"Four years ago, you were just a bandit leader and your cultivation was only at Basic Martial Realm. Four years later, you have become a diviner."
"I have to say, you really make us very curious."
Xi Yang's expression was calm as he said lightly.
Qin Shujian smiled faintly. "My methods are not worth Your Majesty's concern."
"If becoming a diviner in four years is not worth worrying about, then there are not many things worth worrying about in the world." Xi Yang suddenly smiled, then walked into the pavilion and sat down.
Qin Shujian also followed him in.
"No need to be reserved, sit!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Shujian did not stand on ceremony. After cupping his hands, he sat down across from Xi Yang.
Facing the present Great Zhao Saint Emperor.
It was impossible for him to say that he did not feel any pressure at all.
Even if the imperial court was in danger, as long as the imperial court was not destroyed, Xi Yang's status was still noble.
And if he disregarded his status.
The other party was also an expert with unfathomable strength.
In addition, even though Xi Yang had only been on the throne for a short period of time, he had been a prince for thousands of years. He still had the dignity he should have.
However.
Qin Shujian might be reserved, but he did not show it on the surface.
"Speaking of which, Sect Master Qin has had many interactions with my Great Zhao. Sect Master Qin has also contributed greatly to the suppression of the demon disaster. We have to thank you on behalf of the people of the world!"
"Your Majesty is too serious. The matter of the demon disaster concerns the world. This Qin is also a part of the world. How can I sit by and watch the demon disaster wreak havoc?"
"That's right. If everyone in the world thinks like Sect Master Qin, our human race would not need to worry about prosperity!"
Xi Yang nodded in satisfaction, then let out a sigh.
To this.
Qin Shujian maintained his silence.
He also knew a little about the other party's meaning.
But as an outsider, it was not good for him to say too much about this matter. He could only pretend that he did not hear.
On the other side.
Xi Yang only sighed with emotion for a moment, then recovered and said with a light smile, "In Sect Master Qin's opinion, what do you think of the current situation of the Great Zhao?"
"The fate of the Great Zhao is stable and there is naturally no need to worry."
Qin Shujian replied calmly.
"The fate of the nation is stable!" Xi Yang muttered, then shook his head, "If it was really stable, how could it have ended up in such a situation?"
"It's normal for there to be some twists and turns in the cycle of the Heavenly Dao."
"Just some twists and turns?"
Xi Yang said. It sounded like he was talking to himself, but it also sounded like a question.
Qin Shujian immediately shut his mouth.
Seeing this, Xi Yang didn't pursue the matter. Instead, he changed the topic, "Speaking of which, after the collapse of the Great Zhao Empire, the invited cultivators all left or retreated.
People like Sect Master Qin, who came without hesitation, are few and far between. "
"…"
"I heard that Sect Master Qin has a good relationship with Marquis Bei Yun. What do you think of him?"
"Marquis Beiyun has helped me a lot. That's not bad."
Qin Shujian answered indifferently.
Now, he was basically sure that Xi Yang didn't look for him just to meet him.
Therefore, he always gave ambiguous answers to the other party's questions.
It didn't represent his own opinion, but it was the same as mud.
After a long time.
Xi Yang seemed to be bored with his questions. Then, he got up and asked someone to send Qin Shujian away.
In the gazebo.
Xi Yang sat there alone. The difference was that the smile on his face had disappeared and was replaced by indifference.
"Qin Shujian, who exactly is the reincarnation of a mighty figure!"
"Half a year ago, he was only a Divine Martial Artist, but now, he's already a Heavenly Being. His foundation is not simple!"
"However, this person doesn't reveal any clues when he speaks. He's also a tactful person. It's not easy to get something out of him."
The conversation just now could be said to have no substance at all.
Qin Shujian avoided many probing questions. Xi Yang couldn't do anything about it.
After all, he couldn't put a knife to Qin Shujian's neck and force him to talk.
On the other side.
After coming out of the palace, Qin Shujian also felt that the faintly discernible pressure on his body had disappeared, and the faint smile on his face finally disappeared.
He could tell.
Xi Yang had some malice toward him.
