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

Chapter 203 Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, the war in the underworld finally comes to an end.

Strictly speaking, the battle at Qiaoshan didn't take place in the Underworld, but it had the most profound impact on the Underworld's war situation. 💞💣 69รH𝔲ｘ.𝒸𝓞Μ ♠🐟

The Foundation's allied forces, which were originally in disarray, were at a disadvantage, while the allied forces of the Dead City Celestials and the Western Church were at an advantage.

However, Zhang Bairen's defeat completely sealed the fate of the City of the Dead.

If your own coach has already been shot in the head by the opposing coach, how do you fight back?

Perhaps Qin Feng's individual combat power is limited, but what if all the Celestials from the City of the Wrongfully Dead were to withdraw?

These celestial beings sent by the heavens will not truly live and die with these guys from the City of the Wrongfully Dead. They are only here to gain military merits. Now that there are no more military merits to gain, leaving is their only option.

The City of the Wrongfully Dead, atop the city walls.

"Martial Virtue Star Lord! Are you really leaving?"

"Those rabble won't last long! Let's go all out and wipe them out! Even if Qin Feng wins, so what! Can Qin Feng alone kill our million-strong army?"

The city lord of the City of the Dead, clad in black armor, looked at the Martial Virtue Star Lord in his blue and white immortal armor with eyes full of pleading.

However, Wu De Xingjun's expression was complicated. He gazed at the Foundation's allied forces' positions not far away, the enemies he had fought for a year: the Youdu Army, Zhang Zhi'en, the Four Seas Alliance, and the Foundation...

Wu De Xing Jun had considered many possible outcomes of his defeat, but he never imagined that he would leave the underworld in such a humiliating way.

Wu De Xingjun looked at his old comrade-in-arms with a complicated expression and said, "You don't understand. Defeat is defeat! If we give ourselves some dignity, Master Meng will turn a blind eye and give us a chance to have a dignified ending. If we don't give ourselves dignity, Master Meng has a thousand ways to make us have one!"

The Lord of the City of the Wrongfully Dead pointed at the allied forces' battle line opposite him, "Tonight, tonight we will launch our decisive battle! They will not be able to withstand our full-force attack! As long as we wipe them out, what can Qin Feng do? Can Qin Feng turn the tide? Without his subordinates, Qin Feng cannot rule the Underworld!"

Wu De Xingjun said, "If we kill them all, the Underworld will be severely weakened. Master Meng will use this as an excuse to demand that the Celestials compensate for the Underworld's later war actions. Master Meng will also use this as a reason to demand that the Celestials hand over the Book of Earth and the last remaining destiny of the Celestials in the Underworld. From then on, the Celestials will no longer be able to interfere in the affairs of the Underworld! If we leave now, preserve the vitality of the Underworld, and surrender voluntarily, it is the only thing the Celestials can do to maintain their dignity! After all, the Celestials cannot truly lose the Underworld."

The city lord of the City of the Wrongfully Dead looked at Wu De Xing Jun and asked, "Is there absolutely no chance of a turnaround?"

Wu De Xing Jun did not speak, but simply rested one hand on his spear, gazing into the distance in silence.

Just then, a voice came from not far away, "Let me go!"

"Are you all crazy?"

"I am the God of Literature!"

"What do you want to do!"

Not far away, they saw celestial beings escorting a large number of other celestial beings to the foot of the city wall.

The Martial Virtue Star Lord on the city wall glanced down and saw at least a hundred celestial beings, all of them tightly bound and kneeling on the ground.

The city lord of the City of the Wrongfully Dead, witnessing this scene, exclaimed, "What does this mean? Wu De, why have you tied up your own men? Release them at once!"

Lord Wude raised his hand, interrupting the Lord of the City of the Wrongfully Dead, "Someone must be held responsible for this failed war."

The city lord of the City of the Unjustly Dead understood, and silently looked at the group of celestial beings below without saying a word.

The God of Literature glared angrily at the God of War, "Wu De! Why should I be held responsible for this war! You were the one who fought! Not me! And the defeat was because of Zhang Bairen! Not because of me!"

