Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 679 As long as Zhang Qingyang doesn't return alive, won't everything be fine?
The chain shadow pierced through his body, and the demon-suppressing runes of the Demon-Locking Tower instantly erupted.

This grandmaster from Yangtian Continent didn't even have time to scream before his entire body, along with his remaining primordial spirit, was crushed and purified by the vast golden light before everyone's eyes, turning into a wisp of green smoke and completely dissipating! His body and soul were annihilated!

The second chain, silent yet carrying a deeper binding force, precisely entangled another terrified and desperate sword cultivator surnamed Chen, who was trying to escape.

The chains tightened, and layers of sealing runes were branded onto his body!
He felt an immense and boundless suppressive force erupt from his soul to his body, his true essence was instantly locked up, and his primordial spirit felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave!
"puff!"

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of his original essence blood, his bones cracked, and his face instantly turned ashen, as if all his energy and spirit had been drained. He was tightly bound by the golden chain and dragged back to the deck of the Zhenhai Ship like a dead fish!

“BOOM! BOOM!!!”

With a single strike, Lu Tianshu annihilated a Grandmaster and captured a sword cultivator at the peak of the Free and Unfettered Realm. The Primordial Chaos Aura on his body, which had been enlightened by Qingyang Marquis and had already risen to the Grandmaster Realm, was no longer suppressed in the slightest!

A magnificent and vast pillar of blood and energy, containing endless laws for suppressing demons, burst forth from the crown of his head and shot straight into the sky!
The beam of light shook the heavens, and the clouds and mist dispersed!

The phantom of the Demon-Sealing Tower floated within it, evolving into countless demon-suppressing runes!
The strange phenomena of subduing tigers and dragons, refining demons and vanquishing evil spread across the vast sea!
The entire Eastern Wei Guanhai City trembled violently at this moment, and countless mortals and even low-level cultivators were terrified and knelt down!
The entire harbor was deathly silent!

Time seemed to freeze.

The fierceness and expectation on Wang Rubing's face had long since turned into frozen terror and blankness. His whole body trembled like a withered leaf in the wind, and he could barely stand.

His guards, the naval soldiers around him, the merchants and common people on the shore...

Everyone who witnessed this scene was completely stunned!
Lu Tianchu's cold, iron-like gaze slowly swept over each of the still-terrified figures below.

His voice lingered for a moment on Wang Rubing's trembling face before ringing out again, colder than ice and harder than metal, carrying an undeniable, domineering authority: "The Marquis of Qingyang said he came only for a transaction! You—"

His tone suddenly changed, carrying a chilling warning that shook the very soul: "Anyone who dares to harbor any wicked thoughts or obstruct this trade is not only opposing my Zhen Tian Si, but also... an enemy of my Great Qin Qingyang Marquis!"

His words were like thunder, but no one dared to utter a single rebuttal.

The devastating suppressive power, the overwhelming and terrifying phenomena, and especially the scene of casually crushing a Grandmaster of Yangtianzhou as if swatting a fly, have been deeply imprinted on the souls of everyone.

Absolutely domineering!

tyrannical!

Do not disobey!
This was the only understanding in the hearts of all the people of Eastern Wei at this moment!
This is also the terrifying aura of the Great Qin Heavenly Division standing at the Guanhai City dock!
Lu Tianchu stood with his hands behind his back at the bow of the Zhenhai ship, like a demon god overlooking an abyss, quietly waiting for the transaction to begin.

The mountains of treasures and spiritual materials piled up on the dock appeared even more dazzling under the residual golden light of the Demon-Sealing Tower, silently proclaiming who the true rule-maker of this sea area was.

The transaction begins now, and no one dares to stop it.

----------------------

The capital of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

The news that the Qin Zhenhai ship had landed in Guanhai City, returned the stranded fishermen, and traded with merchants from the Eastern Wei Dynasty arrived half a day later.

On the main hall, Emperor Yuwen Tuo of Eastern Wei, who was holding the jade pendant for communication, had a changing expression.

"Mr. Cao, Lu Tianshu killed a Grandmaster in one strike. In your opinion, what is his combat strength?"

Taking a deep breath, Yuwen Tuo turned to look at the sword cultivator in a blue martial robe beside him.

Cao Zixun of Taixu Sword Pavilion is a Grandmaster-level sword cultivator.

Taixu Sword Pavilion is a major sword sect in Yangtian Continent. Cao Zixun's cultivation level is the third level of Grandmaster. He defeated Lu Wenzhao of the Seven Profound Sword Sect with three sword strikes.

Among the cultivators from Yangtianzhou who came to support Eastern Wei, Cao Zixun was the strongest in combat.

During this period, Yuwen Tuo also relied heavily on Cao Zixun.

