Chapter 298: Gathering Martial Arts

be suspicious of such a person."My current strength doesn't need to be overly concerned about the reaction from the imperial court. If I can take another step forward and break through the barrier of...As soon as it was barely light, someone knocked urgently at his door.

"Where is Mr. Shen"

When Shen Changqing opened the door, he saw a soldier with an anxious expression standing at the entrance.

What's the matter

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“The Emperor has passed away!”

The master bedroom inside the main house.

Yan Jing and others have all gathered there.

When Shen Changqing arrived, several faces strained to form a smile.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Shen Zhen shou came."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Hmm."

Shen Changqing nodded, his gaze turned to the location of the bed, where a person lay there in their clothes.

He walked in.

Then he saw Gu Xuanji lying there with his eyes closed and no blood on his face. His expression was somewhat peaceful.

The soul tentatively descended, but it could not feel the slightest hint of life.

Is he really dead

>

Shen Changqing's heart skipped a beat.

Under his divine sense, there was not a trace of life. He couldn't help but wonder if the other party had truly died.

On second thought, this possibility is not very likely.

By the time one reaches the realm of Gu Xuanji, foreseeing their own life and death is not a difficult matter.

Since the other party said that they can live for another month or so, then they definitely can live for another month or so.

And.

Even in the Heavenly Gate Pass, no one strong enough could attack this Qin Emperor.

Don't talk about others.

Even Shen Changqing himself wouldn't have been confident in assassinating the other party silently.

That's it.

Gu Xuanji most likely faked his death.

Thinking about this, he also felt relieved.

If even one's own self can't keep a secret about feigning death, how could they possibly hide it from the Demon Saint

"Now that everyone is here, Your Majesty has suddenly passed away. What are your plans for dealing with this"

Yan Jing took a deep breath, looked at everyone present, and spoke in a low voice.

Everyone inside.

His position in the court was considered the highest.

The Great General of Qin, by nature, already held a powerful position.

Although Shen Changqing and Dongfang Zhao's positions were not low, as they belonged to the Zhen Mo Si, there was still some difference.

That said.

Li Shou looked grave: "Your Majesty is a saintly emperor of our nation. If he were to pass away, we should follow the customary practices and handle it with utmost decorum! We absolutely cannot lose face!"

"No, I don't think this should be a big production, at least not now."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Wei Yang shook his head in disagreement.

Li Shou's face darkened with anger: "General Wei, what do you mean by this Dare you disrespect His Majesty just after his passing"

"Grandfather Li, please do not be angry. I did not mean it this way."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Wei Yang's expression remained unchanged.

The demon saint who invaded the great Qin a hundred years ago has been reborn in the Zhou dynasty. The reason the demon saint did not dare to invade the great Qin was because Your Majesty was there to protect it.

Now that Your Majesty has passed away, if word gets out, it will surely reach the ears of demons and evil spirits.

By that time, the Demon Saint will surely attack. We don't have the strength to resist a Demon Saint.

The Demon Saint invades.

>

The capture of Tianmen Pass is undoubtedly inevitable.

Once Tiānmén Pass is breached, Luoyang Prefecture and even the entire Qin Dynasty could fall.

In the past.

Weiyang's fear of the Demon Saint still remained in past rumors.

When he saw the Zhou Dynasty being indirectly destroyed by their hands, he finally understood just how terrifying the methods of the Demon Saint truly were.

If a demonic saint truly becomes unstoppable, then the Qin Dynasty will be in danger.

"General Wei is right, the Demonic Saint is a potential threat. If news of Your Majesty's passing were to spread, the Demonic Saint could very well attack Heavenly Gate Pass."

Therefore, I suggest that we keep the Emperor's passing a secret for now. We should secretly return his remains to the capital and wait until after the new emperor takes the throne before making other plans.

The new emperor ascended the throne.

At least it can stabilize people's hearts.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Though the Crown Prince is currently presiding over government affairs, the sudden passing of Emperor Guguxuan will inevitably cause upheaval once news spreads.

That's all.

Yan Jing looked at Shen Changqing and Dongfang Zhao.

"What do you two think"

“The General’s concerns are not without reason, and I have no objection.”

Shen Changqing shook his head.

Although Gu Xuanji's death was faked, he had to play his part convincingly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Otherwise, the demon clan might not have fallen for it.

On the other side.

Eastern Emperor also nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Li Shou was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't say anything more.

Yan Jing continued, "Right now, only a few people know about His Majesty's passing. I have ordered everyone else to keep it a secret. If this news spreads, it will be a capital offense, and we will not show leniency."

"Good."

Wei Yang nodded.

Actually, the most reasonable thing to do is silence all those other people who know things clearly.

But if we did that, it would be rather cold-blooded.

That should about do it for the gag order.

This news wasn't meant to be kept secret forever, it was just delayed for a while until the new emperor ascended to the throne, then it would spread more easily.

After making a decision.

Yann Jing rang Li Shou to stay, and he went with Wei Yang to handle the next steps.

Shen Changqing and Dongfang Zhao, on the other hand, had nothing to do.

Leave there.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Why don't you come sit with me instead of guarding the East"

"That's fine."

Inside the dwelling.

Two people sat face to face.

Shen Changqing went straight to the point: "Your Majesty's feigned death this time, what are Lord Zhen's plans next If it's truly kept secret, I'm afraid the news might not spread."

Even secrets need to be kept in moderation.

The message is going to get out, whether we like it or not.

