Clackety-clack~
Two carriages, one after the other, sped along the official road.
Wei Wushuang sat with his eyes closed, his expression serene, betraying none of his inner thoughts.
"Second Master, what realm do you think that lad has reached?"
Just then, from outside the carriage, the driver—who was a peak Great Grandmaster—suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Wei Wushuang slowly opened his eyes.
"He must have reached the threshold of the limit just like me, but... he is likely to be somewhat stronger,"
he speculated before he proceeded to articulate his thoughts.
While speaking, his gaze inadvertently fell upon his own wrist.
Having touched the threshold of ’Essence’s’ extreme limit, the body begins to transform, strength surges, and recovery abilities greatly increase.
Hence the shattered bones in his wrist had long healed and recovered.
But the intense pain of his bones being crushed lingered in his heart for a long time.
He could sense that the other party had not used his full strength!
The hidden yet unreleased power was like a flood waiting to burst through a dam, which would have inexorably swept him away had he chosen to resist at that moment!
That such an individual would appear in little Qingzhou was no wonder Wei Wuji had given up the opportunity he had worked decades to earn for him.
Given such aptitude, if he really were to observe the Enlightenment Divine Stele, he might well make a breakthrough to a Half-Step Martial Saint in one fell swoop!
As for becoming a Martial Saint...
Wei Wushuang laughed softly.
Among the myriad martial artists of Great Jin, there is no shortage of geniuses, but the position of National Martial Saint has always been held by the same eighteen.
Many prodigies quickly reach the peak of Great Grandmasters with their remarkable talents after stepping into the realm of Martial Arts, but that is also where they plateau.
Afterward, they remain stuck there for life, unable to advance any further.
Advancing to the realm of Martial Saint requires not only astounding talent and perseverance but also opportunities that are difficult for ordinary people to come by!
This path is exceedingly difficult!
At this thought, Wei Wushuang couldn’t help but sigh deeply, full of emotion.
After a few moments of silence, the driver, who was a peak Great Grandmaster, spoke again:
"That lad is cruel and ruthless, not only did he kill Gao Wenyu, but he also exterminated his entire family, effectively severing the Gao Clan’s lineage in Qingzhou."
"The Gao Clan will certainly take action against him, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, to uphold their authority."
"It will take at least several days to get to the Capital City. The Gao Clan may very likely take this time to seek revenge. When that happens, should we..."
By having Qin Zheng follow them to the Capital City, the underlying purpose was clear to all.
But since he wasn’t a Wei Family offspring, it was hard to gauge the exact relationship between apparently hostile brothers.
Add to that, the Quanyang Gao Family is the most powerful and aggressive clan under the Great Jin royal family, so it’s best to avoid provoking them if possible, which was why such questions arose at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Wei Wushuang’s expression remained largely unchanged as he spoke, "After all, he did it to save my worthless brother."
"Within the limits of what we can, we’ll escort him to the Capital City. If it exceeds our capabilities, then we can say we’ve done our moral duty."
Hearing this, the driver, a peak Great Grandmaster, felt reassured and responded, "Yes."
"Second Master, about this Qingzhou..."
He seemed to want to ask something more.
"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t."
Wei Wushuang calmly answered, then closed his eyes and retreated into silence.
Aware that he had misspoken, the peak Great Grandmaster outside the carriage said no more.
But he was clear on one thing: their long journey to Qingzhou wasn’t on receiving the news that Wei Wuji was trapped; they had already set out prior to that!
The reason for this was not clear to him, but he had heard rumors that Qingzhou might soon undergo a great upheaval!
With this in mind, he unwittingly tightened his grip on the reins.
The four sturdy Demon Horses in the front sped up, pushing the carriage to an even faster pace.
Behind, the carriage from Lin Yuan City closely followed.
Fuyu was acting as the driver in the front, with Qin Zheng and Zhao Li sitting inside the carriage.
Feeling the sudden acceleration of the carriage ahead, both of them awoke from their restful states.
"Are they trying to shake us off?"
Zhao Li asked, his eyebrows slightly furrowing.
Qin Zheng, however, remained calm and unaffected.
"Junior Brother Qin, what should we do?"
Fuyu inquired from outside the carriage.
"It’s fine, just maintain the current speed,"
Qin Zheng said slowly.
For him now, even if he had to go to the Capital City alone, he wasn’t afraid of any dangers he might encounter on the way.
After all, having broken through to a strength of one hundred jin, he was already on par with a Half-Step Martial Saint who had breached the limit of ’Essence’.
If the Quanyang Gao Family wished to take revenge, at most they would send someone of such realm after him.
And as for National Martial Saints, without involving a national crisis or the annihilation of the Gao Clan, these beings wouldn’t be easily moved to act.
So Qin Zheng felt no fear in his heart, and in fact, he was somewhat looking forward to it.
He had killed so many of the Gao Clan, and without exception, they were all burdened with heinous sins, providing him with no small amount of merit.
Just Gao Wenyu alone had provided several hundred jin of merit!
Qin Zheng was curious: how much merit would a Half-Step Martial Saint of the Gao Clan be worth?
Hearing Qin Zheng’s words, Fuyu readily agreed.
To this day, he held an inexplicable trust in Qin Zheng.
It seemed that any crisis before Qin Zheng was no crisis at all and would be quickly and effortlessly resolved by him.
