Chapter 151: Wanghai City

Looking at the book, an inexplicable palpitation rose in his heart.

Tap, tap, tap.

The Sand Scorpion jumped onto the shattered statue, its limbs poking on the statue and making a crisp sound.

Circling the mass of black gelatinous substance a few times, it jumped directly onto it and buried its head inside.

Qin Jiang smiled at this and picked up the old history to flip through.

Opening the first page, it was not text, but a map, looking like a map of the entire Shenzhou, with a dragon-shaped mark on the east coast, a slender figure on the north coast, and a mountain range in the south.

As for the west, there should have been something, but it was wiped out by a black patch.

The remaining places were the current Shenzhou, only there were no current seventeen kingdoms, only a Nightmare Beast totem covering all regions.

Continuing to flip, it recorded the establishment, growth, and glory of the Ancient Yu Kingdom until the last tenth, finally writing about some things he was familiar with, the origin of the Bronze City.

Flipping past a page, he didn't see why the Bronze City was built as he had hoped, but large black marks, seemingly covering up some secret.

However, from the unblocked words and phrases, one could also perceive that the establishment of the Bronze City back then involved the destruction of the Ancient Yu Kingdom.

And the destruction of the Ancient Yu Kingdom seemed not so simple, influenced by some external mysterious power.

Closing the book, suddenly a blue-black luster emerged, and a layer of blue-black flames ignited on the book, turning into a handful of black ash and dissipating in the blink of an eye.

Qin Jiang looked at the flying black ash with some surprise; just now he didn't feel any power remaining in the book.

Although he hadn't fought a True God yet, he had the confidence to escape from a True God.

As for not even being able to sense it, it must be a True Immortal without a doubt.

Shaking his head, he couldn't help but marvel; this True Immortal-level existence is truly powerful, after thousands of years of time, it could still make him unable to stop its means.

Crack, crack, crack.

A cracking sound came, Qin Jiang looked at the Nightmare Beast statue; the Sand Scorpion King had eaten all the black gelatinous substance and raised its front claws high.

Blue-black lines appeared on its body, spreading from the claws to the tail needle, and every time it spread a little, it made a cracking sound of bone armor.

Finally, the black-blue light line spread to the position of the tail needle, lighting up a dazzling blue-black luster, and the Sand Scorpion King's body gradually presented a blue-black semi-transparent state.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by an explosion, shattered armor fragments mixed with a trace of blood splashed out.

Qin Jiang's eyes tightened, looking at the Sand Scorpion King, only to see that the blue-black luster around the Sand Scorpion King had dissipated, and its body had changed its appearance, actually turning into a semi-transparent blue-black scorpion.

Especially the tail needle part, presenting a deep blue color that was almost shining.

It waved its front claws, as if waving at Qin Jiang.

Qin Jiang smiled, reached out his hand, and the Sand Scorpion King jumped directly onto his hand, becoming a bit cold compared to before.

The Sand Scorpion King burrowed into his sleeve, he looked around, and after nothing was left out, he soared directly into the sky.

Boom—! A fist print fell, earth and stone rolled up, burying this place again.

Several days later, outside the Yuan Prefecture city, a mighty motorcade was traveling toward the distance.

Qin Jiang sat in the carriage, waving at Xu Yanran, Qin Hong, and others who were seeing him off in the back.

After traveling several miles, the prefecture city had disappeared below the horizon, and he withdrew his body.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Qin and your Madam truly have deep feelings."

Opposite, Third Elder He Feiyun stroked his beard and smiled lightly.

He hadn't left the Changshou Sect for a long time, accustomed to a person's life, and now seeing Qin Jiang like this, it was inevitable to have some memories of the past.

Qin Jiang smiled upon hearing this, "Naturally, my Madam and I have come all the way, from a small city to a county city, and then to the current prefecture city, looking back now, those scenes are as if they were before my eyes."

Looking at the old man in front of him, he couldn't help but feel some emotion. If it weren't for Senior Brother Mu telling him, he wouldn't have noticed that the person in front of him was actually a demon. A crane demon who had cultivated for nearly a thousand years, under the baptism of the Changshou Sect's divine power, the demon aura on his body had almost dissipated.

Even if he was so close, he could only slightly perceive some strangeness.

If he were further away, separated by more than ten meters, he would probably have to investigate carefully to feel it.

"It's still good to be young, back then, I was also high-spirited, a heaven-defying talent of the Crane Clan," He Feiyun sighed.

Those past events are still like yesterday.

"Senior Brother He is not old now, in this land, hot-blooded things in old age are also common," Qin Jiang smiled.

He Feiyun smiled and shook his head, "Hot-blooded in old age is still a play, but this old man has already entered the soil with half his body, so I can't be hot-blooded anymore.

Speaking of which, for this border trip, I have to trouble Junior Brother to worry more."

Qin Jiang was a bit surprised upon hearing this, "Senior Brother has no confidence in this border war?"

"It doesn't count, it's just that I am now powerless, my combat power has slipped seriously, and I am not yet the opponent of that kid Jiang Yun, so I am afraid I am not qualified to guard the place. The main thing is to rely on you, Junior Brother."

He Feiyun said helplessly, if he were a hundred years younger, he would definitely lead the army to kill seven in and seven out.

But now... after seven in and seven out, I guess not even a hair would be left.

"This is natural," Qin Jiang smiled.

From the beginning, he didn't intend to let this border war last too long; as long as he collected enough potential points and raised several Divine Martial Arts to the True God realm, he would take the initiative to end this battle.

In his view, for the Xia Kingdom and the Huai Kingdom, the so-called army pressing on the border was just training.

As long as a few ruthless people could rise, dying tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops, for the Huai King, or even an Eighth-tier Divine Martial Artist like the Jinyu Pavilion Master, could not be counted as a serious loss.

No way, the world where great power belongs to oneself is like this.

In the past, the gap between martial artists was not too big, and it didn't feel obvious.

Nowadays, Divine Martial Artists are named after "God," and even if they are pseudo-gods, they are truly existences possessing some divine power.

Just like the underground secret chamber he smashed out, if it were an ordinary person, even if given decades or a hundred years, they wouldn't be able to build it.

Even for a Secret Martial Artist, it would take a long time to get it out.

Such a gap is almost impossible to make up for with quantity.

"Sect Master, Elder, Wanghai City has arrived."

The voice came from outside the carriage, Qin Jiang opened his eyes, lifted the carriage curtain, and a huge black city appeared in his sight.

This was the number one city in the Eastern Border, Wanghai City, which had stood for a thousand years and dominated the eastern border of the Xia Kingdom.

Looking from afar, in Qin Jiang's vision, he could faintly see an invisible air mass floating above the huge city.

"Did you feel it? That is the manifestation of the will of countless Xia Kingdom soldiers who died in battle here, forcibly gathered by the Xia Emperor Chuzu back then with great means, so that it would not dissipate between heaven and earth.

And used this to build the Wanghai City's city-protecting artifact, the Sea-Calming Pearl, which complements this cloud of will, and while nourishing the cloud of will, it can also improve the quality of the Sea-Calming Pearl."

He Feiyun said, memories rising in his eyes.

Back then, he had also fought here, and at that time he was not yet a Demon King.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, he had already felt that strange power, it should be the Sea-Calming Pearl.

Looking at the city gate ahead, there were many people, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Senior Brother He, I'll go one step ahead, leave these people to you."

After saying that, his figure disappeared.

Lumbar disc herniation, actually told me to have surgery, really convinced.
