Upon approaching, the Second Prince Tian Zehai did not act arrogantly due to his royal status. Instead, he clasped his hands in a fist salute and said sincerely, "Thank you both for your help."
He knew that the other person, although not directly helping them, had helped the people of the city and naturally deserved a thank you.
"Your Highness is too kind," Lü Fengxian returned the greeting with clasped hands. "We two were sent by Dean Gu to provide support. My neighbor went to hunt down the spy Mi Lun and was unable to arrive in time. Please forgive him."
As he spoke, he emphasized the word "privately" to convey a message that proved "we are one of us".
He paused for a moment, then glanced at the group. "Are you all alright?"
State your identity at the start to avoid unnecessary chatter.
For example, asking pointless questions like, "How did you know who we are?"
"I see…"
"I am Tian Zehai, the Second Prince of Tiandu Kingdom. Thank you again for saving me." The Second Prince Tian Zehai formally introduced himself, then asked, "May I ask how you two are addressed?"
Lü Fengxian said, "Lü Fengxian, double-mouthed Lü, is a student of Nanzhou Martial Arts Academy."
“Song Yunxiang, whose given name is Song (宀趺宋), is also a student at the Nanzhou Martial Arts Academy,” Song Yunxiang said.
Upon hearing this, the Second Prince Tian Zehai had a series of thoughts.
“Surname Lü?...And that signature red hair, could this person be related to the Lü family of Marquis Zhongyi?...The other person is surnamed Song, and he also looks extraordinary, could he be a member of the Song family of Marquis Jiu'an?”
Despite thinking this, nothing changed on the surface.
“Students?! Are you two joking?” he said.
Suddenly, he remembered something: "Last year's secret report from the Secret Investigation Division seemed to mention that Lord Song used his connections to arrange for a disciple with a damaged soul meridian to enter the Martial Arts Academy..."
"It's strange, it seems that a few days ago, Grandpa Lü also arranged for a disciple with a missing soul vein to enter the Mech Martial Academy... Could it be those two?"
"Gu Shijing probably knows something. We should ask her properly once we're safe..."
"And those two Star Soul Generals from earlier, it would be wonderful to have such powerful assistance..."
Although his thoughts were racing for a moment, Tian Zehai laughed and said, "With your strength, I'm afraid there isn't a single instructor in the entire Mech Academy who can rival you, right?"
"Your Highness flatters me. My strength is merely at the early stage of the Heavenly Rank," Lü Fengxian said, then suddenly patted Song Yunxiang on the shoulder, "I am only on par with him."
Song Yunxiang was stunned and asked telepathically, "Aren't you a Earth Rank cultivator?"
“I just broke through, and I’m ahead of you for a little while,” Lü Fengxian replied telepathically.
At this moment, Commander Liu spoke up, "I am Liu Shenwu. Thank you for the medicine, young friend Lü. It is thanks to it that my injuries have healed so quickly. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."
After saying that, he handed over a storage card, saying, "Inside are some military martial arts techniques that are not exactly classified. I hope they will be of some help to you, young friend."
"You're too kind," Lü Fengxian said with a forced smile as she accepted the gift, then handed it to Shangguan Yinqin beside her, giving her hand a firm squeeze. "You should thank Brother Shenwu for his martial arts skills."
"Thank you." Shangguan Yinqin smiled politely.
……
Dongcheng District, the core battlefield of the rift.
"Roar!!!"
At this moment, the Qiongqi ferocious beast was already showing signs of weakness. Half of its arm was broken off, several fingers of its giant red hand were missing, a bunch of teeth were missing, and the purple cracks around it were flickering.
Standing opposite is an old machine wielding a broken sword, named [Gentleman's Sword].
The paint scheme is silver-gray and yellow.
The Star Soul Master piloting this machine was none other than the unremarkable old man from before.
"Still trying to open a rift and make a last-ditch effort..." Gentleman Sword raised the broken sword in his hand, continuously gathering blue soul power. "Since that's the case, then let's end this battle with this move..."
"The Third Form of the Ten Thousand Mile Sword..."
Wow!
At this point, the broken sword had transformed into a soaring light sword of immeasurable length. Then, with a seemingly ordinary downward swing, everything in its path crumbled.
One sword shatters mountains and rivers!
The sword energy completely enveloped the Qiongqi beast, turning it into ashes. After the sword strike, the sword energy dissipated, revealing the true form of the broken sword once more. The tattered figure of the Gentleman's Sword appeared incredibly tall at this moment.
The next moment, the part everyone's been waiting for arrived, and the onlookers were about to erupt in excitement.
"Too...too...powerful!!"
"They killed him in an instant..."
"Is that the legendary move, 'One Sword Shatters Mountains and Rivers'?!..."
"Using that old-style machine, you can still kill a ferocious beast like Qiongqi with a single sword strike..."
Finally, they exclaimed in unison, "A Heavenly Rank expert... terrifying indeed!"
Then the gossip captain voiced a different opinion, "No... Elder Xu isn't just any ordinary Heavenly Rank... He's probably the closest Star Soul Master in Southern Continent to the Saint Rank..."
