He made up his mind.
After dealing with them, he would leave with his parents. He would not wait!
Swoosh!
Taking a step forward, Xu Changming attacked directly. He raised his right hand, and green internal force circulated in his palm. A huge forceful bag slapped Zhang Ronghua's face.
Clap! Clap!
Two explosive slaps sounded, but it was not Zhang Ronghua who was slapped. It was Xu Changming. He did not attack. A woman in purple appeared in front of him with the temperament of a superior and endless temptation.
From the back, her figure was perfect and flawless.
Two big hoods knocked Xu Changming to the ground and stepped on his face. He did not know how to be polite at all and crushed him to death. His nose was broken, his face was disfigured, and his teeth were broken. It seemed that he would eat all the soil on the ground.
The surrounding people from the True Dragon Hall reacted quickly. They drew their White Dragon Sword and were about to rush up.
The woman in purple took out a golden token. This group of people knelt on the ground in fear and threw down their swords. They bowed respectfully. "Greetings, my lord!"
"Get lost!"
She kicked Xu Changming away and he hit the wall before stopping.
As his men helped him up, he did not even dare to be angry. He was terrified, but he did not leave. He summoned his courage and said, "The higher-ups ordered us to guard here."
"Do I have to repeat myself?"
Seeing that she wanted to kill him, Xu Changming did not dare to insist and hurriedly left with his men.
The woman in purple turned around, revealing an unforgettable face that was branded in the depths of her soul. It was actually the Empress!
She smiled.
As if used to people being surprised, she explained, "My name is Su Qiutang. The Empress is my twin sister."
No wonder they looked so alike.
"Thank you!"
"The Crown Prince asked me to come. He asked me to tell you to relax. Some rumors are not worth mentioning."
Her beautiful eyes darted around as if she wanted to see through him. "Are you preparing to run?" she teased.
Zhang Ronghua: "…"
"He thinks highly of you. I want to try."
The corners of her mouth curled up as she said, "You're at the fourth level of the Grandmaster Realm. I won't bully you. How about suppressing your cultivation to the same realm as yours and taking a move from me?"
"Can I refuse?"
"What do you think?"
Zhang Ronghua asked Zheng Fugui to step back, leaving a huge space.
Su Qiutang asked, "Are you ready?"
"You can attack now."
She raised her jade-like hand and Purple True Essence condensed in her palm. She only used her strength at the fourth level of the Grandmaster Realm. With a wave of her hand, everything seemed to have stopped at this moment. It seemed to be slow and appeared in front of him in a single move. Her palm contained destructive power as she slapped his chest.
She did not use martial arts. She only relied on her control of strength and comprehension of her realm.
Zhang Ronghua did the same. He clenched his fists and did not mobilize the Black Yellow True Essence. With the strength she had displayed, if he used it, he would be seen through. Instead, he faced the enemy with his Righteousness Qi.
The power of Extreme Yang and Divine Justice bombarded her jade-like hand.
A violent wave of air came from the place where the two of them fought. Although Zheng Fugui hid far away, he was still sent flying by this wave of air and rolled a few times on the ground before stopping.
He retracted his hand.
Su Qiutang smiled like a flower and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad!"
"Thanks for letting me win."
On the surface, it seemed to be indiscriminate, but in fact, Zhang Ronghua had the upper hand and defeated her true essence with his Righteousness Qi.
"Stay at home in peace. They won't find trouble with you again. But remember, don't leave the residence until this matter is resolved."
He waited for her to leave.
Zheng Fugui patted the dust off his body and ran over. "How did she cultivate? She's so strong at such a young age?"
"How did you know she was young?"
"By looking at her face!"
Bang!
Zheng Ronghua rewarded him with a knock on the head and glared angrily. "There are some cultivation techniques and treasures that can permanently preserve her appearance and maintain her appearance at her peak. It's not difficult for her to obtain them with her status."
"She's the Crown Prince's aunt? Does the Empress look like this?"
Seeing his cousin's face darken, Zheng Fugui was filled with the desire to live and changed the topic.
"We're still in danger?"
"Not for the time being! The Crown Prince has already attacked. The higher-ups have begun to fight. We'll wait and see. If anyone really attacks us, she'll step in and resolve it."
They entered the courtyard.
Zhang Qin and the others were all waiting. They quickly walked up to him. "How is it?"
"The Crown Prince has appeared. The people from the True Dragon Hall have been chased away. They won't be in danger for the time being. However, don't leave the residence until the matter is settled."
Everyone nodded.
They entered the room.
Zhang Ronghua cultivated the Black Yellow Heaven Splitting Technique, the Great Dao Righteous Song, and the Mountain River World Suppressing Fist.
Three days later.
Other than the Black Yellow Heaven Splitting Technique which had not made any progress, the Black Yellow True Essence had become stronger. The other two martial arts broke through another small realm, and his soul power became stronger and reached the middle-stage of the Heaven-grade. His Righteousness Qi also doubled.
Especially the Mountain River World Suppressing Fist. It had already touched the true intent. Once it was used, it was like mountains and rivers descending and suppressing the world. It was majestic. Just its aura was not something ordinary people could resist.
The storm outside did not stop. As time passed, it became more and more intense. Two days ago, the men and horses of the True Dragon Hall appeared again. The leader was still Xu Changming. He led a team of White Dragon Envoys and a troop of troops to surround the residence again. After the previous lesson, they did not dare to attack again.
They just surrounded them to prevent them from escaping.
The oppressive atmosphere had reached a critical point.
Although he was at home, news from outside came from Qing'er one after another.
This concerned the reputation of the imperial family. The civil and military officials forced the Crown Prince to execute them. Then, they would use an iron fist to suppress the people in the capital who gossiped. If they found them, they would kill them.
Until yesterday.
Even the imperial family expressed their opinion in court and asked the Crown Prince to make a decision.
For a moment, Zhang Ronghua's family was pushed into the storm.
No matter what happened outside, it could not affect the residence.
Zheng Fugui practiced the Mountain River World Suppressing Fist crazily. When he had time, Zheng Ronghua would give him some pointers. His parents and uncle did not cause trouble and did their own things.
They left the room.
Standing at the artificial lake, Zhang Ronghua took out the jade flute that Ji Xueyan had given him last time and blew on it.
The light and empty flute sound came out, representing his current mental state. The emotionless concept spread further and further.
At the Grand Tutor Manor.
Ji Xueyan had been at home for the past few days and did not go to Jixia Academy. She knew everything that had happened outside.
Hearing the flute outside, she put down the book in her hand and walked to the window. She looked in his direction and praised, "He can still calm down in the storm and not be disturbed by external objects. His Highness has found a good subordinate."
Then, she shook her head.
For some reason, she remembered the scene in the dilapidated temple again. Her jade-like hand subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, shocked by this crazy thought of hers. She hurriedly retracted her hand and extinguished thoughts she shouldn't have.
Her beautiful eyes flickered coldly. "It's about to end!"
