Chapter 76: Entering the N Character Camp, Fame Spreads Across Qingzhou!
Chapter 76: Entering the N Character Camp, Fame Spreads Across Qingzhou!
Qingzhou consists of twelve counties.
Huai'an County governs three prefectures and sixteen cities.
Black Goose City is a border county town under Huai'an County.
At this moment, due to the battle between Qin Zheng and the two Grandmasters, the northern half of Black Goose City has been reduced to ruins.
The terrifying scene and the loud noises that preceded it have left the entire city's populace too terrified to take a single step towards the north.
In front of a ruin in the northern part of the city, two figures sit casually.
"Those civilians have been safely escorted down the mountain, and our forces have sealed off Mount Imagination. We're preparing to launch a cleanup operation."
"I hurriedly checked on the Eagle Lord, and it seems he sensed your actions and has already left."
Wang Weiqian slowly briefed Qin Zheng on the situation at Mount Imagination.
Qin Zheng nodded. Before leaving, he had shot down a large eagle with an arrow, perhaps alerting the Eagle Lord to the danger, causing it to depart ahead of time.
"Gao Wusheng's actions are outrageous, feeding humans to demons. By killing him this time, even the Quanyang Gao Clan won't dare say anything."
"The Great Jin is still under the rule of the Royal Family, not the Quanyang Gao Clan. After joining the N Character Camp, you won't have to worry on the surface."
"But..."
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, understanding the hidden meaning in the other's words.
While there might be no concerns on the surface, who knows if the Quanyang Gao Clan or the Gao State Governor will make a move in secret!
After all, no matter how useless or despicable Gao Wusheng is, he's still of the Gao Clan's bloodline and the Governor's own son.
He won't let the murder of his son go unavenged!
So, it's highly likely that on the surface, he won't pursue this matter.
But in secret, he might send powerful assassins to eliminate Qin Zheng!
Wang Weiqian's words were a reminder to Qin Zheng.
"Regardless, after joining the N Character Camp, you should first recover from your injuries and then proceed to open your Life Wheel, advancing to the Grandmaster Realm."
"I never imagined that with your formidable strength, you're only at the Bone Refinement Realm and haven't even opened your Life Wheel!"
"Your physical prowess is truly astonishing!"
As Wang Weiqian spoke, he looked at Qin Zheng, whose aura was somewhat low, and his eyes still held uncontrollable shock.
At the Bone Refinement Realm, wielding ten thousand jin of strength!
Entering the Demon Mountain, killing the Demon Lord, returning to the county town, slaying the human traitor, and battling Grandmasters!
These feats don't seem like something a Bone Refinement Realm cultivator could accomplish.
Wang Weiqian couldn't associate these accomplishments with a Bone Refinement Realm cultivator! From the moment he first heard about this person from Situ Qing, he instinctively believed that the individual was a young and powerful Grandmaster.
This was why he personally came to Mount Imagination.
Such exceptional talent couldn't be easily overlooked.
When he first saw the person in the mountain, he was also pressured by their aura and couldn't accurately gauge if they were truly at the Grandmaster Realm.
But now, after everything that had happened, and with the person's aura subsiding...
He was shocked to discover that this young man hadn't even opened his Life Wheel!
He was still a Bone Refinement Realm cultivator!
This even caused Wang Weiqian to doubt his own senses.
Could it be that he had misjudged the situation?
Exceptional talents are one in a hundred!
Talents like Qin Zheng, with innate divine strength, are one in ten thousand!
At least among the twelve military camps in Qingzhou, such talents are extremely rare!
But whenever one appears, they are either recruited by the Commander-in-Chief or taken in by stronger camps like the Jia Character Camp or the Yi Character Camp.
Without exception, these individuals become renowned demon slayers in Qingzhou.
The most famous among them, though still at the Grandmaster Realm, already possesses combat strength rivaling that of a Great Grandmaster!
It is said that he aims to challenge the weakest of the Ten Generals and become the new Great General, leading a mighty army!
This time, the N Character Camp has finally acquired such a talented cultivator!
Once he opens his Life Wheel and officially enters the Grandmaster Realm, his strength will likely multiply several times over!
At that point, Qin General's burden will be alleviated, allowing him some respite.
In recent years, the demon scourge has worsened, yet the Great Jin has yet to produce a new National Guardian Martial Saint.
Wang Weiqian's thoughts wandered at this moment, slowly unfolding.
Seeing his dazed expression, Qin Zheng thought for a moment and said, "When I fought those two earlier, their strength was initially suppressed by me."
"But later, after strange sounds emanated from their bodies, their power suddenly surged, nearly overwhelming me."
"Do you know why this happened?"
This was the most puzzling aspect for Qin Zheng at the moment.
Initially, he had planned to keep the two Grandmasters sent by the Gao Clan here.
But later, when they suddenly surged in power, they nearly overpowered him.
Even after he advanced his Bodhi Wisdom Technique to the thirteenth layer, he could only manage a stalemate against the two Grandmasters.
Thus, he had to abandon the idea of keeping them.
However, this left a lingering doubt in Qin Zheng's heart.
