Chapter 157

"You know? Who is this child?" Fushan asked.

He was very puzzled; he had met all the important people of the Longevity Sect, and this child was clearly not one of them.

Since the Jinyu Pavilion Master knew such a person, why hadn't he recruited them back then? The Red Phoenix Division Master's eyes flashed with blood-red light, "Please, Pavilion Master, tell us."

Her eyes were filled with killing intent; no matter who it was, anyone who dared to kill Tianfeng had to die!

"They are that person from Ning'an City, the one who, as a Secret Martial Artist, crossed the Divine Martial chasm to crush my avatar, named Qin Jiang," said the Jinyu Pavilion Master.

"Qin Jiang? Is that the new Deputy Sect Master of the Longevity Sect?" Fushan asked.

The Jinyu Pavilion Master nodded, "Exactly. This child's strength cannot be underestimated. After the Ning'an war ended last time, I had intended to find an opportunity to intercept and kill them personally, but this child's movements were erratic, and afterward, I was kept in check by the Longevity Sect Master, which allowed them to enter the Longevity Sect."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel some regret; had he known, he should have ignored that Longevity Sect Master and charged into Ning'an with his true body! Fushan shook his head indifferently; to him, these were just trivial matters.

If that Immortal Ancestor of the Xia Kingdom was truly senile, he, the Huai Country Immortal Ancestor, would strike with thunderous force and lock in the victory directly.

Even if the Xia Kingdom's Immortal Ancestor could hold on for some time, as long as he and Huai Wang could kill the Xia Emperor or Ye Marshal, they would have already won seventy percent of the war between the two countries.

A mere few hundred thousand troops and some Divine Martial artists were nothing more than a skin disease to him.

"How about this: I will transfer a seventh-rank Divine Martial artist from the Rong Country border army here, and the three of you will join forces to take Wanghai City," he said.

The Jinyu Pavilion Master pondered for a moment; although he really wanted to take action alone, for the sake of the Huai Country's grand plan, it was better to be safe.

Whether facing someone stronger or weaker than himself, he would always try to overestimate the opponent.

"Fine, I will retrieve the Jinyu Seal, and when the time comes, we will slaughter Wanghai City and Huiyun City to pay tribute to the deceased!" he said.

The Red Phoenix Division Master's expression changed slightly. The Jinyu Seal was the peak artifact that the Prince had bestowed upon the Jinyu Pavilion Master back then; it was far more powerful than her Phoenix Blood Sword! This was also the reason why the other party was able to break through to the eighth-rank Divine Martial realm.

"Then I wish you a triumphant return. However, before that, there is one more thing the two of you need to do," Fushan smiled.

Wanghai City, County Government Office.

Qin Jiang sat opposite He Feiyun and the County Magistrate Guo Xiu.

"Although the Huai Country army failed this time, it doesn't mean we are safe. In my opinion, within three months, the Huai Country will launch a larger-scale attack," said He Feiyun.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "Strengthen patrols during this period. How is the matter of reporting to the sect and transferring people from elsewhere going?"

He Feiyun's expression changed slightly, and he shook his head with a grimace, "There aren't many Divine Martial artists left in Yuan Prefecture, and we still have to prevent Huai Country spies from causing trouble in other places."

"What about other prefectures?" Qin Jiang asked.

"The Imperial Capital is already negotiating, and the Governor seems to have the intention of coming over," He Feiyun sighed.

In fact, their Longevity Sect had more Divine Martial artists than the Huai Country army that had been mobilized this time.

But there was no help for it; they were the defending side and couldn't gather all their Divine Martial artists in one place.

But the Huai army was different; they could mobilize several Divine Martial artists to attack one location.

Like today, if it weren't for Qin Jiang rushing between the two locations, Wanghai City and Huiyun City would likely have been captured already.

Qin Jiang nodded, not holding high expectations; there was no need to.

If it weren't to lure out Fushan, he would have already revealed his True God power.

However, this was also fine. The next time the Huai army launched an attack, it would likely be led by the Jinyu Pavilion Master. When that time came, he would reveal some eighth-rank Divine Martial power, and he imagined Fushan wouldn't be able to sit still then.

The opponent knew very well how absurd it was to be able to cultivate to the eighth-rank Divine Martial realm in such a short time, and they would never allow him to continue growing.

And he was waiting for that very moment.

