Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 193 The martial world is not just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions.

Xuanyuan Tomb, a shadow in Chaoge. 69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼

"Report! Your Majesty! A sun suddenly rose within the Xuanyuan Shrine, and its flames subsequently engulfed the entire city of Jizhou, burning all the elite demon beast cavalry to ashes! Not a single survivor was left!"

"Report! Your Majesty! That sun has been confirmed; it is related to the golden light of divine ascension that shot into the sky some time ago!"

"Report! Your Majesty! Chaoge City has activated its highest level of defense, and all three Dragon Fang-class arsenal ships have entered their strategic deployment positions!"

"..."

Reports reached the Wuji Palace one after another. The elite forces of Chaoge City were all mobilized, and the experts of the hostage group were also deployed. Everyone was on high alert.

However, this did not give Di Xin any sense of security.

On the throne of the Wuji Palace, Di Xin stood silently, dressed in military attire, gently wiping a divine weapon, the axe!

The axe was radiating a crimson aura, its blade gleaming with a blood-red light, and it trembled faintly, as if foreshadowing an impending great battle.

"Reporting back to Your Majesty!" Ji Fa stepped forward. "All troops are in position."

Di Xin glanced at Ji Fa, a hint of melancholy in his eyes. "Do you think we can defeat the gods?"

Ji Fa's eyes burned with fervor, "Your Majesty is invincible; you will surely defeat the gods!"

Faced with Ji Fa's words, Di Xin smiled bitterly, "Ji Province and Chaoge have been fighting for countless years, and neither side can gain the upper hand."

"But now, the other side hasn't even made a move; they just set fire to the entire city of Jizhou, killing every living being in the city!"

"This clearly shows that the divine light is bright and unstoppable, like the vast sun descending from the sky, and all cowardly shadows will instantly melt away under such light."

"This isn't a battle of equal strength; it's a one-sided, dimensionally inferior attack!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Fa encouraged Di Xin, saying, "But Your Majesty, we are different from Ji Province. Ji Province excels in the attack of magical beasts, while we excel in technology! I do not believe that the divine fire of the god Qin Feng can completely destroy our technology."

Di Xin looked at Ji Fa and said, "You've underestimated the Divine Fire. Where the Divine Flame burns, it actually forms its own divine domain. Within the divine domain, the Divine Flame is omnipresent. No matter how powerful your mech is, you can't stop the Divine Fire from burning into your body. As for us in shadow form, facing this Divine Fire is like ice meeting the scorching sun; we'll disappear instantly."

Ji Fa listened to Di Xin's words, "According to Your Majesty's will, our only path is annihilation?"

Di Xin said, "Whether we are destroyed or not depends on Qin Feng's mood. All we can do is die with some dignity."

Ji Fa was about to speak when Di Xin raised the axe in his hand, stood up, and said, "I'll go talk to him. If I don't come back, you should all scatter! Run as many as you can. Xuanyuan Tomb is very large, and even Xuanyuan Shrine may not know every corner of Xuanyuan Tomb."

Seeing Di Xin rise, Ji Fa couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Majesty!!"

Di Xin ignored Ji Fa and took a step forward. His axe flew out in a blood-red arc, and a blood-red dragon steed galloped out from within the blood-red light.

This dragon steed was several meters tall, its entire body ablaze with flames, dragon horns on its head, and claw-like hooves. It was clad in thick, dark iron armor, and the Great Shang Dynasty's Black Bird King's banner hung on its stirrups. Its domineering aura was overwhelming.

With a wave of his long banner, Emperor Xin rode his dragon steed and leaped out, breaking through the steps and leaving Shadow City of Chaoge.

A long rainbow of flames shot into the sky, and the entire city of Chaoge looked up at the King's last silhouette.

At this very moment, eight hundred miles outside of Chaoge City, on the icy snowfield, Qin Feng was walking at a leisurely pace.

Qin Feng now treats these chaotic gales as nothing, and even disregards the vortex of the five elements' energy.

However, Qin Feng walked very slowly, just like an ordinary person, taking one step at a time.

