Chapter 1965: Then Be Careful, Sister

"How... is this possible?!"

In the bamboo pavilion, the scholars glanced at one another in shock.

They were considered important figures of the Dongsheng Empire, and their connections with the martial world were fairly extensive. They also possessed a slight understanding of the abilities of the world's peak existences.

For instance, they had long guessed that Divine Fist Lu would be no match for the Blind Sword Saint. However, never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that the Blind Sword Saint wouldn't be able to last a single move against the Taia Palace Master.

Whether he drew his sword or not, what difference did it make?

The woman in white looked at the Blind Sword Saint buried beneath the rubble and spoke indifferently. "I already told you. On the Immortal Path, I have already reached the very end."

Her tone carried a kind of aloof pride, yet one could even hear a faint trace of loneliness. It was as if she stood alone atop the clouds, looking down upon the ants of the mortal world. In this entire world, there was no longer anyone capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with her.

Fang Chen and Lang Daochun looked at each other. Neither mocked her. In fact, they felt emotional themselves. Not even they knew where the true summit of this vast universe lay.

"The Palace Master... is already an immortal..." Divine Fist Lu muttered to himself, his face filled with fanatical worship.

Only now did the three captains of the God Martial Division recover from their shock. Shaken as they were, they immediately ordered their subordinates to seize Li Guozhu.

Now that the Blind Sword Saint had fallen, there was no one left capable of protecting Li Guozhu. The manor's low-level guards never could.

This was their opportunity!

Seeing that the grand outcome was right at hand, the breathing of the three captains grew somewhat hurried. However, knowing there were still two hidden experts in the Li Manor, a trace of vigilance remained in their eyes.

Inside the tea house, Wu Qingfeng exchanged a glance with the person beside him. In each other's eyes, they saw surprise, solemnity, delight, and caution.

"The Master of Taia Palace's abilities have truly become unfathomable. If she stormed the imperial palace, wouldn't she—"

Wu Qingfeng shook his head. "She won't. She agreed to descend the mountain because my father had some friendship with her when he was young. Having her help arrest Li Guozhu is already the limit. If we asked her to head to the imperial palace, she wouldn't go."

A smile appeared on his face. "As long as I can drag Li Guozhu to the God Martial Division today, my father will be the one ruling the Dongsheng Empire. It doesn't matter if we storm the palace or not."

"What about those two hidden experts?"

Wu Qingfeng sneered disdainfully. "Nothing but trash."

***

Li Guozhu paid no attention to the God Martial Division experts rushing toward him.

Instead, he began pulling away the rubble, trying to dig the Blind Sword Saint out. However, he wasn't a martial artist. He was only a scholar. Merely pulling a few stones off him left Li Guozhu gasping for breath.

Li Aman had already led his men to Li Guozhu's side and was just about to place iron shackles around him.

"Brother, wait a moment."

"Wait your—"

Li Aman's expression darkened. He was just about to curse when he saw Lang Daochun smiling pleasantly at him. He was immediately stunned. He subconsciously looked toward the Taia Palace Master.

"Palace Master, I heard that two reclusive experts are staying in the Li Manor. It should be these two."

Divine Fist Lu swept his gaze over Fang Chen's group before finally settling on Fang Chen and Lang Daochun.

As for Fairy Yu, Fang Xiaohua, and the servants of the Li Manor, he paid them no attention whatsoever.

Lang Daochun casually waved his hand. The rubble was instantly swept away, revealing the Blind Sword Saint underneath.

Li Guozhu immediately supported the Blind Sword Saint to stand up before slowly retreating behind Lang Daochun.

Li Aman was secretly relieved. Fortunately, he hadn't cursed them, or he would have become a corpse by now.

The Blind Sword Saint had regained some clarity by now. He glanced apprehensively at the Taia Palace Master. "This woman's abilities are incredible."

He whispered to Li Guozhu, "Find a way to leave. I'll see if I can still block her."

Lang Daochun smiled faintly. "There's no need for that. Just leave this matter to us."

Gratitude appeared in Li Guozhu's eyes, and he nodded.

The Blind Sword Saint sized up Lang Daochun with a strange expression, then glanced questioningly at Li Guozhu. When Li Guozhu nodded slightly, he realized that this man had to be one of the experts who had moved into the Li Manor a few days ago.

Originally, he had dismissed the two of them entirely and never taken them seriously. But now, seeing that they hadn't fled even when faced with today's situation, he had to admit that regardless of how capable they were, they at least had courage.

The Blind Sword Saint reminded them, "Seniors, that's the Taia Palace Master. She may have already entered the Dao through martial arts, so please be careful."

Lang Daochun smiled. "It doesn't matter. We won't be the ones fighting anyway."

The Blind Sword Saint was stunned.

At this time, the Taia Palace Master had finished scrutinizing Fang Chen and Lang Daochun. "Is this your first time in the Dongsheng Empire?"

Lang Daochun smiled and nodded. "It is my first time coming."

Fang Chen smiled. "I, on the other hand, have been here many times."

First time coming? Been here many times?

Everyone felt that there was probably some hidden meaning behind their words.

The Taia Palace Master pointed at the Blind Sword Saint. "What do you two intend to do? Will you stand in my way like he did?"

Fang Chen smiled. "We're not the ones who will stop you."

Fairy Yu stepped forward slowly. "That's right. It isn't Senior Fang and his companion who will stop you, but me."

Fang Xiaohua didn't follow her. She merely watched with smiling eyes.

Li Guozhu was stunned. Then he hurriedly shouted in a low voice, "Yu'er, what are you doing? Come back!"

Fairy Yu said, "Father, it's alright. Senior Fang taught me a few techniques. I might really be able to stop the Taia Palace Master."

Li Guozhu was rendered completely speechless. He wanted Fang Xiaohua to pull her back, but Fang Xiaohua acted like she was deaf.

After hearing Fairy Yu's words, everyone present had more or less the same reaction as Li Guozhu. Strange expressions appeared on their faces. They felt that this young woman simply didn't know any better.

How could she fool around at a time like this?

***

The tea house.

Wu Qingfeng shook his head. "Li Yu'er has always been quite clever. Why is she messing around at a time like this? Does she really think learning a few techniques from those two is enough for her to deal with the Taia Palace Master?"

The man beside him also wore a mocking expression. "Perhaps she is deliberately putting on an act, and those two are the ones who will truly make a move. Should we warn the Taia Palace Master to be careful?"

Wu Qingfeng shook his head. "No need. The Blind Sword Saint didn't even last one move against her. Can those two even do anything?"

***

The Taia Palace Master looked at Fairy Yu with a half-smile. "You have never practiced martial arts. How are you planning to stop me?"

"I will use that wondrous method Senior Fang taught me. Senior Fang said that once I learned it, there would at least be no one in Dongsheng capable of defeating me. It just so happens that my talent isn't bad. Today, I finally mastered it."

Fairy Yu looked at the Taia Palace Master without fear. "Sister, you are so beautiful, but unfortunately you wish to be an enemy of my father. So I will have to use the wondrous method Senior Fang taught me and exchange a few moves with you."

The Taia Palace Master pointed at Fang Chen. "Is he the one you are referring to?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, she couldn't help shaking her head slightly. She then smiled at Fairy Yu. "Come then, let me see what is so extraordinary about that wondrous method of yours."

"Then, be careful, sister..."

As Fairy Yu spoke, a vast and powerful surge of spiritual energy had already enveloped her entire body.
