and the others, "Gentlemen, please go back first. I'm sorry I can't see you off."
At this moment, Zu'an said, "I'll go too."
Seeing the other party's surprised look, he hurriedly explained, "As an official of the Great Zhou, it is only natural to do my part at this time. Besides, I had a lot of dealings with these demonic cultists in the capital, and there is still a score to settle."
He was worried that Yun Jianyue and Qiu Honglei might run into trouble, after all, Yi County was the territory of the Prince of Yan, and the Prince of Yan not only had many experts under his command, but he himself was also a Grandmaster.
He was somewhat puzzled. Yun Jianyue shouldn't be such a reckless and impulsive person. Why would she do something so unwise?
However, he immediately thought that since they had even dared to break into the imperial palace before, the Prince of Yan's mansion seemed to be nothing.
"Brother!" Gao Ying and Pei You hurriedly tried to dissuade them. This was a feud between the Prince of Yan's Mansion and the Demonic Sect, and it had nothing to do with the delegation. If Grandmasters were fighting, wouldn't it be suicide if you went over and got even a little bit of the aftermath?
"You two go back and inform Lord Sang first. I'll go check on the situation. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Zu An instructed. Yun Jianyue didn't know these two people, and he was worried that they might be affected because of him.
Gao Ying and Pei You knew he was usually calm and collected, so they didn't try to persuade him any further: "Alright, we'll come over together after we find Lord Sang. Remember not to act impulsively."
Zu An nodded and followed Sun Xun and his group into the city, praying in his heart: Sister Yun, Hong Lei, please don't let anything happen to you.

I ran into Mars last night and asked him why he stopped updating. I initially thought he was experiencing writer's block, but it turns out he wasn't. He had the plot planned out long ago; he just sometimes has very high standards for himself, and he'd rather not write a story than be 100% satisfied with it. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it. If you're looking for something to read because of my slow updates, you can check out Mars's books. I used to really enjoy reading his work, but I probably don't need to introduce him.
