Chapter 97: Camp.

Edited by: Mochiusagi

Looking at the panel, Shen Changqing was happy, but felt also a bit upset.

He felt a bit upset because it didn’t give him True Intent. 

In other words, at present, he was still not in the Grandmaster Realm.

However—

Shen Changqing felt that the True Qi in his dantian was much stronger than before.

In short, despite not having Martial Intent, with his current strength, there should be no one in the Innate Realm who could compete with him.

The only question was: could he compete against a Grandmaster?

“Grandmasters are distinct from their True Intent, which means that their power is on the spiritual level.”

“However, if I don’t count the spiritual level, I may not necessarily be that far off compared to them in body and True Qi.”

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

He was very aware of his current situation. 

In the Martial Arts World, the vast majority of people mainly focused on Internal Martial Arts.

External Martial Arts were only used to lay the foundation during the Body Forging Realm.

After reaching the Qi Circulation Realm, it would be the time to focus on True Qi.

Apart from that, in order to achieve success in External Martial Arts, it takes a lot of time, and the amount of resources needed would be high. 

The level achieved in External Martial Arts was also not comparable with the True Qi at that level.

As such, there were very few people who painstakingly Cultivated External Martial Arts.

With just the Level 7 [Impregnable Golden Body], Shen Changqing was confident that not many would be able to compare with him in terms of physique.

In this case, the gap between him and a Grandmaster was based on True Intent.

“True Intent…”

Shen Changqing softly muttered.

Even though he heard Jiang Fu talk about it, he still didn’t have many clues on how to comprehend True Intent. 

The only way he could do so at the moment was getting to Level 5 of the [Hundred Battles Sword Technique].

However, his comprehension of the [Hundred Battles Sword Technique] was only around Level 3, let alone being far away from Level 5.

“Killing Value!”

“I need more Killing Value now—”

Abandoning the idea of thinking about useless thoughts, Shen Changqing focused on what he needed to do right now.

Not having True Intent did not mean that he would always be stuck in the Innate Realm.

The so-called Realms were just a manifestation of strength.

In other words, if his True Qi was so powerful that he could kill a Grandmaster with one punch, then who would dare to say that he’s still in the Innate Realm?

“To put it bluntly, the division of realms is just a way of distinguishing between levels in power. What is really important is the overall strength of an individual.”

Shen Changqing knew it in his heart.

If he couldn’t comprehend True Intent, he would just increase the [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi] and the [Impregnable Golden Body].

If the Level 15 [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi] cannot compete with the Grandmaster Realm, then what about Level 25? Wouldn’t he be able to kill a Grandmaster with just one punch?

“It is very likely that there are still other monsters, but since Hongyi retreated, even if there are other monsters, there is a high probability that the others will also retreat.”

“At present, I can only wait for the Heavenly Inspection Guard to deliver the news.”

Shen Changqing cleared his mind and didn’t overthink.

——

Outside the East side of Jin City.

There was a wide open space where a camp was stationed. Many soldiers could be seen patrolling in and out of it.

This was the camp of the Black Tiger Army.

Due to the geographical location of the Great Wilderness Province, almost every city and place would have a large army stationed outside.

Currently, it was nightfall and the torches dispelled the darkness in the camp.

In the central army tent, a big, strong man, clad in iron armor was sitting on a chair above a stone platform. Below him were two people sitting in a lower position.

One was Zhong Chi and the other was Nie Xu.

The difference was that Zhong Chi did not appear the same as when he was in Tianyi Lou. Instead, he changed his appearance and pretended to be a young scholar.

At this time, the atmosphere in the tent was very solemn.

Zhong Chi said: “The Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion is the stronghold of the Eternal Life Alliance. There is an expert from the Demon Suppression Division division, who went deep into the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion today, and fought against the monster there. He also learned that everyone in the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion is a Corpse Puppet.”

“The monster is not weak and the purpose of the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion’s existence is to collect the Life Essence of people, so that the monster can break through to the Grandmaster Realm.”

After Zhong Chi finished speaking, Nie Xu’s Express became one of fury: “Those damned Eternal Life Alliance demons! They dare to do such a trick under the eyes of this Official? Needless to say, the cases of the missing people must also be caused by the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion. F_CK!”

“If it weren’t for the fact that the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion was already destroyed, this Official would have led my troops there!”

He was really angry.

But it was natural, as this happened right under his nose. The peaceful Jin City actually hid such a thing!

Nie Xu then looked at Zhong Chi.

“Lord Zhong, did you already know the details of the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion, but didn’t tell me!?”

He showed his dissatisfaction.

