A man’s appearance was ordinary, completely unremarkable.
Another man had a handso face, with a faint lancholy between his brows.
"Yun Shanhe!!" Jiang Ning’s heart stirred, instantly recognizing the handso man’s identity.
He then covertly observed the ordinary-looking man opposite Yun Shanhe through his divine thought.
A few breaths later.
"It seems this man is not strong either!" Jiang Ning murmured to himself, a thought crossing his mind.
After observing for a long ti, he also noticed that he had not been discovered by the two of them.
Just from this point, his evaluation of them dropped a notch in his heart.
Because in terms of ntal levels, unless the difference in strength is vast, it’s impossible to probe as freely as he did without being discovered.
For a great grandmaster of the second grade, fluctuations on the ntal level are extrely sensitive.
Because the second-grade divine realm, the term "divine" refers to the spirit and divine soul.
This level cultivates spirit and conception.
And the ordinary-looking man opposite Yun Shanhe was clearly an Immortal Dao cultivator.
For the Immortal Dao, cultivation on the ntal level is even more crucial, and it is their area of expertise.
A thought flickered in his mind, and his gaze swept toward the direction of the Star-picking Tower.
Relying on the Heavenly Eye’s abnormality, with just one glance, he saw through the details of the two.
On the physical level, Yun Shanhe was a notch higher.
And neither of the two had reached the First Grade Mixed Elent Realm.
In the First Grade Mixed Yuan, essence, qi, and spirit achieve a perfect balance, blending into unity, and manifesting within the body.
As for the Unity Realm, essence, qi, and spirit blend into one, condensing golden divine power.
Divine power fills the flesh and blood of the body, and every move can unleash an unparalleled force.
This, he had long since observed in the royal capital with the Heavenly Eye.
And yet, with these two, he didn’t even see a hint of divine power.
Jiang Ning then let out a long breath in his heart.
Up until today, he had full confidence in facing those below the first grade.
As for the first grade, the Mixed Elent Realm and Unity Realm are each different.
Having never engaged them directly, he dared not leap to conclusions.
But below the first grade, he had absolute confidence.
"In that case, I’ll use these two to asure my current peak state! Since they have already set their sights on , avoidance is futile!" As he made up his mind, he ca to a decision.
Now, with both Zhong Ling and Lv Yi still at the mansion, he could not sit and watch the two fall into danger without any action.
"After dealing with these two, I’ll simply head to the royal capital to pass the new year! In less than half a month’s ti, I may attempt to enter the first-grade realm!"
"If I reach the first grade, with my accumulation, my strength within the ranks of peak first-grade martial artists will undoubtedly not be weak!"
"By then, I will be able to cope with many dangerous situations."
"And given the subsequent months of settling, by the beginning of next spring, I will truly be a peak first-grade martial artist."
In an instant, he made up his mind.
Then, he looked toward the direction of his mansion and directly used the Sound Transmission into Secret Skill.
...
At the sa ti.
In the mansion.
Lv Yi, who was clearing away the snow, suddenly stopped her actions, with a look of surprise.
The next mont, her expression changed slightly but continued to sweep the snow ahead as if nothing had happened, piling it to the side, then went to find Zhong Ling.
anwhile.
Zhong Ling, sitting by the hearth reading, put down the book on the desk, then pretended to poke at the burning coal, making the fire burn more fiercely.
A mont later.
Lv Yi arrived at Zhong Ling’s room, invited Zhong Ling to go shopping for groceries with her.
...
On the other side.
The mont Zhong Ling and Lv Yi walked out of the mansion’s gate.
The ordinary-looking man far away in the Star-picking Tower suddenly changed his expression slightly.
"What’s wrong?" Yun Shanhe, sitting across from him, imdiately asked.
"Two people have left the mansion!" The ordinary-looking man said.
He then stroked the table, and the water waves began to ripple, bringing a distant image before them.
"Probably nothing, they must be going out to buy so things." The ordinary-looking man spoke after looking at their attire.
Yun Shanhe nodded at those words.
"Don’t worry about them! Just wait for that Dongling Marquis to appear! Until then, allow any comings and goings freely."
The ordinary-looking man nodded in agreent.
