Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 345 - 328: Safe and Sound

"Boom!"

Like thunder exploding, an overwhelming force!

"If this world is so dark, what does it matter if we rebel?"

With Zhao Tianyin’s words, the world trembled.

This was the Prince of Zhennan, leading a million-strong army, the Prince of Zhennan!

And the Prince of Zhennan represented not only himself, not only the Zhennan army.

In the Imperial Court, as well as in other military camps throughout Great Qian, there were many significant figures closely related to the Prince of Zhennan.

If the Prince of Zhennan spoke of rebellion, even if the sky did not rebel, it would probably tilt for a while.

Behind Zhao Tianyin stood the soldiers of the Jinyin Army, including Zhao Zhifeng, Guo Ziyi, and others, whose eyes were fierce at this moment, each of them appearing as if they were unafraid of death.

At the same time, Xu Fang, Bai Qiuhe, Mo Kong, Xu Qingyuan, and others had all arrived, standing beside Qin Qing.

The last time was at the Great Qian Martial Institute.

It was a confrontation between Shangguan Yong and the Prince of Zhennan.

But this time, it was a confrontation between the Prince of Zhennan and His Majesty!

Both of these confrontations were sparked by one man — Qin Qing.

This youth from Tianjue City had twice stirred up surges, capable of shaking the entire court and government of Great Qian, all within less than a year’s time.

Needless to say, many people were beginning to admire Qin Qing at this moment.

They included numerous princes, princesses, and high officials of the Imperial Court.

Being able to arouse such an uproar in Great Qian as Qin Qing did, one truly deserved to be considered a character of note.

Most importantly, how old was Qin Qing?

This was indeed a young hero!

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

Among the crowd, a minister suddenly spoke up.

"Your Majesty! Please reconsider!" came the immediate echo from others.

Then —

"Please reconsider!"

Cries of plea were heard one after another.

After all, Qin Qing had achieved commendable military merits, and not the ordinary kind!

Qin Sheng’s expression was very grim, but at this moment, he had to hesitate.

"Father Emperor." Qin De whispered in Qin Sheng’s ear.

After hearing these words, Qin Sheng’s eyes flickered, and eventually — he slowly nodded.

Then, Qin Sheng left without saying a word, turned around, and left.

The palace guards who were previously encircling the area also withdrew one after another.

Qin Sheng chose to back down!

He knew that at this time, he couldn’t go against the will of the people...

When Zhao Tianyin announced Qin Qing’s merits to the whole world, it was already determined that the Great Qian Royal Family could not easily make a move against Qin Qing again.

Mu Hongtu watched Qin Qing somewhat dumbfoundedly.

He had not expected such a scene to unfold.

He had certainly not anticipated that such a minor figure like Qin Qing could stir up such tremendous tumult within Great Qian...

Equally, he had not foreseen that Qin Qing would force the current Emperor to retreat.

Indeed, Mu Hongtu’s heart was filled with no small shock, and he had to admit, this youth who emerged from a minor place like Tianjue City repeatedly impressed him...

But precisely because of this, Mu Hongtu was even more unwilling to see Qin Qing rise.

If Qin Qing rose, it meant that he, Mu Hongtu, was mistaken.

Mu Hongtu did not want to see that he was wrong...

He hoped his choice was correct; after all, when Mu Yunlan betrayed Qin Qing, requesting the dissolution of the marriage contract with the Qin Residence, wasn’t it Mu Hongtu himself who instigated the matter behind the scenes?

Therefore, he wanted to see Qin Qing fall, utterly defeated.

Only then would it prove that his initial decision was right!

"Qin Qing... even if the Emperor withdraws, what of it? The Emperor is simply hindered by his status, not needing to personally deal with you, that’s all."

Mu Hongtu’s cold eyes twinkled: "The Emperor won’t strike at you, but can the head of the Lu Clan spare you?"

Indeed!

Without the Royal Family’s masters or the imperial guards, what then?

Let’s not forget about Lu Tianlong!

Who could stop Lu Tianlong, stop the multitude of powerful members of the Lu Clan?

"Qin Qing, today... you can’t possibly escape unscathed as you once did in Tianjue City!" Mu Yunlan also muttered.

