Chapter 200: Strike First! The Wei Clan Elder's Plea for Help
Chapter 200: Strike First! The Wei Clan Elder's Plea for Help
National Guardian Saint Mansion.
Inside the Council Hall.
The atmosphere fell into a momentary silence.
"How many?"
After a few breaths, Qin Zheng slightly lowered his head, his voice calm.
"A million."
Mu Jinyan's eyes reddened slightly, but he could only truthfully report.
A million lives of their kind, exchanged for a highly possible Upper Rank Grand Sage-level demonic being, who would not step into Great Jin's territory for a hundred years.
Is it worth it?
From the perspective of the entire Great Jin populace, it is indeed worth it.
After all, a highly possible Upper Rank Grand Sage-level existence, if it were to step into Great Jin's territory, the casualties would no longer be counted in millions, but would be even more severe.
But for those million humans, this is extremely cruel and ruthless.
They viewed their revered National Guardian Saint as if he were treating them like pigs and dogs, feeding them to the demons, becoming food for the demons!
How cruel!
How hopeless!
Qin Zheng remained silent, and under his calm demeanor, it was impossible to discern his true thoughts.
"Elder Qin, do you think we should start counting and gathering the population?"
Mu Jinyan looked at Qin Zheng, tentatively speaking slowly.
If they angered the other party, and an Upper Rank Grand Sage-level demon stepped into Xuan Province, the newly appointed Martial Saint, Elder Qin, might not be able to handle it.
"No need."
Qin Zheng spoke.
Immediately after, in Mu Jinyan's gaze, he saw the new National Guardian Saint slowly stand up.
Step by step, he walked out of the Council Hall.
At the same time, a voice commanded, "Gather and report all the information about the demon lairs that have invaded Great Jin in the past hundred years."
Without waiting for Mu Jinyan to respond, he suddenly soared into the sky.
"Yes!"
Mu Jinyan stared at this scene, responding in a daze.
From Elder Qin's tone, he already understood what the other party wanted to do.
I
But will this work?
C
These two questions lingered in his mind.
He had thought that he would stop the new National Guardian Saint, as once the balance was broken, there would likely be a heavy price to pay.
But his entire being felt a sense of excitement and expectation that he had never experienced before!
Even his blood began to surge, and his soul began to tremble.
He understood that this was excitement and anticipation!
The long-awaited roar of hope to thoroughly wash away the humiliation and despair of a thousand years!
"Good!"
So, he nodded heavily, then immediately turned and left the Council Hall to organize the information.
And from this day on.
A figure clad in a Golden Patterned Black Robe appeared repeatedly in various demon-infested mountains and dangerous areas of Xuan and Jing Provinces.
One by one, the powerful demons were swiftly eliminated and killed.
E
So, to have a better grasp of the situation and resolve the potential crisis,
He could only quickly improve himself!
First, he would sweep away all the demons in the two provinces, turning them into resources for his advancement, and then he would leave Great Jin to destroy the demon lairs!
"A National Guardian Saint, how dare you bully us like this!"
In the rivers, a dragon demon roared in resentment.
[Qinghe Dragon, a sin-laden eater of human flesh, killing it will bring 327 jin, 4 liang, and 3 qian of virtue.]
"With your actions, can you protect one state, let alone the entire Great Jin?!"
In the depths of the mountains, a Mountain Lord roared in anger.
[Dongshan Tiger Demon, a sinner with countless crimes, killing it will bring 271 jin, 6 liang, and 8 qian of virtue.]
Under Qin Zheng's purge, within just a few days, all the powerful demons in Xuan and Jing Provinces were completely eradicated.
The demon slayers of the two provinces, upon learning of this situation, were all stunned into silence for a long time.
A few days later.
Xuan Province, Peace City, National Guardian Saint Mansion.
Qin Zheng's figure descended from the sky, returning to the Council Hall.
"Elder Qin, here is what you requested."
Mu Jinyan had been waiting here.
Qin Zheng nodded, took the book handed by Mu Jinyan, and immediately opened it to browse through.
He did not want to disrupt the balance at this moment, so he must have a just cause for his actions."
[Great Jin Hongyuan Year 21, the Heavenborn Demon Lair's demons invaded Xuan Province, causing 12,000 casualties.]
[Great Jin Hongyuan Year 27, the Ten Thousand Springs Demon Lair's demons invaded Jing Province, causing 38,000 casualties.]
[Great Jin Hongyuan Year 81, the Purple Sun Demon Lair's demons invaded Xuan Province, causing 65,000 casualties.]
[Great Jin Hongyuan Year 121, the Heavenly Prosperity Demon Lair's demons invaded Xuan Province, causing 113,000 casualties.]
Qin Zheng's eyes grew colder as he scanned the information listed on the pages.
Beneath each line of text was a story of a cruel and vicious demon disaster!
After finishing the last page, Qin Zheng slightly closed his eyes, and the names of various demon lairs appeared in his mind.
