Chapter 944
"Brother Gai Nie." Just when others were in a trance, a voice attracted the attention of many people.
"You are Zifang."
Gai Nie walked down from the void, and his eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Liang.
"Haha! Brother Gai Nie, it's really you; didn't expect to meet you here."
"It was you who took action just now, right? It seems you have succeeded these years."
Zhang Liang stepped forward, looking at this old friend of his, and was very happy with the changes in the other party at this moment.
The current Gai Nie didn't have much change in appearance compared to before, except for a not-so-small scratch on his lower jaw.
Everything else was similar to the past, but in terms of temperament, there was a great change.
When the two met in the past, the sharpness exuded from the other party could not be concealed no matter what, and from afar, one could feel that piercing sword intent and sharpness.
No one could ignore it.
Back then, in the Zhangtai Palace of Xianyang City, as a bodyguard of the Qin King, he once repelled many masters from the six states.
He was hailed as the number one sword guest of the Qin State, a disciple of Ghost Valley.
His strength was indeed not bad; of course, saying he was the number one sword guest of the Qin State was also an exaggeration. At that time, Gai Nie's strength was not bad, but the Great Qin was not very strong either.
Just a True Immortal.
There were quite a few experts in the Great Qin military whose strength exceeded his.
And among the top experts of the Great Qin, there were also sword guests; even the sword technique of the God of Slaughter Bai Qi was extremely extraordinary.
It was just that Bai Qi was not a pure sword guest.
And Gai Nie also defeated quite a few top sword Dao experts back then.
On the Jiuzhou Sword Dao Ranking, he was indeed at the forefront, especially with the older generation of sword Dao experts retiring one after another, Gai Nie was indeed the most famous at that time.
Plus the Great Qin was constantly pushing the waves behind him.
So the title of the number one sword guest of the Great Qin and the Sword Saint of the Great Qin was constantly pressed on Gai Nie's head.
At that time, Gai Nie also needed to rely on this fame; after all, coming from Ghost Valley, he also hoped to carry it forward.
The predecessors of Ghost Valley were all peerless figures of each generation, and he was also a disciple of Ghost Valley, so naturally he didn't want to lose face for Ghost Valley.
It was just that he was not good at military strategy or the Vertical and Horizontal Dao, but was outstanding in sword Dao, so he chose the sword Dao.
Later, the Great Qin unified the world, and he felt that the Qin King had no opponents, so he didn't need protection.
In reality, he had long felt that even without him, it would be very difficult for assassins sent by the other six states to assassinate the Qin King.
The guards in the Zhangtai Palace itself were very powerful, and there were quite a few whose strength was above his.
His task was actually more to teach the descendants of the Qin King martial arts and sword Dao.
So after the Great Qin unified the world, he resigned to the Qin King, left the Great Qin, and later even left the Jiuzhou, heading to the Nanzhan Buzhou to temper his sword Dao.
And finally, a hundred years ago, his sword Dao went a step further, and his cultivation finally broke through to the Golden Immortal realm.
Now he was preparing to return to the Jiuzhou; after all, having broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, he should return to Ghost Valley.
His strength, among the disciples of Ghost Valley of all generations, could be considered a powerhouse.
The talents that appeared in Ghost Valley of all generations were mostly of the Military School or the Vertical and Horizontal Dao; the people of the Military School, although their strength was not bad, mostly relied on the power of military formations to explode with powerful strength.
The personal martial power of the generals from Ghost Valley was not very strong.
Perhaps those generals could exert the combat power of a Golden Immortal, but they were also relying on a large army.
While he completely broke through the limits with his own body and became a Golden Immortal; coming from Ghost Valley, he naturally understood that Golden Immortal and True Immortal were completely two worlds.
Being in the Nanzhan Buzhou, he understood even more what Golden Immortal meant.
In the entire Nanzhan Buzhou, there were thousands or hundreds of True Immortals, and even reaching ten thousand, but for Golden Immortals, one out of a thousand True Immortals was already very good.
The Ghost Valley of today, besides him, no longer had a second Golden Immortal; as for the Ghost Valley ancestor, he had long since left Ghost Valley.
Gai Nie's own master was only a True Immortal.
He went back, also hoping to revitalize the momentum of Ghost Valley; these years, Ghost Valley had become weaker and weaker.
After all, the Vertical and Horizontal techniques only had the opportunity to exert power during the wars of the feudal lords.
The Great Qin unified, besides the generals who had the ability of Military School cultivation, the Vertical and Horizontal techniques were difficult to exert any means, and Ghost Valley valued this inheritance the most.
In this way, it was naturally more and more difficult for Ghost Valley to deal with the Great Qin, while the Legalist school was still in its prime, and the Daoist school was an existence that would never fall.
As a disciple of Ghost Valley, he naturally hoped that Ghost Valley would get better and better.
And he had been in the center of the Great Qin for those years, and he understood the ambition of that Qin King very well; the methods of Ghost Valley were actually not to the Qin King's taste.
Especially the Vertical and Horizontal techniques; in the Qin King's eyes, it was a method of bewitching war and chaos; the Qin King didn't care about your personal bravery.
Even if you cultivated to the Golden Immortal or even Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the threat to the Great Qin was not too big, but the Vertical and Horizontal techniques, plus the eloquence of the School of Names, stirring up turmoil among the people, was what shook the foundation of the Great Qin.
If Ghost Valley didn't make changes, it would only make the Qin King more and more wary, and by then, it would be like the Mohist school.
Ghost Valley was also one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, so naturally it was no stranger to the Mohist school.
And the situation of the Mohist school today, before Gai Nie left the Jiuzhou, he understood quite a bit; the Great Qin, the Mohist school was also in a state of suppression, especially the Mohist school that didn't follow the Qin King's ideas, could only hide.
While the Qin Mohist school that conformed to the Great Qin's policies developed very rapidly.
Gai Nie understood very well what kind of person the Qin King was; once the Qin King had any bad views on Ghost Valley, the future of Ghost Valley could be imagined.
Although he had broken through to the Golden Immortal realm today, he didn't think about being an enemy of the Great Qin.
For that Qin King, he still admired him; the other party unified the world and defeated the six states; although this process caused quite a bit of slaughter.
However, Gai Nie also understood that the sacrifice of this process was necessary; as long as the Great Qin unified the world, the results would end, and the wars of the feudal lords in the Jiuzhou for these ten thousand years would end.
Ghost Valley, he had read a lot of history, and he had also read a lot of records of the Great Qin; the wars between the feudal lords for these ten thousand years had caused too many deaths.
The slaughter caused by the Great Qin unifying the world was simply incomparable to the slaughter caused by the wars of the feudal lords for ten thousand years.
It didn't even reach one percent of the former.
Gai Nie was a sword guest and also had a compassionate heart; naturally, he didn't hope for the world to continue to be in turmoil like this.
He had no military strategy and couldn't serve the Great Qin, only having a set of sword techniques, barely acting as a bodyguard.
So those years, in the Zhangtai Palace of the Great Qin, he blocked many assassins for the Qin King, and for this, he even lost some friends.
But Gai Nie did not regret it.
