Chapter 150: The Mighty and Overbearing Qin Zheng!
Chapter 150: The Mighty and Overbearing Qin Zheng!
Qingzhou.
At the edge of the Mosu Mountains, bordering Yong'an Prefecture.
Two figures swiftly passed by, quickly entering the area of Qingzhou.
At this moment, Xiang Qingyu's figure had long disappeared.
In his place were numerous officers from the Geng Word Camp led by Pei Qing.
The group's expressions were grave, and the atmosphere was heavy, as if a thick cloud of gloom hovered overhead.
"Governor Qin!"
After seeing Qin Zheng, Pei Qing's expression changed, and he immediately used his light body technique to quickly reach Qin Zheng's side.
"What happened?" Qin Zheng asked, his expression slightly solemn.
The two had spent some time together, and Qin Zheng, seeing his companion's demeanor, immediately understood that something significant had occurred.
However, at this moment, it had been just over a day since they left Qingzhou to head towards the Mosu Demon Cavern.
The Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign, a major threat to Qingzhou, had been slain, and Wei Wujie was now free to act. What else could have happened?
Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed, and a sense of foreboding welled up within him.
Pei Qing, upon hearing this, glanced at Zhao Li on the side.
Qin Zheng spoke up, "This is Zhao Li, the Great Sage from the Imperial Martial Academy in the Imperial Capital, come to assist us. You can speak freely in front of him."
"Governor Zhao!"
Pei Qing, upon hearing this, immediately bowed to Zhao Li.
Then, he turned to Qin Zheng and said with a grave expression, "A letter has arrived from Linyuan City, requesting your presence there!"
"General Xiang has already left for the city, as I heard the Commander is in trouble!"
Upon hearing this, both Qin Zheng and Zhao Li's expressions changed.
Only the two of them knew that General of Qingzhou, Wei Wujie, had gone to the Governor's Mansion to seek an explanation from Gao Wenyu and to intimidate him. Now that Wei Wujie was in trouble, could it be that he was injured at the Governor's Mansion?
"Is there a Great Grandmaster stationed in the Geng Word Camp at this moment?" Qin Zheng asked, maintaining his composure as he looked at Pei Qing.
"Before General Xiang left, Liu, the Great Grandmaster from the Jiazi Camp, had already arrived to take over the position of Commander of the Geng Word Camp!" Pei Qing immediately replied.
Qin Zheng nodded and then turned to Zhao Li, saying, "Senior?"
"I'll go with you!" Zhao Li said with a grave expression.
He had originally come to assist Wei Wujie in slaying the Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign, but by the time he arrived, the Dragon Sovereign had already been dealt with.
Subsequently, he wanted to go to the Mosu Demon Cavern to intimidate the powerful demons there, but he almost lost his life and was saved by Qin Zheng instead.
As an exceptional Great Grandmaster from the Imperial Martial Academy, he had achieved nothing on this trip.
With such a situation at hand, he naturally wouldn't stand idly by.
However, after saying this, he turned his gaze to Pei Qing and continued, "Return as quickly as possible and deliver a message on my behalf!"
The Gao Clan of Quanyang had joined forces with the demons to seize the Azure Dragon Remains, and this matter must be reported to the court with the utmost urgency!
Yongyuan Prefecture, Linyuan City.
After the Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign was subdued, the Four-Handed Ape King died, and the Qinglin Fish King escaped without a trace, his whereabouts unknown.
The tense atmosphere that had lingered in Linyuan City for decades suddenly dissipated.
Without the restraint of these top-tier demons, Linyuan City seemed to have broken free from its shackles, its might increasing tenfold and radiating throughout Qingzhou.
The people within Linyuan City could clearly sense that the atmosphere was much lighter than before.
It was as if a giant rock that had been pressing down on everyone's hearts had fallen, and everyone relaxed, feeling much lighter.
But just a day ago, a luxurious carriage entered Linyuan City, and the atmosphere suddenly changed!
First, the Commander's personal guards returned, followed by the generals of the Jia, Yi, and Bing Camps.
One by one, powerful figures arrived, all with solemn expressions.
For a moment, the atmosphere within the Commander's Mansion became oppressive.
This atmosphere spread throughout Linyuan City.
Gloom! Oppression! Panic!
It was as if an invisible cloud of darkness had once again enveloped the city!
Although the people of Linyuan City didn't know what had happened, they understood that with such a grand display, something significant was about to take place!
Even when the Commander had personally slain the Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign, Qingzhou's greatest threat, such a large-scale display had not been seen!
It must be a crisis more severe than the Dragon Sovereign's ascension!
So, for a moment, Linyuan City was like a city shrouded in dark clouds, with its people silent and anxious.
As Qin Zheng rode into Linyuan City, the first thing he felt was this heavy and oppressive atmosphere.
Qin Zheng's expression became slightly more solemn.
"Let's go back to the Commander's Mansion to understand the situation." Zhao Li spoke with a deep voice.
Qin Zheng nodded.
The two men then rode their horses swiftly and soon arrived at the entrance of the Commander's Mansion.
At this moment, several junior officers were standing guard at the gate, and upon seeing Qin Zheng, they immediately brightened and shouted, "Governor Qin!"
Then, they shifted their gaze to Zhao Li, who was beside Qin Zheng, and continued, "Governor Zhao!"
