The other party was not simple!

Shu Zhihua was holding a wine gourd with the stopper opened. It could be seen that her face was still a little red.

She sized up the white-haired old man.

She muttered to herself, “Such an old Golden Core cultivator should be at least a thousand years old, right?”

Then, she raised her head and took a sip of the spirit wine. She grinned, revealing a row of white pearly white teeth. “Old man, you are about to step half a foot into the coffin. Why are you still involved in this kind of thing?”

She repeated what she had said earlier. “I already said, give me some face! Don’t make things difficult for the Princess and Little Friend.”

The white-haired old man frowned. He felt that this woman was very strange. Moreover, the other party’s words were also very impolite. Her words were full of provocation.

Anger rose in his heart.

The white-haired old man could not help but ask, “Your Excellency, you should not be a member of the Imperial Court, right?”

“No!” Shu Zhihua’s reply was very frank and direct.

“Then why did you get involved in this matter?” the white-haired old man asked in puzzlement.

A Golden Core who was even stronger than him, this had already somewhat exceeded his expectations.

If he could avoid fighting with the other party, he would try his best not to fight with the other party.

Otherwise… He would not be able to gain any advantage.

“She gave me enough spirit stones, and it was enough to tempt me. Also, I am a very trustworthy person. Since I have accepted her things, then I have to help her in return,” Shu Zhihua replied, her smile became even brighter.

“Whew…” The white-haired old man exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and his expression was solemn. “Then… Let’s see what the real deal is!”

He did not want to defeat this woman, because that was a very unrealistic thing to do.

On his side, the advantage was that he had three Golden Cores! He only needed to delay this woman, and then let his puppet take action.

It was enough to kill that Little Princess.

Then, he would be able to smoothly escape.

He was also an Immortal cultivator in the Golden Core stage, and in a one-on-one situation, if he wanted to wholeheartedly escape…

Even if he was in the tenth level of the Golden Core stage, he might not be able to catch up to him so quickly.

Moreover, this woman did not seem to have the cultivation of the tenth level of the Golden Core stage.

In an instant!

A spirit tool was brought out by the old man. It was a large bronze cauldron, the size of a house.

A large amount of spirit energy poured into the bronze cauldron!

The bronze cauldron shook violently. The cauldron was placed horizontally. The mouth of the cauldron was facing Shu Zhihua, and there was a faint mystic light flowing within.

Suddenly!

A green light with a wide diameter shot out from the mouth of the cauldron. The green light that shot out was extremely glaring, causing Shu Zhihua to squint her eyes involuntarily.

Wherever the green light passed, the ground that was a distance away would sink in!

The surrounding air and objects seemed to be repelled and compressed.

It was extremely fast!

Shu Zhihua frowned. With a thought, the surging spiritual power turned into an invisible giant sword.

She stood still in the same place, but the giant sword of spiritual power moved. It went straight toward the striking green light.

It stabbed forward!

“Eh?” Shu Zhihua keenly sensed that a lifeless figure passed by her. It was the white-haired Golden Core old man and the Golden Core cultivator next to him!

Just as Shu Zhihua was about to stop the Golden Core cultivator, the white-haired old man’s attack came again.

She had no choice but to block it.

Although this white-haired old man’s cultivation was lower than hers, if she continued to fight, the other party would undoubtedly die.

The problem was, if the other party only wanted to delay her, then it was absolutely possible.

‘Is my disciple still not going to make a move?’

Seeing that the strange Golden Core cultivator was about to charge into the county office, Shu Zhihua’s frown deepened. She remembered that Bai Yi was also present.

Moreover, Bai Yi had also broken through to the Golden Core stage. It should not be a problem for him to delay a Golden Core.

Then why did her disciple not make a move? Could it be that he did not want to save that Little Princess?

It should not be the case. She remembered that her disciple thought quite highly of that Little Princess. So much so that it made her a little jealous.

Bai Yi was indeed present at the scene. He had seen everything, including that Golden Core stage cultivator who was about to make a move on Fu Shuangni.

However, the reason why he did not make a move until now was that he knew that the two Human Tools in the county office might not be afraid of a Golden Core.

Fu Shuangni might not be a Golden Core’s match because she did not practice Immortal cultivation many times.

She did not have many trump cards on her.

Even if she had trump cards, they were mostly used to escape.

However, Fu Shuangni still had Chen Qianxue by her side!

This was his number one Human Tool.

Bai Yi knew clearly what trump cards Chen Qianxue had.

Hence, he was not in a hurry, because he knew that Chen Qianxue would make a move.

…

In the county office.

“Two Golden Cores!” Fu Shuangni took a deep breath, her expression was solemn. “It seems that in order to get rid of me, the person behind the scenes has spent a lot of effort. At the same time, I can see that the other party’s identity is definitely not simple.”

“To be able to easily mobilize two Golden Cores to kill me, and these two Golden Cores do not seem to be demon cultivators. Then, the person who wants to get rid of me might be in the Great Yan Imperial City.”

“It might even be someone I know.”

“There are more than two Golden Cores.” Chen Qianxue’s sudden interjection stunned Fu Shuangni.

Then, Fu Shuangni knew what Chen Qianxue’s words meant.

She felt something!

Fu Shuangni looked up, only to see —

A middle-aged man with a wooden expression had already arrived in the sky above the county office, even in the courtyard.

The other party’s expression did not change, and his eyes did not seem to have any emotions.

It gave people the feeling that he was not a living person at all.

It was very strange.

The worst part was that Fu Shuangni realized that she could not see through the other party’s cultivation!

“Three Golden Cores!” she said through gritted teeth.

Just sending two Golden Cores to get rid of her could be considered to be a big deal.

She did not expect that the other party’s move was even bigger, sending out three Golden Core stage cultivators just to get rid of her!

They really did not dare to underestimate her, huh?!