However, this malice was too faint. As for where it came from, he had a rough guess.
"It seems that breaking through to the Heavenly Being Realm in such a short time has aroused suspicion. Perhaps Xi Yang wants to know what my foundation is, or perhaps he has other motives."
"However, I still can't let my guard down when it comes to Xi Yang."
Qin Shujian thought to himself. Without realizing it, he had already left the Imperial City.
He had made up his mind.
If it wasn't necessary, he would temporarily avoid contact with Xi Yang.
If Xi Yang decided to attack him, he wouldn't be able to get out of the palace with his own strength.
In a large tent.
The Marquises of the Seven Prefectures had gathered.
Du Chengwu's face was a little pale. Like a weak scholar, he sat to the side without moving.
"Marquis Luoyue, how's your recovery?" Zhang Yi looked at Du Chengwu and asked with concern.
"I won't die."
Du Chengwu didn't even look at him as he replied indifferently.
Zhang Yi said, "That Qin Shujian is really so powerful that even you can't kill him. Instead, you've delayed until Dan Hao and the others arrive."
"Don't you already know the truth? Why bother asking?"
Du Chengwu's face darkened.
Zhang Yi mentioning this matter at this time was no different from rubbing salt on his wound.
Therefore, his tone was a little unfriendly.
Seeing this.
Shen Hong immediately interrupted the conversation between the two. He coughed and said, "Cough, now more than half of the cities in the Central State have fallen into our hands. Now, there is no longer any obstacle between us and the Imperial City.
What do you think now? "
"What else can we think? Let's take down the Imperial City and divide the world equally. Let's go home." Zhang Yi glanced at him and said with a smile.
Indeed.
Now, there was no longer any city between them and the Imperial City.
The best thing to do now was to lead the army straight up.
As for whether they would really go home or kill each other after taking down the Imperial City, that was a matter for the future.
This kind of thing.
Before the Imperial City was taken down, no one would mention it.
Because once it was mentioned, an irreparable crack would appear in the alliance.
After speaking.
Zhang Yi also looked at the others. "I suggest that we choose a day to attack the Imperial City and not give the Great Zhao Empire a chance to breathe. What do you think?"
"Okay," Qin Yangbo replied faintly.
"At this time, there is no need to delay. Let's take down the Imperial City as soon as possible. There is no need for everyone to worry about it!"
Gu Changqing smiled meaningfully. He did not object to Zhang Yi's words.
As for the others.
Most of them were like this.
Only Du Chengwu was silent on the side.
Zhang Yi looked at him and smiled faintly. "Marquis Luo Yue, what do you think?"
"If you want to fight, then let's fight. I don't care."
"Very well, then this matter is decided!"
All the marquises agreed. The matter was quickly settled.
"Marquis, we are really going to send troops to fight the Great Zhao Empire. Your current body …" In Guangding City, a scholar said hesitantly with a serious expression.
"Hmph, Zhang Yi clearly wants to use this opportunity to kick me out. How can I give him a chance!"
Du Chengwu's expression was gloomy.
Naturally, he did not want to start a war with the Great Zhao Empire so soon.
He had just been severely injured by Dan Hao and had not recovered. If he started a war, the risk would be much higher.
However …
Now, the other marquises clearly wanted to use this opportunity to declare war on the Imperial City. As for why they were in such a hurry, it was up to the wise and benevolent to see if there was any other meaning.
However, Du Chengwu was certain of one thing.
If he rejected, the other marquises would definitely use this opportunity to kick him out.
After all, the Imperial City was already in sight. With the strength of the alliance army, one marquise or one marquise would not affect the overall situation at all.
Moreover.
If they kicked one marquise out at this time, they would have one less competitor when the Imperial City was divided.
Du Chengwu could not let these people have their way with such a thing.
The next day.
The army rose and headed towards the Imperial City.
At the same time.
The battle report was also sent to the imperial court.
"Dear ministers, the enemy has arrived. What should we do?" Xi Yang took a deep breath. Even though he had expected this, when he saw the battle report, his heart still felt heavy.
Dan Hao's eyes were cold. He said, "The rebels are here. Let's fight them. I am willing to be the vanguard!"
