Chapter 152: Chapter 149: The Powerful and Domineering Lord Qin! (Please Subscribe)

Qingzhou.

At the edge of the Mo Xu Mountain Range, where it borders Yongan County.

Two figures swept past rapidly, quickly entering the territory of Qingzhou.

By now, the figure of Xiang Qingyu had long disappeared.

In his place were the figures of many officers from Camp Geng, led by Pei Qing.

And at this moment, their expressions were grave, and the atmosphere was tense as if a thick, impenetrable cloud hung overhead.

"Lord Qin!"

Upon seeing Qin Zheng, Pei Qing’s expression shook, and he promptly used his Qinggong to quickly approach Qin Zheng.

"What has happened?"

Qin Zheng’s expression slightly hardened as he spoke.

The two had been together for some time, and seeing the other’s demeanor, Qin Zheng immediately understood that something significant had occurred.

However, it had only been slightly more than a day since they left Qingzhou to head towards the Moxu Demon Lair.

The Cangyuan Dragon Lord, a major menace of Qingzhou, had been slain, and with Wei Wuji freeing his hands, what else could have happened?

Could it be...

Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed as a bad premonition surged through his mind.

Pei Qing, hearing this, glanced at Zhao Li on the other side.

Immediately, Qin Zheng said, "This is Lord Zhao from the Imperial Capital Taiwu Institution, here to assist. Please, speak freely."

"Lord Zhao!"

Hearing this, Pei Qing promptly bowed to Zhao Li.

Then he turned his head back towards Qin Zheng, his face all seriousness as he hurriedly said, "A letter came from Lin Yuan City, asking the lord to hurry over!"

"Lord Xiang had already gone ahead. It seems... the Commander-in-chief has had an accident!"

Upon hearing this, both Qin Zheng and Zhao Li’s expressions instantly hardened.

Only the two of them knew that Wei Wuji, the Qingzhou Commander-in-chief, had gone to ask Gao Wenyu at the Provincial Governor’s Mansion for an explanation and to intimidate him.

Now that Wei Wuji had had an accident, could it be that he was injured at the Provincial Governor’s Mansion?

"Is there a Great Grandmaster stationed in Camp Geng at the moment?"

Qin Zheng kept his composure and looked at Pei Qing, asking aloud.

"Before Lord Xiang left, Grandmaster Liu from Camp Jiazi had already come and taken over as the General of Camp Geng!"

Pei Qing immediately responded.

"Good."

Qin Zheng nodded and then looked towards Zhao Li, saying, "Senior?"

"I will go with you!"

Zhao Li said gravely.

He had come to Qingzhou originally to help Wei Wuji slay the Cangyuan Dragon Lord, but had been delayed slighted, and by the time he arrived, the Cangyuan Dragon Lord had already been dealt with.

He then intended to go to the Moxu Demon Lair to intimidate the Great Demon there, but almost slipped up, and instead, it was Qin Zheng who saved him.

As a supreme Grandmaster from the Imperial Capital Taiwu Institution, not having been of any help during his visit weighed on him.

With such a situation now, he naturally wouldn’t stand by idly.

However, after saying this, he turned his gaze to Pei Qing and then spoke, "You return as quickly as possible and deliver a message for me!"

The Quanyang Gao Family and the Demon Den have teamed up, intending to seize the Qinglong Remains, and this matter must be reported to the court with utmost urgency!

...

Yongyuan County, Lin Yuan City.

Since the Cangyuan Dragon Lord was executed, the Four-handed Ape King died, and the Green-scaled Fish King fled without a trace.

The tense atmosphere in Lin Yuan City, which had persisted for decades, suddenly dissipated.

Without these top-level Great Demons restraining them, Lin Yuan City felt like a strong person who had broken free from shackles, its deterrent power suddenly increasing, influencing the entire Qingzhou.

And the citizens within Lin Yuan City could clearly feel that, compared to before, the atmosphere inside the city was much more lively.

It was as if the gigantic rock pressing on everyone’s chest had fallen to the ground, everyone relaxed a bit, and the mood lightened considerably.

However, just a day before, after a luxurious carriage entered Lin Yuan City, this atmosphere suddenly changed dramatically!

First, the Commander-in-chief’s direct disciples all returned, followed by the Generals of Camps A, B, and C entering Lin Yuan City.

Each of these powerfully aura-bearing individuals arrived with grim expressions.

For a time, the atmosphere emitted from the General’s Compound was entirely oppressive.

This atmosphere also spread throughout Lin Yuan City.

Gloomy! Oppressive! Panicky!

It felt as if an invisible dark cloud had once again enveloped the sky above Lin Yuan City!

The citizens of Lin Yuan City, although unaware of what had happened, understood that with such a display, something significant was about to occur!

Even when the Commander-in-chief took action to slay the great menace of Qingzhou, the Cangyuan Dragon Lord, such a massive display was not seen!

There had to be a crisis more severe than the Dragon Transformation of the Cangyuan Dragon Lord!

Thus, the entire Lin Yuan City for a time felt like dark clouds were pressing down, the citizens freezing in fear and unease.

When Qin Zheng galloped into Lin Yuan City, the first thing he felt was this heavy, oppressive atmosphere.

Qin Zheng’s expression hardened slightly.

"Let’s go, back to the compound to understand the situation."

Zhao Li spoke in a heavy voice.

Qin Zheng nodded.

Immediately, the two rode swiftly and soon arrived at the front gate of the General’s Compound.

At that moment, several officers were stationed at the gate. Seeing Qin Zheng, they immediately brightened up and shouted loudly, "Lord Qin!"

