Another woman is dressed in purple silk, her skin as white as jade, and her eyes gleam with a cold mist, exuding a graceful and chilly presence.
"Eldest Princess of the Da Li Dynasty, Princess Wei, and White Tiger Hall Master Qin Yushang of the Heavenly Patrol Departnt, I never expected both of you to honor our small Hundred Treasures Pavilion with your presence! It’s truly a shining mont for us!"
Zuo Lin’s smile slightly stiffens upon seeing these two won, both representing the official powers of the Da Li Dynasty. He had just been openly discussing how to overthrow the Da Li Dynasty, and now being caught in the act is sowhat awkward.
Jiang Shuling watched the two with great interest, he could see their cultivation level, early-stage Purple Mansion.
To achieve the Purple Mansion at their age, to call them prodigies would not be an exaggeration.
"Master Zuo, do you even understand the aning of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and sha?"
Wei Yushuang looked displeased, as a princess of the Da Li Royal Family, hearing Zuo Lin speak like this would upset anyone.
"Apologies, apologies, Princess Wei, it was a slip of the tongue. I ca to the Da Li Dynasty simply to do business, not to ddle in turmoil. Just pretend I don’t exist."
Zuo Lin repeatedly clasped his hands in apology, showing no hint of a strongman’s deanor, as he is more of a businessman than a fighter.
Wei Yushuang withdrew her gaze, while Qin Yushang had already walked towards Wu Liqi. They were here not for Zuo Lin, but for Wu Liqi.
"Ladies, our two countries are currently in a ceasefire. Are you trying to reignite the war?"
Wu Liqi stared cautiously; he too was at early-stage Purple Mansion cultivation and was certainly not a match for Qin Yushang and Wei Yushuang.
"The Da Li Dynasty does not welco you. Do you think your deeds can deceive everyone?"
Wei Yushuang stood before Wu Liqi, her hand on the hilt of her sword, exuding an overwhelmingly powerful aura, her eyes terrifyingly cold.
"Wu Liqi, how dare you investigate the sacred grounds of the Dragon Vein. Our Heavenly Patrol Departnt has long been watching you."
Qin Yushang also unleashed the aura of a Purple Mansion strongman, pressing down like a mountain.
Wu Liqi’s face was pale; against the newly risen Purple Mansion powerhouses Qin Yushang and Wei Yushuang, he was completely helpless.
"Return to your grassland, or don’t bla for slicing you down right here."
Wei Yushuang snorted coldly, almost wishing to strike Wu Liqi down imdiately.
However, every official in court opposed this, including her father, who did not support stirring up trouble with the Divine Eagle Empire now, especially at the critical mont when cultivators from the Outer Continent were entering. The Da Li Dynasty could not afford more disturbances.
"You will regret this."
Wu Liqi realized his plan had been exposed. He had ventured to the Dragon Vein’s sacred grounds of the Da Li Dynasty the night before but failed to find a chance to break into the Formation.
The Da Li Royal Family cultivated using the "Dragon Suppressing Heavenly Net Divine Scripture", a national treasure, leveraging the Dragon Vein and the Imperial Dynasty Fortune. Damaging the Dragon Vein in Da Li City could indirectly affect many aspects of the Da Li Royal Family.
Not daring to stay longer, fearing the two won would lose restraint and strike, he got up and left, flying out of the third-floor window.
"Hey, you barbarian!"
Just as Wu Liqi flew out the window, a shout full of insult ca from behind.
Turning around, he saw a sword light flash by, too quick for any reaction. His left shoulder ached, and an arm fell, blood gushing from the severed point.
Jiang Shuling had simply extended his index finger, using it as a sword to slice in the air, and the terrifying Sword Qi instantly severed Wu Liqi’s arm.
The atmosphere from the strike, belonging to a late-stage Purple Mansion powerhouse, was overwhelmingly present. Everyone present, except Zuo Lin, visibly changed color.
Wei Yushuang’s expression turned solemn, realizing now that the strongest person here was that refined Jiang Shuling.
"Late-stage Purple Mansion."
Qin Yushang gave Jiang Shuling a long look; such an aura she had only felt before from Heavenly Patrol Departnt Director Zhang Qingcang.
Sword Cultivators are claid to be the best at offense among cultivators, and a late-stage Purple Mansion Sword Cultivator is terrifyingly powerful in battle.
"Get lost, and next ti watch where your eyes are looking."
Jiang Shuling waved his hand casually, as if he had done sothing trivial. He had just sliced off the arm of a Purple Mansion level Wu Liqi.
"Thank you, senior, for sparing my life."
Yet, facing Jiang Shuling’s mockery, Wu Liqi did not dare to retaliate verbally, instead, he turned around and fled in disgrace, not daring to utter any harsh words.
"This doesn’t break the rules, right? I waited till he left the restaurant to act, without dirtying your floor."
Jiang Shuling turned his head at this point, smiling at Zuo Lin nearby.
"Of course it doesn’t count, but you seem to have so more trouble on your hands?"
Zuo Lin nodded first, his gaze fixed in one direction.
Jiang Shuling followed his gaze, seeing through the street thronged with panicking citizens due to his actions, two won walking over.
One wore a yellow lotus silk shirt, with delicately distinguished features, a mischievous girl look about her, eating skewer after skewer.
The other wore a plain qinghua porcelain-colored long skirt, with clear skin like snow, her black hair cascading like a waterfall, exuding an aloof and pristine aura.
The two looked quite similar, yet they had completely different qualities. One was lively and charming like a radiant sunflower, the other was solitary and cold, like a quiet spring orchid.
"It’s them."
Upon seeing these similarly-looking twin sisters, Qin Yushang’s eyes narrowed.
The younger sister, nad Ning Xinyue, wasn’t much of a concern; however, the elder sister, Ning Yunying, had suppressed all prodigies in Da Li City, with none able to withstand even a single move from her.
