Seven days after Wang Yanyu's departure, Flowing Moon City seemed to begin settling down. The impact caused by Xiaoyao was gradually no longer talked about by people. After some more time, perhaps everyone would forget about this person called Xiaoyao.

Luo Yuntian went to the Luo family's cultivation grounds for secluded training, that is, where the Luo family's true strong people were located. He had the qualifications to enter, as long as he worked hard to become stronger. Yun Qingyi also seemed to have returned to the Floating Cloud Sect with Yinping, because Luo Yuntian and she apparently had a big argument. No one knew exactly what they argued about, only knowing this result.

Regarding Yun Qingyi and her daughter going to the Floating Cloud Sect, the Luo family didn't have any particular feelings, it was just going to her maiden family. Occasionally they would go anyway, although Luo Yuntian never went.

Luo Yunqing just watched these matters. He was very pleased about Luo Yuntian going to cultivate. If the price hadn't been too high, he might have held a grand feast.

The current Luo Yunqing still felt regret. If Xiaoyao hadn't died, how wonderful this result would have been, everything was moving forward in the direction the Luo family wanted.

Of course, regret and sorrow aside, he still had to continue working and couldn't bring personal emotions into official business. When he was just the family head before, it was fine since it was just his own family's affairs. Now that he was king, he handled national affairs. For these matters, he had to maintain the clearest state and make the fairest and wisest decisions.

At this time, Luo Yunqing was conducting the morning court session in the royal palace, discussing a matter, when he heard some commotion outside. Just as he was about to ask what was happening, Luo Juntao hurriedly came in.

Luo Juntao was currently serving as palace guard. His coming meant there was a problem with the palace guards.

...

...

"What's the matter?" Luo Yunqing looked at Luo Juntao.

"Father, someone is attacking the royal palace. The people outside can't hold them off anymore..." Luo Juntao replied, his face showing not only nervousness but also a trace of strange expression.

"An attack? How many people? What kind of people are they?" Luo Yunqing asked.

"One person, a young lady..." Luo Juntao said.

"What?! A young lady?" Luo Yunqing was surprised, and others also expressed great astonishment. The people outside weren't the strongest, but they weren't weak either, and there was a Saint Level holding the line. How could they be broken through by a young lady?

Judging from the time, this seemed to have just started and wasn't too long. To be unable to hold off so quickly, just how strong was this young lady?

"Yes, and she looks only just over twenty, several years younger than me," Luo Juntao nodded. This was the reason for his strange expression, this matter seemed so incredible.

"Just over twenty? Impossible. If you all can't hold her off, then she's at least Saint Level already. This is something I've never heard of..." Luo Yunqing frowned. "Let's go take a look!!"

Just as Luo Yunqing finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared, heading toward where the battle was taking place. He could sense two Saint Levels fighting.

He could recognize the aura of one Saint Level, it was a Luo family member. The other was very unfamiliar. Could it be that young lady?

When Luo Yunqing flew over to look, he discovered a fact that shocked him. Even though Luo Juntao had told him about this young lady before, it still brought him deep shock.

This young lady possessed beauty that could topple kingdoms, making people daze upon seeing her. Even someone like Luo Yunqing was stunned for a moment. At the same time, she indeed looked only just over twenty, very young, but her strength was frightening, she was Saint Level, and not just Saint Level either.

To reach Saint Level at this age was already quite incredible. Throughout history, there were too few examples of people becoming Saint Level at such an age, perhaps not even a hundred total. And that was just barely entering Saint Level.

This young lady was not only Saint Level, her strength was actually higher than his own. Even if he couldn't compare to Yuntian, with his age, he wasn't mediocre either. His strength was at the critical point of Mid Saint Level, about to enter Late Saint Level.

Now this young lady was stronger than him, which meant she had already entered Late Saint Level. How incredible was this? No wonder they couldn't hold her off.

But now Luo Yunqing didn't understand, such a young lady should be someone only super powerful forces could cultivate. Which force had his Luo family offended? Could it be the Demon Sect?

No, this didn't seem like the Demon Sect. This young lady's aura had no demonic energy at all, and the sword techniques she used didn't feel like demonic path either.

Although all sword techniques aimed to kill, they had their own auras. Some gave people feelings of righteousness, some were rather sinister, and some were as if possessed by demons.

