As the countdown to the New Book Selection was about to end, Zhang Yu had already prepared to make his escape.
"Although I currently hold the identity of a diplomatic envoy of the Myriad Laws Sect and should be protected by the relevant Law Articles, old Ascension Realm cultivators like Bai Gusheng and Yuan Sheng might have ways to deal with me. Especially since Yuan Sheng is a local power of the Immortal Soldier Mansion..."
To avoid complications, Zhang Yu had activated the power of the Immortal Grotto-Heaven long ago, ensuring that he could withdraw at the first opportunity.
As for Liu Qianxian, Zhang Yu could only wish her luck.

Bai Gusheng said regretfully, "Alas, we missed today's opportunity. He got away ahead of time... What a pity, what a pity."
Yuan Sheng wore an expression of bitter anguish. "Hmph, that brat ran fast..."
On the other side, Liu Qianxian had observed the entire New Book Selection process, and she was secretly astonished. "Is it really that powerful? The 'Feather Scroll' actually let Zhang Yu win this New Book Selection?"
In Liu Qianxian's eyes, Zhang Yu's cultivation and assets naturally fell short of Yuan Sheng and Bai Gusheng's. The greatest possibility was that he had won this New Book Selection because of the "Feather Scroll."
"As expected of the foremost of the Four Books..."