As soon as these words came out.
Among the military officials, there were suddenly many voices asking to fight.
Although the current situation of the imperial court was collapsing quickly, there were also plans to shrink their forces.
So many cities had been lost.
But the army did not lose much.
These soldiers were all gathered in the Imperial City at this moment, waiting for this moment to come.
As long as the rebels who were besieging them were defeated in one fell swoop, then this crisis would be alleviated.
As for losing the battle.
The result was needless to say.
"Then let's fight!" Xi Yang waved his hand and directly ordered.
Soon.
The entire Imperial City began to move.
Qin Shujian, who had been resting in the Bright Vision General's residence, also received the news at this time.
"The war has begun!"
After receiving this news, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
It was a little unexpected that the war would start so soon.
But thinking about it carefully, now that half of the Central State Prefecture had fallen, the Imperial City was located in the center of the Central State Prefecture, and there was no obstruction in front of them.
Under such circumstances.
It was natural for the rebels to attack the Imperial City.
For them, the sooner they took the Imperial City, the better. The longer they delayed, the more variables there would be.
Outside the Imperial City.
The army gathered.
"The Imperial City!" Looking at the vast city in front of them, all the vassals were excited.
"Every time I see the Imperial City, it makes my heart so excited. Only the strongest people deserve to have such an ancient Imperial City!"
Zhang Yi looked at the Imperial City and said with emotion.
His eyes were full of a fiery look.
Not only him.
Even the other vassals were looking at the Imperial City with a fiery look.
Ancient Imperial City!
No one didn't want to have it.
Sitting in the Imperial City, one had the qualification to rule the world.
In the past, in order to build the Imperial City, the Human Emperor spent a lot of manpower and material resources to finally create the vast city today.
However.
In front of the Imperial City, the army stood tall.
Dan Hao stood on the city wall, his eyes were indifferent.
There were no words.
The scene was terrifyingly silent, only the air was filled with killing intent.
When Qin Shujian walked up the city wall, he happened to see the endless number of troops on both sides lined up in a row.
"Kill!"
With an order, the army charged.
Dan Hao took a step into the air with an unparalleled momentum. "Du Chengwu, do you dare to come and die!"
In the rebel camp, Du Chengwu's face was as dark as ink, and he pretended not to hear it.
He was not afraid of Dan Hao when he was at his peak, but now that his injuries had not healed, he was just looking for trouble.
"I'll fight you!"
Shen Hong took a step into the air, and the halberd in his hand tore through everything as he charged toward Dan Hao.
Now that the army was fighting, what they needed was an unparalleled momentum.
If no one answered the challenge, once the morale was low, things would be troublesome.
Seeing Shen Hong's attack, Dan Hao's eyes were cold as he said, "Du Chengwu doesn't dare to come and die, then I'll kill you to avenge Luo Jing!"
"You, Dan Hao, are still too inexperienced to kill me."
Shen Hong was cold, and his momentum was not weak at all.
In an instant.
The two of them began to fight.
Boom!!
The halberd tore through the sky, and the long spear burst out.
Whether it was Dan Hao or Shen Hong, they were both experts in the sixth level of the Celestial Being realm. Their strength had reached the peak, and the movement of their fight was extremely vast.
As the two of them attacked.
In the Imperial City, the experts immediately moved again.
"Du Chengwu, do you dare to fight me?"
Dong Fengmao took to the air and shouted sternly.
In the camp of the rebels, Du Chengwu's face darkened a little more.
But at the same time.
Now that he was injured, he could not defeat Dan Hao, nor could he defeat Dong Fengmao.
Each of the five generals was in the sixth level of the Celestial Being realm, an expert at the peak of the Saint Realm.
In his current state, he could not defeat any of them.
Not long after.
Someone flew up to meet him.
The person who attacked was Qin Yangbo.
"Du Chengwu, do you dare to fight me?"
"Du Chengwu, come and die!"
Soon, experts from the imperial court appeared one after another. Unsurprisingly, they were all challenging Marquis Luoyue, Du Chengwu.
