Not long ago, at a section of the city wall some distance from the gate.Two figures were also paying close attention to the commotion at the city gate: Wei Shanhai and Wei Xinghe. The position they chose was quite clever. It was at a corner, avoiding Wang Cangyi's line of sight and just outside his precelestial sensing range. The sensing of qi between precelestial realms also had its limits. Beyond a certain distance, it could no longer be sensed. If one deliberately restrained their qi, this distance could even be shortened to around a hundred meters. Having grown up in Cang County, Wei Shanhai was intimately familiar with the city’s layout. Finding a spot that avoided Wang Cangyi's sight and senses while observing the gate was naturally not difficult. Thus, while everyone wondered why the Wei family hadn't appeared. They were unaware that Wei Shanhai and Wei Xinghe had long been on the city wall, lying in wait. As a result, they too witnessed the battle between Lu Qing and the burly man. Shocked, they also saw an opportunity. The burly man was seriously injured, and the Tian Cang Sect had temporarily lost a master-level combatant. Now was the best time to retrieve Ningyan and Zian. After a brief discussion, the two moved, rushing out from the corner towards the ox cart. However, their momentum immediately caught Wang Cangyi's attention. He leaped down from the city gate, sword pointing at Wei Shanhai. "Xinghe, quick, I can only hold him off for half a quarter of an hour!" Sensing Wang Cangyi's full force, Wei Shanhai's face changed, and he used a soft palm to send Wei Xinghe towards the ox cart. Simultaneously, his own aura exploded skyward. “Hahaha, Wang Cangyi, our century-long feud should be settled today. Let me see what progress you've made over these hundred years!” Laughing heartily, Wei Shanhai faced the airborne Wang Cangyi, a long saber suddenly appearing in his hand, slashing down. A fiery red blade qi tore through the air towards Wang Cangyi. At the same time, he roared, “Silver Moon Guards, form up and charge!” His voice echoed for ten miles, clearly heard throughout the county. The head steward of the Wei residence, upon hearing this, straightened his expression. He pointed his spear forward, “Men, charge with me!” “Yes!” The gates of the Wei residence opened, and led by the head steward, the Silver Moon Guards rode out like a silver dragon, swiftly heading towards the city gate. In just over ten breaths, they had reached the gate. “Those who block us will die!” Seeing some Tian Cang Sect disciples still blocking the gate, the head steward’s eyes gleamed fiercely. His qi linked with the Silver Moon Guards behind him, and his spear shook as he charged forward. The momentum from the charge had been accumulating, and now combined with the battle formation, the power of this spear reached its peak. Even a martial arts master at the peak of the Internal Organs Realm would struggle to withstand it. The Tian Cang Sect disciples blocking the gate, the strongest among them just having entered the Internal Organs Realm, didn't dare face this terrifying charge. They scrambled aside, giving way. Those who were slow were sent flying with a casual flick from the head steward, coughing blood, bones shattered, their lives uncertain. In an instant, the head steward and the Silver Moon Guards had burst through the gate, reaching the outside. “Why was it so easy to get out?” The head steward, smoothly out of the city gate, felt a bit puzzled. Having been on standby in the residence, he was unaware of the situation outside. But the anticipated resistance did not appear. The martial arts master who had once fought him also did not make a move. This made him uneasy. “Could it be a trap?” Just as the head steward raised his vigilance. He suddenly felt a wave of qi and pressure coming from ahead. His steed neighed in shock. He quickly looked forward to see two figures fighting. Red saber light and white sword qi intertwined, and the occasional clash of their powers made everyone’s hearts tremble. “Ancestor!” Recognizing the combatants, the head steward exclaimed. “Don't mind me, first escort Ningyan and the others into the city!” Wei Shanhai shouted. “Yes!” In no time, the head steward had spotted Mrs. Wei and the others, adjusted his spear, and led the Silver Moon Guards towards the ox cart. At the ox cart, Mrs. Wei and Wei Zian were in the midst of a joyous reunion.

