105: Face to face, two top-tier masters!

The voice fell, cold as ice from the deepest hell.

Seeing this, everyone in the Assembly Hall was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained their senses and began cursing loudly:

"Where did this arrogant fool come from, daring to be so insolent and insult Big Boss Lu in our Qingfeng Stockade! You're seeking death!"

"You dog playing tricks and pretending to be a ghost, get out here quickly! No matter who you are, today I, 'Dragon-Slaying Hand' Wang Honglai, will crush your skull to apologize to Big Boss Lu!"

"Truly seeking death! A rat hiding its head and tail, get out here and accept your death, you bastard!"

...In the Assembly Hall, a group of Bandits and family heads were all furious, their faces flushed red with rage as they cursed.

Their posture was as if the newcomer had killed their own birth parents, filled with gnashing hatred.

Meanwhile, seated in the central armchair of the Assembly Hall, Lu Chong's expression also changed upon hearing this, feeling a surge of anger instantly welling up from his heart.

However, he was, after all, the Big Boss of Qingfeng Stockade, having dominated Wangwu Mountain alone for over a decade, and was quite deep and scheming.

Therefore, although furious at this moment, he still knew that anyone daring to provoke him so brazenly on such an occasion must be no simple figure. Thus, he barely suppressed his anger and coldly shouted to the outside:

"Just which friend is this, causing such a disturbance at Lu's birthday banquet? If Lu has offended in any way, then please, friend, explain clearly."

"If Lu is at fault, then Lu will take full responsibility for this matter."

"But if this is deliberate trouble-making? Hmph! Then don't blame Lu for being impolite!"

"Oh, impolite?"

"Heh! This Prefect would like to see just how a mere insignificant Second-Rank ant like you plans to be 'impolite'!"

Before the domineering words had fully faded, everyone saw a terrifying whirlwind descend from the sky, sweeping through the entire Assembly Hall, overturning tables and chairs, and causing countless bowls and plates to clatter and smash on the ground, shattering into pieces.

Then, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, three figures descended from the sky.

One of them was a middle-aged man dressed in purple robes, tall in stature with a dignified and imposing face.

At this moment, stepping into the Assembly Hall step by step, the terrifying blood and Qi emanating from his body, akin to dragons and elephants, seemed to slightly distort the surrounding Void Realm. To everyone's eyes, it was as if a legendary ancient behemoth was approaching—terrifying, powerful, sweeping all before it.

The other was a man dressed in blue robes, with a gentle face and a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, looking like an ordinary scholar.

However, the terrifying Aura erupting from his body was even stronger than the domineering dragon-and-elephant-like man, overwhelmingly fearsome!

"The Prefect of Dongshan Prefecture, Chi Longyue!"

"And another mysterious expert, who is actually also a First-Rank Master!"

"Heavens! Two First-Rank Masters, how... how could they come to this small Qingfeng Stockade!"

"And who is that young man between them? Why does it seem like even the two First-Rank Masters defer to him?"

In the Assembly Hall, everyone instantly exclaimed in shock, their eyes revealing boundless fear, with not a trace of their previous arrogance remaining.

A First-Rank Master—in Dongshan Prefecture, that was the heavens!

The entire Dongshan Prefecture, at full count, only had three First-Rank Masters, and that even included one from the Lin family, Lin Zhentian, who was already nearing the end of his life.

But now, two such 'heavens' actually deferred to a young man. Just what status did this young man hold? Could he be the son of a legendary Xiantian Grandmaster?

Everyone was utterly terrified, each like a duck with its neck caught, unable to utter another word.

Only Lu Chong, sitting in the armchair dressed in bright red birthday robes, frowned tightly as he stared at the young man in the center, seemingly deep in thought.

It wasn't until a moment later that he seemed to have a sudden realization, exclaiming:

"You... you are that Lin Yi from Guangling Prefecture!"

"Correct!"

Seeing Lu Chong's shocked and fearful expression, Lin Yi's gaze lowered, his expression icy cold:

"Lu Chong, back when you bullied me for being weak, captured my parents, and broke my father's leg, you probably never imagined a scene like today, did you?"

"These past two years, my diligent Cultivation has been partly for my own sake, and partly to take bloody vengeance on a beast like you!"

"Chi Longyue, take action! Capture him alive and bring him back to Dongshan Prefecture. Once there, I'll deal with him properly!"

Lin Yi commanded lightly.

In fact, he had originally intended to act himself this time because he hated Lu Chong so much that not doing it personally wouldn't suffice to vent his anger.

