Chapter 74 The Choice of the Wen Family Head
"Grand...Grandmaster...Peak".
The Xuan Yue Pavilion Master, heavily injured, clutched his chest and looked at Qin Wu.
He never expected that Qin Wu would break through to the peak of the Grandmaster level at this time.
It should be noted that even among the late-stage Grandmasters, there is only the mysterious Huangji Sect Master, Huangji Sword Master.
Qin Wu has actually broken through to the peak of the Grandmaster level.
It can be said that Qin Wu is currently the strongest person he knows.
Even he couldn't withstand such an existence.
Recalling the speed Qin Wu had previously displayed, the power of the Divine Martial King had exceeded their expectations.
"It's all thanks to you all. If it weren't for the pressure you put on me, I don't know when I would have been able to break through."
Qin Wu slowly walked up to the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master.
He finally broke through after being stuck for so long.
This put him in a very good mood.
"I will give you two choices."
"First, from now on, you will live under an assumed name and become my secret guard."
"Second, death."
"Pavilion Master Xuan Yue, make your choice!"
Qin Wu looked down at the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master.
This was a decision he made on short notice.
After all, a Grandmaster-level expert is still very useful to him.
I can help him with a lot of things.
"The same applies to you; you can choose now."
Qin Wu glanced again at the Grandmaster-level experts lying on the ground around him.
"I am willing to pledge allegiance to Your Highness. Please spare my life."
"It is a master who said weakly."
He paid a heavy price to reach the level of a Grandmaster.
He didn't want to die like this.
Joining Qin Wu's camp was the best option for him.
All he wants now is to survive.
"Very good, you made the right choice."
Qin Wu smiled and looked at the grandmaster.
There is one person starting.
The other surviving Grandmaster-level experts all agreed.
Qin Wu finally looked at the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master.
However, his patience was dwindling.
"I promise."
The Xuan Yue Pavilion Master watched as the killing intent in Qin Wu's eyes gradually intensified.
He knew that the Divine Martial King intended to kill him.
He immediately agreed.
He didn't want to die, he didn't want to die such a miserable death.
"Haha, a wise man submits to circumstances."
"I believe you won't regret your choice today."
"Liufeng, these people are yours. Once they've recovered, have them come to see me."
"Also, clean up this place and make sure the news that they're not dead gets out."
Qin Wu said.
A figure emerged from the shadows.
"master."
Liu Feng bowed.
"Well, I leave it to you."
Qin Wu nodded.
Then turned and left.
"Keep going."
Qin Wu mounted his horse and left with his men.
The hidden guards also appeared and took the person away.
And then they set the whole place on fire.
After several days, Qin Wu and his group finally arrived at Jubei City.
And then a bombshell piece of news spread.
The Xuan Yue Pavilion Master, one of the three grandmasters of the Eastern Qin martial arts world, has fallen.
The news reached the royal villas outside the capital city immediately.
"What? Are you sure the news is true?"
The Sword Master of the Spirit Sword stood up in shock.
Some couldn't believe the news they were hearing.
The Xuan Yue Pavilion Master, along with 30 Grandmasters and over a hundred Great Martial Masters and Martial Masters, was completely wiped out.
Surprisingly, the Divine Martial King was completely unharmed and continued his journey to Jubei City with his men.
This news is absolutely shocking.
He couldn't believe it at all.
"Sword Master, this news is true. Their bodies have been found, but they were burned by the Divine Martial King's men. By the time the people from Xuan Yue Pavilion discovered the fire and rushed over, the fire had been extinguished, but the bodies were already burned beyond recognition."
The man in black reported.
They didn't want to believe it, but they had no choice but to.
This is the fact.
"A Grandmaster, 30 Grandmasters, and hundreds of Martial Masters and Martial Arts Masters, just like that, gone?"
The master of the spirit sword remained silent for a long time.
They finally acknowledged the truth.
Originally, these three grandmasters of the martial arts world could barely maintain a balance with the royal family.
Now that the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master is dead, they probably can no longer threaten the Eastern Qin royal family.
They will continue to be suppressed by the Eastern Qin royal family.
This is not the result they want.
At this moment, the head of the Wen family walked in.
"Spirit Sword, have you received the message?"
The head of the Wen family found a seat and sat down.
"Received. The Xuan Yue Pavilion Master has passed away. This is not good news."
The Sword Master of the Spirit Sword said with a stern face.
His complexion also turned very bad.
"It seems that we need to change our attitude towards the Eastern Qin royal family from now on."
"That's what the head of the Wen family said."
If they don't change their attitude, the Eastern Qin royal family will probably settle scores with them sooner or later.
If Qin Wu can kill the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master, he can kill them too.
This Divine Martial King is truly terrifying.
"What are you going to do?"
The Sword Master of the Spirit Sword remained silent for a moment before asking.
"I plan to send someone into officialdom to curry favor with the royal family."
The head of the Wen family revealed his decision.
There was no other way; only in this way would the Eastern Qin royal family not attack them.
This also allows the royal family to see their attitude.
"I'm thinking about it."
The master of the spirit sword was somewhat unwilling.
He had been at odds with the royal family for so many years, and suddenly being asked to show goodwill to them felt like he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Well, you can decide for yourself! There's still time before the Divine Martial King returns to the capital."
"By the time the Divine Martial King returns after finishing his work, there probably won't be another chance."
After hearing what the head of the household had said, he left.
After leaving, he headed towards the residences of the retired emperor and the war king.
Before long, they arrived at the Emperor Emeritus's courtyard.
"Brother Wenren, what brings you here?"
The retired emperor looked at the head of the Wen family with a half-smile.
They had all received the news; Qin Wu had given them a huge surprise.
The fact that they directly killed the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master is incredibly good news for their royal family.
From now on, they can do their own thing without worry.
"Your Majesty is too kind. I have come here today because I have something I wish to discuss with you."
"I recently heard that our Eastern Qin is going to send troops to Southern Qi."
"I don't know if we need any more military officers. My Wenren clan also wants to contribute to Eastern Qin."
The head of the Wen family said with a smile.
There was no other way; he came this time to make amends.
Even if they could hear the mockery in the Emperor Emeritus's words, they could only pretend they hadn't heard it.
"Haha, Brother Wenren is willing to help, that's great, our Eastern Qin needs quite a few generals this time."
The emperor said with a smile.
He had already guessed the purpose of the Wen family head's visit.
This is a gesture of goodwill towards them.
The goal is to transform from a force in the underworld to a force in the central government.
This is absolutely fantastic news for Eastern Qin.
With the Wenren family now serving as officials in the imperial court, the petty actions of the Jianghu forces will have to be greatly restrained in the future.
They will also have far fewer troubles.
"Then thank you very much, Your Majesty. I have stayed here for a few days now, and I will return tomorrow to select outstanding disciples from my clan and send them to the capital."
When the head of the Wen family saw that the Emperor Emeritus had agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely worried that the royal family would take a hard line against them.
When the Divine Martial King returns, they won't be able to stop him.
Unless the entire clan migrates or they go into seclusion.
Otherwise, the outcome will definitely not be good.
"Alright, let's have a good drink tonight as a way of welcoming the head of the Wen family."
"I will also discuss this matter with the Emperor and make proper arrangements for the young talents of the Wenren family."
The emperor said with a smile.
The matter was decided in just a few simple words from the group.
