Chapter 189: A Thousand Years of Cultivation! Living Up to the Name of National Guardian (Part 2)
Rumble!
A luxurious carriage, pulled by six demonic horses, traveled along the official road.
After ascending to the Martial Saint Realm, the crisis in Qingzhou was resolved, and upon Wang Qingquan's suggestion, Qin Zheng decided to go to the capital to receive his imperial edict.
The two were in no hurry, so they chose the most effortless way to travel.
In the carriage, Wang Qingquan explained the details of the Great Jin Dynasty's Martial Saints to Qin Zheng: "Among the eighteen Martial Saints of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Gao Clan has six, the Wei, Su, and Li families each have one, my disciple has one, and the rest are from the Great Jin Imperial Family."
"Now, the Wei family's elder is old and frail, and two others are severely injured. It's uncertain how long they can hold on."
"So the main force resisting the four Demon Dens is the Great Jin Imperial Family and the Quanyang Gao Clan."
".
As Qin Zheng listened to Wang Qingquan's explanation, he caressed the Demon Core in his hand, which was as precious as a jewel.
[Item Discovered: Bear King Demon Core, can be refined, requires 5,000 units of Virtue]
[Note: Refining can grant the martial art 'Bear King Scripture']
[Note: Can choose to consume 100 units of Virtue to obtain a wisp of Spirit Energy]
[Item Discovered: Dragon King Demon Core, can be refined, requires 5,000 units of Virtue]
[Note: Refining can grant the skill 'Nine Heavens Dragon Power']
[Note: Can choose to consume 100 units of Virtue to obtain a wisp of Spirit Energy]
[Item Discovered: Dragon King Demon Core, can be refined, requires 5,000 units of Virtue]
[Note: Refining can grant the talent 'Summoning Wind and Rain']
[Note: Can choose to consume 100 units of Virtue to obtain a wisp of Spirit Energy]
Three Great Sages, three Demon Cores.
The required Virtue for refinement is high, and the rewards obtained from refinement are no longer attractive to him.
However, the last note caught Qin Zheng's attention.
Consuming 100 units of Virtue to obtain a wisp of Spirit Energy. He couldn't help but think of Qingzhou's dry and lifeless land, devoid of any Spirit Energy. He felt that this might be the correct way to use the Great Sage-level Demon Cores.
With this thought, he casually put the three Demon Cores into his storage bag and then looked at Wang Qingquan sitting across from him.
"Aside from the eighteen Martial Saints of the Great Jin Dynasty, there are six super-powerful forces in the Human Race."
"The Xianmen Sect, Lingyun Sword Sect, Haoran Academy, Bodhimanda, Faxi Temple, and Kun Peng Manor."
"Among these six forces, the Xianmen Sect is the strongest with four Martial Saints, while Kun Peng Manor is the weakest with only one Martial Saint. The other families usually have at least two Martial Saints."
"So, in total, there are still over thirty Martial Saint-level experts in the Human Race."
"But..."
At this point, Wang Qingquan sighed softly.
Qin Zheng's eyebrows twitched, and he asked, "Don't they care about the survival of the Human Race?"
Over thirty Martial Saint-level experts were not much weaker than the time when the Great Jin Dynasty's founding emperor established the dynasty.
However, at this moment, the Great Jin Dynasty was facing the dilemma of having to abandon twelve provinces to survive.
There must be a reason for this!
Wang Qingquan gave a bitter smile and then nodded, saying, "Haoran Academy and Kun Peng Manor are still fine. They just ignore the Great Jin Dynasty, but when it comes to the survival of the Human Race, they should step up."
"As for the other forces, their thinking has become extremely radical!"
"In their eyes, Spirit Roots are paramount. Ordinary people without Spirit Roots, even if they are Half-step Martial Saints, are no different from livestock!"
As he spoke the last sentence, Wang Qingquan's face showed anger.
Even though they were of the same race, they looked down on ordinary people without Spirit Roots and considered them as livestock! Such people were even more hateful than the Demon Race!
Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a chill flashed in his gaze.
So that's why the Great Jin Dynasty was in crisis on all sides. Aside from the Demon hordes from the four directions, they also had to be cautious of these rebellious members of the Human Race!
"Will they take action against the Great Jin Dynasty?"
Qin Zheng asked in a deep voice.
Wang Qingquan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Probably not."
"They will just stand by and watch, and they won't really take action against the Great Jin Dynasty. But if the Great Jin Dynasty possesses something they need, they might not show mercy."
"According to..."
Wang Qingquan wanted to say something more.
But at this moment, Qin Zheng seemed to sense something and turned to look outside the carriage.
On the official road, a demonic horse neighed, and the carriage slowly came to a stop.
Then, a white-robed swordsman appeared in front of the carriage—none other than the Gao Clan Sage!
His face was dark, and he stared coldly at the carriage, saying, "The imperial court has sent a message. Demon Dens have invaded the Great Jin Dynasty, and Lingzhou and Yanzhou have fallen. The Li family's elder fought valiantly but perished!"
"Martial Saint-level experts near these two provinces must go immediately to repel the demons!"
As he spoke, he reached out, and a golden beam of light instantly shot into the carriage.
