As expected, Li Chang'an used the Shaoshang Sword, the strongest of the Six Meridians Divine Swords, and a powerful sword aura shot straight out more than ten feet away!

Using other martial arts techniques, Li Chang'an's true energy could only extend three zhang outwards, but with the powerful Six Meridian Divine Sword, there was no such limitation.

The spy from the Surveillance Bureau in the distance had only just witnessed Li Chang'an and Wu Zhu fighting.

Before they could even determine the two people's cultivation levels, they felt a surge of true energy rushing towards them, and in the next instant, their heads were completely shattered.

Li Chang'an said with satisfaction, "Wu Zhu, let's call it a day."

The effects of Yi Jin Jing and Bei Ming Zhen Qi have been sufficiently verified today.

The powerful Northern Darkness True Qi protects the body and can neutralize most of the damage. The blue-level Floating Pagoda of the Five Cycles of Yi Jin Jing can withstand close-range piercing attacks.

Even Wu Zhu's full-force attack was blocked by Li Chang'an.

The movement speed of Lingbo Weibu and the attack speed of Tianshan Zhemei Shou are no weaker than Wu Zhu's.

But Wu Zhu shook his head. "No, you have a weakness. I can defeat you."

"Your footwork is very fast, but it consumes a lot of internal energy."

"Your inner energy is very strong, but it will also consume a lot of your inner energy after being hit."

"Although your internal energy is far stronger than Ye Zhong and Yun Zhilan's."

But if you and I continue fighting, your inner energy will eventually run out.

"And I... don't need true energy!"

As Wu Zhu spoke, he launched another attack.

He hadn't met a worthy opponent in a long time, and now that he had encountered Li Chang'an, who was his equal, how could he let him go so easily?

Wu Zhu was instantly close in, and Li Chang'an used the perfected Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, which instantly enveloped Wu Zhu in a large number of palm shadows.

"Kengkengkengkeng..."

The palm and the steel rod collided repeatedly. The Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, which had used all the weapons in the world, failed to knock the steel rod off Wu Zhu's hand, but it did surprise Wu Zhu.

Amidst a flurry of palm strikes, Li Chang'an suddenly unleashed Yang Ge Tianjun's Six Yang Palms of Tianshan!

"Oh!"

The force struck Wu Zhu in the chest, sending him flying back several feet. Another stream of engine oil gushed out!

After the two created some distance between them, Li Chang'an used the Lingbo Weibu technique to launch another attack around Wu Zhu.

Wu Zhu sensed that Li Chang'an was constantly moving and could appear anywhere at any time.

Before long, the two exchanged over a hundred blows!

Li Chang'an's clothes were pierced in several places, and his skin was cut with marks, but no blood was drawn.

Wu Zhu was sprayed with engine oil several times. Li Chang'an guessed it was a high-quality imitation of capillaries, so no matter how much oil he sprayed, he wouldn't die.

Several nearby hills were leveled, leaving the area riddled with potholes and barren, as if it had been bombarded by missiles.

If the two hadn't moved quite a distance while fighting, Lin Gong's grave would have been leveled.

"stop!"

This time, it was Wu Zhu who called a halt because he discovered that Li Chang'an's true energy was not being consumed quickly.

"Your footwork is strange; it can even replenish your true energy."

He thought to himself, "The human body is so cleverly designed; it can even restore one's true energy through martial arts."

Li Chang'an was also very satisfied with the effect of the Lingbo Weibu technique in replenishing his true energy.

He deliberately moved around while attacking, in order to use footwork to recover his true energy.

"Wu Zhu, my cultivation can still improve, but your strength can no longer increase."

"So, given time, I will still be the one to win."

Wu Zhu looked down at the oil all over his body and mechanically shook his head.

"To break through to the Grandmaster level, you need to increase your internal energy and improve your control over it."

"It might take a long time to get over it, unless..."

Wu Zhu wasn't stupid. He certainly wouldn't give Li Chang'an any hints since Li Chang'an didn't know who was friend or foe. But Li Chang'an knew what Wu Zhu was going to say.

His Yi Jin Jing was already very strong. In the sixth cycle, the White Floating Pagoda enhanced his control over true qi. In the seventh cycle, his whole body stored qi, and his true qi exploded.

Although this process is indeed very long, most people will never reach it in their lifetime.

However, Li Chang'an could absolutely do it by cultivating the system's techniques.

