Sky City.
As the sunset fell, the sky was quickly swallowed by darkness.
At this mont.
Jiang Ning suddenly stopped his actions and listened intently.
"So the Marquis has returned!"
A smile appeared on his face.
After bidding farewell to Zhou Sheng during the day, he returned alone to the Marquis Mansion in Sky City.
The follow-up cleanup on Zhi Xuan Mountain wasn’t needed in such a situation.
Therefore, he chose to return to Sky City first and cultivate alone in the Marquis Mansion.
He didn’t choose to return to Dongling City, also because of Zhou Sheng’s request.
This surprise attack annihilated Zhi Xuan Mountain, and although Yun Shanhe, the Second Grade Grandmaster of Title Level, was missed, it was still a great achievent.
He was third in rit, so he couldn’t be absent from the celebration banquet.
Regarding Zhou Sheng’s request, Jiang Ning felt helpless but had to participate.
After all, Zhou Sheng’s face couldn’t easily be ignored.
Moreover, Zhou Sheng didn’t embezzle his rit and had prepared him an outfit worth a thousand gold tael in advance.
Only soone from the Imperial Family, a royal relative, could have access to the tribute fabrics.
How could he ignore Zhou Sheng’s gesture?
After realizing it was Zhou Sheng’s return causing the commotion, he adjusted his mindset.
Exhale——
Accompanied by a long exhale.
He once again assud the stance corresponding to the Vajra Immortal Body.
Just a few breaths.
He felt every inch of flesh beneath his skin was burning, sensing as if billions of ants were crawling beneath.
In an instant, his muscular upper body gathered beads of sweat that rolled down.

[...]
It had been a long ti since he had focused on increasing the Experience Value for this cultivation technique, now realizing that the prompt frequency was higher than before.
This indicated that, compared to before, he could acquire more Experience Value in the sa amount of ti.
This also indicated that his efficiency had improved.
After an hour.
Footsteps ca from outside the courtyard, the sound growing closer.
The sky was dim now, and night enveloped the earth.
A mont later.
Two figures appeared in Jiang Ning’s sight.
He still grit his teeth.
His Qi-Blood incessantly flushed every inch of his skin, bringing feelings of numbness and pain, like being tortured.
Large beads of sweat rolled down his body and then dripped.
A few breaths later.
[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value 1]
Seeing this prompt appear.
Exhale——
He finally sighed with relief, stopping his actions.
"Marquis, Zhong Mansion Envoy!" Jiang Ning spoke.
"Who would’ve thought you’d return early just to practice in the mansion?" Zhou Sheng looked at the sweat still rolling off Jiang Ning’s body, amazed.
Upon hearing, Jiang Ning said.
"Feeling anxious in my heart!"
"Why?" Zhou Sheng looked at Jiang Ning, showing confusion.
Jiang Ning shook his head and said, "Master of Zhi Xuan Mountain Yun Shanhe is still alive; if he learns of my identity in the future, he’ll undoubtedly co for !"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Sheng was montarily stunned.
He seed to understand a bit.
Then with a smile: "You need not worry about that! The silver mask crafted by my mansion’s artisans is made of Silver Star Sand."
"This special material emits a special field that can isolate most prying eyes, including spiritual power, Divine Sense, and certain Pupil Skills."
"With that mask on, even if the ancestor of Xuanyuan Blessed Land were to spy on you secretly, he’d likely not see through the mask’s concealnt."
"Moreover, with at the Five Mountains Prefecture, even if Yun Shanhe were to leave Xuanyuan Blessed Land one day, he wouldn’t have the mind to co here for you."
"Rest assured on that!"
The last words were Zhou Sheng’s assurance to Jiang Ning.
"Of course, I believe the Marquis!" Jiang Ning said.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Sheng smiled.
"Rember to attend the celebration banquet at six monts past 7 p.m.; tonight you’re one of the protagonists! Don’t forget! I’ll have the maids from the mansion co over later."
"Rest assured, Marquis, I’ll be punctual!" Jiang Ning responded.
"Good!" Zhou Sheng said.
At this mont.
Zhong Yue ca before Jiang Ning and then bowed towards him.
"Unacceptable!!" Seeing this, Jiang Ning quickly stepped forward, instantly supporting Zhong Yue.
In an instant.
Zhong Yue found that no matter how much power he exerted, his body wouldn’t budge an inch.
"So strong!"
He was astonished in his heart.
Though he knew during the day’s battle that Jiang Ning’s strength was formidable.
But seeing and experiencing firsthand were entirely different.
Feeling firsthand Jiang Ning’s power, as immovable as a mountain or sea, he understood that Jiang Ning’s strength had vastly surpassed him.
The physical and strength gap was that imnse.
He couldn’t imagine how terrifying it would be if Jiang Ning used that day’s unfathomable swordsmanship!
"Why does the Zhong Mansion Envoy do this?" Jiang Ning asked.
Upon hearing, he was lifted by Jiang Ning’s strength.
He felt a bit bitter and then said, "Zhong Ling still needs your care for a while longer!"
Seeing the expression on Zhong Yue’s face.
"Alright!" Jiang Ning nodded.
"Thank you very much!" Zhong Yue imdiately expressed heartfelt gratitude.
At this mont, Zhou Sheng said on the side: "Words of thanks are useless! Rember to toast Jiang Patrol Envoy a few more tis at the banquet!"
"The Marquis is right!" Upon hearing Zhou Sheng’s words, Zhong Yue promptly nodded in agreent.
"Lord Jiang, Elder Zhong and I won’t disturb your practice any longer! Rember to keep your appointnt later! Six monts past 7 p.m., the celebration banquet starts on ti, and you can wear your mask!" Zhou Sheng said to Jiang Ning.
"No problem!" Jiang Ning responded.
Then, Zhou Sheng and Zhong Yue left.
