Chapter 166: The Divine Martial Sect's Depth
Chapter 166: The Divine Martial Sect’s Depth
The Ji family’s secondary lineage.
For three thousand years, they have held sway over the land.
In Ji Chunqiu’s eyes, the current imperial family is one thing, and the Ji family is another. There is little connection between the two.
To sit idly by and await his doom is something Ji Chunqiu cannot tolerate.
Unfortunately, the situation is dire.
Today, heroes from all over Central Province have gathered, and the land is in disarray. The great immortal sects and noble families are all eyeing each other with suspicion. Even with the accumulated strength of the Ji family’s three thousand years of rule, standing against these powerful factions is nothing more than a pipe dream.
However, the emergence of a supreme martial master in Guangyang Prefecture, on par with the martial ancestors of ten thousand years ago, has given Ji Chunqiu a glimmer of hope.
He must take a chance!
If the previous dynasty could last for six hundred years, then the Tai Xuan Imperial Family can do the same.
Not just six hundred years!
Ji Chunqiu wants more.
Without delay, he drafted an imperial edict and dispatched his most trusted men to carry it to Guangyang Prefecture.
---
The current state of the Nine Provinces is one of sudden turmoil.
The battle in Guangyang Prefecture has completely reshaped the landscape of the Nine Provinces.
A supreme martial master on par with the martial ancestors of ten thousand years ago is enough to sway the hearts of many. If such a powerful figure were to intervene in the great events of the world, they would have the ability to influence the entire landscape.
Gu Qingfeng paid no attention to the reactions of the various factions. He was currently meeting with Gu Yun.
“Senior Gu, I was presumptuous in the past. I hope you will not hold it against me!”
Gu Yun had lowered his stance significantly, no longer thinking of himself as Gu Qingfeng’s equal.
Are you kidding?
This is a master who can rival the martial ancestors of ten thousand years ago. How could he be my equal?
Such a powerful figure.
Even Gu Yun, with his status, must address him as senior.
“Master Gu, you are too modest. I do not deserve such a title.”
“Previously, it was my mistake. With Senior Gu’s unparalleled strength, you are on par with the martial ancestors of ten thousand years ago. It is fitting to address you as senior!”
Gu Yun shook his head.
Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to speak to Gu Qingfeng as an equal.
This is the change that comes with power.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng did not dwell on the topic.
At this moment, Gu Yun changed the subject and cautiously asked, “Now that the problems with the Tianyang Sword Sect have been resolved, does Senior Gu have any plans to visit the Divine Martial Sect?”
If it were before, Gu Yun believed that the secrets left by the martial ancestors, which involved the realm beyond Grandmaster, would be enough to pique his interest.
But now, Gu Yun was unsure.
After all, the person before him is a master who can rival the martial ancestors.
The secrets left by the martial ancestors might not be enough to interest him.
“I will visit the Divine Martial Sect, but not now. It will be when the Guangyang Army reaches Wuzhou,” Gu Qingfeng said.
Gu Qingfeng is naturally curious about the secrets left by the martial ancestors.
However, he cannot leave Guangyang Prefecture now.
After all, with Gu Yutian’s death, Guangyang Prefecture will become the center of the storm. Without sufficient power to maintain order, the consequences could be severe.
Although Gu Yang has a considerable force under his command, it depends on the trouble they face.
If it’s against a regular sect or noble family, it might be manageable. But if it’s one of the so-called immortal sects or noble families, it would be far from enough.
Therefore, Gu Qingfeng cannot leave directly.
When the Guangyang Army reaches Wuzhou!
Hearing his words, Gu Yun’s expression changed.
“Does Senior Gu truly have ambitions to rule the world?”
“Why not?”
Gu Qingfeng countered.
Upon hearing this, Winston Yu was speechless.
At this moment, he realized that his question had been rather foolish.
With the other party’s strength, why wouldn’t he be capable of vying for the throne?
The position of the ruler of the world, in the end, belonged to those who possessed the power.
An existence as supreme as Austin Greenbreeze, who could rival the Martial Founder, would naturally have no issue if he truly decided to contend for the throne.
"Evil beings run rampant!"
"Diviners bring calamity!"
"The order of the Nine Realms has long been rotten to the core. With the world now muddied, it is our duty to cleanse the universe and Reforge Order!"
As Austin Greenbreeze spoke, his expression suddenly turned serious.
He looked at Winston Yu and said, "As far as I know, the Divine Fist Sect has never colluded with diviners or evil beings. Now, with King Harrison seeking to unify the world and restore order, is the Divine Fist Sect willing to offer its assistance?"
Upon hearing these words, Winston Yu’s expression changed.
Clearly, Austin Greenbreeze’s intention was to get the Divine Fist Sect to take a side.
Winston Yu hesitated for only a moment before he replied solemnly, "King Harrison has a reputation for virtue. The Divine Fist Sect will naturally follow!"
There was no need to hesitate.
Anyone with clear eyes could see that although King Harrison’s current strength was weak, it was only a temporary state. With a powerhouse like Austin Greenbreeze backing him, expanding his influence would be a simple matter.
The Divine Fist Sect’s purpose was to revitalize martial arts. Now, with the opportunity to ally with Austin Greenbreeze, Winston Yu would not refuse.
"Your assistance is a great honor for this king," King Harrison, who had remained silent until now, said with a smile.
He was well aware of the Divine Fist Sect’s power.
By pulling the Divine Fist Sect to his side with just a few words, Austin Greenbreeze had secured a significant advantage for King Harrison.
As the first martial arts sect in the world, the Divine Fist Sect, even if not as powerful as the Eternal Noble Clans, was still far from being a simple force to reckon with.
"Your Highness is too kind. The Divine Fist Sect currently has nine Innate Masters, six Blood Qi Masters, and five True Intent Masters, all of whom are ready to follow your orders," Winston Yu said, no longer hiding the sect’s strength.
At such a critical moment, revealing their true power would make the other party value them even more.
As expected, upon hearing the Divine Fist Sect’s strength, King Harrison’s expression was visibly shaken.
Twenty Masters! And five of them were True Intent Masters.
This was no ordinary strength.
While the Dark Guards currently had eleven Masters, there were differences even among Masters.
Innate Masters were the weakest among Masters.
In comparison, Blood Qi Masters, who were also ordinary Masters, were strictly speaking, three times stronger than Innate Masters.
Then there were the True Intent Masters.
The Divine Fist Sect not only had Innate and Blood Qi Masters but also True Intent Masters. How could King Harrison not be elated?
Now that the Divine Fist Sect was loyal to him, this force could be put to use.
Of course, King Harrison was also well aware that with his current reputation and strength, it was impossible to make the Divine Fist Sect submit. The true reason for their loyalty was out of respect for his father.
A supreme powerhouse who could rival the Martial Founder from ten thousand years ago was enough to make the Divine Fist Sect willingly submit.
