National Martial Saint Mansion.

Inside the council hall.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.

"How many people?"

After a few breaths, Qin Zheng slightly bowed his head, his voice calm.

"Millions."

Mu Jinyan’s eyes reddened slightly, but he could only tell the truth.

Millions of the same kind of life were being exchanged for a monster that could very possibly be a Supreme Saint, under the condition it would not step into the territory of Great Jin for a hundred years.

Was it worth it?

From the perspective of the entire population of Great Jin, it actually was.

After all, the existence of a being that could very possibly be a Supreme Saint, should it enter the territory of Great Jin, casualties would no longer be counted in millions, it would be far more severe.

But for those million humans, this was extremely cruel and ruthless.

The National Martial Saint whom they regarded as a god considered them as no more than pigs and dogs, offering them up to the mouths of the demon race, as fodder for the demons!

How cruel!

How desperate!

Qin Zheng remained silent, his calm facade making it impossible for others to discern his real thoughts.

"Lord Qin, should we start taking a census of the population to be gathered?"

Mu Jinyan looked at Qin Zheng, his voice tentative as he spoke slowly.

That Immortal Lord White Bone after all was suspected to be a Supreme Saint. If they didn’t keep their promise and deliver the population on time,

if it angered the other party, a Supreme Saint entering the territory of Xuanzhou, the current Qin Zheng, who had only recently become a Martial Saint, might not be able to cope.

"No need."

Qin Zheng responded.

Then, under Mu Jinyan’s watchful eyes, he saw this newly-promoted Martial Saint slowly stand up.

Step by step he walked out of the council hall.

At the same time, a voice came, "Gather all the information on every Demon Den that has invaded Great Jin over the past hundred years, and report it all to me."

After speaking, without waiting for Mu Jinyan to respond, he suddenly soared into the sky.

"Yes..."

Watching this scene, Mu Jinyan responded blankly.

From the tone of this Lord Qin, he had already understood what the other party wanted to do.

Rather than passively awaiting the arrival of that Immortal Lord White Bone, it was better to clean up the demon dens near Xuanzhou first!

But... would this be effective?

Lord Qin... could he defeat that Immortal Lord White Bone who might ascend to be a Supreme Saint?

These two questions twirled in his mind.

He had thought he would stop this newly-promoted National Martial Saint, as once the balance was broken, it might lead to a terribly heavy price.

Yet his entire heart, at this moment, felt an unprecedented thrill!

Even his blood began to race, and his soul began to tremble.

He understood, this was excitement and anticipation!

It was the roar of hope to completely cleanse the humiliation and despair endured for thousands of years!

"Good!"

So, he nodded emphatically, then immediately turned and left the council hall to organize the materials.

And from that day on,

a figure clad in a Gold-Patterned Profound Robe continually appeared in various perilous Demon Mountains across Xuan and Jing states.

One by one, the Great Demons were swiftly slaughtered.

Exchanging a million humans for the Bone Demon not stepping into Xuanzhou of Great Jin for a hundred years was something Qin Zheng would never agree to.

So, to have a better chance of dealing with the probable crisis,

he could only quickly strengthen himself!

First, he would clear all the monsters within the territories of the two states, transforming them into nourishment for his improvement, then move out of Great Jin to annihilate the demon dens!

...

"A mighty National Martial Saint, how can you bully the weak so!"

Amidst the river, a Flood Dragon roared unwillingly.

[Qing River Flood Dragon, delights in eating human flesh, profoundly sinful; slay it to gain merit of 327 jin, 4 liang, 3 qian]

...

"With your methods, can you protect one state, can you protect the entire Great Jin?!"

In the depths of the mountains, a Mountain Lord roared furiously.

[Tiger Demon of Eastern Mountain, commits all kinds of evil, tangled with sins; slay it to gain merit of 271 jin, 6 liang, 8 qian]

...

Under Qin Zheng’s purge, within just a few days, all the Great Demons in both Xuan and Jing states had been completely eradicated.

Upon learning of this, all the Demon Slayers in the two states were shocked and could not speak for a long time.

A few days later.

Xuanzhou, Ning’an City, National Martial Saint Mansion.

The figure of Qin Zheng descended from the sky, returning to the council hall.

"Lord Qin, here are the documents you requested."

Mu Jinyan had been waiting here already.

Qin Zheng nodded, took the album handed by Mu Jinyan, and started to flip through it.

He did not want to disrupt the balance at this moment, so taking action must be justifiable.

[In the 21st Year of Hong Yuan of Great Jin, monsters subordinate to the Heavenly Demon Cave invaded Xuanzhou, casualties 12,000.]

[In the 37th Year of Hong Yuan of Great Jin, monsters subordinate to the Wanquan Yao Cave invaded Jingzhou, casualties 38,000.]

...

[In the 89th Year of Hong Yuan of Great Jin, monsters subordinate to the Ziyang Demon Cave invaded Xuanzhou, casualties 65,000.]

...

[In the 121st Year of Hong Yuan of Great Jin, monsters subordinate to the Tianlu Demon Den invaded Xuanzhou, casualties 113,000.]

Qin Zheng, looking at the listed information, felt an increasingly fierce chill in his eyes.

Under each line of text, there was an immensely tragic and vicious demon calamity!

After flipping through the last page, Qin Zheng slightly closed his eyes, and the names of various demon dens surfaced in his mind.

