In the imperial court of Jin Nation.
The civil and military officials stood on both sides.
Sitting on the dragon throne, an old man stared at the messenger in front of him.
The entire imperial court was extremely silent.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, the Fiendcelestial Cult has launched a surprise attack on the 33 states of Jin Nation this time. The city lords have cooperated with the Jin Nation cavalry to defend the 33 states."
"However, there have been more than a million casualties in Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jiangzhou. In the remaining 29 states, there have been a total of 4.5 million casualties."
"45,000 of the Jin Nation cavalry died in battle, and in the 33 states, 12 city lords and 71 deputy city lords died in the hands of the Fiendcelestial Cult. 21 city lords and 144 deputy city lords betrayed the Fiendcelestial Cult, and 94 deputy city lords are missing."
"120,000 garrison troops died in battle, but none of the states fell."
"Among them, Qingzhou is the most outstanding. There were less than 30,000 casualties, and there were less than 500 garrison troops in Jin Nation. Besides, they won and killed 99% of the Fiendcelestial Cult rebels."
In the imperial court, the messenger knelt on the ground and reported the casualties of the Fiendcelestial Cult's surprise attack on the 33 states of Jin Nation.
As soon as he finished speaking …
The imperial court seemed to be extremely silent.
It was not good news.
There were more than ten million casualties in the 33 states, which was really not a good thing for Jin Nation.
In particular, not only did more than ten city lords die in battle, but more importantly, 21 city lords betrayed the Fiendcelestial Cult. How could they not be disappointed and infuriated?
As for their whereabouts, they were either dead or had betrayed the Fiendcelestial Cult. There were almost no other possibilities.
Qingzhou was not bad, but what was the use of having a good state?
Overall, there were still heavy casualties.
'Damned Fiendcelestial Cult. '
Bang!
In an instant, the king of Jin Nation, who was sitting on the dragon throne, slammed his hand on the chair. At this moment, the civil and military officials couldn't help but be shocked.
"Pass my decree, gather the power of the nation to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of the Fiendcelestial Cult. Kill all those you encounter and implicate the ten clans."
"Officials of the six ministries, do your best to settle down the people of Jin Nation and reduce taxes so that the people can feel at ease."
"At the same time, the Fiendcelestial Cult must have done their best to attack Jin Nation. There are definitely spies of the Fiendcelestial Cult in the imperial court. Investigate thoroughly, and if they are found, they will be punished according to the laws of Jin Nation."
"The City Lord of Qingzhou will be promoted by three ranks, and the other officials will be promoted by one rank."
"In order to prevent the Fiendcelestial Cult from attacking again, the Jin Nation Academy has been opened in advance to recruit all the geniuses of Jin Nation. Firstly, it is to protect them, and secondly, it is to prepare for the Ten Nations Academy competition."
The king of Jin Nation said.
Although he was old, his voice was still as loud as a bell.
"We understand."
The civil and military officials all spoke. At this critical juncture, no one dared to suggest anything, and no one dared to question anything.
This time, the Jin Nation had indeed encountered trouble, but fortunately, it was not the worst. The Jin Nation had already known about this matter half a month ago.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have mobilized their armies and stationed them in the various ancient cities. Their original plans were even worse than this.
They were even prepared for the fall of a state, but fortunately, that did not happen. Although it was still a heavy blow to Jin Nation, at least it did not hurt their foundation.
That was it.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
The news of the Fiendcelestial Cult's sudden attack on the 33 states of Jin Nation also instantly spread in the Ten Nations.
This was no small matter. Naturally, the entire country would pay attention to it.
However, the most eye-catching thing was still the matter of Qingzhou.
Except for Qingzhou, most of the 33 states had suffered a blow, but Qingzhou not only suffered the fewest casualties, but also completely annihilated the Fiendcelestial Cult. How could that not arouse the curiosity of the entire Jin Nation?
Even the senior officials of the Ten Nations were curious about how Qingzhou was safe and sound.
But very quickly, many secrets appeared.
"Let me tell you guys, do you know why Qingzhou is fine? I have a brother who was in Qingzhou that day, and he witnessed the whole thing with his own eyes. There's a genius in Qingzhou called Ye Ping. At a young age, he has already condensed the Golden Wheel of Expiation and killed the disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult. "
"Yes, yes, yes, my brother told me that too. He said that Ye Ping is like a god who descended to the mortal world and killed 3,000 disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult with a single sword strike. I heard that his Senior Brother is a peerless Sword Immortal."
