Xu Lingjun said, "Jingjun, let’s go, and return to the Imperial Capital with me this time. It seems we need to have a proper discussion with Your Majesty."

"Alright!"

Li Jingjun nodded seriously.

Han Yun City had already learned the truth of the matter from Xu Lingjun.

It is precisely because of this...

He understood even more that Uther’s plan was indeed ruthless.

It was an open strategy, making two great empires serve his purposes.

Yet, there was not a single Creation Realm Grandmaster who could refuse such a great temptation...

In fact...

If not for the fear of provoking the Great Xia Empire, Uther might have already secretly contacted these Creation Realm Grandmasters personally.

Therefore, a timely countermeasure must be devised.

Xu Lingjun parted ways with Han Yun City and waved to release the Infinite Justice Mecha.

He climbed into the cockpit and then let Li Jingjun join him... closing the cockpit door.

The Mecha flew towards the Great Xia Imperial Capital.

Two days later.

The Mecha returned to the Imperial Capital.

Xu Lingjun didn’t even have the time to wait at home for Wang Qingya’s return from the Zhanzheng Academy... he hurriedly left Li Jingjun temporarily at the villa, promising to return in the evening.

Then he proceeded to the Imperial Palace.

"That’s basically the situation."

Meeting with Han Xu Yang, he informed him of the truth he discovered on this trip.

And then summed it up in a sentence.

"Is that so... Anduin was actually killed by Uther?"

Han Xu Yang, upon hearing the true cause of Anduin’s death, showed no joy but rather a feeling of poignant reflection.

Anduin was actually his old rival; the two had only truly met once before... but they had openly and secretly clashed many times. Such a worthy opponent ended in such an absurd manner.

He sighed wistfully, "A hero violates the law with martial prowess, and worldly power faces the greatest restriction. Just like now, Xu Qing, if you wanted to kill me, you could probably do it quite easily. I have many protective forces at my side, and there’s even a Creation Grandmaster stationed within this Imperial Palace, but I’m afraid they cannot ensure my safety."

"You’re joking, Your Majesty. I wouldn’t do such a thing."

"I know you wouldn’t, I’m merely expressing a sentiment."

Han Xu Yang said, "Yun Qing, come out."

As he spoke, a figure appeared within the Imperial Study.

This figure appeared about fifty to sixty years old, with slight hints of age, but brimming with energy. Especially wearing a rather loose martial arts uniform, he seemed like a muscular old man intending to go demonstrate swordplay at the plaza...

Xu Lingjun didn’t show any sign of surprise.

Previously, due to inadequate strength, he couldn’t detect it.

But now, the moment he entered, he sensed there was a skilled protector by Han Xu Yang’s side.

Clearly... this was the true foundation of the Great Xia Empire.

Creation Realm Grandmaster!

"Your Majesty, you can trust in my strength."

Yun Yi glanced at Xu Lingjun’s face without any change in expression, merely speaking to Han Xu Yang.

Han Xu Yang smiled, "However, the gap is now apparent. Xu Qing noticed your presence long ago, yet you haven’t sensed his uniqueness!"

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yi’s expression slightly changed.

Han Xu Yang asked, "Yun Qing, you’ve just heard everything. What do you think?"

"If there truly is a way to break through the constraints of the Creation Realm, Your Majesty, please permit me to leave for a time!"

Yun Yi actively requested.

Han Xu Yang replied, "That King of the Secret Realm can consecutively kill three Creation Grandmasters. This journey might be very dangerous."

"I am not afraid of danger. For years, I haven’t progressed, and I can’t even cultivate anymore... I have long endured such a life, and even if it means death, I wish to make a final desperate effort!"

"If you wish to fight, you need not leave."

Han Xu Yang pointed at Xu Lingjun, saying, "Allow me to introduce, this is Commander in Chief Xu, who is now the King of the Secret Realm, the ruler of the last territory of Blue Star, the Lawless Zone, and the one who slew three Creation Realm Grandmasters!"

He smiled and said, "Now, do you still have confidence in your ability to protect me from him?"

Yun Yi: "....................."