This sentence seemed to be addressed to Qin Qing, but it sounded more like it was meant for himself.

"Qin Qing, come and meet your death!"

Lu Tianlong bellowed, his white hair flying wildly, his eyes fierce and filled with murderous intent.

He took steps towards Qin Qing, and behind him, dozens of powerhouses from the Lu Clan came forward, six Nascent Soul Ancestors and over thirty Golden Core Martial Dao Masters, constituting a terrifying force.

Xu Fang, Bai Qiuhe, Zhao Tianyin, and others also felt an immense pressure bearing down on them.

Although Xu Fang was also at the Nascent Soul Realm,

he had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and there was an obvious gap in strength between him and Lu Tianlong.

No matter how you looked at it, Lu Tianlong had been in the Nascent Soul Realm for some time.

Moreover, within the Lu Clan were two at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and these two, along with Lu Tianlong, could sweep away Xu Fang and the others.

It seemed, apparently—

Qin Qing really had been forced into a deadly impasse.

"Yoyo—"

But just then, a cry of an eagle resonated through the air.

A shadow appeared in the sky, which grew larger and larger, revealing itself to be a gigantic Roc!

"Whoosh!"

The Roc swooped down, and atop it sat the Zhuiri Ancestor in meditation.

As a gust of wind rushed towards them, the Zhuiri Ancestor landed in front of Qin Qing.

"Teacher Qin!"

He gave Qin Qing a deep bow.

Qin Qing nodded slightly.

Meanwhile, everyone else was left with hearts surging, wondering who was this elder that had suddenly appeared. Why was he addressing Qin Qing as Teacher Qin?

Moreover, the aura of this elder seemed profoundly deep.

What was his cultivation realm?

Could it be that he intended to stop all the formidable fighters from the Lu Clan by himself?

"Get out of the way!"

Lu Tianlong roared furiously and stepped forward, aiming a palm strike at the elder.

The Zhuiri Ancestor let out a cold snort and met the attack with his palm.

A thunderous might burst forth from the Zhuiri Ancestor’s hand, and in an instant, thunder roared, and a vast power erupted.

"Boom!"

A loud noise followed.

This was the clash between two Nascent Soul Ancestors.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Lu Tianlong was sent flying.

Yet the Zhuiri Ancestor remained standing in place, without the slightest movement, as streaks of lightning flickered endlessly around him.

"Wow!"

The crowd was astounded, waves of shock rising in their hearts.

This elder managed to block Lu Tianlong.

Furthermore, he did more than just block Lu Tianlong, he even knocked him back.

This was also a Nascent Soul Ancestor! And his strength, his cultivation realm, might very well be above that of Lu Tianlong!

"Zhuiri, it really is you!"

Lu Tianlong watched the Zhuiri Ancestor with a cold gaze.

The last time he had seen the Zhuiri Ancestor was over twenty years ago.

The Zhuiri Ancestor had been lying low in the Northern Borderlands, seldom revealing himself.

But Qian Country was only so big, and reaching the Nascent Soul Realm was to stand at the pinnacle of the country, so it was not surprising for these Nascent Soul Ancestors to have seen each other before.

"Lu Tianlong, I trust you’ve been well!" the Zhuiri Ancestor said indifferently.

The onlookers suddenly understood that this elder and Lu Tianlong knew each other.

Some people who had heard of the Zhuiri Ancestor’s reputation exclaimed in surprise, "So he is the Zhuiri Ancestor, the Guardian Ancestor of Heavenly Lake Palace from the Northern Borderlands!"

"I’ve also heard of him, a master who became famous a long time ago. What is he doing in the Imperial City?"

"The Zhuiri Ancestor has been in the Nascent Soul Realm for many years, his strength surpasses that of the Lu Clan leader!"

The crowd was filled with awe, and their murmurs grew louder.

"Zhuiri, what are you trying to do?" Lu Tianlong glared at the Zhuiri Ancestor, "Today, I am going to kill this Qin Qing. What does that have to do with you?"

The Zhuiri Ancestor coldly responded, "Anyone who wants to kill Teacher Qin must step over my dead body first!"
