In this battle, I will make sure they are utterly unable to look after both ends!”

Sheen Zhou was eager to know, when the Dan Family and many hunter villages in West Mountain were simultaneously plunged into peril, who exactly would West Mountain Hall save?

Long Heng pondered briefly, a smile gradually appearing on his face, “Lord Sheen truly is insightful!

I will relay this matter to the Shangguan Family Head so that he can handle it on our behalf.”

After Chu Xisheng left Xiushui, the greatest advantage was their manpower superiority near West Mountain, which could be brought into play.

Although that young lad with the Overlord Knife possessed merely Eighth Rank cultivation, his Vengeful Blade Intent was genuinely formidable.

Especially within West Mountain, with Chu Xisheng alone with a knife holding the fort, that was the true definition of one man standing at the pass, unstoppable by ten thousand men, where might of arms mattered little.

As long as the Fifth-Grade master of West Mountain Hall was pinned down, what chance did the scanty troops of more than a thousand of West Mountain Hall have against the West Mountain County Soldiers?

As Long Heng contemplated this, he became impatient.

He hoped that the boat Chu Xisheng and the Zuo Family were on would enter the Grand Canal soon.

Meanwhile, in the inner courtyard of the Chu Mansion in West Mountain Town, beneath the corridor of the main house, Chu Yunyun felt an intuition and glanced towards the direction of the county city.

She promptly withdrew her gaze, looking at a book of secret magic on her hand while lifting the teacup from the coffee table, contentedly drinking a cup of hot tea.

This book of Fire Element secret magic originated from Lu Luanti.

And its owner, Lu Luanti, was pacing back and forth within this courtyard.

She appeared utterly bored, wandering aimlessly through the courtyard, when in fact she was using the Divine Power of her inspiration to sense beneath the ground and inside the walls of the courtyard.

Lu Luanti wanted to know if there was anything buried underneath or if the walls had any hidden layers?

She then walked over to the well.

That black iron flagpole bought by Chu Yunyun was positioned over the well, tied below it a wood bucket.

Lu Luanti did not even glance at the flagpole and looked directly down the well.

To her disappointment, the well was only four zhang deep, and nothing was hidden inside as her Divine Sense probed, finding nothing.

Lu Luanti scratched her head, speculating where the God-Defying Flagpole could possibly be hidden?

She had searched throughout the entire Chu Mansion in the last few days to no avail.

There were also no concrete rumors in Jianghu about the whereabouts of the God-defying Flagpole specifically in West Mountain Hall.

But why had all those undercover agents joined West Mountain Hall in droves?

While Lu Luanti was puzzled, she heard Chu Yunyun ask curiously, “Senior sister, are you looking for something?

Did you lose something in our yard?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Luanti instantly felt a bit unnerved and embarrassed.

She casually walked back to the corridor and sat next to Chu Yunyun, “Just feeling bored, this is the downside of mixing in factions, nothing worthwhile all day long.

I kind of regret it now, I should have gone to the Capital City with Chu Xisheng.”

It had been just three days since they last met, yet Lu Luanti found herself oddly missing that person.

These days, she felt that everything was dull, her meals were tasteless, her sleep was poor, and she generally lacked energy.

Chu Yunyun smiled slightly, her gaze not leaving the book, “Brother said that West Mountain Hall cannot do without you, only with you here, can he feel reassured to be away.”

Hearing this, Lu Luanti propped her cheek with her hand, sighing worriedly, “That’s true, I am the only one who can help him secure West Mountain Hall now.”

West Mountain Hall currently harbored so many spies and traitors, like Xiaang Kui, Wang Zheng—Lu Luanti looked on, deeply concerned for Chu Xisheng.

Out of the more than thirty vice altar masters, nearly half of them had questionable backgrounds.

This was no longer West Mountain Hall; it had turned into Erwu Hall!

Once these people started causing trouble, West Mountain Hall could collapse instantly.

Lu Luanti felt that the West Mountain Hall established by Chu Xisheng was quite a feat and held great potential.

Once the Grand Canal opened, eliminating bandits and more people entering the mountains to make a living.

West Mountain Hall could at least control twenty thousand hunters, ten thousand medicine gatherers, and tens of thousands of strong woodcutters.

By then, even the Xiushui County Office would have to look to them, and the Governor of East State would show some respect.

This was a foundation that could elevate the Chu family to become one of the top powerful families in East State—a shame if lost.

Then Lu Luanti’s expression shifted subtly as she looked towards Chu Yunyun, “Yunyun, your cultivation has improved incredibly fast lately, how long has it been since the True Inheritance Test?

You are almost ready to condense your fourth magic rune.”

Eighth Rank sorcerers needed only four magic runes to condense a True Talisman and advance to Eighth Rank upper.

Although fewer magic runes were required, it was even more challenging.

They needed to condense stronger magic runes, necessitating more time and materials.

For some powerful magics, it required a vast amount of time to condense.

To Lu Luanti’s knowledge, the four magic runes Chu Yunyun was refining, three were Seventh Grade and one was Sixth Grade, which were extremely challenging and among the most elite in the world.

Among the famous sorcerers, only three to five had achieved Chu Yunyun’s standard.

Even Lu Luanti, when at Eighth Rank, had only condensed True Talismans at the same level as Chu Yunyun.

The renowned Magic Practitioner Shen Ao Wanderer from 3,000 years ago had also only managed to accommodate four Seventh Grade magic runes in his Eighth Rank lower True Talisman.

The key was that Chu Yunyun, in just two months, had already progressed to her fourth rune.

This meant that the young girl’s magic cultivation would soon reach Eighth Rank upper.
