Nation and Jiang Ming usually had no interactions. However, in recent days, Nation generously gifted Jiang Ming a little beauty. The little beauty was as cute as a porcelain doll, but she had not fully developed and did not fit Nation's type, so he casually gave her to Jiang Ming. Thus, Jiang Ming insisted on thanking Nation. 0
 
Four days later, Nation arrived at Jiang Ming's palace, accompanied by Tenth Prince and Jiang Tianlan. 0
 
When the Celestial Wine was opened, both Nation and Jiang Tianlan were stunned. Could there really be such fine wine? Was this truly the legendary Celestial Wine? This wine was indeed hard to come by. 0
 
Nation and Jiang Tianlan praised Jiang Ming, exclaiming how delightful it was. 0
 
The three began to drink heartily. Just as they were getting into the mood, suddenly many of the royal brothers rushed over to ask Jiang Ming for some Celestial Wine. The intense fragrance of the wine had spread throughout the entire palace, making all other wines taste bland in comparison. 0
 
This was exactly the effect that Jiang Ming wanted. 0
 
It was the first time that the royal brothers gathered together to drink in the palace. In a moment of joy, Nation loudly declared, "Tomorrow, yes tomorrow, I will obtain the Sky-Sealing Tower. Haha, my royal brothers, let us celebrate in advance! This can also be considered a gift from me to my elder brother." 0
 
Jiang Ming pretended to be confused and asked, "Where did my royal brother get the Sky-Sealing Tower? Has it appeared? That is a divine artifact." 0
 
"Haha, my younger brother is unaware. The Sky-Sealing Tower has been located near the He Family in Nanyang City. Several major families, including the Nangong Family, have been searching for its whereabouts. Even Guardian Duke Lord Gao has been trying every means to find it. In the end, the Nangong Family issued an ultimatum to the He Family: unless they hand over the Sky-Sealing Tower, their entire family would be exterminated. As a result, the He Family agreed to give the Sky-Sealing Tower to my elder brother; however, since my elder brother is currently on the front lines fighting against Dawson, they agreed to hand it over to me because they know I am my elder brother's representative. Haha, with such a great opportunity, how could I not seize it?" 0
 
"I heard that a small group of enemy troops has appeared near the He Family. It would be wise for you to stay vigilant, Fifth Brother," one of the princes said with concern. 0
 
Nation, full of spirit, replied, "Haha, I have heard about that too. A small group of enemy troops has infiltrated our Southern Source Empire. Yesterday, Lord Northern Champion already dispatched troops to encircle them. According to him, they are merely fleeing soldiers from the Dawson Empire, and they are being pursued with all their might. I am also curious about what kind of soldiers from the Dawson Empire are fighting against my elder brother." 0
 
"Fifth Brother, it's better to be cautious; I will accompany you tomorrow." 0
 
After hearing Nation's explanation, all the princes envied his good fortune. Consequently, their views of him improved even more. Other princes also wanted to join in and make a good impression on the Crown Prince. 0
 
Everyone's gaze towards Nation changed immediately; each had their own calculations. However, despite his unattractive appearance, Nation was very confident inside. He was not afraid of these princes at all; he simply followed closely behind the Crown Prince without caring about anything else! 0
 
 
Under the warm hospitality of Jiang Ming, all the princes left in high spirits. 0
 
The next day, Jiang Tianlan and the other princes were to accompany Nation to the He Family. Nation readily agreed, allowing his brother to witness him obtaining the Sky-Sealing Tower, which was not a bad thing. Jiang Ming also expressed his desire to join Fifth Brother for a broader experience, and Nation happily consented. 0
 
Nation brought five skilled fighters with him, including two from the Eternal Realm to ensure his absolute safety. The other princes also brought their bodyguards along, making the scene quite grand. 0
 
At the He Family estate in Tiger Town, Wei Qingyang, Wei Qinglun, Nangong Kanghong, and Nangong Kangliang were all present, waiting for Nation's arrival. The He Family only sent three stewards who insisted that the Sky-Sealing Tower was in their possession and would be handed over as soon as Nation arrived. 0
 
The experts from the Nangong Family and Wei Family repeatedly checked the three from the He Family but found no trace of the Sky-Sealing Tower. They believed that the He Family would not dare to gamble with the lives of all their members; if they dared to play tricks on a prince, they would be hunted down without mercy. 0
 
Meanwhile, Guan Yue was lying in ambush at a location where the He Family would hand over the Sky-Sealing Tower to Nation. Guan Yue was accompanied by Jin Xi and Huangfu Jiayin, both disguised so that their true identities were unrecognizable. Additionally, there were five masked Great Powers from the Eternal Realm who had been introduced by Ouyang Xinyi to assist. Guan Yue had made detailed arrangements for them, instructing them to complete the entire process in an instant without leaving any clues. 0
 
The decision to ambush here was Huangfu Jiayin's suggestion; this way, it would not implicate the He Family. Choosing another location could create an impression that the He Family was trying to evade suspicion, leading the royal family to suspect collusion with the criminals. 0
 
Since they did not know when the criminals had begun tracking them, they could not determine if there was any suspicion surrounding the He Family. 0
 
Huangfu Jiayin leaned tightly against Guan Yue's body, trembling with tension. Guan Yue could only hold her close to help her calm down; he knew this was Huangfu Girl's first time actively arranging a killing, and she was very nervous. It reminded him of his own first kill, which had been difficult as well. 0
 
