Chapter: 5669

Wu Feiyan impatiently coldly retorted: "Hurry up!"

Wu Tianlin continued: "I had people search for information on local networks and short videos in Jinling. Last night, a series of thunderous sounds were heard near the Wanjilushan Manor where the An family resided, and just nearby, an extremely powerful explosion was triggered, with the explosion so loud that it was audible throughout all of Jinling......"

Wu Feiyan's expression turned pale, some alarm evident as she asked: "Explosion?! What kind of explosion?! Is it like the thunderous sound from last time, or is it like a bomb exploding?"

Wu Tianlin said: "It's an explosion sound!"

Wu Feiyan furrowed her brows tightly: "If it's really an explosion sound, then Long Shengbo may have already sacrificed himself to break through the Qīng Wàn Assembly for me..."

Wu Tianlin exclaimed: "What kind of enemy could be strong enough to make Long Shengbo sacrifice himself?!"

From a young age, Wu Tianlin had been following Wu Feiyan and trying to learn the way, his innate abilities not too great but sufficient to enter the door of cultivation. Furthermore, he was Wu Feiyan's trusted aide, so he knew very well what Wu Feiyan did in the Nì Màn Gōng inside the four dukes' mansions.

Wu Feiyan became a bit worried and muttered to herself: "Long Shengbo's abilities are already quite formidable, with my own gift added, it's like adding wings to a tiger. If he really sacrifices himself, then the person who made him sacrifice himself must be much stronger than him..."

As she spoke, Wu Feiyan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "I never thought that Jinling would have someone so powerful. Given my understanding of the An family, they couldn't possibly be in contact with someone as strong as this. So what is this person's background?"

Wu Tianlin couldn't help but ask: "My lord, I think it's likely that this person knows the An family, otherwise why would he save them at a critical moment?"

Wu Feiyan shook her head solemnly: "I don't know. If Long Shengbo really sacrifices himself, then his opponent must be a stronger cultivator. But I've had people keep tabs on the An family for many years and haven't found any connection between them and any cultivators."

Wu Tianlin said again: "Could it be that Long Shengbo unintentionally offended some powerful figures in Jinling?"

Wu Feiyan thought for a moment and said: "It's not impossible. Two days ago, Long Shengbo told me that he accidentally discovered a magical artifact while in Jinling. Since there was an artifact, it's very likely that there's a cultivator around. And I'm starting to suspect that the magical artifact Long Shengbo found in Jinling might be a trap set by his opponent, with the so-called magical artifact being just a lure to get Long Shengbo hooked..."

Wu Tianlin exclaimed: "If it's really so, wouldn't their opponent suspect that Long Shengbo plans to go to Jinling?!"

"It's possible." Wu Feiyan expressed complex emotions as she suddenly thought of something and blurted out: "I'll let Ding Yuanbo secretly follow Long Shengbo tonight. If Long Shengbo is pressured into taking a drastic step, the other party might also be in grave danger!"

Wu Tianlin widened his eyes: "If Ding Yuanbo also encounters mishap, it would be too great a loss for us! You've spent so many years cultivating these four dukes; if three of them were to get hurt, the people below would definitely become disorganized..."

Wu Feiyan spoke coldly: "Disorganized? Remember, if Long Shengbo and Ding Yuanbo both got into trouble, whoever in the Five Military Governor's office tries to create chaos, I'll have their leg chopped off! If that still doesn't work, I'll chop off both legs!"

Wu Tianlin bowed respectfully: "I will obey!"

Wu Feiyan said again: "If those two got into trouble, we must let the Five Military Governor's office strictly control the message below. Whoever dares to leak information, I'll take their life!"

As Wu Tianlin spoke, he knelt on one knee, speaking with utmost respect: "Your Majesty, your subject has something to report!"

Wu Feiyan spoke coldly: "Speak!"

Wu Tianlin said: "Your Majesty! If Long Shengbo and Ding Yuanbo were both to die in Jinling, I dare propose that Your Majesty let the three old men leave early, sending them to Jinling together. With the three of them working together, they can definitely kill off that hidden expert lurking in the shadows!"

Wu Feiyan's brow furrowed in an instant, and she spoke coldly: "The three elder men have been secluded for over a hundred years, right at the critical moment of opening the Mud Ball Palace. If we let them leave now, it would inevitably disrupt their meditation progress, and who knows if they might even push back the time by twenty more years to open the Mud Ball Palace! It's impossible to make such a decision so easily..."

She continued, "You know that the three elder men are my hidden ace in the hole. Over the past hundred years or so, only five people have known of their existence - excluding you, there are four dukes who don't need me to reveal this secret!"

Wu Tianlin spoke hastily: "Your Majesty! If Long Shengbo and Ding Yuanbo meet with misfortune today, I can be certain that the person who killed them is the same one who killed Jian Gongbo, saved An Jia in New York, and rescued Lin Wan'er in Northern Europe - they are all part of the same camp!"
