She wasn't doing it entirely for her sister—these aliens were there to assassinate Su Qingfeng's daughter, Su Yan. Song Yuhua would become Su Yan's aunt in the future, and for Su Yan and her sister's sake, she had to kill this man as well.

"Qing'er, let's go deal with that alien race."

"it is good."

Fang Yeyu tensed up. He hadn't expected the situation to turn out this way: his subordinates were being subdued one after another, and even the Grandmaster he had invited was being surrounded and killed. Seeing that the Grandmaster was already injured, he feared he wouldn't last long.

The two women who had come to his rescue were both grandmaster-level experts, especially the woman in white, whose strength surpassed his. Fang Yeyu knew he was likely doomed this time—if his master hadn't come to his rescue, he would probably have died at the hands of these two women.

Without a word, Song Yuhua and Bai Qing'er drew their weapons and attacked Fang Yeyu. Seeing their fierce approach, Fang Yeyu had no choice but to brace himself and meet them head-on. He knew he was no match for the two women working together, but he didn't want his master to see his cowardice, otherwise his master might really abandon him.

"Am I seeing things? How did my sister become a Grandmaster?" Song Yuzhi, who had been worried about her sister Song Yuhua's safety, was stunned to see her fighting the alien man to a standstill. Her sister had actually reached the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm? Just half a month ago, her sister was clearly inferior to her; how could she have suddenly become a Grandmaster?

Kou Zhong, watching Song Yuhua and Bai Qing'er fight the alien, said, "You're not mistaken, your sister is indeed a mid-stage Grandmaster, and that woman in white is a peak Grandmaster. This time, that alien will probably not escape death."

Hearing Kou Zhong's words, Song Yuzhi was even more astonished and suspicious. In just half a month, her sister had broken through to the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm—this change was truly unbelievable. She couldn't help but guess that perhaps it was with the help of Wu Xiangjun, Su Qingfeng, that her sister's cultivation had soared. But how exactly did Su Qingfeng manage to do that? The Grandmaster realm wasn't easily attained. Could he possess some extraordinary treasure? Thinking of this, Song Yuzhi secretly pondered: should she also seek out Wu Xiangjun and ask him to help her break through to the Grandmaster realm?

Meanwhile, in a meditation room at Jingnian Temple, the masters from Jingnian Temple and Cihang Jingzhai stood respectfully, looking at an old monk seated on the throne.

Upon hearing the report about the Yue Ma Bridge incident in Luoyang, the Heavenly Monk's aged face remained expressionless, though a slight tremor in his brow revealed the turmoil within. He pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, his voice hoarse: "The matter of Yue Ma Bridge is none of the concern of Jingnian Temple and Cihang Jingzhai. Now that Qin Mengyao and Jin Bingyun have entered the Dugu Manor, they should soon be able to bewitch Lord Wu Xiang and persuade him to withdraw his troops stationed at Yue Ma Bridge. Our goal remains the Evil Emperor's Relic in Yang Gong's Treasure Vault—we must obtain it this time."

"I will obey the ancestor's command."

"I will follow the instructions of the holy monk."

The people from both factions responded in unison.

The Heavenly Monk turned his gaze to Liao Chen and instructed him, "Liao Chen, you bear a heavy responsibility on this trip to Yang Gong's Treasure Vault. The Demonic Sect will never sit idly by while we obtain the Evil Emperor's Relic, and the Evil King Shi Zhixuan has already arrived in Luoyang. You must join forces with the four great monks to eliminate Shi Zhixuan at all costs."

Liao Chen nodded after hearing what the monk had said. He had been meditating in seclusion for decades, so he had naturally heard of the name of the Evil King Shi Zhixuan, but had never fought him.

The four holy monks of Jingnian Temple had fought against Shi Zhixuan before, but they had failed to defeat him. Liaochen knew that he probably couldn't kill Shi Zhixuan by himself, but with the four holy monks joining forces this time, the evil king would likely not escape this calamity.

