Chapter 200: Chapter 196: Qin Zheng’s Land of Fortune! (Please Subscribe)

Great Jin, Xuanzhou.

Located in the eastern part of the Great Jin, it was vast in area, comprising eighteen counties and a hundred cities within just one state.

And on one side of Xuanzhou, there was also Jingzhou, which was equally not small in size.

Adjacent to each other, the two states together had thirty-eight counties and several hundred cities.

Such a vast territory and so many cities naturally fostered a huge population.

But Xuanzhou and Jingzhou were no peaceful lands!

Within their borders lurked numerous monsters, and perilous Demon Mountains were everywhere to say nothing of almost twenty Demon Dens entrenched beyond their borders!

Even with the National Martial Saint Mansion in Xuanzhou, and the National Martial Saint stationed there,

Unless a Demon Saint from outside invaded, the National Martial Saint from the Mansion would hardly step out of the prefectural office.

Below the Great Saint, no matter how the monsters stirred up trouble, it was the duty of the local Demon Slayers.

So when there was no turmoil from the Demon Dens outside the borders, it was up to the Commander-in-chiefs of both states to be in charge of slaying demons and exorcising evil within their territories.

But on this day,

Xuanzhou, Ning’an City.

A figure clad in a Mystic Robe rode swiftly on a Demon Blood steed towards the National Martial Saint Mansion.

His face, right now, was filled with urgency.

"Xuanzhou’s Commander-in-chief Deng Yunzhong seeks an audience with the National Martial Saint!"

He dismounted in one motion and walked up to the front of the Warrior Saint Mansion, calling out in haste.

But just as he finished speaking, a fan-sized hand landed on his shoulder, gently patting it as a voice sounded, "General Deng, why so frantic?"

It was as if Deng Yunzhong had fallen into an ice den, his complexion turning instantly pale.

Soon after, a burly man with a dark face appeared in his view, mockingly saying, "All flustered, you even forgot to bring your men along. But don’t worry, they’re now resting in my belly, so you can consider that they’ve followed you."

"Ah, they all called for your name in their final moments."

Hearing these words, Deng Yunzhong’s eyes instantly reddened, veins popped on his forehead, and a beast-like roar emanated from his throat.

Just as he was about to take action, a figure suddenly stepped out from the National Martial Saint Mansion and stood in front of him.

"Why has Great Sage Shiyue come to our Great Jin?"

The newcomer was clad in Xuan Armor, wielding a large spear, his aura of a Half-Step Martial Saint rampantly overflowing.

The dark-faced giant scoffed contemptuously, but nonetheless replied, "I have some matters to discuss with Brother Gao, lead me to him quickly."

Hearing this, the Half-Step Martial Saint’s expression remained unchanged as he promptly said, "Great Sage Shiyue, please enter the mansion."

The dark-faced man nodded and, without giving Deng Yunzhong another glance, strutted into the National Martial Saint Mansion.

"Lord Mu!"

Deng Yunzhong’s eyes were red and he let out a desperate low shout.

Mu Jinyan shook his head, then with a grave expression, followed into the Warrior Saint Mansion.

But at this moment, an urgent voice resounded in Deng Yunzhong’s mind, "Lord Gao has already left Xuanzhou, seek reinforcement quickly!"

His already anger-inflated face turned ghastly pale in an instant.

The Great Demon of the Demon race had entered Xuanzhou, but at this moment, there was no National Martial Saint in Xuanzhou!

Did this not mean that Xuanzhou was now like a piece of fat on the chopping board, at the mercy of this Demon race Great Saint?

He must seek help!

They must get a National Martial Saint!

Otherwise, if the old demon realized that neither Xuanzhou nor Jingzhou had a Martial Saint guarding them, an unimaginable disaster would surely occur!

National Martial Saint Mansion.

Council Hall.

The dark-faced giant sat in the empty seat of honor with an air of arrogance, his gaze contemptuously fixed on Mu Jinyan, who had followed him in.

"Brother Gao is not in Xuanzhou?"

The giant slightly raised his eyebrows, his question laced with an ambiguous tone.

"Lord Gao is out on business, but he can return at any moment. If you have any matters, Great Sage Shiyue, you can discuss them with me first, and I can make decisions on Brother Gao’s behalf," Mu Jinyan responded calmly.

The giant laughed derisively, without hesitation, and directly stated, "My lady wife has just given birth and is a bit weak now, in need of a city’s population to replenish her strength."

"I’ve come here to negotiate with Brother Gao, to see which city would be best to select."

"Since you say you can decide for Brother Gao, then you tell me, which city should I choose?"

By the end of his words, the corner of the giant’s mouth curled up slightly.

Mu Jinyan, hearing this, struggled to maintain his composure, but signs of anger soon showed.

His face reddened, veins bulging, his body trembling slightly with rage, as if flames were rising in his eyes.

Damnable!

Truly despicably damnable!

His heart roared and howled at this moment, yet he was powerless to do anything but suppress the urge to lash out recklessly.

Otherwise, for Xuanzhou at this moment, if he provoked this great demon opposite him, countless civilians would suffer the consequences!

Seeing him like this, the giant immediately burst into boisterous laughter.

Then he continued to speak, "How about Fuyuan City? The population is nearly a million; it should be enough to help my lady recuperate."

Saying this, he then shook his head, rejecting the thought, "No, Fuyuan City is a bit too far. Perhaps Dingyuan City, though smaller in population, is closer to my Shi Yue Yao Ku."

"..."