"Are you saying that unless I can see the Grandmaster-level martial arts techniques flowing from the temple, is that right?"

"Don't worry, I'll see."

Wu Zhu felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but frown. "You're a troublesome opponent."

With his hands behind his back, Li Chang'an took Wu Zhu's evaluation as a form of affirmation.

"Wu Zhu, if any member of the Lin family dies at your hands, I will definitely kill Fan Xian."

Wu Zhu said confidently, "With me here, you can't kill Fan Xian."

Li Chang'an smiled faintly, "You...there will always be times when you're not around."

Wu Zhu's heart skipped a beat. He was indeed absent at times; Ye Qingmei's death was due to his absence.

When Li Chang'an said this, it meant that he was going to support the Lin family.

Lin Ruofu could act recklessly against Fan Xian in the imperial court, and even directly assassinate Fan Xian, but Wu Zhu could not kill him.

This means that Fan Xian's idea of ​​making peace with Lin Ruofu has been shattered.

Wu Zhu mimicked him, saying, "If you dare kill Fan Xian, I'll kill Lin Ruofu's entire family!"

Li Chang'an clapped his hands. "Very good, the agreement is reached."

Since our fighting strength is superior, we should not easily interfere in their conflict.

Having failed to achieve his goal of reconciliation, Wu Zhu could only turn and leave, because he indeed could not kill Li Chang'an.

Li Chang'an approached Lin Ruofu, who knelt down tremblingly.

"Thank you, Grandmaster, for supporting my Lin family!"

When Li Chang'an spoke just now, he deliberately let Lin Ruofu hear it as well.

The implication behind the conversation just now is that this prime minister father and Fan Xian's other four fathers can continue to fight as they please, and Wu Zhu will no longer take action against the Lin family.

Li Chang'an tossed a token to Lin Ruofu. The token depicted a mountain peak with a giant net at its base.

The mountain is Langya Mountain, and the net is Luowang.

"The token isn't for you; it's to help you remember this pattern."

"From now on, you'd better do whatever the person holding the token tells you to do."

"If you receive a letter with this pattern, you must obey the instructions completely."

Lin Ruofu wasn't stupid. There were only four Grandmasters in the world, and even the Ye family, to which Ye Liuyun, the least powerful, belonged, was a prominent clan in the Qing Kingdom.

Whether it's the Grandmaster in the palace or someone who has just entered this realm, this Grandmaster will surely achieve a transcendent status in the future.

Moreover, he dared not disobey the Grandmaster's orders, after all, his son had recently died at the hands of a Grandmaster.

"Grandmaster, I will certainly obey your orders."

Li Chang'an used one hand to try to take the token back from a distance.

However, the token only moved slightly and did not return to Li Chang'an's hands.

Only when one truly enters the Grandmaster realm and achieves a certain level of control over true qi can one possibly manipulate objects from a distance.

Lin Ruofu was utterly astonished when he saw Li Chang'an move his hand and the token in his hand bounce.

To ordinary people, this ability can already be described as "supernatural"!

Lin Ruofu understood perfectly and returned the token, then respectfully bowed his head to accept the order.

Li Chang'an continued, "If you want to oppose Fan Xian, you must first be wary of the Surveillance Bureau. Chen Pingping treats Fan Xian like his own son."

"I will send a ninth-rank expert to secretly protect your safety, which will be enough to handle ordinary dangers."

"Let me tell you something else: Yuan Hongdao is a member of the Overwatch Council."

He first joined Li Yunrui's tutelage, and Li Yunrui then transferred him to your tutelage.

Lin Ruofu thought himself shrewd and calculating, but he never imagined that his most trusted advisor was actually a double agent.

Although it was hard to believe, the grandmaster before him had no reason to deceive him.

Li Chang'an then instructed Lin Ruofu to properly dispose of the body of the Surveillance Bureau spy before leaving.

Lin Ruofu sat blankly in front of Lin Gong's tomb. Thinking of the Grandmaster's words about protecting the safety of the Lin family, his grief over losing his son was somewhat relieved.

He took out the four characters "万鸟归林" (meaning "All birds return to the forest") that Lin Gong had written when he was a child, which he was originally going to burn completely today.

But upon meeting the Grandmaster, a glimmer of hope rekindled within him.

"Gong'er, your father will definitely avenge you."
