knife against Ouyang Jing's neck.And those ten men in black, armed with fire weapons, reacted swiftly, spreading out within the factory and surrounding Ye Bufan in a semicircle.When Yan Xuemin first...Inside the Heavenly Peak Empire's Imperial Palace, Empress Dowager Hua Ziyue sat on the main seat. Opposite her were two beautiful young women, Li Qingzhu and Chu Lingxi, who were the vice-deans of Shuimu University.

During Ye Bufan's absence, Shumu University developed and grew at an unprecedented rate, now becoming the most prestigious academy in the entire Tianfeng Empire.

Li Daoran was used to a leisurely lifestyle and didn't bother with the practical affairs of the academy, so he appointed Li Qingzhu and Chu Lingxi as vice-presidents. They were responsible for most of the daily tasks.

Before Ye Bufan left, he left a wealth of cultivation resources for the academy. The two of them already possessed excellent aptitudes.

Under the aid of a large number of pills, he has now entered the early stage of Void Core.

Compared to Jiang Fangzhou and Lu Xueman, this speed is nothing, but for ordinary cultivators, it's astonishingly fast.

The Dowager Empress Hua Ziyue was originally a woman skilled in dancing and wielding influence. Over the many years she spent in the palace, she became extremely cunning and adept at navigating interpersonal relationships.

She was aware of the relationship between Shuimu University, the two girls in front of her, and Ye Bufan. She had always gotten along extremely well with them.

It can be said that it has provided a lot of help to the academy in terms of both people and money.

Over time, the three of them became good friends. They would often get together to chat and catch up, occasionally bringing up Ye Bufan.

Hua Zi Yue said, “In the blink of an eye, it's been almost a year since Doctor Ye left. I wonder when she will be back.”

Upon hearing her words, Li Qingzhu's expressions immediately fell.

They knew Ye Bufan's background well and knew that he had to return to another world, whether they could meet again in this lifetime was still uncertain.

Huo Zi Yue is a very intelligent woman, she can tell from the two people's reactions that there is something else going on.

Just as he was about to change the subject, a young eunuch rushed in from outside.

"Your Majesty, two people have arrived outside. They claim to be from the Xianwei Sect and their sect leader wishes to see you."

"Xianwei Sect"

Hua Ziyue frowned, this name was strange to her, she had never heard it in the Tianfeng Empire.

She looked at the two girls opposite her: "Sisters, have you ever heard of the Xianwei Sect"

Chu Lingxi and the other person both shook their heads, they had never heard of it before.

They are all nameless nobodies. Tell them I will never see them again!

As soon as Hua Zi Yue finished speaking, a arrogant voice came over.

The empress dowager of such a small Tianfeng Empire dares to put on airs like this, refusing to see this sect master I really don't know who gave her the courage

As soon as he spoke, a cacophony of fighting erupted outside the palace walls, growing steadily closer. It was clear that the palace guards were no match for the intruders.

Hua Zi Yue's expression changed slightly. Ever since Ye Bu Fan had helped her stabilize the regime, the royal family held immense prestige within the Tian Feng Empire.

Today, out of nowhere, a group from the Xianwei Sect barged into the palace. And from their appearance, they seem to be incredibly powerful.

The other party's speed was indeed extremely fast. Before she could even react, two figures had already appeared in front of the main hall doors.

At the front was a young man around thirty years old, with an arrogant expression. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Hunyuan stage.

This guy was merciless, taking down over a dozen guards in the blink of an eye. Not one of them escaped unscathed.

Behind him followed a middle-aged man with black hair and a long beard. He appeared cultured and refined, but his face held an unmistakable arrogance, and he exuded an aura of immense power.

"Who dares to intrude What boldness!"

Li Qingzhu, whose temper was already fiery, roared and charged forward, raising her hand to strike the young man's chest.

Now that he has reached the early stage of Void Profound, his attack when enraged naturally carries a different kind of power.

The young man before him was originally arrogant. He had inquired beforehand and learned that the Tianfeng Empire was truly weak, with the strongest warrior in the entire imperial city only at the peak of the Hunyuan stage, comparable to himself.

That was precisely why he acted so recklessly, brazenly barging into the palace. Along his path, he hadn't encountered any formidable opponents.

I never expected to meet a powerful cultivator of the Void Core Realm here. I was taken aback for a moment.

"Master, save me!"

This guy was no longer arrogant. He cried for help while retreating.

"What a bold move, to dare injure my disciple!"

The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, then flashed before Li Qingzhu, his wide sleeves suddenly flaring.

Li Qingzhu's palm strike was instantly neutralized, and at the same time, a crushing force surged towards her.

"Be careful, Qingzhu!"

Beside her, Chu Lingxi cried out in alarm. This middle-aged man had reached the peak of the Void Realm. Such strength was far beyond what Li Qingzhu could handle.

Li Qingzhu also realized something was wrong, and the true essence in her body frantically circulated.

It's a pity that the gap between the two was too great, the whole person was shaken and flew out, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Qingzhu, are you alright"

Chu Lingxi hurriedly helped Li Qingzhu who had fallen, using her true essence to calm the turbulent qi and blood within her.

"I'm fine!"

Li Qingzhu stood up stubbornly, her eyes growing increasingly fierce.

The middle-aged man looked at the two people in front of him and nodded repeatedly: "Both little girls are good, join my Xianwei Sect! I guarantee you'll have a bright future."

Li Qingzhu spat fiercely: "Bah, bull** Xianwei Sect, daydreaming!"

"What guts you have, to be disrespectful to my master!"

Seeing the middle-aged man repulse Li Qingzhu with a single move, the young man regained his confidence.

"Forget it, don't mind it. Missing this opportunity is their loss."

The middle-aged man waved his hand dismissively, looking as if they had suffered a major loss.

Hua Ziyue was shocked by the scene before her.

She was very clear about how powerful Li Qingzhu was now, and she didn't expect to be defeated in one move. This showed how formidable the opponent was.

But after all, he was the head of state. Though startled, he remained calm and waved away the guards who had just rushed in, then asked coldly,

"Who are you"

The middle-aged man wore a look of arrogance on his face, "I am Xia Houzhen, the headmaster of Xianwei Sect, and this is my eldest disciple, Zhan Fei."

Hua Zi Yue asked: "Xia Hou Sect Leader, what brings you to my Tian Feng Empire"

"I've come to bring you all a tremendous opportunity from the Heavenly Peak Empire."

Xiahou Zhen said, "From now on, my Xianwei Sect will establish a branch in your Tianfeng Empire."

Hua ZiYue's brows furrowed instantly. These two people clearly weren't here for good, and she hadn't expected them to stay in the Tianfeng Empire.

Xiahou Zhen wore an air of superiority: “It is your fortune that the Immortal Guard Sect chose your Tianfeng Empire, so you must cooperate fully.”

First, prepare ten thousand outstanding disciples within three days.

Secondly, all cultivation resources within the sect will be fully provided by your Tianfeng Empire from now on. There is to be no excuse or shirking of responsibility whatsoever.

Finally, prepare a sect residence for the Xianwei Sect. I think the location of Shui Mu University is quite good, so let's use that place.

Get them out within three days, and after that, that place will belong to my Xiānwèi Zong sect.

"That's it for the requirements for now. I'll let you know if anything else comes to mind."mang stared intently at the dozen or so pills: "Boy, hand over these pills, and we'll call it a day. From now on, with us brothers watching over you, no one will dare to bother your Cloud Wind Academ...
