Following the incident involving Song Chai Xin.
Divine Capital, Martial Temple, Sacrificial Wine Mansion.
Ge Xiu furrowed his brows and invited three Great Powers to preside over the matter, two of whom were considered pillars from Baoping State.
Pei Nanbei, the Master of Baoping State, ranked among the Great Zhao’s third-grade Governors.
Ye Cang, Baoping State’s Demon Hunter General, was a martial arts virtuoso, stepping into the fourth phase.
Even if it was just a wisp of Divine Thought, manifested as an illusion.
Their official robes and demon-hunting attire seed to harbor the true essence of dragons and tigers, making them as imposing as towering mountains, leaving others breathless.
anwhile, the Dragon-slaying Marquis of Great Zhao Divine Capital strode out from the Twelve Districts, carrying overwhelming pressure, walking like a dragon and stepping like a tiger, entering this Sacrificial Wine Mansion with a fiery pace.
Almost as soon as he entered, he scanned the surroundings with open eyes.
He saw the tall figure of Pei Nanbei, Master of Baoping State, wearing a mask, and the imposingly spirited, sharp-eyed Demon Hunter General, Ye Cang.
Both looked extrely young because they had both surpassed the life-and-death limit of a hundred years that common people faced, having slain the Red Dragon and tad the White Tiger, making them formidable figures among martial artists.
"Has the Martial Temple produced Flood Dragon Blood from the Jing River Dragon Court?"
"Since Lord Ge is the Martial Temple Sacrificial Officer, why the need to make such a fuss by inviting the pillars of Baoping State? You could have handled it yourself, couldn’t you?"
This Dragon-slaying Marquis’ physique seed to swell with muscle and skin, with each step causing the sound of wind and thunder to roar within his shell, likely due to a Secret Technique.
It is said that he once slew two beings evolving towards True Dragon, bathed in Dragon Blood, and practiced the thod inherited from the Immortal School: the "Dragon Blood Marrow Cleansing and Pill Casting thod," reforging his Primordial Pill, elevating his foundation significantly, and rendering his cultivation unfathomable.
He stood against the two Great Powers of Baoping State without losing the slightest edge.
"Indeed, my thoughts align with Dragon-slaying Marquis; I was prepared to detain that Half-Demon, but halfway through, the will of the Martial Temple intervened, hence I halted waiting for it to close before interrogating."
"Nevertheless, as the leader entering the Martial Temple, occurring once every five years, with only two from Baoping State chosen this ti, how to adjudicate such a figure requires the opinions of the two Baoping State dignitaries."
"Therefore, I invited the Dragon-slaying Marquis for a three-party trial, a token show of witnessing the proceedings, never expecting the lord to co personally."
Ge Xiu watched as Dragon-slaying Marquis walked four or five steps, sat firmly against the chair back, operating Profound Skills, relentlessly cultivating, sowhat surprised, then seriously looked at the Master of Baoping State and the Demon Hunter General.
"Xiang Zhulu, Demon Hunter Envoy from Wutong Prefecture’s Demon Hunting Departnt, once discussed this matter with ."
"Song Chai Xin, slayer of demons and executioner of beasts, bearing the Demon Hunting Robe, eliminated two pure-blood young Flood Dragons of the Patriarch Line, and in the mountain gate of a ’noble family,’ severed a piece of Flood Dragon tail from the biological father of a Third-Step Primordial Pill."
"He belongs to our Demon Hunting Departnt; he will surely walk the right path in the future. Regarding this, I will handle it, so Sacrificial Officer Ge and Dragon-slaying Marquis need not worry."
"At worst, follow past rules, sign a contract guaranteeing no involvent with demons in this lifeti, otherwise, the Great Zhao Governnt Office and Demon Hunting Departnt will denounce him together."
The Demon Hunter General directly oversees the Demon Hunter Envoy of Wutong Prefecture.
Ye Cang was already aware of Song Chai Xin, the Half-Demon leader, through Xiang Zhulu’s reports.
Therefore, hearing Ge Xiu’s words, he didn’t mind much, naturally wanting to provide assurance for subordinates down the hierarchy belonging to the sa system.
"As the Master of Baoping State, I have dealings with the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall."
"Yang Xiu, from Baiyujing’s city tower, recently accepted a nad disciple called ’Song Chai Xin.’
Pei Nanbei, wearing a mask, spoke in a clear and lively voice, clearly revealing her female form.
The seated individuals dared not underestimate this figure who sat overseeing the north and south, governing the demon-riddled Baoping State without causing major chaos.
Her words carried significant weight.
As soon as she spoke, her words struck like a hamr, causing the Dragon-slaying Marquis to nod:
"With guarantees from the Demon Hunting Departnt and Demon-Suppressing Great Wall, what is there not to trust? Can a Half-Demon entering the Martial Temple truly earn recognition from dukes and marquises?"
"Sacrificial Officer Ge, follow their guidance."
"I will return ho to teach the newly entered lass in my family how to temper her Martial Dao, so I’ll take my leave!"