Mrs. Wei, eyes brimming with tears, looked at her husband. “Good, very good, you’re all safe.” Wei Xinghe, though equally emotional, knew now was not the time for words. Hearing the approaching hoofbeats, he bowed deeply to Lu Qing and the others. “Thank you for escorting my wife and children safely. Please follow us back to the residence so that I may properly express my gratitude.” Just then, the head steward and the Silver Moon Guards surrounded the ox cart, protecting it. Mago looked at Lu Qing. Having just finished adjusting his breath, Lu Qing smiled, “It would be impolite to refuse. Master, let’s enter the city.” “Alright.” The old doctor nodded. Gently guiding the ox, he drove the cart towards the city gate. “Lu Xiaolangjun! Mago, Miss Xiaoyan?” The head steward, upon seeing the familiar faces, exclaimed. Even Xiaoyan was on the cart. And the old man driving the cart, though wearing a bamboo hat, was clearly the old doctor, whom Lu Qing called master. The head steward’s thoughts were in turmoil. If not for maintaining the Silver Moon Formation, he would have demanded an explanation. The old doctor, driving the ox cart, increased the speed by sending a burst of precelestial qi into the ox. With this boost, the ox moved like it had consumed a powerful tonic, galloping towards the city gate. However, just as they were halfway there, a figure crashed heavily in front of Lu Qing and the others—Wei Shanhai. “Ancestor!” Wei Xinghe and the others cried out in shock. Hadn’t the ancestor said he could hold on for half a quarter of an hour? How long had it been? Wei Shanhai was now in a sorry state. His hair was disheveled, his clothes tattered, and he had several deep wounds. “Hahaha, Wei Shanhai, your injuries haven’t healed. You’re using qi to suppress the sword qi I left in your heart. In such a state, you can’t even use thirty percent of your strength. How can you be my match?” Wang Cangyi, sword in hand, walked over step by step. The terrifying precelestial pressure oppressed everyone. And he was unscathed, his clothes intact. “Hmph! If not for your sneak attack that day, how could you be my match? Despicable! To think I once called you brother, it makes me sick!” Despite his severe injuries, Wei Shanhai sneered. “Stop flattering yourself. You never won against me back then. Even at your peak, you couldn’t beat me. Besides, the winner takes all. If I have a more efficient way to defeat you, why not use it?” Wang Cangyi's expression remained calm, unmoved by his former friend’s words. “In the end, you feared I had mastered that thing, so you dared only to ambush. It’s my fault for foolishly hoping you remembered our old friendship, when you never changed, always the hypocrite.” Wei Shanhai scoffed. “Enough talk. Will you hand it over?” Wang Cangyi no longer wished to argue, demanding coldly. “Dream on. You’ll never get it. I’d rather die than give it to you!” “Then I’ll kill you and wipe out your Wei family. I’ll find it myself!” Wang Cangyi’s eyes turned ruthless. He raised his hand, and a fierce sword qi shot towards Wei Shanhai. “Let’s see how you dodge this!” Behind Wei Shanhai was the entire Silver Moon Formation and Mrs. Wei and the others. If he dodged, the sword qi would destroy the formation, causing unknown casualties. Understanding this, Wei Shanhai smiled bitterly. He had no choice. Gathering his qi, he formed a red saber light. But he knew it couldn’t block Wang Cangyi's full-power sword qi. He started channeling the qi that was suppressing the sword qi in his heart into the saber light. This would make the sword qi in his heart erupt, destroying his heart. “Absolutely not.” Just then, a hand pressed against Wei Shanhai’s back. A gentle qi entered, calming the sword qi in his heart. At the same time, water vapor swirled, a transparent stream appearing before Wei Shanhai, meeting the white sword qi. The fierce white sword qi, encountering the water stream, was trapped like a fish in a net, unable to escape. Under the swirling water’s grinding, the sword qi shattered and dissipated. This sudden turn shocked everyone. Even Wang Cangyi's pupils contracted. “The old doctor?!” Mrs. Wei and the others exclaimed. The old doctor, who had been on the ox cart, was now behind Wei Shanhai. One hand on Wei Shanhai's back, the other pointing forward. The water stream had been his doing. “Sir, your heart is injured. Don’t force your qi, or your heart won’t withstand it.” After stabilizing Wei Shanhai’s almost erupting injury, the old doctor removed his hand, speaking gently. “Thank you for saving me.” Wei Shanhai looked at the old doctor, stunned. After several breaths, he reacted, quickly thanking him. His shock was indescribable. Not only had the old doctor effortlessly neutralized Wang Cangyi’s full-force sword qi. But he had also suppressed the sword qi in his heart with ease. Saving a person and countering an enemy. The realm and bearing the old doctor displayed in that instant. Made Wei Shanhai feel like he was looking up at a mountain. Yet, he sensed the old doctor’s qi was much weaker than his. The old doctor suddenly seemed shrouded in mystery, becoming unfathomable. Wang Cangyi felt similarly. He hadn’t expected his near-full-strength sword qi to be neutralized by someone weaker than him. And the old doctor didn’t seem strained. Wang Cangyi's dread of the old doctor soared. “Are you determined to be my enemy?” Wang Cangyi’s face darkened, his voice heavy. “I have no desire for enmity. I only hope you’ll show mercy and avoid unnecessary slaughter.” The old doctor spoke sincerely. “My feud with the Wei family is irreconcilable. If you won’t step aside, you’re my enemy. I’ll kill you too!” At this point, Wang Cangyi wouldn’t listen. Seeing the old doctor persist, his killing intent surged. His gaze turned cold, his precelestial qi rapidly circulating, his aura skyrocketing, suffocating everyone. Under this terrifying pressure, Wang Cangyi swung his sword, a torrent of sword qi engulfing the old doctor and Wei Shanhai. This time, Wang Cangyi truly unleashed his full power. Determined to crush the old doctor. Facing this torrent of precelestial sword qi, the old doctor’s expression grew serious. Forming a sword with his fingers, he slowly thrust forward. As he did, the surrounding elemental mist surged, water vapor appeared, countless water droplets forming. “Still.” With a soft command, the space seemed to freeze. The water droplets and sword qi were immobilized. “Break!” With another command, the water droplets turned into swords, meeting the sword qi, neutralizing and dissolving each other. When all the sword qi vanished, the water vapor dissipated, the sky cleared, and everything returned to calm. As if nothing had happened. But everyone knew it had been real. The terrifying precelestial power still loomed in their minds. Everyone was astounded by the old doctor’s miraculous means. Wang Cangyi was in disbelief. Muttering, “Precelestial Domain, transforming illusion into reality, how is this possible?” Table of content
