Chapter 589 Duel
"Ambassador," Naga said, "Our Na clan has been following immortality for two thousand years. We have been managing the Immortal Tent alongside the Great King's Court, determined to restore the splendor of the Jade Kingdom. We have absolutely no intention of usurping power, and we have never been a rebel!
"On the contrary, now that old thief Sajue has colluded with an external cult and tampered with the longevity scriptures. This is a gross disrespect to both superiors and subordinates. For all these reasons, Sajue is the rebel!"
Qiu Jindong nodded: "The Patriarch is absolutely right. Our Yan Nation is also willing to help with such a righteous act."
"Yan Nation's actions truly demonstrate the magnanimity of a great nation," Naga said with a few simple compliments. "Then, to ensure the smooth progress of our cooperation, may I ask... What is the true purpose of the ambassadors' visit to the Great King's Court this time?"
"Naturally, it's to have friendly exchanges with the Great Royal Court, establish a cooperative relationship, and prepare for the upcoming World Championship."
Hearing this, Naga frowned.
Obviously, this was not the answer he wanted to hear.
"Ambassador, now that we've come to this, please spare me these polite words." Naga waved his hand. "You killed Salang, and Salang will certainly be sworn enemies. Talking about cooperation under such circumstances is wishful thinking."
Qiu Jindong smiled softly: "Sa Jue cannot represent the Great King's Court."
“…”
Naga raised his brows slightly.
He pondered for a moment before saying:
"You... want to see His Highness the Khan?"
"nature."
"You may not know, but the Khan is very old, and his daily health care is usually taken care of by Sajue. Now His Highness the Khan has not appeared in public for a long time, I think it is already..."
Naga didn't continue.
Qiu Jindong asked, "Do you think the Khan has passed away?"
"I absolutely dare not make such a guess. His Highness the Khan is extremely powerful, and I naturally hope that he is safe and sound. However..." Naga's face was filled with sorrow, "It's just that Sajue's methods are treacherous. If he relies on his position to do something ruthless, it will be difficult for the Khan to guard against him..."
After saying this, Naga sighed deeply, "If the Khan were still alive, he would definitely not allow the Imperial Master to continue to act recklessly like this."
"We think so too." Qiu Jindong nodded, "So, the purpose of our trip is to awaken the Khan."
“…”
Hearing this, Naga's expression gradually became serious.
"Are you... sure?"
"If we weren't sure, we wouldn't dare take the risk alone," Qiu Jindong said. "I can give that family head a firm message - this time we're heading to the Great King's Court, whether Di Khan is awake or not, Sa Jue will never rule the Great King's Court again."
Naga: "...You want to kill the Imperial Master?"
Qiu Jindong did not respond to this statement.
He just asked, "Then the master of the family, would you like to join us?"
This is considered a formal invitation.
This time, Naga was silent for a long time.
Then he waved his hand, and the dancers immediately understood and left the tent one after another.
"We don't want to start a major conflict with Sajue for now," Naga said. "The Na clan has endured several rounds of encirclement and suppression, and now it's time to hide and recuperate. If anything unexpected happens now... Ambassador, I am ultimately responsible for the elders and children of the clan."
"Then the master of the family doesn't believe us?"
"I dare not."
"That doesn't matter." Qiu Jindong's smile remained unchanged. "Our plan didn't require the help of the rebels."
"Oh?" Naga's expression changed. "This is the heartland of the Hunter Tribe. There are countless powerful warriors who protect the nation. Especially around the Sutra Recitation Day, most of them must be staying near the Royal Court... In this situation, even if you have the strength to kill Salang, it's impossible to assassinate Sajue with so many experts around."
"Yan Country has its own methods of doing things."
"This is too risky..."
"That's fine." Qiu Jindong seemed unconcerned. "If the Khan can't see you when he opens his eyes, then the title of rebel army will be undeniable to others... Then, Patriarch, you're not the only rebels in the Changsheng Tent, right?"
Naga: “…”
He didn't say anything, his eyes narrowed, and he was thinking quickly in his mind.
It's not that he doesn't have the courage to agree to cooperate. Since he invited Qiu Jindong to dinner, he is naturally ready to cooperate.
The reason why they were hesitant just now was that they wanted Qiu Jindong to show them more of their cards... This way, they could get more information and be prepared in advance in case of unexpected accidents.
At the same time, it also allows Qiu Jindong to give them some confidence - since they are going to cooperate, then these are necessary, right?
However, he didn't see the bottom card, but saw Qiu Jindong directly display a hand of void card making.
