The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 573
Chapter 573 To Great Zhou
Currently, there were a total of six countries in the Central Region. Among them, Zhao, Wei, and Chu were the weakest. They occupied the territories of the Qing and Yang Continents. Their territories were small, and they fought in chaotic battles all year round.
Further west, there were three other countries, Great Zhou, Great Qin, and Great Qian!
Great Zhou occupied the land of the four continents, Great Qin occupied the land of the three continents, and as for the last Da Qian… its area was incredibly small, leaving only a mere city.
However, no one in the world dared to underestimate Daqian Dynasty even in such a city, because this city was precisely the place that was known as the center of heaven and earth-Tian Yuan City!
The Great Zhou Dynasty had attacked Tian Yuan City for nearly a hundred years, but they still hadn’t been able to defeat it.
In fact, Daqian Dynasty’s area wasn’t as small as it was at the beginning. A thousand years ago, it was once the largest country in the entire Central Region, almost reaching the level of unifying the Central Region.
However, it was a pity that the Great Zhou Dynasty had risen to power and defeated Da Qian in succession. They had invaded its territory until now, leaving only one city standing in the middle of the heavens and earth.
…
In the sky, a large golden bird was rushing towards the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Li Qing, Liu Ke’er and Xiao Bai sat on the back of the bird. The long journey made them a little bored, and their eyes casually looked at the endless earth below.
“Xiao Jin, are you tired?” Li Qing asked.
The Golden-winged Roc shook its head vigorously, let out a cheerful cry, flapped its wings a few more times, and its speed soared again.
“Looks like your strength has improved after cultivating that demon art. Soaring in the sky makes you feel free.” Li Qing smiled.
The Golden Winged Roc’s current body was the size of a house, and its strength was even stronger than that of an ordinary Xiantian expert. Carrying the three of them was naturally just a small matter.
“We’re about to fly out of the Yangzhou border. We’re about to enter Jizhou. That’s the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.”
“After entering the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, where should we go first?” Liu Ke’er asked.
“Ordinary small places are no longer worth entering. Why don’t we go to the largest city in Jizhou, Jizhou City?” Li Qing said.
After Golden Winged Dapeng flew into the Jizhou region, he continued to fly for several hours. Soon, he saw many densely populated places, and he could faintly feel many powerful auras rising and falling within them.
“Huh?” Li Qing suddenly felt a fluctuation approaching from behind him and couldn’t help but turn his head to look.
In the distance, a towering ship broke through the air and crushed the waves of air. There were a large number of beautiful women on the ship. On the second deck of the ship sat a fair-skinned noble young master. Beside him, there were three beautiful women knocking on their legs and rubbing their shoulders.
That noble young master was dressed in scarlet clothes, holding wine in his hand. He glanced in Li Qing’s direction and ignored it.
Hu!
The large ship whistled away and quickly disappeared from Li Qing’s sight.
“The speed of this ship is really fast. I’m afraid it can be considered outstanding amongst flying treasures.” Li Qing sighed.
The Golden-winged Roc seemed to be somewhat unconvinced and let out a few soft cries.
Li Qing smiled and said, “Don’t be dissatisfied. Your current strength is still too weak. It is far from reaching the level of a mature body. There is still a long way to go before you reach the peak. Tianpeng is extremely fast. It refers to an adult Tianpeng, not a bird like you.”
“The closer we get to Jizhou City, the easier it is to encounter Void Realm experts,” Liu Ke’er said. “Just now, it was already the third Void Realm expert we met.”
“This place is at least the most prosperous place in the Central Region, and Jizhou City is the largest city in this region. What’s the big deal about meeting a few Void Realm experts?” Li Qing smiled.
There were many experts gathered there, and there were many treasures that could be exchanged. Naturally, it attracted countless people.
Moreover, Jizhou City’s security was very good, but they could cultivate in peace, so many people settled there.
“We’re almost in Jizhou City. Let’s descend from here. Otherwise, if someone recognizes Xiao Jin’s identity, they might think of something.” Li Qing said.
Very quickly, they chose a quiet forest and landed on the ground.
“Xiao Jin, are you going to play somewhere else by yourself, or are you going to cultivate in Yin-yang Chaos Bottle?” Li Qing asked.
Xiao Jin pointed at the sky with his wings.
“Alright, what a playful fellow. However, you must be careful and avoid humans as much as possible so that they won’t catch you.”
Xiao Jin nodded.
Li Qing took out a jade pendant and hung it around its neck. He said, “If you encounter any danger, break this jade pendant. I will naturally feel it.”
“Go.”
Xiao Jin flew into the sky and disappeared.
“Ke’er, I want to see if you need to adjust as well.” He turned around and said.
“What should I adjust?” Liu Ke’er was puzzled.
“Uh, for example, wear a veil or something to cover your face, so as not to provoke a prodigal disciple.”
“So it’s because I’m afraid of getting into trouble.” Liu Ke’er covered her mouth and smiled, recalling what had happened back then.
“Alright, who told me to be so beautiful?” She said proudly, raising her head slightly like a beautiful swan.
“Yes, yes, my family’s Ke’er is the most beautiful. Wherever she goes, she will attract the attention of others.” Li Qing smiled.
Very quickly, Liu Ke’er put on a veil and hid her peerless appearance. However, that graceful figure was still unconsciously attractive.
