Watching Bai Qi's figure disappear into the distance, the hearts of the Qin generals, led by Wang He, all sank to their wits' end.
Not long ago, they were overjoyed to see Bai Qi display his divine might, shattering nine divine crossbows with a single arrow, and even the magnificent might of the Handan city wall.
Now, as they watch Bai Qi's departing figure, how lost and sorrowful they feel!
Bai Qi was supposed to be the guardian deity of the Qin state, leading it to unprecedented glory!
As a result, due to the incredibly foolish actions of King Ying Ji of Qin, Bai Qi turned away from the Qin state and went from being the guardian deity of the Qin state to a potential and huge enemy of the Qin state!
Just thinking about the scene if Bai Qi's divine might had been used against the Qin state...
Wang He and other Qin generals couldn't help but shudder.
That's such a terrifying thing!
Even a mighty city like Xianyang, could it possibly stop Bai Qi?!
...
At this moment, outside Handan City, the Qin generals, including Wang He, were all filled with sorrow.
Especially Wang He, who was in charge.
He looked at the corpses of Qin soldiers who had just been gathered up in the distance, the corpses of those who had died in the siege, and thought of the tens of thousands of Qin soldiers who had died in the attack on Handan after the Battle of Changping.
Furthermore, a large number of soldiers and officers will continue to sacrifice themselves in the process of capturing Handan.
Wang He felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. His vision went black, and he lost his balance, staggering back several steps before nearly falling to the ground.
'That scoundrel Ying Ji is truly unworthy of being the King of Qin!'
'What contributions did Lord Wu'an make to the Qin Dynasty? What an important figure he was! Yet, this person dared to issue an edict to execute him!'
'If one day Ying Ji dislikes me, he will surely execute me just as he executed Lord Wu'an!'
'Ha! We joined the army, fighting bloody battles for the Qin Dynasty, yet in his eyes we are nothing more than slaves who can be executed at will!'
'This heartless and ruthless King of Qin is truly unworthy of our service!'
In Wang He's heart, a heart-wrenching cry arose.
He hated it so much!
Originally, if it weren't for Ying Ji's foolish actions three years ago, Qin would have been able to conquer Handan and destroy the Zhao state under Bai Qi's leadership.
And what was the result?
It was all because of King Ying Ji's foolish orders that Qin missed the great opportunity to destroy Zhao, causing tens of thousands of Qin soldiers to sacrifice themselves in vain over the past two years!
Furthermore, now, because of Ying Ji, the Qin state has lost a national war god like Bai Qi!
Fortunately, Bai Qi did not harbor resentment towards the Qin state because of that fool Ying Ji.
Otherwise, the Qin state would have faced an unimaginable catastrophe!
...
As generals of the Qin state, Wang He and others originally held King Ying Ji in awe and dared not address him by his name directly, nor did they complain about him.
However, at this moment, Ying Ji did something as foolish as executing Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi.
The generals were disheartened and extremely disheartened, and couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
They asked themselves, and they felt that in terms of achievements, they were far inferior to Bai Qi.
If Ying Ji dared to execute someone as accomplished and powerful as Bai Qi so casually, what chance would he have against them?
For a time, Qin generals such as Wang He suffered a huge blow because of Bai Qi's affair.
It took Wang He and the other Qin generals quite some time to come to their senses.
After regaining my senses.
Looking in the direction where Bai Qi, Ying Zheng, and Zhao Ji disappeared, Wang He and the others were filled with deep confusion:
'What exactly is the Primordial Daoist Temple that Lord Wu'an mentioned just now?'
According to Lord Wu'an, he only studied under the Holy Ancestor of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple for a maximum of one hour, yet his strength skyrocketed, making him a powerful being even above the celestial beings!
'Who is this divine being capable of creating such an incredible feat? Could it be that the Primordial Ancestor is a celestial being?'
'But why did he order Lord Wu'an to rescue the child from Handan?'
'Could it be that the child is a chosen one, favored by the gods?'
...
On the other side.
On the city wall of Handan.
Lian Po was already shocked that Bai Qi actually had a Holy Ancestor Master.
When he heard Bai Qi say that he had not yet reached the level of a Celestial Being an hour ago, he froze on the spot once again!
Bai Qi's words had a tremendous impact on Lian Po, making him question the meaning of life!
As a grandmaster of martial arts, Lian Po knew very well how difficult it was to break through the grandmaster level and advance to the celestial realm.
He was also well aware that Bai Qi's current power far surpassed that of a celestial being!
In just one hour, he went from a Grandmaster to a godlike figure like Bai Qi...
This is truly bizarre and completely deviates from Lian Po's understanding of martial arts.
Even if Lian Po had witnessed it with his own eyes, he would not have believed such an incredible thing!
...
'The Primordial Ancestor Master mentioned by Bai Qi must be an incomparably powerful deity!'
'Only the power of the legendary gods could create such an incredible miracle!'
Lian Po came to a conclusion he was absolutely certain of.
Immediately, a deep sense of confusion arose in his heart:
'But why have I never heard of the name of this Hongmeng Saint Ancestor?'
Who exactly is the Primordial Ancestor? Why did He accept Bai Qi, who was ordered to commit suicide by the King of Qin? And why did He send Bai Qi to Handan to rescue Ying Yiren's son?
'His act of saving Bai Qi seems to put him on the opposite side of Qin; yet, by having Bai Qi rescue Ying Yiren's son, it seems to help Qin...'
What is His stance? And what does He ultimately want to achieve?
Lian Po had many questions in his mind about the Primordial Ancestor that Yin Zicheng had transformed into.
His thoughts raced, but he couldn't figure it out.
...
After much thought, I realized I had absolutely no clue what to do.
Lian Po composed himself and quickly ordered his men to send the severely injured Lord Pingyuan, Zhao Sheng, for medical treatment, lest this pillar of the Zhao state die here.
Then, despite his injuries, Lian Po made various arrangements.
Under his arrangement, craftsmen were urgently summoned to repair the city walls, which had suffered severe damage.
Someone came and took away the wounded but not dead soldiers from the city wall for medical treatment.
Meanwhile, another elite force was stationed on the city wall to guard against a possible Qin army attack.
After arranging everything, Lian Po left with peace of mind and headed straight for the Zhao royal palace!
Upon arriving at the Zhao royal palace and meeting King Xiaocheng of Zhao, Lian Po reported to the king on the series of events that had occurred outside.
Then, he looked at the King of Zhao and asked:
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple and the Hongmeng Holy Ancestor?"
