Chapter 301

At the same time, in the southern seas of Great Wu.

A small country called Lan State, its capital Lan City.

On the ground, this city is still quite prosperous, people coming and going, extremely lively.

But looking down, to the dark underground.

Pairs of deep green pupils constantly moving rapidly, and constantly making rustling sounds, the sound of insects crawling quickly.

Suddenly, a deep green flame ignited, bringing a glimmer of light to this dark underground, only to see the dark underground full of demon-slaying insects, numbering over ten thousand.

At the very center of the cavern, the demon-slaying insect mother bowed respectfully to an evil spirit.

"Jiahe Venerable, the news is confirmed, several sea beast empires have received aid from Great Wu and destroyed Wa State."

The evil spirit's voice gave no hint of joy or anger.

"Great Wu, acting so..."

Suddenly, his voice cut off, and a pained groan came through.

"Ah... what is going on..."

The demon-slaying insect mother jerked her head up, only to see the evil spirit's body beginning to twist continuously, waves of purple light emanating from the evil spirit's black mist body.

The demon-slaying insect mother was dumbfounded: "Venerable! Venerable! What is happening."

The evil spirit howled: "Save me!!!"

Upon hearing this, the demon-slaying insect mother immediately acted, but she could not approach the evil spirit at all, instead being pushed farther and farther by a tremendous force.

And gradually, the purple light emanating from the evil spirit's body reached an extreme, illuminating the entire dark underground.

Suddenly!

With a boom.

The evil spirit Jiahe completely exploded, scattering a vast purple halo, a purple portal appeared in the dark underground.

The demon-slaying insect mother was dumbfounded, an evil spirit exploded before her eyes, for a moment she did not know what to do.

But just then, a deeper aura arrived, the demon-slaying insect mother's body trembled and she immediately lowered her head.

Only to see a tall evil spirit formed of condensed black mist slowly walk out of the portal, his aura deeper than that of the previous evil spirit, reaching the eighth level of Martial Saint.

This evil spirit spread his hands, voice intoxicated: "Is this the human world? Even the air is this sweet."

Beside him, the demon-slaying insect mother bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Venerable! I do not know how to address you, Venerable."

This evil spirit glanced at her: "Call me Jiashe."

The demon-slaying insect mother prostrated on the ground: "Greetings, Jiashe Venerable."

"Just now Jiahe Venerable... and this portal is..."

Jiashe laughed: "This is the mighty means of the Evil God, placing this portal formation on several of them, the Evil God can remotely open portals in this world, this is also a key step in our conquest of this world."

"But I did not expect two wastes to die as soon as they arrived in this world, the Evil God was forced to open the portal early!"

"Truly wastes."

It is obvious that these few evil spirits who arrived first in this world did not know they had the portal formation placed on them, otherwise they would have been interrogated by Shen Qing long ago.

At this moment, behind the portal, flashes of light appeared, tens of thousands of evil spirits surged out from the gate, and through the portal, one could also see far away a worm tide like a vast sea.

Jiashe spoke with unrestrained laughter: "Humans! Are you ready to welcome our arrival?"

Wuyang Prefecture.

The New Year's festivities have not yet faded, but turmoil surges in the dark.

Gradually, many Martial Saints discovered the closure of the passage to the far north, and not a few Martial Saints came to the capital, saying they wished to pay respects to the Martial Emperor and the Shen family ancestor.

Shen Yun, Zhu Xuan, and the head of the Martial Fortune Hall, Lu Yun, all came to the Shen family.

Lu Yun is a refined and cultured man, though his face looks young, he has a full head of white hair, he looked toward Shen Qing,

"Shen Qing, strictly speaking, this should be our first meeting."

"The Martial Emperor has already told me, I will obey your orders, you can rest assured."

Zhu Xuan, on the other hand, wears a blue long robe, looking somewhat ethereal and daoist, he looked toward Shen Qing: "I am the same, the Martial Emperor has also instructed me."

"Currently, many Martial Saints have come to the capital to pay respects to the Martial Emperor and Shen Old Ancestor, what should we do?"

Upon saying this, all three turned their gazes toward Shen Qing.

Shen Qing's expression calm: "How many Martial Saints have come?"

Zhu Xuan spoke: "Already thirteen have arrived, their strength is quite good."

Shen Qing stood up: "Alright, then let's meet them, summon all the Martial Saints in the capital, the location is just the Xuan Yun Palace beside the capital."

Xuan Yun Palace, formerly a palace of an old relic of the Zhu family, later he was killed by Shen Qing, and this palace became vacant, its location very remote.

After the time of burning one incense stick, Xuan Yun Palace.

