From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS - Chapter 382
382 The Marchioness of the fallen Moon arrives
Bai Hongze had made the arrangements.
Qin shujian immediately went into seclusion.
It was also at this moment.
The messenger sent by the Marchioness of the fallen Moon had also come to the flying crane sect.
In the main hall.
Bai Hongze personally received the messenger sent by the Marquis of Luoyue. After the messenger was seated, he cupped his hands and asked, “”I have yet to ask for your esteemed envoy’s name. What business do you have with my flying crane sect today?”
“My name is pang Jing. I’m here on the Marquis’s orders to meet with sect master Qin of Yuan sect.”
Pang Jing, dressed as a middle-aged scholar, cupped his hands in return and said politely.
…..
Upon hearing this.
Bai Hongze also came to a realization.
When the other party arrived, he already had some guesses in his heart.
Until pang Jing really opened his mouth.
Only then was it confirmed.
“Unfortunately, sect master Qin has just entered closed door cultivation. I’m not sure when he will come out. I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”
“I see.” Pang Jing’s brows twitched, but he immediately smiled and said, “”Then this one will wait here for a while. After all, it will be difficult for me to answer to the Marquis if I return without completing the task he has given me.”
“I understand,”
Bai Hongze said with a smile.
However, his heart was a little heavy.
Things were different now.
To put it bluntly, the Marquis of the fallen Moon falling out with the Imperial court was a public rebellion.
In this regard.
Bai Hongze did not want to have anything to do with the Imperial court or the Marchioness of the fallen Moon at this time.
Because the current situation was not clear.
Once one side was defeated, the other side would be purged.
It didn’t matter if you were on the losing side or not. As long as you were related to them, you wouldn’t have the chance to stay out of it.
With flying crane sect’s strength …
If one were to rashly join in, all it would take was a single wave to engulf them, leaving not even a trace behind.
It was precisely because of this.
Therefore, Bai Hongze did not wish to have too many disputes with the Marchioness of the fallen Moon. He also did not wish for pang Jing to remain in the flying crane sect, in case others would gossip about him or cause the court to be unhappy.
However-
No matter how unwilling he was, he couldn’t say it out loud.
The moment he said it.
That would mean that he had offended pang Jing and the Marchioness of the fallen Moon.
The flying crane sect could not afford to offend the Imperial court.
He couldn’t afford to offend Marchioness Moonfall.
Under such circumstances, Bai Hongze had no choice but to agree to the other party’s words.
Boom–
A thunderous sound interrupted their conversation.
Both Bai Hongze and pang Jing’s expressions changed, and they left the hall without thinking and went to the outside world.
At this moment.
Black clouds covered the sky, and lightning crackled within them. From time to time, a bolt of lightning would strike down, and the entire flying crane sect was filled with a terrifying heavenly might.
this is … Lightning tribulation!
Pang Jing’s pupils contracted slightly. He was also very afraid of the lightning tribulation.
As for Bai Hongze …
Now, he was also shocked.
Each bolt of lightning exuded a terrifying aura, which had exceeded the limit of the peak of the true martial realm.
After the shock.
Bai Hongze seemed to have thought of something and said, ” sect master Qin’s methods are truly astonishing. He’s able to trigger the lightning tribulation so quickly. I’m afraid this time, he’s not refining an ordinary spirit weapon.
“Sect leader Bai, are you saying that the lightning tribulation this time was drawn over by sect leader Qin?”
Hearing Bai Hongze’s words, pang Jing couldn’t help but ask.
Although he was a prominent divine stage Grand cultivator, he was still a powerful cultivator.
However, he was not much stronger than Bai Hongze in the true Dominion.
The power of the lightning tribulation far exceeded that of a peak true martial realm expert, and even Bai Hongze was trembling in fear.
just now, I told you that sect master Qin went into seclusion. I just didn’t expect that sect master Qin didn’t go into seclusion to cultivate, but to refine a spirit weapon.
“A Grandmaster blacksmith!”
Pang Jing spat out these words with great difficulty, his expression extremely grave.
Two grandmasters!
This was not a small name at all.
This was especially true when news of Qin shujian forging a doctrine artifact had spread during his time in the spirit domain of Mount Liang. This further confirmed his skills as a Grandmaster blacksmith.
A Dao artifact could not be forged.
This was something that all blacksmiths below the Grandmaster level acknowledged.
To be able to break this law.
Only a Grandmaster blacksmith could do that.
Now that he had attracted the lightning tribulation by refining a spirit weapon, although the commotion was shocking, pang Jing was relieved when he thought of the other party’s identity.
If it was Qin shujian.
It wasn’t anything strange.
As for the other disciples of the flying crane sect, under the cover of the thunderclouds, an uncontrollable fear rose in their hearts when they faced the might of the heavens.
This was a normal person.
The reverence for the power of the heavenly path.
It was just like how some people were naturally afraid of lightning.
Unless one’s strength had reached a certain level where one could change the world, it would be difficult for one to escape from this fear.
BOOM! BOOM!
Every half an hour or so, there would be a lightning strike.
The thundercloud only covered the sky above the flying crane sect, but the power it spread out was enough to cover the surrounding area.
Especially now.
The gathering of the experts of the various sects in the Chang Ning true domain would cause a huge commotion.
Even though the flying crane sect had conveyed Qin shujian’s intentions and indirectly rejected all the other sects, not all of them had left. There were still some who had stayed behind temporarily.
