The silvery-white Star Skiff tore through the clouds, hurtling towards Jade Mountain amidst the envious gazes of countless mortals.
Even from tens of thousands of miles away, the majestic outline of the Jade Mountain main ridge, stretching across the sky and earth, can still be seen.
"Lord Ye, there should be a temporary residence set up by the Nine Luminaries Division at the foot of Jade Mountain. I'll be waiting for you there."
Xie Huaiwei looked at the faint outline of the mountains on the horizon, and was first filled with emotion, then looked at Ye Li behind her and smiled.
The Yao Xuan Envoy, who was able to participate in the [Jade Mountain Refinement], had a very special status, so it was perfectly normal for him to have an attendant by his side.
The Nine Luminaries Division naturally wouldn't leave these people hanging outside.
"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Li nodded slightly.
He only had one jade seal, and he couldn't be generous with someone else's money.
I can only try to reward my teammates in other ways in the future.
Calm your mind.
Ye Li then brought up the control panel.
[Current Martial Dao Realm: Half-Step Dao Evolution Realm (10%)]
[Sacred Great Dao Resonance Method. The Myriad Dao True Unity Art! (Perfect)]
[Current Malice Points: Points]
Everything is ready now, except for a strong enough wind to help me break through the insurmountable barrier of the Dao Evolution Realm and become a Domain Lord.
Unfortunately, Dao Evolution Realm cultivators are not exactly commonplace in the Xianjing Continent, making it difficult to find a suitable target.
Thinking of this, Ye Li couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Previously, at the Nine Luminaries Division of Jade Mountain, I saw a sneaky Yao Xuan Envoy spying on me, and I thought it was someone delivering goods to my door.
However, after waiting for a long time, even after leaving the territory of the Nine Luminaries Division, they still haven't seen a single person.
I even slowed down on purpose... Ye Li sighed silently to himself.
Hopefully, this so-called Jade Mountain Refinement won't disappoint him.
Hearing Ye Li's thanks, Xie Huaiwei's face also showed a smile. This was hard-earned goodwill from the big boss!
"It's no trouble at all, it's all what I should do." She immediately waved her hand casually, even though she had almost wet herself in fright at the prefect's mansion earlier.
"I hope that Lord Ye can gain something from this trial, and that the situation in my Longtan Grand Commandery can be completely stabilized."
Xie Huaiwei stretched, then stood up and walked towards the control center of the Star Skiff: "Let me take the helm manually."
As he spoke, he reached out to inject Magic Power to speed things up.
The moment her delicate hand touched the array plate, her wrist was suddenly gripped.
"Lord Ye..." Xie Huaiwei looked up in surprise, then stopped abruptly.
The boy's fair face was calm as he gazed into the empty space behind him, his eyes flickering.
"Slow down a bit more," he said, surprising everyone.
Upon hearing this, Xie Huaiwei's heart skipped a beat. While quickly doing so, she couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong?"
"Something's catching up with us, and it's very fast. What do you think it's here for?" Ye Li tapped the armrest of his chair lightly.
No wonder they didn't make a move inside the Jade Mountain Nine Luminaries Division; they were waiting for him here.
Within the Jade Mountain Prefecture, the only things authorized to fly at high speeds are either the Star Skiff of the Nine Luminaries Division or ravenous Dao Evolution Realm Great Demon.
Xie Huaiwei's heart skipped a beat. Unable to sense any presence, she could only hurriedly ask:
"Lord Ye, is it Great Demon or a colleague who has arrived? Should I contact the local Nine Luminaries Division?"
"No need."
The Boy in Black sat back down, the Silver Fish on his robes shimmering in the sunlight, a slight smile on his face, "You'll soon find out exactly who's coming."
"The wind was too strong, I couldn't hear clearly."
Meanwhile, Ye Li and his companion were in the airspace less than 10,000 miles behind them.
The sound of the Jade Mountain Star Skiff cutting through the air was exceptionally sharp. The thousands of acceleration Array Formation engraved on the hull were activated to the extreme, maintaining an extremely fast speed even with the suppression of Imperial Qi.