This young lady's sword techniques gave a very righteous feeling. The moves were exquisite, losing to such sword techniques would only make one convinced, not feeling wronged.

But what sword technique was this?

Luo Yunqing wanted to determine this young lady's background from her sword techniques, but he couldn't tell, because he had never seen these sword techniques before.

Just then, the sword in that young lady's hand suddenly flashed like a meteor, broke through her opponent's defense, and pointed directly at his throat, but didn't continue, this could be described in four words: showing mercy.

"Miss, I wonder where we have offended you?" Luo Yunqing came out to speak. Although he felt his strength was inferior to this young lady's, at least self-preservation shouldn't be a problem. He couldn't wait for others to arrive before speaking, that would weaken his momentum.

"You haven't!" The young lady withdrew her sword, looking at Luo Yunqing and answering. When she withdrew her sword, her opponent also retreated behind Luo Yunqing.

Luo Yunqing looked at the young lady somewhat surprised. He had thought of various answers the young lady might give, but he hadn't expected her to say they hadn't.

"If we haven't, then why did you injure our people?" Luo Yunqing pointed to the mess behind the young lady, all guards knocked down by her, groaning on the ground, but no one was in mortal danger.

"I wanted to come in. They stopped me, so I could only fight them and force my way in," the young lady looked at Luo Yunqing. "If you want to stop me too, I'll knock you down as well!"

"How dare you!"

"I'd like to see how you'll knock me down. If your family elders didn't teach you manners, let Third Master teach you!" At this time, Third Master appeared, standing in front of the young lady.

Third Master's strength was much greater than Luo Yunqing's. He was almost entering Peak Saint Level and should be able to step into God Level within ten years. Although he would be quite old by then, just being able to enter God Level would be very good.

It had to be said that aside from being a playboy, Third Master also had terrifying talent.

"Swoosh!"

That young lady thrust her sword at Third Master, a very simple thrust, but the sword speed was extremely fast, making Third Master somewhat unable to defend, barely avoiding it.

"Girl, how dare you sneak attack? Looks like I really need to teach you a lesson," Third Master said somewhat unhappily. Attacking without warning, how was this different from a sneak attack?

"Weren't you going to fight me?" the young lady asked with some confusion.

"..." Third Master fell silent.

"Then I'll start fighting now, okay?" the young lady looked at Third Master and asked.

"..."

"Come on!" Third Master beckoned. Although this young lady's way of speaking was somewhat irritating, he still had to show some courtesy, letting the young lady attack first before counterattacking.

"Slash!"

The young lady's sword slashed diagonally at Third Master. It still felt very simple. Third Master didn't even think and directly tried to break the move, but he found that the young lady's sword somehow changed and wasn't broken by him, still continuing to slash at him.

What kind of sword technique was this? Too strange! His move-breaking seemed completely useless, as if he hadn't attacked at all.

Third Master took a step back, avoiding this sword, then wanted to advance and counterattack, but he found the young lady's sword was already continuing with the next attack. He again tried to break it, but again found his move-breaking was useless, the young lady's sword seemed to pass through space, not blocked by him.

This time Third Master discovered some of the mystery. He found that the young lady's sword actually wasn't where he was trying to block, that was just an illusion. In that moment, the young lady's sword was already in the next position. It was because it was too fast that there was such a residual sword shadow.

Third Master could do this too, but the problem was he couldn't do it like this young lady. If he did it, the speed would be fast enough for people to notice, but this young lady's sword technique made it impossible to detect. Because on the surface, although her sword was fast, it wasn't fast to that degree. She had certain pauses in between, but combined with the afterimages, people couldn't detect it.

What kind of sword technique was this? To think there was such a sword technique, too wonderful!!

After discovering this, Third Master felt confident he could break the young lady's moves on the next attack. But to his surprise, the next move still wasn't broken. The young lady's technique became more complex, just now it was straightforward, but now it was beginning to have variations.

Incredibly, within these variations, she could still maintain that effect, making it impossible to detect that her sword had paused. Third Master immediately groaned inwardly. He found he could no longer regain the initiative. This young lady was too strong. After she seized the initiative, she wouldn't give others another chance, continuously pressuring opponents.

What made Third Master feel most pained was that he had given up this initiative himself. He had thought that as someone almost at Peak Saint Level, taking down a Late Saint Level little girl would be easy.

But now he discovered this matter wasn't easy, very difficult indeed!!
