Chapter 197: Qin Zheng's Fortunate Treasure Land!
Chapter 197: Qin Zheng's Fortunate Treasure Land!
Great Jin, Xuan Province.
Located in the eastern part of Great Jin, it covers a vast area, with eighteen counties and a hundred cities within a single province.
Adjacent to Xuan Province is the equally sizable Jing Province.
Together, the two provinces encompass thirty-eight counties and hundreds of cities.
Such an expansive territory and numerous cities naturally nurture a massive population.
However, Xuan and Jing Provinces are not peaceful lands!
The region is filled with countless demons, and dangerous demon-infested mountains are everywhere. Beyond the provinces' borders, there are nearly twenty demon dens!
Even with the presence of the National Guardian Saint Mansion in Xuan Province, and the National Guardian Saint residing there, they rarely leave the mansion unless a demon clan saint invades from outside the provinces.
It is the responsibility of local demon slayers to deal with demon disturbances unless there is an external invasion.
Therefore, when the demon dens outside the provinces are quiet, the provincial generals of the two provinces are responsible for leading the demon-slaying and demon-extermination efforts within their respective territories.
But on this day.
Xuan Province, Ning'an City.
A tall figure in black, riding a demon-blooded warhorse, galloped all the way to the National Guardian Saint Mansion.
His face was filled with anxiety.
"Xuan Province General Deng Yunzhong, requesting an audience with the National Guardian Saint!"
He dismounted and took a step towards the National Guardian Saint Mansion, speaking up urgently.
But before he could finish his sentence, a large fan-like hand patted his shoulder lightly, and a voice sounded, "General Deng, why are you in such a panic?"
Deng Yunzhong's face turned pale instantly, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Then, a tall, dark-faced man appeared before him, mocking, "So flustered, you even forgot to bring your men. But don't worry, they're in my stomach right now, so they're with you."
"They were all calling your name as they died."
At these words, Deng Yunzhong's eyes turned crimson, his forehead veins bulged, and a beast-like roar escaped his throat.
Just as he was about to take action, a figure suddenly emerged from the National Guardian Saint Mansion, blocking his path.
"Why has the Moon Devouring Supreme Saint come to Great Jin?"
The visitor wore black armor and held a spear, exuding the aura of a half-step Martial Saint.
The dark-faced man showed disdain but responded, "I have some matters to discuss with Brother Gao. Take me to him quickly."
Hearing this, the half-step Martial Saint's expression remained unchanged, and he said directly, "Please enter the mansion, Moon Devouring Supreme Saint."
The dark-faced man nodded and, without looking at Deng Yunzhong, strode into the National Guardian Saint Mansion.
"Elder Mu!"
At this moment, Deng Yunzhong's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a low, mournful cry.
Mu Jinyan shook his head and, with a grave expression, followed the dark-faced man into the National Guardian Saint Mansion.
But at this moment, a voice filled with urgency echoed in Deng Yunzhong's mind, "Elder Gao has left Xuan Province. Seek help immediately!"
His face, red with anger, turned almost transparent in an instant.
A demon clan saint had entered Xuan Province, but there was no National Guardian Saint in the province at this moment!
This meant that Xuan Province was like a piece of meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of this demon clan saint!
Seek help!
They must summon a National Guardian Saint! Otherwise, if this old demon learns that Xuan and Jing Provinces are without a Martial Saint, an unpredictable catastrophe will surely unfold!
National Guardian Saint Mansion.
Meeting Hall.
The dark-faced man sat casually in the empty main seat, his gaze filled with contempt as he looked at Mu Jinyan, who had followed closely behind.
"Is Elder Gao not in Xuan Province?"
The man's eyebrows rose slightly, his tone ambiguous.
"Elder Gao has some matters to attend to, but he can return at any time. What brings the Moon Devouring Supreme Saint here? You can discuss it with me first, and I can make a temporary decision on Elder Gao's behalf."
Mu Jinyan's expression remained unchanged, and he maintained his composure, responding calmly.
The man scoffed and, without hesitation, said, "My wife has given birth, and she's feeling weak. I need the population of a city to replenish her energy."
"I've come this time to discuss with Brother Gao and see which city is most suitable."
"Since you claim to be able to make decisions on Brother Gao's behalf, then you can choose which city is best."
As he finished speaking, the man's lips curled slightly.
Mu Jinyan struggled to maintain his composure, his face turning red, and his veins bulging. He trembled slightly with anger, and his eyes seemed to burn with flames.
Damn it!
How infuriating!
His heart roared with frustration, but he could do nothing but suppress his anger.
If he provoked this demon at this moment, countless civilians in Xuan Province would suffer.
Seeing his reaction, the man burst into loud laughter.
He continued, "How about Distance Comfort City? The city has a population of nearly a million, which should be enough to restore my wife's energy."
Then, he shook his head, "No, Distance Comfort City is too far. Fixed Distance City is better, although it has a smaller population, it's closer to my Moon Devouring Demon Cavern."
". "
The man continued talking.
Mu Jinyan unable to listen any further, his mind filled with rage, his head buzzing, and his thoughts going blank.
Slap!
Right at that moment,
A clear set of footsteps sounded in his ears.