Laughing heartily, he disregarded the matter at hand, took bold strides to depart.
Dragon-slaying Marquis enjoys traveling Jianghu, searching for Flood Dragons and True Dragons to use their blood for cultivation enhancent.
A year ago, he coincidentally encountered Flood Dragons causing chaos in Tongye State, casually defeated them, saving the legitimate ’Jade Pool’ from near extinction, later joyously marrying the Young Master of the sect.
Middle-aged zest, vigorous as dragon and tiger, making him a prominent rising talent among Great Zhao’s youth, reckless yet without major fault, favored by major figures in Lingxiao Pavilion.
Ge Xiu, seeing the three unified opinions, silently exhaled a sigh of relief.
In terms of official rank and martial dao, he lagged slightly behind these three.
Third and fourth grades, though just a word apart, held a gap only he knew the magnitude of.
Perhaps, it might be a lifelong chasm unable to cross.
If sothing went wrong, a third-grade Governor or a ennobled figure in Lingxiao Pavilion could turn the tide, taking a fall to trade rit for punishnt.
But if it were him, he’d likely face imprisonnt first, followed by a trial by the Three Judicial Departnts to clear his na...
The brat nad Song Chai Xin actually caught the attention of Pei Nanbei and Ye Cang.
Although he entered the Martial Temple as the leader, he quickly drew the attention of the powerful figures, and perhaps he might beco a significant figure in Baoping State in the future.
Just pretend you didn’t see it,
After all, if sothing happens, there are two major figures in Baoping State to take responsibility. What does it have to do with him, the Martial Temple Sacrificial Officer?
However, plans never keep up with changes.
The Martial Temple suddenly emitted a vast and grand aura of demon-hunting and demon-purging, fleeting.
Called the four seated people to simultaneously rise, surprised and uncertain.
"This is..."
"Soone has inherited the legacy of Great Zhao’s seven ’Wang’ figures?"
"But there shouldn’t be any descendants from them in this session."
Their eyes were like bright gold, instantly piercing the walls to look at the fleeting grand shadow of the Martial Temple.
When they saw that most unlikely figure...
Even Pei Nanbei with a mask and in a high position.
Couldn’t help but be startled by the sudden change, causing her divine thought to tremble, then slightly raised her head, revealing a slender neck under the mask.
"Sacrificial Officer Ge."
She suddenly spoke.
"Open the Sacrificial Wine Order, show the scene of the Martial Temple, see which Qilinzi from this session it is?"
With Pei Nanbei’s reminder, Ge Xiu returned to his senses, his heart was also surging, hurriedly took out the Sacrificial Wine Order wanting to communicate with the Martial Temple, anwhile thinking:
"Could it be Wang Xuanyi from Taian District or Lu Miaomiao from Changle District?"
"If it’s those two, they really struck gold, a strand of divine thought from the Great Demon Hunter Master, although the legacy of all the Great Sages left in the Martial Temple is extrely basic in techniques, it’s hard to resist the symbolic significance, placed here!"
"Great Zhao truly belonging to the Empress’s direct lineage, unwaveringly breaking the ’Agreent of the Wei River, Oath of the White Horse,’ there has always only been one."
"Now the Empress is in seclusion, if she erges, considering this kindness, rembering that forr Great Demon Hunter Master, how could she not promote them?"
Thinking like this, Ge Xiu borrowed the Sacrificial Wine Order to peek at a corner of the Martial Temple again.
Along with Pei Nanbei, Ye Cang, and the Dragon-slaying Marquis who suddenly stopped at the threshold to observe...
Through a clear image, they saw the Martial Temple wide open, at the end of a hundred statues, standing before the statue of the ’Great Demon Hunter Master’, fingertip touching the sword, eyes closed as if imrsed in profound comprehension of Dao - Song Chai Xin!
This, was like being struck by lightning!
Dood!
It’s actually this child?
But...
How could it be him!
The life of the Great Demon Hunter Master was miserable, though he was once noble in his youth, yet forced to beco a rascal bandit by the chaotic world mixed with humans and demons. Later, he swept the world, alone bearing the Jianghu and Northwest, his sword stained with countless demon blood!
He...
How could he acknowledge a Half-Demon?!
Ge Xiu was greatly shocked, but as he was responsible for this matter, being the Sacrificial Officer, he was the first to react, hurriedly wanted to enter the Martial Temple.
But...
The will of the Martial Temple took back his token, preventing his entry.
Leaving the four stuck outside, staring dryly.
However, now if they don’t enter the Martial Temple, waiting until this batch finishes comprehending...
They will have to take the original Ancient Path of Reception and return!
And then, with the mountains high and the emperor far away, it can only be left to the single-handed governance of the Governor there.
Martial Temple Sacrificial Officer Ge Xiu looked bitterly at the two beside him.
Only to see at this mont,
Ye Cang, the Demon Hunter General, greatly shocked, couldn’t help but glance back at Pei Nanbei.
And the Master of Baoping State in front...
At this mont stared at that figure, stroking his chin, pondering deeply.
