"My god, what is that thing?" Jang Young-ho was shocked.
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to carefully observe the monster, trying his best to remain calm.
He knows that monster.
It's a monster from before the Age of Giants and Fiendkind, a type of monster from the Age of Chaos.
Only this monster would have such a hideous body.
It's much stronger than normal Giants and Fiendkind.
Fortunately, the monster was locked inside the coffin, its entire body was pierced through by sharp spikes and held in place.
It looks like it's enduring a painful punishment, unable to quickly escape.
— — -from the looks of it, it won't be able to crawl out for a while.
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and released his inner sight to check the surroundings.
He's currently an Ascended realm middle stage cultivator, his inner sight can almost cover the entire city.
Fortunately.
There's only one monster in the capital.
Unfortunately, this monster caused unprecedented panic in the human society that had just calmed down.
Originally, the entire Fuxi Empire was in a celebratory mood for the Empress' coronation.
In the capital, people gathered at the squares to celebrate.
At this time, a terrifying coffin carrying an unknown monster suddenly appeared in the sky.
The people gathered at the squares fell into panic and chaos.
They screamed and ran everywhere.
Even the audience in front of the TV had fallen into unprecedented despair.
At this time, at the coronation ceremony.
Among the guests, someone suddenly shouted: "Varona is a disaster, the Heavenly God has sent a demon to stop her from ascending!"
— — -there was no time to cut off the live broadcast signal, so this voice was transmitted to the entire planet.
Everyone who was paying attention to the live broadcast heard this voice.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly turned around, his gaze locked onto a certain Fuxi politician.
His inner sight has been covering the coronation ceremony, paying close attention to the slightest movement.
At the crucial moment when the monster appeared and everyone fell into panic, that Fuxi politician suddenly ordered someone next to him to speak.
A single 'disaster' caused the entire coronation ceremony to go out of control.
On the platform, Varona's expression was ashen, gritting her teeth, trying her best to restrain her anger.
This exposed her lack of leadership, almost destroying her political future.
Gu Qing Shan observed the man.
He was a military man, wearing the uniform of a General.
He is the Fuxi Empire's defense minister.
He was not afraid of the gazes around him at all. He calmly stood where he was and revealed a victorious smile.
Someone leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Her people are all under control. There are no accidents."
"That's good. Today, I will let the world know that she can't rule over Fuxi."
The Defense Minister continued, "Once the coronation is over, we will immediately begin to purge her people."
"Kill them all?"
"No, we still need some manpower to maintain the political situation. Those who surrender can live, but we need to control them."
"Yes."
Their conversation was as soft as a mosquito's, and they were surrounded by their men, protecting them.
Therefore, the Minister of Defense was not afraid of the news being leaked.
Even if the information was leaked, Varona wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Unbeknownst to him, all of this was exposed to Gu Qing Shan's divine sense.
Gu Qing Shan nodded silently, feeling a little annoyed.
The world was about to be destroyed, but these people were still causing trouble.
— — thinking that, Gu Qing Shan made up his mind.
He patted Jang Young-ho's shoulder and whispered: "I remember that in the Holy Church of Death, there are a total of two Guardian Deities, one is the Black Crow Deity, the other is the Hound Deity"
"That's right, this is a well-known fact, what about it?" Jang Young-ho asked.
Gu Qing Shan said: "I'll borrow Tong Tong for a bit, then you have to do this …"
He whispered to Jang Young-ho and Ye Fei Li about the arrangements.
…
Very quickly.
Gu Qing Shan disappeared from the Empress' coronation.
Jang Young-ho and Ye Fei Li put on their sunglasses, pushed through the crowd and slowly walked down the stage.
Their unusual actions immediately attracted the attention of the royal guards.
These royal guards already knew about Jang Young-ho, as well as Jang Young-ho's methods.
Jang Young-ho's protection left a deep impression on them.
Seeing him, the royal guards couldn't help but look at the Empress.
As soon as Varona saw them, Gu Qing Shan's words resounded in her ears.
She calmed down and nodded to the royal guards.
The royal guards stepped aside.
Jang Young-ho and Ye Fei Li slowly walked down the stage, one on the left and one on the right, protecting the Empress.
