The boy's calm voice echoed in the air, carrying an undeniable sense of authority.
Baiyue stood frozen in place, but her thoughts raced!
As the saying goes, skill breeds daring; in the entire Capital City Dasheng, who doesn't know that this is the residence of the current Princess Ling'an?!
The person who dared to lurk among them must either have the audacity to offend the Third Princess or the ability to come and go as they please!
Neither of them are easy to deal with.
His Highness will probably be here soon...
Thinking of this, Baiyue wanted to offer some words of advice, but ultimately held back.
There is no other reason.
Because in just these few days, she had already gained a great deal of understanding of General Ye's combat capabilities!
Even the stories circulating in Capital City today about Ye Li are mostly overly conservative.
Could they join forces with the Xianjing Continent to suppress the Xuanming Sword Sect?
Nonsense! It's clear that the other party single-handedly swept through the entire Venerable's forces!
Even that Sword Sect Old Ancestor couldn't hold out until I arrived... With such cultivation, unless the person who comes isn't a high-ranking official within the Nine Luminaries Division, they'll definitely suffer a huge loss due to the information gap!
"..."
Baiyue took a deep breath, then subtly took a few steps back.
After a two-second pause, she stepped back again.
"That's strange..."
Meanwhile, deep within the mansion.
Old Mo, lurking in the shadows, had a flicker of surprise in his cloudy old eyes.
He believed his concealment skills had reached Transformation Realm, his aura as concealed as a stubborn rock or rotten wood, so that even Venerables of the same level would find it difficult to detect his aura fluctuations without deliberately probing the interior of the mansion.
How did Ye Li manage to pinpoint his location so accurately outside the mansion?
Is it a coincidence? Or... is this person's perception just that powerful?!
The initial surprise turned into seriousness.
However, as Ye Li approached, the old man felt more annoyed at being slighted!
He considered himself a prominent figure in the Capital City, and when he visited prestigious sects, he was always treated as an honored guest.
Now, personally testing a newcomer to the Capital City is already prematurely revealing his true intentions!
After sensing the fluctuations in the courtyard, this kid not only didn't retreat for help, but also dared to so arrogantly approach the mansion?!
If this isn't looking down on him, what else could it be?!
What an arrogant brat!
Old Mo's face instantly darkened, and dense death energy gathered on his withered fingers, while the dormant Venerable Magic Power within his body began to flow rapidly!
If his original purpose was simply to test Ye Li, then now it's become more about personal grudges!
Squeak!
Before him, the heavy door was slowly pushed open.
A handsome Boy in Black walked straight in. His unfathomable eyes first swept across the courtyard before slowly landing on the old man's location.
Only then did Old Mo finally see the eyes of this confidante of the Third Princess clearly—
It was filled with a vast and profound black, as if it contained the sublime and majestic power of the Stars and the sea! That was the aura that only a martial artist who had cultivated to the highest level could possess!
The old man's muscles tensed instantly, and his previous anger subsided somewhat.
The plan was changed on the spot.
Since the purpose of my trip was to test the other party's strength, it would be best not to linger too long, lest the Third Princess find something to use against me.
It wouldn't be good if it threatened His Highness.
The next moment, a young voice rang out from inside the mansion.
"You are... never mind."
Ye Li felt the surging torrent of Magic Power flowing within the old man's body, and the smile in his eyes deepened, but his voice grew even colder as he said:
"I guess I was overthinking it."
Having just arrived, he was inevitably unfamiliar with many aspects of the Capital City.
Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
This time, Ye Li did not choose to act immediately, but instead went in first to check the situation, which was unusual for him, showing that he was somewhat hesitant.
But now, both the guests lurking in the shadows and the increasingly obvious Killing Intent clearly revealed the newcomer's identity to him—
They're here to die.
Therefore, it can be seen that Dasheng Capital City is also following its consistent style.
Outside the mansion, Baiyue had unconsciously retreated more than a hundred feet.
Alas!
Just then, a sharp whooshing sound came from behind her.
Following that was a clear female voice, tinged with urgency and a hint of seeking credit:
"General Ye! I'm done with my work!"
Baiyue turned around and immediately gasped in shock. "Your Highness?!"
The person who arrived was none other than Li Yingluo, who was riding a small Star Skiff. This Third Princess of the Great Sheng Dynasty had come here directly after the banquet without even changing her clothes!
However, unlike the Baiyue which was viewed with great apprehension.
A hint of joy still lingered in Li Yingluo's eyes, but upon noticing that the figure in black was no longer beside Baiyue, she frowned and asked:
"Baiyue, why are you the only one here?"
"General Ye has entered the manor!" Baiyue was extremely anxious. She wanted to explain the situation clearly to him, but due to the urgency of the matter, she could only say the most important things:
"Your Highness! This place is not very safe right now; there are suspected assassins..."
Boom!!
Before the words were even finished, a deafening roar of flesh suddenly erupted from the night!
The heavy mansion gates burst open instantly, the earth trembled violently, and amidst the rolling shockwaves, an old figure was sent flying backward, spitting out blood!
His entire arm was smashed by the force, and half of his body was also badly mangled, even though he managed to dodge in time!
If he hadn't reacted quickly, he probably would have been blasted into a cloud of blood mist!
Baiyue abruptly pulled the dazed Third Princess behind her, and a surging gust of wind swept past them!
The old man's mangled body crashed into the shattered stone path. He struggled to his feet, but once again spewed out crimson blood mixed with fragments of internal organs!
A pair of aged eyes were filled with horror as they stared intently at the broken gate of the mansion ahead.
Under the gaze of three horrified eyes.
There, Ye Li stood calmly, his black robes billowing in the night, surrounded by the lingering lotus-like Buddha Light, as he stepped out with unhurried grace.
"This... this..."
Li Yingluo was breathing heavily, and before she could figure out what was happening, she was stunned into a blank by the shocking scene that she had rarely experienced in the Imperial Palace.
The overwhelming pressure of the Venerable One and the terrifying blood energy filling the sky were all assaulting her sensitive nerves!
Fortunately, the bracelet on her wrist possessed a magical quality, protecting her entire body while subtly calming her emotions.
Li Yingluo had considered the possibility of conflict; she had sent Ye Li to the capital with the intention of getting him to come and fight.
But she never expected it.
Before they'd even had their first night in Beijing, the other side had already started a fight!
This... is a bit too fast!!
