The visitor handed a secret report to the steward in charge of information. Seeing the rank symbol on the report, the steward didn’t hesitate and rushed into the inner courtyard.
“I want to see the Young Master.” The visitor said to the two guards.
Shortly after he finished speaking, a guard emerged from the courtyard and waved to the guards at the door.
“Steward Qin, the Young Master invites you.”
When Steward Qin entered the room, he saw Feng Lihen standing before a painting. Upon hearing his arrival, Feng Lihen slowly turned around.
Steward Qin bowed and said, “Young Master, I have a secret report.”
He presented the report.
Feng Lihen’s seemingly leisurely movements revealed that in the blink of an eye, he had opened the report and examined its contents. After reading, the specially treated rice paper burned to ash in his hands.
“The King of All Monsters has appeared.” Feng Lihen whispered.
Steward Qin and Ying Yi, who stood behind Feng Lihen, both changed their expressions.
Feng Lihen said calmly, “Let’s depart for Linzhou Prefecture.”
Ying Yi whispered, “I’ll mobilize the forces right away.”
After Ying Yi left, Steward Qin asked, “Young Master, are you going with us?”
“Yes.”
For so many years, the four great families had searched for it, so long that they wondered if it were dead. Now that it had appeared, they could finally lift the burden that had weighed on them for millennia.
Steward Qin frowned slightly, clearly disapproving of his decision. After a moment’s hesitation, he spoke, “Young Master, your current health makes it difficult for you to leave the house.”
Although he kept silent, the core members all knew that the young master’s condition had worsened over the past six months. If he were to suffer a flare-up during the journey, his life would be in danger.
“No problem.”
“But…”
Feng Lihen raised his hand to stop him. He had a feeling his condition would improve soon.
Seeing his resolve, Steward Qin stopped trying to persuade him.
That day, countless figures flew out of the castle, heading in the same direction.

Linzhou Prefecture—
Bei Yutang and her companions set about setting up their rooms. By the time they were finished, the sun had already set. The three of them were ravenous, so Bei Yutang took the two children, one big and one small, to a street vendor for dinner.
Back home, the three of them were exhausted and fell asleep early.
Late at night, a deafening roar echoed from the forest outside the city.
Bei Yutang and Xiao Zimo, whose perception was stronger than that of ordinary people, were instantly awakened.
The two of them simultaneously left the room and walked out the courtyard gate.
Bei Yutang and Xiao Zimo jumped onto the rooftop and gazed eastward toward the city, where a faint glow of fire could be seen. Most people in the city were asleep, and no one had noticed the unusual movements in the suburbs.
“Mother, something seems to have happened over there.” Xiao Zimo felt his heart skip a beat, a slight unease rising.
“Yes.” Bei Yutang nodded.
Judging from the turbulent movements, the two forces involved were extraordinary, definitely beyond the reach of those of their level.
“Let’s go.”
Bei Yutang and Xiao Zimo jumped off the rooftop, and the two of them returned to their respective rooms.
The next day, when Daixiang woke up, she found that the adult and the child were already practicing martial arts in the courtyard. She was a little mesmerized by their identical movements.
When she came to her senses, she patted her head, turned, and went into the kitchen. She began to prepare breakfast for her two masters. These ingredients were bought yesterday and were all fresh.
