Chapter 101

Surprise was surprise,

but scenes of imperial power struggles like this

had happened more than once or twice on the Nine Continents.

Therefore,

they accepted it very quickly.

But the Great Sui and Great Han were completely different!

Not to mention that the Great Sui Dynasty had only perished not long ago.

Under normal circumstances, it would certainly develop like the Great Han.

How could it possibly unify so quickly!

Not to mention,

the three great dynasties of Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang would not watch it recover completely!

As such,

it would be strange if they weren't surprised.

As for the Great Han,

they weren't surprised by the unification.

On the contrary,

they were surprised by the speed of its unification.

One must know

that not long ago,

The Great Han was still a scene of various warlords carving up territory.

Looking at it,

if there were no external forces entering,

I fear it wouldn't necessarily be unified within eight or ten years.

As a result, now,

after not paying attention for a while,

it was about to be unified.

This speed

is simply!!!

Great Qin, Xianyang Palace.

"This matter is extremely suspicious."

"Send people to the various countries immediately; you must find out the truth for me!"

Listening to Zhang Han's report,

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice with a somewhat solemn expression.

Five great dynasties.

Except for the Great Ming,

the remaining four great dynasties had all undergone such huge changes in this short period of time.

To say there was nothing suspicious about this,

even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn't believe it!

"Yes!"

Zhang Han replied loudly,

and hurried out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, could this matter be the work of the Green Dragon Society?"

Watching Zhang Han leave,

Zhao Gao, who was serving on the side, seemed to think of something,

his heart stirred slightly, and he spoke.

Besides the Green Dragon Society,

he really couldn't think of

what other force could have such a grand gesture!

Even the Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang, the top three dynasties in national strength,

would find it extremely difficult to do this!

After all,

no matter what,

these were four great dynasties.

Even if they were weak,

wanting to deal with them all at once required an extremely vast force.

And looking across the entire Nine Continents,

only the mysterious Green Dragon Society seemed capable of doing this!

As such, he couldn't help but suspect it.

"Perhaps it is possible."

"In any case, we will know everything once the Black Ice Terrace investigates and returns."

Ying Zheng nodded,

his expression somewhat suspicious.

In fact, the moment he heard the news,

his first thought was also the Green Dragon Society.

But this involved four great dynasties.

Plus the Green Dragon Society was still causing trouble in the Great Ming,

that would be a total of five great dynasties!

If this was really the work of the Green Dragon Society,

its terrifying power

was simply unimaginable!!

Therefore,

after much thought,

he felt that this matter might be related to the Green Dragon Society,

but it definitely wouldn't be the work of the Green Dragon Society alone!

Otherwise,

he really couldn't understand why the Green Dragon Society had been lying low until now?

Also thinking of this,

Zhao Gao nodded and remained silent.

…………

Great Yuan, Imperial Court.

As the messenger finished reading the secret report,

the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became somewhat heavy.

The entire hall was quiet enough to hear a needle drop.

Only the sound of Temujin's fingers tapping on the desk

rang rhythmically in the hall.

After a long while,

Temujin stopped tapping,

his face somewhat complex as he spoke,

"The Green Dragon Society is indeed terrifyingly powerful!"

"My intuition was correct from the start!"

"I just wonder, what will the Qin Emperor's reaction be?"

As he spoke.

He suddenly let out a soft laugh.

It was because he had suddenly remembered.

Many days had passed.

Ying Zheng had still not given him an answer.

This put him in a very foul mood.

But now.

He really wanted to know.

After learning this latest news.

Would Ying Zheng still be able to sit still?!

Would he still be so dismissive of an alliance?!

After laughing for a while.

The expression on Temujin's face turned serious once again.

He pondered for a few moments, then spoke indifferently to give his orders.

"Send men to investigate this news for me!"

"You must find out whether this was the work of the Green Dragon Society alone, or if other forces are involved!"

"As you command, Great Khan!"

In the darkness.

A voice rang out abruptly.

Great Tang, Fengxuan Pavilion.

"Hiss!!!"

"Is the power of the Green Dragon Society truly this terrifying?!"

Secretly drawing a sharp breath.

Wu Zetian’s face was filled with inexplicable shock.

Even though she thought the same as Ying Zheng.

She did not believe this incident was caused entirely by the Green Dragon Society alone.