“Let’s go, set off for Jizhou City!” The three of them walked over.
“Eh? What’s going on? Someone seems to be fighting in front of us.” Li Qing looked ahead. According to the strength and general direction of the fluctuations, it should be a group of Xiantian experts fighting.
He released his divine sense and enveloped the forest in front of him, giving him a panoramic view of what was happening inside.
…
“We are the disciples of the Mo Clan. Who are you to dare to attack us!” A handsome and fair young man shouted angrily. Beside him was a beautiful woman with a slender figure and a simple and honest looking young man with a tiger’s back and a bear’s waist.
The three of them were trying their best to deal with the attack in front of them, while the two men in black were attacking them.
These two black-clothed men were obviously much stronger. They could easily trap the three of them one after the other with less strikes and more strikes. Their faces revealed a joking expression of catching mice and cats.
“Aren’t you afraid of the consequences? Once my father finds out, he will definitely kill you two bastards.” The handsome white youth said angrily.
“If the two of you leave, our clan will not seek revenge for this small matter. But if we die, the Mo clan will definitely investigate to the end.” The graceful woman was also shouting at him angrily.
Only the simple and honest young man remained silent and slashed down fiercely with a huge axe in his hand.
“Senior Brother, the clothes of these three people are indeed Mo Clan’s.” The two black-clothed men sent mentally to each other, “Kill or not?”
“You don’t understand. The Mo clan’s true status is high. They are traveling servants, maids, and guards. Even if these three people are from the Mo clan, they are still collateral disciples of the clan. So what if they are killed?”
“Alright.”
As soon as the two black-clothed men agreed, they immediately attacked, and their attacks became much more fierce.
“Not good!” The faces of the three changed drastically.
The three of them were indeed descendants of the Mo Clan, and the Mo Clan was also a large clan in Jizhou. They were powerful, had a deep foundation, and had a wide range of powers.
However, as a top clan, it had an unbelievably large number of people, and the internal strife was also very fierce. Its main resources were all leaning towards the powerful genius disciples. All three of them had average aptitudes, and their backgrounds were considered low in the clan. They were not valued, and it was difficult for them to learn even the top techniques.
Therefore, after breaking through to the Xiantian realm, they immediately came out together, wanting to go to Jizhou City and join a sect to seek development.
Originally, the three of them had barely managed to hold on when working together, but when the two black-clothed men no longer held back, the Mo Clan’s three immediately felt extremely exhausted.
“I can’t hold on any longer!”
“Pu.” A white sword was used to suppress the enemy, but the impact still made Mo Yu vomit a mouthful of blood on the spot.
“Xiao Yu!” The simple and honest man beside him, Mo Yan, was extremely anxious. He gritted his teeth and his face flushed red. His aura suddenly surged. The speed at which he brandished his giant axe suddenly soared and he frantically slashed towards the two black-clothed men.
“Hurry up and leave, you hurry up and leave!” Mo Yan howled.
“Stone!”
Mo Yu’s expression changed. Of course, she could tell that Mo Yan had already used the forbidden technique. They were going to join a sect. Using the forbidden technique had damaged their foundations, so it would be difficult for them to join a better sect.
“Hurry up and leave!” Mo Yan was like crazy.
“Still not leaving!” The fair-skinned youth beside him was the first to turn into a streak of light and flee. Mo Yu gritted her teeth and followed suit.
“You want to escape?” The two black-clothed men only sneered when they saw this. It was delusional for them to want to escape so easily.
Pu! Pu!
Right at this moment, two stones suddenly shot over from afar. They were as fast as lightning and directly passed through the heads of the two black-clothed men.
“It can’t be!”
The two black-clothed men’s eyes widened in disbelief. The power of these two stones could actually reach this level?
They had plundered many times and were experienced. They were even more vigilant when fighting, but they didn’t expect to die so easily under the two stones.
Fresh blood splashed everywhere, faintly mixed with a trace of white.
The bodies of the two black-clothed men softened, and they fell to the ground without any sound.
“Kill! Kill!” The simple and honest man, Mo Yan, was like a madman, still waving his giant axe, and then looked at him in astonishment…
Two men in black fell to the ground?
Dead?
“This … what’s going on?” Mo Yan felt puzzled.
Mo Jun, who was fleeing quickly, glanced behind him and saw the two black-clothed figures lying on the ground in the distance. With his Xiantian expert’s vision, he could clearly see the traces of blood on the ground.
“Sister Yu!” Mo Jun even sent mentally, “Don’t run away, those two bandits are dead.”
Mo Yu couldn’t help but stop. He turned around and saw that there were indeed two silhouettes lying behind him in the distance.
“Let’s go take a look.” Mo Jun said hurriedly.
The two of them quickly flew back to the place where they had fought before. Both of them had doubts on their faces as they looked at the simple and honest man, Mo Yan, who was standing at the side in a daze.
“Stone, what’s going on? Why are they dead?”
Hu!
Flames appeared in the surroundings. The flames enveloped the two robbers and burned their corpses.
“How did flames appear out of thin air?” The three men and women of the Mo clan were all shocked.
A few figures walked out of the forest, a man and a woman, and a little girl. The man gently waved his hand, and the spatial rings left behind by the two robbers after the burning were all put away.