Since embarking on the martial path, he had always relied on his strength, crushing all obstacles in his way.
Whether it was the Black Demon Palm Wei Feng, the leader of the Golden Cicada Gang, Stone Dian, or the bandit chief Zhang Xiowen, the half-demon Impermanence Monk, the Human Clan Grandmaster Li Ye, or various other demons.
Action: The two Grandmasters suffered a setback at the hands of Qin Shaoxia, which is naturally unpleasant.
Upon hearing this, Wang Weiqian's eyes widened, and he burst into laughter without regard for his image.
After laughing for a few breaths, he finally calmed down and exclaimed, "Those two old dogs were forced to this extent by Qin Shaoxia!"
Seeing Qin Zheng's puzzled look, he explained, "The human life wheel is located in the sea of suffering within the dantian, like a spring that continuously generates vital energy. The strength of a Grandmaster depends on this life wheel."
"According to what you said, those two old dogs used a secret method to squeeze the life wheel, temporarily enhancing their overall abilities."
"However, after some time, they will enter a prolonged period of weakness, and only by replenishing a large amount of vital energy can they barely recover."
"This is a way to squeeze one's potential, and even after recovery, the life wheel will be affected, making it unfavorable for advancement."
"The fact that they resorted to this method indicates that they were truly helpless against you and could only take the risk."
Only then did Qin Zheng nod in understanding.
But why didn't Li Ye use this method at that time?
If he had burst out like that, I might not have been able to defeat him.
He immediately asked this question.
Wang Weiqian's eyes twinkled with a mysterious smile, "All martial arts, whether external or internal, or any secret methods, are hidden within the aristocratic families and sects."
"Those two relied on the Gao Clan, so they possessed this secret method, and not every Grandmaster knows it."
Seeing Qin Zheng nodding in understanding, Wang Weiqian's eyes flickered, and he continued, "We Demon Slayers have the backing of the entire Great Jin, so our martial arts secrets, spirit pills, and medicines are as numerous as cow hair!"
"Qin Shaoxia, with your merits, will certainly be able to exchange them for an extremely powerful martial art upon entering the N Character Camp!"
"You might even be able to exchange it for a great pill containing vital energy!"
"With this, you can quickly advance to the Grandmaster realm and face the Gao Clan's hidden arrows with more composure."
After all, even if Gao Wusheng is of the Gao Clan's bloodline, it's unlikely they would deploy a Great Grandmaster to pursue and kill Qin Zheng, right?
There are only a few dozen Great Grandmasters in an entire state.
into the world of martial arts secrets and the power dynamics within the Great Jin. Qin Zheng's decision to join the N Character Camp seems to be his best choice.
Firstly, with the backing of the Great Jin, he can protect himself and not be openly attacked by the Gao Clan.
Secondly, with resources, as long as he slays demons, he can accumulate merits and exchange them for resources.
Of course, these are not the main reasons why Qin Zheng decided to join the N Character Camp.
After all, when Situ Qing invited him to join, he had already refused.
What made him waver was Wang Weiqian's timely intervention.
Without hesitation, he stood by Qin Zheng's side, and even when the two Gao Clan Grandmasters threatened, he did not back down.
He directly presented the personal edict from the Grand General of the N Character Camp and firmly stood his ground.
For Qin Zheng, this world was a strange and unfamiliar place.
He didn't know many people here, and he felt lonely.
Ever since he came to this world, everything he did was alone.
If he could find a group of like-minded companions in the N Character Camp, who shared the goal of slaying demons and eliminating evil, it would be a good thing.
Qin Zheng thought to himself.
Seeing his silence, Wang Weiqian didn't say more.
Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually brightened, illuminating Black Goose City.
As the Demon Slayer Commander from Mount Imagination entered Black Goose City, Situ Qing and the others witnessed the ruins in the northern part of the city and were shocked.
After learning the details, their gaze towards Qin Zheng became even more reverent.
His joining the N Character Camp was undoubtedly a thrilling and uplifting event for the entire camp!
The news of Gao Wusheng's death, a member of the Quanyang Gao Clan's bloodline and the eighth son of the Gao State Governor, spread even faster and more widely than the evil deeds he had committed. It piqued everyone's interest.
Although Qin Lihu of the N Character Camp claimed responsibility for Gao Wusheng's death, a name couldn't be hidden from those who were paying attention.
Qin Zheng, the one who exterminated the demons of Mount Imagination and stood against the two Gao Clan Grandmasters without defeat, slaying Gao Wusheng before them—this name quickly spread throughout Qingzhou.
Countless people began to pay attention to this emerging name.
At this moment, Qin Zheng immersed his mind in his sea of consciousness, examining the contents of the merit scroll.
[Qin Zheng]
[Lifespan: 70 (17)]
[Martial Arts: Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique (13th Layer), Secret Tibetan Consciousness Spirit Art (Minor Success)]

[Current Martial Art: Secret Tibetan Consciousness Spirit Art can be refined, requiring 1 jin of merit. Do you want to refine it?]

Qin Zheng's eyes widened in surprise.