Rather than saying Qin Feng was on his way, it would be more accurate to say that Qin Feng was waiting for someone to come and see him.

Although Qin Feng's power had expanded considerably, his mind remained perfectly calm.

He could raise his sword against Jizhou and even torture Su Quanxiao to death, purely because Jizhou deceived its superiors, plotted against the King of Men, and colluded with the Celestials. Jizhou deserved to die!

Qin Feng couldn't bring himself to raise a butcher's knife against Chaoge City.

To be fair, Shadow City had no real grudges against him. At most, he had tried to deceive Di Xin but failed and was thrown out by Di Xin. That was all.

Furthermore, Di Xin himself was a shadow left behind by the human king. If I were to kill Di Xin's shadow, and the celestial beings got hold of it, they would definitely accuse me of disobeying the human race!

Qin Feng is willing to bear the accusation of killing Su Hu and being ungrateful, and he is not afraid of bearing it. He can even turn the tables and accuse Su Hu of betraying the court.

However, Qin Feng really dared not accept the title of "King of Killers".

Even if it were the shadow of the King of Men, I couldn't do that.

Otherwise, how will Brother Zheng view himself in the future?

Today, you, Qin Feng, dare to kill my shadow, Ying Zheng; tomorrow, you will dare to kill me, Ying Zheng!

You're even cooler than Zhou Gongdan!

Even with his overwhelming power, Duke Zhou didn't dare to kill Wu Geng himself. Instead, he forced Wu Geng to commit suicide.

This shows just how destructive it is to be a killer.

If that's the case, why did Qin Fengqian still go to Chaoge City?

There's no other way! Qin Feng has already promised the ancestor to clean up Xuanyuan Tomb and ensure the absolute peace of Xuanyuan Temple, and then he will return to the Pangu Universe.

If I don't take control of Chaoge City, and when I leave, those bastards from Shadow Chaoge go and besiege Xuanyuan Temple, and the ancestors of Xuanyuan Tomb can't leave Xuanyuan Tomb, then I'll be fighting on two fronts.

Fighting on two fronts is a major taboo in the military!

Now Qin Feng was thinking about one thing: Di Xin, come out and talk to me. Give me a way out, and I'll give you a way out. That'll be enough for us.

As expected, after Qin Feng had traveled several dozen miles, the gray clouds above his head exploded, and a fiery dragon steed galloped out and descended in a mighty procession.

A magnificent warhorse, its wings gleaming, trailed a long crimson rainbow as it landed before Qin Feng, brimming with fighting spirit.

On his warhorse, the majestic Emperor Xin, clad in armor and wielding an axe, gazed at the humans before him with a complex expression.

A while ago, when I saw this kid, I thought he was just a strategist with a silver tongue, like Uncle Bi Gan.

Now it seems that this kid can burn down the entire city of Jizhou with a wave of his hand. Under the flames of the True God, the shadow figures are like ants encountering the sun, dying instantly without any power to resist.

Di Xin reined in his horse and said, "Brave warrior, how have you been?"

Qin Feng laughed, "Your Majesty, you are as dashing as ever!"

Di Xin shook his head and said, "I am just a shadow left behind by Prince Zishou. It's fine for an ordinary shadow to call me 'Great King,' but you are human. The Great King of humans is my true self, not me. I cannot accept your title of 'Great King.'"

Qin Feng laughed and said, "Your Majesty is mistaken. Although the Shadow Body is not very strong, it is still an exclusive creature of Xuanyuan Tomb. In Xuanyuan Tomb, the Shadow Body is like the human physique in the Pangu Universe, or the divine physique of the Yanhuang tribe in the supercontinent period. Different world orders give birth to different physiques. Although the strength is different, the wisdom and values ​​are the same, so they should be treated fairly."

"In my view, all life forms with intelligence should be treated equally, regardless of whether they are demonic, soul, shadow, divine, human, or immortal. All worlds, whether it's the Pangu Supercontinent, the New Universe, the Celestial Realm, the Underworld, the Human Realm, or the Xuanyuan Tomb, are fair and just. There's no need to distinguish between superiors and inferiors, or between different orders!"

