The next morning was bright and sunny.
Dongfang Mingyue sat in her office, reviewing documents.
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded. She immediately put down the files and walked to the window to look outside.
In the next moment, Dongfang Mingyue's expression turned icy.
Someone was forcefully breaking into the Yin Group!
They were a group of men in black, their chests embroidered with the pattern of a divine dragon.
Among them, one face was extremely familiar to her; it was Long Yi, who had come the previous day.
Imperial Dragon Manor?
They truly wouldn't let this matter rest!
With this thought, Dongfang Mingyue immediately summoned Feifei and instructed her to notify Ye Cangtian.
Following that, Dongfang Mingyue left the room without delay to intercept them. She could not allow them to act with impunity!
...
On the first floor, in the mission hall.
Those who had come to accept missions had already dispersed. The remaining few staff members were trembling in fear in the corners.
Only some guards stubbornly stood in front of the men from the Imperial Dragon Manor.
"Long Yi, was what I said yesterday not clear enough?"
"You are still causing trouble, are you planning to forcibly snatch the Four Great Seals?"
"Do you truly think the Yin Group has no one?"
Just then, Dongfang Mingyue slowly walked to the forefront, her gaze fixed on Long Yi as she spoke coldly.
"Dongfang Mingyue, allow me to introduce you. This is my master, Sikong Longyin!"
"My master is here today to settle the score for the humiliation I suffered yesterday!"
Long Yi looked at Dongfang Mingyue, introduced himself briefly, and stated their purpose.
At this moment, his face was filled with the smug smile of a petty person who had achieved their aim.
Dongfang Mingyue heard this and let out a soft snort. "Long Yi, the lesson you received yesterday was entirely your own fault; you have no one to blame..."
"Enough with the nonsense. Call Ye Cangtian out!"
"I am here to demand an explanation. Anyone else who doesn't want to court disaster should get out of the way!"
Before Dongfang Mingyue could finish, Sikong Longyin directly interrupted her.
"You!"
Dongfang Mingyue's face instantly turned grim. After all, she was in charge of the Yin Group, and very few people dared to speak to her like this!
Moreover, he was doing it in front of everyone, which truly put her in a difficult position.
In the next moment, Dongfang Mingyue spoke coldly, "Sikong Longyin, you had better stop while you're ahead. Don't forget this is the Yin Group. If you anger me, I won't indulge you!"
"Just you?"
"Show me, how will you not indulge me?"
Sikong Longyin glanced at Dongfang Mingyue with a face full of disdain. At the same time, his aura emanated from him.
In his eyes, everyone below the Heavenly level was an ant. And among the Heavenly level powerhouses of the Yin Group, Dongfang Mingyue was not present.
Therefore, even if she was an administrator of the Yin Group, in his eyes, she was just another ant.
"This..."
Feeling Sikong Longyin's aura, Dongfang Mingyue's brows furrowed deeply.
The aura emanating from the other party had reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven, which meant he was at the Great Perfection realm.
As for herself, after unremitting efforts, she had only managed to reach the Eighth Heaven realm.
Let alone Great Perfection, she was still quite a distance from even the Ninth Heaven.
If the two were to clash, there was an eighty percent chance she would be defeated.
Although she was very wary of Sikong Longyin in her heart, Dongfang Mingyue still drew her Golden Light Sword and stood out resolutely.
Even though there was a significant gap in their cultivation, Dongfang Mingyue believed she was not without a chance of winning.
Firstly, the Golden Light Sword in her hand was obtained by Ye Cangtian from the central hall of Chaos City, making it an absolute divine weapon.
Secondly, Ye Cangtian had also passed down the supreme skill of the Chaos Lord, the Chaos Seven Kill Sword, to her.
this technique, let alone in the present, even in ancient times, it would absolutely be considered a divine skill among divine skills.
Therefore, she believed that in terms of technique and weaponry, she definitely held the advantage, thus giving her a fighting chance!
"Hmph, truly ungrateful!"
"Since that's the case, I shall give you a good lesson!"
Seeing the long sword in Dongfang Mingyue's hand, Sikong Longyin snorted coldly, but at the same time, his expression became serious.
He could feel the pressure emanating from the Golden Light Sword; this was definitely not an ordinary weapon.
As he spoke, Sikong Longyin gave a signal to Long Yi and the others, indicating for them to retreat to the side first.