Their gaze then shifted to Zhao Li next to Qin Zheng, and they continued shouting, "Lord Zhao!"

Zhao Li had visited once before, and these officers were aware of his identity.

"What has happened?"

Qin Zheng dismounted, casually handing the reins to an officer who came up to him, and asked aloud.

The Colonel replied with a grave tone, "The Commander-in-chief left the day before yesterday and hasn’t returned since. Yesterday, a few officials from the Provincial Governor’s Mansion arrived with an unfriendly demeanor!"

Qin Zheng nodded, exchanging glances with Zhao Li. His suspicions were confirmed in that moment.

Indeed!

Wei Wuji was in trouble!

The two wasted no time and were about to enter the compound to see what the officials from the Provincial Governor’s Mansion were up to.

Just then, a figure clad in brocaded silk appeared at the gate, blocking their path.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Li grunted softly.

The figure, unafraid, first clasped his hands and said, "I am Gao Wuxing, and I have seen Lord Zhao of the Taiwu Academy!"

Without waiting for Zhao Li’s response, he turned his gaze to Qin Zheng, sizing him up before asking mockingly, "And you are Qin Zheng?"

Qin Zheng’s gaze remained calm as he looked at yet another member of the Gao family, saying, "Step aside."

Gao Wuxing’s lips curled slightly in a sneer, responding, "Step aside?"

"Do you know..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Zheng had already stepped forward, reaching Gao Wuxing in an instant while slamming down with his palm!

"How dare you!!"

At the same time, a thunderous shout erupted from within the compound.

Suddenly, a tremendous surge of demonic energy shot up into the sky, and a shadow charged towards Qin Zheng at high speed!

As Zhao Li was about to react, Qin Zheng was even quicker.

The palm that was bearing down didn’t change, while his other hand shot out instantly.

As the shadow charged at him, he quickly clenched his hand into a fist and hurled it directly!

Bang!!

The air burst into a roar under this punch!

Immediately, fist met figure, and the shadow was flung back even faster than it had arrived, crashing into a rockery.

Boom!!

It only stopped after smashing through it.

By this time, Qin Zheng’s bearing-down palm had also swiftly descended amid the gradually frightened gaze of Gao Wuqing.

Thud!

A muffled sound followed, and Gao Wuying was struck heavily, immediately collapsing unconscious.

Qin Zheng did not deliver a killing blow, as the situation was still unclear and killing someone outright would deepen the conflict.

The details could wait until he met the other direct disciples and understood the situation.

Picking up his opponent by the neck as easily as one picks up a dead dog, Qin Zheng, with a placid expression, stepped into the compound.

At this moment, the Great Demon he had just punched flew back, appearing in the form of an elderly man with silver hair.

Although it was a Great Demon of the Demon Saint Realm, it was no match for the present Qin Zheng.

Its muscles and bones were shattered under that punch, and it struggled to climb up from the rubble.

It soon noticed a shadow looming over it.

"Do you know who he is?!" the Great Demon barked without thinking.

However, it did not receive a verbal response from Qin Zheng, only to be met with a sharp slash of the blade.

Swish!

With one swing, the corpse was divided!

Immediately, the gigantic body of a Silver Fox appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Previously, fearing too much damage to the compound, Qin Zheng hadn’t used much force in that punch, leaving the Silver Fox Demon enough breath to speak.

Qin Zheng sheathed his sword calmly and then looked around at the Colonels who had rushed over, saying, "Please take care of disposing of this demon’s corpse."

With that, he nodded at Zhao Li and then turned to walk towards the inner courtyard.

Zhao Li watched Qin Zheng’s figure, particularly noting the way he carried the member of the Gao family like a dead dog.

He shook his head slightly. It wasn’t the first or second time Qin Zheng had killed a member of the Gao family, so there was nothing shocking about it.

However... a direct descendant of the prestigious Gao Family of Quanyang and the Governor of Qingzhou was openly breeding a Great Demon of the Demon Saint Realm and even brought it directly into the headquarters of the Demon Slayers in the province!

A cold light flashed in Zhao Li’s eyes.

He then stepped forward, following Qin Zheng’s pace toward the inner courtyard.

After the two left, the surrounding Colonels finally recovered from their shock.

They first went forward to stand before the massive carcass of the Silver Fox.

Having just been killed, the remnants of its vast power were still dissipating, leaving the group of Colonels horrified yet awestruck.

But the more they felt this way, the more turbulent their emotions became!

Strong! Powerful! Majestic!

These three words instantly emerged in the minds of the Colonels.

The members of the Gao family from the Provincial Governor’s Mansion had been arrogantly throwing their weight around in the Commander-in-chief’s compound since that day, angering countless people.

And this Silver Fox Demon, having previously assumed the form of an elderly human, had brazenly entered the compound without any reverence!

While the others were incensed, they also felt helpless.

Even the seniors in the inner court hadn’t said or done much, leaving them no choice but to remain silent.

But they had not expected that upon Lord Qin’s return, he would immediately, effortlessly deal with both offenders!

One was knocked out and carried like a dead dog; the other had its head severed and its corpse laid out before them.

In that moment, the figure in the Gold-Patterned Profound Robe seemed to loom larger in their minds, overshadowing the brilliance of all the direct disciples.

Almost rivaling Commander-in-chief Wei Wuji!

"Just how powerful is Lord Qin...?"

After a long silence, a voice suddenly broke the calm.

No one answered the question.

They only hoped that Lord Qin would be very strong, incredibly strong!
