The closing ceremony of the Heroes' Gathering concluded at the Qilin Army camp.

Fan Tielan chased after Feng Wuhen and asked, "Where's Zheng Qian? Weren't you together? Why can't I see him?"

Faced with Fan Tielan's three questions, Feng Wuhen could only give vague answers.

"He had something to do and left first."

Mo Li also came up: "What's the matter? Do you need our help?"

"No need, Mu Bai and I have something to do, so we'll be leaving now." After saying that, Feng Wuhen pulled Li Mu Bai away quickly.

Mo Li looked anxious as she ran quickly towards her home.

Lu Cilin told Zheng Qian that Lu Yan was going to make a move against Mo Yuan that night, and Zheng Qian immediately informed Mo Li.

To avoid attracting Lu Yan's attention, Mo Li suppressed her anxiety and only headed home after everyone had left following the closing ceremony.

Mo Yuan, one of the six major powers, is not an easy target for Lu Yan to take down.

Mo Li dared to stay until the end of the closing ceremony, which shows she was confident in dealing with Lu Yan.

Li Mubai was being dragged along by Feng Wuhen. The pain from his severed arm made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Wuhen, what's the matter that's so urgent?"

Feng Wuhen pushed Li Mubai into the carriage, and after pulling down the curtain, he said, "Zheng Qian has already gone to rescue Tian Jie. We'll head there to meet him now."

"What? Save Tian Jie? Where is she?"

Li Mubai clung to Feng Wuhen tightly, as if grasping at a lifeline, his fingernails digging into Feng Wuhen's flesh without him even noticing.

"After he rescues Tian Jie, he will meet up with us in Wind City. We're heading to Wind City now."

Li Mubai jumped off the carriage and galloped towards Wind City.

"The carriage is too slow, I'll run there first."

After Lu Yan finished the closing ceremony, surrounded by a group of ministers and foreign envoys, he arrived at the Qilin Army camp to discuss diplomatic matters.

The Crown Prince's residence was broken into by a mysterious masked man. Normally, such a thing would have already reached his ears by now, but today was very special because he was receiving foreign envoys, so Lu Yi did not arrange for anyone to report to him.

At the Crown Prince's residence, Zheng Qian stood amidst a dazzling array of stars, yet a steady stream of guards and martial arts masters continued to surge forward, blocking his path.

"Those who block my way shall die."

With every step Zheng Qian took, an incomplete corpse would fall to the ground.

Lu Yi fell from the sky and disappeared into the building.

The more he looked, the more alarmed he became. The masked man's fighting strength had not only not declined, but had become even more ferocious.

The masked man only needed to pass through two more corridors to reach the gate of the Crown Prince's residence, and Lu Yi knew he couldn't wait any longer.

As the "Flowing Cloud Technique" circulated within his body, Lu Yi merged into the shadows, like flowing water in the darkness, shuttling between buildings, and finally following behind Zheng Qian.

Swish... The moment Zheng Qian swung his sword and killed the guard, Lu Yi moved.

"Flowing Water Chasing Clouds Sword".

Lu Yi roared inwardly. His figure drifted, as agile as flowing water. His soft sword seemed to have a life of its own. When he drew his sword, fine threads wrapped around it, but after the sword was drawn, it was like a raging wave crashing on the shore, containing countless changes and hiding killing intent everywhere.

This sword will pierce Tian Jie's heart through her back, then pin the masked man to the ground.

Zheng Qian sneered. He had experienced Lu Yi's speed and assassination skills just a minute ago. Although he kept rushing out, most of his mind was on guarding against Lu Yi's sword that might be thrust out from somewhere.

The moment he swung his sword, ripples appeared in the space, and he instantly sensed a killing intent coming from behind him.

Zheng Qian turned around, and he was pulled by Lu Yi's soft sword, causing the space around him to distort.

With a hiss, the soft sword pierced past his heart and into his ribs, but Zheng Qian seemed to feel no pain.

Revealing his pearly white teeth, Zheng Qian flashed a sunny smile.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Yi felt a chill run down his spine. Zheng Qian actually knew he was attacking from behind and even took the initiative to meet his sword.

Lu Yi pushed off with his feet, preparing to retreat, only to find that Zheng Qian's left hand had already grabbed his right wrist.

Crack... The sound of bones breaking rang out, and Lu Yi felt a piercing pain coming from his right hand.

His palm was actually crushed by Zheng Qian.

"Blood draws the sword."

