The Governor Must Die! The True Cangyue Demon Saint!

Cao Xuan stood tall in the air, his hands clasped behind his back.

Seeing Jiang Bei fall silent, he assumed his intimidation had worked.

His tone immediately softened somewhat as he continued with a hint of condescension, "This official keeps his word. Release Jun'er, and follow this official to split your soul..."

The next moment, just as everyone believed Jiang Bei would inevitably submit beneath such overwhelming authority—even Cao Jun had begun to straighten his back, smugness returning to his eyes—

In an instant, he appeared before that phantom and unleashed a devastating slash with the Heaven-Robbing Saber!

"Rumble—!!!"

Holy Light blanketed the sky as an earth-shaking roar erupted.

In the final instant before the phantom completely vanished, reflected in Provincial Governor Cao Xuan's dignified eyes was—
