Chapter 196 The Emperor of Eastern Qin Meets with the Retired Emperor, Revealing Secrets and Specula
The next day.
The Divine Martial King's personal carriage, which had not been seen for six years, appeared in the capital.
Now everyone was on edge.
They knew that the appearance of the Divine Martial King's carriage meant that the Divine Martial King had left the pass and returned to the capital.
With this living Yama returning to the capital, all the major powers in the city are on tenterhooks.
With this person back, those who felt guilty started looking for ways to check if there were any loose ends they hadn't cleaned up.
Now, the once peaceful capital city is once again in turmoil.
Qin Wu sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, and the carriage slowly headed towards the Shenwu King's Mansion.
Not long after, they returned to the Prince's Palace.
At this moment, outside the Prince's Mansion, Jiang Pingle, along with the other three women and a group of guards from the Prince's Mansion, were already waiting.
Qin Wu's carriage stopped, and Qin Wu stepped out.
"See you, Your Majesty."
Everyone who saw Qin Wu immediately bowed.
"No need for formalities, let's return home."
After Qin Wu finished speaking, he got off the carriage and led the way into the Prince's Palace.
Now that Qin Wu has truly appeared, everyone can confirm that this living Yama has really returned.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that His Highness Prince Shenwu has returned to his residence."
Eunuch Yongfu strode in from outside and reported to Emperor Dong Qin.
"Are they back? Some people are probably getting restless."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin smiled and continued to write down his thoughts on the memorials.
They show no sign of stopping.
He is now eagerly anticipating what Qin Wu will do upon his return.
After all, some people have been very active these past few years, and they're probably going to be in trouble.
"Yongle, send someone to keep an eye on them, and make sure they don't do anything crazy."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin then gave instructions to Eunuch Yongle, who was standing to the side.
He worried that, under Qin Wu's madness, those clans would not dare to attack Qin Wu and would instead target other members of the royal family.
Therefore, we need to take precautions in advance to avoid being caught off guard by those people.
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
After receiving the order, Eunuch Yongle withdrew.
"Your Majesty, I just received news that the Immortal Sect may have secretly sent people to the capital again. Should we make preparations in advance?"
After Yongle left, Eunuch Yongfu reported to the Emperor of Dongqin again.
In recent years, they have been on guard against the Immortal Sect, fearing that the Immortal Sect might secretly take action against them.
"Don't immortal sects stay out of mortal affairs? Why have they secretly sent people here? What are they planning to do?"
When the Emperor of Eastern Qin heard that someone might have been sent to Eastern Qin again, a solemn expression appeared on his face.
If the Immortal Sect attacks Eastern Qin, Eastern Qin will likely be in trouble.
"Tell this to King Shenwu; only he can handle this matter."
After careful consideration, the Emperor of Eastern Qin decided to entrust the matter to Qin Wu.
Moreover, it seems that only Qin Wu in the entire Eastern Qin region is capable of handling this matter.
No one else has the ability to handle this.
"Yes, then this old servant will go and inform the prince immediately."
Yongfu Gonggong understood the meaning of the Eastern Qin Emperor, knowing that in the entire Eastern Qin, only their Ninth Prince could rival the Immortal Sect.
"Go, and also take a copy of the Immortal Sect's information to Old Nine."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin gave the order.
"Yes, old slave, go right away."
Yongfu Gonggong also accepted the order and withdrew.
"Alas, these are truly turbulent times! Is this immortal sect really about to emerge?"
A look of solemnity flashed in the eyes of the Emperor of Eastern Qin.
If the Immortal Sect really makes a move, then Eastern Qin will be in real trouble.
After thinking for a moment.
The Emperor of Eastern Qin then rose and headed towards the rear of the palace.
They soon arrived at the forbidden area of the Eastern Qin Imperial Palace.
"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty and greets Your Majesty."
Emperor Dong Qin entered the main hall and paid his respects to the retired emperor and the King of War.
"How did you come?"
The retired emperor looked at the Emperor of Eastern Qin.
The retired emperor was also curious about what had brought the Eastern Qin Emperor to the capital so suddenly.
"Father, people from the Immortal Sect have secretly come to our Eastern Qin."
Emperor Dong Qin made no attempt to conceal anything and directly revealed the matter of the Immortal Sect's secret entry into the capital.
"Are you sure? Apart from issuing an order a few years ago to stop the war, the Immortal Sect has never appeared in the world before. To them, there is nothing in the mortal world that is worth their attention."
The retired emperor could hardly believe it.
After all, aside from the attack on the Shang Dynasty more than 300 years ago, the only other time the Immortal Sect issued an order was six years ago.
