"Is the Penguin Merchant Guild trying to start a war with us?!"
The Fujiwara Family Head had thrown his composure and manners to the back of his mind, his face twisted with hysteria.
The Baharuth Empire had temporarily withdrawn from the Central Plains. Penguin had only just taken over Beiyang's foundations—shouldn't they be taking this chance to expand their influence, strengthen their control, and secure their own interests?
Where would they find the energy to stir up more trouble?
Ever since news of Xu Yue's appearance had arrived, everyone had unanimously believed that he had merely come on Penguin's behalf to establish a branch.
No one had ever imagined that he had come to cause trouble!
But what the hell was this Advanced Military Formation?
Did one need to bring such a rare strategic weapon just to open a branch?
The difference between a basic military formation and an advanced military formation was like the difference between tactical nuclear weapons and strategic nuclear weapons!
"Perhaps this will be a rather heavy blow to you..."
Xu Fu sighed faintly from the side.
"But as a senior from the upper realm, I must tell you..."
"He didn't use a military formation."
His tone was calm, but it sent a bone-chilling dread through the Fujiwara Family Head's heart.
He hadn't used a military formation?
He had withstood his enhanced military formation head-on without suffering the slightest injury, all without using one?
No—he had even blocked an upper-realm senior whose power was in no way inferior to his own military formation!
The Fujiwara Family Head's worldview and reason kept roaring at him, telling him it was fake, that it was impossible.
Yet the truth left him unable to find any reason for a senior from his own camp to deceive him at a time
