Chapter 131: Chapter 128: The Storm is Coming, Crisis Looms! (Please Subscribe)

Clippity-clop! Clippity-clop!

Under the moonlit night.

A demon horse with the bloodline of a flood dragon galloped on the official road.

Xu Qingling held the reins in one hand and a polearm in the other, her eyes fixed intently on the distance.

She had not expected that Gao Wenyu would be so bold!

As a member of the human race, and moreover, the esteemed Provincial Governor, to collude with demons and seek to aid the Cangyuan Dragon Lord in achieving Dragon Transformation!

Even if he was a descendant of the Quanyang Gao Family’s bloodline, carrying out such an absurd and egregious act, it’s doubtful that the Great Jin Dynasty would agree!

The current Great Jin was still the Wang Family’s dynasty, not the Gao Clan’s!

Such blatant challenges to human morals and the dignity of the Great Jin Dynasty’s court could not even be protected by the Gao Clan!

Only...

That Gao Wenyu had become a Provincial Governor, naturally he was not foolish.

But for what reason did he think of helping the Cangyuan Dragon Lord to transform?

Although the demon race was powerful, Gao Wenyu belonged to the human race; what promise could the demon race make to persuade Gao Wenyu to betray the Great Jin and the human race?

Xu Qingling pondered all possibilities in her heart.

Swoosh!

At that moment, an arrow shot fiercely out of the woods beside her.

Boom!

The arrow tore through the air, creating a thunderous roar.

This arrow could not have been fired by an ordinary person!

Xu Qingling suddenly snapped to her senses, swung the polearm in her hand, and knocked the arrow away.

But almost at the same time, a shadow had silently approached beneath her demon horse.

Bang!

The figure was tall, reaching out to grab the demon horse’s neck and then pressing down forcefully.

Roar!

The demon horse screamed and was forcibly slammed onto the ground.

At this moment, Xu Qingling’s polearm had already cut through the air, aiming at the neck of the opponent.

Whish!

Another dark figure emerged behind Xu Qingling at this instant.

In the blink of an eye, the threat of death suddenly erupted in her heart!

Xu Qingling stepped forcefully, using her Qinggong to instantly move from her original spot, retreating to an open space.

Aside from the hidden archer, two exceedingly strong Grandmasters had already appeared!

Without a doubt, these people must be those sent by the Provincial Governor’s Mansion, those sent by Governor Gao to intercept her!

She was indeed not wrong!

"Gao Wenyu has gone mad; have you all gone mad too?!"

Xu Qingling’s pretty face was filled with coldness as she suddenly shouted.

However, her words brought no effect.

The ambush having failed, the two Grandmasters from the Provincial Governor’s Mansion did not waste time and attacked again instantly.

One possessed immense strength, the other extraordinary speed; neither could be compared to an ordinary Grandmaster.

Each exchange set off Gang Qi that splattered around like a dense swarm of silver needles piercing through the ground.

Xu Qingling, with her injuries not yet healed, faced two troublesome adversaries and had to constantly guard against the hidden archer.

For a time, she actually fell into a disadvantage!

A moment later, Xu Qingling let out a fierce shout, and the Gang Qi in her body concentrated on her polearm.

The polearm instantly turned blood-red, an astonishing aura of slaughter emanating from it.

Seizing the opportunity, she stepped forward, thrusting with all her might.

Chi!

The polearm pierced into one of the men.

In an instant, scarlet blood rolled down the weapon.

But Xu Qingling was not careless; she withdrew the polearm and turned to continue slashing towards the other figure.

But as she turned, what caught her eye was not the figure that had ambushed her.

It was a different figure—one she was all too familiar with!

A hint of joy flashed in Xu Qingling’s eyes, her mind involuntarily relaxing a little.

Chi!

A longsword pierced her abdomen; Gang Qi churned!

Xu Qingling’s face froze and she looked slightly astonished; her mouth opened as if to say something.

Her face now filled with bewilderment, questioning, and anger...

But as the sword that had pierced her was withdrawn, the light in her eyes slowly dimmed, and in the end, she could not voice her words.

Bang!

Xu Qingling’s body fell to the ground, raising dust.

"Lord!"

The unharmed shadow approached, speaking respectfully.

"Let’s go to Yongan County!"

The reply was a calm and indifferent voice.

...

The next day.

As the first rays of light appeared on the horizon.

Inside Camp Geng, all the Demon-Slaying Colonels and the regular soldiers had already started their daily training.

Having chosen to walk the path of slaying demons and exorcising evil, the only way to stand firm was to continuously grow stronger!

At that moment, Qin Zheng sat in the Great General’s tent, with eyes closed, in silence.

A night’s time was enough for him to fully absorb all his emotional upheaval.

No matter how much the promotion this time had enhanced him, how much it had increased his combat effectiveness.

Surprise, excitement, agitation, and so on, had all been fully digested, leaving only the most primal calm.

So, within this military tent, they conserved their energy and gathered their strength.

Waiting for the arrival of the next batch of short-lived ghosts.

"Lord Qin!"

At that moment, the tent flap was thrust open, and Pei Qing strode in quickly.

"Another monster attack?"

Qin Zheng opened his eyes, a sharp gleam passing through them.