The giant kept talking,

But Mu Jinyan was no longer listening, feeling overcome by a sense of extreme urgency, his mind buzzing, his thoughts a blank.

Smack!

At that moment,

A series of clear footsteps broke the silence.

It was as if hitting a trigger point, instantly interrupting the giant’s words.

"You, step outside for a moment."

Then, a hand gently patted his shoulder, followed by a calm voice.

Mu Jinyan turned his head to see that next to him had appeared a young figure clad in a Gold-Patterned Profound Robe, seemingly out of nowhere.

"I..."

His expression shifted slightly as he looked at the youth, his mind unable to think of any of the eighteen National Martial Saints of the Great Jin who matched the person before him.

Facing a Great Demon of the Demon race, anyone other than a National Martial Saint would simply add to the death toll, meaningless no matter how many came.

"A recently promoted National Martial Saint?"

At that moment, the voice of the burly man interrupted Mu Jinyan’s chaotic thoughts.

A newly appointed National Martial Saint?!

This was the recently promoted nineteenth National Martial Saint of the Great Jin?!

In that instant, the tense strings in his heart relaxed.

No matter if it was a recent promotion, as long as a National Martial Saint stepped forward, everything could find room for maneuver!

"Yes!"

So Mu Jinyan bowed with his fists in respect and then, without any hesitation, turned and left the council hall.

But before he completely departed, he heard the voice of the Great Demon again, "Are you the one replacing Brother Gao’s position?"

"How about this, Xuanzhou has a hundred cities, you cede fifty to me, and for a hundred years, I will not disturb you..."

That was the last sentence Mu Jinyan heard.

Once he stepped out of the council hall, the door instantly closed shut, silencing any sounds.

Immediately after.

Boom!

An explosive boom suddenly erupted.

The massive Warrior Saint Mansion shook violently at that moment.

Mu Jinyan immediately turned around to look back at the council hall.

The source of the shaking boom was indeed the very council hall he had just left!

Bang!

Then, under his gaze, the roof of the council hall suddenly burst open, and a black-skinned Dog Demon flew out.

Swish!

Right after, the figure in the Gold-Patterned Profound Robe dashed out, grabbed the black-skinned Dog Demon, and soared toward the sky in an instant.

Mu Jinyan stood dumbfounded, watching this scene unfold.

As someone who had transcended the ’Divine’ limit and become a Half-Step Martial Saint.

In that brief moment, he could clearly feel that the aura of the Dog Demon had plummeted to nearly nothing!

So... the newly appointed National Martial Saint had, in just a single encounter, dealt with the Great Sage Shiyue!

This thought flashed through Mu Jinyan’s mind.

His entire head buzzed, as if happiness had come too suddenly and dreamily, almost too incredible to believe.

"Lord Mu!"

At that time, Deng Yunzhong, clothed in black Mystic Robe, quickly approached him.

"I have already sent a message to the Capital City and the nearby National Martial Saint Mansions in Xuanzhou!"

He looked at the dispirited Mu Jinyan, his heart sinking in an instant, and hastily spoke up.

He was also clearly aware of the commotion that had taken place within the Warrior Saint Mansion and saw the Great Sage Shiyue reveal his true form and head toward the heavens.

Deng Yunzhong only thought that the Demon realized the truth that Xuanzhou had no Martial Saint to defend it and intended to leave to cause chaos.

But after he finished speaking, he saw Mu Jinyan before him slowly shake his head.

"Is it too late?!" Deng Yunzhong’s face turned pale as he spoke in despair.

"No."

Mu Jinyan continued to shake his head, but this time, his voice was filled with ecstatic joy.

"We don’t need to call for help anymore! The National Martial Saint... has arrived!!"

...

Rumble!

A streak of light shot across the Firmament, causing a tremendous tumult.

Once it reached an uninhabited wilderness with mountains, a dark figure fell rapidly from the high sky toward the earth below.

Boom!

The body of the Dog Demon, tens of feet in size, crashed to the ground, causing the earth to tremble and shake.

Roar~

The Dog Demon, depleted and bleeding from its body, still growled lowly, trying to struggle to its feet.

At this moment, the figure in the Gold-Patterned Profound Robe slowly descended, arriving in front of the Dog Demon.

"[Great Sage Shiyue, a millennia-old Great Demon, whose sins reach the heavens, slaying him grants 6,758 jin 4 taels and three qian of merit!]"

Above Heart Sea, the Merit Scroll vibrated gently, revealing a new line of text.

Feeling Qin Zheng’s approach, the Dog Demon’s body trembled slightly and then spoke resentfully, "If you dare kill me, Xuanzhou will be destroyed in an instant!"

Qin Zheng looked down calmly at the Dog Demon.

Just now in the Human city, killing this Dog Demon outright, with its true form revealed, might have collapsed some buildings, causing a panic among the citizens.

So after crippling the demon with a punch, he directly took it to this uninhabited place.

Ignoring the Dog Demon’s threat, Qin Zheng asked, "Apart from you, how many Great Saints are there in your Demon Den?"

As he finished speaking, the Dog Demon let out a vicious laugh, its eyes full of brutality.

"In my Shi Yue Yao Ku, besides myself, there are three other Great Saints of the Demon race!"

"You’d better let me go, otherwise when the three Great Saints come pressing down, your Great Jin Xuanzhou..."

He couldn’t finish his sentence before a fierce slash cut across his entire field of vision.

Rumble!

The massive Dog head hit the ground.

Blood flowed like rivers.

And at this moment, Qin Zheng’s eyes sparkled as he murmured, "Three heads..."
