Chapter 154: Chapter 151: If You Kill Us, Wei Wuji Must Die! (Please Subscribe)
When they clearly saw the young man carrying the two figures, limp as dead dogs.
Whether it was the Great General of the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma camps, the distant Xiang Qingyu and others, or the remaining three Great Grandmasters of the Provincial Governor’s Mansion.
A moment of bewilderment flashed across their faces at this moment.
For Xiang Qingyu and the others, these two men—one noble, a scion of the Gao Clan, the other powerfully skilled, a Great Grandmaster on par with the Commander-in-chief!
This was also the reason why the people of the Provincial Governor’s Mansion entering Lin Yuan City urgently summoned the Great General of the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma camps.
Without the Commander-in-chief, the difference in strength was too great to suppress the other side!
Even with the arrival of the Great General of the three camps, the gap in strength was still evident and difficult to bridge.
That is why they had been in a standoff with the people from the Provincial Governor’s Mansion in the General’s Compound for over a day.
They knew that the people from the Provincial Governor’s Mansion had come not truly to have them switch allegiance to the Provincial Governor’s Mansion from the Demon Slayer camp.
But to demonstrate their power!
To warn them!
The foundation of the Provincial Governor’s Mansion was strong, even a Provincial Commander coming over would still end up crushed!
To make them realize, within Qingzhou, who was truly powerful, who controlled the skies of Qingzhou!
Nothing could stop what the Provincial Governor’s Mansion meant to do!
Wei Wuji couldn’t do it!
The Qingzhou Demon Slayers couldn’t do it!
Su Zimo, Xiang Qingyu, and others had gradually come to accept this outcome, especially since even the Commander-in-chief had been defeated, there was no use in their further resistance.
But at this moment, when the figure in the Gold-Patterned Profound Robe appeared, it immediately dispelled this shaky thought in their minds.
Especially for Xiang Qingyu!
Seeing Wu Yuguang, who with a casual punch had nearly crippled them, now bloodied and broken, carried like a dead dog by the young man.
He felt a surge of emotions within him.
No envy or jealousy, no bitterness or anger, only a sense of redemption like seeing the first light break through the darkness.
Master... there’s hope!
Such a thought surged in Xiang Qingyu’s heart.
For the three Great Grandmasters of the Provincial Governor’s Mansion, their every move on this trip was under the command of Wu Yuguang.
Now, this Great Grandmaster had barely dashed out before being carried back like a dead dog, leaving them unsure of their next move.
However, the bewilderment of the crowd was only momentary.
The three Great Grandmasters of the Provincial Governor’s Mansion quickly recovered.
Instantly forgoing the Great General of the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma camps, two of them rushed at Qin Zheng, attempting to snatch Gao Wuying and Wu Yuguang from his grasp.
The last one exerted full Qinggong to flee.
The situation had changed!
Such a strong presence in Lin Yuan City, they must report back to the Provincial Governor’s Mansion immediately!
While their plan was good and their actions were swift, in the face of overwhelming power, all plans were in vain!
Qin Zheng looked calmly at the three Great Grandmasters charging towards him and slowly loosened his hands, letting Gao Wuying and Wu Yuguang fall to the ground.
At the same time, he raised his hand, ready to subdue the three Great Grandmasters from the Provincial Governor’s Mansion.
Whoosh!
Just then, a dark figure burst out from his side.
"Leave these three to this old man!"
Simultaneously, Zhao Li’s voice rang by Qin Zheng’s ear.
This Great Grandmaster from the Capital City, having had no chance to demonstrate his strengths since arriving, finally found his opportunity!
His figure as quick as a shadow, in an instant rushed towards the two Great Grandmasters.
Immediately, with his Gang Qi enfolding his palms, he made a slashing motion with his hand-chop!
Whoosh!!
A crescent-like blade glimmered suddenly.
Following that, the two Great Grandmasters from the Provincial Governor’s Mansion were sent flying at an even faster speed!
Blood sprayed on the spot!
Then they smashed harshly to the ground, unable to struggle any further.
In just an encounter, two Great Grandmasters from the Provincial Governor’s Mansion were gravely injured!
Immediately afterwards, without a moment’s pause, Zhao Li stepped forward, then dashed at an even greater speed towards the escaping Grandmaster.
At this point, the latter hadn’t gotten far, not even out of sight!
In an instant, Zhao Li caught up, and with another hand-chop, gravely injured him!
As easy as crumbling dry twigs, as natural as flowing water!
This sequence captured in the eyes of Xiang Qingyu and others inspired such a description in their minds.
"Lord Zhao!"
When Zhao Li walked back with his hands behind his back.
The Great Generals of the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma camps spoke respectfully immediately.
As a good friend of Wei Wuji, Zhao Li was naturally not new to Qingzhou, so the three Great Generals recognized him.
Zhao Li nodded at this, then his gaze shifted slightly towards where Qin Zheng was.
Hmph, kid, see, I am not lacking either!
He thought to himself.
But his subtle implication seemed to have been lost on Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng then picked up Gao Wuying and Wu Yuguang again, walking towards the hall where they had earlier been negotiating and confronting each other.
At the same time, with a calm voice, he said, "Bring everyone in, and let’s see what the situation is."
Upon hearing his words, the Great General of the Third Regiment nodded immediately, and with a leap, he stepped forward and picked up the three severely injured Great Grandmasters of the Provincial Governor’s Mansion.
They knew Zhao Li, and they naturally knew Qin Zheng too.
Although it was their first meeting, they were clear about the fact that Qin Zheng had slain the Cangyuan Dragon Lord.
