The distance from the Northwest Wuyang Region to the Western Capital was exactly 4.3 million miles. With Zhou Bao's current speed, it would only take him an hour to cover the distance on foot, and he seemed to be taking it leisurely.
Compared to the last time he came to the Western Capital, the center of the Great Jin was different.
After experiencing two major incidents, the current Western Capital was no longer the same as it was when Northern Yuan had just been conquered. Faintly, an indescribable murderous aura emanated from it.
"What a strong murderous aura!" Just as he approached the Western Capital, Zhou Bao acutely felt the deep murderous aura.
Although the Western Capital had not been destroyed after two incidents in a short period of time, Mingyi Lane not far away had already been turned into ruins. However, when Zhou Bao approached Mingyi Lane, he discovered that it had already become a huge construction site. A huge hall was rising from the ground, and compared to the original Mingyi School, it was a hundred times more majestic. The main frame of the huge hall had already been constructed. Looking at the huge plaque with the words "School of Five Virtues" written on it, a cold smile flashed across Zhou Bao's face.
School of Five Virtues!
After the Mingyi School had experienced a devastating blow, the School of Five Virtues behind it had finally surfaced. Compared to the Mingyi School, the School of Five Virtues was undoubtedly more powerful. Most importantly, it represented that the Divine Wind Palace had finally begun to forcefully intervene in the matters of the Central Mainland Region.
In the past, although the Mingyi School represented the righteousness and orthodoxy of the Great Jin dynasty, it was after all just a small school under the School of Five Virtues. Its connection with the Divine Wind Palace was cut off by a layer. For such a small school, the Divine Wind Palace would not be too concerned. However, the School of Five Virtues was different. It was a direct influence of the Divine Wind Palace, a subordinate of the Divine Wind Palace. The four biggest sects had the guts to kill the Mingyi School, and even destroy its orthodoxy. However, once the plaque was changed to the School of Five Virtues, they could not do so. Even if they wanted to deal with the School of Five Virtues, they would have to think of some gentle methods and use roundabout tactics. Through the School of Five Virtues, the Divine Wind Palace could openly intervene in the matters of the Central Mainland Region.
"That's why I said that these boorish people only know how to fight and kill all day long. What's the use of that? It looks like they have the upper hand, but in the end, they are still cheated by the Divine Wind Palace. Once the plaque of the School of Five Virtues is erected, the flag of the Divine Wind Palace will be planted!" Zhou Bao smiled helplessly in his heart, and was about to leave.
"Who are you? How dare you spy here? Hurry up and take him down!" Just as Zhou Bao turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly heard a shout in his ear. The sound of horse hooves rang out, and a group of cavalry rushed in front of him, surrounding him.
"Who are you? How did you get in? Don't you know that Mingyi Lane has been sealed?! " “
A cold light flashed, and the bright tip of the spear was suddenly pressed against the tip of Zhou Bao's throat.
Zhou Bao frowned slightly, looking at the heavily armored cavalry in front of him. The huge helmet covered half of his head, and his eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty, fierce light. He then looked at the dozen or so cavalrymen around him, and all of them were full of killing intent. What surprised Zhou Bao the most was that the style of their armor was not that of the Jin. The Jin had never seen such armor, and their strength was also unfathomable. It was not that Zhou Bao could not see through their strength, but that they were too strong. The cavalry general who had pressed the spear against his throat was actually a Level Eight expert!
A Level Eight expert!
He actually came here to be a soldier, and a cavalry at that. Among the other dozen or so cavalrymen, half of them were Level Seven experts, and the weakest of the other half was at the peak of Level Six!
The strength of the Jin was indeed good, and it was unrivaled in the Central Mainland Region. But it was impossible for it to cultivate such knights. If these people were placed in any big family, they would be Elders and Offerings, and they did not need to suffer like this.
But now, in Zhou Bao's eyes, he could clearly feel that these people were not temporarily disguised knights, but the kind of men who often fought on the battlefield, and they had a kind of killing intent that made people's hearts palpitate.
"Interesting!" Zhou Bao murmured, and he did not deliberately conceal his voice and the sneer on his face. "Who are you? You don't look like soldiers of the Jin!"
"Hmm?" The leading knight suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhou Bao. Finally, he found that things were not as simple as he had imagined. At first, when he saw Zhou Bao's appearance, he thought that he was a scholar who had mistakenly entered the forbidden area, so he was ready to kill Zhou Bao. But now, this scholar in cyan, who looked like a scholar, did not change his expression under his killing intent, and even appeared very curious. Facing the spear tip that was already at his throat, he obviously had a great reliance, but what was it? Could it be that he was a relative of the Jin's emperor?