*Clang!*
A faint sound echoed. Sikong Longyin's long sword, accompanied by a soft dragon's roar, was also drawn from its sheath.
In the next moment, he glanced at the other party and said calmly, "The Flowing Dragon Sword was obtained by me in a secret realm. Please enlighten me!"
"Golden Light Sword!"
Hearing that faint dragon's roar and seeing the long sword in the other party's hand emitting a faint green light, Dongfang Mingyue's brows tightened.
It seemed winning would not be easy...
Murmuring to herself, Dongfang Mingyue's figure instantly flashed forward.
"Well come!"
Seeing Dongfang Mingyue attack, Sikong Longyin let out a loud shout and immediately met her.
In mere moments, the hall was filled with the sounds of clashing weapons.
...
At the same time, in the Clear Breeze Hall of the Yin Group.
Ye Cangtian was in the midst of cultivation when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps.
When he opened his eyes, a familiar figure had already entered the great hall.
"Lord Ye, something's wrong! That Long Yi has returned!"
"He brought quite a few people this time and broke in directly, injuring many people."
"Lord Mingyue has already rushed over. She asked me to inform you to hurry over..."
Listening to Feifei's breathless words, Ye Cangtian's expression turned cold. Without responding, his figure flashed out of the great hall.
When he arrived at the mission hall, Dongfang Mingyue and Sikong Longyin were still engaged in a fierce close-quarters battle, each trading blows intensely.
Overall, it was a four-six split.
Dongfang Mingyue was at a slight disadvantage, being suppressed.
The reason was that Dongfang Mingyue's offense was of an explosive type, wide and powerful, while the opponent's offense was agile, finding every opening.
However, even though Dongfang Mingyue suffered some losses, she did not panic.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian felt relieved and refrained from intervening.
The reason was simple: only by continuously challenging stronger opponents could one constantly stimulate their potential and improve their cultivation.
And in Ye Cangtian's eyes, Dongfang Mingyue's talent was not bad, but her cultivation had improved slowly.
If one were to find the reason for this, it was inseparable from Dongfang Mingyue's management of the Yin Group.
Managing the Yin Group had already taken up a lot of Dongfang Mingyue's energy.
Moreover, unlike him, she did not engage in frequent battles. If it weren't for this, how could her cultivation have been surpassed by him?
And this time, Sikong Longyin's arrival was perfectly timed.
It could not only bring sufficient pressure to Dongfang Mingyue but also continuously stimulate her potential, making him a perfect whetstone.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian did not intervene but chose to observe the situation.
On the other side, after a prolonged period of close combat, neither of them could overcome the other, and they instinctively created distance.
In the next moment, the long sword in Dongfang Mingyue's hand began to spin in front of her. As she swung it, the sword became increasingly bright, and its momentum continued to grow.
This was the first stance of the Chaos Seven Kill Sword, Wangchuan!
Sikong Longyin also unleashed his killing move, and the Flowing Dragon Sword was swung as well.
As the sword moved, waves of dragon roars could be heard.
Gradually, a faint, illusory dragon formed in front of him, coiling around the sword, on the verge of emerging.
Flowing Dragon's Roar was precisely the first stance of the Flowing Dragon Sword technique.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this scene, Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed deeply.
This Sikong Longyin was even more formidable than he had imagined.
He had initially thought the other party was at the Great Perfection realm, but now, seeing him display the Flowing Dragon Sword technique, he realized he had underestimated him.
The other party's cultivation had essentially taken one step towards breaking through the Heavenly level barrier.
Otherwise, his killing move could not have formed the illusory flowing dragon, nor could it be on the verge of emergence.
In other words, once this flowing dragon could break free from the restraint of the sword, it would prove that the other party's spiritual energy could erupt from his body, and he would have officially stepped into the Heavenly realm.
As expected of the strongest senior disciple of the manor, he had already reached such a realm.
Ye Cangtian murmured to himself, it was said that Sikong Longyin was more powerful than Lei Ming.
But he had only thought that this power was limited, at most the level of an Eighth Heaven expert.
But now, he realized he was wrong.
"Kill!"
Just as Ye Cangtian was lost in thought, Dongfang Mingyue uttered a powerful killing intent.
Following that, her sword moved like a rainbow, charging towards Sikong Longyin.
