Chapter 88: The Matter Here is Settled, I'll Take You to See the Commander-in-Chief!
Qingzhou, Yongle Prefecture, Xuan'en Prefecture.
Within a grand mansion, flowers bloomed in abundance, with artificial hills and flowing water.
In the middle of a pavilion, a tall and robust man with a blood-red abdomen knelt before a woman.
"Useless!"
The atmosphere remained silent for an unknown duration before the woman slowly spoke, coldly uttering two words.
The big man's body trembled, afraid to say another word, fearing to provoke her further.
"A divine archer, two grandmasters, and on top of that, you, a great demon at the King Demon Realm, couldn't even deal with a country bumpkin!"
"You say... they're all dead, so what use is there in keeping you alive?"
The woman's voice continued, and the chill in her final words was enough to pierce one's bones.
The man, transformed by the Eagle Sovereign, suddenly raised his head, looking at the woman before him with an icy expression, and spoke with fear, "Young Lady of the Clan! This time, I was careless!"
"It was because I underestimated that boy's archery skills. Give me one more chance, and I'll definitely bring his head back!"
He quickly pleaded for mercy from the woman.
The Eagle Demon, at the King Demon Realm, trembled in front of the woman at this moment, as if he were a little chick!
The woman remained silent for a moment, then spoke, "This is your last chance. If you can't kill him, don't bother coming back."
The Eagle Sovereign's eyes lit up instantly, and he assured her, "Young Lady, rest assured. This time, I will definitely kill that boy!"
The woman didn't respond but slowly extended her hand, handing a small jade sword to the Eagle Sovereign, and said, "This sword talisman contains a strand of my father's sword aura."
"This time, I won't tolerate failure!"
The Eagle Sovereign's expression turned ecstatic as he saw the sword talisman.
At this moment, his confidence soared to the utmost.
He quickly nodded, "Young Lady, rest assured! With this sword talisman from the Grandmaster, even if Qin Li Hu is right before me, I can kill him too!"
"Mm, go."
The woman spoke.
The Eagle Sovereign quickly stood up, then left the pavilion, revealing his demon body and flying into the sky.
At the original spot, the woman's eyes were filled with coldness.
Having killed her son, he must pay the price!
My son, Wu Sheng, if your father doesn't avenge you, your mother will!
Hya! Hya!
Two spirited horses galloped along the road, kicking up dust.
On one of the horses was Wang Weiqian, clad in armor and wielding a halberd.
And on the other horse was Qin Zheng, carrying a great saber and a great bow.
After delivering the orders at the government office, Wang Weiqian didn't rest for a moment. He grabbed Qin Zheng and hurried towards Cold Avoidance Spring.
The Grand General had been severely injured in his battle with the Ancient Dragon, and it was uncertain how long he could hold on.
Wang Weiqian dared not delay, and without explaining the situation to Qin Zheng, he took him straight to Cold Avoidance Spring.
Thinking of this, Wang Weiqian's eyes grew solemn.
The Ancient Dragon was undergoing a transformation towards the Sage Demon Realm, and its strength was growing stronger. If the stalemate continued, even the Grand General might not be able to capture it.
The Grand General must have realized this too and was planning for a final battle!
The reason for sending Qin Zheng to Cold Avoidance Spring was likely due to his formidable and powerful strength, as well as his terrifying killing intent towards demons.
The Eagle Sovereigns on Mount Cangfeng and Mount Must Not Exist, when they said to kill, they killed.
With such a presence, their deterrence towards the demons on the Four Directions Mountain at Cold Avoidance Spring would be stronger than that of Wang Weiqian and Liu Mingyi.
There was no other way; although they could also manage to kill the demons on a mountain, they couldn't do it as swiftly and decisively as Qin Zheng.
Moreover, with various concerns, they had never done such a thing before.
Now that Qin Zheng had taken action, his deterrence towards the demons would be stronger than that of the deputy generals.
This was Wang Weiqian's guess.
Otherwise, the Grand General wouldn't have asked him to help slay that Ancient Dragon, would he?
Wang Weiqian thought to himself.
At this moment, Qin Zheng's mind was also filled with various thoughts, and his eyes gleamed with determination.
Just a moment ago, he had been thinking about finding a bowstring that met his requirements.
And the next moment, Wang Weiqian arrived at the government office, sending him to Cold Avoidance Spring!
The Ancient Dragon at Cold Avoidance Spring was the only dragon demon in Huai'an Prefecture, and it was about to undergo a transformation, ascending to the Sage Demon Realm!
Most of the strength of the N Character Camp was restrained by this dragon demon.
If he could obtain the dragon sinew of this dragon demon as a bowstring, his combat power would likely increase further.
With a bowstring drawn by 20,000 jin of force, the arrows shot from it would be difficult for anyone under the heavens to resist.
At least, Wang Weiqian, the deputy general of the N Character Camp, would be unable to block it.
Qin Zheng thought to himself, and he couldn't help but glance at Wang Weiqian.
Sensing his gaze, Wang Weiqian turned his attention back to Qin Zheng and said, "The situation at Cold Avoidance Spring is a bit tense. You need to be prepared to suppress the demons."
Suppressing demons was, of course, the simplest task for Qin Zheng.
He nodded and asked, "How strong is that Ancient Dragon, General Wang?"
To be honest, in the battle at Mount Cangfeng, aside from the Eagle Sovereign at the King Demon Realm, the rest of the demons were easily slain without much effort.
