When his voice fell, it was like a hammer striking the heart. Also like thunder at noon.Everyone gaped upon hearing it. If a swarm of flies attacked, they could probably make nests in every dropped jaw.Zhuge Liang's face flushed red with anger, and he could no longer tolerate those words. "You will regret this, because my Uncle is Imperial General Xue, Xue Xufan!""Too much talk!" Chen Nian said loudly. He didn't care as long as his identity remained unknown. So, why worry? Besides, he could hide easily. Chen Nian closed his eyes briefly and sent out a sensing trace. When he found no hidden guards protecting Zhuge Liang, he would act without hesitation.A sword gleaming under the moonlight could be seen as the masked youth wielded it. He spun in the air with a swing of the sword, and the next second, a sharp beam of light appeared in the thin air, creating ripples and a shockwave. It was extremely fast. Given the distance between Zhuge Liang and the masked man, it was certain Zhuge

"Where is Young Master Zhuge Liang? Did anyone see him?!" the commander of the arriving squad asked everyone. He had received orders from his superior to assist Zhuge Liang against someone who wanted to punish him.The crowd quickly dispersed, not wanting to stay there to be questioned by Imperial officers. There was no benefit and it was just a waste of time, they thought.The common people are indeed very realistic about the situation. For them, once the swimmer has drowned, there will be no justice.But they also shouldn't cling to the concept of justice. Why? The world of cultivators is a cruel world where the strong trample the weak. They understood this clearly, so they chose to stay away."Hey, why are you dispersing? Why can't you cooperate with us?!" the commander shouted.But they didn't care and kept leaving. Perhaps if a high-ranking Imperial official had come, the story would be different. But if it was just a commander, then it wasn't worth their time.Four people remain

"Meanwhile, in an inn different from the previous one, two people were conversing calmly in a room with two beds. They were Chen Nian and a rather old man.After the fight, he had immediately sought an inn to avoid pursuit. Fortunately, no powerful opponents had appeared at that time, allowing him to escape.In his opinion, he was very lucky to have concealed his identity with the mask as a disguise. Besides, he was new to the Imperial Capital. So, the chances of anyone recognizing him were very slim.Chen Nian had also informed his teacher, Fu Xi, not to worry about his situation.The old man, named Su Man, waved his hand. A scroll floated in the air, wrapped with a golden ribbon. Chen Nian watched it, his curiosity growing rapidly. He approached Su Man with a question."Excuse me, Elder, what exactly is that scroll? It just looks beautiful, and it makes me very curious!" Chen Nian smiled and sat on the edge of Su Man's bed. There was no awkwardness between them, as they were clearly

A figure emerged, dressed in full, gleaming regalia that reflected the morning sunlight."Welcome, General Xue Xufan!" exclaimed all who saw him.Xue Xufan waved his hand while nodding. He then waited at the entrance as people lined up. They knew the General's arrival must be related to the search warrant he now held for the inn.Zhuge Hai and Zhuge Zirman also arrived."Greetings, Father-in-law! Brother!" Xue Xufan greeted the two men who had arrived slightly late."I'm glad you came, Son-in-law. This is very important, as this is the only inn left unsearched. But we cannot act rashly because this is the Prince's property!""We'd better go in, Father! If he realizes, he might escape. Although the chance is slim!""You're right, we've wasted enough time already!" Zhuge Hai said immediately and stepped forward with Xue Xufan. Although Xue Xufan was just a son-in-law to him, Zhuge Hai treated him very well, considering it was the General who had elevated his clan to new heights.Otherwi

The attack released by the Salamander was incredibly strong and fierce. However, it was also hit by Chen Nian's unavoidable arrows. Despite its agility and ability to destroy two arrows, it only had two heads, while three arrows were aimed at it with perfect control.He had now understood the weapon control technique from the manual given by Fu Xi, meant to complement the All-Severing Sword. So he infused Qi into one of the arrows and controlled it remotely, which the Salamander didn't anticipate, and it was hit hard.Both beasts were thrown quite far away.Several pairs of eyes watched the battle from the bushes. They were shocked by the attack that could corner the dual-attribute Salamander."He is very skilled in battle. He looks very young and can already enter this Spiritual Field. He must have a strong soul.""You are absolutely right. In this place, only those with strong souls can hold power. I never expected a young man to possess one.""This place is indeed excellent for tem