"Therefore, in my eyes, Your Majesty is still Your Majesty! The King of the Great Shang! Emperor Xin of the Human Race!"

Di Xin looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated expression.

He was well aware of his own limitations and understood that he could not compare to the real person, so despite his pride, he was insecure inside.

Now, after hearing Qin Feng's words, Di Xin suddenly felt a sense of goodwill towards this guy. His fair attitude towards all living beings was something he had never seen before.

Di Xin dismounted and clasped his hands together towards Qin Feng, saying, "Your words are fair and just, and I admire them."

Qin Feng said, "Your Majesty, over the years, your merits in conquering Jizhou City and rescuing the ancestors of the Xuanyuan Temple have been conveyed to the spirits of the ancestors. They are very moved. Would Your Majesty like to hear how the ancestors evaluate you?"

Di Xin was stunned. I rescued the Xuanyuan Shrine? Is that true?

My fight with Su Hu of Ji Province was purely due to the hatred between my true self and Su Hu.

I never imagined that rescuing the Xuanyuan Temple would be such a great feat!

I even think that Xuanyuan Temple and Su Hu are in cahoots, that Xuanyuan Temple is Su Hu's backer, and that they are working together to get me. I even thought that after defeating Su Hu, I would mock Xuanyuan Temple!

However, no matter what he thought, his actions were indeed fighting against Su Hu.

If we follow Qin Feng's logic, then it seems that I am also serving my ancestors!

This is a great achievement!

Di Xin hastily caught the way out Qin Feng had thrown him, and said, "Di Xin is incompetent, allowing the ancestors of the Xuanyuan Temple to fall into the hands of the traitor Su Hu for so many years. Di Xin is guilty! How can I have the face to listen to the ancestors' evaluation of me!"

Qin Feng hurriedly lifted Di Xin's arms, "Your Majesty, you are mistaken! The matter of Ji Province is the fault of Su Quanxiao, and has little to do with Su Hu. Now Su Hu has been enshrined in the Xuanyuan Temple and has become a follower of Lord Cangjie, enjoying the destiny of the human race!"

Di Xin was stunned for a moment. "Damn it, Su Hu can be enshrined in the Xuanyuan Temple! Is the blame all being shifted to Su Quanxiao?"

Di Xin understood that there must be some shady dealings involved.

A drowning dog is hated by everyone.

Di Xin quickly said, "I knew long ago that Su Quanxiao was a wolf in sheep's clothing, no good at all. He repeatedly sowed discord between me and Uncle Su, and even after entering Xuanyuan Tomb, he dismissed Uncle Su and became the governor of Ji Province himself. It's simply outrageous! Now that Brother Qin has personally disinfected Su Quanxiao on the spot, all his crimes have been wiped out. It's truly gratifying! Hahaha! Let's go to Chaoge City and hold a grand banquet. We won't leave until we're drunk tonight!"

Di Xin pulled Qin Feng along, heading towards Chaoge City.

Qin Feng had absolutely no interest in shadow food; eating it was like eating air.

Besides, who knows what kind of mess the fighting outside is in? Qin Feng was only thinking about going home, so he hurriedly said, "We can talk about the banquet later. I have three things I would like to discuss with Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Di Xin clapped his hands in delight, "Brother Qin is a noble person from the Xuanyuan Temple. Brother Qin's words are the commands of our ancestors. As a descendant of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Di Xin will certainly obey them!"

Qin Feng said, "The first matter is that now that I have destroyed Jizhou, the Xuanyuan Tomb cannot be without a master for even a day. Otherwise, how can we carry out the sacrificial rites and maintain the peace of the Xuanyuan Shrine? Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to move to Jizhou City to guard the Xuanyuan Shrine and prevent the shadow beasts and magical beasts of the Xuanyuan Shrine from harassing it!"

Di Xin said, "No problem, I'll activate the relocation order as soon as I get back, and I'll arrive at the Xuanyuan Shrine soon to protect its peace! But, as you know, Young Master Qin, the Xuanyuan Shrine doesn't accept these offerings..."

