Everyone's ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍eyes went wide as they turned toward the source of the voice.

Someone ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍sharp-eyed quickly identified him.

"That ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍imperially bestowed crimson dragon-carved gold cape! It's the Jinyiwei's Old Commander Lu! A Grandmaster!"

The ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍moment the others heard this, every face in the crowd changed.

A ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Grandmaster?!

That title represented a realm that had entirely transcended the First through Ninth Rank hierarchy--the true embodiment of a martial artist's earth-shaking, sea-filling might!

Genuine, overwhelming power!

One had to understand: the Grandmaster-level experts of the current era had made a collective pact to withdraw from the world and refrain from acting, lest their destructive force devastate the land and its people. They had all stepped back to the second line, leaving all matters to the younger generation.

Because of this, any martial artist who walked the Jianghu and was willing to seek out powerful fighters could always manage to witness top Ninth-Rank experts exchanging blows.

But to witness a clash between Grandmasters with one's own eyes?

In all likelihood, a lifetime of pursuit would yield not a single glimpse!

Under these conditions--where Grandmasters did not intervene--a powerhouse like Jiang Hong, who had reached the Mid Ninth Rank, already stood among the strongest just below the tier of supreme Ninth-Rank experts like Dan Qingzi, Cheng Zhenjiang, and Lu Zhi.

With a Supreme Weapon Under Heaven--the Qilin Shield--in hand, his might was truly fearsome.

Yet before an actual Grandmaster, all of it still counted for nothing.

Old Jinyiwei Commander Lu Tachuan hadn't even struck directly, and he had already crushed Jiang Hong's Qilin Internal Energy flat.

He had even suppressed the power of the Qilin Shield itself.

"Even the Qilin Shield was suppressed?!"

A strange light flickered in Jiang Hong's eyes. Given the extraordinary nature of a Supreme Weapon, not even a Grandmaster should be able to suppress it so easily.

His gaze locked onto Lu Tachuan's waist, where a deep crimson long saber commanded attention.

A single glance was all it took.

His entire being felt as though it had been plunged into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The Qilin Shield glowed faintly, barely restoring his composure.

The Blood-Chasing Saber!

Another Supreme Weapon Under Heaven!

Cheng Yu was also silently studying the Blood-Chasing Saber, yet he felt none of the Supreme Weapon's oppressive influence.

The Flying Fish Uniform he wore was also of Heaven-Rank quality--no lesser than the Blood-Chasing Saber--and it absorbed the weapon's suppressive force entirely.

"The Blood-Chasing Saber, hmm? Not bad. I feel a certain affinity with it."

As a Supreme Weapon Under Heaven, what truly piqued Cheng Yu's interest was its connection to the Progenitor of Qian's Inheritance.

As for the weapon itself--given that both were Supreme Weapons, Cheng Yu did not believe the Dragon-Dethroning Xiuchun Saber that had been his companion for so long was in any way inferior.

What truly fascinated Cheng Yu about Lu Tachuan as a Grandmaster was that mysterious, overpowering suppressive force--the "Dao"!

The Jinyiwei inheritance achieved the Dao through "Tyranny," representing absolute authority and dominance.

Cheng Yu was no stranger to it.

On the other side, Jiang Hong and Lu Tachuan locked eyes. Neither spared a glance for Cheng Yu.

This was a dialogue and a statement of position between two great powers--the Jinyiwei and the Army-Breaking Sect.

No matter how strong Cheng Yu was, it was not his place to speak.

"This humble Jiang pays his respects to Grandmaster Lu. The Sect Master asked me to convey his regards, and begs your forgiveness for any disrespect or offense!"

Before a Grandmaster, no matter how much fury and resentment churned within him, Jiang Hong had to display the utmost deference.

A Grandmaster must not be insulted!

"Hmph. Those are just words from your mouth."

Lu Tachuan gave a cold snort. His foot shifted ever so slightly, and in the span of a blink he appeared before the Command Office gate.

"So the Jianghu's idea of paying respects nowadays is to march up to someone's front door and flex your muscles?"

Before his words had fully landed, a horrifying suppressive force slammed down onto Jiang Hong, rendering him completely unable to muster even a whisper of resistance. Terror flooded his heart.

He had come to the Jinyiwei Command Office and used force to bully the Jinyiwei's people.

