Chapter 143: Seventy-Two Demon Caves! Mo Xu Great Sage's Plot!
Chapter 143: Seventy-Two Demon Caves! Mo Xu Great Sage's Plot!
The Great Jin Dynasty encompasses thirty-six provinces.
Yet, beyond its borders, there exist seventy-two Demon Caves!
These seventy-two Demon Caves are scattered across the four corners of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Even more astonishingly, some are directly within the Great Jin Dynasty's territory!
Among them, the Moxu Demon Cave is located deep within the Moxu Mountains, adjacent to Qingzhou, and it belongs to the areas outside the Great Jin Dynasty.
The master of this Moxu Demon Cave is a Great Sage Realm Bear Demon!
On their way to the Moxu Demon Cave, Zhao Li briefly introduced to Qin Zheng the situation regarding the Demon Caves.
After hearing this, Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his expression became solemn.
The Great Jin Dynasty's thirty-six provinces are only guarded by eighteen National Guardian Saints.
But these seventy-two Demon Caves represent at least seventy-two Demon Clan Supremes who are on par with Martial Saints!
Eighteen against seventy-two is an extremely unbalanced state, meaning one National Guardian Saint would need to face four Demon Clan Supremes!
As Zhao Li slowly narrated the situation.
Qin Zheng also learned for the first time such a comprehensive understanding of the current situation in the Great Jin Dynasty.
No wonder the Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign is about to ascend, and no National Guardian Saint has appeared to thoroughly eliminate them.
The eighteen National Guardian Saints need to constantly guard the thirty-six provinces of the Great Jin Dynasty, deterring the seventy-two Demon Caves and preventing the Demon Clan Supremes.
In this situation, it is indeed a bit overwhelming, and they wouldn't easily appear unless necessary.
"The path to becoming a Martial Saint is fraught with difficulties. In the thirty-six provinces of the Great Jin Dynasty, there are countless martial artists, yet only eighteen National Guardian Saints have emerged."
Zhao Li sighed and said.
Then, seeing Qin Zheng's somewhat solemn expression, he quickly explained, "The fact that there are only eighteen National Guardian Saints in the Great Jin Dynasty doesn't mean there are only eighteen Martial Saints among humans."
Within and outside the Great Jin Dynasty's territory, there are six top-tier Jianghu sects, and each of these sects has at least one Martial Saint.
If you count them all, there are nearly thirty Martial Saints in the entire human race.
Martial Saint elites, in terms of offensive capabilities, are superior to Demon Clan Supremes who solely rely on their bloodline divine abilities.
So, nearly thirty Martial Saints against over seventy Demon Clan Supremes, the gap is not too significant, and they can barely maintain a balance.
Qin Zheng nodded after hearing this, and he was also curious about these six top-tier sects.
However, Zhao Li didn't elaborate further, only sighing, "If the Quanyang Gao Clan wanted to establish their own sect, they could immediately become a top-tier sect."
After all, among the eighteen National Guardian Saints of the Great Jin Dynasty, six are from the Quanyang Gao Clan. This is the reason for their domineering behavior.
Qin Zheng fell silent after hearing this and didn't respond.
He understood Zhao Li's intention behind these words, which was to give him a reminder.
Even if the Quanyang Gao Clan acts domineeringly, as long as they don't endanger the life and death crisis of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the six National Guardian Saints are there to support, the Great Jin Dynasty court wouldn't easily provoke them.
In this situation, even if he stood on the righteous side and offended the Quanyang Gao Clan, he might not gain any advantage.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior."
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Qin Zheng expressed his gratitude to Zhao Li with a bow.
Regardless of the actual situation, this Ta Wu Academy's peerless Grandmaster had good intentions.
However, no one knew Qin Zheng's true thoughts.
As for his outward appearance, he maintained his calm demeanor, as if unaffected.
Zhao Li observed Qin Zheng's expression and nodded slightly. Having lived in the Imperial Capital Martial Academy, he had seen many talented individuals.
But someone like Qin Zheng, who rose from humble beginnings and held grand aspirations, was rare, which was why he couldn't help but remind him.
