“As for the hair and blood… Well, they didn’t pay much attention to it before. If they want to obtain it, they just have to use some tricks. After all, the princess of the Senal Grassland is still in Emperor Wu’s harem.”
Night Owl gave Lord Jing an appreciative look.
Feng Wu had no idea that the black-robed man who had lured the princess into the Junwu Empire’s harem in the Senal Grassland was Lord Jing himself.
They thought that no one would hear them, but Little Phoenix was in the secret room.
Because of how critical the situation was, Little Phoenix had been following Night Owl around the entire time, and Night Owl had no idea.
Feng Wu was equally shocked when Little Phoenix told her the plan.
So, Lord Jing had her and Jun Linyuan’s blood and hair?!
And the princess of the Senal Grassland got it for him!
Feng Wu flared up!
He was trying to frame her and Jun Linyuan… So be it!
Feng Wu asked Little Phoenix to collect the hair and blood of Night Owl and Lord Jing for her.
Night Owl didn’t want anything to happen, so he wanted to finish the battle as soon as possible.
He couldn’t wait anymore. What if the Dongsang King suddenly changed his mind?
On a dark, moonless night…
A figure rushed into Princess Yan Ling’s residence and tried to assassinate her.
“Assassins!”
When Princess Yan Ling realized what had happened, she cried out.
Ma Quanquan was cultivating in his room with his eyes closed.
To a cultivator at the peak of the Spiritual Saint stage, the attacker was indeed very capable. They almost fooled him.
“Who’s there?!”
Ma Quanquan shouted angrily.
He drew out his sword.
Soon, he heard the sound of fighting outside.
Ma Quanquan frowned.
The person was so powerful that they almost destroyed the formation around the princess’s room.
Ma Quanquan immediately sent a message to Yao Yuan.
Yao Yuan had arrived from the Dayan Empire with Ma Quanquan and was also at the peak of the Spiritual Saint stage. Ma Quanquan and Princess Yan Ling had been staying in the Dongsang Kingdom, while Yao Yuan had gone to the far north. He had some important tasks to do as well.
However, Ma Quanquan felt threatened today, so he sent out the message.
The Dayan Empire was a technologically advanced empire, and they soon got in touch with each other.
“Come to Donglin City now!!!”
Ma Ouanauan made three exclamation marks in a row.
After Yao Yuan received the news, he headed for Dongsang as fast as he could.
He moved so fast that no one had time to react.
However, at Yao Yuan’s current speed, it would take him at least 15 minutes to reach Donglin City.
However, there was no time to waste.
Thump, thump, thump!
The sound of fighting kept coming in the chilly night.
Ma Quanquan fought and fell back, but his opponent kept closing in. In the end, he had no choice but to tear the space open and run into it.
Ma Quanquan was astonished.
Who was trying to assassinate the princess tonight?
Were they from the Dongsang Kingdom?
Or someone from the Junwu Empire?
Ma Quanquan’s eyes lit up. He stared at the Spiritual Saint and smirked. “This is Donglin City, and I’ve sent a letter to the royal palace. If the Dongsang King hears about it, he’ll send a capable cultivator to help us. Who are you? Are you sure you want to keep fighting?”
His opponent was none other than Senior Brother Min of the Dongsang King.
If the Dongsang King really wanted to send reinforcements, it would have to be Master Min.
Master Min knew that Ma Quanquan was trying to sound him out, so he didn’t say anything, but he struck out even harder.
Ma Quanquan looked in the direction of the imperial palace, but it was pitch black.
Given Master Min’s capability, he should have heard about the battle.
Moreover, there was more than one peak Spiritual Saint in Donglin City.
That was to say…
Ma Quanquan looked terrified.
“You’re from the Dongsang Kingdom! “Do you people want to kill the messenger of the Dayan Empire?!”
Ma Quanquan was astonished.
The Dayan Empire had been supporting the Dongsang Kingdom all these years. How could the Dongsang Kingdom dare to do that?
Master Min looked frustrated.
Things were getting out of hand.
The original plan was to only kill Princess Yan Ling, leave Ma Quanquan alive, and let Ma Quanquan find the hair… In the end, it would prove that Jun Linyuan of the Junwu Empire was the culprit. That way, the Dayan Empire would be able to vent all their anger on the Junwu Empire, but now…
Since Ma Quanquan had found out the truth, he couldn’t live anymore.
Therefore, Master Min, who had been holding back, activated his sword intent.
Ma Quanquan murmured in disbelief, “How dare you?!”
He was answered by Master Min’s explosive power.
After Master Min lured Ma Quanquan away, the residence became a piece of cake for Lord Jing.
Because the guards had betrayed him before…
Feng Wu pretended to be Jing Wei to let Princess Yan Ling know that he was a guard of the Jing Mansion.
Therefore, Lord Jing decided to do it himself.
He was a Level-2 Spiritual Saint, whereas Princess Yan Ling was only a peak Spiritual Overlord. Therefore, Lord Jing was confident that he was going to win.
The formation around the building had been destroyed, so Lord Jing arrived in no time.
Princess Yan Ling didn’t realize how dangerous it was.
She was having the greatest time of her life.
She had been stuck at the peak of the Spiritual Overlord stage for a very long time. Tonight, she suddenly had an epiphany and had comprehended a new stage. As a result, she was making a breakthrough into the Spiritual Saint stage.
The door opened with a click.
Shijian was guarding Princess Yan Ling’s door.
Feng Wu was supposed to be there, but she was too smart to be exposed in a critical moment like this.
She wasn’t afraid of Lord Jing, but she was afraid that a peak Spiritual Saint might pop out of nowhere, and she might be killed.
She had planned this battle so carefully that all she needed to do was watch it from afar.
Hence, Feng Wu had hidden herself away.
As expected…
When Lord Jing arrived at the door and saw Princess Yan Ling’s maid, he struck down with his sword. Shijian was dead before she could react.
Lord Jing entered the room.
The door made a cracking sound, which made Lord Jing frown a little. However, he soon realized that the sound didn’t affect Princess Yan Ling’s cultivation at all, for her breathing was well-proportioned and she didn’t seem nervous.
With a sword in his hand, Lord Jing soon went into the inner room.
He immediately spotted Princess Yan Ling, who was sitting on a cushion and absorbing spiritual essence.
He didn’t know if he should call Princess Yan Ling lucky or unlucky..
