Chapter 180: Martial Sage Messenger! The Imperial Capital Shakes!
Chapter 180: Martial Sage Messenger! The Imperial Capital Shakes!
In the Great Jin Dynasty, within the Imperial Capital, at the Ta Wu Academy.
A beam of light suddenly appeared in the sky, swiftly traversing the vastness and descending into the depths of the academy.
The solemn hall, with its nine golden statues, stood in the shadows, making it difficult to discern their full forms, resembling nine immortal lords in deep meditation.
At that moment, a beam of light pierced through the doors, instantly entering the hall.
Boom! In an instant, the candles around the hall lit up.
The entire hall became brilliantly illuminated.
The beam of light hovered in mid-air, and upon stopping, it became clear that it was a small sword formed from a unique paper folding technique.
"It's a flying sword messenger from the Su family."
A voice broke the silence in the hall.
"Let's take a look first."
Another voice followed, carrying a hint of solemnity.
It was rare for a Martial Sage to send a direct message to the Ta Wu Academy unless a significant event had occurred!
Two mental fluctuations appeared, and the suspended paper sword slowly unfolded.
On it, concise words were written:
'Qingzhou Qin Zheng, battled the Mocking Saint in the Demon Den, severed his arm and returned, the extent of his injuries unknown.'
This simple sentence caused a sudden gust of wind to surge within the hall, making the flickering candlelight unstable.
"Qin Zheng?! Is he the same boy who came to observe the Divine Stele a few days ago?!"
One of the voices exclaimed in disbelief.
"Qingzhou Qin Zheng, it's unlikely to be anyone other than that boy!"
Another voice responded, equally filled with disbelief and astonishment.
"Battling a Great Sage, severing his arm and returning... Has he advanced to the Martial Sage realm?!"
"Probably not. He didn't obtain the true scriptures last time, and advancing to the Martial Sage realm would create a phenomenon. It's impossible to achieve it without any signs."
"Then how could he have the battle strength to fight a Great Sage and even sever his arm if he's not a Martial Sage?!"
"That boy must have advanced the Eighty-One Transformations Holy Scripture to its final transformation! With his Essence, Qi, and Spirit perfected, he's just one step away from promoting to the Martial Sage realm! Coupled with his innate divine strength, his battle strength far surpasses those at the same level, allowing him to fight a Great Sage!"
"But in the history of our Great Jin Dynasty, not a single person has achieved this final step!"
"A heaven-sent genius! A heaven-sent genius!"
"Battling a Great Sage... Even if he's not a Martial Sage, what's the difference?"
"With his Essence, Qi, and Spirit perfected, he only needs one more refinement to advance. He's on the verge of breaking through to the Martial Sage realm!"
"In a hundred years, our Great Jin Dynasty will finally welcome a new Martial Sage!"
"However, that boy is from Qingzhou, and among the twelve states that the court plans to abandon, there's Qingzhou."
"Hmph! The ancestral foundation and millions of citizens! To abandon them so easily, if the Founding Emperor knew, he would be furious in his grave!"
"Sigh, it's not easy for the Emperor either. Back when the Founding Emperor swept through and established the Great Jin Dynasty, there were thirty-six National Guardian Saints who loyally followed him, with one sage securing each state."
"But now, with only eighteen National Guardian Saints remaining, how can we compare to the past?"
"Nevertheless, with Qin Zheng's breakthrough, his appearance might stabilize the Great Jin's situation and influence the Emperor's decision."
"Old man Wang Qingquan won't let this opportunity slip by. He'll definitely use this to persuade the Emperor to change his mind."
"It remains to be seen if the Emperor will reconsider."
"Regardless, we must quickly send a message to bring that boy back to the Ta Wu Academy, allowing him to choose a true scripture to break through to the Martial Sage realm as soon as possible!"
"This is the real reason the Su family sent us this message!"
In Qingzhou, at Yong'an Prefecture, within the Geng Character Camp.
"Are you sure about what you're saying?"
Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, trying to suppress his emotions, as he looked at the young man in front of him, whose face was filled with apprehension.
Yu Liang quickly nodded and replied, "Every word I said is true!"
After a brief pause, he added, "The court is in constant dispute, and this matter hasn't been settled yet."
"If the Emperor learns that there's someone in Qingzhou who can rival a Great Sage and is likely to advance to the Martial Sage realm, he might change his mind!"
"Since you're already in Qingzhou, I'll set out immediately to report this matter to the Emperor. Regardless, Qingzhou should be safe!"
Qin Zheng's face was slightly lowered, his calm expression revealing no hint of his thoughts.
"You may go."
After a moment, amidst Yu Liang's anxious gaze, a voice as clear as a celestial melody finally sounded.
His face lit up with joy, and he immediately responded, "Yes!"
Turning around, he was about to leave, but just before exiting the tent, he paused.
Hesitating slightly, he turned back to Qin Zheng and asked, "May I ask, how close are you to becoming a Martial Sage?"
Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, and he indifferently replied, "Soon."
Yu Liang's heart trembled, and he nodded, taking a step out of the tent and quickly disappearing into the distance using his lightfoot skills.
Inside the tent, calmness returned.