After that, he never appeared in front of the world again.
"Father, this news is definitely true. In fact, the Immortal Sect has interfered in the affairs of our Eastern Qin over the past few years. In just six years, they have trained a total of 12 Grandmaster-level experts for the six major clans, all in an effort to restrict our royal family."
"That's why the clans dare to be so presumptuous. I'm afraid they're up to something big this time. I'm worried they might target our royal family, which is why I've come to see Father and Uncle."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin recounted all the intelligence he had gathered over the years.
In the past few years, it wasn't just the clans that had produced new Grandmasters; their royal family also had several Grandmaster-level experts, but they hadn't revealed it to the outside world.
"So what are you going to do?"
The retired emperor inquired.
"Several members of my royal family have advanced to the Grandmaster level in recent years. Your son wants Yongfu and Yongle to display their cultivation, while the others should remain hidden in the shadows."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin then revealed his plans.
This was also the purpose of his visit; only by exposing the two Grandmaster-level experts could he achieve a greater deterrent effect.
To prevent those clans from taking advantage of the situation and becoming unruly.
They also wanted to test what the Immortal Sect was up to.
"Are you trying to test the Immortal Sect?"
The retired emperor instantly guessed the Eastern Qin emperor's thoughts.
"Correct."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin did not hide anything.
"Did you guess something?"
The retired emperor asked again.
“Father, I have some conjectures. Over the years, I have collected a lot of information about the Shang Dynasty and discovered that the Shang Dynasty had developed to a powerful level. It is even suspected that two powerful beings at the Land Immortal Realm have emerged. Moreover, they may have had a conflict with the Immortal Sect, which led to the destruction of the country.”
"No one knows exactly what happened back then; that part of history was probably erased by the Immortal Sect."
"However, what is certain is that the two terrestrial immortals from Shang died in battle, and it seems that the Immortal Sect also had a terrestrial immortal who died in that war of national annihilation, but no one knows whether this news is true."
"And the current development of my Eastern Qin is no worse than that of the Shang Dynasty back then, and even stronger than the Shang Dynasty. If there were no immortals on land, the Immortal Sect would probably have already taken action against us."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin revealed all the intelligence he had gathered over several years.
"You suspect that the Immortal Sect doesn't allow such a powerful nation as ours to exist?"
The retired emperor's expression was solemn.
Previously, Eastern Qin was not as powerful as it is now. Although it was stronger than the other three kingdoms, it was still far inferior to what it is today.
There are many things that you can't access.
However, the power of the Eastern Qin state has now grown so strong that it can easily destroy the Western Zhou.
That's how we found a lot of information that we couldn't access before.
"Yes, that's not all. In recent years, I have been searching through nearly 3000 years of history. In these 3000 years, there have been powerful countries, even those stronger than Shang, but they were all eventually destroyed by the Immortal Sect."
"However, these are all unofficial histories, and we don't know if they are true. But we can confirm that even if it wasn't the Immortal Sect that made the move, it still has an indelible relationship with the Immortal Sect."
"Moreover, based on the reactions of the Immortal Sect over the past few years, I believe that those unofficial histories are very likely true."
"The Immortal Sect will not allow a unified kingdom to emerge."
"We probably got wind of our large-scale military training this time, otherwise the Immortal Sect wouldn't have secretly sent people to my Eastern Qin."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin continued to recount his investigation and conjectures.
This made him even more wary of the Immortal Sect, fearing that the Immortal Sect would take action against them.
They wanted to test the limits of the Immortal Sect even more.
His words silenced the retired emperor.
He knew about the Immortal Sect before, since everyone had to know it after the Eastern Qin Emperor ascended the throne, but he had never really looked into it, since the Immortal Sect hadn't appeared for hundreds of years.
It now appears that it's not that immortal sects don't appear, but rather that there are no forces worthy of their emergence.
But now, their Eastern Qin has become a source of fear for the Immortal Sect, which is why the Immortal Sect has emerged.
"Alright, we'll do as you say. We need to test them properly, but you should also communicate with Xiao Jiu to see what level she has reached and whether she can withstand the pressure from the Immortal Sect."
"If we can't, Xiao Jiu's strength cannot be exposed. We must endure it."
After a moment of silence, the retired emperor finally spoke.
The current Immortal Sect is seen by them as a mysterious and terrifying force, a force that can determine the fate of their Eastern Qin.
If they can't hold out, then they should be patient and wait until they have enough strength to fight against the Immortal Sect.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand. Then I shall take my leave."
Emperor Dongqin breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew after the retired emperor agreed.
