When the woman's soft voice rang out, the Primordial Qi between heaven and earth rippled once more, and an equally vast and obscure Divine Ability Dharma Net spread out from the void, colliding with the previous Divine Ability Dharma Net.
The two Divine Ability Dharma Net eroded and collided, and the resulting fluctuations in Primordial Qi were like a landslide and tsunami, spreading continuously above Qingyuan Market with a heart-shaking roar.
The golden light that was about to fall on the Thunderfire Hall was caught at that moment by a lotus leaf of Primordial Qi that appeared out of nowhere.
This scene left countless people in Qingyuan Market stunned for a moment.
The next moment, a deafening uproar erupted.
What did they see?!
Another Divine Ability Grandmaster has appeared?!
Is this a battle between Grandmaster?!
Countless people were both excited and terrified. They were excited because they could actually witness a clash between Divine Ability Grandmaster, and they were terrified because even the aftershocks of such a battle could wipe out Qingyuan Market.
In the sky, the enormous face of the Divine Ability Grandmaster from the Great Golden Crow Hall also underwent some changes. Clearly, he had not expected that another Divine Ability Grandmaster would appear in this small Qingyuan Market to stop him.
The massive face and sharp, enormous eyes were directed towards the city's government offices. In his perception, the aura of that Divine Ability Grandmaster was emanating from this place.
Then, he saw a beautiful Daoist nun in the yamen raising her head and looking at him calmly.
"Which direction do you come from, Grandmaster?" The deep voice of the Divine Ability Grandmaster from the Great Golden Crow Hall, tinged with doubt, echoed from afar, reverberating in the courtyard.
He didn't know all the Divine Ability Grandmaster in the Great Luo Domain, but he had met most of them. However, he had no recollection of this beautiful Daoist nun at all.
" Zhou Shu of the Zhou Lineage the Imperial Domain," the beautiful Daoist nun said calmly.
" The Zhou Lineage the Imperial Domain?!"
A look of surprise appeared on the enormous face in the sky. The next moment, the Divine Ability Dharma Net covering the sky dissipated, and a figure appeared in the sky.
It was a middle-aged man dressed in a silver robe embroidered with lifelike golden crows. His hair was also silver-white, shimmering in the sunlight. Clearly, he was Divine Ability Grandmaster from the Great Golden Crow Hall.
He first glanced indifferently at the Thunderfire Hall, then his figure disappeared into the sky. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the beautiful Daoist nun in the ward.
"I am Jiang Suan from the Great Golden Crow Hall. I greet the Divine Ability Grandmaster from the Zhou Lineage."
The middle-aged man, who called himself Jiang Suan, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the beautiful Daoist nun, speaking very politely.
Although the Great Luo Domain and the Imperial Domain are far apart, the Great Golden Crow Hall is, after all, a top-tier level -Fifth-Tier Divine Ability Hall in the Great Luo Domain, and naturally knows how astonishing the foundation of this top divine ability family in the Imperial Domain is.
"I wonder why you are stopping me? The Thunderfire Hall killed one of my disciples, and they also have some karmic ties with my family. I have come here to sever these ties. If you think my actions to exterminate the Thunderfire Hall are inappropriate, I can compromise and only kill the Lu Clan." Jiang Suan spoke gently, but his words were quite ruthless.
He hadn't considered that the other party would be reinforcements invited by the Thunderfire Hall, because it didn't make sense. How could a Third-Tier Divine Ability Hall possibly request such protection?
"You can't touch the Lu Clan," Zhou Shu said calmly.
Jiang Suan's brows furrowed slowly. He stared intently at the beautiful Daoist nun before him, and asked with a hint of surprise, " The Zhou Lineage intends to protect the Lu Clan?"
His expression turned slightly cold. Although the Zhou Lineage was indeed powerful, this was not the Imperial Domain after all. Wasn't the other party's reach a bit too far?
"It is I who must protect the Lu Clan."
At this moment, a clear female voice suddenly rang out, and the princess in red walked out of the stone pavilion, accompanied by Zhou Fuling.
