214 Wangyue City
In the ten thousand ancient races’ camp, because their first clash with the human race had ended in defeat, the morale of the ten thousand ancient races had been greatly reduced. Even the Sages didn’t have much confidence in the war.
“Lord Sheng Xuan, when will we start the holy war in the starry sky?” Supreme Sage Man Niu asked loudly. Beside him sat a one-armed Supreme Sage. It was the Supreme Sage whose arm had been cut off by Qin Chen’s great path chair, Supreme Sage Man Wang.
Sheng Xuan shook his head and thought about the scene he had seen of the humans cheering in the Great Qin’s imperial city. He said in a deep voice, “The human race might have something up their sleeves. Since our morale isn’t high right now, don’t start the holy war yet. Call the Kings and Venerables of the races over and have them attack the human cities with all their might. When the morale is restored, we will take down the human race in one fell swoop.”
“Yes, my lord!” Everyone replied. With that, a large group of experts from the ten thousand ancient races then gathered and prepared to attack the human race’s cities.
In the Northern Castle, a small city called Wangyue City near the Wind Imperial Dynasty was now surrounded by three ancient races and was in a desperate situation.
“City Lord, the ten thousand ancient races are coming in full force this time, but the human race experts haven’t arrived yet. Once they attack, our city will definitely be destroyed and our people will die. There are still many civilians in the city who haven’t evacuated. What should we do?” A general in armor revealed a troubled expression as he discussed with the Wangyue City’s City Lord how to face the enemy.
The Wangyue City’s City Lord also frowned and fell into deep thought. He was very clear about the current situation, but there was no other way except to wait for reinforcements. Therefore, he let out a long sigh and said, “We can only leave it to fate now.”
The general’s face darkened. This was obviously not the answer he wanted. After some hesitation, he spoke again, “City Lord, why don’t we ask the Wind Imperial Dynasty for help? Princess Qingxue loves her people, so she’ll definitely help us.”
“Although the Wind Imperial Dynasty is backed by an ancient imperial clan, they don’t have many strong cultivators to deploy. I’m afraid they can’t come to help. Besides, that ancient imperial clan is neutral, so they won’t let the Wind Imperial Dynasty come to help either,” The City Lord shook his head and snorted. He had heard about the Wind Imperial Dynasty’s situation before. it was almost impossible to count on them.
The general was still unwilling to give up. He spoke again, “City Lord, this concerns the lives of everyone in the city. Why don’t we give it a try? What if the Wind Imperial Dynasty is willing to help?”
After hesitating for a while, the City Lord finally agreed and sent a distress message to the Wind Imperial Dynasty.
At this time in the Taiyi Holy Land, Ling Ran had already received the call for help from Wangyue City. She immediately gathered the inner sect disciples and prepared to head to Wangyue City. The entire Taiyi Holy Land bustled with activity.
In a residence, one of Qin Chen’s clones was cultivating. He was an incarnation of Qin Chen’s consciousness. Although he did not need to cultivate, he still did so diligently every day to hide his identity from others. For this, he had been praised by many elders.
“Senior brother Qin Chen, a sect mission. we’re going to support Wangyue City In Northern Castle,” An inner sect disciple ran in.
Since Qin Chen had defeated the Holy Son candidates of the Taiyi Holy Land, there had been many rumors about him. Some even said that he was the disciple of the Elder King. Since then, the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land had been particularly respectful to him. Some who had entered the sect earlier than him even began to call him senior brother.
Qin Chen nodded and stopped cultivating. He followed the disciple to the teleportation array, attracting the attention of many disciples along the way.
“So he’s the rumored disciple of the Elder King, the useless prince of the Great Qin Dynasty?”
“You still dare to call him a useless prince? Have you forgotten what happened to the other Holy Son candidates?”
“Rumor has it that he has already reached the Venerable realm. Is that true?”
“When I look at him, he seems to be only in the Sancai realm! It’s a world of difference from the Venerable realm!”
“What do you know? Qin Chen is the Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. What’s so strange about him having a technique or treasure to hide his cultivation realm? After all, he easily defeated those Holy Son candidates. Rather, it would be strange if he’s only in the Sancai realm.”
“That’s right, that’s right. He’s definitely hiding his cultivation. It’s possible that he’s the Elder King’s last disciple as the rumors say.”
Listening to the group of people’s discussion, Qin Chen was speechless. He didn’t expect that the last time he was in the limelight, he had stirred up so many rumors. Fortunately, no one suspected that he was the Elder King. Otherwise, it would be troublesome.
“Qin Chen, I broke through to the Wuxing realm not long ago. I hope to have a spar with you!” Seeing Qin Chen’s arrival, Xia Yang took a big step forward and stood beside him, ready to fight.
“I’m here to participate in the mission,” Qin Chen replied indifferently. He didn’t want to be involved in any trouble anymore.
Xia Yang wasn’t angry. Although he had broken through to the Wuxing realm, he still wasn’t confident that he could be Qin Chen’s opponent. The reason why he challenged Qin Chen was that he wanted to know how far he was from the latter.
“I’ll be taking part in the mission as well. I hope to see your true strength in this mission,” He said in a deep voice.
Qin Chen revealed an unfathomable smile and no longer paid attention to him. He went straight to the square to gather and set off with the elder leading the team to Northern Castle’s Wangyue City.
However, just before they set off, Ling Ran’s voice suddenly rang in Qin Chen’s ears, “If you’re really the Elder King’s disciple, don’t embarrass him when you go out. If you’re not, then clarify the rumors to everyone when you come back!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Chen looked at Ling Ran, who was hiding in the void. A smile appeared on his face, and he disappeared from the void divine altar with the rest.
As Ling Ran watched Qin Chen disappear, she walked out of the void. Qin Chen’s smile appeared in her mind, and her gaze became puzzled. She was a Venerable realm cultivator, so how could Qin Chen have discovered her? Could it be that Qin Chen’s cultivation was higher than hers? Was he really a disciple of the Elder King?
However, even if Qin Chen was the disciple of the Elder King, he couldn’t have possibly become a peerless Venerable from nothing in a hundred years. Moreover, she had the Zixia Divine Body. no one below the Sage realm should be able to discover her. Could it be that Qin Chen’s cultivation had already reached the Sage realm?
Ling Ran felt that Qin Chen was full of mysteries. She found it hard to believe that Qin Chen was actually so secretive. This feeling was the same as what she felt from the Elder King. She even had a bold guess in her mind, but she rejected it as soon as it appeared. After all, this guess was too shocking.
…
Northern Castle’s Wangyue City was currently surrounded by three great ancient races, a dozen Venerables, and twenty Kings. As a city with only one King, it was like a fly to a lion. It wasn’t even enough to fill a crack in their appetites.
“We’ve already checked. There’s only one human King in this city. we can attack the city without worry.,” A monkey-like venerable covered in long hair said with a smile. He was ready to attack Wangyue City.