When the thunderclouds appeared.
Many people were secretly guessing if it had something to do with Qin shujian.
Three days.
…..
The lightning tribulation would strike down from time to time.
When the last lightning tribulation fell, the thunderclouds completely disappeared.
In the courtyard.
Qin shujian had already come out from the place where he had been in seclusion. Bai Hongze had also received the news at the first moment and had come over to meet him.
He did not wait for Qin shujian to speak.
“Sect master Qin, the Marchioness of the fallen Moon has sent an envoy here three days ago. She hopes to meet you. I wonder …” Bai Hongze said.
“The messenger of the Marchioness of the fallen Moon?” Qin shujian was a little confused, but he immediately figured out the general reason. He said, “”Where is the other party now?”
when the emissary heard that sect leader Qin was in seclusion, he stayed at the flying crane sect and never left.
“I, Qin, will go and meet him.”
Qin shujian nodded and said.
The reason why the Marchioness Moonfall had sent someone here was probably related to the matter of the moon-devouring demon monarch.
Since the other party had sent someone over and had waited for a few days, it was probably not a bad thing.
Moreover …
The Marchioness of the fallen Moon was quite powerful. Since she had politely sent someone, there was no need for him to slap her in the face.
This was completely different from rejecting the other sects.
After getting Qin shujian’s approval …
Within the main hall of the flying crane sect.
The sect leader, Bai Hongze, was also seated on the main seat. However, when it came to true status, he was not as high as Qin shujian and pang Jing.
But in the flying crane sect.
The other party was the one with the highest status.
As for Qin shujian and pang Jing, they didn’t have any intention of usurping the host.
&Nbsp; so,
The two of them sat down on the left and right.
After he sat down, pang Jing immediately cupped his hands and said politely, “”This pang has come under the orders of the Marquis. It just so happened that sect master Qin was in closed door cultivation and was unable to meet him. Meeting him today can be said to have fulfilled one of my wishes.”
“You’re too polite, envoy.” Qin shujian smiled faintly. may I know why the Marquis of the fallen Moon has sent you here this time? ” he asked.
sect master Qin has killed demon monarch moon Devourer and strengthened the prestige of the human race. When the Marquis heard of this, he was very happy. Therefore, he ordered me to bring some rewards to sect master Qin.
Pang Jing had wanted to say reward.
But after thinking about it, he felt that this word was a little disrespectful.
No matter what, the other party was an expert who had killed a Demon King. It was fine for the Marquis of the fallen Moon to say this, but it was inevitably a little disrespectful to say it from his mouth.
Upon hearing this.
Qin shujian thought to himself, ” as expected.
This was not too different from the original guess in his heart.
Pang Jing had really come here because of the moon-devouring Demon King.
However, Qin shujian was surprised.
Marchioness Moonfall still had something for him.
After pang Jing finished speaking, he took out a storage ring and said, “”Inside are 50 kilograms of ninth-grade forging materials and five spirit stones. Please accept them, sect master Qin.”
While he was speaking.
His quintessential essence had already supported the storage ring and delivered it to Qin shujian.
As for Bai Hongze …
He had a shocked expression on his face.
50 kilograms of ninth-grade forging materials, five spirit stones.
These two things.
Even if the entire flying crane sect was emptied out, they would not be able to take out any of these items.
Especially the spirit stones.
To the current flying crane sect, there was only one.
And this was hundreds of years ago.
The previous sect leader of the flying crane sect had obtained this spirit stone from God knows where and buried it in the sect.
At this point.
Only then did the spirit Qi in flying crane sect gradually increase.
By now, they already had the foundation that a great sect of the true Dominion should have.
And this …
It was just the effect of a spirit stone.
From then on, for hundreds of years, the flying crane sect had not had the chance to obtain another spirit stone.
Now, Marchioness Moonfall was offering five spirit stones.
How could Bai Hongze not be shocked?
But,
He was just shocked, but he didn’t have any other thoughts.
He reached out and took the storage ring.
Qin shujian’s expression was also a little shocked. However, he was not the Liangshan stronghold chieftain he had been in the beginning. Although five spirit stones and a hundred catties of stage nine materials were a lot, he did not lose his composure on the spot.
He kept the storage ring with practiced ease.
A smile hung on his face as he cupped his hands and said, “”I’m ashamed to accept Marchioness Moonfall’s good intentions. As a human, I naturally have no reason to stand by and watch the demons ravage our human territory.
Killing demon monarch moondevourer is just part of my duty.”
“Sect leader Qin’s righteousness is admirable.”
The corners of pang Jing’s mouth twitched when he saw Qin shujian putting away the storage ring. He immediately replied with a smile.
The atmosphere that followed.
It would be much easier.
Pang Jing’s main mission this time was to hand the item over to Qin shujian and express the Marquis of the fallen moon’s goodwill. Even if he couldn’t win the Marquis of the fallen Moon over to the fallen Moon mansion, he still had to make the Marquis of the fallen Moon mansion have a good impression of the mansion.
As for Qin shujian’s words …
The other party was kind enough to send him things, and they were all things he needed.
This way …
He didn’t have any reason to give others a hard time.
Hence, he was all smiles to pang Jing.
After some discussion.
Pang Jing stood up and cupped his hands. now that this is over, I have to go back and report. I can’t stay any longer. If you have the time, you can come to Zhaoyuan City. The Marquis also wants to meet you.
“Alright!”
