This is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
Wearing the armor of a deputy general of Daqi, the aura emanating from him was only at the early stage of the Core Formation realm.
His strength at the early stage of the Core Formation realm was considered top-tier in the Great Yang Dynasty at that time.
However, for Daqi at present, the strength of a cultivator in the early stage of the Core Formation realm is only that of a minor general.
After the nation's power surged and its innate physique was repeatedly cleansed and purified by the golden dragon of the nation's destiny, its strength increased dramatically.
Within Daqi, cultivators at the Core Formation Realm sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
With the spiritual energy of heaven and earth increasing more than tenfold and an almost unlimited supply of pills, there are now dozens of Nascent Soul stage cultivators within the Daqi army.
Every so often, someone breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop.
These people all have extremely solid foundations but are unable to break through due to limited talent and resources.
With the country's power soaring, these people's talents were brought to their full potential time and time again, which is why such an explosive wave of breakthroughs occurred.
As long as Daqi exists and continues to grow stronger, the strength of those who belong to Daqi will increase almost without limit.
This is the true meaning of the struggle for destiny.
When a nation prospers, its people become strong.
When all the people are strong, the nation will prosper and never decline.
Those who appeared in the Chunyang Mountains were all selected individuals, either for their outstanding military achievements or for their exceptional talents.
And they were the people that Xiao Boqi planned to send into the ruins.
When the middle-aged man saw that Yi Boqi was staring at him coldly, he quickly bowed.
"Your Highness, I am filled with trepidation."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, his face was full of confusion and panic.
The generals present also looked at Xiao Boqi with confusion.
The middle-aged man in front of them was their comrade-in-arms who had fought for many years, and his strength had only recently increased due to the surge in national power.
The Crown Prince's sudden cold gaze startled them.
Because they didn't know what His Highness the Crown Prince intended to do.
But as soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, Xiao Boqi gave a cold laugh.
"Fear?"
"It should be self-satisfaction."
As he spoke, Yi Boqi slowly walked up to the middle-aged man.
"You concealed it very well, and you hid it very well."
"But you've forgotten one thing."
No sooner had he finished speaking than his right hand shot out with lightning speed, tearing off the middle-aged man's right arm.
He then removed the storage ring from his right hand and instantly erased the divine sense mark on it.
With a soft thud, all the items inside the storage ring were thrown to the ground.
With a wave of his right hand, a token shot out from the pile of items and stopped in front of Qi Boqi.
This token comes from the Heavenly Blade Guard of the Heavenly Blade Imperial Dynasty.
Holding the token gently in his hand, Huang Boqi looked at the middle-aged man whose right arm had been torn off and who was enduring excruciating pain.
"Including Dayang before, you have been hiding and lying dormant here for more than ten years. You have been hiding and lying dormant for more than ten years without being discovered. Your status within the Heavenly Blade Guard should not be too low."
After he finished speaking, his eyes turned icy cold.
"But you have forgotten that those who have made a breakthrough in the strength of my Daqi army are all due to their unwavering faith in Daqi. They already carry the imprint of Daqi's national destiny within them and are closely connected with Daqi's national destiny."
"And people like you who harbor ulterior motives towards Daqi are naturally not included, and will be rejected by the Golden Dragon of National Fortune."
"So what you think is flawless is as transparent to me as a candle in the dark."
After saying that, he grabbed the middle-aged man by the neck with his left hand.
"Do you know why I allowed you into the Chunyang Mountains even though I knew you were a Heavenly Blade Guard of the Heavenly Blade Dynasty, and why I even killed the Ghost Gate Master and the Liu Family Ancestor right in front of you?"
Seeing the middle-aged man whose face was flushed and who was having difficulty breathing, Yi Boqi's lips curled up slightly.
"Because I have said that the cruelest way to deal with an enemy is to completely destroy his so-called scheme the moment he thinks it is about to succeed."
"This pain is a hundred times worse than physical torture."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he snapped the middle-aged man's neck.
He then looked at the Heavenly Blade Guard token in his hand and gave a cold snort.
As the only imperial dynasty in the Horned Constellation Divine Realm, the Heavenly Blade Dynasty has established a large number of scouts in all the kingdoms within the Divine Realm.
This allows us to understand all the changes within each power's territory.
In this era of divine realm conquest and the reshuffling of fortunes, the Heavenly Blade Dynasty will further intensify its monitoring of the divine realm.
Because of the reorganization of fortunes in the battle for supremacy in the divine realm, the imperial dynasty was the most affected.
Anything out of control could lead to the collapse of an imperial dynasty that had stood for thousands of years.
Although the Azure Dragon Temple withdrew all its personnel from within the Flowing Cloud Realm, this was done openly.
The real backup plan is a spy like the middle-aged man who has been hiding his identity for many years.
Just as Ye Boqi killed the Liu family patriarch and opened a small door leading to the ruins on the formation.
The middle-aged man moved.
His actions were precisely on this Heavenly Blade Guard token.
The token is engraved with the unique communication array of the Heavenly Blade Guard.
Just as he finished sending the message and was smugly waiting for the Heavenly Blade Dynasty's army to arrive, Xiao Boqi made his move.
What he didn't know was that the great array set up by Yi Boqi could not only conceal the aura of the ruins being opened, but also block all communication arrays.
For a spy from an opposing force who has harbored malicious intentions for over a decade, dismemberment would be too lenient.
Therefore, Yi Boqi prepared the most painful way for him to die.
Let him go to that damned Western Paradise with the regret of failing at the last minute and the immense resentment.
In the instant he snapped his neck, Qi Boqi forcibly extracted a wisp of his soul and infused it into the token.
Thus, in the eyes of the Heavenly Blade Dynasty, he was still alive, and was still investigating the secrets within Daqi for the Dynasty.
This time difference was enough for Xiao Boqi to completely monopolize the ancient ruins before him.
With a flick of his wrist, he embedded the token into a large rock, then turned to look at the assembled generals.
"The struggle for destiny is an endless battle of life and death. Enemies will use all sorts of means to steal my treasures and seize my country's destiny, and they will even kill my closest relatives."
"The only way to survive and protect everything we want to protect is to become stronger."
"Only by being strong enough can we cope with all crises, kill all enemies, and deter all villains."
After speaking, Huang Boqi flicked his sleeves.
"All uninvited guests are enemies of Daqi!"
"Those who are enemies of my Great Qi shall all be slain!"
As soon as Yi Boqi finished speaking, all the generals of Daqi knelt down at the same time.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Then, Yi Boqi waved his hand.
"Enter the ruins."
After receiving the order, the generals slowly entered the ruins through the small gate of the formation.
He Boqi did not follow them into the ruins.
This was neither his opportunity nor a place he could enter.
Because he had a clear perception before Qin Feng fully obtained the Great Sun Venerable's inheritance.
If I, a pseudo-chosen one, were to force my way in, I would surely be struck by lightning.
This made him curse inwardly.
Damn it.