The Martial Virtue Star Lord calmly gazed at the people below the city and murmured, "The Emperor is the future supreme ruler of the Celestials. The Emperor will not fail; the Emperor's life should be filled with pride and invincibility!"

"If we fail, someone must be sabotaging us behind the scenes!"

"Therefore, you colluded with Qin Feng to assassinate the Emperor, causing his defeat in the battle against Qin Feng. You must take responsibility for this defeat!"

Wenquxing angrily rebuked, "You're full of lies and nonsense! What about your martial ethics! I treated you like a brother, and you made me take the blame! If you had any martial ethics at all, you would have taken the blame yourself!"

Wu De Xing Jun calmly looked at Wen Qu Xing, "You are my brother, and I can tell you the truth: killing you is an order from above."

The God of Literature roared, "Why?! I shed blood for the Celestials, I risked my life for the Celestials, I remained loyal to the Celestials my entire life, why does this end for me?!"

Wu De Xing Jun said, "That's because you offended Qin Feng! Back in the public prosecution court! Why did you cross Qin Feng's bottom line! Why did you mess with Qin Feng's parents!"

"Do you think you're the only smart one who could find Qin Feng's parents' address?"

"Do you think all Celestials are fools? Any Celestial with a bit of ability knows where Qin Feng's parents are hiding!"

"However, no Celestial Being will go after Qin Feng's parents, because Celestial Beings understand one principle: there must be a balance of dignity and bottom line among them. Whoever crosses that line will die!"

"You harmed Qin Feng's parents. You could have survived, but that was only if we could defeat Qin Feng."

"However, as you are well aware of the current situation, Qin Feng has become a divine human body after Fu Hao! Moreover, he possesses a rare and exceptional divine body, the pinnacle of divine bodies!"

"Do you know what a Sacred Body is? A fully-developed Sacred Body is an invincible existence capable of sweeping across the Immortal Realm single-handedly! Qin Feng was already able to defeat an Emperor just by awakening his Sacred Body. Do you know how terrifying Qin Feng's rare Sacred Body will become when it grows up?"

"You've seriously offended Qin Feng. If you don't die now, given Qin Feng's vengeful nature, he'll pursue this matter later, and even more people will die!"

"Killing you now would minimize the loss to the Celestials and be the most dignified way!"

"Only if we ourselves maintain a respectable appearance will Qin Feng turn a blind eye and allow us to do the same!"

The words of the Martial Virtue Star Lord were like thunder, striking the senses.

The God of Literature remained silent for a long time, then let out a long laugh, "I understand, I completely understand! Loyalty must be tempered! Absolute loyalty means absolute betrayal!"

"Hahaha—I was wholeheartedly acting in the best interests of the Celestials, yet I was betrayed by them!"

"The Emperor's failure is being made me bear the brunt!"

"Qin Feng is a true villain, while you Celestials are hypocrites!"

"In this world, only hypocrites and true villains can survive; loyal people like me cannot be allowed to live!"

"My God! Look at this world! What kind of fucking world is this?!"

Wu De Xing Jun suddenly swung his thunder spear!

The purplish-black lightning spear transformed into a thunderous dragon in mid-air, fiercely devouring those below. In the blink of an eye, all the celestial beings were annihilated!

The city lord of the City of the Wrongfully Dead gasped. He was already a master at the late stage of the Ninth Realm, but seeing such a scene of a celestial being slaying another celestial being still sent chills down his spine.

The Celestials are truly ruthless; they can be so cruel even to their own people!

The Martial Virtue Star Lord narrowed his eyes, glancing at the City Lord of the City of the Wrongfully Dead. "I've taken the Celestials away. The rest is up to you!"

The city lord of the City of the Unjustly Dead said, "What will become of me? Please enlighten me, Star Lord."

Wu De Xingjun said, "Don't worry, Qin Feng won't kill you! The Underworld has just completed a power transition, and the new force Qin Feng may not be able to rule the entire Underworld. Some conservative forces will still recognize you. Qin Feng will definitely keep you and even reward you with a lot of wealth, allowing you to be a free and powerful person."

The city lord of the City of the Wrongfully Dead's eyes gleamed. "Is this true?"