Lu Tachuan was furious!

Jiang Hong immediately dropped to one knee and bowed earnestly. "This one acted rashly out of desperate love for his son. I beg the Grandmaster's forgiveness!"

The next instant, his eyes suddenly turned vicious, and he thrust a finger toward Cheng Yu.

"The root of everything lies with that savage, vicious butcher!"

"He uses the Jinyiwei's name to slaughter the innocent, razed an entire circuit branch of my Army-Breaking Sect without provocation, and today he seized my son and subjected him to brutal torture! I implore the Grandmaster to understand my feelings!"

At these words, the entire crowd fell somewhat speechless. Was Jiang Hong actually trying to reason with Lu Tachuan?

Conflicts between martial artists were life-and-death affairs.

What room was there for reason?

Lu Tachuan furrowed his brow slightly, a trace of puzzlement on his face. "You're telling me all this?"

Jiang Hong kept his head low and pressed on. "Grandmaster Lu, it is my understanding that Brother Lu Zhi and young Lu Ming also suffered at this man's..."

The moment those words left his mouth, Zuo Yang went slack-jawed from his position nearby.

"Don't say it!"

But he was too slow. He couldn't stop Jiang Hong from finishing.

BOOM!

Mid-sentence, a deafening impact erupted beside Jiang Hong as a terrifying suppressive force smashed him flat against the ground.

Lu Tachuan extended one hand, palm downward in a pressing gesture.

"My descendants were incompetent and their skills fell short. Do you think that means I should harbor resentment over it?"

He was livid.

Jiang Hong was insulting him!

Only now did the onlookers realize what had happened: Jiang Hong had deliberately brought up the friction between Cheng Yu and the Lu Family.

He was trying to drive a wedge within the Jinyiwei!

It was clear, however, that he had failed. The Lu Family had never been in the habit of coddling their descendants.

"Enough of this drivel. The Army-Breaking Sect owes me an explanation for today."

Lu Tachuan's voice was flat, carrying an aura of absolute, unquestionable authority.

The Word of a Grandmaster!

Within the realm of Dao comprehension, when a Grandmaster spoke, no one could oppose him unless another Grandmaster voiced dissent.

A chill ran through the distant onlookers.

Jiang Feng had been arrested by the Jinyiwei, and Jiang Hong had rushed to the Command Office in a desperate bid to save his son--only to provoke a Grandmaster.

It seemed the Army-Breaking Sect's revenge against Cheng Yu was going to cost them dearly today!

Zuo Yang watched the scene unfold, his furious gaze shifting back and forth between father and son.

Two wastes!

If they'd simply waited for Qian Sunbao's results, waited until Xiao Wuji was thoroughly disillusioned with Cheng Yu, Lu Tachuan would never have casually intervened!

Now look at them!

The entire plan was ruined!

At this moment, in everyone's eyes, the situation had tilted firmly in Cheng Yu's favor. Not only had he captured Jiang Feng, but the Army-Breaking Sect's revenge had essentially collapsed!

It was nearly the best possible outcome!

Yet Cheng Yu's face showed not a trace of satisfaction or joy.

He knew perfectly well that things couldn't simply end here--and he would not allow everything to conclude so neatly.

Cheng Yu's goal had never been self-defense. It was to go on the offensive!

Just then, Jiang Hong spoke again--and this time, the content of his words left every person present gaping in astonishment.

"Grandmaster Lu, Cheng Yu and my Army-Breaking Sect have an irreconcilable feud. If we fail to answer it, how can the Army-Breaking Sect hold its head high in the Jianghu and claim a seat among the Nine Great Sects?"

He forced himself upright against the suppressive force, his face contorted to the extreme.

"The Sect Master bade me tell the Grandmaster this: Cheng Yu is a born fiend, an absolute enemy of the Jianghu's righteous path, and keeping him poses no benefit to the Jinyiwei!"

"My Army-Breaking Sect wishes to eliminate this devil in defense of righteousness. If Grandmaster Lu does not intervene, the Sect Master is willing to pay any price!"

He drew a deep breath and declared in a booming voice, "If Grandmaster Lu stays his hand--at the Martial Dao Assembly half a year from now, the Army-Breaking Sect will cede half its disciple slots to the Lu Family, and guarantees that it will not move against any Lu Family member!"
