Chapter 86 A Killing That Started Strong but Ended Weakly

The battle outside the warships was raging.

Although Zhao Qingshi is the strongest person in Fuqin City, her opponents are not ordinary people either.

The battle became intense and prolonged.

Once the situation becomes tense, it means the assassination attempt has failed.

The Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion naturally knew that Yinghai City couldn't possibly send all the city's strongest warriors.

The longer the delay, the more likely the Nascent Soul experts from Sanglan City will arrive.

[Once the powerful figures from Sanglan City arrive, she, the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion, will be considered a traitor.]

But if she were to defect now, she would be a rebel.

Therefore, the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion and Wanzi discussed and decided to launch a sneak attack on Zhao Qingshi's opponent.

After all, Zhao Qingshi is the strongest person in Fuqin City.

Once Zhao Qingshi is freed from the current battle, the entire assassination attempt will be declared a failure.

Wan Zi couldn't completely trust the head of Yixiang Pavilion, but she still agreed to act in a play alongside him.

With her watching over him, the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion naturally couldn't pull any tricks.

With the combined efforts of the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion and Wan Zi, their battle rapidly advanced towards Zhao Qingshi's location.

Zhao Qingshi and his opponent are locked in a fierce battle.

She already knew that her opponent was Cheng Weiji.

Within fifteen minutes, Zhao Qingshi would have received information that Cheng Weiji had been defeated.

At this moment, Zhao Qingshi noticed that the battle between Wan Zi and the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion was drawing closer to them.

You once told Zhao Qingshi that you could very well control the Master of Yixiang Pavilion.

[The fact that they're coming at this time most likely means that the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion and Wanzi have already conspired to betray them.]

However, Zhao Qingshi remained cautious.

Before long, the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion broke free from Wan Zi and headed straight for Zhao Qingshi.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Weiji was overjoyed.

If no one helps him, he will be defeated within half a quarter of an hour.

[To assassinate the imperial princess, failure would mean certain death and the annihilation of one's spirit.]

Moreover, Yixiang Pavilion was sent by Ying Haicheng.

If the assassination attempt on the princess fails, Ying Haicheng will also be implicated.

Therefore, when the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion arrived, Cheng Weiji didn't think much of it, assuming that the Pavilion Master wanted to help him defeat Zhao Qingshi and change the situation.

Just then, the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion suddenly made his move, striking the unsuspecting Cheng Weiji with a palm strike.

Immediately, Cheng Weiji was severely injured.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingshi immediately followed up with a palm strike, sending Cheng Weiji flying. He then swiftly closed in and sealed Cheng Weiji's cultivation.

This unexpected event happened in the blink of an eye.

After defeating Cheng Weiji, Zhao Qingshi threw him onto the armored soldiers remaining on the warship.

Afterwards, Zhao Qingshi scanned the various battle groups with his divine sense, roughly ascertaining the identities of the attacking Nascent Soul cultivators, and then flew towards one of the battle groups on his own.

Only then did the people from the various battle groups realize that Cheng Weiji had been defeated.

At that moment, those who had participated in the attack lost their will to fight, disengaged from the battle, and prepared to flee.

But those targeted by Zhao Qingshi could not escape.

In just about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Zhao Qingshi, working with the Nascent Soul cultivator, captured their opponent alive.

Zhao Qingshi did not pursue those who fled.

This attack started strong but ended weakly.

After a chaotic battle, the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion surrendered, and Cheng Weiji and one of his Nascent Soul subordinates were captured alive. A Nascent Soul expert from Yinghai City was also captured alive.

Now that the battle is over, there are no more worries.

[The powerful figures from Sanglan City are likely already on their way.]

Zhao Qingshi scanned the area with his divine sense but did not find you or the princess.

She immediately understood what was happening.

[Subsequently, Zhao Qingshi arranged for his Nascent Soul subordinates to escort Cheng Weiji and other Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators back to Fuqin City.]

She continued to travel with the fleet.

At this point, the fleet still had three Nascent Soul cultivators remaining, so there shouldn't be any problems.

After everything was arranged, the fleet continued its journey.

Zhao Qingshi, however, walked into the princess's cabin on his own.

Of the entire fleet, only Zhao Qingshi could disregard the restrictions on the princess's cabin.

Sure enough, Zhao Qingshi spotted you giving the princess a massage at a glance.

Since it's not the first time, you naturally have no reservations.

About an hour later, the princess was exhausted.

With your signal, Zhao Qingshi had no choice but to step in.

During this time, Zhao Qingshi briefly outlined the approximate outcome of the battle.

[Listen to Zhao Qingshi's words; she wants to take the captured Golden Core cultivator and the Nascent Soul cultivator who followed Cheng Weiji for her own use.]

As for the Nascent Soul cultivator in Yinghai City and Cheng Weiji, they will naturally be handed over to the powerful figures in Sanglan City.

These two Nascent Soul cultivators can be considered a way of giving an account to the Tang Dynasty's imperial family.

As for the consequences, one can imagine.

[At the same time, Zhao Qingshi also recounted her deal with Qian Wantu.]

Qian Wantu did not send any Nascent Soul level experts to participate in this chaotic battle.

At first, you thought that Qian Wantu's Nascent Soul guards must be hiding somewhere.

[In the end, none of them participated in the war.]

Zhao Qingshi explained that she had deployed all her Nascent Soul cultivators this time, but Fuqin City still needed Nascent Soul cultivators to oversee it.

As for why he trusted Qian Wantu so much, Zhao Qingshi said:

Firstly, she learned a great deal about the Qian Wantu family's merchant guild from the princess.

Qian Wantu intends to vie for the presidency of a chamber of commerce, but he lacks a solid base of support.

Fuqin City could provide him with a platform.

Although Fuqin City isn't a very large city, it's a starting point.

Qian Wantu had previously contacted Zhao Qingshi, but Zhao Qingshi had many doubts about Qian Wantu, and the matter remained unresolved.

This is the first real collaboration.

Secondly, it was also out of necessity.

There are only so many Nascent Soul cultivators available; to be on the safe side, we have to bring them all out.

Moreover, as long as the relationship with the princess remains, there's always a chance to start over.

Zhao Qingshi also said that the power of a chamber of commerce is beyond your imagination.

You've essentially sided with Qian Wantu now.

If Qian Wantou fails to win the election for president, you will likely face his retaliation.

You didn't take it to heart.

[Qian Wandao is a man of great stature; how could he possibly pay attention to someone as insignificant as myself?]

Upon seeing this, Yang Mu couldn't help but sigh: Just as he had guessed, he had truly become the key to Duan Qingshi's victory or defeat.

If Zhao Qingshi hadn't made promises to him back then, and hadn't paid interest upfront to keep him hanging on, he would have been different.

Then the three Nascent Soul cultivators on our side are very likely to be Zhao Qingshi's opponents.

Of course, Yang Mu would never truly pledge allegiance to Yixiang Pavilion.

After all, Cheng Weiji harbored murderous intent towards him.

Moreover, Cheng Weiji was so lustful, and he happened to have several extremely beautiful women around him.

Cheng Weiji might turn against him and try to take Wan Zi and the others for himself.

So, I didn't actually have many choices at the beginning.

However, as time went by, I became quite popular with chickens.

In just a few years, he already had three Nascent Soul stage chicken friends by his side, who had become an important force in Fuqin City.

As for Qian Wandao, that's too far in the future.

With Zhao Qingshi protecting them in Fuqin City, they have nothing to fear.

Yang Mu smacked his lips: What a pity, we still can't video chat!

This episode is definitely something to look forward to!