The Cihang Jingzhai group was now in an awkward position. Among the hundred or so people who had come to Luoyang, there were no top experts; the strongest was only at the Grandmaster level. If they were to truly face Shi Zhixuan, it would be tantamount to throwing their lives away. These nuns couldn't help but feel ashamed.

In the secret prison of the Dugu Mansion,

Su Qingfeng and Shi Qingxuan were questioning Yan Jing'an. Su Qingfeng had come to see if Yan Jing'an would reveal more secrets about Di Ni after learning of his two disciples' arrival.

Su Qingfeng looked at Yan Jing'an's gloomy face and knew that she must be furious—the nun had actually arranged for her two disciples to be fed to the tiger, how could she not be angry?

But Su Qingfeng didn't care whether she was angry or not.

"Nun Yan, now you understand the situation. Your disciple has indeed come to me as you predicted. Shouldn't you tell me some more secrets about the Cihang Jingzhai nunnery?"

Yan Jing'an glared at Su Qingfeng. Couldn't this bastard see that she was burning with anger?

Although she had guessed that Di Ni would send her disciple Qin Mengyao to bewitch Wu Xiangjun, she did not expect that another disciple would also be sent, and even that they would bring fierce weapons to control Wu Xiangjun. This was truly sending her disciple into the tiger's mouth.

Yan Jing'an let out a heavy sigh and said angrily to Su Qingfeng:

"Cihang Jingzhai has some connection with the Great Yuan's [Demon Master Palace]. If nothing unexpected happens, Pang Ban of the Demon Master Palace may come to help Cihang Jingzhai."

"Pang Ban? Yan Jing'an, do you know Pang Ban?"

Upon hearing this name, Su Qingfeng looked up at Yan Jing'an.

In the original story, Pang Ban was infatuated with Yan Jing'an. Not only did Yan Jing'an allow him to live in seclusion for decades, but she also sent her disciple Jin Bingyun to Pang Ban's side. This woman is quite cunning, and Su Qingfeng wanted to know whether she and Pang Ban had a past connection.

"I don't know him."

Yan Jing'an didn't understand why Wu Xiangjun asked such a question, but seeing the strange look in his eyes, as if he were sizing up a poisonous woman, she felt even more annoyed.

Su Qingfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when Yan Jing'an said he didn't know Pang Ban. Since they were no longer acquainted, there would be no more entanglements between Yan Jing'an and Pang Ban in the future, and Jin Bingyun would no longer need to sacrifice herself to help Pang Ban cultivate the "Dao Xin Seed Demon Technique".

"It's good that you don't know me. Nun Yan, what is Pang Ban's current cultivation level?"

Yan Jing'an looked at Su Qingfeng with a puzzled expression.

"It's good that you don't know him?" What does that mean? What is her relationship with Pang Ban? Why did Su Qingfeng react this way when she heard that she didn't know Pang Ban?

She thought and thought, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Land-based immortals of the Celestial Realm..."

"Su Qingfeng, Pang Ban is a terrestrial immortal of the Celestial Realm, so why am I only a Grandmaster?"

Su Qingfeng was shocked upon hearing this. Pang Ban had actually entered the Celestial Realm; this was far too absurd. According to the original trajectory, Pang Ban's cultivation should not have been so much higher than Yan Jing'an's, yet now they were a whole realm apart—how could the world have become like this?

Seeing that Su Qingfeng seemed to have a look of disdain, Yan Jing'an immediately said angrily:

"So what if I'm a Grandmaster? I'm far superior to your lover, Fan Qinghui! You complain about my low cultivation level, but do you know that Fan Qinghui is nothing but trash in my eyes?"

Su Qingfeng had a headache.

When have I ever looked down on you? What on earth is going on in this nun's head?

Now, another enemy has joined the ranks of the Celestial Realm, Pang Ban. This man's temperament is even more unpredictable than Shi Zhixuan's, and he must not be allowed to live.

Perhaps Zhao Min has a way to deal with Pang Ban. Her father is the Grand Marshal of the Yuan Dynasty's army; no matter how powerful Pang Ban is, he wouldn't dare to offend him easily. Zhao Min's father must have many skilled warriors under his command, such as Li Chimei…

But then she thought, distant water can't quench immediate thirst. Time was of the essence, and it was still unknown whether Zhao Min could mobilize her father's resources.

