In mid-air, Xiao Xuezhu was struggling to fend off the attacks of the three, and wounds were beginning to appear on her body. She couldn't help but blame Tang Yilun and Gongyang Zhuang in her heart: Why haven't they arrived yet?
It turns out that the reason Xiao Xuezhu stayed at home during this period was entirely to lure the Moonfall Sect and the Zheng Family away from their stronghold so that they could make their move.
If Xiao Xuezhu can stall for a while, they will arrive. At that time, the National Preceptor's Mansion will join forces to eliminate them.
In reality, this is a power struggle between the Confucian school and the National Preceptor's Mansion, using the Moonfall Sect and the Zheng Family as pawns.
Because the Confucian school has always been concerned that if a war breaks out in the city, too many innocent people will be harmed, they have not taken direct action, but instead have used other means to suppress the Moonfall Sect and the Zheng Family.
In fact, the Confucian school's intention was to force the Moonfall Sect and the Zheng Family out of Sky City, and then wipe them all out.
As a result, it seems that the Moonfall Sect and the Zheng Family are determined to fight the Confucian School to the death, and they haven't taken any action.
The National Preceptor's Mansion, however, had no such concerns and instead kept urging the Confucian school to take action as soon as possible.
Luring them to the Xiao residence before taking action is to minimize harm to innocent people, since there are no ordinary civilians near where Xiao Xuezhu lives.
Upon receiving Wei Wei's telepathic message, Fu Yunyue was momentarily stunned. She immediately shouted, "Go all out! We've fallen into a trap! There's no one down there!"
Then, Fu Yunyue pointed her sword, and a primordial energy Illusory Transformation appeared behind Xiao Xuezhu, wielding a sword, and thrust it towards Xiao Xuezhu.
Fu Yunyue then flew up directly and used the move "Dark Cloud Moonfall" to pierce Xiao Xuezhu's front.
Zheng Xueyi was to Xiao Xuezhu's left, and with a move of "Snowflake Sky," he created points of sword light that shot towards Xiao Xuezhu's left rib.
Tian Zhu's approach was even simpler; he launched a powerful punch directly at Xiao Xuezhu's right side.
"Ah!" Xiao Xuezhu let out a miserable cry. It turned out that Xiao Xuezhu only had time to block Fu Yunyue's frontal attack and suffered three attacks in succession.
Immediately, Xiao Xuezhu's aura weakened, and her body was covered in blood. If she did not receive timely treatment, her chances of survival would be slim.
"You scoundrel, stop your arrogance!" The auras of three Grandmaster finally arrived.
As soon as Fu Yunyue sensed the auras of three Grandmaster rapidly approaching, she delivered another sword strike to Xiao Xuezhu, then instantly vanished from the battle.
Without even checking whether the additional sword strike had any effect, he sent a telepathic message to Wei Wei, instructing him to lead his men and retreat first.
She simply vanished in a flash.
When Fu Yunyue left, Zheng Xueyi had already left the place earlier than Fu Yunyue.
He was the first to sense the approaching auras of three Grandmaster, so he immediately flashed away and ran off.
As for the four junior masters and elders of the Zheng family, Zheng Xueyi had already given instructions before they came.
They should decide for themselves and withdraw from Sky City if they see that things are not going well.
Of the three, Tian Zhu was the slowest to react. He was the first to react when Zheng Xueyi and Fu Yunyue left.
He threw a punch at Xiao Xuezhu, then realized something was wrong and quickly moved away.
As a result, two Grandmaster auras kept chasing after him, while the other went to check on Xiao Xuezhu's injuries.
In the palace, Jiang Lan stood at the highest point, looking in the direction of the Xiao family, and asked, "The Confucian School and the National Preceptor's Mansion, have they started making their move yet?"
Wei Jin bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, judging from the loud noise that came from the Xiao Estate just now, it seems that they have already begun to take action."
Jiang Lan nodded and continued, "Prince Heng won't make a mistake, will he?"
