Yuan Hua’s expression slightly changed, “They really left? How long ago did they depart?”

The inn’s errand boy quickly replied, “They should have left around the time it takes to drink two cups of tea.”

“Then do you know where they went?” Yuan Hua hurriedly asked.

The errand boy had no idea.

Without a second thought, Yuan Hua hurriedly led his men in pursuit.

However, by the time he reached the harbour, a large ship had already sailed several kilometers away, but to Yuan Hua’s surprise, the Jiangnan Government’s soldiers turned a blind eye, making no attempt to stop it.

He began to feel confused.

The Yuan Family’s butler, also known as Uncle Fu in Yuan Hua’s mouth, arrived.

“Uncle Fu,” Yuan Hua looked over, “does the Sima family have a ship?”

The elder’s gaze turned to the canal above, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he said in a low voice, “That is the Imperial Capital’s tribute ship.”

“A tribute ship? The Sima family has such connections? And I was completely unaware… but if they have such connections, why would they still seek my help…” Yuan Hua was puzzled once again.

The elder, lost in thought, said, “When the young Young Master of the Sima family came to you, it wasn’t a ruse. I fear someone else is assisting them, not the Sima family’s own strength.”

The elder’s incisive remark made Yuan Hua freeze.

He then realized something.

If the Sima family truly had ties to the Imperial City, then they would not have been suppressed by Liu’s family in such a way recently.

But who in the Imperial City would help them?

At that moment, a thunderous “boom” came from down the street, as if some terrifying entity had descended.

At that instant, even the elder’s complexion drastically changed, and he quickly pulled over his son and dodged to the side.

All eyes turned.

A figure soared like a roc spreading its wings, moving effortlessly over the water, charging toward the large ship.

“Who is that?” Yuan Hua was stunned.

“One of Mu Wang Mansion’s Five Tiger Generals, Xu Qianpeng,” Uncle Fu said in a hushed tone, his eyes fixed on Xu Qianpeng’s murderous approach, he murmured, “The situation looks bad, Young Master, let’s move back.”

Although Yuan Hua was the Young Master, he heeded Uncle Fu’s advice when it came to matters of life and death, and followed him back, retreating to a side street where whispers could be overheard.

“I heard Mu Wang Mansion had a robbery a few days back… a significant number of treasures were stolen.”

“Wasn’t it said that Sea Bandits did it? Isn’t that why the city is under lockdown… to capture those Sea Bandits? But it’s been three days, and they haven’t been caught?”

“I heard Mu Wang Mansion lost a core Cultivation Technique.”

“No wonder… Mu Wang Mansion’s true Cultivation Techniques are first-class; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to train so many Grandmasters.”

“Doesn’t this mean that whoever obtains this Cultivation Technique could become a Grandmaster after laying low for a decade?”

“How is that possible, do you have money? Can you afford the resources for cultivation? But to become a second-rate master, that’s entirely sufficient.”

“Mu Wang Mansion has already issued a reward, saying that whoever catches the thief will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.”

“Hiss!”

There came a sharp intake of breath from around.

“Ten thousand taels of gold!!!”

“Mu Wang Mansion really has money.”

“If one really gets those ten thousand taels of gold, who would still want the Cultivation Technique.”

Even Yuan Hua felt his heart stir, looking towards Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu shook his head, indicating for him to stay calm.

Xu Qianpeng had not boarded the ship but was hovering in front of it, “Who is in charge of the ship?”

Sima Yingjun cautiously looked towards Pei Jinye.

“It’s fine,” said Pei Jinye nonchalantly.

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as the ship’s manager stepped forward, presenting a waist card, “I’ve seen General Xu, I am the Imperial City official, Li Jin.”

“A man from the Imperial City Department?” Xu Qianpeng narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “My Xu Family has recently lost a treasure, please allow me the convenience to check on board.”

“I apologize, General Xu, but the ship is carrying tributes for the Imperial City, and without the proper papers, you cannot enter,” Manager Li shook his head in refusal, not yielding just because Xu Qianpeng was from Mu Wang Mansion.

These words indeed made Xu Qianpeng’s face turn ugly, “In this Jiangnan, is there anywhere I cannot go? You dare obstruct my way? By what right do you stop me?”

As he finished speaking,
The surrounding waves began to churn.

Manager Li remained unfazed in the face of danger, saying firmly, “General Xu, do not make a mistake.”

Several muscular, agile men appeared behind him, all skilled fighters.

Xu Qianpeng moved forward a step.

But the next second.

His face changed.

He hastily retreated.