Zheng Qian roared, his sword energy as red as blood, the heavy blade streaking across the night sky like a meteor, incredibly swift. The sword tip pointed directly at Lu Yi's throat, the sword energy exploding instantly, like a churning sea of ​​blood, devouring all life.

Lu Yi's blood and qi were suppressed, and he instantly lost the will to resist. He saw a sea of ​​blood, then heard the sound of his neck being pierced by a heavy sword, and lost consciousness.

Zheng Qian had never used the Blood Drinking Sword, the first sword of the Devouring Heaven Technique. Lu Yi, who was at the Liquid Aperture Realm, was like a ghost, putting him under immense pressure. Therefore, he chose to exchange injury for the opportunity to use the sword.

The moment the Blood Drinking Sword was unleashed, Zheng Qian felt a surge of life force, and his entire state of mind entered a mysterious state.

As ten drops of mysterious liquid fell into his mind, Zheng Qian knew that Lu Yi was dead.

Lu Yi, who was at the Liquid Concentration Realm, was instantly killed by the Blood Drinking Sword.

With a tremor of his hand, Lu Yi's body fell to the ground.

Lu Yi's death left the guards and martial arts masters frozen in place, none daring to approach.

Even Lu Yi, who was at the Liquid Concentration Realm, was instantly killed by a single sword strike. They were all rookies at the Spirit Fusion Realm. Wouldn't it be suicide for them to go up and fight them?

"Those who block my way shall die."

Zheng Qian roared, and then, with starlight shimmering beneath his feet, he sped off towards the outside of the Crown Prince's residence.

No one dared to stop them on the road; they could only watch as the masked man carried Tian Jie and ran out of the Crown Prince's residence.

Not long after Zheng Qian ran out of the Crown Prince's residence, a bewitching yet noble figure flew over the residence.

"Attend to Empress Han's gathering."

The person who arrived was none other than Lu Chu's junior sister, Empress Han.

What happened at the Crown Prince's residence?

The captain of the guard was terrified, but he forced himself to speak loudly.

"Reporting to the Empress, a mysterious masked man broke into the Crown Prince's residence, abducted a woman, and even killed... killed Prince Lu Yi."

After saying this, the captain of the guards knelt down on the ground, fearing that Empress Han would be displeased and kill him.

"A bunch of useless trash." Empress Han said coldly, tossing a token to the captain of the guards.

"Send 10,000 Imperial Guards to clean up the mess at the Crown Prince's residence. The banquet at the Crown Prince's residence will proceed as scheduled. Anyone who disrupts the banquet shall commit suicide here."

"Yes."

Empress Han left without even glancing at Lu Yi.

In the alley, Tian Jie clung tightly to Zheng Qian's back.

The wind whistled past her ears, but her heart beat faster than usual.

She was finally rescued and no longer had to suffer the humiliation from Lu Yan and the four women of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

The Feng family of Wind City, whose houses cover 500 acres, are all forged from giant stones and meteorite iron, making them a complete military fortress.

When Zheng Qian arrived, the people of Wind City took him directly to the deepest part of the fortress.

"You stay here, I'm going out for a bit." Zheng Qian put Tian Jie down and turned to leave.

"Zheng Qian".

Tian Jie instinctively called out to Zheng Qian. She was truly terrified at that moment, and only when Zheng Qian was there did she feel a sense of security.

"Where are you going?"

She was Li Mubai's fiancée and had been violated by Lu Yan. She needed someone to keep her company, but she couldn't bring herself to ask Zheng Qian to stay with her.

Zheng Qian smiled gently: "Don't worry, Feng Wuhen has arranged everything. You are safe here. Once the Gathering of Heroes is over, Li Mubai will come here to meet you."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

Zheng Qian walked out of the Feng family fortress and just saw Feng Wuhen and Li Mubai rushing over.

"Zheng Qian, are you injured?"

"Zheng Qian, are you alright? Where's Tian Jie?"

Zheng Qian nodded to the two of them: "I'm fine, Tian Jie is inside."

Li Mubai rushed into the fortress, unable to wait even a moment longer.

Feng Wuhen: "Let's go in together, it's too dangerous outside."

"I have something else to take care of. Goodbye."

After Zheng Qian finished speaking, he disappeared into the City of Wind in a few strides.

There are still three women in the basement of the Crown Prince's mansion. His first task is to rescue Tian Jie. Now that Tian Jie has been rescued, he can't live with his conscience if he doesn't go to rescue the other three women.