"What peerless Sword Immortal? Where did you hear that from? Let me tell you guys, I have a brother who was there too. He said that Ye Ping is the reincarnation of a true god of the Dao Sects. At the critical juncture, he shouted for a god to come and immediately grew three heads and six arms. He then conjured the shadow of a true god and killed the disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult. "
"Bullsh * t, I was there and I have the most say. This Ye Ping is not the reincarnation of a true god, but the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. He condensed the Bodhisattva Dharma Idol and expiated all the disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult."
"Yes, yes, yes, I was there too. Not only did the disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult come to Qingzhou, but even the sect master of the Fiendcelestial Cult came in person. He initially wanted to kill everyone in Qingzhou, but as Ye Ping's Dharma Idol appeared, the Fiendcelestial Cult master was expiated on the spot. He cried on the ground and said that he wanted to be a good person in his next life."
"Yes, my brother also said that there was a voice at that time that said that he was irreconcilable with evil. Turns out it was the sect master of the Fiendcelestial Cult. Anyway, this Ye Ping is amazing!"
"Damn it, is this for real? Why is it getting more and more ridiculous? There's no reincarnation of a Bodhisattva or a true god? Brother, let's earn money together, count me in. "
"I just asked Senior Yang Yang, what she said is true."
"Is what Senior Yang Yang said true? Then it's probably true. "
"I don't believe it, you guys are too good at bragging."
"Why aren't you earning money together with your brothers?"
On this day, there was an unhealthy trend in Jin Nation. Everyone was praising Ye Ping, saying that he was the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva or a true god of Taoism. In fact, there were even more vicious ones who said that Ye Ping was an immortal who had long ascended from the Dao Sect. This time, when Jin Nation was in trouble, he took the initiative to descend to the mortal world to save the people.
In short, the versions were getting more and more exaggerated and confusing.
It caused countless cultivators in Jin Nation to be confused.
In fact, the unhealthy trend even spread to the Ten Nations.
However, it caused some disdain.
Bodhisattva and true god were too fake.
However, while everyone was still wavering, a piece of news appeared and the truth was revealed in an instant.
The City Lord of Qingzhou City was promoted by three levels in a row and held a celebratory banquet. When he was drunk, he accidentally said that Ye Ping was his distant nephew and that the reason Qingzhou was fine this time was entirely because Sikong Jiantian had brought a Dao expert.
However, Sikong Jiantian did not like fame and fortune, so he did not publicize it. On the other hand, Chen Zheng, the City Lord of Qingzhou City, resorted to trickery in order to let his nephew, Ye Ping, enter the imperial court. He even specially asked someone to praise Ye Ping.
As soon as the news came out, the cultivators of the entire Jin Nation understood.
In an instant, countless cultivators began to criticize Chen Zheng.
As for Ye Ping, they did not criticize him. After all, the matter was planned by Chen Zheng alone. Besides, they knew that Ye Ping was not as impressive as the rumors made him out to be. Hence, the jealousy in their hearts lessened.
In the end, Chen Zheng was demoted by one level by the imperial court and was fined three years of salary.
However, the king of Jin Nation also understood the cause and effect. Everything was just a cover-up. On the surface, he was demoted, but in fact, Chen Zheng would naturally gain a lot of benefits. It was just that he would be criticized.
However, to Chen Zheng, it was all worth it. As long as he could protect a genius, he did not care about being criticized in the Ten Nations.
Sometimes, that was the case. Many people thought that they had seen the truth, but little did they know that it was just what someone wanted them to see.
Immortal Martial Era, 25th of May.
A piece of news that made the geniuses of Jin Nation excited appeared.
The Jin Nation Academy was opened in advance.
At the same time …
In the distant Lizhou.
In an uninhabited mountain range.
A figure stumbled, breaking the tranquility of this place.
"Master, what kind of map did you give me? Where am I!?!"
"Ye Ping, don't let anything happen to you."
"Ahhh! What the hell is this place? Is there anyone here? "
"There are three million Sword Immortals in the sky but they have to bow down to me. I'm Su Changyu, is there anyone here? Come out and make friends. "
Intermittent sounds could be heard in the forest.
It was Su Changyu.
Ever since he escaped from the Qingzhou Ancient City, he had been completely lost.
He had no idea where he was either.
The worst part was that he had been walking for more than ten days, but he had yet to encounter a single person.
That made Su Changyu feel terrible and afraid.
If he had known earlier, he would have stayed in the Qingzhou Ancient City. At least he could see someone.
However, at this moment …
In the Qingyun Mountain Range.
A figure appeared in the mountains.
It was Ye Ping.
However, at this moment, a voice broke the silence in the mountains.
"Is it Ye Ping?"
It was the voice of Wang Zhuoyu, the third Senior Brother.