Pei Jinye appeared beside Manager Li at that time, clad in flowing white garments, truly resembling a Sword Immortal.

Upon seeing his appearance, Manager Li immediately stepped back and, with a bow of his fists, said, “My apologies for the disturbance, Senior.”

The man in charge knew exactly what to do, especially since even the Silver Waist Plate Adult had addressed this individual as a senior, indicating his high status.

At the harbour,
Upon seeing Pei Jinye’s arrival, Yuan Hua suddenly started, “Isn’t that…”
Wasn’t that the person…?

When he was on the ship talking to Sima Yingjun, it was the first time he saw Pei Jinye… Wasn’t he said to be a guard?

Yet, when people from the Imperial City Department saw him, they all bowed and clasped their fists in respect.

This is a guard from the Sima family?

Yuan Hua was stunned.

He hastily tugged at the elder beside him, “Uncle Fu, did you see that?”

Uncle Fu’s face was full of gravity.

It seemed the speculation in his heart became a bit more real.

He had thought before that that person was merely a cultivator of some heretical path.

Now that he thought about it.

He had misjudged.

With such an upright aura, how could he possibly be a cultivator of heretical paths!

Xu Qianpeng steadied himself and, with a look of disbelief, turned to Pei Jinye and said in a deep voice, “May I ask which official from the Imperial City you are?”

“Scram.”

Pei Jinye spoke out with a light and indifferent tone.

Suddenly, there was a deadly silence all around.

Manager Li’s body suddenly stiffened.

He seemed to want to remind Pei Jinye of Xu Qianpeng’s identity…

But before he could speak, he was interrupted by the commotion created by Xu Qianpeng.

He hastily looked up.

Xu Qianpeng had already charged over, his face twisted in a sinister smile, “Giving you face, was it?”

He, one of the Five Tiger Generals of Mansion of King Mu.

In Jiangnan, he stood above tens of thousands.

Even Grandmasters from outside had to behave properly in his territory of Jiangnan.

He had never been belittled to such extent to his face.

In the flip of a hand.

The might of his fist surged wildly.

Enveloping Pei Jinye.

“Master Pei, catch the sword!”

A guard shouted loudly, proactively throwing a sword over.

Pei Jinye caught the sword and slashed down with a light and indifferent stroke.

Almost in an instant, dazzling silver Sword Light soared up from his body, and with an overhead slash, a multitude of Sword Light gathered together.

There was an uproar all around.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Because this was no simple strike of a sword.

But within the blinding silver Sword Light, dozens of Sword Lights converged, dragging in mid-air to form an exceedingly mighty trail of silver radiance, like a gigantic Sword Light over ten meters long, ruthlessly slashing down towards the charging Xu Qianpeng!

Everyone was left speechless at the sight.

All they could hear was the “hisssss” of the air being torn apart.

Xu Qianpeng was instantly engulfed by it.

Following that, the surface of the water erupted as if struck by a cannon, whipping up violent waves.

A chorus of shocked exclamations rose.

“The Five Tiger Generals has actually been defeated!!!”

“Splash!”

The water burst open.

Xu Qianpeng emerged with his clothes in tatters, furiously charging out again.

His Ten Thousand Waves Fist, mastered through painstaking effort over more than a decade, was extremely powerful, yet now it couldn’t even block a single sword strike from this person.

There was no time to think it over.

His mind was filled with the desire to tear the man before him to pieces.

Pei Jinye had no waist card on him… Moreover, if he held such a status in the Imperial City, Xu Qianpeng would definitely recognize him.

Thus, he was certain that Pei Jinye was not from the Imperial City.

Since he was not from the Imperial City, then killing him meant killing him!

Xu Qianpeng’s murderous intent bubbled up, causing an uproar all around.

Sima Yingjun’s face turned deathly pale as he watched.

He swore that not a single master from the Fish Dragon Gang was worthy of even carrying this General Xu’s shoes.

This killing aura… if it were all focused on him, he might be scared to death on the spot.

As a matter of fact, this was not Sima Yingjun’s wild imagination.

The murderous intent Xu Qianpeng was gathering at this moment was enough to frighten to death this powerless young master.

Even Yuan Hua on the shore couldn’t help but feel his heart tighten.

He murmured to himself.

“The people from the Mansion of King Mu are truly domineering.”

Uncle Fu’s gaze was heavy, “I’m afraid this has blown up. With two Grandmasters taking action, Xu Qianpeng is likely no match, and if he dies, Mansion of King Mu surely won’t let it go… Young Master, it’s not wise to stay here for long, let’s leave quickly.”