Regarding this new Direct Disciple of the Commander-in-chief, they could only sigh in their hearts—
In the shallow waters of Qingzhou, a True Dragon was indeed about to rise!
After Qin Zheng entered the great hall where matters were discussed, Xiang Qingyu, as if waking from a dream, gathered his wits, his hand grasping a halberd, looked somewhat nervously and restrainedly at Qin Zheng.
However, Qin Zheng just swept past him without saying much.
When he arrived in front of Su Zimo, Sun Zhilan, and Fuyu, he stopped, looked at them, and asked, "Are you all right?"
As fellow Direct Disciples of the Commander-in-chief, although not very familiar with each other, they were still considered family in the end.
Su Zimo shook his head, then went on to say, "These are minor issues; the main concern is our master’s situation."
Qin Zheng nodded and then, under the gaze of the four Direct Disciples, he casually dropped Gao Wuying and Wu Yuguang on the ground, and then found a place to sit down.
At that moment, the Great General of the Third Regiment also came in, similarly dropping the three Great Grandmasters of the Provincial Governor’s Mansion on the ground.
Thus, at that moment, those from the Provincial Governor’s Mansion who had just appeared imposing, were now bloodied and lying on the ground.
"What exactly happened?"
Qin Zheng asked.
At this time, Zhao Li also came in and sat beside Qin Zheng.
People subtly observed this scene.
Su Zimo pondered for a moment before speaking, "Our master should be confined within the grounds of the Provincial Governor’s Mansion. His life isn’t in danger, but he definitely has been injured."
As he spoke, his gaze fell to the ground where Wu Yuguang lay with severed limbs and unstable breath.
He then spoke earnestly, "The Provincial Governor’s Mansion has hidden so deep! They actually have a Great Grandmaster not inferior to master!"
Following that, his expression turned serious as he looked at Qin Zheng and continued, "Their coming here, besides wanting to humiliate us, also brought words from Governor Gao of the Province."
"If we want to bring master back to Lin Yuan City, we have to exchange him for a statement of allegiance!"
This statement immediately darkened everyone’s expressions, and a chill sparked in their eyes.
Qin Zheng’s eyes slightly narrowed as he asked, "What statement of allegiance?"
Xiang Qingyu coldly said, "They want us to change sides, acknowledging only the Provincial Governor’s Mansion and no longer Lin Yuan City."
What sort of statement of allegiance was this? It was an even more humiliating insult!
It was not just a humiliation to them, but also to Wei Wuji!
"This Gao Wenyu is indeed presumptuous!"
Even Zhao Li couldn’t help but speak out and rebuke at this moment.
Qin Zheng, however, still maintained his calm.
He stood up, walked over to Wu Yuguang, and using the blade of the Ghost Head Greatsword, he tapped the other man’s face and asked, "What have you done to the Commander-in-chief?"
The chilling intent made Wu Yuguang awaken from his daze. The severity of his injuries had numbed him to pain, leaving only endless numbness.
The moment he heard Qin Zheng’s cold voice, his mind swiftly focused.
Struggling to open his eyes, looking at the young man who had incapacitated him with a single punch, he opened his mouth weakly and said, "We cannot return... Wei Wuji... cannot survive either."
After this statement, everyone’s expression instantly darkened, and the atmosphere turned severely heavy!
Zhao Li even slammed the table and stood up, shouting harshly, "Brother Wei is a Commander-in-chief conferred by the imperial court! How dare you say you can kill him just like that!"
Yet his eyes were filled with solemnity, and worry surged within.
If it were anyone else, arbitrarily imprisoning and killing a Provincial Commander would certainly incite the imperial court’s wrath.
But if it were the Quanyang Gao Family, that was a different story.
After all, they were even ready to give up Qingzhou, putting tens of millions of its citizens at the mercy of demons!
If they dared to do such a thing, what would killing a Commander-in-chief matter to them?
Wu Yuguang scoffed but didn’t respond to Zhao Li.
Instead, he fixed his gaze on Qin Zheng and continued to speak, "And you, even if you luckily escaped from the Moxu Demon Lair, you won’t avoid death!"
"Stealing Lord Gao’s things, there’s no one under heaven who can..."
As he spoke, appearing as if he was having a fleeting resurgence of vigor, his words were coherent, and his expression animated.
But before he could finish his second sentence, a flash of the blade suddenly lit up.
Then Wu Yuguang’s head, full of shock, rolled to the ground.
"Nonsensical prattle."
Qin Zheng spoke indifferently, then approached Gao Wuying, positioning the blade tip against his palm and then piercing into the flesh.
Ah!!!
Gao Wuying, who was unconscious, immediately woke up screaming in agony!
As his gaze met Qin Zheng’s, his face filled with rage. Just as he was about to curse, the Greatsword that had pierced his palm was withdrawn and then placed at his neck.
The icy blade brought him to an instant realization, as he suppressed the intense pain and fear and said, "I am a descendant of the Gao Clan, what do you intend to do?!"
Qin Zheng remained calm and asked again, "What have you done to the Commander-in-chief?"
In that moment, Gao Wuying, terrified and having been coddled since childhood, unaccustomed to such scenes, quickly responded, "That old dog provoked us at the gate of the Provincial Governor’s Mansion, and my father stepped in and severely injured him, then confined him in the mansion!"
"It was that old dog who struck first! My father kindly spared him..."
Whoosh!
A flash of the blade shone brightly, and another head full of astonishment rolled to the ground.
"We depart for Yongle County tomorrow."
Simultaneously, Qin Zheng’s voice resonated within the council hall.