Qin Zheng reached out and took it, only to find that it was a dispatch order.
Reading the contents, Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked up at Wang Qingquan.
He hadn't seen such an item before, but the elder before him should have.
In his gaze, the old man's body trembled, his voice quivered, and his face turned ashen! "How dare they! How dare they!"
The old man's voice trembled.
Qin Zheng's heart sank.
Two provinces had fallen, and a National Guardian Saint had perished! Just hearing this was enough to understand the severity of the situation.
So he looked at Wang Qingquan and said, "Take care, Elder Wang!"
With that, he disappeared like a gust of wind from the carriage and appeared before the Gao Clan Sage.
"Let's go!"
Qin Zheng didn't hesitate for a moment.
The Gao Clan Martial Sage let out a cold harrumph, then turned and transformed into a beam of light, rushing out. Qin Zheng instantly followed closely behind.
Black smoke, screams, and wails.
Biting, chewing, and roaring.
A thousand miles of gunpowder, mountains collapsing, and ruins of rubble!
Countless demons surged from all directions, quickly pouncing on the surviving humans.
On this day, the human realm turned into a living hell.
The guardian deity of the realm was also extinguished, its last gleam of divine light snuffed out.
A bald, barefoot man stood on a blood-stained cliff, overlooking the horrific scene of the city below.
In his hand, he held a blood-stained object, and his dark eyes seemed to still radiate resentment and anger.
"That old guy is finally dead."
Beside the bald man was a man in a feathered robe with a handsome face. He sighed and said, "He fought us for so long, and we killed him. It's a bargain for him!"
The bald man let out a cold harrumph.
The young man nodded slightly, seeming to agree with the bald man's words.
Then, the two men's gazes fell, looking down at the surging horde of demons devouring humans, their eyes calm and unperturbed.
"The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is thin, but it's strange that the humans, regardless of age or strength, all have a faint trace of spiritual energy within their flesh and blood." The bald man said, puzzled.
"What's so strange about that?"
"It's the will of heaven. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is thin, and these humans just happen to contain spiritual energy. It's only right that they become food for our demon clan to devour and cultivate." The man in the feathered robe chuckled and casually replied.
Hearing this, the bald man burst into laughter and responded, "Absolutely! Absolutely!"
"Now that we've taken over the two provinces of Great Jin, let our children feast on the humans, absorb their spiritual energy, and nourish themselves!"
As he finished speaking, the two demon saints exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.
"We've found the location!"
Just then, an aged voice sounded behind them.
They turned around, and in their gaze, they saw an old man in a Taoist robe with silver hair and a white beard.
The old man slowly opened his eyes and said with feigned calmness, "I've found the location of the remains of Ping Hai Grand Sage and Dao Tian Grand Sage!"
Hearing his words, the bald man and the man in the feathered robe immediately lit up with joy.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
The bald man, filled with excitement, tossed the head he was holding casually behind him.
However, just as he moved, about to reveal his true form, a large hand landed on his shoulder.
At the same time, a cold voice sounded, "Go? Where do you think you're going?"
The National Guardian Saint?!
The bald man's mind immediately conjured up the image of the National Guardian Saint, and he sneered, about to struggle free from the hand on his shoulder.
With three Demon Dens' Great Sages appearing, one Martial Saint had already been killed, and they wouldn't hesitate to kill another!
The man in the feathered robe and the old Taoist's faces also turned cruel.
"Ahhhh!"
Just then, a heart-wrenching scream shattered the atmosphere.
A huge hand pierced through the bald man's body, holding a heart that was still warm and beating!
Then, the five fingers closed.
Boom! The heart exploded, shattering instantly!
Scarlet blood splattered onto the ground.
The light in the bald man's eyes gradually dimmed.
Qin Zheng retracted his hand, grabbed the bald man's neck, and threw him behind him.
In an instant, the body transformed into a hundred-zhang giant elephant, smashing into the mountains of ruins, raising a cloud of dust.
A Demon Clan Great Sage had fallen!
Seeing this, the man in the feathered robe and the old Taoist didn't hesitate. They instantly soared into the sky, revealing their true forms and fleeing.
Qin Zheng didn't chase after the two Demon Saints but turned to look at the headless corpse below the cliff.
Then, he opened his mouth.
Zha!
In an instant, it was as if heavenly thunder had exploded, and a powerful, invisible mental shockwave swept through the surroundings! Every demon touched by this mental shock had their heads burst open.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosions continued, like firecrackers going off in rapid succession.
Even the two fleeing Demon Clan Great Sages were affected, their bodies staggering.
After doing all this, Qin Zheng finally turned to look at the distant headless corpse, its legs broken, kneeling like a statue.
Although he had never met the other party, the National Guardian Saint, who had guarded Great Jin for nearly a thousand years and fought to the death, had lived up to his name!
Qin Zheng walked forward.
At this moment, one hand was stained with blood, and the other held a head.
He approached the headless corpse and gently placed the head on its neck.
Then, he sent out a strand of Essence, allowing the broken parts to heal and reattaching the broken legs, restoring the body's integrity.
Only then did Qin Zheng speak, "Senior, may your journey be peaceful."
After saying this, he took a step back and vanished like a beam of light into the clouds!