Wu De Xingjun continued, "But there's a prerequisite: you must completely hand over all power and all your trump cards, and never be an enemy of Qin Feng, nor engage in any underhanded tactics! My suggestion is: accept Qin Feng's offer of recruitment, obediently follow Qin Feng's instructions, and after completing everything, create a fake death scene for yourself, then live out the rest of your life under an alternate name. This is the best way."

The Lord of the City of the Unjustly Dead clasped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Star Lord, for guiding me on the right path!"

Wu De Xingjun glanced at the corpses of Wen Qu Xingjun and the other celestial beings, and said, "Collect their bodies and send them to the Allied Forces' headquarters. Tell Zhang Zhi'en and Qin Feng that the celestial beings have repaid what they owed them!"

The city lord of the City of the Wrongfully Dead nodded. "Understood! But, Star Lord, do we still have a chance to fight back?"

Wu De Xingjun shook his head and said, "I don't know. The Emperor's defeat and whereabouts are unknown. The power of the Holy Body is like the sun in the sky, which is irresistible and unstoppable! Perhaps when the fate of heaven changes and Qin Feng falls, we will have a chance! But who knows when the fate of heaven will change? We are just a group of pawns who cannot even control their own destiny."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu De Xing Jun transformed into starlight and soared into the sky.

Even faster, streaks of celestial beings transformed into starlight, closely following the Martial Virtue Star Lord. Tens of thousands of starlight surged upstream, rushing into the night sky and disappearing into the darkness.

Across from the City of the Dead, the Allied Forces' camp resounded with the thunderous beat of drums as the massive Allied army surged forward.

Just as the City of the Wrongfully Dead was about to resist, the city lord's voice rang out, "Open the city gates and announce your surrender!"

All the defenders of the City of the Dead were stunned. We were about to fight to the death, how come the city lord has surrendered?

But the city lord's orders could not be disobeyed. The city of the undead, which had been besieged for so long, opened its gates at this moment, and all the defenders abandoned their weapons and armor and surrendered one after another.

Meanwhile, good news came from the Li and Yang families in Zhuolu.

There has been activity at the Nezha memorial tablet in the Li family, suggesting that Nezha's spirit may have left the Investiture of the Gods and is reviving.

At the same time, the spirit tablet of Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian, the patriarch of the Yang family, also showed signs of loosening and revival.

This sudden news plunged the Li and Yang families into internal strife.

Although the Li and Yang families usually treat their ancestors with great respect, no one would agree if their ancestors were to return.

Everyone knows all too well what kind of temperament the ancestor had. When he was alive, he was a complete troublemaker and could have ruined the family!

In everyone's eyes, the dead ancestor is our good ancestor, and only then can we live a good life. But now the ancestor has been resurrected and is about to return. This damn good life is about to end!

In contrast to the fear of the beneficiaries of the two major families, the new generation of family members who had not benefited from the situation welcomed their ancestor very much, seeing it as their only chance to rise in social class!

In a short time, with the crisis from external enemies resolved, the various factions of the Li and Yang families, now free from external threats, launched a fierce civil war, with news of casualties emerging one after another.

This also confirms Qin Feng's previous assessment of the Li and Yang families: the biggest characteristic of these two families is that they are experts at internal strife but incompetent at external strife!

Zhuolu was bustling, but the Seven Kingdoms were even more so.

The appearance of the Ancestral Shrine signifies that the war of unification will be full of human righteousness, so those messy slogans like "tyrant" are no longer applicable!

If you can unify the world, pay homage to your ancestors, and worship the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, then you are the rightful human king!

In an instant, the rulers of the seven states all stirred up trouble. Previously, the six states had formed an alliance against Qin, and their enormous advantage allowed them to continue their alliance while preventing Qin from doing anything to them.

Now the kings of the seven kingdoms have stepped forward, declaring their intention to unify the human race and become the new human king!

So here's the problem: the six of you live together and sleep in the same room. Are you planning to take turns being the King of Men? This year you'll be the King of Men, and next year I'll be the King of Men?

This is utterly outrageous!

There can only be one human king! And only one nation can be preserved!

Thus, the alliance of the six states became a mere formality, and the Qin state was overjoyed as the rulers of the six states declared themselves kings.