Whether Qin Zheng listened or not, was not within Zhao Li's control.
After that, the two rode on Demon Horses, silently rushing towards the Moxu Mountains.
The two rode on Demon Horses, each containing a trace of the Dragon Bloodline, and their speed was exceptionally fast.
Half a day later, the two arrived at Yong'an Prefecture, also reaching the intersection of Qingzhou and the Mosu Mountains.
At this moment, a person had been waiting here.
Xiang Qingyu had a robust build, holding a great halberd, and riding a Demon Horse, looking like a general commanding thousands of troops, exuding a formidable aura.
When he saw Qin Zheng, a hint of unnaturalness appeared on his face, along with a trace of unconscious admiration.
Then, as his gaze fell on Zhao Li, he said, "Xiang Qingyu of Linyuan City, pays respects to Senior Zhao!"
Zhao Li smiled lightly and waved his hand, saying, "No need for such formality!"
At the same time, Zhao Li and Qin Zheng also dismounted.
Without the blockade of the Governor's Mansion, news from Linyuan City could quickly reach Yong'an Prefecture.
Xiang Qingyu naturally also learned about the battle on the Cangyuan River outside Linyuan City and the reason why these two appeared here.
Entering deep into the Mosu Mountains, they were about to strike and intimidate the Moxu Demon Cavern!
"Have there been any unusual activities in the Mosu Mountains recently?"
Zhao Li's gaze fell on the deep, overlapping mountains ahead, and he asked.
Xiang Qingyu immediately replied, "No! Everything is normal in the Mosu Mountains, and there hasn't been any abnormality at all!"
According to reason, the Moxu Demon Cavern, with such a grand commotion to assist the Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign's ascension, must have had some ulterior motive.
After the Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign was killed, the Moxu Demon Cavern's desired object couldn't be obtained, and they would definitely make some noise.
At this moment, without any unusual activity, it seemed rather abnormal.
However, upon hearing this, Zhao Li nodded but didn't develop any thoughts; he remained calm.
He was just one step away from ascending to the Saint Realm as an extraordinary Great Grandmaster!
With his abilities, even if a Demon Clan Supreme faced him, he could still test his skills.
Even if the Bear Demon Great Sage of the Moxu Demon Cavern had some scheme, he remained unperturbed.
Under this demeanor, Xiang Qingyu's slightly apprehensive thoughts calmed down.
After all, that was a Demon Cavern guarded by a Demon Clan Supreme; if things went wrong and provoked a counterattack from the Cavern, it would be terrible.
"Alright, let's go then."
Zhao Li turned to Qin Zheng and said.
Qin Zheng nodded and then looked at Xiang Qingyu, saying, "The Jiazi Army will soon send a Great Grandmaster to station in Yong'an Prefecture. You can return to Linyuan City."
After speaking, he displayed his lightfoot skills and rushed into the depths of the Mosu Mountains.
The Mosu Mountains were uninhabited, with no roads for passage; it was faster to use lightfoot skills than riding a horse.
Watching Qin Zheng and the others leave, Xiang Qingyu unconsciously clenched the great halberd in his hand, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, as the two entered the Mosu Mountains.
Deep in the mountains, where countless demons gathered, in a place shrouded in darkness.
A giant python slowly coiled around the mountain, its vertical pupils coldly staring towards Qingzhou.
"Saint Envoy, will the Great Jin Dynasty really send people over?"
Below it, a Demonic Sage Realm demon asked.
The python didn't answer but turned its gaze to a nearby mountain peak.
There, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary demeanor sat cross-legged with closed eyes.
"As you said, will that youngster who killed the Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign really bring the demon core over?" the python slowly asked.
Upon hearing this, the man also opened his eyes, his gaze indifferent as if devoid of emotion.
"Yes," he replied briefly, without adding more.
The python also nodded slightly and didn't pursue the topic further. Instead, it seemed to speak to itself, "That false true dragon demon core must fall into our hands."
"Like this, we can continue with the next plan!"
