At the same time, on the top floor of a restaurant in the distance, two people were watching the fight taking place in the remote alley.
The morning sun had just risen, and the golden morning light outlined the heroic and bright face of the Prince of Jing, Dongfang Liren. She stood by the window with her hands behind her back, a look of approval in her eyes. "Good skills. This child's foundation is as solid as a rock."
The white-haired old woman with long hair that reached the floor stood behind her and shook her head slightly. "She Long didn't even flinch when he was hit. His foundation is indeed extraordinary, but he's too young. He's too rash and doesn't know the depths of Jianghu. He doesn't have any methodology in his martial arts and can only rely on brute force. Why don't we call She Long and the others back?"
"Since they're already there, let's help this child learn his lesson so that he won't be arrogant and offend Her Majesty when he enters the palace in the future."
The white-haired old woman nodded slightly and said no more.

In the alley…
Ye Jingtang held his saber tightly and paid attention to the powerful enemies on each side. In fact, he had already learned his lesson. In the past, he was invincible in the border town. He had only been in the capital for a few days, but all the people he met were f*cking deities. It was impossible for him not to be careful in the future.
Seeing that the two of them weren't attacking, Ye Jingtang said coldly, "Yang Guan, is this the help you found?!"
These two helpers were definitely not found by Yang Guan. After all, these two experts were known as the Black and White Impermanences. Even Yang Guan's master, the Three Absolutes Elderly Immortal, had to walk around them when he saw them.
Martial arts Grandmaster was an honorary title, and there were no clear boundaries. There were many ways to evaluate people in Jianghu, one of which was to treat the Black and White Impermanences as 'examiners'.
In Jianghu, those who could defeat one of them or retreat unscathed when the two of them joined forces were considered true Grandmasters. It could also be said that the Black and White Impermanences were the standard for Grandmasters.
Although Yang Guan was just a tool for the arrest of this young man, it was still quite satisfying to have someone vent his anger for him. "These two experts are close friends of my master. Do you really think I don't have any connections in the capital?"
Ye Jingtang's eyes darkened. He paid attention to the movements of the two people on his left and right, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
'Iron-Armed Impermanence' She Long had no interest in bullying children at all. He had been ordered by the Prince of Jing to come and check on Ye Jingtang's foundation. He could already tell that Ye Jingtang had a very solid foundation, but his martial arts were terrible.
Seeing that the Prince of Jing wasn't stopping them, She Long strode forward again.
Tap, tap, tap!
His footsteps were not fast, but they were steady and powerful, as if an iron tower was walking over.
Ye Jingtang was able to hit the iron man, but he couldn't touch the phantom. After weighing the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and jumped up, seemingly wanting to jump over the wall and break out of the encirclement.
When 'Phantom Impermanence' Shang Jianli saw that Ye Jingtang didn't know any real martial arts and that his right shoulder was sluggish from his palm strike, he didn't have any intention of intervening. He just watched from the entrance of the alley.
She Long's figure flashed and arrived on Ye Jingtang's left. He raised his hand and punched again.
Bam!
The fist was powerful and heavy, bringing with it a gust of wind in the alley!
Judging from the situation, Ye Jingtang would be struck down by the punch before he could even jump three feet.
But unexpectedly, She Long's expression changed drastically before his fist hit. He raised his arm and prepared to dodge!
Clang!
The next moment, a dragon-like saber roar suddenly sounded in the alley!
In the old limestone alley, a saber light flashed!
Dang!
It was the same crisp sound of metal colliding, but this time, there was a mist of blood.
She Long's leaping figure was sent flying by the tremendous force. His left sleeve was completely torn apart, revealing his bronze-colored muscular arm.
His forearm that was as hard as iron and stone was no longer intact. There was a bone-deep wound. It was a shocking sight as blood sprayed out.
Splash!
Watching at the entrance of the alley, Shang Jianli's eyes widened in incredulity.
She Long had tempered his arms for decades, and they were equivalent to divine weapons. Countless people in Jianghu wanted to cut them off, and those who could penetrate a finger's width into his flesh were already considered fierce people.
For this child to be able to see the bones with a single slash, it was enough to show how strong his physique and majestic internal energy were.
But this wasn't the main point. A true external martial arts Grandmaster could also cause this much damage to She Long with a single slash. The main point was the speed of the slash!
Shang Jianli could clearly see that She Long had detected Ye Jingtang's intentions in advance. As soon as the saber was unsheathed, he began to dodge.
The two sides moved at the same time. Even though She Long was an external martial arts Grandmaster with rich combat experience, his arm was still severely injured. This could only mean that She Long couldn't dodge this extremely domineering saber move even after using all his skills.
Shang Jianli had been in Jianghu for many years. In his impression, the only saber technique that could match this saber move's explosive power was Jun Mountain Terrace's Dragon Slaying Decree.
If it were the Xuanyuan family's Dragon Slaying Decree, if She Long recklessly got into close range, he would definitely be struck by multiple blows and become severely injured.
This child had explosive power comparable to the Dragon Slaying Decree's, so the possibility of him not knowing how to deal the finishing blow was very low. Therefore, Shang Jianli immediately rushed forward to help.
She Long also knew that the situation was bad and quickly retreated.
But what surprised the two of them was that Ye Jingtang didn't take advantage of the good opportunity of his opponent's hasty retreat to attack again.
After Ye Jingtang repelled the enemy with a single strike, he instantly sheathed his saber and resumed his starting stance. Then he kicked the wall and chased after She Long, whose left arm was injured.
If he could catch up, She Long would not be worthy of being called a Grandmaster.
Seeing She Long dodging in the air and getting out of his way, Ye Jingtang unleashed his full strength and charged toward Yang Guan!
This move was not to kill due to his anger but to capture a hostage.
No matter how solid his foundation was, he only knew how to use this saber move. However, the two experts were unfathomable. If they didn't send themselves to his door for him to slash, it would be very difficult for him to catch up to them, and he wouldn't be able to escape. The only way to survive was to capture their employer hostage.
Yang Guan didn't expect Ye Jingtang to be able to break through Iron Arm Impermanence's defense with a single slash. The shock in his eyes couldn't be any greater.