With the alliance of the six states broken, given Qin's immense size, no single state could stand against it in a one-on-one battle!

Furthermore, my Great Qin has reigned for the longest time, so at this moment, the unification of the world is just around the corner!

As for the people of the seven kingdoms, they all have hope for unification. Once upon a time, the seven kingdoms used their own country to brainwash their people. Now that the Ancestral Temple has appeared, everyone has realized that all that bullshit about being citizens of feudal states is nonsense. We are the people of Yan and Huang!

In this way, the war between the seven kingdoms became, in a sense, a war between the kings of the seven kingdoms. Instead, the common people were not too concerned about the war. What they cared about most was whether Master Meng could obtain the Great Martial Arts inherited from the ancestral spirits, start a new era of Great Martial Arts, revive martial arts and achieve the ultimate goal of becoming a god, and making everyone a dragon.

Qin Feng was also very concerned about this.

This is related to another huge plan by Qin Feng—establishing the Martial Sect!

Before Confucius ascended to heaven, he said, "The world is missing one more Martial Emperor."

Qin Feng also had the idea of ​​creating a martial arts sect. He had already established a foundation martial arts hall when he was in the East Sea, and it had been held twice.

Now that the Martial Sect has been established, it is an opportunity. All martial arts practitioners in the world want to learn the Great Martial Way, and I myself am the first beneficiary of the Great Martial Way, as well as a role model for everyone.

Furthermore, having defeated Zhang Bairen, he was at the height of his prestige and reputation. If he did not establish the Martial Clan at this time, he would truly be missing a golden opportunity.

However, establishing the Wuzong sect was not an urgent matter. First of all, he had no experience in founding a sect, so he needed to find an experienced person to help him with the overall situation.

Without a doubt, Mencius, who had many years of experience managing Confucianism and could be called the ancestor of the Confucian revival, was the best candidate.

As long as Master Meng agrees to establish Emperor Wuzong, coupled with his own appeal, Emperor Wuzong is bound to succeed!

This is why Qin Feng went to great lengths to exaggerate Master Meng's abilities to those ancestors, hoping they would pass on Master Meng's Great Martial Arts.

It's important to know that when Qin Feng first suggested to the ancestors that Master Meng learn the Great Martial Arts, the ancestors were strongly opposed.

In the words of our ancestors, the Great Martial Arts wouldn't offer much guidance to Master Meng. Master Meng's realm is already too high; it's impossible for him to start over, and there's no way to make amends either.

Master Meng is not like Qin Feng. Qin Feng's cultivation level is very low, and it is easy for someone with a low cultivation level to change their cultivation path!

If you change your path when your cultivation level is too high, you might run into trouble. It's quite normal to end up with something like going into qi deviation!

However, Qin Feng ultimately managed to persuade the ancestral spirits to teach Master Meng the Great Martial Path using his silver tongue. As for whether Master Meng would use the Great Martial Path after learning and understanding it, how he would use it, and how he would choose his future cultivation path—whether to start over or continue down the path of the Lesser Martial Path—that was Master Meng's own choice, and no one else could give him advice.

In the Hutton Mar Wind Fist Dojo on the continent of Arad.

Qin Feng was hunched over his desk drawing blueprints. The desk next to him was piled high with thick architectural blueprints, all of which were Qin Feng's architectural designs for the Wuzong sect.

Nearby, Cangjie, while tidying up his boxing equipment, remarked, "Master Meng has been in the ancestral temple for almost three days now, why hasn't he come out yet? Could it be that he's starting over?"

Qin Feng then asked, "What would happen if Master Meng were to start all over again?"

Cangjie asked, "Have you ever heard of reincarnation?"

Qin Feng said, "I've heard of it! Does the Ancestor mean that he will reset his cultivation level to zero and start cultivating all over again?"

Cangjie said, "What you said is not entirely true. If he were to start over, his cultivation level would be restored, but he might not be reborn into our Pangu Universe."

Qin Feng understood. "What the Ancestor means is rebirth in another realm, reincarnation, and cultivation of the Great Martial Dao again?"

Cangjie nodded. "Generally speaking, strong beings don't reincarnate into their own universe. Instead, they go to a completely different universe to cultivate. There are many other universes outside of the Pangu Universe."