As if stepping on a certain node, it instantly interrupted the man's words.
"You go out for a moment."
Immediately, a large hand patted his shoulder lightly, and a calm voice came.
Mu Jinyan turned his head, and beside him, a young figure in a golden-embroidered black robe appeared out of nowhere.
"I..."
His expression flickered slightly as he looked at the young man, but he couldn't think of any of the Great Jin's eighteen National Guardian Saints who matched the person before him.
In the face of a Demon Clan Saint, aside from the National Guardian Saints, the rest would die if they came, and it would have no meaning.
"A newly promoted National Guardian Saint?"
At this moment, the man's voice interrupted Mu Jinyan's chaotic thoughts.
A newly promoted National Guardian Saint?! This person is the one who was promoted some days ago, the Great Jin's nineteenth National Guardian Saint?! In this moment, the tense string in his heart instantly relaxed.
Regardless of whether he was just promoted or not, as long as a National Guardian Saint appeared, everything would have a chance to turn around!
"Yes!"
So Mu Jinyan clenched his fist and nodded, then turned around without hesitation and walked out of the conference hall.
But before he left completely, he heard the Demon Clan Saint's voice again: "Are you taking over Gao's position?"
"How about this, Xuanzhou has a hundred cities, you give me fifty cities, and in this time, I won't come to disturb you."
This was the last sentence Mu Jinyan heard.
As he walked out of the conference hall, the door instantly closed tightly, sealing off the sound.
Immediately.
Boom! A loud rumble suddenly sounded.
The vast National Guardian Saint Mansion shook violently at this moment.
Mu Jinyan instantly turned around and looked towards the conference hall.
The source of the rumbling was the very conference hall he had just left!
Bang!
In his gaze, the roof of the conference hall suddenly opened, and a black-skinned dog demon flew out.
Whoosh!
Then, the figure in the golden-embroidered black robe rushed out, grabbed the dog demon, and soared into the sky.
Mu Jinyan stared at this scene in a daze.
As a half-step Martial Saint who had broken through the limits of the 'Martial', in this moment, he clearly felt that the dog demon's aura had already dropped to a level close to none!
So, this newly promoted National Guardian Saint, with just one encounter, had taken care of the Moon Devouring Saint!
This thought flashed through Mu Jinyan's mind.
His entire head buzzed, as if the happiness had come too suddenly, too fantastically, and he found it hard to believe.
"Elder Mu!"
At this moment, Deng Yunzhong, dressed in black robes, hurried towards him.
"I've already sent a message to the capital, and to the National Guardian Saint Mansions in Xuanzhou!"
He looked at the dazed Mu Jinyan, and his mind sank, so he hurriedly spoke.
The commotion in the National Guardian Saint Mansion earlier, he had also clearly felt, and he had seen the Moon Devouring Saint manifesting his true form and soaring into the sky.
Deng Yunzhong only thought that the other party had seen through the truth that Xuanzhou had no Martial Saints stationed there, and was about to leave to cause chaos.
But after he finished speaking, he saw Mu Jinyan in front of him, slowly shaking his head.
"Is it too late?!"
Deng Yunzhong's face turned pale, and he spoke with a bitter smile.
"No."
Mu Jinyan continued to shake his head, but this time, his voice was filled with joy.
"We don't need to go begging! The National Guardian Saint has arrived!!"
Boom! A streak of light flashed across the sky, causing a huge gust of wind to roar.
After reaching the uninhabited wilderness and mountains, a black shadow descended from the sky towards the ground below.
Boom!
The dog demon's body, several dozen zhang tall, fell to the ground, causing the earth to tremble.
Roar~
The dog demon's aura was weak, and blood flowed from its body, but its throat still emitted a low roar, trying to struggle to get up.
At this moment, a golden-robed figure slowly descended and came to the dog demon's front.
"Moon Devouring Saint, a thousand-year-old demon, your sins are as vast as the sky, killing you will gain 6,758 jin, 4 liang, and 3 qian of virtue!"
In the sea of consciousness, the virtue scroll trembled slightly, and a new line of text appeared.
As he sensed Qin Zheng's arrival, the dog demon's body trembled slightly, and he spoke with hatred: "If you dare to kill me, Xuanzhou will be destroyed in an instant!"
Qin Zheng's gaze calmly looked down at the dog demon.
Earlier, when he was in the human city, he directly disabled the dog demon with a punch, and after manifesting his true form, he might have crushed some buildings, causing panic among the people.
So, after disabling the dog demon with a punch, he directly carried him to this uninhabited place.
Ignoring the dog demon's threat, Qin Zheng spoke directly: "In the demon den where you reside, besides you, how many other Demon Clan Saints are there?"
After he finished speaking, the dog demon immediately let out a fierce laugh, and his eyes were full of violence.
"In my Moon Devouring Demon Den, besides me, there are three other Demon Clan Saints!"
"You'd better let me go, otherwise, the three Demon Clan Saints will crush your Great Jin's Xuanzhou!"
Before he could finish his last sentence, a sharp blade of light occupied his entire field of vision.
Boom! The huge dog's head fell to the ground.
Blood flowed like a river.
At this moment, Qin Zheng's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he muttered: "Three heads..."
