A secret agent, who was adept at teleportation to escape, was trapped in layers of spatial locking arrays, unable to move an inch, and was ultimately killed by a barrage of swords.
In the short time of an incense stick’s worth of time, all six of the Ministry of Justice’s elite spies were intercepted and killed on the spot, leaving no trace of their bodies or souls behind. The incident caused no stir and was not mentioned at all.
The entire battle took place in complete silence and secrecy, while the main hall of the mansion was still filled with laughter, cheers, and the booming of drums and music.
Unbeknownst to everyone present, the blood of a foreign enemy has been shed in the shadows, resulting in a swift and decisive purge.
Only Si Ying, the commander of the secret agent who remained in the abandoned ancient courtyard, realized that his six men had stopped breathing and their souls had perished. He broke out in cold sweat and felt incredible horror and fear sweep through his heart.
He knew the horror of the Lingxi secret guards and that staying behind would mean complete destruction. Without hesitation, he decisively sacrificed half of his lifespan and mobilized all his spiritual power to activate the forbidden escape technique.
He forcefully tore open the barrier sealing the Lingxi region, and fled the Lingxi main city region in a panic, suffering severe injuries and nearly dying.
After fleeing for a thousand miles, Si Ying coughed out a mouthful of blood, his body staggered, his face ashen, his eyes filled with incredible terror.
He stared intently at the brightly lit Lingxi main city, his teeth were clenched tightly, and he hissed in a low voice, “David! It’s really you! You really have completely conquered the Lingxi family!”
“Shennong Cauldron, Heavenly Elixir Technique, Immortal God’s power protection. You hid it so well! What a vicious plan!”
He endured the excruciating pain from his severe injuries and mustered the last of his strength to input all the secret information he had gathered into a communication jade talisman, which he then sent remotely to the Si Lu family’s core territory. After that, his body went limp, and he fainted completely and fell to the ground, where he was rescued secretly by the remaining Si Lu troops who were waiting for him in the distance.
In the void of Lingxi Palace, the law enforcement elder stared in the direction the enemy was fleeing, his brows furrowed and a trace of seriousness flashed in his eyes.
He had made every effort to encircle and exterminate them, but in the end, the enemy commander managed to break through the encirclement at the cost of his life and escape with injuries. The intelligence has most likely been leaked.
“Issue orders for accelerated search and capture operations throughout the region. Track all remaining enemy forces, seal all entrances and exits to the region, and strictly prevent the spread of intelligence information!”
With a single order, all the hidden guards in Lingxi were mobilized, the entire city was put under martial law, and the post-war purge was quietly launched once again.
All these hidden turmoil, deadly games of strategy, and life-and-death struggles seemed to go unnoticed by David and his entourage at the banquet in the main hall.
David continued drinking and chatting idly, looking relaxed and carefree, with a lazy smile in his eyes, as if he was just enjoying this lively party.
Only he himself knew that every fight, every escape, and every spiritual energy fluctuation in the entire secret battle was clearly reflected in his divine sense.
He knew every detail, from spy infiltration, information leaks by traitors, sieges and ambushes, to the last man’s escape.
However, his cultivation still needed to be consolidated and stabilized, and it was not yet time for him to face the remnants of Si Lu and Xuan Qiu head-on. Therefore, he was reluctant to start a direct battle easily and let Ling Xi’s family handle the cleanup themselves, while he remained calm, gathered strength, and waited for the right opportunity.
While Canfeng and Canfei appeared to be drinking and eating, they were actually observing all the strange movements around them. The two of them remained calm and protected David at all times, guarding against any sudden crisis.
As the night wore on and the full moon shone brightly in the sky, the banquet slowly came to an end.
The clan members dispersed, and the elders bowed and said their goodbyes, each returning to study and comprehend new alchemy techniques.
The once bustling mansion slowly returned to calm, only the glowing mist drifting gently enveloped the courtyard.
Ling Xiyuan was considerate and wise, and had ordered people to prepare the most secluded, spiritually rich, and beautiful private courtyard in the mansion for David and his party to live in and recuperate in peace.
The inner courtyard is filled with flowing spring water, blooming fairy flowers, and fragrant alchemy fragrance, exuding supreme elegance, tranquility, and luxury.
The group moved to another courtyard. Canfeng and Canfei consciously retreated to guard the outer courtyard, strictly watching all four sides of the courtyard, preventing outsiders from peeping or disturbing them, and silently assuming the responsibility of protection.
In the courtyard, the night breeze blew gently and the moonlight shone brightly.
Ling Xiyue stood under the moonlight, her elegant long dress spotless, her hair flowing softly, and her skin as white as jade.
After thorough washing and cleaning, it is covered in a soft and elegant fragrance. She was radiant, gentle, and lively, with the shyness and piety unique to young girls in her eyes.