Qin Feng laughed, "Of course! Not to mention anything far back, Fu Hao even defeated invaders from foreign lands back then!"

Cangjie seemed thoughtful. "Speaking of which, have you seen the recent intelligence from the Celestials? They voluntarily abandoned the Underworld, killed hundreds of Celestials to appease your anger, and also released many of the Investiture of the Gods' spirits, including Yang Jian, Nezha, and Huang Feihu. They've done a decent job. What do you think of the Celestials?"

Qin Feng put down his pen and looked at Cangjie, the Ancestor, seriously, saying, "To be honest, the Celestials don't do a good job of these respectable tasks! They even have a lot of petty tricks up their sleeves!"

"Take the Celestials' decision to release Yang Jian and Nezha, these heroes from the Investiture of the Gods, for example. On the surface, they're giving us face and admitting defeat, but in reality, even with these guys released, my Foundation still can't take Zhuolu. Yang Jian and Nezha won't tolerate the Foundation invading Zhuolu and encroaching on their family's interests! The Celestials are just trying to disgust me. If they can't have it, I won't have it either! I'd rather throw it away and feed it to the dogs than give it to me!"

"As for the matter of the Underworld, the Celestials have already realized that I have no intention of dominating the Underworld and becoming the King of the Underworld. Since I don't want it, I won't let them have it. They should simply make a dignified exit, retain the Book of Earth, and retain a voice in the Underworld. That's enough for them!"

"As for who will rule the Underworld, both the Celestials and I understand that the Xuanyuan Shrine was created precisely to gain control of the Underworld!"

"After all, the underworld will be in charge of the souls of the dead. What could be more reassuring than entrusting the souls of humans to the ancestors of humanity?"

"Once Master Meng comes out, Fengdu City should also enter the underworld. Xuanyuan Temple will take over the underworld, and from then on, the affairs of the underworld will have little to do with me or the celestial beings."

"So, getting back to the point, Ancestor, you asked me what my opinion is on the Celestials? My opinion is that they apologized, and they gave me some face, but the apology wasn't sincere enough, and the face they gave was too small-minded. That defeated Zhang Bairen didn't even show his face and thought he could satisfy me? What a load of rubbish! I definitely won't forgive him until I've thoroughly humiliated Zhang Bairen himself! And those bastards who harmed my parents, Wenqu Xingjun and the others are just pawns! Those Celestials who instigated Wenqu Xingjun to harm my parents are the real culprits. If I don't slaughter them and raze the entire Celestial Realm to the ground, wouldn't my bottom line be just for show?"

"But my dissatisfaction is still my dissatisfaction; I'm just a nobody."

"The current advantage is that our ancestors have obtained the Underworld, and this round is a perfect victory! Under these circumstances, the consensus among our ancestors is to know when to stop and not to really anger the celestial beings."

"As for me, I'll consider the bigger picture and, following the words of our ancestors, reluctantly accept this hypocritical apology and lack of class. But, Ancestor Cangjie, I might as well lay my ugly truth out here."

"My hatred for the Celestials is far from over; it has only deepened! Zhang Bairen will surely kill me when he returns from his seclusion! And I will certainly cleanse the Celestial Realm of blood! The feud between us is irreconcilable!"

The Ancestor Cangjie said, "I'm sorry to trouble you! But this is the only way. The current Pangu Universe cannot withstand a cataclysmic event like the Great Chaos of the Lich King. If there is a war between the Celestials and Humans, the Pangu Universe will be finished! Our current priority is to secure the Underworld and prevent the Celestials from interfering with the human realm in the outer universe, so that a unified great empire can emerge in the human realm first! Only by unifying the human race can we turn against the Celestials without worrying about the collapse of the universe!"

Qin Feng laughed and said, "I understand the Ancestor's reasoning! I, Qin Feng, am not the kind of person who is petty and narrow-minded. How could I ruin the Ancestors' overall plan because of my little grudges and dissatisfaction!"

Looking at Qin Feng's smile, Cangjie thought to himself, "If the ancestor believed you, he would truly be believing in evil! Even a dog would shake its head at your words!"

