Chapter 377

Perhaps it was because of the bond between foster father and foster daughter.

Or perhaps because he had no children of his own.

Among the three great secret agents.

He valued Shangguan Haitang above all the rest.

Although before this.

Deep in his heart, he had mostly been thinking of using her.

But it cannot be denied.

Toward Shangguan Haitang, he did indeed hold a trace of familial affection.

Especially now that his imperial ambitions had all come to nothing.

This trace of affection became one of the few ties left on his mind.

Every time he recalled that when he fled, he had not brought her along, only sent her a message.

His heart felt a little uneasy.

Fortunately, she had survived.

Otherwise.

Not to mention lifelong regret.

He would still feel some measure of guilt in his heart.

He stood there for a while.

Zhu Wushi withdrew his gaze.

He turned and slowly walked into the house.

Looking at Su Xin on the bed, like a sleeping beauty.

His face was full of tenderness.

A few breaths later.

The look in his eyes was filled with resolve.

The world was no longer worth thinking about.

Yet in his heart, there was one and only one thought.

Wake her up!!

Then live a life of seclusion with her, far from the world!!

And have another son and daughter.

From then on, idle clouds and wild cranes, zither and xiao in harmony.

Time slipped by in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye.

Five days had passed.

The martial artists who had been buzzing with discussion over the Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling Ranking and the Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers Ranking.

Now had their attention fixed on another matter entirely!

No!

To be precise.

Their attention was fixed on a piece of news!

This matter goes back to three days ago.

The story goes, three days prior.

For reasons unknown.

In a certain region of the Great Sui Dynasty, violent tremors occurred.

The disturbance was so great.

It stretched for hundreds of li.

For a time it frightened people into thinking an earth dragon had overturned.

Immediately after.

News spread through the jianghu that the War God Hall had appeared in the world!

At first some people did not believe it.

But when some martial artists who had happened to witness it with their own eyes came forward to testify, speaking with absolute certainty.

The Nine Provinces jianghu instantly boiled over!!

At this moment.

Whether seasoned elders, or rising martial artists.

Whether great sects, or reclusive masters.

All of them were rubbing their fists and rolling up their sleeves, faces alight with excitement as they hurried toward Great Sui.

In just two short days.

Great Sui had become a hive of activity.

And this was only the first batch of martial artists from nearby who had rushed over.

It was believed that before long.

The number of people coming to Great Sui would surge several times, dozens of times, even hundreds of times over!!

As for the reason.

Although no one now knew that the War God Hall had been reforged from a cave-heaven secret realm.

But just the title of Guangchengzi Immortal, teacher to Emperor Xuanyuan,

is enough to make warriors rush forward one after another.

Not to mention,

in past years,

every warrior who entered the War God Hall gained immense opportunity.

From then on, they soared to the heavens.

Not to say they dominated the entire world,

but at the very least, they became figures towering over countless others!!

How could countless martial artists not be thrilled?

How could they not be excited?!

Even though they knew their chances of entering were minuscule,

almost negligible.

Yet all of them held an oddly uniform thought:

What if I'm the one who gets lucky?!

At least there's no loss in taking a look!

Given this mindset,

it's easy to imagine,

how bustling the Great Sui will be!!

Great Qin, Xianyanggong.

"Where is Zhao Gao?"

Holding the secret report delivered by the Shadow Secret Guard,

Ying Zheng called out with imperial authority.

"Your humble servant is here. What command does Your Majesty have?"

Before his words had finished,

Zhao Gao hurriedly stepped forward.

He bowed respectfully.

"Carry My edict to Bai Qi."

"Tell him to temporarily set aside his current affairs and travel to the Great Sui."
