In that situation. When he received the imperial court's unfair letter of appointment, Chu Yinan already knew that the Emperor was afraid of him or the Northwest Army.

At that time, with Chu Huainan's strength, he really had the ability to stand on his own against the government that was still in a stalemate with the martial nation. However, Chu Huainan did not have that kind of intention, but Chu Huainan did not have it, so that did not mean that Emperor Chu did not suspect him. For the next few months, the imperial government made things difficult for the Northwest Army, and sent people to take over important positions in the Northwest. Chu Huainan knew that if this went on, it would make the soldiers unhappy.

In the end, Chu Huainan had no choice but to make the most wrong decision in his life. He found Wang Mingyang, got Wang Mingyang to bestow upon him the Sword Seed of the Netherworld Sword, and protected the child from being harmed. Then, he sent Tie Bugui to raise his child in a small town in the northwest, while he claimed that he lost him during the war with Mo Bei.

This finally eased the Emperor's suspicion towards him, the Northwest King. After all, no matter how powerful he was, he had already lost his son. In the future, the Northwest King would have the final say.

If he was given another chance, he would rather give up on the principle of being the sovereign and vassal in his heart. He would raise his troops to rebel, and stop watching his wife wash her face with tears every day, and let his child suffer the torment of Wang Ming Yang's Nether Spring Sword Seed.

He knew clearly that when he was ordered to ride his horse into the martial arts world, he would definitely cause a lot of people in the martial arts world to resent him, just like the guest that was going to arrive tonight. However, he did not blame or complain about these people, but this Wang Mingyang had actually deceived him, and most importantly, he had almost harmed his child.

Chu Yinan would not let him off so easily. It didn't matter if he was a Daoist or an ox, or if he was invincible. He swore in his heart that after this matter with Mo Bei was settled, he would definitely trample on Wu Dang Mountain and kill all of these old Daoist noses.

"Sigh, my mind was really muddled by this foolish loyalty back then."

The old general sighed. Although he regretted his decision back then, he didn't have any thoughts of conspiring against them now that he had found his son. The old general sighed, even though he regretted his decision back then, he didn't have any thoughts of conspiring against his son now that he had found his son.

"..."

Even though he had just entered the Grandmaster Realm, he still carried the name of a Grandmaster. Aside from the demon-level Murong Qian Xun, he had never heard of anyone else who could defeat a Grandmaster in a battle, let alone someone below the first rank.

Old Wang brought Xu Qingzhi and Mo Yunchang with him as they made their way to Duke Huai Palace. They avoided Lin Chengyan's blockade and cleverly snuck onto the street opposite Duke Huai Palace.

"Let's do it here. If we go any further, we'll easily be exposed."

Xu Qingzhi did not understand why this Old Wang had brought him to Duke Huai Palace. He had originally thought that he was carrying an Imperial Consort, which was also his birth mother, who had received the news to see him. He pondered for a long time along the way, but when he saw that a storm was brewing in Duke Huai Palace, he was a little confused.

"Senior, why have we come here?"

The Old Wang did not look at Xu Qingzhi, but stared fixedly at the front gate of Duke Huai Palace.

"I didn't think that Duke Huai Palace would be so heavily guarded that they even sealed off the surrounding streets in order to prevent your assassination. Who would have thought that you didn't even think of assassinating them. Or rather, you didn't think of sneaking around to assassinate them."

In front of Duke Huai Palace's main entrance, a black cheongsam carrying a sword had broken through the door.

"Peng!"

The loud sound overshadowed the explosion of the Flowers during the Lantern Festival. Xu Qingzhi subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that the front gate of Duke Huai Palace had already collapsed amidst a cloud of dust.

Qing Shiyu rushed in and the patrolling guards didn't know what to do. After all, who would have thought that someone would dare to break through the door and enter Chu Huainan's residence while he was still in the Grandmaster Realm? Qing Shiyu scattered the formation for a moment as her black clothes and white sword created a rain of blood. Under the moonlight and exploding flowers that filled the sky, the scene looked somewhat bewitching.

"Is this the Blade Master?"

Xu Qingzhi mumbled to himself as he suddenly thought of something.

"Could she be trying to assassinate Duke Huai?"

Thinking of this, the youth could not help but look at Old Wang with concern.

"Don't worry, even if Chu Huainan is injured, he is not someone a new grandmaster can deal with."

As he spoke, Old Wang carried the stunned Mo Yunchang along with him as he flew up to the roof of Duke Huai Palace.

"..."

Chu Yinan was also caught unprepared by Qing Shiyu. He did not expect this girl to attack him head on. When he understood this point, he felt admiration for her. Since he knew he wasn't a match for Ye Xiao, he didn't want to do that sneaky thing. He might as well have a fair fight instead. He didn't want to succeed, he just wanted to show this man that he had a temper.

Qing Shi Yu looked at the young man with the white robe and silver spear in front of him. After a while, he said, "You are not him." Following that, he raised his sword and stepped forward. The young soldier who had disguised himself as Murong QianXun did indeed have a bit of strength, and should be between the second and third grade.

Xu Qingzhi looked at the white-robed general who had been beaten to the point where he had no strength to fight back, and slightly creased his brow.

"That's not Murong Qianchen. It should be Lin Chengyan's scheme. Murong Qianchen should still be in the Northwest Army Camp right now."

Hearing Old Wang's words, Xu Qing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He didn't know when he would be able to meet the white-robed general in person.

As Xu Qing's thoughts were wandering, Qing Shiyu's sword had already sent the white-robed general's spear flying, stabbing at his face.

"Argh!"

At this critical moment, a loud shout came from inside the house. Qing Shanyu immediately gave up on her easy to obtain victory. She sheathed her sword and turned around. Her sword was about to block Chu Huainan's spear.

The huge impact forced Qing Shiyu to retreat all the way to the front of the mansion before she managed to withstand the force to stabilize her body.

"What a powerful spear technique!"

Even though she had been prepared for this, she was still shocked by Chu Huainan's strength. As expected of the grandmaster of martial arts who could fight against Wang Mingyang for several days.

Qing Shiyu swung the sword with the blood on it. She raised it horizontally and pointed it at Chu Huainan. The three hundred soldiers had already surrounded Qing Shiyu. She knew that there was no chance for them to survive tonight. In truth, she had already thought about it when she first arrived. Regardless of whether this matter would succeed or not, her attitude had already been very decisive. She hoped that the martial artists of her generation would be able to compete with her.

"Karakorum Sword Sect, Qing Shiyu. Today, I have a senior apprentice brother with a hidden dragon sword. He is the special disciple of the martial arts world. I would like to seek an explanation from your highness Duke Huai."