From outside Lin Yuan City, by Fuxian Lake, Qin Zheng made several moves to slay the Python Lord.
Later, he resolved a series of crises that occurred in Yongan County: a Great Demon entering the camp, the Gao Clan causing chaos, an invasion of demons...
Then, he timely stepped in, killed the Cangyuan Dragon Lord, went to Moxu Demon Lair to kill the Saint Envoy, and finally went to the Provincial Governor’s Mansion to rescue his master...
Each of these events, if it had happened to someone else, would seem like almost insoluble serious crises.
But as long as Junior Brother Qin was present, he could quickly and easily resolve them.
And he did so with a crushing force that could pulverize all obstacles in its path!
Therefore, at this moment, Fuyu held utmost respect and reverence for Qin Zheng, without any condition.
However, Zhao Li still retained some level of rationality. He looked at Qin Zheng and hesitated to speak.
With the protection of the Wei Family, the chances of encountering danger would be much smaller.
So, no matter whether the carriage ahead wanted to shake them off, the best choice was to catch up with it quickly.
This was Wei Wuji’s painstaking intention.
But as he looked into Qin Zheng’s calm and clear eyes, he naturally understood that this young man acted according to his principles; thus, he did not ponder further.
"The journey to the Capital City is long and, at our current pace, it will likely take around ten days,"
he said, looking at Qin Zheng.
Ten days were enough time for many things to happen.
Qin Zheng nodded, then smiled lightly and said, "Senior, rest assured."
After speaking, Qin Zheng closed his eyes to cultivate his Inner Strength.
Martial Arts could not only be improved through the acquisition of merit but also through cultivation, even though it was time-consuming and exhausting.
Zhao Li’s expression showed a hint of helplessness, and he too closed his eyes to quietly settle down.
The atmosphere once again fell silent.
And not long after, Fuyu noticed that the Wei Family carriage, which had sped ahead out of sight, had slowed down, seemingly waiting for them.
Once their carriage caught up, the other one picked up speed again.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Li finally relaxed.
Time slowly passed, and the two carriages quickly traveled beyond Qingzhou’s boundaries, gradually drawing closer to the Capital City in the Central Plains Region.
This was Qin Zheng’s first time leaving Qingzhou and experiencing the scenery of other places.
Along the way, they occasionally encountered demons that were not wise enough to avoid them, but in the end, they all turned into Qin Zheng’s merit.
His proactive attitude toward demon slaying somewhat caught Wei Wushuang’s attention.
And when the fifth day came, and they were nearly halfway through their journey,
the weather was hot, and by chance, there was a tea shed by the roadside.
The Wei Family carriage slowly stopped there.
Fuyu’s eyes sparkled, and he too stopped his carriage.
Wei Wushuang stepped out of the carriage, glanced at Fuyu, and walked directly into the tea shed.
At this time, Qin Zheng also got out of the carriage, stepped onto the ground, and walked toward the tea shed.
Fuyu was ready to follow, but at that moment, a large hand landed on his shoulder, stopping him.
He turned around with confusion and saw Zhao Li’s face full of seriousness.
"Senior..."
Fuyu instantly had an epiphany in his heart.
The people from the Gao Family had come!
"With the Wei Family stepping in, there shouldn’t be too much trouble. Let’s wait here,"
Zhao Li said, then turned and went back inside the carriage.
In front of the Gao Family and the Wei Family, he, a mere Great Grandmaster from Taiwu Academy, couldn’t do much. It was better to just sit and wait for changes.
"Alright,"
Fuyu responded, then turned his gaze to the tea shed not far away, his eyes filled with concern.
...
"Sir, what kind of tea would you like?"
When Qin Zheng walked into the tea shed, the elderly shopkeeper came up eagerly and respectfully asked.
These gentlemen, with their clothing and bearing, were obviously wealthy!
Qin Zheng did not respond immediately but looked ahead.
He saw at one corner of the tea shed, a table where Wei Wushuang was sitting, along with a gaunt, sinister-looking old man.
Qin Zheng withdrew his gaze, took out some silver pieces, placed them on the table beside him, and said, "Leave this place."
Having said that, he casually walked over to that table and sat down calmly.
"Heh, truly a calf who is not afraid of the tiger!"
As Qin Zheng took his seat, the sinister old man immediately scoffed, not looking at Qin Zheng but turning his eyes to Wei Wushuang, and said, "Are you going to protect him?"
Wei Wushuang’s expression was cold. He did not answer but instead said, "Gao Wenyu shattered my younger brother’s Essence Qi Spirit. How do you propose we settle this account?"
The sinister old man shook his head and spoke dismissively, "In the end, he’s still alive. My nephew is dead, his entire family is dead. No matter how you calculate it, you should not be questioning me."
Upon hearing this, Wei Wushuang’s expression instantly turned grim, and a cold light surged in his eyes.
After the old man said this, he finally turned his head to look at Qin Zheng, his expression arrogant as if a deity were looking down on ants.
"If you take your own life, I can let bygones be bygones, otherwise..."
Before he could finish, a large hand reached out and landed on his shoulder.
Then, an irresistible and overwhelming force surged like floodwaters bursting through a dam!
His body involuntarily smashed forcefully forward!
Bang!!
The ground shook violently!
The tea shed instantly collapsed!
