Chapter 371: The Mirage

Gai Nie's words not only left Da Tiechui speechless, but the others who heard them also fell silent. They naturally had seen the commotion of that great battle a few days ago.

They were not fools, and naturally could tell the difference.

That was definitely power beyond Profound Mastery. With the Mohist school's current strength, even if they all added up, it probably wouldn't be enough for the other party to wipe them out.

The Mohist school had naturally given birth to Five Qi Morning Origin experts, and even the Mohist founder, Mozi, was a Three Flowers expert.

So they were very clear about how powerful the power above Five Qi Morning Origin was.

They knew that one side of that great battle came from the tyrannical Qin, but who the other side was, they didn't know.

Perhaps it was the nobles of the Six States, perhaps it was other schools of thought; it was all possible.

They were very happy at the time, but when Su Fan arrived in Sanghai Cheng, they understood that the great battle that day had been won by the tyrannical Qin side; otherwise, that person would not have been able to arrive in Sanghai Cheng safely.

Naturally, they were very unwilling in their hearts.

The tyrannical Qin had actually paid such a high price, sending power beyond Profound Mastery to protect this person, which showed this person's importance to the tyrannical Qin.

It was a pity that the other party had already become established; wanting to take action now was almost impossible. The other party had experts sent by the tyrannical Qin guarding him, so it was already impossible.

Especially after the great battle a few days ago, the tyrannical Qin would likely increase their protection.

"Mr. Gai Nie is right, but since this person has come to Sanghai Cheng, we also need to be a bit more careful. He came here to promote agricultural technology, but he is, after all, a person of the tyrannical Qin, and he has also seen our faces."

"From now on, if everyone can avoid going out, then don't go out."

Ban Dashi saw the crowd silent, and after a long time, he slowly said: "At the same time, let Pao Ding go and scout for information."

"What Ban Dashi said is fine."

Gao Jianli and the others had no objections upon hearing this. They were now lingering on in Sanghai Cheng, thanks to Zhang Liang, the third master of the Little Sage Virtuous Manor.

Because of Zhang Liang, they were able to hide. If they were discovered again, there would be no Giant to save them.

Especially since the tyrannical Qin had sent a power beyond Profound Mastery, they were also under great pressure.

The Mirage!

The base of the Yin-Yang School.

Yue Shen, Xing Hun, and Lord Yunzhong sat facing each other.

"I heard that person arrived in Sanghai Cheng today."

Yue Shen looked at Lord Yunzhong and asked.

Lord Yunzhong was the captain of the Mirage and had been in Sanghai Cheng the longest, and was most familiar with Sanghai Cheng, so naturally, he received the most news.

"Is Lady Yue Shen curious about this Agriculture Director Su?"

Lord Yunzhong was somewhat surprised.

"It is not that I am interested in this person, but that the Leader has some interest in this person."

"This person suddenly appeared, and then in just a few months, reached the high position of Great Qin today. How could one not be interested in his identity and have questions?"

"You also saw the battle a few days ago; that was the Three Flowers realm."

A rare look of seriousness appeared on Yue Shen's face. The combat power of the Three Flowers realm—that day's great battle had shocked her very much.

She didn't expect Great Qin to arrange for a Three Flowers realm expert to protect this person, which showed Ying Zheng's importance to this person.

Of course, it was also possible that Ying Zheng was using this person to fish.

But regardless, this person's identity was worth their Yin-Yang School's attention.

"Lady Yue Shen, do you know the detailed situation of that day's great battle?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Yunzhong suddenly became interested, and Xing Hun also stopped being distracted and looked at Yue Shen. They all knew that Yue Shen had always been by the Leader's side.

The Leader must know the detailed situation.

That day's great battle—their cultivation could not get close at all, so naturally, they didn't know the detailed situation. But the Leader was different; even if he wasn't at the scene that day, it wouldn't be difficult to know some of the situation.

"What kind of expert did the Empire send? Who was the other side?"

Xing Hun asked directly.

"The Empire seems to have sent Martial Peace Lord Bai Qi, and two members of the royal family. The specific identities, the Leader didn't say. The other side was the people of the Divine Court, led by Kunwu."

"Martial Peace Lord Bai Qi? He hasn't died yet?"

Both Xing Hun and Lord Yunzhong's faces showed some movement.

The great name of the Martial Peace Lord could be said to be known by everyone; he was the pillar of Great Qin's army.

Before, the news of his death had shocked the whole world, and the old Qin people had almost rioted.

They didn't expect him to have faked his death; it was truly surprising.

"I didn't expect Ying Zheng to have hidden so deeply."

"But the Divine Court actually sent Kunwu to assassinate Agriculture Director Su, this..."

Lord Yunzhong paid more attention to this point: "What kind of means does this child have to make the Divine Court so wary?"

"You forgot, this person created new technology that increased Great Qin's grain income by more than 30% every year. If this continues for a few years, how much will Great Qin's population and national strength increase?"

"The Leader observed Great Qin's luck, which has been constantly increasing. Do you think the Divine Court can still sit still?"

"You all know the Emperor's ambition; he has long had the heart to destroy the Divine Court. It's just that the strength of both sides is not much different, and Great Qin does not have the heart to win, so they have never acted rashly."

"Now, Great Qin's luck is constantly rising, and the Divine Court is naturally anxious, so sending Kunwu is normal. It's just that they didn't expect the Emperor to have already had calculations."

What Yue Shen said was also what the Leader said that day, and she was also very surprised at the time.

"So that's how it is!"

Lord Yunzhong suddenly realized.

"I didn't expect this person to have such ability. No wonder the Emperor would promote him," Lord Yunzhong sighed. Although he was not in Xianyang City, he had heard too much about this person, especially in communicating with the government officials here in the East Sea, he could also perceive this person's status in the government.

"Hmph! Just lucky, that's all."

Upon hearing this, Xing Hun's face showed some disdain.

"Hmm!"

Yue Shen and Lord Yunzhong saw this and didn't say much; they both understood Xing Hun's character.

So Lord Yunzhong changed the subject: "Lady Yue Shen, does the Leader have any instructions?"

The appearance of this person somewhat disrupted their Yin-Yang School's planning. Although their Yin-Yang School joined Great Qin, as core personnel, they were not sincerely surrendering to Great Qin, but only to use Great Qin's strength to plan some things.

For example, in the Mirage, that huge divine tree, the Fusang Divine Tree, was also because they used Great Qin's strength that they were able to take down Shushan.

Otherwise, relying solely on their Yin-Yang School, even if they could take down Shushan, their own losses would probably be very large.

Unlike now, easily destroying Shushan, seizing the other party's town-mountain treasure, and at the same time, beating the mountain-guarding spirit into serious injury and returning it to its origin.

Now that Great Qin is getting stronger and stronger, it is not a good thing for the Yin-Yang School, because they all know Ying Zheng's ambition. When the Divine Court is destroyed, the ending of their factions will definitely not be good either. ===== CHAPTER 372 =====