"What?! Half-step Saint Rank?"
While they were discussing it, Old Xu had already disintegrated and disappeared without a trace.
When Elder Xu reappeared, he had already arrived at the guiding device. There was a large group of spies from the Kingdom of Milun there, but Elder Xu knocked them all down with just a slipper and smashed the guiding device.
He then led the group of spies away into the distance.
On the other side, the core battlefield of the South District Rift.
"We won...we won..."
"We killed a Heavenly Rank ferocious beast?!"
"Won!"
"we won!!!"
"Even a Heavenly-Rank ferocious beast is nothing special!!"
"We can take on ten more!!"
"Dean Gu's military strategy is simply divine!"
"Tian Du will surely win!"
"..."
The Qiongqi beast here was ultimately no match for the group attack and was brutally beaten to death. It was the most undignified of the beasts to die, and its death was a laughing stock among the beasts.
High above the building, the Gu-style Weiyuan mecha stood with its hands on its sword, the wind blowing up the black tassels (heat dissipation wires) on its cloak and helmet. It seemed to be in complete control, but in reality, it was drenched in sweat.
"Huff..." Gu Shijing wiped away her sweat and took a breath. "The Heavenly Rank beast is just too powerful. Even with the combined strength of a thousand Profound Rank warriors, we could only barely put up a fight and win by sheer luck..."
"?!" She suddenly noticed someone approaching.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Old Xu carrying the head of the traitors, who was walking through the air.
"Hello," Old Xu said with a smile.
"Old Xu."
Upon seeing this, Gu Shijing immediately disintegrated and respectfully bowed after landing.
"Yes, Xiao Gu, thank you for your hard work," Old Xu nodded, showing none of the airs one would expect from a powerful figure, then casually tossed the spy chief aside. "This bastard Mi Lun was captured from the eastern rift..."
"A spy from the Kingdom of Miren?" Gu Shijing asked, her hands clasped behind her back, her expression unreadable. "Shouldn't we hand them over to the city guards or the Secret Investigation Department..."
“The city guards and the secret police have likely been infiltrated by them. I’m not comfortable with that, so I’m entrusting it to you.” Old Xu put his hands behind his back, his tone calm.
At this moment, the two of them appeared in a certain shot, and Old Xu was even targeted by a sniper rifle hidden in the shadows.
However, Old Xu sensed something at that moment and saw the person in the shadows.
That was a [Yu Fuluo], an early mass-produced Star Soul General from the Milun Kingdom. It had thicker armor than the Weiyuan-type and was somewhat bulky.
"Do you need me to take care of those bastards for you?" Old Xu asked, his tone completely flat, as if he were talking about crushing a few ants.
Gu Shijing replied, "No need to trouble yourself, I have arrangements."
at the same time…
"Holy crap, we've been exposed already?!" Yu Fuluo also realized that he had been exposed.
His teammates beside him shouted anxiously, "Fire! Kill them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud "clang" was heard.
A specially made dagger emerged from Yu Fuluo's chest, blood slowly dripping down, actually stabbing and killing the Star Soul Master inside the Star Coffin as well.
"what?!"
The teammates were immediately alarmed, but before they could react, they were caught in the net and their soul power transmission was blocked, making it impossible for them to construct a mecha.
The vehicle that carried out the operation was a specially made Weiyuan-class motorcycle with a blue and white paint job. It had a ribbon around its neck and carried two long and two short red blades on its back, all of which had extremely strong armor-piercing capabilities.
The Weiyuan-style spy pattern, also known as the spy-type Weiyuan pattern.
Specialized units responsible for carrying out covert missions such as sabotage and assassination behind enemy lines.
The spy-like Wei Yuanshi said, "It's no use. This is a soul-binding net that can disrupt the flow of soul power. Just surrender obediently."
The other Miren rabble who had completed the [Yufuluo] construction were also subdued by the city guards' Weiyuan style, and the guiding device here was successfully destroyed.
"Reporting to the Dean," the secret agent sheathed his sword, "there were five targets in total, and they are all under control. Over."
Unexpectedly, the Star Soul Master of this machine was actually Dean Gu's assistant—Xiao Yue.
Suddenly a virtual screen popped up, displaying Xiaoyue's image.
After listening to the report, Gu Shijing nodded, a ruthless glint in her eyes. "Yes, bring all the survivors back to the Mech Academy. I will interrogate them personally."
"Hehe, it seems you discovered them a long time ago?" Old Xu's usually calm face broke into a smile. "You young lady, your cultivation level is just average, but you are quite adept at troop deployment and strategic planning."
"Mr. Xu, you flatter me..."
"I know what you're going to say. Let's skip the mutual flattery. Since everything's alright here, I'll go check out the North District," Old Xu said, leaping into the air. "There are two little guys over there that I'm quite interested in..."
I wonder if the little fellow that Elder Xu is interested in... refers to His Highness the Second Prince? Or those two aristocratic scions who seem "abnormal"?