Just as I was pondering this, a bodyguard rushed over to report:

"Your Majesty, the Princess has been attacked at the Yue Ma Bridge Restaurant!"

Su Qingfeng suddenly stood up: "Su Yan was attacked?"

"Yes, the princess was assassinated in the restaurant. Lady Xue Nu has led her men to her rescue, and the guards at Yue Ma Bridge have also surrounded the restaurant."

"Send another 50,000 city guards there, along with all the siege crossbowmen and archers!"

"Yes, sir!"

Su Qingfeng was extremely anxious, wishing he could fly to the restaurant immediately. But thinking that Xue Nu had already gone to meet him, and that Su Yan should be alright, he suppressed his anxiety and sat down, pondering who was so bold as to attempt to assassinate his daughter in Luoyang.

Shi Qingxuan gently comforted her:

"Su Qingfeng, don't worry too much. Xue Nu and the others have all gone, Su Yan will be fine."

"Qingxuan, this matter is not simple. Those who dared to openly attack Su Yan in Luoyang must have powerful backers. Nun Yan, were those people accomplices hired by your Cihang Jingzhai?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of any dealings between Dini and the ** people."

"If it's not Cihang Jingzhai, then it must be the Li Clan. The Li Clan has foreign blood, and Jinyang is close to the capital. These people from the capital must have been invited by the Li Clan."

Yan Jing'an didn't believe Su Qingfeng's words. Although the Li clan had foreign blood, they were now people of the Central Plains. If they really colluded with foreign tribes, they would find it difficult to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. The Li clan should not destroy its own foundation.

Seeing Su Qingfeng's cold expression, she dared not argue. As a prisoner, if she accidentally offended him, her future would likely be difficult.

Su Qingfeng looked up at Yan Jing'an. This nun was a Grandmaster, and he currently had no Grandmasters around him—Murong Qiudi, Zhu Yuyan, and others were still in seclusion. Those people reminded Su Qingfeng of Martial Venerable Bi Xuan. If Bi Xuan himself arrived, his men would likely be no match for him.

Su Qingfeng wanted to ask Yan Jing'an for help this time, but he was worried that if she made a move, Cihang Jingzhai would know about her betrayal, which made him hesitate.

Yan Jing'an became nervous when she saw Su Qingfeng staring at her. This bastard was a lecherous man; if he made a move on her, she would rather die than let him succeed.

"What are you looking at, you idiot? Don't you dare lay a finger on me!"

Su Qingfeng was speechless when he saw her looking like she was afraid of being violated.

What's going on here? Does he really have that kind of wickedness? Now that his daughter is in trouble, how could he possibly be thinking about doing something like that?

Su Qingfeng felt that this nun was indeed not quite right.

He stopped thinking about it and said seriously to Yan Jing'an:

"Yan Jing'an, we need your help this time. The one coming from the ** side might be Martial Venerable Bi Xuan, and my men can't handle him. Your Grandmaster status will come in handy."

Yan Jing'an immediately shook her head and refused: "I cannot show myself. If Cihang Jingzhai discovers my betrayal, Di Ni will never let me go, and I will surely die."

Su Qingfeng walked to her side and gently advised, "Don't worry, the area is already surrounded by our troops. I never intended to leave any survivors. You can also disguise yourself; no one will recognize you."

Looking at Wu Xiangjun's appearance, Yan Jing'an felt utterly helpless. Where was the aristocratic demeanor in this man? Although she might not be exposed according to his arrangements, she simply couldn't swallow the thought of helping him like this—she had been imprisoned by this guy for quite some time.

"Ha, why should I help you? Don't forget, I'm still your prisoner. Lord Wu Xiang, are you mistaken?"

Su Qingfeng realized that Yan Jing'an wanted to gain benefits, but he had nothing to offer at the moment. The situation in the restaurant was unclear, and he didn't want to wait any longer; he only hoped to persuade Yan Jing'an as soon as possible so he could rush to rescue Su Yan.
