NOVEL NEXT Chapter 307: Yin Zhong
The next day, the news of Zhenwu Sect's new Sect Leader Qing Yu establishing his authority by stepping on the Young Heavenly Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain spread across the country. Thanks to a group of guests from various parts of the worldly society, this news became known to the world within a day.
Of course, this wouldn't have happened without some people fanning the flames.
For example, this person...
In the Six Gates, the newly appointed Divine Captor Ning Wuming, wearing a uniform with a Qilin pattern, was discussing this matter with Qin Xihai.
"Brother Ning, your strategy was successful," Qin Xihai said happily.
"Yes, it was successful," Ning Wuming replied, though without much joy, because he knew that as long as Qing Yu remained alive, the so-called strategy could never truly be considered a success.
Qing Yu was an extremely terrifying opponent. As long as he lived, he would always be a great threat to the Six Gates.
"It's just a pity that to execute this plan, Zhang Yuanchu was sent to step on the landmines. Now the relationship between Six Gates and Dragon Tiger Mountain is irreparable," Qin Xihai said regretfully.
Had it not been for Ning Wuming's arrangement, Zhang Yuanchu would not have gone to the Zhenwu Sect so easily to expose Qing Yu's true face.
Zhang Yuanchu's downfall was the result of the cooperation of Qing Yu, Ning Wuming, and Shi Jue. He lost thoroughly and without injustice.
As for why these three did such a thing, Qing Yu and Shi Jue's reasons were well known.
Ning Wuming's reason, however, was rather helpless. It wasn't until the former Divine Captor returned injured that he realized the close relationship between the Daqian Military and the Netherworld Palace. Duke Shenwu Luo Feng, known as the "Daqian War God," was one of the Ten Kings of Netherworld Palace. Among the remaining Nine Kings, at least one or two were also in the military.
And the relationship between the Netherworld Palace and Dragon Tiger Mountain was said to be like water and fire. The secret realm passed down by Dragon Tiger Mountain's ancestors was destroyed by the Netherworld Palace using underhanded means. If not for the current Heavenly Master opening a new secret realm, Dragon Tiger Mountain might have declined.
Not to mention, the night before the Double Ninth Festival, the Ten Kings of Netherworld Palace climbed Dragon Tiger Mountain and took back the Ghost Emperor's Bone.
Such enmity doomed the two sides to a life-and-death struggle. Now, Ning Wuming discovered that Daqian actually had ties with the Netherworld Palace.
What to do? Of course, strike first. Anything that could be exploited was exploited.
So Zhang Yuanchu was the tragedy, unintentionally set up by three people, falling from the clouds into the abyss.
"These great sects still need to cause their own chaos. Once Daqian pacifies the various unrests, they can then take down these lawless people," Ning Wuming muttered.
Originally, the plan was to pacify certain forces while suppressing various unrests. Unfortunately, the Divine Martial Army was intercepted and wiped out, the Divine Captor was seriously injured, leaving only the Four Gentlemen of Six Gates to escape back early. As a result, the Daqian Court had to resort to this less-than-brilliant plan.
"By the way, Brother Ning, Bai Wuren also died in the aftershocks of the battle with the Hidden Mirror Man and others. What about his position, and the Divine Constable position left vacant by your promotion?" Qin Xihai asked.
Speaking of Bai Wuren, he was also unlucky. Initially sent to pacify the Blood Tribulation in Ji Province, it was intended to send him to his death, but he persevered and survived.
But after all his struggles to survive, he died in the attack on the Divine Martial Army battle. And he died under the leaked saber energy of Kong Xuankong.
This spy placed by the Shadow King in the Six Gates finally died at the hands of the Shadow King's men. It was quite ironic.
"Hmm..." Ning Wuming pondered for a while and said, "One vacancy can be filled by Mei Jun. As for the other, let His Majesty decide. We shouldn't have an internal selection to prevent the Shadow King's people from exploiting it."
"Okay."
...
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a Five-Star Character Card: Yin Zhong."
Name: Yin Zhong
Realm: Divinity Realm
Item: Zhu Rong Saber
Martial Arts: "Dragon God Skill," "Zhu Rong's Undying Body," "Water Moon Witchcraft"
Evaluation: A fierce warrior who hasn't slept for five hundred years!
Upon succeeding as Sect Leader of Zhenwu Sect, Qing Yu received a biting compliment and an additional ten thousand Villain Points. This Character Card was won by Qing Yu using those ten thousand Villain Points.
Yin Zhong hails from "Water Moon Cave Heaven," the ultimate BOSS across its two parts. From his white hair and lack of the Netherworld Sword, it appears to be Yin Zhong from the first part.
"For now, let's not mention Dragon God Skill, but this Zhu Rong's Undying Body and Water Moon Witchcraft..."
Qing Yu couldn't help but think of a certain mythical race. The original work hinted that Yin Zhong's martial arts were supposedly a divine skill from a period after the ancient era of the race pursuing the sun.
And after falling into Hell Rock, Yin Zhong further advanced his power, claiming to be Fire God Zhu Rong, which seemed to be related to the name of his martial arts.
"Is it true or false? Only one way to find out. System, I want to challenge Yin Zhong," Qing Yu said directly in his mind.
"Inheritance Space, opening..."
A familiar flash, and Qing Yu found himself on a barren plain.
"Twin bodies united; it seems the system has mapped both of my bodies into the Inheritance Space." Qing Yu felt the vast power within himself and muttered.
"This is better; otherwise, it would really be uncertain if I could kill Yin Zhong."
Although the drama didn't show it clearly, Qing Yu estimated that Yin Zhong's strength should be close to the Supreme level.
Within the Spirit Mirror, a crude space could be considered a Five-star and a half items. Surviving a full-force strike from the Spirit Mirror without dying certainly affirmed his strength.
"Boom—"
In the distance, suddenly, there was a blaze lighting up the sky. An old man in white robes, shrouded in flames, seemed slow but actually moved swiftly. Wherever he stepped, rocks turned into molten lava, emitting a scorching aura.
"The strongest form, the form achieved after cultivating Zhu Rong's body in Hell Rock?" Qing Yu said in confusion, while wielding Ten Directions Destruction. The trigram talisman on it rotated with his mind, and waves surged from the ground, raising a hundred-foot wave.
Using water to attack fire, Ten Directions Strange Move· Earth Water Breaking Army.
The surging waves crashed into the oncoming fiery blaze, steam rising in great clouds, filling the sky.
"Roar—"
From the billowing mist, a giant scarlet dragon roared out, its body seemingly made of flames, boiling with the unending hellfire. From its roaring maw, bursts of fire erupted now and then, appearing fiercely savage.
The Dragon God Skill, the most miraculous martial arts in the original, allowing one to transform into a dragon form, appearing as a Divine Dragon made of Qi Force, truly was mysterious to the extreme.
But now, Qing Yu was not the ordinary person watching dramas in his previous life, naturally able to discern the intricacies of these martial arts.
The Dragon God Skill, similar to the Seven Absolute Desolate, was all about transforming the body into Qi Force, but surpassing the Seven Absolute Desolate in attack power, it was stronger in offensive capabilities than the otherwise lacking Seven Absolute Desolate.
"Roar—"
The roaring Red Dragon collided with the Ten Directions Destruction in front, blazing flames erupted, and fierce fire swept across all directions.