Qiu Jindong has already pointed out that they will definitely do something, and by then even if Emperor Khan does not wake up, the royal court will definitely be in chaos.
When Emperor Khan wakes up, if that clan appears before him, it will be considered as "meritorious for saving the emperor"; if not... then the name of "Killing Army" alone will be enough for him to completely liquidate that clan!
Who would listen to your explanation of whether you were a rebel? So many people had heard the name, and you had already done some of the things, so it had to be one. They had no place to express their grievances.
The Lou family has been in charge of the Great Royal Court since the Changsheng Era. The Lou family's rule has never been interrupted for thousands of years, and their Na clan only came to power two thousand years ago and became the tribe in charge of the Ninth Tent... They know very well how they came to power.
If they hesitate at this time, it will give the Khan a reason to settle accounts with them. When the time comes, the next tribe will naturally take over the Ninth Camp in their place!
Even if Emperor Khan didn't wake up, as long as the Imperial Master died, or even as long as Qiu Jindong and the others muddied the waters in the Great King's Court, they could take advantage of the opportunity to profit from it!
Qiu Jindong was right. There were many rebels in the hunting tribe who were forced to rebel by the national teacher, not just their group. If they did not seize this opportunity to try to return to the royal court, then this opportunity would be seized by others!
Even... during the period when the Imperial Master died and the Khan was unconscious, it is not impossible that the Lou family was directly driven out of the royal court... Instead of letting others drive out the Lou family, it is better to let their clan come!
The Great King Court has been with the Lou family for so long, it's time to change their surname...
Who doesn’t have this ambition?
If the surname is not "Na"...they will also be liquidated!
During their time as rebels, they had offended many people. As long as one of the tribes gained power, they would surely be killed.
The change of power is so cruel
In other words... they have no choice.
This is true in theory, and what Qiu Jindong said in front of him also proved that they knew this very well.
He couldn't help but feel more wary of this Yan person.
Although he has never been to the Changsheng Tent, he can accurately grasp his own psychology.
But now, he is still a little hesitant.
He couldn't let go of his worries until he took a look at Qiu Jindong and the others' trump cards... Admittedly, he had no choice, but if Qiu Jindong couldn't accomplish anything in the end, then this choice would be irrelevant.
If they wanted to fish in troubled waters in the Great King's Court, with the current strength of the Na clan, they would have to use all their strength, otherwise they wouldn't be able to make a single splash...
What if Qiu Jindong was just bluffing, and the actual purpose of this trip was just to make friends, and if they did nothing else, then they would become clowns.
Perhaps the ragtag army of killers was actually Qiu Jindong's "gift" to Sa Jue... While the current signs suggest it's unlikely, what if? I've heard there's an old story in Yan Country about a counselor being able to borrow the monarch's head to achieve their goals. What if the same thing happened with Sa Lang's head?
Damn it!
The Yan people are too difficult to deal with. They are completely different from those straightforward people from other tribes!
Having been the head of that family for many years, he believed that he was quite cunning, but now there was no place for him to display his cunning.
Naga stroked the golden wine glass with his fingers, his eyes constantly changing. Seeing this, Qiu Jindong did not rush to speak, but just looked at Naga with a calm smile.
He knew that the head of the family was ambitious, and once such a person encountered an opportunity... he would definitely not be able to control himself.
After a long time, Naga felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
Bet on it!
But before that, Naga still needs to confirm one thing.
"Ambassadors," Naga said, "Are you heading to the Great King's Court to participate in the Royal Court Martial Tournament?"
"nature."
"To be honest, my daughter Na Jun was originally going to participate in this conference, but now... before the competition, why not let her spar with the younger generations brought by the ambassadors?"
"Oh?" Qiu Jindong's expression softened slightly.
He looked at Naga's eyes and thought for a moment.
Is Naga...trying to judge his own position?
In that case, then there’s no need to win this competition.
It's a very simple logic. If they are on a formal mission to participate in the competition, then the person they choose must be the top talent of Yan Country. They pursue victory and cannot lose face.
But if this trip is intended to cause trouble secretly, then it doesn't matter whether we fight for face or not... On the contrary, because the death rate of the younger generation in the turmoil is too high, the people sent are likely to be some ordinary geniuses.
He may have some talent, but it's not too amazing, and I won't feel sad if he dies.
So, no need to win.
Then, let Wenren Ge take action... We still have to give him this reassurance.
Thinking of this, Qiu Jindong nodded: "Of course, then the ones we will be fighting on our side are..."
