"Are you both Grandmasters?"

Qinglong and Vermilion Bird were quite surprised.

The aura of Ghost Shadow and Frost Enchantress was indeed at the Grandmaster level, yet their presence was chilling, like that of the dead.

"Wang Ruyan, you've hidden yourself well, having Grandmaster-level martial artists to protect you?" Jun Wuhui was somewhat surprised.

He then looked at Ghost Shadow and Frost Enchantress, saying in a deep voice, "As long as you agree to follow me, no matter what conditions Wang Ruyan offers you, I'll triple it!"

"Whoosh!"

Ghost Shadow and Frost Enchantress didn't respond, they acted directly, moving like fierce tigers, lunging at Qinglong and Vermilion Bird, each throwing a punch aimed at them.

"Courting death!"

Qinglong sneered, his bones crackling, and in that instant, his internal energy surged as he punched at Ghost Shadow.

The punch went right through Ghost Shadow's body, hitting nothing but air.

"What?" A hint of surprise flashed in Qinglong's eyes.

"Not good!"

He quickly turned around, only to find Ghost Shadow appearing like a ghost behind him, delivering a punch.

Qinglong turned his head, and the punch landed squarely on his chest with a crisp crack, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Step, step, step, step!"

Qinglong retreated seven or eight steps in one breath, his expression grave as he said, "Like a shadow following the form, what is your relationship with the Old Devil of Shu?"

"Lord Qinglong."

Jun Wuhui's brow twitched, unable to believe that Qinglong had actually lost.

On the other side, Frost Enchantress was overwhelmingly powerful, her speed precise and ruthless, forcing Vermilion Bird to retreat step by step.

"Such strong techniques, with your strength, why not join Dragon Nation and serve the country?"

Vermilion Bird looked at the two, advising, "With your abilities, if you join the military, you could be directly appointed as generals."

"Not interested," Frost Enchantress replied coldly.

"Scram!"

Ghost Shadow spat out a single word.

"You!"

Qinglong's face turned ashen, exchanging a glance with Vermilion Bird, knowing they couldn't take Wang Ruyan today. With a hateful snort, they turned and left the Dihao Hotel.

Jun Wuhui, face darkened, left in a hurry after leaving a harsh remark.

Ghost Shadow and Frost Enchantress turned and left, disappearing from the hall.

After Jun Wuhui chased out, Qinglong and Vermilion Bird were already in the car. When Jun Wuhui got in, he noticed both of their faces were pale, as if they had internal injuries.

"Uncle Qinglong, Sister Vermilion Bird, are you hurt?" Jun Wuhui was startled, somewhat surprised.

"In a battle between Grandmaster-level martial artists, victory or defeat can be decided in an instant. We lost just now," Qinglong exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"That person's movement technique is very strange, likely a disciple of the Old Devil of Shu. Is he... still alive?" Vermilion Bird's expression was extremely serious.

"Old Devil of Shu, who is that?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Jun Wuhui's eyes.

Qinglong and Vermilion Bird exchanged a glance, both falling into a moment of silence.

After a while, Qinglong finally spoke, "He's a terrifying existence, elusive and mysterious. Fifty years ago, he stirred up chaos in Dragon Nation, offending many big figures. Dragon Nation even mobilized 300,000 troops into the Mountains of Shu but couldn't find him."

"What? 300,000 troops couldn't find one person?"

Jun Wuhui gasped, unable to maintain his composure.

300,000 troops!

That's 300,000 troops.

"We must report to the War God immediately. Wang Ruyan might be connected to the Old Devil of Shu," Qinglong frowned.

Vermilion Bird said solemnly, "The Old Devil of Shu hasn't appeared for fifty years, everyone thought he was dead. Now suddenly two Grandmasters have emerged, it seems they're trained by him. Wang Ruyan just returned from Kunlun Mountain over a year ago, could it be... the Old Devil of Shu is at Kunlun Mountain?"

"Stop speculating, report to the War God immediately."

Qinglong shook his head, closed his eyes, and began meditating to heal.

Jun Wuhui frowned, realizing this matter was not simple.

He hadn't expected that a seemingly insignificant Wang Ruyan would have such a significant background.

'Looks like I need to inform him, the woman he likes isn't so easy to win over.'

Jun Wuhui thought to himself, then a faint smile appeared on his face as he mused, 'However, with his status, winning over Wang Ruyan shouldn't be too much of a problem. A rose with thorns, quite tricky indeed.'

"Senior Sister is formidable!"

After Jun Wuhui and the others left, Ye Beichen came out with a smile, giving a thumbs up.

The coldness on Wang Ruyan's pretty face disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile. She walked up to Ye Beichen, took out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile, "Look at you, you didn't even wipe the oil off your mouth."

"I was worried about you, Senior Sister," Ye Beichen said with a smile.

"You saw everything?" Wang Ruyan asked.

"I did, the two followers of the Ninety-Six Master, you actually brought them down the mountain," Ye Beichen nodded.

Wang Ruyan sighed, "Ah, if only I had your martial prowess, I wouldn't need them. You're really impressive, inheriting the Ninety-Six Master's teachings, probably even more formidable than Ghost Shadow and Frost Enchantress."

"Uh, I don't know," Ye Beichen replied.

Wang Ruyan's eyes sparkled as she kept observing Ye Beichen.

This junior brother had shown astonishing talent back on Kunlun Mountain.

The Ninety-Nine Masters in the mountain all wanted to take Ye Beichen as their disciple. In the end, none could convince the others, so all Ninety-Nine Masters taught him together, leading to Ye Beichen's extraordinary achievements today.

'This junior brother, just how advanced is his martial arts attainment?' Wang Ruyan wondered, her beautiful eyes flickering with curiosity.

"Junior Brother, what level are you at now?" Wang Ruyan asked.

"Senior Sister, I don't know."

"Have you reached the Great Grandmaster Realm?"

"I really don't know, I've never encountered a Great Grandmaster."

"Earlier, if you had gone all out against Qinglong and Vermilion Bird, how many moves would it take to defeat them?" Wang Ruyan asked curiously.

Ye Beichen pondered seriously for a moment before replying:

"Both of them are average in strength. If I went all out..."

"Well... probably, I could kill them with one punch."

"Poof!"

Wang Ruyan staggered, almost falling to the ground.

"Senior Sister!"

Ye Beichen quickly supported her, asking with concern, "Are you okay, Senior Sister?"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Wang Ruyan's eyes were filled with shock, "Junior Brother, are you sure? These are the top experts of the Southeastern Provincial Military District."

"Qinglong, Lieutenant General, Martial Grandmaster."

"Vermilion Bird, Major General, Martial Grandmaster."

"You can kill them with one punch?"

"Yes," Ye Beichen replied matter-of-factly.

Wang Ruyan's eyes were filled with surprise and delight, which eventually turned into a deep affection as she teased:

"You really are a monster!"

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—!"

At that moment, Wang Ruyan's phone rang, an incoming call.

She pressed the answer button, her expression changing unpredictably, "What? At home..."

"Okay, I'll be right back."
