My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 139 The Military Master's Service, the Imperial Family's Celestial Beings

wow~
The strange phenomenon of the river and sea above Qinghui Garden gradually disappeared, and the sky returned to its clear blue color.

Wei Shen's heart clenched suddenly, and he paced back and forth restlessly in the courtyard.

Did he gain some insight from the divine weapon, or did he become the new master of the weapon? No, the divine weapon will only choose a new master after I die, so that's impossible.

What should I do when he comes out? Should I die defiantly, or kneel and beg for mercy? No, I will not yield, even in death. Take my life if you want…

Just as he was lost in thought, a calm voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Wei Shen".

He shuddered, took a deep breath, and adopted a resolute expression, facing Huang Tian who was approaching with the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler in hand, "You want to kill..."

huh~
Before he could speak, Huang Tian tossed a heavy, dark ruler through the air and flew straight toward him.

Instinctively, he raised his hand and grabbed the heavy ruler, leaving Wei Shen completely stunned.

"You, me, this..."

He spoke incoherently, and it took him a while to sort out his thoughts. He asked, bewildered and helpless, "The divine weapon, you don't want it anymore?"

"You don't want it anymore?" Huang Tian asked back.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Wei Shen hurriedly replied, so excited that he almost bowed to Huang Tian.

He reached out and touched the cold, heavy ruler, a feeling of joy at having found what he had lost and relief at escaping a desperate situation filling his heart.

but.

'Something seems off about this ruler.'

The heavy ruler vibrated and hummed, as if trying to break free from his grasp and fly to Huang Tian on the other side. Its eagerness and anticipation were not even bothering to be concealed!
What did he do to the magic ruler?

Wei Shen scratched his head, feeling inexplicably like he was being bullied.

He coughed and hesitated, then asked, "Senior Huang, will you still need to use it in the future?"

The ruler trembled even more violently, emitting a shimmering, precious light, which forced Wei Shen to grip it tighter.

Huang Tian shook his head, "It's useless."

Hearing this, Wei Shen was completely relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. The heavy ruler then let out a mournful whimper, stopped trembling, and lost its precious light, as if it had withered.

Filled with doubt, Wei Shen wanted to ask a few more questions, but Huang Tian waved his hand and said, "The divine weapon is returned to you. If you wish to leave, then leave."

"what?!"

Wei Shen opened his mouth wide and stammered, "Senior, do you mean I can leave?"

There was no answer, only the look of someone staring at a fool. The words had been made so clear, what doubts remained?

Wei Shen was taken aback. "Then, senior, this junior will really be leaving now. Farewell?"

Huang Tian waved his sleeve, and Wei Shen flipped his hand, taking the Juntian Zhenhai Ruler into his body. Then he walked out of the mansion, looking back every few steps.

When he finally walked out of the gate of Qinghui Garden, he was still filled with disbelief.

'I just got out like that? Senior Huang neither left behind any divine weapons nor killed me?'

Standing at the gate of the mansion, looking at the carriages and horses piled up in the alley, he stood there stunned.

"Who is that person? They look so familiar."

"You have such a bad memory, Wei Shen! The master of the Juntian Zhenhai Ruler!"

"Oh, right, I just remembered, he's been under house arrest, cough cough, he's been protected in Qinghui Garden."

"Why did he come out? He looks like he's in a daze. Could it be that the divine weapon was taken away? That shouldn't be the case. Isn't it said that the divine weapon will only choose a new master after the master of the weapon dies? If he doesn't die, there's no use for anyone else to keep the divine weapon."

"I don't know, maybe he just came out for some fresh air, what's so strange about that?"

"..."

Hearing the hushed conversations around him, Wei Shen felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

Before, when I was in Qinghui Garden, no one dared to covet me and the divine weapon, but if I left…

The thought of being surrounded and intercepted by numerous first-grade grandmasters and many second- and third-grade grandmasters sent chills down his spine.

'If the outside world finds out I left with the divine weapon, they definitely won't let me go...'

He abruptly pulled back his raised foot, turned around, smiled at the two guards at the gate, and stepped back into Qinghui Garden.

Huang Tian was still in the front yard when Wei Shen, with a forced smile, walked over and said, looking very embarrassed, "Senior Huang, I wonder if I could... if I could continue to stay in Qinghui Garden..."

"Are you staying because you're afraid those martial arts figures will come back and hunt you down?" Huang Tian said decisively.

Wei Shen coughed twice, his face turning red. "Yes, that's right. This junior wishes to ask for your protection for a while. I will never forget your great kindness!"

Huang Tian pondered for a moment and said, "I won't stay in the manor forever. In a few days, I will set off for the capital."

The final earth-based technique is still in its early stages and needs more inspiration.

He had seen all the martial arts techniques in Kunyun County and the prefecture city. If he wanted to see more, he would have to go elsewhere.