Pei Qing shook his head, indicating that it wasn’t a monster attack, and then continued, "Everything at Qinyang Prefecture has been taken care of."

"It’s about the corpse of that Gao Wuyun..."

After all, he was a descendant of the noble Quanyang Gao Family’s bloodline, and although Qin Zheng had killed him, dealing with the corpse was somewhat troublesome.

At least it made everyone in Camp Geng feel rather awkward.

Qin Zheng thought for a moment, then he also understood; the people of Camp Geng were all ordinary humans and couldn’t ignore Gao Wuyun’s high-status identity like he could.

So he said, "First, have his corpse brought back to Camp Geng, also..."

Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he continued, "Find me a dog that has eaten human flesh."

Both that Gao Wusheng and the current Gao Wuyun deemed themselves above others and saw ordinary people as fish meat, serving as food for the Demon race.

Back then, his power in the Initial Realm was too weak, allowing that Gao Wusheng to die too cleanly, not even leaving behind a corpse.

But now, with his strength more than sufficient, Gao Wuyun might be dead, but his corpse remained.

Then let out a vicious dog that eats humans, and let his Gao Clan’s bloodline get eaten by a monster too, to see how it’s any different from ordinary people!

Pei Qing was momentarily startled upon hearing this, then instantly understood Qin Zheng’s intention.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but for some reason fell silent again.

"Yes!"

He nodded firmly, without the slightest hesitation in his voice.

After he left, Qin Zheng chuckled lightly and then closed his eyes once more to conserve energy.

Time passed, and half a day went by in a flash.

At this moment, the sun had begun its slow descent from its highest point in the sky.

Inside the tent, Qin Zheng opened his eyes, a touch of solemnity in his gaze.

By this time, if Xu Qingling planned to return, she should have arrived at Camp Geng.

And even if she wasn’t returning, there should have been other messengers coming from Lin Yuan City to report the Commander-in-chief’s plans to Qin Zheng.

Could it be... Xu Qingling met with trouble?

That shouldn’t be!

Xu Qingling, as the Commander-in-chief’s Direct Disciple and someone in the Grandmaster Realm,

would be unstoppable if she truly wished to leave, unless she encountered either him or the Commander-in-chief; otherwise no one would be able to stop her.

That’s why Qin Zheng felt at ease letting her depart to report the Provincial Governor’s Mansion’s plans to the Commander-in-chief in Lin Yuan City.

Perhaps Xu Qingling got held up in Lin Yuan City, or maybe someone with lesser martial arts skill was sent in her place, which would be slower on horseback.

As Qin Zheng pondered this, he closed his eyes once again.

Time passed once more, and when the clouds in the sky turned a fiery red, Qin Zheng abruptly opened his eyes.

She still hasn’t returned!

Xu Qingling, the disciple of the Commander-in-chief, was very likely in trouble!

Qin Zheng immediately stood up, took one step, and vanished from the tent in an instant.

At that moment, a troop of soldiers was just bringing back the body of Gao Wuyun, and Pei Qing was on his way to report the situation to Qin Zheng.

"What’s the matter?"

Seeing the slight gravity on Qin Zheng’s face.

Pei Qing’s heart sank too, and he hastily asked.

Qin Zheng’s expression was stern as he ordered, "Send people to search for Lord Xu along the road leading to Lin Yuan City in Yongyuan County!"

"Also, have the ten Minor Generals and the numerous Colonels out there be vigilant; report to me immediately if any Grandmaster with even a hint of suspicion enters Yongan County!"

Pei Qing wasn’t foolish, and upon hearing Qin Zheng’s arrangements, he grasped something instantly.

"Yes!"

He gave another affirmation, then turned to carry out the orders.

One fiery steed after another galloped out from Camp Geng, and birds flew from the camp.

However, Qin Zheng’s expression didn’t soften in the least.

He hoped that Gao Wenyu hadn’t truly gone mad, otherwise...

Thinking this, a sharp coldness suddenly flickered in Qin Zheng’s eyes.

"Lord Qin, the corpse and the fierce dog are both prepared, may I ask what we should do next?"

A Colonel approached Qin Zheng for instructions.

"Release the dog; let it eat."

Qin Zheng’s mind refocused, then his gaze fell on the beheaded corpse of Gao Wuyun in the distance, and he spoke calmly.

After his words, the Colonel gave a signal and the fierce dog was released.

Woof! Woof! Growl~

The rich smell of blood made the vicious dog salivate, and once released, it shot out like a black shadow.

Its gaping jaws opened wide to tear into Gao Wuyun’s corpse.

Whiz!

Just then, an arrow suddenly appeared from afar.

Then it shot through the air, covering a hundred meters in an instant, and just as the dog was about to bite down, it violently pierced through its body!

The sheer force of momentum drove the dog’s corpse, along with the arrow, across ten or more meters before it violently pierced into the ground.

Such a shift caused everyone in Camp Geng to suddenly change their expressions.

Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed, but he showed no emotion; instead, he turned to look in the direction from which the arrow had come.

Clop clop! Clop clop!

Neigh! Neigh!

After a few breaths, the sound of galloping horses and voices yelling came through.

A familiar figure also entered Qin Zheng’s view.

"Junior Brother Qin!"

Accompanying it was a call filled with enthusiasm!
