"Indeed, this place is quite extraordinary. Here, the True Essence Power within my body is surprisingly active."

Qiu Mingyan narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced downward, nodded, and said.

"This Mountain Villa certainly harbors mysteries. Capture that boy first, then investigate further!"

Qiu Minghan spoke with a note of certainty in his voice.

"Look quickly, there are people over there!"

"They are actually standing in mid-air. They must be Ancient Martial Artists..."

"..."

The three figures standing in the void immediately attracted the attention of many within the Mountain Villa.

"Hmph, these mortal ants dare to gossip about the likes of us old men."

Qiu Minghan cast a cold glance at the figures below, his gaze icy.

"Begone!"

Qiu Minghan shouted coldly, as a sound wave mixed with True Essence Power dispersed outward.

Where the sound wave passed, the people below instantly became rigid, spewing a mouthful of blood and fainting on the ground.

"Who dares to act recklessly in my Feipu Manor?"

At this moment, on the outskirts of the Osmanthus Forest, Elder Gu You, Lei Tong, Bing Yuan, and Elder Tian Yan all wore grim expressions as they swiftly shot out from the forbidden ground.

In mid-air above.

The two sides faced off in the air.

One side had three people, the other had four.

"Four Innate Realm masters?"

Qiu Minghan, upon seeing Elder Gu You and the others emerge, raised his ice-white eyebrows, a trace of surprise flickering in his eyes.

After all, reaching the Innate Realm in the Ancient Martial Realm is not common, and unexpectedly, that boy had four Innate Realm masters under him.

"Those two have auras of the Innate Realm... Peak of the Fifth Layer!"

If Qiu Minghan felt only a hint of surprise, to Elder Gu You and the others, it was downright shocking that the aura of these two elderly, one plump and one thin, had reached the peak of the Fifth Layer!

It's known that in the Innate Realm, each layer has a vast power difference, with every three levels marking a significant hurdle, for instance, the gap between the Third and Fourth Layers of the Innate Realm is like a chasm.

These two, both at the peak of the Fifth Layer as masters, could easily overrun the four of them.

As for the figure continuously shrouded in a black robe, Elder Gu You and the others couldn't sense a trace of True Essence Power from her, as though hidden in a black mist, her visage unclear.

Only the aged hand holding a cane, exuding an ancient air, was visible.

"Though you are strong in the Innate Realm, you are merely at the First and Second Layers, seen as larger ants in the eyes of me, Qiu Minghan."

Qiu Minghan said coldly, eyes showing a touch of disdain.

Hearing this, Elder Gu You and the others all wore somber expressions, but they did not argue, understanding how overpowering this adversary truly was.

"What grudge do you have with our Feipu Manor?!"

Elder Gu You asked with a grim face.

"Heh, you should ask that brat yourself, hiding like a turtle and using you as sacrificial pawns? So be it, this old man shall rid of you four larger ants accordingly."

Qiu Minghan laughed coldly, as a powerful wave of Ice Elemental Power radiated from him, causing the air's temperature to plummet rapidly.

In the evening sunlight sprinkling upon Heaven and Earth, snowflakes began to fall.

Swoosh!

With an icy gaze targeting Elder Gu You and the others, Qiu Minghan's figure flickered, charging at Elder Gu You.

Following Qiu Minghan came a storm of icy chill, imbued with rich Ice Elemental Power.

Such density was far beyond the True Essence Power emanated by Elder Gu You, akin to a stream facing a torrential river.

At this moment, even the True Essence Power within Elder Gu You and the four found itself slightly obstructed.

"Among them, you are the strongest, so I'll end you first."

Qiu Minghan's eyes, like cold pools, turned icy.

Locking onto Elder Gu You, who was at the peak of the Second Layer Innate Realm, his skeletal, slender hand, as if forged from ice crystals, reached for Elder Gu You's throat.