"Leave this to me!" Qin Feng said. "I also have a decent business outside, with some people under my command. I will regularly send offerings to Xuanyuan Tomb. You just need to pack up the offerings and present them to Xuanyuan Shrine."

Di Xin nodded, "That's good, that's good!"

Qin Feng said, "The second matter is that the Great Shang Dynasty is thriving, and your current stage can be considered the pinnacle of technology. The Divine Mech is a given. Therefore, I, Qin, hope to join forces with Your Majesty to conduct research on the second iteration of the Divine Mech, and together create an even more powerful second-generation Divine Mech!"

Di Xin's eyes lit up as he enthusiastically grabbed Qin Feng's arm. "Young Master Qin, your words resonate deeply with me! To be honest, science and technology require mutual exchange and competition to produce new results. The Shang Dynasty is currently trapped at Xuanyuan Tomb, and its technological progress has stagnated for many years! With your words, our technology has great hope!"

Qin Feng was overjoyed. "Damn, there's hope for my divine mech technology! As long as you dare to communicate, I dare to learn. Once I learn it, it's all mine! I can develop a divine mech that truly surpasses the Zhou Dynasty's, and even develop the core AI technology to counter the Mechanical Nuwa!"

Qin Feng said, "There's one last thing. Could Your Majesty arrange for some troops to accompany me on my expedition to the outer regions?"

Di Xin asked, "How much do you want?"

Qin Feng pondered, "One fully loaded Dragon Fang-class arsenal ship would suffice!"

Di Xin laughed, "A single Dragon Fang-class ship is unlikely to be combat-ready! How about this, I'll give you a Dragon Fang fleet! What do you think?"

Qin Feng beamed with joy, "Your Majesty is so generous! From this day forward, Your Majesty is my own elder brother, born of the same mother! Elder brother, please accept my bow!"

Di Xin hurriedly said, "No, brother, no! We hit it off immediately, isn't it normal for us to give each other these things? If we work together, we'll have plenty of Dragon Fang arsenal ships in the future, don't you think?"

Qin Feng said, "Yes, yes, what you say is absolutely right, brother. When brothers are of one mind, their strength can break metal!"

Di Xin said, "There's just one thing: this shadow form can't leave Xuanyuan Tomb. What do you think?"

Qin Feng said, "This ancestor will give us a special permit! As long as we get the permit from Xuanyuan Temple, we can leave Xuanyuan Tomb anytime, so there's nothing to worry about! Brother, do you have any enemies you want to kill out there? I'm definitely going to make a big splash this time I come out of the mountains! Just give me a name on the list, and I'll chop off their heads and bring them back as tribute to you!"

Di Xin laughed heartily, "If that's how you put it, brother, I won't stand on ceremony! If you see any of the Zhou king's royal offspring, cut them down and bring them back! I'll reward you handsomely!"

"And some of my former subordinates, like Shen Gongbao and descendants of Grand Tutor Wen, if you see them, please lend them a hand! I won't treat you unfairly!"

Qin Feng patted his chest, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although I can't find Shen Gongbao, I'm quite familiar with his steed, Shen Heibao. We even drank and ate together last time! As for the descendants of Grand Tutor Wen, I'll inquire about them for you..."

"Brother, I am so grateful to you! I, Brother Wang, am thankful beyond measure!"

"Brother, you're being too formal! Your affairs are my affairs, and I, Qin Feng, am truly sincere towards you..."

Qin Feng held Di Xin in his arms, addressing him respectfully as an elder brother, as they entered the grand shrine of the Arad Continent.

At this moment, the few bigwigs who were still holding their ground in the ancestral hall were speechless at Qin Feng's words.

Seeing Qin Feng's enthusiasm, Hanba couldn't help but say, "I thought he was going to destroy Shadow Emperor Xin! Who would have thought he'd become sworn brothers with him!"

Da Yi said, "The shadow of Di Xin cannot be extinguished. If we were to kill him, it would only bring us the infamy of insubordination, which would be tantamount to disrupting order for the human race—a very serious crime!"

"Qin Feng is very clear that this red line cannot be crossed and this bottom line cannot be breached, which is why he did this."