"Even if the world is about to be destroyed today, my coronation ceremony must continue"
Varona loudly declared to everyone.
The Bishop could only wipe the sweat off his forehead, forcing himself not to look at the monster in the sky and continued chanting his blessing.
Then, an extremely strange scene appeared.
In the sky, the giant coffin was still floating, the monster was roaring and struggling, trying to escape.
In the church, Varona stood on the stage, ignoring everything else to continue the coronation ceremony.
And this scene was being broadcasted to the entire world.
The panicking people who were on the verge of collapse were immediately attracted by this scene.
No one turned off their Holo-Brain.
Everyone wanted to see how Fuxi's situation would turn out.
The Empress' coronation ceremony had the highest viewership ever since the very beginning. And now, the viewership continued to soar.
Then something strange happened.
A pitch-black crow flew through the clouds and landed on the platform.
In front of billions of people, it screeched at Varona.
Varona solemnly bowed to the crow.
The crow flew up and lightly landed on Varona's shoulder.
It seemed to have decided on this position, and once it stood firm, it stopped moving.
"Black Crow!"
"Look, it's the Black Crow!"
"My god!"
"The messenger of the Death God is here!"
The Church of Death's followers shouted in excitement.
According to the Holy Church's teachings, the Black Crow and Hound Deity are the servants of the Death God, the Deities who spread death and slumber.
And now, a Black Crow appeared at the Empress' coronation ceremony.
Is this really a coincidence?
The Defense Minister smirked mockingly and muttered: "Trying to be a fraud again? Unfortunately, it's useless! "
He told someone next to him: "We'll move the plan forward, let those who support her choose to obey me, or die"
"Yes sir!"
The man answered, turned on his Holo-Brain and began to make arrangements.
…
When Jang Young-ho and Ye Fei Li were walking towards the stage.
Gu Qing Shan had left the coronation ceremony and was strolling around the cathedral by himself.
He was an Ascended realm middle stage cultivator.
Even in the cultivation world, Ascended realm represented strength, qualified to become a candidate for any sect's master.
A powerful inner sight was released from Gu Qing Shan's body.
In just a few breaths' worth of time, the inner sight covered the entire capital.
All the shady dealings couldn't be hidden from Gu Qing Shan's inner sight.
"Found it" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
In a few hidden locations, Varona's supporters were kidnapped and threatened.
Many military officers who supported the Defense Minister were guarding these people with weapons in their hands.
They silently waited for the Defense Minister's orders.
Gu Qing Shan looked up at the beautiful stained glass of the cathedral.
One of the glass windows was open.
"Go," he said softly.
The Earth sword and Chao Yin sword appeared from the void of space.
A flash.
They went through the window and flew straight to the sky.
The two swords were very fast, flying side by side for only a short while before they split up and fell down in different directions.
As they fell into the hidden locations, they turned into blurred images in the blink of an eye, traveling back and forth.
The heads of the Defense Minister's supporters exploded like watermelons.
They all fell to the ground at the same time.
All dead.
Against normal Professionists like them, the speed of the swords alone was enough to kill them, there wasn't even a need to use Sword Seal.
Cutting through all the shackles, the two swords once again flew to the sky, heading to the next location.
Gu Qing Shan was walking through the cathedral while saving Varona's supporters.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Under the control of his inner sight, the Earth sword had already killed all the enemies in one location and saved Varona's daughter, the Fuxi princess.
"Kidnapping a direct descendant of the royal family, according to the Fuxi Codex, is a death sentence"
"… Very well, I'll bring her back"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan suddenly disappeared from the cathedral.
The Earth sword reappeared where he was.
But he was already at the hidden location.
Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]
"Your Royal Highness, please follow me"
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out to the princess.
The princess looked at him with a complicated expression.
Back at the ball, I thought he was just a bookworm.
It wasn't until my mother told me how powerful he was that I realized.
"Thank you" the princess said in a low voice.
She took his hand.
"No need to be so polite, and the rest of you as well"
Gu Qing Shan told the officials and royal guards.
"What should we do?" one of the officials asked.
"Just hold my arm" Gu Qing Shan said.
Everyone followed his order and put their hands on his arm.
A few moments later, everyone disappeared.
The Earth sword reappeared where they disappeared.