And since the Eagle Sovereign was flying in the sky, Qin Zheng's great bow limited his ability to fully exert his strength.
Now, facing an upcoming battle with a demon at the King Demon Realm, he was eager for a fight.
Wang Weiqian didn't notice Qin Zheng's thoughts; he assumed that Qin Zheng simply wanted to understand the strength of the Ancient Dragon at Cold Avoidance Spring.
Qin Zheng pondered for a moment, his expression turning grave as he spoke, "The old Dragon is currently undergoing a transformative phase, and its strength is increasing daily."
"You know that in the same realm, demons are generally weaker than humans, but that's only in reference to ordinary demons."
"But in the case of Dragon Demons, which possess a trace of Dragon blood and have the potential to transform into True Dragons, they can be even stronger than humans!"
"The old Dragon in Cold Avoidance Spring is already a Demon King on par with a human Grand Grandmaster. With its impending transformation, its strength will surpass even that of the Grand General."
"That's why the Grand General hastily summoned you to Cold Avoidance Spring; he has decided to take action and capture the old Dragon, leaving it no more time or opportunities."
"So, when you arrive, there's a high chance of a major battle erupting!"
Wang Weiqian's voice was filled with gravity.
Qin Zheng, on the other hand, keenly latched onto the words 'True Dragon'.
His eyebrows lifted slightly as he asked, "Do true dragons really exist in this world?"
Despite having encountered numerous demons, the concept of true dragons still seemed like something out of a mythical tale to Qin Zheng.
Soaring through the skies, roaming the four seas, commanding the powers of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.
Upon hearing Qin Zheng's question, Wang Weiqian was momentarily taken aback, as if he hadn't realized the focus of Qin Zheng's curiosity.
However, he quickly nodded and continued, "While true dragons may not exist, there are indeed dragon serpents."
"The old Dragon in Cold Avoidance Spring is currently in the process of transforming into a dragon serpent."
"Moreover, in the largest river in Qingzhou, the Cangyuan River, there's an ancient dragon serpent of immense power. It's under the direct control of the Commander-in-Chief."
At these words, Qin Zheng nodded slightly, his eyes narrowing as his thoughts raced. He then fell silent.
Seeing that Qin Zheng had stopped speaking, Wang Weiqian also fell silent, and for a moment, the only sound was the galloping of their horses as they raced towards Cold Avoidance Spring.
After several hours, the two finally arrived at the N Character Camp, which was stationed near Cold Avoidance Spring.
Dismounting, Qin Zheng's gaze was first drawn to the lush greenery of Cold Avoidance Spring.
There, his eyebrows twitched, and a sense of danger emerged, as if warning him of a threat to his life within.
The ability of a demon to threaten a Grand Grandmaster was indeed impressive! Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed.
He then retracted his gaze, turned, and followed Wang Weiqian into a tent within the camp.
A faint scent of blood wafted from within, different from the thick demon blood scent outside. This was the scent of human blood! But this human blood scent was forcibly suppressed, making it extremely faint.
With Qin Zheng's heightened senses, he immediately detected this scent upon entering! He looked towards the source and saw a man in black robes, his face resolute, eyebrows like swords. The man sat upright in the tent, his gaze also fixed on Qin Zheng.
The scent of human blood was indeed coming from this man! Could it be that the Grand Grandmaster guarding Huai'an Prefecture had been severely injured?
"Grand General, Qin Zheng has arrived!" Wang Weiqian stepped forward and saluted Qin Li Hu.
"You've worked hard," Qin Li Hu nodded and acknowledged.
He then turned his gaze to Qin Zheng and said, "General Wang informed me that he had discovered a rough diamond, and we need to bring them into our N Character Camp as soon as possible. I wanted to meet you."
"Unfortunately, I'm restricted here, guarding this old Dragon, and cannot leave."
"Not long after, I heard news of you slaying a mountain demon and intimidating the demons within Huai'an Prefecture. Your talent is even more impressive than I imagined!"
A faint smile appeared on Qin Li Hu's face.
Qin Zheng immediately saluted, "Grand General, you flatter me!"
Qin Li Hu shook his head with a smile and continued, "Once this matter is resolved, I'll take you to meet the Commander-in-Chief."
Upon hearing this, not only Qin Zheng but even Wang Weiqian was momentarily stunned.
The Commander-in-Chief!
He was the one who oversaw the military affairs of an entire province, holding the same status as the Governor of the Province!"
Moreover, he was the most influential figure among the demon slayers in Qingzhou, the one rumored to be just half a step away from the Martial Sage realm!
The implication of Qin Li Hu introducing Qin Zheng to the Commander-in-Chief was clear.
He intended to entrust Qin Zheng's cultivation to the Commander-in-Chief!
"Grand General," Wang Weiqian opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
The Commander-in-Chief already had many talented individuals, including the most gifted in Qingzhou.
But their N Character Camp was currently weak, and they needed someone like Qin Zheng to bolster their ranks!
Qin Zheng's eyes shone with determination. For him, it didn't matter much where he went.
As long as there was powerful martial arts and opportunities to collect merit, even returning to Black Goose City wouldn't be an issue.
But at this moment, he could sense that this N Character Camp Grand General genuinely cared for the camp and wanted to nurture Qin Zheng's talents.
Qin Li Hu waved his hand, stopping Wang Weiqian from speaking further. "Enough, let's not say more. Go and rest."
"Tomorrow at noon, I'll be heading to Cold Avoidance Spring to slay the demon!"