"Moreover, keeping Di Xin in Xuanyuan Tomb can also serve a purpose. Di Xin's current technology is already at the peak of the Shang Dynasty's technology. Keeping Di Xin will only benefit Xuanyuan Tomb and Qin Feng, and will not cause any harm."

Yinglong said, "The most mysterious thing is that Di Xin's identity as the Shadow King will have a huge symbolic effect on the human race in the future. A living human king, no matter how infamous he is, is still a human king. As long as he raises his arm and calls, then orthodoxy is at his feet, and his words are the truth! Qin Feng's actions have gained benefits, gained trust, and preserved his bottom line. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has killed three birds with one stone."

At this moment, Su Hu also stood to the side and said, "Young friend Qin Feng's wisdom and methods far surpass those of me. It is hard to imagine how formidable Qin Feng's opponent is, that such a person, who kills without leaving any trace and does things without leaving any room for error, was actually forced to flee into Xuanyuan Tomb."

Su Hu's words cast a shadow over everyone's faces.

Yes!

Even such a cunning, ruthless, scheming, and utterly despicable scoundrel could be forced to come to the Xuanyuan Temple to beg for help.

Isn't his opponent more cunning, more sinister, more powerful, and more evil than him?

Yinglong's voice was cold, "Since you've bet on Qin Feng, don't overthink it. According to Lord Cangjie's will, our main bodies are not allowed to leave the Xuanyuan Temple, lest we fall into the trap of the Heavenly Beings luring us away from the mountain and wiping us out in one fell swoop."

Da Yi also said, "That's right. Let Qin Feng go out and fight on his own. At worst, we, the Arad Rebirths, will go out to help. If the Arad Rebirths die, they die. Under Qin Feng's will, we can be resurrected indefinitely."

The drought demon asked, "By the way, Yi, what was your Arad's name again?"

Da Yi proudly proclaimed, "The most affectionate swordsman, the master of the greatsword, Sword Saint Agamemnon!"

Yinglong couldn't help but ask, "Do you know swordsmanship?"

Da Yi retorted, "What are you talking about! We archers are all well-rounded warriors, okay? Forget swordsmanship, my spear skills are top-notch too!"

"But your name is really hard to pronounce," the drought demon complained. "Why not Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump West, or Forrest Gump East? Why not Forrest Gump Right, Forrest Gump West, or Forrest Gump East?"

Da Yi said, "Dying once makes me Forrest Gump Left, dying again makes me Forrest Gump Right, what's there to be afraid of! The Arad Continent has infinite rebirth, I can go out and roam freely, create a pseudonym, and I'm not afraid of anyone!"

Yinglong laughed heartily, "My name is much better than yours! I got the famous apostle identity in Qin Feng's script—Tyrannosaurus King Bakal! Aren't you envious, Da Yi!"

Da Yi curled his lip. "Please, is it really interesting to have an invincible character from the start? It's much more fun to grow step by step like I do! Boring, I'm going to interact with the adventurers!"

"Adventurers are all destined to live!"

"Those are my dearest family and friends, my brothers and sisters!"

"Thirty thousand adventurers are simply not enough. Qin Feng needs to bring in more excellent adventurers, otherwise these thirty thousand won't be enough for us old folks of the Xuanyuan Shrine to divide among!"

Yinglong looked at the drought demon, "Come on, baby, let's go level up!"

The drought demon glanced at Su Hu, "Keep an eye on the gate!"

Su Hu said, "Yes! Please take care, gentlemen."

Su Hu watched the two leave, then stood on the snow-white steps of the ancestral hall, looking at the brightly lit world of Arad, and sighed inwardly, "The days to come are going to be glorious!"

With Qin Feng breaking through the natural barrier and sending sacrificial offerings, along with the replenishment of Arad's fortune, the situation has improved.

With the replenishment of double the incense offerings, the experts of Xuanyuan Temple will quickly regain their strength.

Furthermore, with their Arad alt accounts having unlimited resurrection coins, they can freely roam the Pangu Universe. At that time, the Celestials, Mechanical Nuwa, the Demon Race, and the Witch Race will all be in a panic.

How fortunate I am to witness such a glorious era!