"Magistrate Guo, are the supplies in the city still sufficient?" he asked.

Guo Xiu nodded repeatedly, "Enough! Enough! My Lord, please rest assured, we will never mistreat our brothers!"

Qin Jiang nodded, "If it's not enough, go borrow from the cities inside; use my name."

"Yes, My Lord, this subordinate understands." That night, in a small courtyard of the County Government Office.

Inside the tightly closed wooden house, Qin Jiang sat on a chair, his hands folded one over the other at his waist and abdomen. A vortex-shaped golden cloud slowly shrank, turning into a golden pill.

He picked up the golden pill and tossed it casually. The golden pill flashed with light, transforming into a black-clad figure with a face identical to Qin Jiang's, exuding a terrifying aura.

Qin Jiang smiled slightly. This was an avatar he had forged with the True God power of his Vajra Indestructible Body, possessing the strength of an eighth-rank Divine Martial peak.

Even he could only condense two such avatars; the other one had been hidden by him in Nanlin City.

He stood up, walked to the door, and pushed it open. The bright white moonlight cast his shadow onto the wooden wall behind him.

The next moment, his figure had already disappeared.

Longevity Sect, Tongtian Hall.

At this moment, there were only two people in Tongtian Hall: the Longevity Sect Master and the Vajra Hall Master Yuan Shengxiong.

The Longevity Sect Master looked at the battle report that had been sent back for a long time without speaking.

"Sect Master, what exactly is the situation? Do I need to go and provide support?" Yuan Shengxiong said with some anxiety; his rebellious son was still there!

"You? Without the Diamond Bell, can you deal with Tianfeng, Qingyu Zun, Jinyu Envoy, plus the three-in-one third-rank Divine Martial swordsmen?" The Longevity Sect Master looked at him.

Yuan Shengxiong shrank his head upon hearing this, "Then at worst, I'll just bring the Diamond Bell along."

"The Diamond Bell is the array eye of the Yuan Prefecture City protection array. If you take it away, what will happen if someone comes to invade?" The Longevity Sect Master asked.

Yuan Shengxiong immediately drooped his head, "Isn't there still you, old man, here at the prefecture city?"

The Longevity Sect Master shook his head with some disappointment, "Then why did I keep you here? Back then, I really should have forced you to cultivate the Eastern Wood Longevity Body; you wouldn't be like this now, not knowing how to use your brain!

With this temperament of yours, I actually wanted to pass the position of Longevity Sect Master to you? I must have been blinded by lard! Bai Qiuyue is even more suitable than you!"

Yuan Shengxiong hung his head and didn't speak.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, go back and cultivate! If you could break through to a seventh-rank Divine Martial artist, you wouldn't be so passive now!"

Half a month later, deep in the East Sea.

A golden light flew past at high speed, then suddenly stopped and transformed into a human shape.

Qin Jiang looked at the island in front of him, comparing it with the map, and couldn't help but be stunned.

How did he end up in the East Sea for no reason?

This map recorded the locations of two Ancient Yu Kingdom ruins. After coming out of that one, he had flown toward here, never expecting that he would cross a sea area in between.

Looking ahead, thick trees reached straight into the sky; there were almost no trees under a hundred meters tall.

A breeze blew by, carrying a cool aura. Feeling the rich vitality coming with the wind, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Such rich vitality! It even surpassed his own at this moment! There must be a rare treasure hidden in this place!

He took out the map, compared the directions, and confirmed the route to the Ancient Yu Kingdom ruins; it should belong to the outer periphery of this island.

On the way, all kinds of plants he had never seen before came into view. Although they were all different, they had a common characteristic.

Big! Even the smallest plant was nearly three meters tall! This was caused by being nourished by the rich vitality of this place.

A moment later, he lifted a wide leaf and finally saw the entrance to the ruins: a huge bronze door.

It was entwined with deep green vines and green algae with fine threads hanging down.

He walked up, pressed his palm lightly on it, and magic fire flashed, burning the plants on the bronze door to ashes.

*Screech—! * Accompanied by a harsh sound of metal friction, the bronze door slowly opened.

. It's probably a bit troublesome; conservative treatment seems to take a long time, and there's no certainty. I don't know if the Shujin Pills I got from elsewhere are effective. Each one is as big as a thumb nail, super bitter, and they even make you chew them _(: з」∠)_ (End of chapter)