Zhao Li had been here once before, and these officers were aware of his identity.
"What happened?" Qin Zheng dismounted, handing the reins to an approaching officer, and asked.
The officer responded with a solemn expression, "The Commander left yesterday and hasn't returned. Yesterday, several people from the Governor's Mansion came, and they weren't friendly!"
Qin Zheng nodded, and his gaze met Zhao Li's, confirming his suspicions.
Indeed!
Wei Wujie is in trouble!
Without delay, the two of them were about to enter the courtyard to see what the visitors from the Governor's Mansion were up to.
Just then, a figure dressed in exquisite silk robes appeared at the entrance, blocking their path.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Li gave a soft snort.
The figure showed no fear and bowed, saying, "I am Gao Wu Xing, and I have met the Great Martial Academy's Governor Zhao!"
Without waiting for Zhao Li's response, he turned his gaze to Qin Zheng, scrutinizing him from head to toe before mockingly asking, "Are you Qin Zheng?"
Qin Zheng's eyes remained calm as he looked at yet another Gao Clan disciple before him and said, "Move aside."
Gao Wu Xing's lips curled slightly, and a hint of ridicule appeared on his face. He then said, "Move aside?"
"Do you know—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Zheng had already taken a step forward and appeared in front of Gao Wu Xing in an instant, with his palm pressing down forcefully!
"How dare you!!"
At the same time, a loud shout suddenly came from within the courtyard.
A powerful surge of demonic energy suddenly soared into the sky, and a dark shadow instantly rushed towards Qin Zheng!
Zhao Li was just about to make a move, but Qin Zheng was even faster.
Qin Zheng's pressing palm remained steady, and at the same time, his other hand shot out.
In the instant the dark shadow rushed towards him, he suddenly clenched his palm into a fist and struck out with a direct punch!
Boom!!
The air erupted with a booming sound under the force of that punch!
Immediately after, their fists connected, and the dark shadow was sent flying backward at an even faster speed!
Boom!!
It smashed through a fake mountain and only then came to a stop.
At that moment, Qin Zheng's pressing palm also landed, and in the shocked gaze of Gao Wu Xing, it instantly struck him down.
Slap!
A dull sound echoed, and Gao Wu Ying, struck by a powerful blow, instantly fainted and fell to the ground.
Qin Zheng did not kill him directly, as the situation was still unclear, and doing so might escalate the conflict.
He would wait to meet the other personal disciples and understand the situation before taking further action.
Lifting the other's neck with his hand, as if holding a dead dog, Qin Zheng's expression remained calm as he stepped into the courtyard.
At this moment, the demon that had just been sent flying by Qin Zheng appeared as an elderly man with silver hair.
Although it was a powerful demon in the Demonic Sage Realm, it was no match for the current Qin Zheng.
Its entire body, bones, and muscles had been shattered by that punch, and it was struggling to crawl out of the pile of rubble.
Then, it sensed a shadow covering it.
"Do you know who he is?!"
Without a moment's hesitation, the demon roared angrily.
But instead of Qin Zheng's response, a sharp flash of sword light answered.
Swish!
With one slash, the demon's head was severed, and a huge silver fox corpse appeared before everyone's eyes.
Earlier, he had held back his strength to avoid causing too much damage to the courtyard, so the silver fox demon still had some breath left to speak.
Qin Zheng calmly sheathed his sword and looked around at the many junior officers who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion. He said, "Please take care of this demon's corpse."
After saying this, he nodded at Zhao Li and turned towards the inner courtyard.
Zhao Li watched Qin Zheng's figure, especially noticing the Gao Clan disciple he held like a dead dog in his hand.
He shook his head slightly; the Gao Clan disciples Qin Zheng had killed were not just one or two, and there was nothing surprising about it.
However, the fact that a disciple of the Gao Clan, the Governor of Qingzhou, had openly kept a powerful demon in the Demonic Sage Realm and even brought it directly into the headquarters of the demon slayer was astonishing.
A cold light flashed in Zhao Li's eyes.
He followed Qin Zheng's footsteps towards the inner courtyard.
After the two of them left, the junior officers around them finally snapped out of their shock.
They approached the massive corpse of the silver fox.
The aura of the Demonic Sage Realm still lingered, leaving the officers in awe.
But the more they felt this way, the more their emotions surged within them at this moment.
Powerful! Arrogant! Majestic!
These three words instantly appeared in the minds of the officers.
The Gao Clan disciples from the Governor's Mansion had been arrogant and unruly in the Commander's Mansion all day, angering countless people.
And this silver fox demon, which had previously taken the form of an elderly human, had boldly and disrespectfully entered the Commander's Mansion without any fear!
The officers felt anger, but also a sense of helplessness.
Even the adults from the inner courtyard had said and done nothing, leaving them with no choice but to remain silent.
However, they never expected that as soon as Governor Qin returned, he would immediately take care of both matters, leaving one unconscious and holding him like a dead dog, and beheading the other, with the corpse and severed head displayed before them.
At this moment, the figure in the golden-patterned black robe seemed to expand infinitely in their minds, overshadowing the brilliance of all the personal disciples.
Almost on par with Commander Wei Wujie!
"How strong is Governor Qin?"
After half a beat of silence, a voice suddenly broke the quiet.
No one answered the question.
They only hoped that Governor Qin would be incredibly powerful.