General Zeng Fan stood on the deck, arms crossed, his gaze gradually turning cold as he looked ahead.
Behind him, a Yao Xuan Envoy belonging to Yushan bowed to him and reported, his face somewhat grim, saying:
"My lord, the brothers who were holding back in the department have sent word that they saw Lord Su leave the courtyard. He must be heading to the prefect's residence to see the prefect."
At this critical juncture, choosing to see the prefect—even a fool would know what Su Yongye was up to.
"We're not on the same path after all." Zeng Fan didn't show any surprise, his voice carrying a hint of coldness as he said:
"After all, they are from the prestigious [Shiguang Academy]. Even if we are both lieutenant generals and call each other brothers, they should still look down on associating with us."
"This is going too far!" a trusted confidant exclaimed indignantly.
"My lord, you have devoted countless efforts to eliminating this Great Demon, only to have a newcomer from the Dragon Pool steal the credit. Not only does Lord Su not stand up for you, but he actually..."
"Alright, I've already said we're not on the same wavelength."
Zeng Fan waved his hand impatiently. Since things had come to this point, it wouldn't matter if Su Yongye chose to inform on them.
By the time the other party meets the governor, everything will have settled on our side. Even if we need to punish him, we should wait until after the cleansing is over.
By then, even if the prefect of Longtan Grand Commandery came looking for him, Zeng Fan would have a reason to explain.
In a few days, it will be the [Sword Master Ceremony] of the Xuanming Sword Sect. He needs to be present in person and wants to improve his strength as much as possible to ensure his position in the Jade Mountain Nine Luminaries Division.
Such a clear distinction between public and private matters should leave even the Dragon Pool County with nothing to say.
"My lord, we've spotted the target!" a Yushan Yao Xuan Envoy suddenly exclaimed with delight.
Against the clear blue sky, a silver-white Star Skiff was flying leisurely at a leisurely pace, with two figures sitting on it, both looking calm and chatting freely.
This scene immediately ignited Zeng Fan's anger, a surge of rage rising from his heart to his brain.
I'm frantically trying to secure a spot, and you, who got the spot through connections, are leisurely enjoying tea and scenery here, heading to Yushan?!
That's absolutely disgusting!
"It is indeed this person!"
Zeng Fan crushed the armrest of the chair in his hand, drew his long sword from his waist, and said in a chilling tone, "Shoot his Star Skiff down first!!"
The Star Skiff beneath their feet immediately began to change shape, its deep cannon muzzle aimed at the leisurely flying silver-white Star Skiff. The living standards of Dasheng were not lagging behind, relying on the unpredictable Array Formation of this array!
Countless Array Formation swirled and flowed, and a blinding ball of energy instantly appeared in front of the cannon muzzle, spreading an immense sense of threat!
The woman on the silver-white Star Skiff finally changed her expression, her brows furrowing as she looked up sharply.
That's right.
A savage glint flashed in Zeng Fan's eyes; he finally saw the reaction he had anticipated.
Without further hesitation, he roared, "Release!"
The moment he uttered those words.
A loud and clear sword cry suddenly exploded in my ears!
Many Yushan Yao Xuan Envoy looked up in horror, only to see a wide Sword Qi tearing through the Sea of Clouds in their field of vision. After smashing the Star Skiff Cannon, it suddenly slashed down with unparalleled power!
What's going on?
Zeng Fan looked over in astonishment, then his pupils suddenly dilated.
The Boy in Black, who was calmly drinking tea on the Star Skiff, did not even look at this place. Instead, a cold and sharp immortal Immortal Sword appeared in his raised hand and was now flying up and down!
That vast, towering Sword Qi was his creation!
Zeng Fan didn't even have time to think about when the other person noticed something was wrong.
Boom!!
High in the sky, a deafening sword cry swept out like a raging tide, instantly tearing apart half of the dark Star Skiff belonging to Jade Mountain, and blasting away the numerous figures it Sword Qi with it!
Blood rained down on the earth!
