Jinshan Temple.

At this moment, Abbot Xuankong suddenly made a move, startling Wu Gang who instinctively drew the long knife from his waist and stood in front of Ye An.

“Senior Brother!”

Xuan Nan was also clueless, but he breathed a sigh of relief the next moment, as Xuankong didn’t even glance at Ye An and went directly towards the northwest direction.

Seeing Xuankong leaving, Wu Gang finally took a deep breath, realizing that his back was covered in cold sweat.

If Xuankong really intended to attack the Prince, he wouldn’t be able to block it. Even if the Dragon Suppression Guard was nearby, it would be of no use.

Ye An’s cultivation level was not high, so he did not realize the danger they were in just now. He was actually immersed in the joy of Xuankong’s unfathomable cultivation.

“Let’s follow!”

“All? Your Highness, this is not quite appropriate…”

Just as Wu Gang wanted to stop Ye An from entering the perilous situation, the sound of horseshoes rang out. Wu Gang looked back and couldn’t help but feel relieved.

It seemed that it was not the worst-case scenario he had imagined, as the Chen Team had safely returned, indicating that they had not encountered danger on the way.

Wu Gang breathed a little easier when someone from the Chen Team dismounted, knelt on one knee, and bowed with clenched fists.

“Reporting to the Captain, there is a huge pit to the northwest, with broken rocks and trees. Apart from this, there is no sign of anything unusual.”

Hearing this, Ye An couldn’t stay put any longer as there was no danger.

“Captain Wu, by my order, follow up.”

“Yes!”

At this time, Wu Gang no longer tried to persuade Ye An. However, he gave Xuan Nan and the other high monks a meaningful glance and Xuan Nan immediately understood Wu Gang’s intention.

“Your Highness, how about all of us go and take a look together? What do you think?”

Ye An would naturally not refuse Xuan Nan’s kindness. His goal in coming to Jinzhou City was the high monks of Jinshan Temple. Besides, there was now the unexpected surprise of the Abbot?

“Chief, if you want to go, it’s certainly fine.” Ye An didn’t hesitate and turned to Wu Gang, “Captain Wu, please lead the Dragon Suppression Guard to clear the path.”

“Yes”

Then, they surrounded Ye An and followed the Dragon Suppression Guard towards the northwest direction in a grand manner. At this moment, Liang Ying, who was following behind, had a flickering gaze.

Now, he couldn’t help but feel some regret. Jinshan Temple was even stronger than he had imagined. Who could have known that the never-before-seen Abbot of Jinshan Temple would have such terrifying cultivation?

However, it’s not too late to know now. In addition, Jinshan Temple has been quite responsive to his requests over the years, so it’s not impossible to further deepen their cooperation.

Thinking of this, his heart grew hotter. The thought of several Xuan Generation High Monks in Jinshan Temple being at the Postnatal Nine-Realm, and with the help of an expert like the Abbot, would he also have the opportunity to advance further?

No one paid attention to what Liang Ying was thinking at this moment, while the Dragon Suppression Guard was extremely vigilant and cautious along the way. In no time, they arrived at the huge pit that the Chen Team had mentioned.

At this moment, seeing the mess in front of them and the twisted trees, even Ye An with his low cultivation was deeply shocked.

Wu Gang and the others, who had profound cultivation, were even more shocked. They never thought that there would be such powerful experts hidden in small Jinzhou City.

Two of them!

Wu Gang couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. These nameless and Jinshan Temple masters, even in the Capital, were not to be easily offended, as they were considered heroes.

After all, that was Half-step Innate!

Innate Nation Protectors have never been a joke. So, a Half-step Innate is also considered a Half-step Nation Protector existence. Who would dare to offend them easily?

He couldn’t help but glance at Ye An from the corner of his eye and sigh. The Prince was indeed well-prepared when he came from the Capital.

After this, the Prince of Ping’an’s Mansion would probably face another upheaval. However, all of this depended on whether the Prince could win over Jinshan Temple first.

At this moment, Ye An was indeed thinking as Wu Gang had guessed, so although he was shocked by the destruction here, he still focused on finding Xuankong.

