Shen Fei, who had broken through, left the Ascending Sparrow Pavilion not long after.
The effect of this Breakthrough Pill was extremely great. The original body, a Level Nine expert, had been stuck in his realm for many years.
He had consumed countless spirit pills, but he had never succeeded in breaking through.
Today, he had finally broken through to Rank-9 and became the second beginner grandmaster of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Dong Yong, who was feeling the aura of the great grandmaster Shen Fei, knelt down in front of Shen Fei with an excited expression.
"Congratulations, Minister Shen, for breaking through rank-nine and becoming a martial grandmaster.“
Dong Yong was also a martial arts master in the advanced stage of Rank-9. He had been stuck in the Rank-9 realm for many years. As for Shen Fei who had become a Great Grandmaster in just four hours today, Dong Yong was not only excited but also envious.
Shen Fei nodded with an indifferent expression.
He instructed Dong Yong to stand up.
Then, he wiped away the aura of a grandmaster from his body.
Once a martial arts expert reached the grandmaster realm, he could erase the traces of his realm. Unless he revealed his strength, even a perfected great grandmaster would not be able to detect it.
Although Shen Fei had already become a martial grandmaster, he did not want more people to know about this news.
"Tonight, when I break through in the imperial palace, it will definitely attract a lot of speculation. Right now, I don't want anyone to know that I've broken through, so I need you to let the outside world know that you're the one who broke through today, not me.“
There were not many Level Nine experts in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and there were even fewer in the Imperial Palace.
Therefore, if Shen Fei didn't let Dong Yong take the initiative to cover it up, someone would quickly link the matter of breaking the mirror to him.
Dong Yong naturally understood the logic behind this.
He quickly nodded." Minister Shen, don't worry. I'll get it done immediately."“
Shen Fei nodded and asked Dong Yong,
"How's the investigation going?“
Dong Yong said very respectfully,
"The investigation is almost complete. His Majesty has sent out three groups of people for the hunting after the morning court today. Among them, there are two Ninth Grade experts. In addition, there were some unusual movements at Wenchang Academy last night.”
Shen Fei frowned,"What's going on?"”
"Last night, Ning Yuxi came to the palace alone to see His Majesty," Dong Yong said.”
After hearing this news, Shen Fei smiled coldly.
"It seems that our empress really wants to make use of this hunt to attack me.”
Although Wu Zhao, the current empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had always respected Shen Fei due to his immense power, this sixteen-year-old empress was a shrewd woman.
Now that Shen Fei was so arrogant and had encroached on the harem, coupled with the fact that his power had already reached its peak, this would definitely endanger her throne.
Therefore, it was not strange that Wu Zhao wanted to get rid of Shen Fei.
Now that the civil strife had been settled, the Great Zhou Dynasty was prosperous and the people were at peace. Her position as the Emperor was also considered stable. At this time, it was the best time to work with the Wenchang Academy to get rid of Shen Fei.
"Minister Shen, if not, we can just pretend to be sick and stay at home during this hunt." Dong Yong suggested worriedly.”
Shen Fei sneered and shook his head.
"Even if you can claim to be sick this time, there will be a next time, and the next time after that. Since our empress has already made up her mind to get rid of me, you won't be able to avoid it no matter how hard you try.”
"Instead of hiding, it's better to take the initiative to attack. Who do you think will win if Ning Yuxi and I fight?”
Dong Yong was stunned.
After a moment of hesitation, he said," Ning Yuxi broke through to the grandmaster realm last year. She's used to studying the martial arts books of the Wenchang Academy. Her current strength may have already reached the upper level of the beginner grandmaster realm."”
Shen Fei was full of confidence as he continued to sneer,
"So what? Since they want to kill me this time, I'll let them see if they can kill me.“
After he finished speaking, Shen Fei smiled and waved his hand to leave.
Dong Yong was stunned. He felt that this Minister Shen was a little strange today.
It was already puzzling enough that he had broken through in such a short period of time. What was even more puzzling was that not only was he not afraid of the trap that Empress Wu Zhao had set up during the hunt, he was even eager to try.
What was even more puzzling was that in the face of Ning Yuxi, who was also a grandmaster, Minister Shen did not seem to be afraid at all.
Two hours later, Shen Fei arrived at the Imperial Palace.
The morning court session began as usual.
Today, the empress was dressed in a phoenix costume and looked heroic.
After the morning court session, according to the original plan, all the officials gathered outside the palace gate.
He would wait for the empress's arrival before following her to the royal hunting grounds.
Not long after, the emperor arrived.
When the carriage passed by Shen Fei's horse, Empress Wu Zhao suddenly pulled open the curtain and smiled at Shen Fei. She invited him,"
"Minister Chen, the wind and sand on the road are very strong, why not take a carriage with Zhen to the hunting ground.”