By now, Du Chengwu's teeth were about to be crushed.
A tiger would be bullied by a dog.
Now, any Tom, Dick, and Harry dared to challenge him.
However, none of the people who challenged him were below the Saint Realm. In his current state, he could not resist at all.
For a moment, Du Chengwu felt that the people around him were looking at him strangely.
"Dan Hao, we are not done with this matter!"
Du Chengwu was burning with anger. If Dan Hao had not seriously injured him, he would not have fallen to such a state.
On the city wall.
Qin Shujian had no intention of watching the battle.
He was invited to help, not to watch the show.
Glancing at his attribute panel, there were still more than 30,000 luck points. As for the life source, it had not even reached 100 million.
Immediately afterward.
With a thought, 10,000 luck points disappeared in an instant and were replaced by 1 billion points of life source.
Then.
1 billion points of life source were consumed, and the Ancestral Scripture of Casting officially advanced.
Buzz —
Invisible waves spread from his body. Qin Shujian stood still on the city wall, seemingly thinking about something.
An hour later.
He took a step into the air, stood above the sky with his hands behind his back, and shouted coldly, "Du Chengwu, do you dare to fight me?"
"Qin Shujian, how dare you humiliate me!"
Du Chengwu completely exploded.
Dan Hao humiliated him, so did Dong Fengmao. Even if others challenged him, he could pretend not to hear it.
But now —
Qin Shujian had just entered the celestial realm, and he dared to provoke him like this.
If he did not accept the challenge this time, then his reputation as Marquis Luo Yue would be gone.
"Damn, Qin Shujian, that's the Master of Mount Liang!"
"The Master of Mount Liang is so arrogant that he dares to directly challenge Marquis Luo Yue, Du Chengwu?"
"Damn, rumor has it that he broke through to the celestial realm. Could it be true?"
There were also many players in the army who were fishing in troubled waters.
After all, for such a large-scale mission, coupled with the suppression of the devil disaster, whether it was the imperial court or the rebels, they had hired many players as thugs.
Regarding this.
The players naturally had no reason to refuse.
Not to mention whether the mission reward was generous or not, just being able to participate in such a grand war was an exciting thing.
Places where there were players.
Naturally, there would be people who knew Qin Shujian.
The name of the Master of Mount Liang could be considered to have lasted for a long time.
After all, among all the NPCs they had encountered, only this big boss was the strongest.
And the speed of his growth was something that even the players could not compare to.
If the players were considered to have cheats.
Then in their eyes, Qin Shujian was probably the one who had cheated.
At this time, seeing Qin Shujian invite Du Chengwu to battle, the vast aura made people tremble, and it also shocked many players.
Of course.
In addition to being shocked, more people were complaining.
"This is what I call a cheat!"
"Celestial, wasn't he just a Divine Martial Artist a few months ago? How did he suddenly become a Celestial?"
If it were not for the fact that there were no GMs in this game, they would have collectively reported him.
Leveling up so fast.
The others would not be able to play anymore.
As for Cao Hong, at this time, his body instinctively shrank back at this time to avoid being seen by Qin Shujian.
A Celestial!
Thinking of this, he could not help but smile.
"Haha, so he's a Celestial!"
But as he smiled, he felt a little sad.
This was a Celestial!
This was a Celestial!
In the void.
Qin Shujian ignored everyone and only looked at the camp of the Luo Yue Army.
Immediately afterward.
A shocking aura erupted. Du Chengwu stepped into the air and directly went up.
Below.
Ming Jingshan was originally facing the enemy. When he saw Qin Shujian invite Du Chengwu to battle, he instinctively frowned.
"Qin Shujian!"
Although he was shocked that the other party was a Celestial before him, he was only at the first level of the Celestial.
Even if Du Chengwu was injured, he was still at the peak of the Saint Realm.
Compared to the two, the difference in strength was not just a little bit.
At this time, Qin Shujian invited the other party to battle. In Ming Jingshan's view, it was extremely unwise.
However —
Now that Qin Shujian had already made the announcement, it was too late for him to stop it.
Not to mention.
Ming Jingshan looked at the opponent in front of him. The two large arrays had already collided, and his heart was extremely solemn.