In the vast Qian Kingdom, the place with the most martial arts collection is undoubtedly the imperial capital. The library of the imperial palace is said to contain tens of thousands of books of various martial arts techniques, and these are not ordinary or rudimentary techniques, but rather those with some novelty and highlights.

If you can get a glimpse of it, you will definitely gain a lot.

Wei Shenlian said, "I am willing to follow you to the capital, to lead the horse and put it in the stirrups. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do! I will never go west if you point me east, and I will never chase a chicken if you beat a dog!"

Huang Tian chuckled. It seemed that Wei Shen was truly terrified of being hunted down, otherwise he would never have gone to such lengths.

After thinking for a moment, although his cultivation speed was not as fast as his own and his combat strength was not as strong, he was still a master of weapons. With the help of divine weapons, he had a good chance of reaching the Void Realm, which might come in handy in the future. In addition, he would not stay in this world for too long, so leaving Wei Shen behind as a backup plan before leaving was not a bad idea.

As for whether protecting him for a period of time would attract any danger, such as powerful Celestial Realm experts coming to seize the divine weapon... Huang Tian is only afraid that the opponents are not strong enough right now.

"You may stay by my side for now."

"Thank you so much, senior! Thank you so much, senior!"

Wei Shen was overjoyed to receive Huang Tian's permission.

He now felt that nowhere in the world was safe, and the only safe place was with Huang Tian. Huang Tian didn't care about the Void Realm Divine Weapon at all, and even let him leave without trying to gain anything from him. Huang Tian was a person of excellent character!

Even though the capital city is full of hidden talents and is definitely more dangerous than Kunyun, it's still better than him facing the pursuit of millions of martial artists alone.

"Senior, are you thirsty? Let me get you some water..." Wei Shen, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, came up to him like a lackey.

Huang Tian raised his hand to stop his flattery, "You go and cultivate yourself."

Wei Shen gave an awkward smile, bowed and scraped a few times, and returned to his residence to cultivate. Huang Tian stood there for a moment, then went out of the mansion to find the Fourth Prince Shen Chuan and asked to borrow his Wind Eagle. The latter readily agreed, and they arranged to return to the capital together the day after tomorrow.

After Huang Tian left, Shen Chuan went to the backyard and saw Princess Jingning sitting on a stone bench. He said, "We will return to the capital the day after tomorrow."

Princess Jingning was taken aback. "How could it be so fast?"

In the few days she'd been in the county town, she'd only exchanged fewer than ten words with Huang Tian. Forget about developing feelings; they weren't even close enough. This wasn't because she wasn't proactive; it was simply because Huang Tian had been in seclusion for a month, and she hadn't even been able to see him.

Shen Chuan sighed and recounted Huang Tian's journey to the capital by borrowing a wind eagle. "He was probably going to the imperial library to borrow martial arts techniques. For someone like him, beauty, wine, power, and wealth are nothing; only martial arts are his eternal pursuit."

Princess Jingning gently bit her lip, "I was just being delusional."

Shen Chuan comforted him, "It's alright. Fate is predetermined and cannot be forced. At least we've made some connections with him during this trip, and that's enough."

What else could Princess Jingning say? She could only nod sadly.

On the other side, after agreeing on the trip to the capital, Huang Tian summoned Aunt Qin and said, "I will be going to the capital in a couple of days. I may not be back for several months, or even longer. You can make decisions about the affairs of the mansion. If you encounter any troubles that you cannot resolve, go to the government office to ask for advice from the Vice Commissioner, Bai Zhenfushi, and Xia Hong."

Furthermore, I recall that the manor also contains some elixirs and medicinal herbs from the Fei Hong Sect's treasury?

Aunt Qin replied, "Yes, there are still some left, they're all stored in the storeroom."

"After I leave, you will have control over these things. Heng'er has just started practicing martial arts, so if she needs them, you can give her some to train her."

These things were of no use to Huang Tian. Even if he sold them for gold and silver, it would be meaningless. Worldly possessions were no different from dirt.

Aunt Qin was about to nod when she suddenly felt that these words sounded like she was making her final arrangements, and a worried look appeared on her face. "Young Master, will you be in any danger on this trip to the capital?"

Huang Tian laughed and said, "What danger could I possibly be in? Even if I were a celestial being, I would be helpless against me."

He wouldn't dare say he's the best among the Celestials, but he can't win a fight, and few can catch him if he wants to run away. Besides, it won't be long before he breaks through again and becomes a First-Rank cultivator, at which point he'll be even more secure.

Aunt Qin thought about it and agreed. In the vast Qian Kingdom, her young master was practically at the very top, so what was there to worry about?
After Aunt Qin left, Huang Tian went to an open space in the courtyard and saw Heng'er, who was wearing a green dress and had her hair in two buns, practicing stances under the guidance of a tall woman.