But in Qin Zheng's heart, a tumultuous storm was brewing!
The Great Jin Court's plan was not just to abandon Qingzhou but a total of twelve states!
Twelve states, millions of citizens from the Dawn!
Had the demon monster crisis facing the Great Jin Dynasty truly reached the point where they had to sever their arms to survive?
This shouldn't be the case! Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed.
In the early years when the Great Jin Dynasty's founding emperor ascended the throne, there were only thirty-six Martial Saints following him.
Nowadays, although Great Jin only has eighteen National Guardian Saints, there are still six super-powerful factions within the Human Race.
These six factions also have Martial Sage powerhouses among them!
The National Guardian Saints of Great Jin, together with the Martial Saints from the six factions, number nearly thirty, not much less than before.
But why does the situation in Great Jin seem so dire? Could it be that these six factions are not united with Great Jin and won't join forces to deal with the Demon Monster crisis? Various thoughts swirled in Qin Zheng's mind.
After a few breaths, he temporarily suppressed all these thoughts in his heart.
Regardless of the true situation, he could only quickly advance to the Martial Saint realm to truly get involved! Otherwise, without reaching the Martial Saint level and lacking the strength to guard a region, he couldn't participate in this matter! With this thought, Qin Zheng stood up and began walking out of the tent.
At present, he could battle the Demon Clan Saint, but his battle strength was still significantly inferior to a true Martial Saint.
After all, a true Martial Saint could suppress two or three Demon Clan Saints alone.
But he could only barely handle one.
So he needed to enhance his strength as soon as possible!
With his current strength and the characteristics of the True Dragon Unextinguishable Body, as long as he opened up more acupoints, he should be able to possess Martial Saint-level battle strength!
Even if his realm wasn't that of a Martial Saint, his battle strength would be comparable to a Martial Saint! As for the virtue needed to open up acupoints, he couldn't kill the Demon Monsters outside Qingzhou for now, so he would first clean up those within Qingzhou!
A glint of killing intent flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes.
Stepping out of the tent, Sun Zilan stood outside, looking hesitant.
Upon seeing Qin Zheng, she seemed startled and blurted out nervously, "Junior Brother Qin."
"What's wrong?"
Qin Zheng asked, his heart sinking. Could it be that Wei Wujie had met with trouble?
"It's nothing. I just saw that your injuries are severe, and I wanted to help you treat and bandage them."
Sun Zilan quickly explained.
Qin Zheng then followed her gaze and looked down at himself.
The scars had already scabbed over, his clothes were tattered, and bloodstains were everywhere, making him look quite pitiful.
"It's fine. You can stay here for now. Wait until Master wakes up, then we can return to Linyuan City. I'll go out for a while."
Qin Zheng withdrew his gaze and shook his head.
Then, with a step, the air around him surged, and his entire body instantly soared into the sky!
Moments later.
Yonglin Prefecture.
A deep mountain forest.
Rumble! A figure soared through the sky and descended from high above.
Qin Zheng's gaze swept across the surroundings, and his body shook off all the dirt and clothes.
Then, with a thought, a set of clothes fell into his hand, and he put them on.
Qin Zheng didn't delay and took another step, instantly turning into a gust of wind and disappearing. He arrived at a mountain shrouded in demonic energy.
Hiss!
A serpent demon, comparable to the Grandmaster Realm, coiled its body, staring at Qin Zheng with trepidation.
In Qin Zheng, it sensed an unprecedented crisis of death!
Roar! Roar!!
In the wilderness behind the serpent demon, the hearts of the demon horde grew uneasy, and they roared loudly, trying to dispel this feeling of unease.
Qin Zheng's gaze swept lightly, and without any visible movement, he merely opened his mouth.
Hiss!!
An invisible mental wave instantly swept across the mountains before Qin Zheng.
Bang! The serpent demon's head exploded.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One after another, the sound of exploding heads echoed through the mountains, like fireworks going off.
In a moment, not a single demon survived in this demon mountain.
Sensing everything, Qin Zheng didn't hesitate and took another step, soaring into the sky again.
On this day, Qin Zheng's figure appeared in various counties of Qingzhou, at demon mountains and perilous lands.
And on this day, the sound of fireworks exploding continued to ring out, never ceasing.
By this time, the demons in Qingzhou were no match for Qin Zheng, and he could slay them with little effort.
With just one mental attack, he could instantly clear out an entire demon mountain.
For those who could resist mental attacks, a beam of light would flash, taking their lives.
Yonglin Prefecture, Yongkang Prefecture, Yong'an Prefecture...
The demons in the twelve prefectures of Qingzhou, regardless of their strength, faced their doomsday from this day forward.
The Imperial Capital.
Before the majestic and solemn imperial palace.
Two heavy vermillion gates slowly opened, and a carriage quickly emerged.
This carriage didn't head to any other place within the capital but instead rushed straight out of the city.
"Master, is it true that a new Martial Saint has appeared in our Great Jin Dynasty?"
The coachman outside the carriage asked excitedly.
"Yes! The emergence of such a figure at this time is truly a blessing for Great Jin!"
"I will never let the Gao Family's conspiracy succeed!"
An aged yet determined voice came from within the carriage.