"Since His Majesty gave the order last time, Lord Jiang Heng has been increasing the number of people patrolling, so there won't be any mistakes," Wei Jin replied.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan nodded in satisfaction. Looking at the Xiao Estate flames were rising, her gaze was deep and unfathomable, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Wei Jin straightened up and looked in the direction of the Xiao Estate, thinking that the Jianghu forces in Sky City should be wiped out now!
When Zheng Jing and Zheng Xuan led their Lineage disciples across the city wall during the chaos at the Xiao Estate, they were indeed stopped by Jiang Heng and his men.
"Zheng Xuan, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping at home? What are you doing here?" Jiang Heng said quietly, looking at the Zheng Family.
"Jiang Heng, you are aware of the current situation in Sky City. My Zheng Family admits defeat and withdraws from Sky City. Could you please give us a way out?" Zheng Xuan said to Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng said calmly, "Zheng Xuan, I'm sorry, I have an imperial order to obey. Guards, seize them all."
Countless figures suddenly appeared behind Jiang Heng and rushed towards the Zheng Family.
"Jiang Heng, since you don't appreciate my kindness, don't blame me for being ruthless." After Zheng Xuan finished speaking, he immediately waved his hand, and a primordial energy Illusory Transformation figure holding a long sword appeared.
"Haha! You think I'm afraid of you?" Jiang Heng said, unleashing the aura of a Grandmaster.
He then drew his short spear, and with a slash, an Illusory Transformation figure wielding a short spear appeared, thrusting it towards Zheng Xuan's Illusory Transformation figure.
Instantly, the entire battlefield erupted with a surge of energy, producing a series of deafening roars.
Jiang Heng was completely focused on fighting Zheng Xuan and didn't notice that someone else was quietly approaching him.
Zheng Jing slowly approached Jiang Heng while holding his breath, something that would have been impossible under normal circumstances.
After all, it's impossible for anyone to easily get close to a Grandmaster unless their level is significantly higher.
However, there are too many people present, and Jiang Heng is currently fighting Zheng Xuan with all his might.
As soon as Zheng Jing got close to Jiang Heng, he launched a deadly attack, and this attack was all-out from the start, because he only had one chance to strike.
Zheng Jing was on Jiang Heng's back, and his long sword silently stabbed towards Jiang Heng's dantian.
Jiang Heng had actually sensed Zheng Jing's longsword approaching, but he thought that the one who was trying to ambush him was at most a Minor Grandmaster, and that he shouldn't be able to break through his physical defenses.
He was still fully focused on dealing with Zheng Xuan's attack, but his protective energy shield was activated as a natural reaction.
Just as Zheng Jing's longsword was about to pierce Jiang Heng's body, it suddenly erupted, piercing straight through Jiang Heng's protective energy shield and penetrating both Jiang Heng's body and dantian.
"Ah!" Jiang Heng let out a scream, and then bursts of Primal Qi Storm scattered in all directions.
Zheng Jing had already retreated. He used his movement technique to turn around and kill Jiang Heng's men.
Zheng Xuan also swiftly began killing Jiang Heng's men. Before long, Jiang Heng's men were wiped out by Zheng Jing and Zheng Xuan working together.
In fact, it didn't take long from when Zheng Xuan made his move to when Zheng Jing made his move, and Zheng Jing delivering his first stab.
This shows how confident he was in his sword strike. This old man, who had lived for nearly three hundred years, was extremely experienced in killing.
When Zheng Xueyi arrived at the city wall with the remaining two Minor Grandmaster, Zheng Jing and Zheng Xuan were preparing to lead the Zheng Family out of Sky City.
The two groups met up, crossed the city wall, and Zheng Fei was already waiting for them outside. The Zheng Family members quickly disappeared into the vast darkness.
Not long after they left, two figures appeared in the sky, both exuding the aura of Grandmaster. Judging from their attire, they should be from the National Preceptor's Mansion's Mansion.
