Despite suspecting that Fengxing County's son is at the realm of a Great Grandmaster, Wei Buping is also at the level of a Great Grandmaster, naturally fearing no one from Fengxing County.

He even has the confidence... that he can suppress him!

Xingyun Earl glanced at his son, pondered for a moment, and said, "Go directly to Celestial Cloud City. If Fengxing County's son truly possesses the skills of a Great Grandmaster, then I'm afraid that fellow in Iron Cloud City cannot hold his ground!"

"By the time you arrive, the opponent may have already breached Iron Cloud City."

Wei Buping was taken aback, but he nodded in agreement with Xingyun Earl's arrangement, then hurriedly departed.

Seeing this, Wei Ming couldn't help but smile and said, "With elder brother taking action, the Fengxing County's son... probably has only a dead end!"

A look of pride appeared on Wei Ming's face.

Wei Ming had great trust in his elder brother.

…

Celestial Cloud City.

Lu Sheng's figure slowly appeared, standing in mid-air.

If anyone saw Lu Sheng, they would know that flying in the air is a technique only Great Grandmasters are capable of mastering.

Although in the Martial Artist System, a fourth-tier can fly, the Martial Artist System in the Martial Arts Realm and the Human Federation differ somewhat.

Under such circumstances, one must cultivate to the fifth-tier Great Grandmaster level to achieve flying.

Lu Sheng stood several kilometers away from Celestial Cloud City in the wilderness, gazing at the vast city ahead, his expression appearing incomparably serene.

"The second city. Once Celestial Cloud City is conquered, and the final city is breached, we can reach Xingyun County directly!"

As he spoke, a hint of laughter twinkled in Lu Sheng's eyes.

It must be said, this pacification indeed brought significant gains for Lu Sheng.

Those counties that Lu Sheng conquered, even the previous Iron Cloud City, the cultivation resources of the noble houses, were all taken by Lu Sheng and placed into his Profound Ring.

If Xingyun County is wiped out, the gathered resources would be sufficient to allow Lu Sheng to break through to the Venerable Realm.

Using the place for physical training, Lu Sheng might even advance beyond the Venerable Realm and may have a chance to reach Martial Saint!

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng's smile became even more profound.

"Let's hurry!"

"I don't have much time to waste!"

Lu Sheng muttered softly as he strode forth, rushing towards the location of Celestial Cloud City.

As Lu Sheng arrived at Celestial Cloud City, a cheerful voice echoed from the city walls.

"Sir... you must be Fengxing County's son!"

Listening to the cheerful voice, Lu Sheng slowly raised his head, gazing towards the position on the city wall.

He immediately saw a middle-aged man in luxurious attire standing on the city wall, projecting a strong aura with his every move.

Clearly, he was a mid-tier Great Grandmaster.

Lu Sheng looked at the newcomer calmly and said indifferently, "So it's the eldest son from Xingyun Earl's household."

"Thus, is there no one at Xingyun Earl's residence? They actually need you, the eldest son, to take action!"

Originally with a hint of smile on his face, Wei Buping's countenance turned gloomy upon Lu Sheng's words.

"Luo Cheng!!"

Wei Buping shouted.

"What are you? And yet you think you can meddle in Xingyun Earl's affairs? Do you think obtaining the imperial decree allows you to trample over Xingyun Earl's dead body to climb?"

"I'm telling you, you are completely wrong!"

"You're nothing but a knife in their hands, merely a dog in their eyes!"

Wei Buping rebuked angrily.

"You think receiving the imperial decree entitles you to effortlessly become an Earl? You're dreaming. Many covet the Earl's seat, and even if you destroy Xingyun Earl, you still won't secure that position!"

"How about… you and I join forces, after all, our Xingyun Earl has already stood against the court, let's unite against it!"

"With assistance from two other empires, even if the court intends to eliminate us, it must consider too much and won't dare to dispatch experts to wipe us out, what do you say?"

Wei Buping's voice was filled with persuasive power.

Listening to Wei Buping's words, Lu Sheng smiled faintly.

How could he not see that Mo Tianji's cooperation with him was manipulation from the beginning?

It's just that...

Lu Sheng used Mo Tianji's attempt to exploit him, only to exploit the others instead.

In such circumstances, he leveraged the court's authority against Xingyun Earl, thus securing the physical training ground for himself, which was what Lu Sheng truly desired.

As for whether he could eventually become an Earl or obtain other rewards, Lu Sheng didn't care at all.

What Lu Sheng needed... was merely Xingyun Earl's cultivation resources and the place for physical training.

And if the court eventually decides to dismantle the bridge after crossing it and seize the physical training ground... Lu Sheng certainly will not comply.

But for now...

Lu Sheng raised his head, looking at Wei Buping, his eyes filled solely with an endless, chilling gaze.

"You think... you are qualified to negotiate with me!"

Those words unquestionably offended Wei Buping's bottom line, igniting fury within him.

"Luo Cheng! You're insolent!!"

Wei Buping shouted angrily, his mid-tier Great Grandmaster cultivation erupted instantly, wielding his battle knife fiercely towards Lu Sheng.

The terrifying physical power converged within the battle knife, instantly slashing out a terrifying sharp edge, descending upon Lu Sheng.

Yet, facing Wei Buping's daunting assault, Lu Sheng's eyes remained calm, seemingly unmoved.

Only to see Lu Sheng take a step forward, and lightly flick his finger.

A torrent of energy immediately burst forth.

With an extremely fast speed, it landed beneath the blade's edge.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, Lu Sheng instantly obliterated the torrent of energy with a flick of his finger.

"How is it possible!!"

Wei Buping watched the scene, his pupils slightly contracting.

One must know, he is a mid-tier Great Grandmaster, and with a full-force strike he could kill those of the same realm; even late-tier Great Grandmasters should be wary.

But facing Lu Sheng... his attack was easily neutralized by him.

Instantly, a look of disbelief emerged in Wei Buping's eyes.
