After realizing it, he finally stopped his movement.

As for Jiang Ning and Ye Zhengqi, there was no change in their physical instincts.

Because although Shen Wenyan's movement technique was profound and his speed incredibly fast at this moment,

both of them could see clearly, very clearly.

"You broke through?" Shen Wenyan looked at Jiang Ning and suddenly spoke.

As soon as he said this,

Bai Luoyu was taken aback, then looked at Jiang Ning with eyes full of disbelief.

Ye Zhengqi also looked at Jiang Ning, his eyes calm.

As expected!!

He thought to himself.

When he first saw Jiang Ning, he sensed something unusual about Jiang Ning's presence.

The breakthrough in the Martial Arts Realm, although not directly written on one's forehead,

could be seen in the nuances.

The Blood Exchange Master starts to evolve, the flesh undergoes a transformation, gradually differing from ordinary people.

This evolution of life level also gradually brings difficulties in reproduction.

Even resulting in reproductive isolation from ordinary people.

Regarding these matters, they are no longer secrets.

Thus, some changes can be observed.

Especially for the Heavenly Human Grandmaster, once the breakthrough is newly achieved, the outward changes are even more noticeable.

The mastery of the Power of Heaven and Earth unconsciously manifests in many aspects at all times.

...

In the study.

Seeing the gazes concentrated on him,

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, indicating affirmation.

"Broke through!"

"Hiss—" Shen Wenyan inhaled sharply.

His expression turned extremely amazed: "Really broke through?!!"

"Really broke through!" Jiang Ning nodded again.

"Did you break through yesterday?" Shen Wenyan asked again.

"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded, adding: "Yesterday at noon."

"Incredible! Incredible!!" Shen Wenyan exclaimed repeatedly.

Looking at Jiang Ning, he had an illusion that Jiang Ning was radiating golden light.

Emitting ten thousand rays of golden light.

So young, yet he has reached this stage.

A Third Grade Heavenly Human Master.

In the past hundred years of Great Xia, this is truly a record-breaking existence.

After a moment.

The few of them calmed their emotions.

"Please sit!" Shen Wenyan spoke.

The few of them then took their seats.

"Let me introduce, this is Xie Yun, the Master of Wanhua Building here."

"Master Xie!" Bai Luoyu cupped his hands.

"Master Bai is too polite!" Xie Yun returned the gesture.

"Master Xie!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands.

"The name of Lord Jiang rings like thunder in my ears! Hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once, and seeing you today truly astonishes me!" Xie Yun responded courteously to Jiang Ning.

Witnessing this scene, Bai Luoyu couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly.

How could he not see that Xie Yun valued Jiang Ning far more than him?

But he also understood that this was human nature.

Jiang Ning had now reached Third Grade, achieving the status of a Heavenly Human Master.

While he had yet to begin Fourth Grade Marrow Refining, how could he compare to Jiang Ning at this moment?

Moreover, he was much older than Jiang Ning.

Having passed thirty, he no longer qualified for the Hidden Dragon List.

While Jiang Ning was not yet twenty.

A few days ago on the road, he still celebrated Jiang Ning's birthday.

After exchanging a few polite words, Shen Wenyan reopened the conversation, addressing Ye Zhengqi.

"Lord Ye, you specially brought Lord Jiang and Master Bai today, should I assume there is something important to discuss?"

"The Marquis guessed correctly!" Ye Zhengqi nodded and continued, "It is indeed an important matter to report!"

"Speak and let me hear!" Shen Wenyan said.

"First, take a look at this news!" Ye Zhengqi said, handing over the information previously shown to Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu to Shen Wenyan.

On one side, Xie Yun silently drank his tea alone.

Clearly, the few were discussing official matters.

Finding any excuse to leave now, or interjecting in the conversation, would be inappropriate behavior, so he tried to lower his presence, quietly sipping tea by himself.

Meanwhile.

Shen Wenyan took the intelligence report handed over by Ye Zhengqi.

Quickly scanning through it, his expression immediately became serious.

"The Great Demon Bai Chi? Is it the same Great Demon you previously reported to me?"

"Indeed!" Ye Zhengqi nodded and continued, "According to current statistics, the Great Demon has harmed the lives of more than thirteen hundred people around the Luoshui River."

"More than thirteen hundred people?" Shen Wenyan's brows furrowed immediately, muttering, "Such brutality, if left unchecked, will only escalate the carnage, which cannot be allowed to continue!!"

"I also believe it cannot be allowed to continue!" Ye Zhengqi nodded in agreement.

Then, with a slight sigh, he continued, "But a month ago, when I found the Great Demon Bai Chi in the Luoshui River and fought with it, I was no match for it."

"How does Lord Ye fare against the Great Demon Bai Chi?" Shen Wenyan asked.

