Human Clan Defender-Chapter 600 - s The New Emperor Ascends to the Throne, Annihilation Rule (4-in-1, Request for Monthly Tickets)_5

Currently, natural disasters are affecting various places in Great Qin. Although they are not too serious, coupled with the death of Emperor Qin, it has still caused considerable turmoil.

"If Great Zhou were to wage war against Great Qin at this moment, it would be an excellent opportunity," a subject said in a deep voice.

Liang Emperor pondered for a moment. Indeed, Great Qin is now at its most vulnerable amidst the unrest. Especially in the battle against Great Zhou, Great Liang, merely caught in the crossfire of an undeserved disaster, suffered significant losses. It goes without saying that Great Qin, having directly confronted Great Zhou, suffered even more.

At this time, Beiming Wang stepped forward, "Your Majesty, although Gu Xuanji is dead, Great Qin now has Shen Changqing. The Demon Saint of Luo'an Prefecture has fallen; aside from Gu Xuanji's strength, that Great Qin Defender played no small part. Especially later, he killed two Great Demons with just two punches. Such strength, I'm afraid, might already be at the Demon Saint Level. If we are to strike Great Qin, we must first find a way to deal with Shen Changqing. Otherwise, all our plans are just empty talk."

Shen Changqing! Hearing this name, Liang Emperor's eyes turned cold, then a look of regret appeared on his face. I had recognized his extraordinary ability from the start, which is why I wanted Beiming Wang to try to woo him. Unfortunately, in the end, I did not manage to win him over. Such a powerful individual can no longer be tempted simply by fame and wealth. The price that could move him... honestly, Great Liang cannot currently afford it.

Ran An's expression was grave. "Shen Changqing follows the path of a Martial Artist. By slaying the Demon Saint, he must have gained many gifts. In my view, this was Gu Xuanji's strategy to win him over. For Gu Xuanji to expend such effort, essentially handing a Demon Saint over to him, it would be hard for Shen Changqing not to feel a strong connection to Great Qin. The Great General is right; we have no chance of breaching Great Qin without dealing with Shen Changqing."

At this point, he paused, a confident smile appearing on his face. "However—" he declared. "Your servant feels that a breakthrough is imminent. If I can successfully enter the next stage, then even if faced with Shen Changqing, I am absolutely confident that I can deal with him."

Upon hearing this, the hearts of the civil and military officials were all shaken. Another breakthrough! Ran An is already one of the top powerhouses in Great Liang, comparable to a Great Demon. If he could make another breakthrough, he would be on par with a Demon Saint!

Not only were the civil and military officials shaken, but even Liang Emperor's face showed increased pleasure.

"Is what Defender Ran says true?"

If Great Liang had one more Defender Envoy at the Demon Saint Level, it would be as solid as a rock. In this world, apart from Great Qin, who else could contend with Great Liang? By that time, Great Liang would have the opportunity to annex Great Qin.

Ran An clasped his fist. "The battle at the Capital City has yielded me some gains. Combined with my many years of accumulation, it is no exaggeration to say that a breakthrough is imminent. However, breakthroughs at this Realm require a certain serendipity. Thus, I cannot give an accurate estimate of how much time it will take."

"It doesn't matter, Defender Ran. From now on, just focus on your secluded cultivation. If there are no significant affairs at the court assembly, you need not attend." Liang Emperor waved his hand grandly and immediately made his decision.

What Great Liang lacks right now is a powerful being who can awe the world. I, as the Emperor of Great Liang, am also strong. However, this 'strong' is only relative. If it really comes to contending with a Demon Saint, that's only possible within the confines of Great Liang. Once I leave Great Liang and lose the augmentation of its national fortune, I'm not much stronger than a Great Demon. If Ran An can make a breakthrough, then Great Liang will have a turning point.

Liang Emperor's heart swelled with boundless pride. The Demon Saint is dead. The remaining power of the Demon Evil Clan is no longer enough to shake the foundation of Great Liang. Now that the world is fragmented, perhaps it's time for unification. If Great Liang achieves unification during my reign, then even after my death, my legacy will last forever. For thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, my name will be engraved in history! If one cannot pursue eternal life, then one must pursue immortal fame that lasts through the ages!

「Great Qin. Capital City.」 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

In the month that had passed, the Capital City had also experienced constant changes. First was the burial of Gu Xuanji's body, followed by the New Emperor's ascension. Some officials were dismissed, and others were promoted. Such changes truly shook the imperial court.

However, court affairs have little effect on me, Shen Changqing thought. No matter how much turmoil there is, it won't affect me. Instead of wasting time, I should spend more effort thoroughly organizing my Martial Arts.

After leaving the Martial Hall, Shen Changqing returned to his residence.

The Martial Pavilion Scrolls... he mused. Their contents are incredibly comprehensive. Some secrets about the Ancient era, which I thought the Martial Hall would never have recorded, were surprisingly found in some old scrolls. This just goes to show that among the multitude of scrolls in the Martial Hall, perhaps very few people have read them all.

In the room, Shen Changqing sat cross-legged. This seated meditation had already lasted for half a month.

On the outside, were it not for his chest slightly rising and falling, he would appear no different from a dead person.

Creating a Martial Art not inferior to the Divine Heaven Golden Body is no easy task. Even if I base it on the Divine Heaven Golden Body and supplement it with other Martial Arts knowledge, it's still difficult to innovate beyond the existing foundation. However, after succeeding in breaking through to the Immortal Golden Body Realm, my Divine Soul Power grew tremendously, making me much stronger in deduction than before.