But even so.

The strength displayed by the Green Dragon Society was truly too exaggerated!

So exaggerated that even as the Empress of Great Tang.

She was still startled!

Furthermore.

What was most terrifying to think about was.

Who could guarantee.

That the power the Green Dragon Society is currently showing is all they have?!

At this thought.

Wu Zetian could not help but feel a bit fortunate.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, she hadn't acted on impulse last time and gone to full-scale war with the Green Dragon Society.

Otherwise.

Even though Great Tang does not fear them.

The final result would likely only be mutual destruction.

Allowing Great Qin and Great Yuan to reap the benefits.

She let out a soft breath.

Wu Zetian calmed her mood, and her vermilion lips parted slightly.

"Send people to investigate this clearly!"

"I want detailed intelligence!!"

"Yes!"

Sensing the gravity in her tone.

Shangguan Wan'er replied in a low voice and hurriedly withdrew to make arrangements.

And not long after she left.

The Heavenly Dao Gold List spanning the horizon suddenly trembled slightly.

Following that.

Boundless golden light illuminated the Nine Provinces.

Wu Zetian raised an eyebrow.

Knowing that this meant the Heavenly Dao Gold List was announcing a new ranking.

She rose with some curiosity and walked outside the palace.

The same scene was happening all across the Nine Provinces.

People of the world raised their heads, all looking toward the void.

After a few breaths.

The golden light dissipated.

The Heavenly Dao Gold List displayed lines of small text as usual.

[Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling List - Second Place...].

110-The Nine Provinces shaken, people doubting their lives! (Requesting custom subscriptions)

[Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling List - Second Place: Ling Donglai, Cultivation: Early Mythic Stage.]

[Identity: Supreme Grandmaster, Second Dragon Head of the Green Dragon Society.]

[If 'Grandmaster' is just a realm, then 'Supreme Grandmaster' is a title, an honor!]

[As the most mysterious and elusive Supreme Grandmaster in the Nine Provinces, Ling Donglai is rarely known.]

[Or rather, only those whose cultivation has reached a certain realm have ever heard of this person!]

[He studied swordplay at ten, the I Ching at fifteen, achieved mastery at thirty, and glimpsed the Dao of Heaven and Man; since then, there has been no one in the Nine Provinces who could stand against him.]

[He is proficient in musical instruments, martial arts, the I Ching, astronomy, and telepathy.]

[Having roamed the Jianghu for decades without meeting a true opponent, he visited all the sages under heaven, yet none were capable of discussing the Dao with him!]

[The only two times he took action, neither was known to the world.]

[One of those times was when he suppressed the number one person of the Central Plains Demonic Sect, 'Blood Hand' Li Gong.]

[In the past, 'Blood Hand' Li Gong, known as the number one of the Central Plains Demonic Sect, committed countless evils and murders, eventually provoking the 'Supreme Grandmaster' Ling Donglai to suppress him.]

[Outside a villa in the suburbs of Lin'an, Ling Donglai appeared accompanied by the sound of a flute, and Li Gong discovered, without even realizing it, that his white robes were covered in the methods to break his 'Heavenly Demon Hand'.]

[At the bottom left corner, it was written: 'Ling Donglai breaks the Yin Gui Sect's Heavenly Demon Hand, seventy-two styles, specifically as a gift for you.']

[That was already completely beyond the scope of martial arts, yet it was truly the pinnacle of martial arts; it can be called terrifying!]

[The second time he took action was against the First Dragon Head of the Green Dragon Society, Ximen Wudi.]

[Fifty years ago, Ling Donglai, who was in seclusion at the Ten Absolutes Pass contemplating heaven and earth, was lamenting the slow progress of his cultivation when Ximen Wudi appeared.]

[After discussing the Dao with him, he invited him to join the Green Dragon Society.]

[To this, the solitary Ling Donglai did not refuse, but proposed a contest.]

[It was very much a case of: if you win, I join; if you lose, then there's no need to join the Green Dragon Society.]

[Ximen Wudi smiled and then fought him.]

[In that battle, the Ten Absolutes Pass was destroyed.]

[What was eye-catching was that Ling Donglai actually fully blocked one of Ximen Wudi's moves.]

[Although part of the reason was that he hadn't used his full strength.]
