Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 270 Half-Step Land Immortal Realm!

The agonizing thumping sounds continued, but the Princess and Zhou Wei, standing on the upper floor, remained calm.

In a courtyard within the Prince's residence, the eldest prince and the second prince sat inside.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, both princes' expressions darkened.

The eldest prince immediately looked at the people guarding them inside the house.

"Huo Shan, what are you doing? Are you planning to assassinate the emperor?"

The crown prince is also a ruler!

If the officials of the Prince's Palace were to make a move against Jiang Yueli, it would be tantamount to rebellion.

Huo Shan remained calm: "Your Highness, please calm down. How dare we harm the Crown Prince?"

"If you didn't dare to harm Yue Li, why did you let that person do it?" The Second Prince was furious.

Huo Shan was too lazy to explain, and only replied indifferently: "Elder Xun has his reasons for taking action."

"As the Crown Princess, she holds a noble status, and we naturally dare not overstep our bounds."

"But who is Zhou Wei? A mere military officer from the Princess's residence, how dare she act so presumptuously in the Prince of Ling's mansion?"

"Old Xun's actions this time were merely to make an example of us, so that these people would never dare to underestimate us again."

The eldest and second princes were furious, but they were restrained and unable to act.

The entire hall was very quiet, and everyone was listening intently to the sounds outside.

Everyone knows that Elder Xun is a cultivator.

Over the years, any outsiders who dared to stand up for the two princes have died at the hands of Elder Xun.

Elder Xun is worth a thousand troops by himself. This time he is only going to kill a few ordinary people. He should be able to succeed in a short while.

Huo Shan said, "The relationship between Elder Xun and His Majesty is extraordinary. Let alone killing a few henchmen, even if he were to harm the Crown Princess, His Majesty would forgive him as long as Elder Xun comes forward to explain."

Huo Shan's confidence made the eldest and second princes even more worried.

The eldest prince looked out the window, pondered for a long time, and was about to shout to remind Jiang Yueli.

However, Huo Shan threatened him, saying, "Your Highness, I advise you not to do anything, otherwise someone else will suffer."

The Spirit King's face turned deathly pale instantly, and even while sitting, his body swayed precariously.

The second prince reached out to support him and whispered, "Brother, don't be impulsive. The princess can't take any more shocks."

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince's eyes welled up with tears, and he closed them in anguish.

"Fine, it's my incompetence! If anything happens to Yue Li, I'll die with her."

At that moment, the thumping sound on the street suddenly stopped.

The hearts of the eldest and second princes jumped into their throats, but Huo Shan revealed a smug smile.

"Old Xun has arrived!"

In the darkness, the princess and Zhou Wei clearly saw a figure fly into the courtyard.

Although he was hunched over, he was agile and nimble; he was the same old man who had received everyone at the post station that day.

The old man was no longer the dejected and powerless man he once was; he had a ruddy complexion, white hair, and was full of vigor.

His dark eyes gazed at the princess and Zhou Wei on the upper floor, a contemptuous smile on his face!

Just as he was about to climb the wall to the attic, a writing brush suddenly flew towards him.

Old Xun gently turned to the side, the brush brushing across his cheek before embedding itself directly into the wall!

Tan Lin slowly walked out into the darkness.

Elder Xun stepped back, glanced at Tan Lin, and sneered, "A mere Grandmaster dares to be arrogant in front of me?"

Tan Lin did not answer, but instead smiled and attacked Elder Xun again.

Tan Lin's actions clearly angered the other party.

With a swift movement of his feet, Xun Lao charged straight at Tan Lin before Tan Lin could get close, and his speed was even faster than Tan Lin's.

Before Tan Lin could react, Elder Xun struck him on the shoulder with a palm strike.

boom--

Tan Lin was knocked away and crashed heavily to the ground!

Old Xun looked down at him as if he were looking at an ant.

"Although your cultivation level is low, you come from a legitimate lineage. I am not here for you, so I will let you go for now."