Array Master!
The imperial court had an Array Master, and so did the rebels.
Moreover.
The person in front of him was an old opponent.
Thinking of being injured by the other party, Ming Jingshan's face became gloomy, and the killing intent in his heart soared.
"Qin Shujian, this time you will die!"
The anger in Du Chengwu's eyes disappeared and was replaced by indifference.
His killing intent had risen to the extreme. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was to kill Qin Shujian.
In this way.
Du Chengwu calmed down.
He had no fear of Qin Shujian.
Even if he was injured, his strength was not much weaker than a Saint Realm expert. The other party was at the first level of the Celestial Being. What did he have to fight with him?
"This sentence is also left for you."
Qin Shujian sneered. The killing intent in his heart was not weaker than Du Chengwu's.
Every dog had its day.
He did not expect to meet Du Chengwu so soon.
He thought that when they met in the future, the other party might have recovered from his injuries and be the expert at the peak of the Saint Realm.
But now.
He was still half-dead.
For this.
Qin Shujian resolutely chose to invite the battle, without any shame of taking advantage of the other party's difficulties.
Taking advantage of the other party's difficulties!
There was no such thing.
He was only at the first level of the Celestial Being realm. Even if he was seriously injured at the sixth level of the Celestial Being realm, he was still the weak against the strong. The others had nothing to say.
Boom!
Du Chengwu put on his gloves and launched an attack in the next moment.
This time.
He had the intention of killing Qin Shujian quickly with a thunderous momentum and then straightening his momentum. So, he used all his trump cards as soon as he made a move.
Even if he was seriously injured, with the help of the six-seal Taoist instrument.
The power that Du Chengwu displayed was enough to make people's faces change.
Qin Shujian took a step back.
His divine thoughts surged wildly. Endless formation patterns seemed to be born from the void as his divine thoughts fell.
Then.
A vast formation descended from the sky, completely enveloping the two of them.
Everything happened too fast.
The sudden appearance of the formation and the disappearance of the two of them caught the other people who were paying attention to the situation off guard.
In the imperial palace, in the Imperial Astronomer.
A gray-clothed old woman withdrew from her cultivation. Her turbid eyes were a little brighter. "This is — the second level of the Master Realm!"
The second level of the Master Realm!
Discovering this, a look of curiosity appeared on her wrinkled face.
Without any movement, she quietly disappeared from the Imperial Astronomer.
The next moment.
She had already appeared in the city wall.
The people around her were puzzled by the sudden appearance of the old woman. But when they saw the pattern embroidered on her clothes, they immediately bowed.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
"No need to be so polite!" The old woman waved her hand, but her eyes were still looking at the void.
On the other side.
Heaven and earth changed.
Heaven and earth reversed.
By the time Du Chengwu reacted, he had already appeared in another world.
The earth cracked, magma rose from below, meteors fell from the sky, and there were countless black cracks in the sky, showing a doomsday scene.
"Illusory formation!"
"No, it's not an illusory formation. It's a killing formation!"
Du Chengwu's face changed slightly. In his perception, he couldn't detect the existence of Qin Shujian.
The formation in front of him.
Compared with the formation he encountered last time, it was a completely different concept.
Meanwhile, in another part of the void.
Several Taoist artifacts appeared in the sky as if they were suppressing everything.
Qin Shujian looked dignified. His Divine Thought was activated to the extreme to maintain the operation of the formation.
It was different from the first level of the Master Realm.
Strictly speaking, the formation set up by the second level of the Master Realm had no Formation Eye. If one wanted to break the formation, they could only break it with absolute strength.
Now Du Chengwu was injured.
After Qin Shujian devoured many evil red lotuses, his Spirit God had undergone a transformation when he broke through to the Celestial Being Realm. He had already reached an extremely strong level.
He admitted that he was no match for Du Chengwu in his heyday.
But Du Chengwu was seriously injured —
A cold light emerged in Qin Shujian's eyes, and the killing intent in his Divine Thought soared.
In an instant.
In the world on the verge of collapse, a terrifying attack suddenly emerged.