The Martial Saints of the capital arrived one after another, the vast majority of Martial Saints had solemn expressions, because they did not know whether the closure of the passage was good or bad.

Also, some Martial Saints glanced left and right, as if searching for something.

Just then, Zhu Xuan and a few others entered Xuan Yun Palace, and everyone turned their gazes toward them.

Inside Xuan Yun Palace there is a great hall, with a round table tens of meters in diameter, the Martial Saints formed a circle.

Everyone was discussing.

A black-faced Martial Saint spoke: "The passage suddenly closed, the Martial Emperor and Shen Old Ancestor have not appeared until now, will they not enter the realm battlefield."

Qingxuan Daoist spoke: "Black Hammer Martial Saint, have you been acting abnormal these two days, in two days you asked me twice where the Martial Emperor and Shen Old Ancestor are."

Vajra Holy Monk lectured: "Black Hammer benefactor also asked me once, are you perhaps overly concerned, now we should not be concerned about the passage of the realm battlefield? Perhaps the Martial Emperor and Shen Old Ancestor merely went to investigate the passage situation? Why do you keep asking about their whereabouts?"

Everyone instantly turned their gazes toward Black Hammer.

Black Hammer immediately stood up: "The Martial Emperor and Shen Old Ancestor are our mainstay, is it not normal for me to ask once."

Just then, a voice came from outside the hall: Shen Qing's voice: "Exactly is it you who wants to ask, or is it the evil spirit behind you who wants to ask."

Black Hammer Martial Saint suddenly turned around: "Nonsense."

But the panic that flashed in his eyes was still caught by Shen Qing.

Black Hammer Martial Saint looked at Shen Qing: "Who are you again? Do you even have the right to speak?"

Zhu Xuan spoke calmly: "This is Shen Qing. The Martial Emperor and Elder Shen have already issued orders. If he is not present, all Martial Saints of our Great Martial must obey Shen Qing."

Upon hearing this, everyone stared at each other in silence.

Black Hammer Martial Saint snorted coldly: "You want a group of Martial Saints to listen to someone at the Yuan Dan realm? Ridiculous."

Shen Qing shouted sternly: "Answer my question!"

Black Hammer silently turned around, and at that moment, Shen Qing's Slaughter Domain suddenly activated. Everyone in the room jumped to their feet, and even the Diamond Holy Monk and Qing Xuan Daoist felt a chilling dread from Shen Qing's Slaughter Domain.

Black Hammer Martial Saint is only at the third level of the Martial Saint realm, while Shen Qing's Slaughter Domain, bolstered by the slaughter of tens of millions, is something Black Hammer Martial Saint cannot possibly withstand.

Almost instantly, Black Hammer Martial Saint's mind was overwhelmed by killing intent.

Shen Qing said: "Name."

Black Hammer Martial Saint's eyes went blank: "Liang Hei."

"Your greatest secret."

"I have a fondness for male companionship."

Shen Qing asked the final question: "Have you already pledged allegiance to evil spirits?"

"That's correct..."

At this moment, Black Hammer Martial Saint finally regained control of his mind, and he also realized what he had just said.

"What kind of demonic technique is this!"

He then looked around at the other Martial Saints and shouted frenziedly: "Shen Qing is slandering me! You must not believe him!"

But the eyes of the surrounding Martial Saints grew colder and colder. For the past two days, all Martial Saints have been worried about the sudden closure of the Realm Battlefield, yet only Black Hammer Martial Saint kept asking whether the Martial Emperor and Elder Shen had gone missing—as if he had long sensed something was wrong.

Black Hammer Martial Saint suddenly erupted, charging at Shen Qing, hoping to capture the leader first and seize Shen Qing as a hostage to escape from Xuan Yun Palace.

However, the Five-Level Martial Saint of Wa Country, the Eight Branches Martial Saint, and the evil spirits were all slaughtered by Shen Qing like chicks—what is a mere Black Hammer Martial Saint?

Only then did Shen Qing raise his right hand, and the terrifying destructive power surged forth without reserve, instantly enveloping Black Hammer Martial Saint.

"Ah!!!"

A painful scream echoed, and in the blink of an eye, Black Hammer Martial Saint was annihilated, leaving not even bone fragments behind.

Shen Qing exerted all of his destructive power in this move—it was deliberate, meant to shock the other Martial Saints.

And the effect was indeed good—all the Martial Saints fell silent.

Originally, some Martial Saints still had doubt and confusion in their eyes, but after Shen Qing unleashed his destructive power, their gazes instantly cleared.

Shen Qing approached the main seat, sat down slowly, and swept his gaze over the other Martial Saints.

"Now, I am the one who decides in Great Martial."

"I have finished speaking."

"Who agrees? Who opposes?"