Xuankong was not far from the huge pit, in front of a collapsed mountain stone, his expression extremely serious at this moment.

It seemed that this nameless expert was in closed-door cultivation here, and had just broken through not long ago, which meant that the traces of his breakthrough still remained on his body.

Thinking of this, Xuankong didn’t hesitate at all, once again tapping his toes, determined a direction, and leaped away from this place in one bound.

Ye An wanted to shout a greeting but saw this and hurriedly urged Wu Gang to catch up. However, they could only give up their pursuit after not much time.

That’s because they simply couldn’t catch up with Xuankong, and they could only watch as Xuankong disappeared from their sight.

Seeing this, Ye An naturally felt unwilling in his heart and wanted to continue pursuing, after all, his coming to Jinzhou City was a helpless move, and at this moment, he felt like he was grasping at the last straw, how could he not hold on tightly?

Wu Gang didn’t dare to say much at this time, so he could only quietly give another signal to Xuannan, who didn’t want to continue pursuing at this time either.

Firstly, they definitely couldn’t catch up no matter what; secondly, their abbot elder brother must have his reasons, so it’s better not to disturb him and avoid messing up his plan.

So, after receiving Wu Gang’s eye signal, he immediately stepped forward, put his hands together, and recited a Buddhist chant.

“Son of the Crown Prince, it’s already late now, let’s go back to the temple first, I think the abbot elder brother will naturally come back when he finishes his business.”

Hearing this, Ye An could only sigh in his heart. After the look of disappointment on his face receded, he smiled and said, “Since the chief master said so, then I will listen to the chief, Captain Wu, let’s go back.” “Yes! Dragon Suppression Guard, heed my command, return to base!”

Wu Gang was overjoyed, for now, he didn’t have to waste his efforts, and then the group headed back to Jinshan Temple in a mighty manner once again.

In the forest.

Liang Sheng was in high spirits, as he had broken through the half-step innate realm, not just in Jinzhou City, but even throughout the whole Dayan Dynasty, as long as he didn’t court death, he was free to roam the world.

At this moment, postnatal nine-realm experts no longer posed any threat to him, but this also made him feel great awe for innate experts.

If he was already so powerful in the half-step innate realm, what about the existence of innate national protectors?

Moreover, he wondered how strong the founding emperor of the Dayan Dynasty was to be able to eradicate the Seven Great Sects, as they were martial saint lands with innate masters, and there were seven of them!

Because of this, he was also wary of the Dayan Dynasty, fearing that it had its trump card by now, but he didn’t need to belittle himself either. With his current strength, as long as he didn’t meddle in affairs, he could be carefree.

So after leaving the retreat, he was quite leisurely when descending the mountain, even encountering a group of hunters. The hunters saw him and took the initiative to ask which village he was from and whether he had encountered a fierce beast, which was why he had returned empty-handed.

Liang Sheng was momentarily stunned, then realizing the reason, looking at his dirty clothes.

Didn’t his appearance resemble that of a hunter who hadn’t returned from the forest for several days?

He was about to answer when a figure raced past him from behind, and Liang Sheng’s face changed involuntarily.

Half-step innate.

If it wasn’t Xuankong, who else could it be?

However, Xuankong only glanced at Liang Sheng and the others, without any pause, continuing to head down the mountain, moving towards the officials’ road at the foot of the mountain, and he never noticed any suspicious people.

Xuankong’s face couldn’t help turning ugly, but he had no choice but to return since searching any further would be in vain.

However, the anonymous expert that made him uneasy was too close to the Jinshan Temple for his liking. If the expert had hostile intentions towards the temple, it could be a big problem.

But how could Xuankong imagine that the person he was looking for was actually among the hunters he had just seen, and he wouldn’t think that Liang Sheng, thanks to the existence of the attribute panel, had no trace of Qi left within.

Xuankong eventually returned empty-handed, only to find that the lights in the great hall of Jinshan Temple were brightly lit, and Ye An had been waiting for him all the time.

Seeing Xuankong, Ye An’s expression was extremely surprised and delighted, and his attitude was extremely humble.

“I am Prince Ye An, greetings to the Master!”
