In the court of the Lan Kingdom, the atmosphere suddenly grew delicate.

Yin Zhi’s roar did not make Queen Zhou retreat.

And the attitudes of the civil and military officials also became subtle. One by one, they retreated, remaining silent.

Clearly, they were also waiting to see how things would unfold.

This left Ye Yu quite displeased.

Frankly speaking, you’re all officials of the Lan Kingdom.

Is this how shameless you are? Crowding behind me?

I am the real outsider here!

Seeing this situation, Queen Zhou sneered.

“Ever since this unknown wild girl appeared, the Lan Kingdom has been in turmoil. Even you, the ruler of the Lan Kingdom, have been bewitched, to make such a foolish decision!”

“Although I am a woman, I am still the Queen of the Lan Kingdom. Chief minister, please, take action to eliminate this evil and cleanse the court!”

Upon hearing these words, Wu Renbi immediately stepped forward.

“Obeying Her Majesty’s command!”

He waved his hand, and more than ten court advisors rushed in from outside.

Their eyes coldly fixed on Yin Feijing.

Neither Queen Zhou nor the Chief Minister Wu Renbi could do anything to Yin Zhi under everyone’s gaze.

But they could certainly kill Yin Feijing.

After all, this woman was of unknown origins. And now she sought to take the First Prince’s throne?

This would infringe on many people’s interests, and a convenient excuse could justify her death.

“Cleansing the court” was a fitting reason.

Yin Feijing’s face turned ashen.

She truly didn’t expect things to escalate to this point.

Of course, Yin Feijing would never surrender willingly. At present, she had only one choice.

That was to carve out a bloody path.

But Wu Renbi, the chief minister of the Lan Kingdom, was standing right at the entrance.

Yin Feijing did not believe she could break through the formation master in the Integration realm.

Unless she removed the Concealment Pendant and restored her true form, that might give her a slim chance of survival.

Apart from that, there was no other option.

But if she restored her true form, wouldn’t that confirm her as a demon causing chaos in the kingdom?

What to do?

At this moment, Yin Feijing was caught in a dilemma.

And just then, Yin Zhi’s cold voice rang out: “Bold! Do you still remember your identities? You are advisors of the Lan Kingdom! Not the Queen’s lapdogs. Let’s see who dares to act today!”

These words were spoken with great force.

The advisors who had rushed over immediately halted and exchanged glances.

Ultimately, they turned their gaze towards Wu Renbi.

After all, for this operation, they had come at Wu Renbi’s command.

Naturally, they hoped he would set an example!

Wu Renbi’s expression was serious.

He said nothing more and stepped forward slowly.

After two steps, the stars shifted.

Yin Feijing, who had been unresponsive, was swiftly moved from beside the dragon throne.

She was then enveloped in a golden light.

Instantly, the light covered her, making her unable to struggle.

The entire sequence of movements was smooth and flawless. It was hard not to admire the skill of the formation master.

But to Ye Yu’s eyes, Wu Renbi’s actions were nothing extraordinary.

The formation shift and the Heavenly Restraint Dragon Binding were relatively basic formations. Nothing impressive.

The visual effects were indeed cool.

It seemed this Lan Kingdom’s grand formation master, though of average skill, had a flair for showmanship.

In the next moment, Wu Renbi formed a seal with one hand.

Immediately, thunder roared through the court.

Several bolts of lightning descended from the sky.

There was no doubt, Wu Renbi had truly turned to violence.

At that moment, Yin Zhi transformed into a streak of light.

He shielded Yin Feijing from above, and took the brunt of the lightning strikes.

Then with a single palm, he shattered the bindings around Yin Feijing.

Wu Renbi, who was about to retaliate, was kicked away by Yin Zhi.

It was hard to imagine… a portly old man could execute such intense movements, kicking away an Integration realm practitioner.

It was reasonable to assume Yin Zhi’s strength was quite impressive.

After all, he was a contemporary friend of that old fellow, Luo Ze. His strength couldn’t be too weak.

Ye Yu nodded slightly.

Just as he was about to continue waiting for the situation to unfold, Yin Zhi, along with Yin Feijing, did not leave.

Instead, they approached Ye Yu.

Before Ye Yu could react, they used a teleportation talisman.

In an instant, the three figures vanished.

Li Nian’an, seeing this, was stunned.

They had taken Ye Yu away? Why?

Queen Zhou’s face changed dramatically.

She sharply said, “Quickly find them. They can’t have gone far! Also, who was that young man just now? Can someone tell me?”

A minister stepped forward immediately, and whispered Ye Yu’s identity.

Zhou Ruyun furrowed her brows tightly.

How could Yin Feijing possibly be connected with a disciple from the Azure Cloud Sect?

Thinking this, Zhou Ruyun instinctively looked at Li Nian’an.

Li Nian’an responded calmly, “I am Li Nian’an, an elder of the Azure Cloud Sect. The young man who just left with Yin Zhi is Ye Yu, a disciple of my sect. I don’t care what you intend to do in the Lan Kingdom.”

“But I advise you all not to lay a hand on Ye Yu. Otherwise, the Azure Cloud Sect will certainly discuss our principles with you!”

This statement was full of threats.

Zhou Ruyun’s face immediately turned furious.

She was about to speak, but was stopped by Wu Renbi.

Wu Renbi shook his head slightly at Zhou Ruyun.

“Your Majesty, the situation is paramount!”

Hearing this, Zhou Ruyun snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Wu Renbi gave Li Nian’an a deep look, then followed suit and departed.

As the saying goes, a man’s reputation is like a tree’s shadow.

The Azure Cloud Sect, besides being one of the five great sacred lands of the Central Continent, also had a particularly famous nickname.

That was the Sect that Defends Its Own.

Especially in the past millennium. The nickname “Sect that Defends Its Own” was well-known across the Central Continent.

The Azure Cloud Sect’s master, Luo Ze, might appear unorthodox, but he truly took action when needed.

Whether it was elders or ordinary disciples, as long as they were from the Azure Cloud Sect, if they were wronged outside, Luo Ze would take charge and the entire sect would stand up for them.

The Blood Demon Sect was a prime example.

As long as you dared to act against the Azure Cloud Sect, you should be prepared for the destruction of your sect.

Including the upcoming Crimson Yin Cliff.

Luo Ze was indeed aiming to have them wiped out.

This was why Li Nian’an had the confidence to speak so boldly in the Lan Kingdom.

It was evident, Luo Ze was a person who truly knew how to handle matters!

On the other side.

Ye Yu, Yin Feijing, and Yin Zhi arrived in an underground chamber.

It was extremely spacious, yet, also exceptionally tidy.

Yin Feijing curiously asked, “Where is this place?”

Yin Zhi did not respond immediately. Instead, he slowly took a seat.

It was only then that Ye Yu and Yin Feijing noticed, Yin Zhi’s face was deathly pale.

There were still traces of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Clearly, Yin Zhi had not taken the lightning strikes as easily as it might have seemed.

Yin Feijing immediately stepped forward.

Seeing Yin Zhi in such a state, she felt a pang of discomfort.

After a moment of hesitation, she asked, “Why are you being so kind to me?”

Yin Zhi managed a bitter smile.

Looking at the jade bracelet on Yin Feijing’s wrist, he answered with a question that seemed out of place, “Is she… alright?”