But later, Lin Yi thought it over carefully. Although Lu Chong was weak, he was, after all, a Second-Rank Martial Artist. Who knew if he had some hidden trump card?

If he acted himself and accidentally capsized in a tiny ditch, that would be too unjust.

So, to be safe, it was best to let Chi Longyue make the move, since he was a First-Rank Martial Artist and could handle it.

"Yes! Inspector Lin."

Hearing this, Chi Longyue nodded heavily, a flash of excitement in his eyes, before transforming into a phantom shadow and pouncing towards Lu Chong.

His speed was extremely fast, almost instantly closing in on Lu Chong.

However, at this moment, Lu Chong, who had been full of fear, now showed not the slightest trace of terror on his face. Instead, he seemed somewhat excited.

"Not good! Teacher Wang, Chi Longyue, leave immediately!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi hurriedly shouted to Wang Yu beside him, then immediately prepared to get up and leave.

But before he could move, a faint laugh suddenly rang out within the Qingfeng Stockade Assembly Hall:

"Hehe, you're quite sharp, little fellow. However, unfortunately, it's too late."

Before the words had faded, among the Bandits in the Assembly Hall, three originally unremarkable Bandits suddenly erupted with a powerful, heart-trembling blood and Qi force!

That blood and Qi was so terrifying, almost completely on par with Chi Longyue's, and one was even slightly stronger than Wang Yu's, truly a Peak existence even among First-Rank Martial Artists! Frighteningly formidable!

Then, one of the figures near Lu Chong swiftly, like a ghost, charged towards Chi Longyue.

The other two instantly charged fiercely towards Wang Yu and Lin Yi.

One used a sword, the other used palms.

The two simultaneously wielded sword gleams and palm techniques, manifesting layers of extraordinary phenomena in the Void Realm, each incredibly powerful.

"The Great Yuan Dynasty's exclusive First Rank martial art, 'Sea-Overturning Palm'!"

"The Great Yuan Dynasty's exclusive First Rank martial art, 'Cloud-Piercing Wind Sword'!"

"This is bad!"

Seeing these two martial arts, Lin Yi's heart sank, and his expression instantly changed drastically.

At this moment, he already understood everything.

So, from the time he was still in Tianshan Pavilion, from the moment Lu Chong began his Breakthrough to Martial Dao Second Rank, he had unknowingly fallen into the Great Yuan Dynasty's trap.

Because the Great Yuan Dynasty knew that, given his hatred for Lu Chong, no matter how long he Cultivated in Tianshan Pavilion, once he left Tianshan Pavilion in the future, he would definitely return to Dongshan Prefecture to seek vengeance on Lu Chong.

And within Dongshan Prefecture, due to the numerous troops, many Second-Rank Martial Artists, and the protection of Chi Longyue and the First-Rank Master sent by Heavenly Mountain Sect,

even though the Great Yuan Dynasty was powerful, attempting to assassinate Lin Yi under such strict protection would require paying a huge price, possibly even losing several First-Rank Martial Artists.

Therefore, to reduce the cost, they had to use Lu Chong to lure Lin Yi out, or lure out Chi Longyue and a large group of elite troops.

But Lu Chong's strength was weak, merely a Third-Rank Martial Artist.

With such meager strength, Lin Yi wouldn't need to mobilize Chi Longyue at all, nor come out himself. He could simply send a few Second-Rank Martial Artists with a group of elite troops to capture Lu Chong.

So, to achieve the goal of luring out Lin Yi or Chi Longyue, they had to enhance Lu Chong's strength!

Only by elevating Lu Chong to the Second-Rank Realm, and leveraging the terrain and the many Bandits of Qingfeng Stockade, could Lu Chong escape the encirclement of several or even ten Second-Rank Martial Artists.

Only then would Lin Yi be forced to dispatch Chi Longyue!

And as long as Lin Yi dispatched Chi Longyue, then regardless of whether Lin Yi subsequently stayed in Dongshan Prefecture City,

or, to be safe, brought the Heavenly Mountain Sect expert and Chi Longyue together to Qingfeng Stockade, keeping these two First-Rank Masters as close bodyguards, Lin Yi would ultimately fall into the Great Yuan Dynasty's trap.

This was the terror of the Great Yuan Dynasty!

Once they set a trap, they would plan everything meticulously, with each step interlocking!

This way, no matter what choice you made, you would ultimately fall into their trap.

And this time, the consequence of Lin Yi falling into their trap was—

Facing... two, First-Rank Masters!
