Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

With Xia Jin's speed, he quickly toured the Great Qian Imperial City. Based on the various information about the Great Qian royal family and nobles provided by Liu Tongtian, he quickly chose his escape route.

"Next, we'll enter the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and wait for the arrival of Emperor Lu Hao of the Great Qian Dynasty!" Xia Jin arrived at the teahouse opposite the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. While drinking tea, he carefully observed the crowds coming and going. Suddenly, he smiled.

He had already seen the eunuch sneak into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Even though the eunuch had changed into civilian clothes, he still couldn't escape his eyes.

Before the time it takes to drink a cup of tea was up, Duke Zhao Wuji, with a dark expression, stormed out of his residence accompanied by several servants.

"It seems that Liu Tongtian's information was indeed correct. Tonight, Lu Hao is very likely to visit the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!" Xia Jin slowly stood up and put down a silver ingot.

Just as the waiter reached out to take it, he discovered that Xia Jin had already disappeared.

"A ghost... I've encountered a ghost!" He glanced at the still bustling customers around him, grabbed the silver ingot, and hurriedly ran downstairs.

After leaving the teahouse, Xia Jin, with Liu Tongtian's information, spent some money to bribe a steward surnamed Liu in charge of miscellaneous servants at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. She disguised herself as a newly arrived guard and entered the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Sure enough, just past midnight, Xia Jin faintly heard a series of footsteps coming from the direction of the back gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

"They're here!" A glint flashed in Xia Jin's eyes, and she instantly appeared at a corner in the backyard, secretly observing what lay ahead.

At this moment, the entire backyard was deserted, except for two women dressed in magnificent palace attire, their hair piled high in the clouds, waiting quietly to the side. These two were none other than the two concubines of Duke Zhenguo, Zhao Wuji.

Although they had dressed up carefully and looked bright and beautiful, a hint of despair could be seen between their brows.

"Sister!!" The woman in the pink palace dress next to her nervously shook the other person's hand.

"Hold on, consider today as being defiled by a pig! Otherwise, if we anger Lu Hao, not only will we be punished, but our entire Zhenguo Duke's Mansion and our maternal families will be exterminated!" Beside her, another woman with a beauty mark under her eye bit her lip and finally sighed helplessly.

Suddenly, the side door to the backyard, which was usually kept tightly closed, was quietly pushed open, and then a small yellow sedan chair was carried into the courtyard by several sedan chair bearers.

As the sedan curtain was lifted, an elderly man dressed in ordinary clothes slowly walked out. This man was none other than Emperor Lu Hao of the Great Qian Dynasty.

His gaze fell on the two women in front of him, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

Upon seeing Lu Hao, the two dukes' wives exchanged a glance, then hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Welcome, Your Majesty!"

"Eh!" Lu Hao stepped forward with a smile and personally helped the two women up. "Ladies, no need for formalities. It's been quite a while since I last saw you. You two seem to have become even more voluptuous. It's truly made me... miss you."

As he spoke, his arms naturally wrapped around their slender waists, and then he leaned close to their faces and took a deep breath.

"Hmm! Not bad! You smell really good!" Lu Hao was in a great mood. "Where's your new little sister? I've been wanting to meet her for a long time!"

"Your Majesty, Sister Jia is already waiting for you in her room! Please follow me!"

As the figures of the group disappeared into the house ahead, Xia Jin, standing in the corner, revealed a hint of coldness in her eyes.

The fish has finally taken the bait.

He didn't approach any further, but instead concealed his aura, constantly observing the movements inside with his divine sense. However, two copper-colored metal fragments had appeared in his hand without him noticing.

Inside the room, what began as soft teasing and the clinking of glasses gradually mingled with ambiguous breathing and the sounds of clothes slipping off.

Finally, in the instant that a high-pitched moan and a low growl from the man rang out one after the other.

Xia Jin suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, and killing intent rising!

After waiting for so long, this is finally the time!

He suddenly jerked his wrist, and the two bronze fragments in his palm were enveloped in dazzling lightning, like two concentrated bolts of thunder!

"go!"

With a low shout, the fragments transformed into two streams of purple light, shooting straight into the interior!

Almost at the same instant, Xia Jin's figure also disappeared!

Inside the room, the quilt was disheveled, and the two women were unconscious. Lu Hao knelt on the edge of the bed, one hand clutching his abdomen, a look of horror flashing in his eyes.

He never expected that someone would dare to launch a sneak attack on him at his most relaxed and joyful moment in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!

"Who is it?! How dare you harm me!" In his rage, Lu Hao unleashed the overwhelming power of a ninth-level Divine Realm cultivator, instantly shattering the remaining furniture, doors, and windows in the room!

However, he had just sensed an extremely powerful aura rushing in and was about to look up when he noticed it.

He then realized that the other person was only a foot away from him!

Xia Jin was too fast! With the blessing of the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique, she didn't give Lu Hao much time to react.

He grabbed Lu Hao's shoulder, a mocking look on his face!

"Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, you've just finished your hard work, so please rest for me!" Xia Jin pointed to the sky with her other hand.

"Boom—!"

A huge hole burst open in the roof, and a purple lightning bolt as thick as a bucket seemed to fall from the heavens, striking Lu Hao hard!

This is precisely the terrifying aspect of Xia Jin's Divine Firmament Thunder Technique.

Its unparalleled power combined with terrifying speed makes it impossible to defend against.

"Ah!! Bastard, who are you?" Lu Hao let out a miserable scream. Even though his cultivation at the ninth level of the Divine Realm was extremely profound, as long as he was still at the Divine Realm, he could not withstand the head-on bombardment of Xia Jin's Divine Firmament Thunder Technique.

His body showed signs of charring the moment they came into contact.

"If you want to kill me, you'll die too!" His eyes were bloodshot, and under the thunder, he gathered all his true energy and slammed his palms hard into Xia Jin's chest!

"Die? I will only die after you!?" Xia Jin sneered, neither dodging nor avoiding, his skin instantly covered with a layer of light gold—his Vajra Indestructible Body had been activated to its limit!

"Bang!"

With both palms firmly pressed against his chest, Xia Jin's body trembled, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Even though Lu Hao's all-out attack absorbed most of the damage, it still caused shock to his internal organs.

But that's enough!

Xia Jin, who withstood the blow head-on, had an even fiercer look in his eyes, and he suddenly pushed the lightning in his hand to its peak!

Under the continuous bombardment of the lightning pillars, Lu Hao's protective true energy completely collapsed, and electric arcs surged around his body. With a muffled groan, his eyes rolled back, and he finally fainted.

Without pausing, Xia Jin suppressed her injuries, picked up the limp Lu Hao, and transformed into lightning once more, soaring into the sky and disappearing from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion in a few flashes.

The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion behind him had long since been reduced to ruins.

Apart from the three unconscious women he deliberately avoided, everyone else was reduced to ashes.