Perhaps because she had been practicing for a long time, her little face was slightly red and her body swayed slightly.

"Keep your breath calm," Huang Tian said at the right moment.

Upon hearing his voice, Heng'er glanced over, her eyes crinkling with delight.

The tall woman on the side, who was also the only female guard in the mansion, greeted Huang Tian and then said to Heng'er, "You must concentrate on practicing your skills."

Heng'er responded softly, adjusted her breathing, lowered her breath, raised her head slightly, and straightened her body a bit, like a swallow perched on a slender branch, swaying gently in the wind but not falling.

Two incense sticks burned in the past.

"Okay, take a break."

Heng'er breathed a sigh of relief, bent down and rubbed her sore legs, raised her little head and said with eyes full of admiration, "Practicing martial arts is so hard, Si Lang, you are so amazing."

Huang Tian smiled and said, "The essence of martial arts lies in perseverance. Although it is difficult, you will gradually get used to it if you persist."

Heng'er nodded, and then chattered on about many things, including her martial arts practice, her studies of poetry and literature, and some interesting stories about the mansion and the city.

Huang Tian didn't interrupt her and listened quietly until a quarter of an hour later when the practice resumed. Only then did Heng'er stop talking and seriously practice the stances.

After watching for a while, Huang Tian left and then wandered around the Zhenwuwei government office and the Wei Xue (military academy), causing quite a stir. Instructor Liu, Instructor Xu, and others greeted him warmly, and the new and old martial arts students in the Wei Xue all looked at him with utmost respect.

As an "outstanding senior," Huang Tian gave the martial arts students a few words of encouragement, which made them all excited, their faces flushed, and they shouted with excitement.

In this way, Huang Tiantong met with many of his old acquaintances. The next day, he calmed his mind and rested.

The next day.

As dawn broke and the sun rose in the east, the clouds dispersed, and two enormous eagles landed on an open space in the backyard of Qinghui Garden.

On the eagle's back stood Shen Chuan, Princess Jingning, Ji Fan, and two others.

“Brother Huang, everything is ready here, and we can leave at any time,” Shen Chuan said.

"Then let's go straight away."

Huang Tian boarded the eagle's back, with Wei Shen, carrying a bundle, following closely behind him, attracting frequent glances from Shen Chuan and the others.

"Young Master, please take care of yourself," Aunt Qin said.

Heng'er was a little reluctant to part, "Have a safe journey, Si Lang."

Huang Tian nodded slightly to the two men and said, "Let's set off."

At a command, Shen Chuan and Ji Fan urged the wind eagle to flap its wings, and a strong wind swirled as it suddenly soared into the sky and flew towards the horizon.

Huang Tian looked down into the distance, and Heng'er, clutching a handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers, waved to him from afar, her eyes red-rimmed.

Hehe~

A fierce wind arose, and the eagle soared into the sky. With a shriek, it created a long white trail and flew swiftly, disappearing from Kunyun County in the blink of an eye.

Huang Tian stopped looking down and sat cross-legged on the eagle's back, quietly regulating his breathing and cultivating, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Wei Shen thought for a moment and followed suit, sitting down and closing his eyes to cultivate.

Princess Jingning originally wanted to try to strike up a conversation with Huang Tian, ​​but seeing this, she had no choice but to remain silent.

They flew in silence for almost ten days. During these ten days, they did not fly without stopping. No matter how strong the eagle's endurance is, it is impossible to go without eating and resting. So the whole journey was roughly a series of flights followed by rest.

"The capital city is just ahead..."

Standing atop the eagle, Wei Shen faced the oncoming gale and looked down at the dark city that stood as high as a mountain, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Although he was the chief of the army, he had experienced countless things in the past few months that ordinary people would never encounter in their entire lives, but he had never seen such a large city before.

Shen Chuan felt a sense of pride as he spoke to Wei Shen about the difficulties in building the capital city, and how high the walls were and how thick the city walls were.

After exchanging a dozen or so words, the eagle flew into the capital city, circling several times in the vast and magnificent sky near the imperial city, attracting the attention of many people below.

"What's that? It looks like an eagle?"

"It's Wind Eagle! It must be the Fourth Prince and the others returning!"

"Quickly, send someone to report to His Majesty!"

"..."

Amidst the murmurs, the eagle descended and landed in a wide open space within the imperial city, kicking up a cloud of dust as it touched down.

At this moment, dozens of distinguished men and women were already standing and waiting.

When the smoke and dust stopped, Huang Tian and the others dismounted from the eagle's back. They saw a middle-aged man with long arms and a narrow waist step forward and greet Huang Tian with a smile.

"Shen Dongming greets Fellow Daoist Huang!"

Shen Dongming, the Celestial Ancestor of the Great Qian Imperial Family, is a powerful figure ranked eighth on the Celestial Ranking!
