cup-clop, cup-clop, cup-clop.

The sound of hooves rang out.

In front of Jinhe Tower, a luxurious carriage stopped at the entrance.

“He’s here!”

“Master Qin, what a pleasant encounter!” Jin Tianfeng stepped into the elegant room with a smile on his face and greeted Qin Changqing with a bow.

“City Lord Jin.” Qin Changqing smiled and said, “I have long heard of your grace and elegance. It seems the rumors don’t do justice to meeting you in person.”

“Master Qin is too modest. Who in Yinxu Prefecture doesn’t know about your achievements? Your prestige far exceeds mine.” Jin Tianfeng said with a light smile. “It’s no wonder Master Dao chose such a fine disciple in the Lingxiao

Sect.”

The two exchanged insincere pleasantries before taking their seats.

The tea in Jinhe Tower was fragrantly enticing.

Jin Tianfeng took a sip of tea and glanced casually at Bai Liu, who was sitting next to Qin Changqing. “This lady is...”

“My wife.” Qin Changqing smiled, “You can’t possibly not recognize the number one beauty of Yinxu, can you, City Lord Jin?”

“Oh? Is it her? I must admit, I have been residing in the government headquarters for a long time and though I have heard of Miss Bai Liu’s reputation, I have never seen her with my own eyes. She truly deserves the title of the first beauty. Master Qin is indeed blessed.”

“Haha! Not at all, it’s because Liu’er took a fancy to me.”

Bai Liu chuckled lightly, sitting quietly next to Qin Changqing, looking extremely gentle and virtuous, which immediately put Jin Tianfeng at ease.

Regardless of whether this banquet was part of Qin Changqing’s scheme, even if it were, everyone inside and out of Jinhe Tower belonged to Jin Tianfeng. What could Qin Changqing use to compete with him?

With this thought, Jin Tianfeng’s tense nerves began to relax.

“I wonder, why has Master Qin invited me here?”

“Actually, it’s not a big deal.” Qin Changqing chuckled, “It’s just that I’ve been in Yinxu Prefecture for many years and have never met City Lord Jin. I’ve always regretted it... You won’t mind a small tribute from me, will you, City Lord Jin?”

“Master Qin, you are too humble. Anyone who comes to Yinxu Prefecture is my guest. Besides, with your abilities, isn’t it a breeze to become an elder?”

A small tribute officer?

Jin Tianfeng’s face stiffened.

Certain?

Had he misheard?

Normal people wouldn’t expose their thoughts so openly, would they?

Jin Tianfeng said solemnly, “Master Qin, you can’t speak carelessly about such matters. What evidence do you have to prove that it was me? Besides, if I were your enemy, why would I come here to meet you?”

Instead of answering, Qin Changqing raised his wine glass, “City Lord Jin, do you think there’s poison in this wine?”

Jin Tianfeng couldn’t help but laugh, “Why would I poison it? I’m above resorting to such petty tricks.”

He felt that Qin Changqing must be deliberately looking for trouble.

Using these words to provoke him, with such low-grade means.

“But I like to use them.” Qin Changqing grinned, “Chasing Life Powder, colorless and tasteless, even if a Golden Elixir cultivator consumes it, their spiritual qi will disperse and be at the mercy of others within two hours.”

Jin Tianfeng’s face changed slightly, then he sneered: “Master Qin, why use such petty means to scare people? I can’t speak for other places, but in Jinhe Tower, nothing you do escapes my eyes.”

“Really?” Qin Changqing’s eyes were narrowed while still looking at Jin Tianfeng.

Gradually...

Jin Tianfeng felt something was wrong.

He hurriedly mobilized his spiritual qi, but found that his Golden Elixir seemed to be blocked by an invisible force within his body. His spiritual qi could not flow into his meridians at all, and at the same time, he felt a weak sense of powerlessness throughout his body.

Finally, realizing that something was wrong, Jin Tianfeng suddenly shouted, “Han Zhi! Attack!”

However, after issuing the order, he did not receive any response.

Qin Changqing put down his wine glass calmly, wiped his hands with a towel, and said indifferently, “Don’t bother calling. That guy you mentioned should be quickly dealt with by Liu’er now.”

“You-” Jin Tianfeng’s pupils shrank, recalling Bai Liu’s earlier excuse to leave... “Impossible! She’s a Red Mill assassin, how could she possibly follow your orders!”

“Anything is possible, just like you never expected that this meal would be your last supper.” Qin Changqing stood up, his eyes cold, “I didn’t plan to make a move this early, but who told you to do something you shouldn’t have done? Think before you act, because once you do, there’s no turning back.”

A chill ran down Jin Tianfeng’s spine. He mustered all his strength to mobilize his spiritual qi while taking out a blood-colored elixir from his storage bag and swallowing it.

“Hmph, hmph...” As the elixir entered his stomach, Jin Tianfeng couldn’t help but grunt twice. At the same time, a faint blood-red aura appeared on the surface of his body. The effect of the elixir gradually suppressed the effects of Chasing Life Powder, allowing Jin Tianfeng’s Golden Elixir to break through the seal and surge into his meridians.

After all, he was a master at the Golden Elixir Peak. The effects of Chasing Life Powder on him would decrease rapidly with time, and Qin Changqing had already anticipated this. So when Jin Tianfeng took action, he also decisively made his move..
