Two days have passed since Tianwaitian and Hehuan Sect had an appointment for battle.
The news that Xu Feng, the second elder of the Hehuan Sect, was killed spread throughout the entire Eastern Region, and the name of Tianwai Tian also became known to all major forces.
The top forces include the Heavenly Demon Palace, the True Martial Dao Sect, etc.
Their eyes were all focused on the Qin Dynasty, looking forward to and curious about what measures the other side would take next.
In the northern part of the Qin Dynasty, Qiufeng Lake.
A young man in white was sitting cross-legged by the lake, fishing with a delicate bamboo pole in his hand, his eyes closed, quietly waiting for the fish to bite.
"thump."
After waiting for a while, there was a movement in the lake, water splashed around, and a fat unicorn fish jumped up and landed on the ground.
It kept slapping the ground, trying to struggle back into the water.
Seeing this, the young man in white couldn't help but smile. He gently held it and shook his head, saying, "Xiao Yu'er, you're lucky this time. Don't be so greedy next time."
Then he let go and threw it back into the water.
The next moment, a black shadow flashed out and appeared beside him.
"Meet the Lord."
Ding Chunqiu knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said
Gu Chuan, who was dressed in white, glanced at the other party, nodded calmly, and asked, "How is it going?"
"Have you found out who is coming from the Qin Dynasty this time?"
Ding Chunqiu nodded slightly and said, "After an in-depth investigation, we have found out the identity of the visitor.
According to reliable sources, this person’s name is Qingshan, and he is most likely the Qing King from the Qin Dynasty—Gu Qingshan.”
He paused for a moment, then continued his analysis: "But what is puzzling is that Gu Qingshan was just watching the fight from behind, but did nothing to stop it."
Gu Chuan did not answer, but glanced at the sparkling lake, narrowed his eyes and said:
"What these people in power like to watch most is dog-eat-dog. No matter which side wins, it will be a hundred benefits for the Qin Dynasty without any harm."
"Besides, Emperor Qin is an ambitious emperor. The Hehuan Sect cannot stop him. At most, it will just waste some time."
As the undisputed dominant force in the Eastern Region, the Qin Dynasty was second to none in terms of strength.
Originally, the dynasty had maintained a relatively peaceful relationship with the top forces, but since the current Emperor Qin ascended the throne, the situation has changed dramatically.
The contemporary Qin Emperor is ambitious and begins to recruit and suppress various forces in the world.
The talented disciples trained by many forces were incorporated into the Qin Dynasty one after another, which undoubtedly became one of the important factors for the Qin Dynasty to rise rapidly and continue to grow and develop in recent years.
In this incident, even though Qing Wang Gu Qingshan was at the scene, he simply chose to watch from the sidelines and had no intention of intervening to stop it.
From this we can see that Emperor Qin was determined to incorporate and suppress the forces of the underworld.
After all, this method can effectively weaken the overall strength of other forces, thereby further consolidating its own ruling position. Why wouldn't the Qin Dynasty do it?
Just as the two were talking, the Mirror Heart Demon, who had been waiting outside the door, suddenly changed his expression and rushed in hurriedly.
"My Lord, I have something important to report."
"According to the information obtained by the Bad People, there have been frequent unusual movements in the Seven Killing Palace and the Sword King City recently. Their footprints have appeared around the Qin Dynasty. It seems that they are preparing for something big."
Mirror Heart Demon began to report, his tone slightly solemn.
The Seven Killings Palace and the Sword King City are both top forces, so anything that can attract the attention of both parties is naturally not a small matter.
Gu Chuan listened to his report quietly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke in a trance:
"I see. How could I have forgotten that next month is the succession ceremony for the Marquis of Huainan."
"The Marquis of Huainan is the first among all the kings of the Qin Dynasty, and the first marquis of the Qin Dynasty."
"With his connections, he can indeed invite these top forces."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember where it was.
At this time, Jing Xin Mo recalled the information about Marquis Huainan and said seriously, "My Lord, their goal may not be to participate in the succession, but to obtain the divine magic formula of Marquis Huainan."
"Thirty years ago, someone said that the Marquis of Huainan gained a divine art after training in the Sky-suspended Sea, and his cultivation level soared to become the number one marquis in the Qin Dynasty."
"Of course, this is just a rumor, but according to the information from the Seven Killing Palace and Sword King City, perhaps the divine law really exists."
These remarks also cheered up Gu Chuan.
The Shinto magic, the magic that many earthly immortals longed for in ancient times, it is a shortcut to becoming a demigod.
No wonder the Seven Killing Palace and Sword King City attached so much importance to it, and even the Qin Dynasty sent the Green King, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, to go there.
"Pass the order down and tell the bad guys to keep a close eye on the Huainan Marquis's mansion during this period of time."
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Gu Chuan suddenly thought of something, glanced at the inner demon, and said:
"On the day when the Marquis of Huainan passes on his throne, my good brother might go with the Prince of Qing."
"If you encounter it, haha...you should know what to do."
Mirror Heart Demon immediately responded: "Yes, I will definitely take good care of him."
…
South of Daqin, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.
Huainan Marquis Mansion.
Ever since the news spread that Marquis Huainan was preparing to pass on the throne, the entire southern part of the dynasty was shaken.
Many forces have placed bets on the sons of Marquis Huainan. They are gambling.
If the bet is right, these forces will surely prosper in the future. If it is wrong, they will be destroyed.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, everyone has already taken sides and no one can remain neutral.
In the Marquis' Mansion, in a dimly lit secret room.
Huainan Marquis Chen Xuanfeng was sitting cross-legged on a white cushion. He looked old and gloomy, and his life span was not long.
In front of him, there were three men kneeling, two middle-aged men and one young man, all three of them were his sons.
“Ahem…”
Chen Xuanfeng coughed twice, then looked at his three sons in front of him and said in a low voice, "Your father's life span is not long. I asked you to come here today to pass on the throne."
Before he could finish his sentence, his youngest son Chen Chen started to cry: "No, Dad, I don't want you to die, wuwuwu..."
Although the other two sons also had tear marks, they were no longer rookies after having experienced the world of martial arts, and were not like Chen Chen.
Chen Xuanfeng touched his youngest son Chen Chen's head and said lovingly, "Haha... You are already a famous genius in the Qin Dynasty, so you can't cry easily."
"My father's death is God's will and destiny."
