This shouldn't be the case! He thought to himself, the news came from an absolutely reliable source, there was no way it could be wrong. So, could it be that Old Thirteen had deliberately set up a trap just to attract their attention, and the maid was not actually with him?

Countless thoughts flashed through Li Xingfeng's mind in an instant, and various speculations and assumptions came one after another, making him a little confused for a moment.

"Old Thirteen! You're hiding so well!" Li Xingmin's expression became more and more solemn. He stared at the direction where the carriage was leaving, as if he wanted to see through the closed door to see whether the person inside was Li Xingyun.

In contrast, Li Xingfan was unusually silent. He stood quietly by, saying nothing, watching the carriage drive away. However, his slightly clenched palms revealed his inner tension and anxiety.

The carriage continued to move slowly, getting closer and closer to the south gate of Shenwu City, as if everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to Li Xingyun's plan.

"It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar! Your Highness the Prince of Qin, I wonder if I can get into your carriage and take a look?" At this seemingly calm moment, the sky suddenly changed, and a figure streaked across the sky like a meteor and landed directly in front of the carriage.

Everyone looked closely and saw that the person who came was an old man wearing a plain green robe. His hair was as white as silver frost, and his face was thin but exuded a sense of majesty. Most strikingly, he was standing on a blooming lotus, like an immortal descending.

Facing this sudden, uninvited guest, Ye Xian snorted coldly, revealing his disgust. His spiritual power surged out like a raging wave, instantly condensing into a dark green giant sword. With a fierce momentum, he slashed straight at the white-haired master.

However, the white-haired master didn't panic. He muttered something, and a massive, physical city gate suddenly appeared between him and Ye County. The gate was an ancient bronze color, intricately carved with patterns, giving it a solemn and weighty feel.

"A solemn oath, the defense of China, as firm as a rock." As the white-haired teacher's poem came out, the huge city gate suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and collided fiercely with Ye Xian's dark green giant sword!

There was a deafening roar, as if the entire world was trembling. The collision of the giant sword and the projection of the city gate produced a terrifying spiritual power fluctuation, like a violent storm, instantly sweeping in all directions!

This white-haired master was actually also a Transcendence Realm expert!!! This discovery shocked everyone present.

At this moment, Li Xingyun's calm voice came from the carriage: "Don't hurt the people!" Although the voice was not loud, it carried an unquestionable majesty.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xian immediately withdrew his attack and quickly cast a spiritual barrier to cover the surrounding area. This spiritual barrier was like a transparent shield, dissipating all the aftermath of the collision and causing no harm to the surrounding people.

However, the white-haired master wasn't so relaxed. After being attacked, he retreated a dozen steps in panic, the bluestone beneath his feet shattering with each step. The once seemingly solid projection of the city gate was now scarred and cracked, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Seeing the appearance of the white-haired teacher, Li Xingmin couldn't help but look at Li Xingfeng. Because he could tell at a glance that the other party's method was obviously from Haoran Academy, and it was obviously the work of Li Xingfeng!

Li Xingfeng seemed to notice Li Xingmin's gaze. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and explained, "Haha... I'm always worried when others take action!"

However, in his heart, he was actually horrified. He had not expected that Ye Xian was so powerful that even Kong Fuzi could not withstand a single blow from him and was only slightly injured.

The white-haired teacher is named Kong Fuzi, the strongest person in Haoran Academy. However, he was defeated in the battle with Ye Xian. Isn’t this too terrifying?

"Hmph! How dare you attack the King of Qin's carriage in broad daylight? Old man, have you lived enough?" Ye Xian's eyes were wide open and his face was full of anger. His voice was deafening, as if he wanted to eat Confucius alive.

Although he knew very well the origins of Confucius, he pretended not to know and put a big hat on the other party without hesitation, wanting to put Confucius to death.

Seeing this, Confucius thought to himself that it was not good. He knew that Ye County was very powerful and that he was definitely not able to compete with him. So, he immediately waved his hands and said, "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"

Confucius' tone was very humble, not daring to be arrogant at all, for fear of angering Ye Xian. After all, he had just had a brief fight with Ye Xian and knew that he was definitely not Ye Xian's opponent.

If we don't give in now, it will be too late when Ye County really takes action!

However, Ye Xian did not give up because of Confucius's show of weakness. He snorted coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes, as if he was going to kill Confucius on the spot in the next second.

Confucius was frightened by Ye Xian's aura and trembled all over. He knew that Ye Xian was not trying to scare him. If he didn't tell him his true identity and purpose, he would probably die today.

So, he hurriedly waved his hands again and said, "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I am from Haoran Academy, and I am here on inspection under the order of His Majesty!"

Confucius revealed his identity and purpose in one breath, hoping to calm Ye County's anger.

After hearing what Kong Fuzi said, Ye Xian's expression eased a little, but he still did not let down his guard. He snorted coldly and said, "Humph! The Jinyiwei and Youzhou King's men have just checked it out. You can get out now!"

Ye Xian's tone was cold, full of undisguised disgust and expulsion.

"Hehe..." Confucius raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled, "The Jinyiwei are the Jinyiwei after all, and the King of Youzhou is just the King of Youzhou. This has nothing to do with me. I'd better go and take a look in person, only then can I feel at ease!" His words revealed a kind of indifference and detachment, as if he didn't care about the arrival of these two groups of people.

Seeing this, Ye Xian, though somewhat displeased, could not directly refuse Confucius' request. He snorted coldly and sat down again with a gloomy expression. After all, if he forcibly stopped Confucius from inspecting the place, it would only make people think he had something to hide, which would be a cover-up.