"Elder Qin, there are also two letters here."
At this moment, Mu Jinyan's voice sounded again, and Qin Zheng opened his eyes, taking the letters from him.
"A letter from Chuzhou, neighboring Xuan Province."
"Another from Bone City."
Mu Jingyan spoke with some trepidation, his entire being trembling slightly as he mentioned the second letter.
"Okay."
Qin Zheng nodded calmly and opened the letter from Chuzhou first.
'The Demon Den outside Chuzhou is stirring, and I alone cannot hold it back. The capital's pleas for aid have gone unanswered. If you have the strength, I implore you to assist.'
The letter was signed by Wei Yunfeng.
Qin Zheng's eyes flickered. This must be the Wei Clan's ancestor, and he was right beside him.
The Demon Den stirs.
Qin Zheng put away the letter and then opened the one from Bone City.
The paper was filled with dense writing, but the overall message was a warning to Qin Zheng.
The Moon Devouring Demon Cave incident has been noticed by Bone City and many other Demon Dens.
Now, a century has passed, and if Qin Zheng honors the agreement, maintaining the status quo and ceding the population of ten cities in Xuan Province, they will let it go.
But if Qin Zheng breaks the agreement, Demon Saints will enter, causing chaos.
However, Bone City will also give Qin Zheng a month to make his decision.
Reading the letter, Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, without a ripple of emotion.
With a light squeeze, the paper ignited, turning to ashes within breaths.
Simultaneously, he put down the booklet and turned to Mu Jingyan, saying, "I'll be going to Chuzhou for a while, and I'll return soon."
"Also, while I'm away, keep a close eye on the movements of the Demon Dens outside Xuan Province. If there's any anomaly, send word to the National Guardian Saint Mansion in Chuzhou immediately, and I'll come as soon as possible."
After speaking, he nodded at Mu Jingyan and left without further delay.
With the crisis at hand, the appearance of a reckless Demon Clan Saint was an opportunity Qin Zheng couldn't pass up.
He left the Council Hall and soared towards Chuzhou.
Chuzhou Border.
Two fox demons loomed on a mountain, their massive tails swaying as if capable of blotting out the sun.
The aura of a Demon Clan Saint emanated from the two fox demons without restraint."
On the other side, a figure stood defiantly, clad in Mountain Pattern Armor and wielding a Phoenix Wing Golden Halberd, from which a torrent of killing intent surged.
"Old Wei, how long can your old bones hold out?"
"The Great Jin Dynasty court is ready to abandon Chuzhou. Why persist?"
"If you leave now, you might live a hundred years in the Great Jin capital, enjoying your twilight years. But if you continue to stalemate with us..."
"You old fellow will only end up buried here, becoming our food!"
The two fox demons spoke in unison, one after the other.
Wei Yunfeng's hair and beard were white, but his posture showed no signs of frailty.
"Hmph! Want to eat me?"
"Let's see who eats whom!"
The Phoenix Wing Golden Halberd erupted with dazzling golden light, and like a streak of lightning, it lunged towards the two great demons.
Boom!
Mountains crumbled, and boulders shattered.
But the two fox demons had already leaped to another mountain, evading the attack.
Cornered beasts fight harder, and Wei Yunfeng was a National Guardian Saint.
Despite his waning lifespan, in this life-or-death struggle, he could still unleash formidable power.
The two fox demons were merely testing the waters, not intending to kill Wei Yunfeng immediately.
After all, with their long lifespans, they could afford to wait. This old fellow didn't seem to have long left, and they could slowly wear him down.
The two fox demons exchanged glances, then turned to Wei Yunfeng.
"Old Wei, we bid you farewell. We'll see you again in a few days."
They spoke and prepared to return to the Demon Territory.
A hint of annoyance flashed across Wei Yunfeng's aged face, but he could only watch helplessly as the two fox demons departed.
He was too old, no longer possessing the vigor of his youth.
These Demon Clan Saints took turns provoking him daily, never truly attacking, draining his mental strength.
He didn't know how much longer he could hold on.
Swish! Swish!
Just as he was thinking this, two streaks of light burst out from his left and right, swiftly catching up to the two fox demons.
Hiss!
The light pierced their flesh, and blood and flesh splattered as it emerged.
The two fox demons howled in pain, their eyes filled with rage.
Instantly, they turned around.
Their fury surged, and they were determined to make the old man pay with his life.
But as the two fox demons turned, a fist imprint that seemed capable of shattering heaven and earth filled their entire vision!
Boom! Boom!
The fox heads exploded, blood and flesh flying.
The massive demon bodies collapsed, shaking the ground.
Qin Zheng retracted his attack with indifference. With a thought, the two streaks of light darted into the fox demons' corpses, extracting two demon cores that fell into his palms.
Wei Yunfeng stared at the scene, dumbfounded.
"Any more?"
Qin Zheng turned to the old man and asked.
