was only a quarter of an hour later when another group of Imperial Guards came to arrest people.The Imperial Guard one by one captured the eunuchs and palace maids in the prison, and one after anothe...The magistrate of Xiangcheng was a corpulent middle-aged man. Although it was cold, after just a few steps, this official was already sweating profusely. One couldn't help but wonder if the flesh on his body was filled with the sweat and toil of the common people.

"I, Luo Jin'an, the magistrate of Xiangcheng, pay my respects to Your Highness."

"Lu Zhifu, please get up."

"Your Highness!"

Trembling and struggling to get up from the ground, Lord Luo Zhi turned back towards Cai Ning, as if intending to perform another bow.

"Lu Zhifu, please forgive me."

Knowing the reason for his body, Luo Zhifu smiled somewhat awkwardly, then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Lord Luo Zhifu, this official and the princess still need to continue to Fly Dragon City. Time is of the essence, so this batch of..."

"Rest assured, sir. I will certainly report this matter and organize all forces to investigate it with full effort!"

"Alright, take those people away."

Cai Ning waved her hand, and there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

It is unclear whether the dissatisfaction stems from Luo Zhifu's physique or his style of doing things.

Though Luo Zhifu’s chest heaved with his words, there wasn't a single useful one uttered. Instead, he quickly and neatly pushed all responsibility onto others.

First, report to the superiors and then investigate with all our might. It seems there is no problem, but if nothing comes out of the investigation, this Luo Zhifu won't face any punishment either.

A typical smooth-talking career politician!

By the time Luo Jin'an, the magistrate, disembarked, all the corpses had been removed. Meanwhile, the ship's hold was piled high with the various fruits, vegetables, and meats sent by Magistrate Luo.

Looking at its freshness, Zhang Liyang even suspected that it was picked directly from the field that morning.

The fleet was originally scheduled to stop in Xiangcheng for supplies, but with Lord Lu Zhi's personal delivery, the fleet continued on its journey.

Boom, boom, boom!

A dull, explosive sound kept resounding on the deck. The soldiers on patrol looked at the deck from time to time, their eyes filled with awe.

Xiao He's cultivation and combat prowess, these were naturally clear to the many soldiers who had followed him for years.

And Zhang Liyang, who was fighting against Xiao He Shan, his strength these soldiers did not know, but they also knew that Zhang Liyang's cultivation level was not as high as their own adjutant.

From the first day, it was clear that the two were battling on deck. This Li Yang was being beaten by Xiao Heshan.

But now, the situation has changed.

For a full quarter of an hour, the two had been sparring back and forth on deck.

Fifteen minutes!

It may not seem like a long time, but for soldiers who value a decisive strike, this amount of time is already sufficient.

"Alright, General Xiao, again!"

Once again, after being knocked down by Xiao Heshan due to his carelessness, Zhang Liyang burst into laughter, rolled over, and charged towards Xiao Heshan once more.

This is the fifth day that Li Yang and Xiao He Shan sparred.

For the past three days, Zhang Liyang has been beaten and abused by Xiao He Shan throughout the day. At night, he takes the Blood Dan from the reward of the last night raid system mission.

After receiving a supply of eight Blood Pills as reward, Zhang Liyang would inevitably appear full of energy the next morning, only to continue his day of being tormented.

This situation gradually changed after three days.

Xiao HeShan could no longer easily defeat Zhang LiYang. The two fought back and forth, and Xiao HeShan even needed to be doubly careful to avoid being defeated by Zhang LiYang.

It's already the fifth day, but Zhang Liyang is getting more and more excited, his strength increasing with every strike. This makes Xiao Heshan's arms increasingly numb, and his heart sinks deeper and deeper.

Xiao He Shan has already exerted 70% of his strength, but the force coming from Zhang Li Yang still puts some strain on him.

But Xiao He Shan was afraid to rashly increase his own strength, fearing that he would lose control and injure Zhang Li Yang.

Don't underestimate this Li Yang, just because he's a mere official. He's the princess's personal eunuch after all! If she's truly unhappy, dealing with him as a low-ranking official would be child's play for her.

As for why Zhang Liyang was so excited, that's because Zhang Liyang once again felt himself about to break through.

In the beginning, the Fire Emperor forged his power with the help of a Wan Shou Liu Jin Dan. At that time, he used only one-third of its power, and the remaining two-thirds were given to the Yellow Emperor.

Two-thirds of the power of the Wan Shou Liu Jin Pill would have allowed someone else to break through, but in Zhang Liyang's case, he swallowed several blood pills and practiced with Xiao Heshan for several days before finally breaking through.

Qi and blood surged wave after wave inside his body, ceaselessly. If Zhang Liyang hadn't controlled his powerful heart, the thunderous heartbeat would have been heard by Xiao Heishan long ago.

Under the constant surging of qi and blood, Zhang Liyang's muscles throughout his body contracted and expanded, causing his body to swell and shrink slightly.

When Xiao He saw Zhang Liyang's transformation like this, he, who had already gone through a cycle, knew that Zhang Liyang was about to break through.

"Zhang Gonggong, I'm here to lend you a hand!"

To help Zhang Liyang break through better and faster, Xiao Heshan let out a loud roar, and his strength instantly increased to 80%!

Eighty percent of a cultivator at the Eighth Realm's power is enough to kill an elephant with a single punch!

Under tremendous force, Zhang Liyang, who was originally able to contend with Xiao He Mountain, immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Every punch Xiao Heshan landed was like a big hammer, and Zhang Liyang was like the red-hot iron block under that hammer.

Either it is forged into steel by the hammer, or it becomes scrap iron!

That's why people say Xiao Heshan is not a good coach or teacher. Ordinary people would handle this situation gradually, but Xiao Heshan is so aggressive and intense.

Fortunately, whether it was Xiao He or Zhang Liang, they both seemed comfortable with this approach.

Bang, bang, bang!

One punch after another, Xiao Heshan's punches were like the wind. Each time a fist landed on Zhang Liyang's body, a powerful force exploded within him, like a giant stone crashing into a placid lake, sending ripples across its surface.

With Xiao He Shan's continuous invasion, Zhang Li Yang is now in a state of bittersweet pain.

The pain is because Xiao Heshan's fist is not light. A punch from him can kill an elephant, so no matter who gets hit, it won't feel good.

Happiness is the muscles of the body absorbing qi and blood faster under this power, constantly growing stronger and stronger!

When Zhang Liyang's entire body of qi and blood surged into all his muscles, Zhang Liyang's body swelled suddenly, seeming to reach its limit. Then, it contracted violently again!

Bang!

With a deafening boom, an invisible force erupted from Zhang Liyang's body, sending a gust of wind swirling around him.

The Five Emperors Wheel Turning Sutra has been successfully practiced by the Yellow Emperor!

For a fleeting moment, a torrent of information surged through Zhang Liyang's mind. past to prevent Dagan from devouring them, Jia Fengxian felt it was unreliable of them to seek his help now."Then force them to find it. With your abilities, that shouldn't be a problem."Bai Wei had...
