upted as the stone spire, now off course, fell harmlessly beside Lu Xia Tian.Jin Changdao unleashed a formidable display. With his centipede staff, he pointed towards the sky, and several golden shado...“This silver-haired boy is quite composed. Old Monster Mengshan, how much longer will you brood” Xiang Nanming saw that Lu Xiaoteng remained as still as a mountain, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. He urged the real person Mengshan with a sentence.

"Don't rush things, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Even this young whippersnapper can stay calm, are we two old fellows worse than him" Mengshan Zhenren chuckled. The magic blood soul robe he controlled didn't move at all, but continued to emit faint crimson ripples, spreading outward and attracting more spiritual birds to crash into the formation ahead.

Countless spiritual birds crashed into the spirit shield of the formation, transforming into patches of blood. Broken limbs and feathers flew about in the wind. This ethereal Lingwu Mountains domain, which moments ago seemed serene and mystical, was now a chaotic mess, with blood swirling in the air, refusing to dissipate. The heavy stench of blood filled the air, becoming increasingly oppressive, even gradually suppressing the mist that had once drifted through the mountains.

As the blood qi gathered more and more, thirteen blood-colored spikes gradually condensed in the air. The blood-colored spikes were adorned with intricate patterns. Their aura was eerie and powerful. However, these thirteen blood-colored spikes did not seem eager to attack. The blood qi in the air surged, and the thirteen blood-colored spikes vanished. Lu Xiaoteng narrowed his eyes. These blood-colored spikes would definitely not disappear on their own; they must have been concealed by Xiang Nanming using some special means.

“It seems this old monster is planning to remain silent until the last moment, then make a thunderous roar. Once he attacks, it will surely be a devastating strike.” Lu Xia Tian Shen’s divine sense reached out and discovered that the number of spirit birds in the nearby mountains seemed to be more than usual. Judging from the current situation, this was no coincidence.

At this time, the Lingwu Mountains had begun to show strange signs. Xu Qin anxiously found the nearest squad leader of the Imperial Guard. Leading the team was a young man with sharp eyebrows and an air of haughty indifference.

"Strange phenomena have appeared in the Lingwu Mountains, with numerous spiritual birds attacking them. Now, please lead the Imperial Guards to drive away the spiritual birds." Xu Qin worried about Lu Xiaoteng's situation and spoke very quickly.

“The Lingwu Mountains are the ancestral forbidden land of the Elder Council. Even guards need approval from the Elder Council to enter. This matter is beyond my authority.” The young man with thick eyebrows said with a look of difficulty.

"Indeed, some days ago, Senior Nan Ming and Senior Yin Shan, along with several other great cultivators, went to the Lingwu Mountain Range in person. Unexpectedly, they were met with a closed door and driven out by that ignorant silver-haired cultivator. Now they've come to seek help from the Imperial Guard. Such a shift from arrogance to humility is truly something this King has learned about."

A familiar voice sounded, Xu Qin looked intently, the person who came was Ze Wang Xiang Yuze. But at this time, Xiang Yuze was wearing the armor of the Imperial Guard. Xu Qin couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart, and she immediately understood, "How did you come to the Imperial Guard"

“The original division commander was dealing with matters at home and would be on leave for a period of time, ranging from several months to several years. As a member of the imperial family, I naturally had to contribute my strength. During this time, I would be responsible for the defense of this area. I would absolutely not allow any scoundrels to pass through the area under my jurisdiction, so as not to delay Princess Yu Xin’s ascension.” Xiang Yuze had a stern expression on his face, but his eyes were filled with satisfaction.

Xu Qin's face flashed with a trace of anger. Xiang Nanming actually used the power of the Elders' Council to transfer Xiang Yuzhe here. At least now they had blocked the reinforcements from the Imperial Guard. It seemed that the only option was to go to the Elders' Council, but Xiang Kuang wasn't there. Xiang Nanming, Xiang Yin Shan, and Xiang Fei Hong were several figures who took control of the Elders' Council while the heads with the Venerable Elder Tokens were absent. The other elders probably wouldn't dare to offend Xiang Nanming and his group.

Xu Qin felt a chill run down her spine. This scheme by Nan Ming was incredibly clever and well-laid out. However, Xu Qin still held onto a sliver of hope in her heart. She would go to the Elder Council and give it a try, for there might be a chance. Although most people wouldn't dare to offend Xiang Nanming, who had made such great strides in power, the entire royal family Elder Council wasn't Xiang Nanming's backyard after all. There would surely be different voices.

It's pointless to waste time with Xu Yuze, so Xu Qin didn't give him a chance to speak and immediately flew towards the Elder Council's mountain range.

The Council of Elders is located in the heart of the Imperial City. In the distance, a collection of ancient buildings sprawls across the landscape. Several pagodas rise gracefully, while low courtyards are interspersed among rolling hills. At the center lies a seemingly unassuming palace nestled amidst lush greenery and vibrant, energy-filled mountains. Above it, a sculpture of a blue phoenix with its wings outstretched hangs suspended in mid-air, defying gravity without any visible support.

The Elder Council's defenses weren't imposing, and at a glance, there wasn't even a sign of patrol units. However, to think that anyone could just waltz into the Elder Council's territory would be a grave mistake. You wouldn't even know how you died.

As Xu Qin approached, the suspended Qingluan sculpture seemed to brighten its eyes. Two emerald-green pythons, each over ten feet long, extended their heads from ancient pines on the mountainside, their cold eyes fixed on the approaching Xu Qin.

Xu Qin had been here twice before with Yin Xiaozi, so she knew the rules. She reached out and displayed a jade token. A beam of light flew out from the jade token and entered the eyes of the qilin carving.

After absorbing the spiritual light, the Qinglan Carving let out a clear cry and appeared between the two blue python heads that had been lurking in the mountainside. They retracted again. Unfortunately, Xu Qin's cultivation was not enough. If Lu Xia Tian were here, perhaps he could have detected these two large demon-level guardian spirit pythons.

"Greetings, Elder Xiang!" Most of the elders in the Grand Council were busy with their own affairs, but they always left a senior elder to oversee the imperial city. Xu Qin looked at Elder Xiang before him and felt slightly relieved; at least it wasn't Xiang Nanming.

“What’s the matter” asked Xiang, his head somewhat bald and with a plump, swollen figure.

Here is the translated text:

"Greetings, Elder. The Lingwu Mountain region is currently under attack by a large group of spirit birds, which has severely impacted the area. I respectfully request that the Elder dispatch someone to eliminate these spirit birds as soon as possible." Although Xu Qin knew this was likely orchestrated by Xiang Nanming, without any evidence, she hadn't even seen Xiang Nanming. How could she dare to casually mention his name Otherwise, accusing an elder of such a crime would be too heavy a burden for her to bear.

"A whole flock of spirit birds in the Lingwu Mountains going out of control Is this really happening" At this moment, a familiar voice sounded. Xu Qin's heart skipped a beat, as the speaker was none other than Xiang Fei Hong and Xiang Yin Shan.

"Since this matter has already occurred, within the Council of Elders, this junior wouldn't dare to act out of line." Xu Qin hurriedly said, with people unrelated to him, if their cultivation hadn't been pulled down a significant level, it was still acceptable to call them fellow cultivators. However, after all, they were from the same root and lineage, and their ethical standing and seniority were still there.

“Some days ago, I went to the Lingwu Mountains with Yin Shan Shu, wanting to check on that girl Qingcheng. But we were chased out. Now that something has happened, you're coming to bother the Elder Council again. Do you think the Elders of the Elder Council are just here for you to summon and dismiss at will” Xiang Fei Hong said coldly.