Thinking of this, he also sneered. It was not that he had not seen the relatives of the Jin's emperor, and he had even killed several of them. Could it be that this idiot had not heard of them?
Thinking of this, he ignored Zhou Bao and suddenly withdrew his spear. "Fu Sheng, take him down and send him to the emperor of the Jin State, and let him punish him!"
"Yes!" A knight answered loudly, and reached out to grab Zhou Bao's collar.
"It seems that you are indeed not people of the Jin!" Zhou Bao also smiled, a very happy smile. He suddenly raised his hand and welcomed the knight named Fu Sheng.
"Puff!"
In a flash, their hands collided. Zhou Bao's hand seemed to have directly inserted into the body of a mud man, and the knight's body was smashed into pieces.
In the blink of an eye, flesh and blood flew everywhere. When the group of knights came to their senses, there was not even a complete piece of flesh left on the knight named Fu Sheng.
"Damn it, damn it, why has my character become so evil after refining the Real Body of Zhuyan? It's too cruel to kill people, too much!"
Zhou Bao raised his eyebrows. Ever since he had practiced the Mysterious Divine Light, his character had become tyrannical. Back then, when he first came here, he was still an amiable gentleman. All his edges and corners had been polished, and he was a very smooth civil servant. But now?
In 20 years, it seemed that he had transformed into a guy who committed all kinds of crimes, including murder and arson. He could even come up with countless ways to kill people. If he had a disagreement, he would kill people. This change was really too big.
While he was sighing, the group of knights roared one by one. No one thought that this seemingly thin and weak scholar in cyan would have such strength, and that he could be so cruel and tyrannical. Almost at the same time, they roared and sent the weapons in their hands straight toward Zhou Bao.
"No!"
Everything happened so fast that the leader of the knights had no time to stop them. Several spears reached Zhou Bao's face, chest, crotch, and other vital parts.
"Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff!"
A series of sounds, like watermelons being smashed by a force, rang out. Among the 18 knights, except for the leader, all of them were smashed by a cyan light. Only their heads fell to the ground. The light in the 32 pairs of eyes changed from horror, to fear, to unwillingness, and finally to emptiness, as if they had gone through reincarnation after reincarnation.
"No —!" The leader of the knights roared. These loyal subordinates were his direct subordinates, his confidants, who had followed him through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. These people were his friends. Although they were his masters, they were actually his brothers. However, they were all killed by Zhou Bao in such a short time, and he did not even know why they were killed. How could he not be angry? However, no matter how angry or how hateful he was, he knew that he was no match for Zhou Bao based on the strength that Zhou Bao had shown just now. If he rushed forward now, he would just be throwing away his life.
"Who the hell are you?" The knight seemed to have exhausted all his strength to ask this question.
Looking at his trembling hand holding the spear, his clenched teeth, and his bloodshot eyes, Zhou Bao felt a sense of pleasure in his heart for no reason. This feeling of playing with people's lives and destinies in the palm of his hand almost made him intoxicated.
"I've fallen, I've fallen!" Zhou Bao cursed in his heart that he had become a psychopath. The smile on his face became wider, like a humble scholar facing his teacher.
"Who are you?" He asked quietly, his warm gaze falling on the knight's face.
"Left General Che Renmei, Celestial Cavalry Army of the Li Dynasty!"
"Li Dynasty?!" Zhou Bao was slightly stunned. He pondered for a while and almost guessed what was going on. However, he purposely showed a puzzled expression. "The Li Dynasty is millions of miles away from the Jin Dynasty, and there is an endless sea between us. What are you doing in the Jin Dynasty?!"
Usually, if Zhou Bao questioned Che Renmei like he was interrogating a criminal, Che Renmei would definitely give him a slap. However, he did not dare to do so now, because he gradually felt a sense of pressure. This pressure was not very strong, but it made him completely breathless. He felt as if he was not facing a smiling scholar, but a ferocious beast. His life, his thoughts, his mission, and his secrets were all under the threat of the other party's monstrous power.
"Under the orders of our dynasty's Senior Grand Tutor Hong, I have come to supervise the construction of the School of Five Virtues. This was also approved by the Jin Emperor!"
At the mention of Senior Grand Tutor Hong, he seemed to have found his backbone. His originally stooped back straightened a little, and the momentum that was suppressed by Zhou Bao also recovered a little.
"Senior Grand Tutor Hong?!" Zhou Bao shook his head. "Words are no proof. How about this, if you say that this was approved by the Jin Emperor, then I will bring you to see the Jin Emperor and see if he agrees!" As he spoke, he did not care about Che Renmei's intentions. He reached out and grabbed his collar. With a lift, he lifted his body up and disappeared in a flash.