If the Heavenly Inspection Guard knew about the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion and didn’t communicate with the Government, it was simply intentionally keeping the Government in the dark!

Thinking of this, Nie Xu became a little impatient.

Facing the questioning, Zhong Chi was calm and he unhurriedly replied: “Governor Nie, please don’t be angry. The Heavenly Inspection Guard was not sure that the Eternal Life Alliance was indeed behind the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion.”

“It’s only this time when Lord Shen went deep into Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion, that he happened to find this problem.”

“Besides, it is not advisable to publicize the Eternal Life Alliance’s stronghold. If the news is leaked, it will not only make the people panic, but it will also make the demons vigilant.”

“It was just that I didn’t expect for the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion to tear off their facade so quickly…”

For Zhong Chi’s explanation, Nie Xu was not very satisfied. He snorted heavily, but didn’t ask any more questions.

Zhong Chi was not the same as Shen Changqing, who’s a Slayer, and so Nie Xu must be polite to the latter.

Although the Heavenly Inspection Guard was affiliated with the Demon Suppression Division, it was still a long way off compared to Slayers.

As the Governor of a city, his status was not much lower than that of a Guard in the Heavenly Inspection Guard, so he naturally didn’t need to be too polite.

While the two were arguing, the person sitting above spoke at this time. His voice showed majesty.

“The two lords don’t need to quarrel. The matter has already come to this point, and it is useless to say so much now. What we have to do is to find a way to solve this problem.”

Hearing this, Zhong Chi nodded: “General Chu is right.”

“Lord Zhong, the Heavenly Inspection Guard is the most powerful intelligence agency of the Demon Suppression Division. Do you happen to understand the specific actions of the Eternal Life Alliance and their purpose behind it?”

Chu Ding asked in a deep voice.

Zhong Chi pondered for a while, then cupped his hands and replied: “The Heavenly Inspection Guard is passing the news back now. I believe that it will not be long before the other branches will send some corresponding news.”

“In my opinion, the matter of Jin City may be not the only one.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Chu Ding raised his brows and his eyes became solemn.

Feeling his gaze, Zhong Chi suddenly felt some pressure, but he remained calm.

“The geographical location of Jin City is not very important. If the Eternal Life Alliance just started their operation in Jin City, they will be suppressed by the Demon Suppression Division immediately before they manage to cause a big movement. Besides, the Black Tiger Army is also stationed outside Jin City.”

“If they want to disrupt the situation in Jin City, then the Eternal Life Alliance will definitely have other backers. These backers would need the cooperation of other places.”

“Currently, there is not much information, so I can’t draw any conclusions. There are too many variables.”

“Lord Zhong is right.”

Chu Ding nodded.

At this time, Nie Xu suddenly said: “Say, do you think there is any relationship between the Eternal Life Alliance and the barbarians?”

“Barbarians!”

Chu Ding and Zhong Chi both instinctively frowned.

Especially Chu Ding. He had a fierce aura emitting from his body. He seemed to harbor extreme hate towards the barbarians.

“It’s not winter yet, so it shouldn’t have much to do with the barbarians. The armies guarding the borders of the province also haven’t noticed any changes.”

“If the barbarians wanted to attack, it would be impossible for there to be no movement.”

After suppressing his anger, Chu Ding shook his head calmly.

The barbarians would invade the Great Wilderness Province Mansion every year, with the aim of fighting the autumn wind and looting enough supplies to survive the winter.

Sometimes, in order to swipe enough resources, the barbarians would even go deeper into the mansion.

But, every time they did this, the barbarians suffered heavy losses.

Although some materials were looted and returned, more barbarians would be buried on the land of Great Qin.

Speaking of loss, it’s quite a bit like killing eight hundred enemies and losing one thousand soldiers.

Since this was the case, the barbarians stopped and only attacked at a certain time of the year. 

""

When the barbarians attack every year, most of the attacks were in a season that was approaching winter. It’s currently still not yet autumn and especially far from winter.

Nie Xu nodded and smiled: “This Official just guessed. After all, the location of the Great Wilderness Province is quite precarious. The Eternal Life Alliance wouldn’t be causing trouble here without any reason, which made me think of the barbarians.”

Speaking here, his expression became solemn.

“Let’s not talk about other things for now. Yesterday, the Zhou Family in Jin City was destroyed, and today there is a monster from the Eternal Life Alliance. It is difficult to maintain order in the city with just the manpower of the Government Office.”

“In order to avoid causing panic among the people and also to avoid any further differences, I hope that General Chu can take action, sending troops into the city to help the Government stabilize the situation.”

After he finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Chu Ding.

Chu Ding pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.

“Alright!”