"Lord Qin, there are... two more letters here."

At that moment, Mu Jinyan’s voice rang out again. Qin Zheng opened his eyes and took the envelopes handed over to him.

"One is from Chuzhou, next to Xuanzhou."

"The other... from White Bone City."

Mu Jinyan spoke with some trepidation, especially when he mentioned the second letter, his entire being slightly trembled.

"Okay."

Qin Zheng nodded calmly and then first opened the envelope from Chuzhou.

’Demonic activities stir outside Chuzhou. Alone, I lack the strength to cope. With no aid forthcoming from the Capital City, if you can spare any aid, I dearly hope for your support.’

Signed, Wei Yunfeng.

Qin Zheng’s gaze flickered slightly. This must be the Wei Family’s ancestor, right next to him.

Demonic activities stirring...

Qin Zheng put away this letter and then opened the envelope from White Bone City.

The letter was densely packed with characters, but the gist was a warning for Qin Zheng.

The matter of the Shi Yue Yao Den is clear to White Bone City and many other demon dens.

As the century-old agreement has come due, if Qin Zheng is wise and maintains the status quo, ceding ten cities in Xuanzhou, no further grievances will be pursued.

However, if Qin Zheng intends to break the agreement, great demons will enter the region and disrupt Xuanzhou.

Nevertheless, White Bone City will give Qin Zheng a month’s time to make a decision.

Looking at the message, Qin Zheng’s expression remained calm, showing no signs of disturbance.

With a slight pinch of his hand, the paper immediately ignited and turned to ash in moments.

At the same time, he put down the book in his hand and looked at Mu Jinyan, stating, "I will head to Chuzhou for a while and won’t be long."

"Meanwhile, keep a close watch on the movements of the demon dens outside Xuanzhou. If there is any disturbance, send a message to the National Martial Saint Mansion in Chuzhou right away, and I will rush back."

After saying this, he nodded to Mu Jinyan and, without delaying any further, turned and left.

With a crisis at hand and the appearance of reckless demon lords from the Demon race, it was an opportunity Qin Zheng could not let pass!

He left the council hall and shot into the sky, swiftly making his way toward Chuzhou.

...

On the border of Chuzhou.

Two fox demons perched on a mountain peak, their huge tails swishing, as if they could overshadow the sun.

The aura of the Demon Lords unabashedly radiated from the two fox demons.

On the other side, a figure stood boldly, clad in mountain-patterned armor and holding a Phoenix-Wing Gilt Halberd, as a rolling murderous aura emanated from him.

"Wei Wuji, how much longer can your old bones hold up?"

"The Great Jin Dynasty has considered giving up on Chuzhou, so why persist any longer?"

"If you leave now, you could still live for a hundred years in the Capital City, enjoying your twilight years. But if you keep resisting us..."

"You old fellow will only end up buried here and become our food!"

The two fox demons spoke one after the other.

Wei Yunfeng, with his white hair and beard, stood tall, showing no signs of frailty.

"Humph! Want to eat me?"

"Then let’s see who eats whom!!"

The Phoenix-Wing Gilt Halberd suddenly surged with dazzling golden light, and like a luminescent arrow, it fiercely sped toward the two great demons.

Boom!!

The mountain collapsed, and boulders shattered.

But the two fox demons had already leaped to another mountain peak, dodging the strike.

Even if cornered, Wei Yunfeng was still a National Martial Saint.

Despite nearing the end of his lifespan, he was still capable of exhibiting extremely powerful combat capabilities under life-threatening situations.

The two fox demons were just testing him, not intending to kill Wei Yunfeng on the spot.

Since demons had long lifespans, this old man didn’t seem likely to live another hundred years; they could wear him down slowly.

The two fox demons exchanged glances, then looked toward Wei Yunfeng and sneered, "Lord Wei bids farewell, we’ll meet again in a few days."

Having said that, they were about to sprint away toward the demon lands.

Anger flashed across Wei Yunfeng’s aged face, but he was helpless to do anything but watch the two fox demons leave.

He was too old, no longer as strong as in his youth.

These Demon Lords came daily to provoke him, but never really acted, which was distressing and exhausting for him.

If this continued, he did not know how much longer he could hold on.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

As he was thinking this, two streaks of light suddenly burst out from his left and right, sprinting at an extremely fast pace to catch up with the two fox demons.

Hiss!!

The streaks of light burrowed into the flesh and then shot out from another part, immediately causing a large splash of blood to fly.

Roar!!!

The two fox demons cried out in agony.

Immediately afterward, a towering fury surged within them.

This old man truly seeking death today?!

So the two fox demons abruptly turned around.

Their full fury intended to calm down only with the old man’s bloodied corpse!

But the moment the two fox demons turned around, a punch that seemed to have the power to collapse the heavens and the earth occupied their entire field of vision!

Bang!

Bang!

Two fox heads suddenly burst open, splattering flesh and blood everywhere.

Subsequently, the massive demon bodies fell powerless to the ground, causing a tremor.

Qin Zheng withdrew his hand indifferently, and with a thought, two streaks of light dived into the corpses of the fox demons, retrieving two demon cores into his palm.

Wei Yunfeng stared blankly at this scene.

"Any more?"

Qin Zheng turned his head, looking at the old man, and slowly spoke.
