Master of Martial Arts, please enjoy a drunken revelry in the martial world.

"You mean, my godfather might succeed?"

Duan Tianya exclaimed in surprise.

"The Divine Marquis controls a huge intelligence network, and you and I both know what's in that network."

Whether it's a general guarding the border or a magistrate governing a county, the Dragon Guard Manor is their private domain.

If the Marquis uses these private matters to blackmail these people, it will be difficult for them not to support him.

As a result, the emperor had very few people he could use.

In fact, the only people the emperor could use over the years were the Eastern Depot, the Western Depot, and the Six Doors. Recently, the Six Doors have been added to the list.

The emperor did not have strong control over the remaining people.

How much of a chance do you think he has?

Judging from the current situation, at least, the Divine Marquis has the upper hand.

"But in the end, the Divine Marquis could not stand on the side of righteousness."

"The greater good is only important when things are going to get serious. When it comes to actually fighting, who cares about the greater good?"

The world has always been won by those with strong armies and powerful horses.

We should both understand this principle.

No matter what, the Divine Marquis also has the status of royalty.

His usurpation of the throne also had a certain degree of legitimacy.

Duan Tianya fell silent.

"In short, I don't intend to get involved in this, and whether you participate or not is none of my business."

Considering our childhood friendship, I can only advise you to think it over.

What is it that you truly want?

After Guihai Yidao finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Duan Tianya to turn around.

Duan Tianya stood still, simply watching Gui Haiyidao's departing figure.

"Why did it suddenly become like this?"

Duan Tianya murmured to himself, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

My respected godfather and childhood friend, who were like brothers to me, have suddenly become the most familiar strangers.

For a moment, Duan Tianya felt that the world was vast, but he had nowhere to settle down.

It was a sense of desolation.

A leaf fell from the tree and landed on Duan Tianya's head.

He gently removed it, and saw that its leaf veins were intact, but had turned somewhat yellow.

Duan Tianya threw it down and looked into the distance.

"Let's take it one step at a time. I hope I can change all of this."

Duan Tianya muttered to himself as he returned to the Dragon Guard Manor to continue his investigation.

If possible, he still wants to see Haitang and talk about her feelings.

Meanwhile, in a valley a thousand miles away.

Gu Qianbei followed Haitang into the place where she used to practice martial arts.

With its beautiful mountains and clear waters, birdsong and fragrant flowers, this is truly a wonderful place.

Although its natural conditions are not as good as the secluded paradise of Kunlun Mountain, this place has been well-maintained and exudes elegance everywhere.

"This place looks like it's inhabited; it's not deserted. It seems your master has returned."

Gu Qianbei said slowly.

A hint of excitement also appeared in Haitang's eyes.

"Yes! I haven't seen my master in a long time. I wonder how he is doing."

As Haitang finished speaking, she called out into the valley, "Master! It's me, Haitang! Are you home?"

Upon hearing this, the valley seemed to suddenly fall silent.

"Now that you've completed your apprenticeship, why come back?"

A very young voice came from the valley, sounding to be only in his twenties or thirties.

But it is said that the Master Without Trace is at least fifty or sixty years old.

"Your disciple is about to travel to Daliang and is passing through this place, so I have come here to pay my respects to my master."

Haitang channeled her inner strength and spoke loudly.

“Eh…”

The voice of the Unmarked Young Master came again, but this time it carried a hint of doubt.

"Your internal energy has changed. You've relearned the internal energy cultivation method? And this method is very similar to our martial arts."

What did you do?

The Unmarked Young Master actually recognized from the sound that Haitang's internal strength was different from before, which was quite astonishing.

"To be honest, Master, I had lost all my internal energy before, so I started to cultivate the Northern Darkness Divine Art again."

"Northern Darkness Divine Art!"

The voice of the Unmarked Young Master was extremely surprised.

The next moment, a young man in white suddenly flew out of the valley and landed in front of Haitang.

Only then did Gu Qianbei get a clear look at the famous Wuhen Gongzi.

Dressed in flowing white robes, she resembled an immortal.

Needless to say, his face was exceptionally handsome.

What surprised Gu Qianbei the most was his cultivation level.

He was actually a Celestial Realm expert!

Although it was only at the early stage of the Celestial Realm, it was still quite astonishing.

The Unmarked Young Master took Haitang's pulse, and his expression of surprise deepened.

"It really is the Northern Darkness Divine Art! Where did you learn it from? Could it be that you've met your master?"

"Young Master Wuhen asked in surprise."

"No, Master. I am not fortunate enough to have met my grandmaster. This internal skill was given to me by Qianbei."

Wuhen Gongzi naturally didn't know who Qianbei was, but following Haitang's gaze, he saw Gu Qianbei.

Upon seeing this, he was even more surprised.

He had been focusing his attention on Haitang and hadn't noticed that there was someone else with her.

Upon seeing Gu Qianbei, he was greatly alarmed.

Because he discovered that he couldn't see through Gu Qianbei's cultivation level.

Looking at how young he is, could his cultivation level be even higher than mine?

This was hard for the Flawless Young Master to believe.

Although there are many martial arts techniques in this world that can help people stay young forever, they only affect appearance and cannot hide what's in their eyes.

Wuhen Gongzi could tell that Gu Qianbei's eyes were still quite clear, which meant that the other party was not very old, unlike him, who was only young because of his cultivation technique.

"Are you perhaps a member of the Free and Unfettered Sect?"

Gu Qianbei shook his head slightly, then cupped his hands and said, "I am Gu Qianbei, greetings to Senior Wuhen."

I am merely a winemaker; I obtained this Northern Darkness Divine Art from a cave at the foot of Mount Wuliang.

Later, I became friends with the current leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, and we have a very good relationship.

Therefore, after learning that Haitang was also a successor of Xiaoyaozi, I took it upon myself to pass on this internal skill to him.

My friend wouldn't care about such a small thing.

After listening to Gu Qianbei's account, Wuhen Gongzi became even more astonished.

I never imagined there were so many coincidences in this world.

"What a coincidence! Seeing how close you and Haitang are, are you lovers?"

"Young Master Wuhen asked."

Haitang blushed slightly; Gu Qianbei was openly admitting it.

"good."

"Hahaha! Good! This is a good thing."

But Haitang, how could you have lost all your internal energy? What exactly happened?

Your cultivation level is only at the Innate Realm, so why do you still want to go to Daliang?

Could it be that the Iron-Blooded Marquis sent you on a mission?

"You're already like this, and he still sends you on a mission? Isn't that incredibly cruel!"

As Wuhen Gongzi spoke, he looked at Haitang again and frowned upon noticing her current cultivation level.

This Zhu Wushi is truly domineering!

For a martial artist to lose all their internal energy is an extremely dangerous situation. To use Haitang to complete a mission at this time shows a complete lack of humanity.

Haitang looked somber and slowly said, "Master, all my internal energy was drained by Shenhou."

Wuhen Gongzi's pupils shrank instantly.

"What a Zhu Wushi! How could he be so cold-blooded and ruthless!"
