Xu Xingwen said, "Let's not make any rash moves yet, let's see what the situation is first. It's possible they're not here for us."

No sooner had Xu Xingwen spoken than the shouts of North Country soldiers came from outside, "Spies inside, you are surrounded. Come out and surrender immediately, or face death without mercy!"

With those words, all the guests who were still in the inn ran out. At that moment, the Shopkeeper rushed to Wenren Lie's side and asked, "My lord, what's happened?"

Mu Changtian said indifferently, "Some spies have infiltrated and we've discovered them. Quickly get everyone out. Once we start fighting, I'm afraid they'll be implicated."

"As for the inn, any damages will be fully compensated by the North Prince Mansion."

This...

The innkeeper was somewhat stunned. He had not expected spies to run to his inn, and although he was not sure whether the North Prince Mansion would indeed compensate him, under these circumstances, he could only cooperate and have everyone in the inn come out.

At this moment, Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen still hadn't moved; they still fancied that the soldiers outside might not be looking for them.

Just then, Xu Xingwen and Zhan Hong suddenly felt a strange force sweep through their bodies, causing great discomfort, though the force vanished very fast.

Xuanyuan Chaoge then said, "They are on the second floor. Move in!"

As he spoke, the soldiers in the street, holding grenades and fire guns, greeted the second floor of the inn.

Following the explosion of several iron balls in their room, Xu Xingwen and Zhan Hong realized that they had indeed been discovered.

Since they had been discovered, there was no point in hiding.

They both jumped straight out of the second floor. The North Country soldiers below immediately attacked them with fire guns, but the bullets only hit their Protective Gang Qi, to no effect.

At that moment, Zhan Hong's gaze instantly locked onto Wenren Lie and Mu Changtian. He could sense that these two were at the Master Realm, and their armor, so different from regular soldiers', along with the capes they wore, clearly indicated the attire of a General. Thus, he deduced that these two men must be Generals of the North Country army, and the very targets of their mission.

Zhan Hong immediately said to Xu Xingwen, "Old Xu, we're in luck, our targets have delivered themselves to us!"

Xu Xingwen also noticed the realm of Wenren Lie and Mu Changtian, and immediately said, "Let's finish them off fast!"

As soon as Xu Xingwen finished speaking, the two charged toward Wenren Lie and Mu Changtian. They completely failed to notice an old man beside Mu Changtian and Wenren Lie.

Celestials could easily conceal their presence, and to everyone else, Xuanyuan Chaoge seemed no different from an ordinary person. Thus, they had no idea that the decrepit old man beside their targets was a Celestial.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Xingwen and Zhan Hong appeared right next to Wenren Lie and Mu Changtian.

Their lips curved up slightly, thinking their mission was accomplished. With these two dead, Lingyun City would surely descend into chaos.

However, just as they were about to make their move, a mighty oppressive force suddenly descended. Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen felt as if a mountain weighed upon them, and although they struggled, they found they were completely immobilized.

At that moment, their Protective Gang Qi shattered like glass with a "crack," and before they even understood what was happening, Mu Changtian and Wenren Lie struck.

Mu Changtian drew his sword, beheading Xu Xingwen in one stroke, while Wenren Lie raised his hammer, smashing it onto Zhan Hong's head, causing brains to splatter instantly.

Two Grandmasters were thus easily dispatched by two Master Level Military Generals.

Of course, it was not solely their effort. The ease with which Mu Changtian and Wenren Lie disposed of Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen was entirely due to Xuanyuan Chaoge, the Celestial who had suppressed the power of Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen, shattering their Protective Gang Qi and temporarily leaving their bodies defenseless.

Without the help of Mu Changtian and Wenren Lie, they would not have stood a chance against the Grandmasters.

Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen had not anticipated a Celestial in Lingyun City. Had they known, they would have been much more cautious and not died so easily.

Although Celestials are powerful, they are not invincible. Suppressing two Grandmasters for just a few breaths had also exhausted a significant amount of spiritual power from Xuanyuan Chaoge. If not for the sudden turn of events, Xu Xingwen and Zhan Hong might have reacted in time to break free from Xuanyuan Chaoge's restraint.

However, in the world of masters, victory and defeat are often decided in an instant; it was in these few breaths that Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen lost their lives.

With these two Grandmasters gone, the rest of the Great Wu soldiers in the other inns were quickly dealt with by the North Country soldiers. The soldiers from Great Wu within the inn had at most Half-step Master strength and could not resist the power of firearms.

Seeing the corpses of Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen, two Grandmasters, Mu Changtian felt somewhat emotional.

These were Grandmasters...

Once considered as "strategic weapons" by various nations and pillars of the state, the Grandmasters had been killed by two Masters in the face of a Celestial.

The power of a Celestial is truly fearsome!
