By the time the others arrived,
the matter had already been resolved.
After a few perfunctory words, Yan Caizhe dispatched two more great cultivators of the Divine Martial Realm to guard the residence.
At this critical juncture,
nothing could be allowed to happen to Qin Shujian.
Losing an Array Dao Grandmaster would mean serious trouble.
He had not forgotten
that the two Array Dao Grandmasters serving Gu Changqing had yet to truly make their move.
Ming Jingshan alone
would never be able to handle them.
Meanwhile,
Qin Shujian had also become much more cautious.
Even before this,
he had known that the Demon Race might attempt to assassinate him. But as time passed without any movement from them, his constant vigilance had gradually eased.
Now, however,
this assassination attempt had put Qin Shujian on his guard once more.
After all—
the assassin had entered his residence at will, evading even Su Mingyang's notice before striking directly at him. Such methods were nearly impossible to guard against. Without two Dao Artifacts protecting him, the assassin might well have succeeded.
Likewise,
Qin Shujian felt fortunate that he had understood his own limitations and refined the Dustless Immortal Garment in advance.
Following the first assassination attempt,
security throughout Dingxiang City tightened considerably.
Not only that,
but many more guards were also stationed around Ming Jingshan's quarters.
Although Ming Jingshan's strength was unfathomable, precautions were still necessary. The Ming Family stood behind him, after all. If anything happened to him, explaining it to them would be difficult.

a piece of news emerged from Central Province and swept across the world like a storm in a very short time.
At the same time,
he received a system notification.
