Ever since the Marquis of Huainan was brutally murdered, the great scholar Chu Xiujin was extremely anxious. He rode his horse at full speed that day, galloping all the way towards the mysterious and solemn Qitian Academy.
On this day, the entire Qitian Academy was shocked by what the great scholar Chu Xiujin described.
The Seven Killing Hall actually dared to assassinate the first marquis of the Qin Dynasty. They were so bold.
Several other equally respected scholars were also shocked when they learned about this.
He immediately submitted a memorial to the Qin Dynasty, detailing the heinous nature of the incident and its possible serious consequences.
At the same time, in the magnificent Qin court, the atmosphere was heavy and solemn.
Civil officials and military generals gathered together to engage in a heated discussion about the assassination of Marquis Huainan.
Everyone had heavy expressions and expressed their own opinions. The court was filled with a tense and serious atmosphere.
Gu Jiuxiao was seen sitting on the throne, looking calm and dignified.
He slowly asked in a calm tone: "My dear ministers, what do you think about the assassination of Huainan Hou by the Seven Killing Hall?"
His tone was very calm, as if he was asking about an ordinary matter.
The ministers were accustomed to this. After all, Gu Jiuxiao was an emperor who was feared by the world, with an extremely respected status and an extraordinary vision.
The life and death of a mere Marquis of Qin was not enough to cause him too much emotion. At most, he felt a little surprised.
At this moment, an old man in a bright red robe, standing at the front of the line of civil officials, walked out of the crowd slowly and steadily.
He first bowed respectfully towards the throne, then said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Seven Killing Palace's actions are simply arrogant and audacious."
"You dared to wantonly assassinate the Marquis in the territory of my Great Qin. If this matter is not handled properly, the reputation accumulated by my Great Qin for a hundred years will go to waste."
After being deliberately spread by certain forces, this matter has gradually reached the ears of the heroes in the martial arts world.
I believe that it won’t be long before the entire Eastern Region will know about it.
Therefore, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible with thundering means to avoid being gossiped about behind the back and damaging our reputation.
After the red-robed old man finished speaking, everyone present focused their attention on him, which shows that he has an extraordinary status.
Then, the God of War Dongfang Bai, who was the leader of the military commanders, also bowed and echoed:
"I also support what the Prime Minister said. This matter concerns the dignity of the imperial dynasty. The Seven Killing Palace must be crushed with the force of thunder."
"I am willing to lead the Flying Dragon Guard to eliminate this disaster for Your Majesty."
Although there have been conflicts between civil officials and military generals for many years, they are still very united in dealing with foreign affairs.
This is also what the Qin Emperor envisioned his dynasty to be like.
"You two are right. The Seven Killing Palace is so bold as to try to kill our Marquis of Great Qin."
Gu Jiuxiao nodded in agreement, then glanced at Dongfang Bai below and said:
"Since Lord Dongfang has requested a fight, I will give you 10,000 Flying Dragon Guards. I hope you will not let me down."
The Qin Dynasty had three armies that intimidated the world, namely the Flying Tiger Army, the Flying Dragon Guard, and the Jinwu Guard.
Among them, Feihu is controlled by Night King Gu Longshen, occupying an entire area in the north. He can be said to be the first king of Daqin.
The Flying Dragon Guards are the personal guards trained by Emperor Qin. Their number is only 30,000, but all of them are first-rate cultivators, and 90% of them are at the Grandmaster level.
As for the last Jinwu Guard, it is an army guarding the imperial palace, and its leader is a powerful being at the celestial realm.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your trust."
Dongfang Bai slightly bowed his hands and said in a firm tone
The Green Prince Gu Qingshan, who was standing at the front, narrowed his eyes after seeing the situation and thought to himself, "Something is wrong."
“Although Dongfang Bai is bloodthirsty and warlike, he is not so diligent. Could it be that the Seven Killing Palace has some treasure that I don’t know about?”
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense to him, and he had already decided to investigate it thoroughly after leaving court.
After all, there is now a three-way balance of power in the Qin court.
Civil officials, military generals, and princes formed a three-way balance of power.
Many times, civil officials and military generals are birds of a feather, and the princes are unable to fully unite because they are wary of each other.
After a while, the Emperor Qin gave a few instructions, then left the court and came to the imperial garden.
At this moment, in the Imperial Garden.
From afar, a young monk wearing a red robe and with a handsome face was sitting cross-legged on a peach tree.
His every breath followed the flow of the power of heaven and earth, as if he were the master of this world.
A string of ancient Buddhist beads was wrapped around her hand, and her fingers were turning from time to time, as if time was beating.
"Um?"
“You’re finally here.”
The young monk seemed to have sensed something, his eyes quietly opened, and his tone was filled with surprise and joy.
Before he finished speaking, a sound of strong footsteps came from a distance, and the person coming was Emperor Qin.
"Long time no see, Zhen Zen."
Gu Jiuxiao looked at the young monk on the peach tree, his tone slightly solemn.
The only people who can make him look serious are the top fifteen strongest people in the world. No one else has the qualifications to do so.
It is obvious that this unprepossessing young monk is one of the top fifteen in the world.
"It's been a long time since we last met. Time flies so fast. Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye."
"We haven't sparred for thirty years."
The spiritual energy around him cheered, and Zhen Chan slowly stood up with the spiritual energy, saying with emotion
The two of them just stared at each other from a distance, and the moment their eyes met, two terrifying auras instantly emerged.
Two rays of light, one purple and one red, were constantly fighting against each other in mid-air. The surrounding space was twisting wildly and breaking apart piece by piece.
After a while, the two of them tacitly restrained their momentum and did not try to fight again.
"Emperor Qin is truly a man of extraordinary talent. In just a few decades, he has already entered the realm of immortals on earth. He deserves to be hailed as the reincarnation of a great power."
Zhen Chan felt the unique aura around him, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. "I hope that next time I see you, we can have a real fight."
After saying this, his body began to fade away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The moment he disappeared, the leader of the Jinwu Guards guarding the imperial palace sensed it and immediately led his men to track him down without stopping.
But when he saw that only Emperor Qin was standing in the imperial garden, his heart skipped a beat and he knew something bad was going to happen.
"I failed to notice the enemy approaching. This is a dereliction of duty. Your Majesty, please punish me."
The leader of the Jinwu Guards immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
Gu Jiuxiao glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, shook his head and said, "Stand up, this is not your fault."
In the entire Qin Dynasty, except for the Four Heavenly Kings and the royal ancestors, there was basically no one who could compete with Zhen Chan just now, let alone be able to sense his aura.
So the Emperor Qin had no intention of blaming him. It was human nature.
