Even though Liu Bingzhong had already left home, he was an ambitious person. He had always thought of the rise and fall of the world as his own responsibility.

Today, seeing how Kublai had promised him, he knew that he had found the stage where he could learn. He said, "I am willing to serve Your Highness, but I have two requests."

"Teacher, feel free to say it. This King obeys all orders." Kublai said.

Liu Bingzhong replied, "Firstly, I am only willing to serve the Fourth Prince with my current status. Secondly, I will only be a strategist and not an official."

Listening to Liu Bingzhong's words, Kublai thought to himself: Han people have many rules, but on this point why should I respect them? If I want to achieve big things, why should I stick to small details? Besides, who can predict the future, maybe he will change his mind and become a senior official under me.

Thinking of this, he said, "I'll do as you say, Master."

He hadn't thought that he would have someone to support him on his very first day in Xing Prefecture. It was most likely something that Torrigo had never thought of when he had decided to leave Qin Lie here.

However, Kublai's happiness came a little too early. How could he know that from the moment he had set out, every single move of his had been monitored by the Shadow Legion?

At this moment, an old man dressed in Mongolian robes quietly entered the room. He said, "I've heard that Great Master Xu Guoliang is a high monk from the outside world. How come he's fawning on us?"

So this person was the Great Master Huo Wu.

Kubler Lie did not have a good impression of this man. Hearing this, he said, "The Imperial Advisor is very elusive, and I just arrived and you came with me, but you have wronged Master. He left the mountain at my request, not to curry favor with me."

Grand Imperial Advisor Huo Zhi ignored the words of Kublai and laughed mischievously. "Grand Master Xu, it has been several decades since we last met. I wonder if you've made any progress on the Vermillion Bird Art, I hope you can give me a few pointers today."

"In the past, Imperial Advisor was one of the few experts in the martial arts world. This old monk thought that you were already out of this world, but recently I heard that you were blessed with misfortune, and even trained in unrivaled divine arts. Now that you've become a Grand Imperial Advisor, you should be satisfied, why are you still so persistent?" Master Xu Guoliang said.

Great State Grandmaster Huo Zhi laughed and said, "I say, Great Master Xu Guoliang, you shouldn't be afraid. If that's the case, what qualifications do you have to have your own disciple to assist the Fourth Prince of Great Mongolia?"

"Originally, there was not a single thing, so how could there be dust? Regardless of whether one's martial arts were high or low, it doesn't matter what kind of things there are. It's all nothing more than the reflection of a flower in a mirror." Master Xu Guoliang advised.

Grandmaster Xu tried his best to persuade Huo Shi, but he didn't get a single word of it. Instead, he got a little angry.

He was extremely angry as he said, "Xu Guoliang, if you don't need to do that today, then you can. This Imperial Advisor will ask the grand concubine to seal your temple door and say that you deserve your reputation."

"Amitabha, since the Great Master is so aggressive, then this old monk will respectfully obey." Master Xu Guoliang said.

The Grand Scholar Huo Zhi said, "Grandmaster Xu Guoliang, you're right. Why are you behaving like a little mother? Why are you angering the Imperial Advisors? It would be great to have a good fight with them."

Seeing that his master had agreed to the request of the Great Master Huo Zhi, Liu Bingzhong walked up the mountain and said, "Master, please let this disciple take your place."

"Haha, little monk, don't think that just because the Fourth Prince has taken a liking to you that he is able to think that he is extraordinary. Just you alone aren't qualified to compete with this country's Imperial Advisor." Great Master Huo Zhi said arrogantly.

Grandmaster Dazzling Spring naturally knew of Grand Master Huo's power, so he pushed Liu Bingzhong to the side and said: "Grand Master Huo is a senior in the martial arts world today, it would be better if Master personally received him."

After he had finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the Imperial Advisor is a guest. Please come in."

Hearing Grandmaster Xu Guoliang's words, the Great State Grandmaster Huo Zhi was no longer polite. He exerted all his strength and executed his Nine Heavens Demonforce.

In the blink of an eye, the palm strike was like a mountain.

Master False Reflection's cultivation was the supreme skill of the buddhist faith. He emphasized agility and agility, just like a water lotus. Despite her raging winds and torrential rain, it only swayed slightly, not harming her core.

However, the Great Imperial Scholar's Ten Heavens Demon Art was only one level away from the highest realm. Moreover, he had recently figured out that using the Asura Yin Wind Art and the Nine Heavens Demon Art was the same, making it even more powerful.

The Great Master of Illusionary Flash was aware of the Nine Heavens Demonforce that Great Master Huo Shi had recently practiced.

As a result, he did not dare to be careless after using that skill. He used 100% of his inner force to welcome the incoming attack. As soon as the two strands of inner force came into contact with each other, they both shook.

In a contest between masters, once the inner force and the inner force intertwined, it was very difficult to separate them.

Although Grandmaster False Light's Hua Chi had blocked Huo Shi's attack, the opponent's inner force was like a tidal wave, ready to penetrate through his defenses at any time.

And what was even more dangerous was that the Imperial Advisor Huo Zhi's left hand secretly unleashed the poison mist from the Asura Yin Wind Art.

This time, Grandmaster Xu Zhe sensed the poisonous gas coming from the other party's inner force and felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly circulated the Real Qi in his Dantian, supporting his body so that he would not be injured by the poison.

When the Imperial Advisor Huo Wu saw how the two of them were able to block the attacks, he was taken aback. "This person is truly worthy of being called the host of this era's famous news."

Thus, he gritted his teeth and continued to channel his inner qi.

One had to know that Huo Shi was taking a huge risk. If the Great Illusionary Flash was able to withstand the attack, then he would probably be injured by the backlash of his poison skill.

The reason why he dared to do this was because he felt that under the pincer attack of his two divine arts, Grandmaster False Reflection's Orchid Water Art seemed to weaken a little.

Only the Imperial Advisors who were experienced in dealing with enemies would be able to detect this.

In fact, at this time, Grandmaster False Light's situation was even more serious than Great Master Huo Zhi had imagined. It was just that he had already entered the Transcending Mortality Stage during his years as a foreign minister, causing outsiders to be unable to recognize him.

Master Phantom Shadow thought to himself, in his heart he knew that if this went on, it would be very difficult for him to block the opponent's attack.

Suddenly, he thought of his newly mastered skill of using qi to form the sword.

He took the hit with his finger and pierced it into the Qi Sea.

Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that Grandmaster False Light would use such a strange skill at such a dangerous time.

Unable to defend himself in time, the Imperial Advisor Huo Zhi let out a loud shout and flew away.