"64!" Ye Zhengqi continued, "In that battle, although I was injured, that Great Demon Bai Chi was also struck by me and severely wounded. Hence, it has remained dormant for so long and is only now beginning to resurface."

"64?" Shen Wenyan murmured, eyes revealing a contemplative look.

Then, he turned to Ye Zhengqi.

"If Lord Ye were to confront it again, knowing thyself and the enemy, is there confidence in overcoming that Great Demon?"

Ye Zhengqi heard the words and slowly shook his head.

"I have confidence, but I am not its match."

"Confronting it again, I am still not its match."

"Bai Chi has the dragon lineage, its physical body is too formidable!"

"Even if I ascend a few steps as a Grandmaster, it's almost impossible to kill it in the water!"

Upon hearing Ye Zhengqi's words.

Shen Wenyan nodded immediately.

"To receive such an assessment from Lord Ye indicates that the Great Demon Bai Chi is no ordinary being! Apparently, only I can intervene!"

Ye Zhengqi said, "With the Marquis's intervention, the matter can be resolved!"

Shen Wenyan heard and revealed a faint smile.

"Just right, I am newly appointed and need to accomplish something."

With these words.

He promptly stood up.

"This matter is decided! I will depart soon."

Then he looked at Ye Zhengqi.

"Lord Ye, if any major events occur in the city, remember to notify me!"

"Understood!" Ye Zhengqi nodded in agreement.

Then.

Shen Wenyan took out the auction invitation he had just received and tossed it in front of Xie Yun.

"Master Xie, I won't be attending the auction!"

"Serious matters are crucial, the Marquis's heart for the people's welfare is admirable!" Xie Yun kept the invitation, cupping his hands in respect.

Shen Wenyan smiled slightly.

...

A moment later.

Ye Zhengqi, Jiang Ning, and several others walked out of the Shen Mansion.

They looked up towards the sky, watching as Shen Wenyan soared into the distance.

"The Great Grandmaster, truly astonishing!!" Bai Luoyu exclaimed as he watched Shen Wenyan disappear from sight.

Jiang Ning slightly nodded.

Even though he had seen this scene numerous times before, it still felt astonishing.

Breaking through the air with the physical body, capable of shattering the sound barrier.

This is such astonishing expressiveness.

Yet this power is not the strongest in this world.

Shen Wenyan is merely a newly entered Second Grade Divine Realm Great Grandmaster.

Above Second Grade lies the First-grade Martial Arts Peak.

Beyond that, there is the Martial Saint who has reigned for over eight centuries.

And the Ancient Era, a time when immortals, demons, gods, and buddhas coexisted.

Thinking of these, he couldn't help but feel an aspiration within his heart.

One day, he would step onto the true Martial Arts Peak.

"Lord Jiang, Master Bai, would you be interested in attending the auction in two days?" Xie Yun asked, looking at Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu.

Bai Luoyu saw this and immediately looked at Jiang Ning.

Only to see Jiang Ning's hand glimmer slightly as a similar appearing auction invitation appeared in his hand.

"Got it!" Jiang Ning raised the auction invitation in his hand, indicating.

"Purple-gold invitation, it does not match Lord Jiang's status!" Xie Yun shook his head.

Then he took out an invitation of the same level he had prepared for Shen Wenyan and handed it to Jiang Ning.

The color of Xie Yun's invitation was black-gold at this moment.

Compared to purple-gold, it appeared more noble.

"Thank you very much!" Jiang Ning accepted the invitation handed by Xie Yun and expressed his gratitude.

Xie Yun smiled and looked at Bai Luoyu.

"Master Bai?"

"Since Brother Jiang is attending, I will go too!" Bai Luoyu declared.

He then took the black-gold level invitation handed by Xie Yun.

"Two days later, I look forward to the arrival of both Patrol Envoys!" Xie Yun said.

"Give me one too!" Ye Zhengqi suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Xie Yun showed a slight surprise.

He was aware that Ye Zhengqi usually had no interest in attending auctions, so upon hearing Ye Zhengqi's request, he was momentarily stunned.

Then he regained his senses.

He quickly pulled out a black-gold invitation and handed it over.

"Lord Ye, with this you can enter the private box!"

"Mm!" Ye Zhengqi nodded and accepted the invitation.

...

At this moment, Shen Wenyan was already far from Guangning City.

He was headed alone towards Luoshui Lake.

To find the Great Demon Bai Chi, he could only continuously search underwater, hoping to find traces of the Great Demon Bai Chi.

Although the water is Bai Chi's domain.

But he, as a Second Grade Divine Realm Great Grandmaster, is not afraid.

Second Grade Divine Realm, strength far surpasses Third Grade.