Then waved a hand over the table, wiping away the water trails, and the image disappeared before them.
The two n continued drinking.
...
On the other side.
Jiang Ning waited calmly, waiting for Lv Yi and Zhong Ling to walk far away.
Walking several streets away, still without any movent, he finally felt at ease.
In that next mont.
His figure appeared at the end of the street.
Then ca to the front of his mansion.
He ascended the steps, pushing open the slightly ajar door.
At the sa ti.
In the distant Star-picking Tower.
The ordinary-looking man sitting opposite Yun Shanhe changed his expression again.
"What happened?" Yun Shanhe asked again.
"Soone has entered Dongling Marquis’ ho." The ordinary-looking man said, then lifted a hand and wiped it over the table, spreading the wine on it.
Amidst the ripple of water, an image of Jiang Ning Mansion appeared before them on the table.
Seeing the scene within the water’s ripples, Yun Shanhe’s expression changed suddenly.
"He’s back!!"
"Who ca back?" The ordinary-looking man asked and then imdiately realized: "It’s him? Dongling Marquis?!!"
Watching Yun Shanhe’s suddenly serious expression, the man nodded slowly.
Seeing Yun Shanhe’s confirming gaze, the man suddenly stood up, his eyes shining brightly.
"Let’s go! Since that Dongling Marquis has returned, we should understand the situation!"
Yun Shanhe also nodded, standing up in agreent.
"It should be understood."
...
A mont later.
At Jiang Ning Mansion.
Two figures silently appeared on the rooftop.
Then their gaze swept over, seeing Jiang Ning blowing at the coal fire.
"The dignified Dongling Marquis, a second-grade great grandmaster, and yet still burning charcoal for warmth!" The ordinary-looking man revealed a disdainful look.
There was always an air of an unchallenged superiority in his deanor.
"It’s ti to act!" Yun Shanhe said.
"Indeed, ti to act!" The ordinary-looking man nodded in agreent.
In the next mont.
With a thought.
Zheng—
In all directions, a clear and distant sword hum suddenly resounded.
In an instant.
A sword diagram appeared in the sky above Jiang Ning Mansion.
Countless sharp auras rose with it.
"That’s!!!" Bai Luoyu, four hundred ters away, suddenly looked toward Jiang Ning’s mansion, his pupils narrowing sharply.
The rising sharp aura made his whole body bristle, feeling that just by looking, his eyes were stinging.
"Sothing major has happened!!" The thought imdiately surged within him, feeling a sense of unease.
...
In the royal capital.
At the Observatory.
"My lord, sothing’s gone wrong!" The previously calm Observatory was suddenly disrupted by a panic-stricken voice.
Before the Heavenly Disc, a long-browed silhouette suddenly appeared.
"Sothing’s wrong!!" The newly appeared figure’s face changed dramatically at the image presented on the Heavenly Disc in front of him: "The Cave Heaven Blessed Land people have indeed set their sights on him! The great array has cut off the Heavenly Disc’s investigation, forming a trap-kill situation, the Dongling Marquis is in danger!"
"My lord, what should we do?" soone beside him asked for instructions.
"We remain in the royal capital, and this Dongling Marquis has returned to Dongling City, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire, quickly go to command the White Immortal Lady, let her channel most of her strength into the paper man in Dongling City." The long-browed silhouette said.
"Yes, my lord!" The voice fell, and the sound imdiately pulled out a communication talisman to contact.
anwhile.
The long-browed silhouette watched the completely rising great array on the Heavenly Disc, his brows filled with worry.
"Even if the White Immortal Lady is fast, with the paper man in Dongling City, it still requires thirty breaths of ti!"
"If you wish to survive, you must at least hold on for thirty breaths of ti!"
The long-browed silhouette murmured softly to himself.
At this mont.
Even with the Heavenly Disc overseeing the world, seeing the rise of the great array in Dongling City.
However, as the great array was fully activated, the sword array instantly cut off this investigative power from outside the formation.
At this mont, the long-browed figure could only see the rising great array and sword diagram.
"You absolutely must hold on!!"
...
Inside the sword array.
Only ten breaths’ ti, finish quickly!!
Yun Shanhe’s voice resounded.