"Shen Zhenzhun really thought that after the star chart was set up, there would be no spies from the Eternal Alliance within the Qin territory"

Dongfang Zhao raised his teacup and took a small sip.

"Some people may turn to demons, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will become demon-kind. The Eternal Alliance also has formal members and peripheral members."

Some peripheral members, who mainly focus on gathering intelligence, appear to be like humans on the surface, but their hearts have already betrayed humanity.

I can be certain that inside Tianmen Pass right now, there are members of the Eternal Life Alliance who have been keeping a close watch on this place.

As soon as the Emperor appears for a few days, the news will reach the ears of demons.

The demons' creation of the Everlasting Alliance wasn't simply about dividing humanity.

Dongfang Zhao has dealt with the Eternal Alliance many times and knows quite a bit about them.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing just came to a sudden realization.

I've fallen into a trap.

This is a continuation of the previous response.

He thought that all the people in the Eternal Alliance were demons.

Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem likely at all.

There are naturally non-demon members among those who have become demons.

Now that the celestial chart is set, it can only monitor demons and evil spirits. Those who betray from within, though they are still human in essence, have no monitoring effect.

“If the Demon Saint attacks, Your Majesty, are you truly confident”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Your Majesty, since you are able to make this decision, you must have your own reasons. I cannot give you an answer on this matter."

Oriental Jo swayed his head.

Having seen this.

Shen Changqing no longer asked about this matter.

Let's talk about something else.

"I have something, and I want to ask Lord Zhen for help."

"What's up"

"I want some sword techniques at the Grandmaster level. If there aren't enough Grandmaster-level techniques, then techniques at the Xiantian level are fine too."

Shen Changqing pondered for a moment, then said.

Knife skills

Then, Dongfang Zhao's expression flickered before breaking into a light smile.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Your swordsmanship is not a problem. The Lu'an Prefecture Demon Suppression Division stores many martial arts, I believe it can satisfy you. But I don't know how many Grandmaster sword techniques Shen Zhenhou wants"

>

"Sixty-four doors."

"Six...how many"

Dongfang Zhaoxian almost thought he had heard wrong.

When he saw Shen Changqing's serious expression, he realized he hadn't misheard and the other party wasn't joking.

Immediately.

Dongfang Zhao's face contorted with a wry smile: "Sixty-four styles of swordsmanship from the masters You really are putting me in a tough spot. While the Demon Suppression Division boasts many master martial arts, if we're talking purely about sword techniques, there's simply no way to gather sixty-four styles."

Don't talk about sixty-four arts, even having ten or twenty would be considered a deep foundation for the Demonic Suppression Division.

If it were other top-ranked sects, even those renowned for their swordsmanship, the most accomplished swordsmen within the sect would only possess one or two ultimate sword techniques at most.

That's it.

...are still extremely precious.

Like that opponent, demanding sixty-four master sword techniques all at once... unless he gathered every martial arts scripture in the world, including those from Daliang and Dayue, it would be impossible.

This is the answer.

It was exactly as Shen Changqing had expected.

>

“If the master’s swordsmanship is not enough, the innate swordsmanship will do. As long as there are enough of them and they are fast enough, I hope to collect all martial arts within a few days.”

"May I ask, what do you need so many sword techniques for"

The Eastern Emperor’s expression was strange.

Please provide the content you would like me to translate. I'm ready!

When one reaches this level, the master swordsman's techniques should be of no use.

It's pointless to collect so many master sword techniques.

Shen Changqing said: "I've been creating a powerful martial art recently, so I need to study other martial arts and draw inspiration from them to accelerate my progress."

Even if the Demon Saint really attacked, as long as we can create martial arts, we can gain more depth.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

>The Eastern Emperor nodded in understanding.

If you are creating martial arts, then it is necessary to study other martial arts.

He also didn't have any doubts.

Given their level of mastery, the existing martial arts in the world have little effect. The only true path is to create their own unique martial art.

As soon as I thought of this.

>

The Eastern Emperor nodded slightly.

“If we’re talking about innate cultivation, then there’s no problem. At most three days, I can have the Demon Suppression Division bring all the martial arts here.”

"Well then, I'll leave this to you."

Shen Changqing's face was filled with gratitude.

Although he is the guardian of Nanyou Prefecture, he has no involvement with Lu'an Prefecture. If Dongfang Zhao is willing to issue an order, it would be much simpler.

After some more casual conversation, the other person got up and left.

In the room.

Shen Changqing looked at the kill value on the panel, his heart beating a little faster.

More than 8,000 kill values.

According to his calculations, there was a high probability that he could merge together a supernatural power that was even more powerful than the Annihilating Devil's Extinction Finger.

It's not that Zhūxié Jìmì is bad.

Instead of sparring with the weaker opponents, Shen Changqing discovered another drawback of the Zhuxie Jiejuezhi after fighting against too many powerful enemies.

That is to say, even though divine powers are strong, they have not yet reached the point where they can directly defeat their enemies.

Therefore.

He now needs a divine skill, one even more powerful than the Annihilation Finger.

His own soul was nurtured based on the essence of a hundred battles. Shen Changqing believed that if he obtained a powerful swordsmanship supernatural power, it would definitely unleash extraordinary strength.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

By then.

His foundation will only become stronger.

ps: please if they had been pardoned. That's it.The war that was supposed to eradicate the entire clan ended in this anticlimactic way.Although for other watching powers, this battle wasn't disappointing. To be...