Upon hearing Yuwen Tuo's words, Cao Zixun did not speak, but instead turned to look at the middle-aged Taoist priest beside him.

Guiyu Daoist of the Myriad Tribulations Talisman Sect is no weaker than Cao Zixun in cultivation, and the Myriad Tribulations Talisman Sect is no weaker than the Taixu Sword Pavilion.

Moreover, unlike the Taixu Sword Pavilion, which is a pure sword sect, the Wanjie Talisman Sect has a diverse and extensive cultivation path.

“Lu Tianshu is the head of the Demon Suppression Division among the Twelve Divisions of the Heavenly Suppression Bureau, and his methods of inheritance are extraordinary.” Guiyu Daoist raised his head and spoke loudly.

"However, their cultivation and combat strength are not a threat. As long as we destroy their sea-crossing boat and break their magic array, we can capture them with ease."

Guiyu Daoist's voice was calm, but a hint of arrogance could not be concealed within the calm tone.

The elites of major immortal sects naturally have the right to be arrogant.

Upon hearing that he could be captured with ease, Yuwen Tuo's face lit up with surprise.

"Then—" He was about to speak when he saw the Taoist priest standing bowing beside him wink at him.

After a moment's thought, Yuwen Tuo waved his hand and said, "Then allow me to consider it further and make arrangements."

In the main hall, the people exchanged glances, bowed, and withdrew.

Once outside the hall, Daoist Guiyu turned to look at the main hall behind him, then looked at Cao Zixun.

"Fellow Daoist Cao, what does this emperor mean? I thought he wanted me to destroy the Qin State's Zhenhai Ship."

The Zhenhai Boat is a treasure that even the Wanjie Fuzong (a sect of martial arts) doesn't possess.

He also had the intention of seizing one.

“By the time we get to Guanhai City, the ferry will have already left.” Cao Zixun shook his head. “Merchants are driven by profit, and they will inevitably distribute Qin’s wealth to various places in the shortest possible time.”

"Furthermore, Yu Yangzi is probably eyeing the Qin people's supplies in the East China Sea, which is why he stopped Yuwen Tuo from attacking the sea-crossing boats."

Cao Zixun gave a cold smile: "To be blinded by profit and forget righteousness is truly unwise."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeve, his figure drawing sword light as he left.

Daoist Guiyu also shook his head, his figure transforming into a gentle breeze.

At this moment, in the main hall, Yu Yangzi, the Grand Elder of the Qingyu Danzong, dressed in a gray-blue Taoist robe, bowed.

"Your Majesty, the Eastern Sea is rich in spiritual resources. Let the Qin people search for them there, and Great Wei can reap the benefits. What's wrong with that?"

His words made Yuwen Tuo frown.

Before Yuwen Tuo could speak, Yu Yangzi spoke again: "I know Your Majesty's concerns are that the Qin people's power has deeply penetrated the hearts of the people and shakes the foundation of the Great Wei."

Yu Yangzi smiled slightly: "As long as Zhang Qingyang doesn't return alive, everything will be fine, right?"

"The elders of the Heavenly Pill Sect have arrived. After the pills are tested, we can verify their power and leave Zhang Qingyang in the East Sea."

Yu Yangzi's eyes were deep, and he gently waved his hand down.

Yuwen Tuo's expression shifted, and he nodded slightly.

Yu Yangzi smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and then left the main hall.

Upon reaching the plaza outside the main hall, an elderly man dressed in a gray-black robe approached quietly with a smile on his face.

"Daoist Master, my Zheng Family Trading Company has acquired 30% of the spiritual materials from the Qin people. Once the materials are transported to the secret location and sold on Yangtian Continent, the profit will be at least five times the cost."

"Today, Daoist Master has protected the business path. My Zheng family will contribute 50% of the shares to Daoist Master and Qingyu Danzong."

The old man handed over a jade disc.

Yu Yangzi remained calm as he accepted the jade disc and then handed over a jade talisman.

“When your people go to Yangtianzhou, with this talisman, the alchemy sects on Yangtianzhou can provide some convenience.”

The old man in black robes was overjoyed. He accepted the jade talisman with clasped hands and quietly left.

East China Sea.

Estuary.

A giant floating ship slowly sailed towards the Yuncang River.

Zhenhai Boat.

The black dragon flag of the Qin Dynasty fluttered in the wind.

On the deck, Luo Hongxiu, dressed in red, looked up at the falling sword light.

"Zhao Jinyang of the Nine Yang Sword Sect greets Commander Luo."

"Zhao was ordered by the sect leader to escort the commander to Yuncang City."

"Major merchants from all sides are already waiting."

Before Luo Hongxiu, the swordsman in green robes bowed respectfully.