With Guan Yue holding her, Huangfu Jiayin's heart raced faster and her breathing became more difficult, but she held back her feelings. She did not want to ruin their sweet embrace; everything felt beautiful at that moment. As long as she was in Guan Yue's arms, she felt she could die without regrets! 0
 
Huangfu Jiayin lacked Ouyang Shaohua's courage to ask for a hug but still longed for her beloved man's embrace. Being able to hide in Guan Yue's arms felt like receiving the highest reward. 0
 
At that moment, Northern Champion's troops had captured three soldiers from the Dawson Empire and were now approaching this location; everything was proceeding according to Guan Yue's plan. 0
 
Suddenly, a commotion arose from within the He Family estate. It was clear that Nation had arrived. From here, one could faintly hear the lively scene following Nation's arrival. 0
 
After some time, everyone was being led by an elder of the He Family towards this location. 0
 
 
Guan Yue immediately quieted everyone down, preparing for action! At this moment, Huangfu Jiayin had completely softened in Guan Yue's embrace. She felt that his hug was incredibly strong, pressing her body tightly against his. Her face turned red, and she felt an unusual happiness. It was as if she were about to suffocate. 0
 
The so-called happiness to the point of death was a perfect description of her current state! 0
 
Guan Yue gently said to her, "Can you move? Don't be afraid; everything will pass. Disciple always has to kill." 0
 
Huangfu Jiayin could only slowly pull away from Guan Yue's body, standing straight, and then said to him, "Senior Brother, I can do it." 0
 
Only then did Guan Yue smile: "I believe in you; you are the best!" 0
 
Tears welled up in Huangfu Jiayin's eyes, and she quickly turned her head away: "They are getting closer. Let's separate." After saying this, she cleverly concealed her tears. 0
 
Everyone present quickly followed the plan and occupied advantageous positions. This was decided by Huangfu Jiayin after arriving at the scene; she specifically instructed Jin Xi not to take action and to let her handle any sudden situations. 0
 
The entire process was executed by five experts from the Eternal Realm, ensuring that everything was foolproof. Jin Xi was like a fixed point for the Sea God, and unless it was an emergency, she wouldn't need to intervene. 0
 
To this, Guan Yue fully agreed. 0
 
Nation, accompanied by Jiang Tianlan, Jiang Ming, the brothers Nangong Kanghong, and Wei Qingyang, walked directly towards the ambush site set by Guan Yue, along with three elders from the He Family. 0
 
Suddenly, Jin Xi whispered, "Senior Brother, a powerful expert is coming." 0
 
"What kind of expert? Is he stronger than you?" Seeing that the other five Supreme Beings of Eternal Realm had not noticed anything, Guan Yue concluded that the newcomer must be exceptionally strong. 0
 
Jin Xi sensed again and replied, "I'm not sure; he might be stronger than me, but he can't kill me. If he makes a move, I'll respond; you all should run quickly. I will be fine." 0
 
"Are you really okay? I don't want you to be in danger. If you're in danger, we will cancel the operation," Guan Yue stated clearly. He couldn't dare to think too deeply about someone stronger than the Eternal Realm. That would be the realm of a supreme Expert, which Guan Yue still had no understanding of. 0
 
 
"Tell them to act quickly. No hesitation; as long as you retreat swiftly, I should be able to escape. Don't worry, Senior Brother." At this moment, Jin Xi was very decisive and resolute. Her decision was not open to debate. 0
 
Guan Yue had no choice but to explain again to the five Supreme Beings of the Eternal Realm that an enemy expert had arrived, and only then did the five Great Powers begin to take Guan Yue seriously. At this point, they also sensed the natural pressure emanating from the Great Power's body. However, they did not reveal where this super Great Power was located. 0
 
This Great Power was far beyond their capabilities! 0
 
The five experts from the Eternal Realm had initially thought this operation would be a game, but now they felt the danger. Nevertheless, they were accustomed to these kinds of violent acts and remained calm, continuing to follow their plan. 0
 
No matter what, there would always be an opportunity for them to escape. 0
 
Their role was merely to strike from the air. 0
 
Nation and the princes Jiang Tianlan, Jiang Ming, along with brothers Nangong Kanghong and Wei Qingyang approached while chatting and laughing; they were unaware of the danger. They felt completely at ease with their Disciple nearby. Thus, Nation occasionally joked with the He Family and the elders, hoping they would stay in this place, assuring them that he could guarantee the safety of the He Family for generations. 0
 
However, the three elders of the He Family were extremely frustrated. Their ancestral Sky-Sealing Tower was being forced into the hands of the royal family due to betrayal from within their own ranks, a feeling akin to swallowing a fly. They had lost their anger; instead, they aimed to unleash their greatest fury on their family's traitors, ultimately leading to a complete division within the He Family. 0
 
For the royal family, these small clans could only submit to their whims. 0
 
At that moment, subordinates of the Northern Champion appeared, escorting three soldiers from the Dawson Empire who happened to pass by. The captain leading them was a trusted confidant assigned by Northern Champion to Guan Yue; he was strictly following Guan Yue's orders by bringing over the Dawson Empire soldiers. 0
 
Upon seeing this, Nation was overjoyed. After clarifying the situation, he immediately instructed the captain to have the Dawson Empire soldiers stand aside. Once he secured the Sky-Sealing Tower, he would properly inquire about the Crown Prince and the situation on the battlefield with Dawson Empire. He had always placed great importance on frontline military affairs and had a particular fondness for interrogating prisoners. 0