Just then, Da Yi strolled in from outside, saying casually, "How boring!"

Cangjie asked, "Weren't you off teaching Master Meng the Great Martial Arts?"

Da Yi shrugged. "I went! Then that bastard Yinglong made me sit on the sidelines, not letting me say a word the whole time! Every time I spoke, he and his partner Hanba would gang up on me, making me sit there sulking! I just left. Let them teach if they want! I already have a powerful disciple, and I don't believe that Master Meng can surpass Qin Feng by starting over!"

Qin Feng was taken aback. "Master Meng wants to start all over again?"

Da Yi said, "Don't worry, let's wait until the journey through the world is over! Starting over now is not an option. His realm is too high, ridiculously high! There's almost no possibility of remedying it! After seeing his realm, our unanimous advice was to start over. However, after watching our demonstration of the Great Martial Arts, he was greatly shocked, and at the same time, he mixed it with some Confucian ideas. I estimate that if he is reborn in the future, he will at least be at the Saint Body level!"

Qin Feng sighed, "I still have over fifty years left to travel the world; I must seize the time!"

Da Yi held the drafts Qin Feng had drawn. "These are all the blueprints for the Martial Sect you're planning? These buildings, I must say, are quite impressive! They really have the feel of the Arad Continent!"

Qin Feng enthusiastically introduced his blueprints, "This is just the initial stage! The immortals created a Martial Sect so everyone could cultivate in the Pangu Great Universe and adapt to this architectural style!"

"Once I enter the Shattered Void Realm, my microcosm will evolve to the Star level. At that time, adventurers with microcosms will be able to possess physical bodies, and then I can connect the Arad World and the Pangu Great World!"

"At that time, powerful cultivators from the Pangu Great World can directly enter my Arad Continent for training!"

"How is it?"

Da Yi nodded repeatedly, "This plan is excellent! The Arad Great World is only relying on you to swindle and deceive souls everywhere, which is not a long-term solution. Only by systematically absorbing high-quality individuals on a large scale can we ensure stability!"

"With the establishment of the Martial Sect, outstanding disciples can be selected to enter the Arad world and receive guidance from us, the avatars of our ancestors!"

"This way, we don't need to go to the Pangu Universe anymore, perfect!"

Cangjie also came over and said, "This plan was proposed by me! Of course it's perfect!"

Qin Feng said, "I brought it up first!"

Cangjie scoffed, "You're the one who brought this up now. What did you say back then? You just stripped the Martial Sect disciples of their physical bodies and stuffed them all into the Arad Universe! How is that any different from the Demonic Sect, which recruits and kills as many disciples as they want?"

"I advise you to be more mindful of your actions and take things one step at a time. You can't get fat in one bite, so don't be impatient for quick results."

"Only then have you slowed down, giving the Martial Sect disciples a buffer zone to establish Martial Sect territory on the Pangu Continent!"

Qin Feng blushed and said, "I... I was a little anxious, but this isn't my first time being the founding patriarch. Who knew it would be so troublesome! Besides, if I arranged everything perfectly, the other patriarchs would be standing here, unable to say a word, making you all feel so awkward! I'm giving you patriarchs a chance to shine!"

Cangjie put on his boxing gloves and smiled amicably, "Your mouth! It gets irritating if you don't punch someone for a day! You feel like you've been wronged the moment you lose the argument! Come on, come over here, let's have a boxing match!"

"No!" Qin Feng said, "I need to draw blueprints! I don't have time to box with you!"

"Didn't you say you were giving the ancestors a chance to prove themselves? Come here and get a beating!"

"I was just saying that in anger, why take it seriously, Ancestor!"

"Talking nonsense? I think you're getting cocky! Don't you think it's something to brag about defeating Zhang Bairen? Please, with your strength you could have easily crushed him, but you dragged your feet for so long, holding back and letting Donghai slip through your fingers! This kind of combat efficiency is utterly shameful. Get over here, I'll teach you how to fight!"

"Hey! What are you two doing... Damn it! Don't hit my face!"

A bloodcurdling scream echoed from the Wind Fist Style Dojo. Upon hearing the sound, passing adventurers turned pale and hurriedly avoided the dojo.
