Upon hearing this, the Square Circle Domain Lord immediately understood. Grand Marshal Xuanji's arrival had to be directly connected to Fan Lang.
After all, the Military Official Faction and the Civil Official Faction were separate factions. If Grand Marshal Xuanji meddled in this matter, things would become even more complicated.
The Square Circle Domain Lord made a swift decision and shouted, "Sign it and seal it at once!"
With a sweep of his hand, he unleashed boundless pressure that bore down upon Lu Qingqing, intending to force her to sign.
With Lu Qingqing's own strength alone, she certainly could not withstand the pressure of an Upper God. Fortunately, the Crimson Rainbow War General was by her side and proved useful at this moment.
"Do not harm my master!" the Crimson Rainbow War General roared, raising his blade before Lu Qingqing. Formation after formation blossomed across the blade, resisting the overwhelming pressure descending from above.
The Crimson Rainbow War General was now automatically protecting his master. Whenever his master faced danger, he would act even without receiving an order. This was a rule embedded in his core.
The clash of two powerful forces erupted with a thunderous boom. The defensive barrier in the study activated, blocking the violent shockwave and bathing the entire room in a faint curtain of light.
Without that barrier, the whole room would have collapsed from the impact.
"How dare you! You actually dare raise a hand against me? This is an unforgivable crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations!" The Square Circle Domain Lord flew into a rage, as though he had found the perfect pretext. He became even more unscrupulous and launched another attack with a raised hand. This time, it was more than mere pressure.
An interwoven chessboard materialized out of thin air