Blood trickled from the corner of Tan Lin's mouth. Without saying a word, he clutched his shoulder and took two steps back.

Seeing that he was so sensible, Old Man Xun was in a great mood.

He addressed the person in the pavilion, saying, "Your Highness, I have come here for only one person. If Your Highness can make her commit suicide, I will leave this courtyard."

Before the princess could speak, Zhou Wei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You old codger, your words are all cryptic and convoluted, what kind of wise man are you pretending to be?"

"Why don't you just say you want to take my life? You're so ignorant, trying to beat around the bush like others. It's ridiculous."

A flash of anger crossed Old Xun's face.

Since his breakthrough in cultivation, when has he ever suffered such humiliation?

Moreover, what Zhou Wei said hit the nail on the head, which only intensified his murderous intent!

The eldest princess then said, "Mr. Tan's cultivation has reached the Grandmaster level, yet he couldn't withstand your attack. This shows how high your cultivation level is."

"On my side, there is indeed no one who can rival you."

Old Master Xun chuckled lightly, "It's good that Your Highness knows. Among all of you, only that child has some ability, but he wasn't here today. I suppose he's already fled for his life?"

"I'll say it again: I'm here solely to take Zhou Wei's life. She's eccentric and lawless; Ningzhou Prefecture will not tolerate her!"

"The Crown Princess should not be served by such a person. I have a very good personal relationship with His Majesty and can be considered your elder. Your Highness should heed the words of an elder!"

The eldest princess smiled and shook her head, but Elder Xun did not understand her meaning.

"Your Highness, why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at you for being an idiot, for being stupid, for rushing to your death, and for liking to show off!"

As Zhou Wei spoke, she activated her Lingbo Weibu technique and jumped directly down from the attic.

Seeing Zhou Wei's ghostly movements, Elder Xun was greatly alarmed and involuntarily took a few steps back.

After landing safely, Zhou Wei mocked him, "Weren't you going to take my life? I've delivered myself to your doorstep, why are you scared away?"

Apart from the two people facing off, the eldest princess and Tan Lin were just spectators in the courtyard.

Provoked by Zhou Wei, Xun Lao lost face and stopped talking nonsense, raising his hand to attack Zhou Wei.

Zhou Wei stood still, her gaze calm.

Tan Lin had never seen Zhou Wei make a move before, and seeing that Zhou Wei was not moving, he couldn't help but feel anxious!

However, before he could even offer a word of warning, he saw that Elder Xun, who had been as impenetrable as a wall of copper and iron, was flying straight back like a kite with a broken string!

His body slammed into the courtyard wall with a loud bang!

Boom—

The body of a Celestial Realm expert is already indestructible, and the wall collapsed with a crash under Elder Xun's impact.

He fell to the ground, touching the blood seeping from the corner of his lips, staring at Zhou Wei in shock.

"You...you're just an ordinary person, how dare you injure me?"

Zhou Wei laughed and said, "Don't flatter yourself. I didn't hurt you, I slapped you away!"

Zhou Wei raised her right hand and waved it.

"See that? My palm, as big as a fan, never misses. When I slap someone, even a terrestrial immortal would say it feels good."

"Old man, are you enjoying this?"

Zhou Wei's words made Tan Lin frown.

Although the words were rough but the reasoning was sound, Zhou Dianjun's words were just too rough.

That's incredibly vulgar language!

Elder Xun could not bear such humiliation. His internal energy surged, and his cultivation level rapidly increased.

His clothes, beard, and hair began to sway in the wind.

A strong wind suddenly swept through the courtyard.

Zhou Wei's expression turned serious. She had just slapped Xun Lao away.

The system, which had been inactive for a long time, issued a notification.

[The host initiated an attack on Elder Xun, triggering a cultivation feedback skill.]

[Elder Xun's current cultivation level: Half-step Land Immortal Realm.]

Old Xun looked at Zhou Wei, his eyes filled with savagery.

"You're very good. I've suppressed my cultivation for over a decade, and you're the first person I've ever wanted to kill with all my might!"