Jiang Suan looked at the elegantly dressed girl in red before him, then at Zhou Shu, frowned slightly, and asked, "And who are you?"
Although he sensed that the other party was not Divine Ability Grandmaster, Jiang Suan naturally understood from the fact that even Zhou Shu, a Divine Ability Grandmaster, stopped speaking after the other party appeared that the other party's identity must be extremely extraordinary.
"My surname is Yin, and my given name is Xi," the girl in red calmly introduced herself.
"Yin?!"
Jiang Suan was startled. Yin was the imperial surname, and this woman called herself "this palace"... This was the princess of the Great Shang?!
"So it's Your Highness the Princess. Jiang Suan has been rude." Jiang Suan bowed slightly to show respect, but with the appearance of this princess, the sense of absurdity in his heart only intensified.
A princess from the Imperial Court is actually going to protect a Third-Tier Divine Ability Hall?!
If it weren't for Zhou Shu, a Divine Ability Grandmaster, by his side, Jiang Suan would have even thought that the other party was setting a trap.
"I wonder why Your Highness is protecting them? If Your Highness needs to command them to do something, you can seek help from my Great Golden Crow Hall. I am willing to do my utmost to assist you. However, the Lu Clan has already formed a karmic bond with my Great Golden Crow Hall, and they must die." Jiang Suan remained silent for a few breaths before slowly speaking.
The murderous intent flowing in his eyes did not diminish because of Yin Xi and Zhou Shu's protection; on the contrary, it reached its peak at this moment.
He initially thought it was just a matter of settling things casually, but it ended up causing so much trouble.
What does this tell us?
This indicates that this Third-Tier Divine Ability Hall is quite extraordinary.
Once such a cause and effect are formed, they must be completely eradicated without leaving any trace to avoid future troubles.
"I do need their help with something, and I promised to protect them. It's a deal already made. I urge the Great Golden Crow Hall to spare no further harm to the Thunderfire Hall for my sake," His Highness said calmly.
Jiang Suan's expression gradually turned cold. After all, he was a Divine Ability Grandmaster, a top expert in both the Great Luo Domain and the Great Shang Kingdom. Although the other party was a princess, she could not subdue him.
"Your Highness, our Great Golden Crow Hall has been established for over a hundred years. From its inception, it has had a founding principle called 'Resolving Cause and Effect,' which means that all causes and effects must be resolved and no troubles should be left unresolved. Over the past hundred years, countless enemies caused by cause and effect have been uprooted and completely eliminated by our Great Golden Crow Hall. This is why our Great Golden Crow Hall has been able to stand strong to this day."
"And now, Your Highness wants our Great Golden Crow Hall to change this fundamental principle? I think the Grand Master and the Second Master will not agree to it either."
"I know Your Highness is of noble status and has many powerful subordinates, but this is, after all, the Great Luo Domain." Jiang Suan spoke slowly, his words calm, but he showed no intention of backing down.
"Oh? Does the Great Golden Crow Hall think that my influence can't reach into the Great Luo Domain, so I can't do anything to you?" His Highness's crimson pupils seemed to become even more intensely red at this moment.
Jiang Suan remained expressionless, neither confirming nor denying.
"Then what if I add my Zhou Lineage to the mix?" Zhou Shu said calmly from the side.
Jiang Suan's expression finally changed. The combination of a prince and the Zhou Lineage made even Divine Ability Grandmaster like him feel pressured. After so many years of lording it over the Great Luo Domain, this was the first time he had ever tasted the feeling of being coerced.
His Highness lowered his eyes slightly, speaking casually, "Sometimes, dealing with Divine Ability Grandmaster Divine Ability Hall of Divine Power in charge, doesn't require meddling. The Imperial Domain has the authority to summon Divine Ability Grandmaster from all sides in special circumstances, a right that even the major domain lords cannot disobey. The next ' Grandmaster War' seems to be just a few years away..."
" The Great Golden Crow Hall has three Divine Ability Grandmaster, right? That seems like a lot. Why not use them to serve the country? How about the last conscription list?"
When His Highness uttered those words, Jiang Suan's expression turned completely ugly, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
