Divine Sword Manor entrance.

Zhao Yulong looked at Sun Ming at this moment, feeling immense pressure.

At this moment, he finally understood that the strongest in Divine Sword Manor was not Shangguan Guyun, but this outsider before him.

This Martial Arts prodigy who broke through the Shangguan family and became Manor Master.

He couldn't help but recall information about Sun Ming.

Although he didn't grow up in Dongling County, he is originally from Dongling County. Since taking office last year, he has read extensively about past events large and small in Dongling County, and examined records of various figures.

Sun Ming is someone he views as exceptionally extraordinary.

From a mere apprentice in Refining Soldiers to a high-ranking member of Divine Sword Manor.

With an outsider status, he broke the nine generations of Shangguan family holding the Manor Master's position, effectively becoming the number one figure in Divine Sword Manor.

Previously, after reviewing Sun Ming's past history, he already felt Sun Ming was very special.

Divine Sword Manor, the primary power in Dongling County apart from the official entities, where almost all important positions are held by the Shangguan family.

The entire manor's personnel, eighty percent bear the surname Shangguan.

Outsiders, if they do not change their surname, find it extremely difficult to be entrusted with responsibilities.

But Sun Ming is different.

As an outsider, he holds the position of Manor Master at Divine Sword Manor.

As for Shangguan Jincheng, he is merely the Family Head of the Shangguan family and must heed Sun Ming's orders.

Originally, he thought he paid great attention to Sun Ming, hence he restrained his actions significantly, not forcibly barging into Divine Sword Manor.

Although this was Jiang Ning's intention, it was also due to his apprehension towards Sun Ming.

After all, since Sun Ming took the Manor Master position at Divine Sword Manor, he hasn't displayed his prowess for over a decade.

No one knows the level Sun Ming has reached now.

He himself certainly doesn't know.

Therefore, before probing the depths of Sun Ming's strength, he dared not act recklessly.

Now confirming Sun Ming's power, he not only doesn't feel relaxed but instead finds immense pressure.

Great Success in Sword Intent, transcending into a Heavenly Person!

This sufficiently proved that Sun Ming's Sword Dao cultivation had reached a state of uncanny mastery, furthermore indicating that Sun Ming had long become a Heavenly Grandmaster.

It also shows that Sun Ming's strength has surpassed the previously titled Dongling County's number one, Shangguan Guyun, and is above his own.

After pondering for a moment.

Zhao Yulong said, "Every family has its rules, every nation has its laws!"

Sun Ming, hearing the words, nodded slowly: "Master Zhao's words, I also agree! Every family has its rules, every nation has its laws! That statement is indeed true!"

Then, he continued, "So, I'll hand over fifty people, Master Zhao can take them back; that's the law, leave them to Master Zhao's disposal! As for the rest of the list, Master Zhao can hand it to me; I will convene a meeting to seriously deal with the troublemakers within the manor afterward, giving Master Zhao a satisfactory response, what do you think?"

"Manor Master, your words may chill the hearts of those within the manor!" said someone coldly from behind.

"Silence, Jinhong!!" Shangguan Jincheng reprimanded.

"Brother, what are you afraid of? A mere outsider, what qualification does he have to say to hand over our clansmen? What does the Shangguan family have to fear from a minor Inspection Office!"

As those words fell.

"Slap—"

Shangguan Jincheng immediately slapped his seventh brother.

"Silence!" he reprimanded.

Seeing Shangguan Jinhong no longer speaking, Shangguan Jincheng then looked at Sun Ming and Zhao Yulong.

"The Shangguan family follows all Manor Master's instructions!"

"You're indeed a smart person!" Sun Ming said with a half-smile.

He then looked towards Zhao Yulong, "Master Zhao, what do you think?"

Zhao Yulong gave Sun Ming a serious look and slowly shook his head, "Not good!"

"Sigh!" Sun Ming sighed upon hearing this and said, "Seems Master Zhao is unwilling to show mercy but instead aims to annihilate Divine Sword Manor completely! If that's the case, then we'll have to settle this through action!"

Then, Sun Ming continued, "Master Zhao, if my guess is correct, the old manor master has either been captured or killed, right?"

These words hit like a thunderclap, causing the gathered ears to buzz.

"Impossible!"

"This... Impossible!!"

"This... How could it be??!"

"..."

The people of Divine Sword Manor couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Comparatively, Shangguan Jincheng appeared quite calm.

Sun Ming guessed it, and so did he.

At this moment.

Zhao Yulong looked at Sun Ming, smiling faintly: "Master Sun is indeed clever!"

"With Master Zhao having the confidence to surround Divine Sword Manor, if I couldn't see through this, I wouldn't be qualified to be Manor Master!" Sun Ming replied.

Then he continued, "Unfortunately, Master Zhao is unwilling to extend a lenient hand, since that's the case, Master Zhao might as well call out those behind you! Just with you alone, you are not qualified to take anyone away from the manor behind me!"

With those words, Sun Ming stood tall, resembling a sharp sword standing here.

Just then.

He suddenly looked toward his back.

"So... The one behind Master Zhao has already entered the manor!" Sun Ming coldly looked at Zhao Yulong for a moment and then stepped into the manor, transforming into a sword light and disappearing.

...

Elsewhere.

Divine Sword Manor's treasury.

Harnessing Heavenly Eye Insight into four directions, Jiang Ning easily found Divine Sword Manor's treasury.

Numerous Divine weapons and armaments, countless miraculous metals and celestial irons.

He sneaked into the manor, disposed of the treasury guards, and effortlessly broke open the treasury doors, stepping into it.

The Jiezhi Leaf he had previously acquired also showed its significant utility at this moment.

Though the Jiezhi Leaf he purchased was a vein of Jiezhi Leaf, its internal space was about the size of a regular pond, making it easier to store the treasures within Divine Sword Manor's treasury.

After completing the plundering and stepping out of the treasury, he saw a man in white robes and white hair, holding a longsword, standing on the high wall. From his appearance, his age was indeterminate.