"Qiu Zhenguo."
At this time, Yu Cang suddenly spoke.
"Let me do it."
"Hmm?" Qiu Jindong raised his eyebrows, "Yu Cang, let Wen Renge have this chance..."
Wenren Ge and Na Jun are both level six, but Wenren Ge definitely can't win.
They knew that the Royal Court Martial Arts Competition was divided into two groups: the under-twenty group and the under-thirty group.
The former is a battle between level five soul card masters, while the latter is a battle between level six.
Considering Na Jun’s age, he must be the latter, that is, level six… Someone like Wen Renge, who has just been promoted to level six, is guaranteed to lose.
But Yu Cang is different... I can only say that those who understand will understand.
It would be bad if this talent scares others again!
For this mission, the outcome of the exchange battle is indeed unimportant, otherwise Di Changan would definitely ask Wen Ren Ge not to break through recently so that he can participate in the fifth-level group.
Therefore, Qiu Jindong made all kinds of hints, but Yu Cang just smiled.
"Qiu Zhenguo, I understand what you mean, but Jie Shuang has already demonstrated her strength outside before."
As autumn approaches winter, his expression changes slightly.
This... is true.
Jie Shuang's sword intent can definitely be mastered by a genius among geniuses... No matter which country it is, it is a treasure that would be reluctant to be damaged, so why would they send it to carry out such a mission?
That……
Qiu Jindong nodded: "Okay...don't go too far later."
"I understand." Yu Cang stood up, his eyes fell on Na Jun, and he extended his hand to invite her, "Miss Na Jun—please."
“Puff.”
Na Jun couldn't help but laugh.
"Little white face...you want to fight me? You don't even have a hunting pet."
"In Yan Country, fighting does not require the help of hunting pets."
"Then they are all extremely weak..."
Na Jun wanted to say something, but he saw that Nazhenaga was looking at him, so he swallowed his words immediately.
"Okay, okay... well, don't cry if I beat you later."
She stood up.
"Let's go to the martial arts arena."
After saying this, he walked out of the tent. Yu Cang smiled and followed him.
"Ambassador." Naga also stood up, "Let's move over and take a look."
…
Martial arts training ground.
There are no complete facilities like the Yan Country Arena here, it is just a cleared flat land, nothing more.
"I'm talking to you, pretty boy." Na Jun clapped his hands. "How do you decide the winner in a duel in Yan Country?"
"Break the duel shield."
"Duel Shield?" Na Jun tapped his lips with his finger. "New stuff... We all lose even if our hunting pets are shattered... Since you don't have a hunting pet, then we'll play by your rules."
Although hunting pets are precious, they are nothing in the eyes of those who have the resources to become soul card masters.
If it breaks, just make another one... Anyway, there are plenty of materials.
"nature."
Yu Cang nodded. At this time, Qiu Jindong also raised his hand and used two soul cards.
Wow!
The silver-white duel shield enveloped Yu Cang and Na Jun at the same time, and then suddenly tightened, sticking closely to their bodies so as not to affect their movements during combat.
"This is the duel shield..." Na Jun looked at his hands with a curious look, "Interesting... But I don't understand it."
She raised her head and looked at Yu Cang: "Why is my duel shield so much thicker than yours?"
In response, Yu Cang smiled peacefully.
"You'll know soon."
He also understood what Naga meant.
In the current situation, it is impossible to hide one's abilities, which will only make the Naga suspicious.
Then, there is only one way -
Win the duel with strength far beyond everyone's comprehension!
As a peerless genius, the Yan State naturally did not trust him to go deep into the heartland of another country.
But what if this genius is one of a kind? What if this genius can be seen at a glance, and will eventually become a legend?
"Ten seconds."
Yu Cang stretched out a finger.
"In 10 seconds, I will end the fight. Before then, you can attack as you please. I will not resist."
"Huh?"
Na Jun was stunned.
Then, the smile in his eyes quickly faded, and a deep coldness flashed in them.
Her eyes suddenly became intense, the corners of her mouth twitched, and her entire expression was distorted!
"Are you...provoking me?"
Yu Cang said nothing and extended his second finger.
“2.”
"...Okay, very good." Na Jun laughed in anger, "Yu Cang, right... Yu Cang! After I defeat you, I will cut off your limbs and throw you on my bed to drain you completely before I let you die! You... just watch carefully!"
Phew!
An eagle's cry suddenly sounded, and the eagle-shaped hunting pet broke through the air and flew onto her forearm!
