Chapter 577: Once the deed is done, our Divine Kingdom will surely reward you handsomely!

Great Qin, Dong Commandery.

"Why did Uncle lose??!!"

"This is impossible! That villain Wei Zhuang must have used some underhanded trick to defeat Uncle!"

Tianming stood outside Ge Nie's guest room, standing on tiptoe to peek at Ge Nie, who was sitting in meditation to heal his wounds.

Upon seeing Ge Nie's slightly pale face, a wave of worry welled up in Tianming's heart.

Hearing Tianming's words, Xiang Shaoyu gave Tianming a direct thump on the head, then stood with his hands on his hips and said loudly:

"You really are as stubborn as a dead duck!"

"A loss is a loss; why are you so unwilling to admit it?!"

Thinking back to the scene of the battle between Ge Nie and Wei Zhuang that day, and the destruction the two had caused, a hint of solemnity appeared on Xiang Shaoyu's face.

"If Wei Zhuang hadn't held back, none of us would have made it back!"

"We would have died in that alleyway long ago!!"

"Do you think that if Ge Nie couldn't stop Wei Zhuang, there was anyone else at the time who could have? Zhang Liang? Or the Mohist Grandmaster?!"

After being punched by Xiang Shaoyu, Tianming had initially wanted to lash out and continue arguing.

But the moment he heard Xiang Shaoyu mention the battle between Wei Zhuang and Ge Nie that day, a look of terror surfaced in Tianming's eyes.

Indeed, what Tianming had just said was merely out of anger; everyone had seen that great battle.

Ge Nie was truly no match for Wei Zhuang, and their understanding of the Dao of the Sword were no longer on the same level.

In that battle, Wei Zhuang had ultimately defeated Ge Nie, but what surprised everyone was that, for some unknown reason, Wei Zhuang—who had always been obsessed with the philosophy of the Ghost Valley Sect—did not kill Ge Nie after his victory...

……

Dong Commandery, aboard a large ship.

Sheng Qi, who had long since vanished from Great Qin, was sitting in a cabin on the ship.

Opposite him sat several masked men with handlebar mustaches and high ponytails, sitting in the kneeling position.

The men sitting opposite Sheng Qi were the very people from Dongying with whom Sheng Qi had been secretly communicating.

The experts sent by Dongying this time were three in total: Mitsui Yuji, Hanzō Masanari, and Sarutobi Sasuke.

Among them, Mitsui Yuji and Sarutobi Sasuke were both experts at the Peak Perfected Realm of the Earth Immortal Mortal Realm, while Hanzō Masanari had already stepped into the Late Stage of the Earth Immortal Innate Realm.

Sheng Qi took a light sip of the tea on the table and glanced at the three men sitting opposite him with his peripheral vision.

Feeling the aura radiating from the experts sent by Dongying, Sheng Qi felt a bit more at ease.

In order to overthrow Great Qin and realize the ambition in his heart, Sheng Qi had begun interacting with the foreign Dongying several years ago.

And this time, to secretly root out the hidden forces Great Qin had placed in Dong Commandery, Sheng Qi had directly requested the three experts—Mitsui Yuji, Hanzō Masanari, and Sarutobi Sasuke—from Dongying.

Feeling the Earth Immortal Realm cultivation revealed by the three, a cold sneer appeared at the corner of Sheng Qi's mouth.

In Sheng Qi's view, anyone who had stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm was an expert.

Because in Great Qin, Emperor Ying Zheng's control over the Wu Lin had reached an extremely serious level, which had kept the Great Qin Wu Lin from ever truly flourishing.

Experts at the Earth Immortal Realm were rarely seen even once in many years.

Even the leader of the Yin-Yang School, Lord Donghuang, had only just stepped into the Mortal Realm of the Earth Immortal.

Sheng Qi believed that now, with the three Earth Immortal Realm experts Mitsui Yuji, Hanzō Masanari, and Sarutobi Sasuke, he would surely be able to root out all of Great Qin's hidden forces in Dong Commandery, and he would be able to make some strategic moves in Dong Commandery.

In the future, by leveraging the power of Dongying, he would rise up in Dong Commandery and directly overthrow Great Qin!

"Respected God of Ninjas from the Divine Kingdom."

"I am deeply honored to receive your assistance."

Sheng Qi said to Mitsui Yuji, Hanzō Masanari, and Sarutobi Sasuke with a light smile.

After returning the gesture, Mitsui Yuji, Hanzō Masanari, and Sarutobi Sasuke also spoke:

"Sheng Qi-san, we have come to Great Qin not only for the trade with the Great Qin Nong Family."

"We are going to the Yin-Yang School to retrieve a treasure of ours from Dongying that was lost in Great Qin!"

"At that time, Sheng Qi-san can help us lead the way. Once the deed is done, our Divine Kingdom will surely reward you handsomely!"

Sheng Qi was slightly stunned after hearing Mitsui Yuji's words; he did not understand why the people from Dongying would take the initiative to involve the Yin-Yang School.

"I wonder what kind of item you have lost at the Yin-Yang School?"

Sheng Qi asked, looking at the three men opposite him with a hint of doubt.

Mitsui Yuji had just wanted to speak when Hanzō Masanari interrupted his rhythm.

"Since this is a trade, Sheng Qi-san only needs to lead the way."

"As for other matters, those are the affairs of our Divine Kingdom."

Hanzō Masanari said softly.

In truth, their trip to the Yin-Yang School this time was to seize the treasure that had placed the Yin-Yang School on the Heaven Ranking.

Dongying had previously sent several Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster experts into the Yin-Yang School to seize the treasure, but they were all ultimately slaughtered by Lord Donghuang, Yan Lingji, and others within the Yin-Yang School's territory.

After this news reached Dongying, it made everyone in Dongying feel they had lost face.

The reason they had directly sent three God Realm experts to Great Qin this time was to seize the treasure at the Yin-Yang School and directly wipe out the Yin-Yang School to vent their hatred.

In Dongying, anyone who stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm was collectively referred to as being in the God Realm.

Sheng Qi did not care after hearing Hanzō Masanari's words; the life or death of the Yin-Yang School had nothing to do with him.

Anyway, as long as he could use the power of Dongying to overthrow Great Qin, Sheng Qi was willing to pay any price! ===== CHAPTER 578 =====
