Misleading the Young

At the city gates, hundreds of Profound Immortals had silently infiltrated the city without anyone noticing.

The guards, standing at the entrance of the city, stared wide-eyed at the front, completely unaware of the presence of these Profound Immortals.

Su Yanjin, however, remained motionless, quietly observing the scene.

At dawn, a fire broke out within the city.

"Something's wrong, something's happened! The intelligence office has been bombed."

Vice Continent Master Jiang Cheng reported to Continent Master Xiang Tiannan.

"What did you say? What exactly happened?"

Just returned from a mission on the front lines, Xiang Tiannan's face darkened instantly, his heart sinking.

"Continent Master, last night, hundreds of Profound Immortals infiltrated the main city and destroyed our intelligence office. The person in charge of liaising with the Great Sun Immortal Continent has also been killed."

"Although those Profound Immortals have been captured, our connections with the operatives we had placed within the Great Sun Immortal Continent have been completely severed."

Jiang Cheng detailed the entire incident to Xiang Tiannan.

"Damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tiannan erupted in fury, slamming his palm onto the nearby black ironwood tea table, which shattered instantly!

With the intelligence office destroyed, half the battle against the Great Sun Immortal Continent had already been lost.

"Why? Previously, those hundreds of Profound Immortals were intercepted. But this time, not only did they infiltrate the city, but they also destroyed our intelligence office?"

"Since that expert intervened once before, why did they allow these Profound Immortals to enter this time?"

Calming down, Xiang Tiannan furrowed his brows, his face filled with confusion.

"This..."

Jiang Cheng also shook his head, equally unsure of the intentions of this expert.

"Investigate, we must accelerate the investigation of this matter."

"This time it was the intelligence office, next time it could be anywhere. We must find this expert to help us."

Xiang Tiannan issued the order sternly.

"Understood."

Jiang Cheng accepted the command and then left.

Three days passed quickly.

In the prison, Su Yanjin was released.

"Little brother, I've already informed the tavern, you can go straight there."

The veteran soldier, opening Su Yanjin's cell door, said with a casual smile.

It was just past the end of his shift, and Su Yanjin nodded, "Oh," before heading straight to the tavern.

Arriving at the tavern, Su Yanjin sat down at the second table by the window as usual.

After finishing his meal and wine, he glanced at the sky, realizing it was already time for his shift.

He put on his armor and headed towards the city gates.

Just then, a cry for help suddenly echoed from the corner ahead.

"Help! Help me!"

"I don't know you, what are you doing?"

The voice belonged to a woman, filled with terror, clearly facing a dire situation.

Su Yanjin remained expressionless as he approached the corner, where he saw...

Several Golden Immortal middle-stage men, their faces twisted with malice, were surrounding and attacking a young woman dressed in a gown with yellow ribbons.

The woman, her face filled with fear, trembled inside a defensive artifact.

She was Mu Qianqian, the daughter of the Mu family.

The burly Golden Immortal men relentlessly pounded on the defensive artifact's barrier.

Crack!

The barrier of the artifact was already showing tiny cracks.

With each attack from the men, the cracks continued to expand, and it wouldn't be long before the barrier was shattered.

"Hmph, everyone from the Mu family deserves to die. Since we can't kill your father, we'll kill you instead, and let that old man regret for the rest of his life."

One of the Golden Immortals sneered, increasing the force of his attacks.

Hearing this, the woman's face turned pale, her clear eyes filled with despair.

In an instant, she realized that these Golden Immortals were enemies of her father.

This was a death trap.

From a distance, Su Yanjin quietly watched, still not making a move.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, the defensive barrier shattered under the fierce attacks of the three Golden Immortals.

The three Golden Immortals' faces lit up with joy as they unleashed three powerful palm strikes towards Mu Qianqian.

Mu Qianqian, in despair, closed her eyes.

She was only a Heavenly Immortal, and one Golden Immortal could kill her, let alone three?

"Am I really going to die like this?"

Mu Qianqian bitterly smiled in her heart, already preparing for the end.
