Chapter 163 - 161: Issuing a Challenge_1
This made Wang Shou feel as if his perception was wrong! According to the intelligence of the Divine Court, the most powerful Martial Artist in the Nine Great Dao Domains was the fallen Impermanence Saint, who possessed Great Saint Level cultivation. But within the grand hall, there was a Supreme Saint, a Great Saint, and several Mid-Saints. What about the powerhouses outside the hall?
"Wang Shou, envoy of the Divine Light Court, pays respect to Your Majesty!" Wang Shou greeted him respectfully. The strength of the Qin Empire was enough to make him treat it with caution, even placing it on an equal footing.
Minglong stood to the side, not saluting. However, seeing Wang Shou’s respectful demeanor, he also refrained from acting offensively. He was just arrogant, but not foolish!
Early-stage Saint Realm... his strength isn’t bad! He looked at Qin Wudao, secretly probing his strength and was inwardly astonished. Such a genius from the insignificant Nine Great Dao Domains? Incredible!
"You are an envoy of the Divine Court. Attendants, bring him a seat!" Qin Wudao’s majestic voice echoed through the grand hall, his eyes falling on Minglong. His strength was not greater than Minglong’s, but as an earth-level Alchemist with formidable soul power, he could clearly sense Minglong’s subtle movements.
Two eunuchs brought chairs, placing them respectfully behind Minglong and Wang Shou.
"Many thanks, Your Majesty!" Wang Shou glanced at the stool but did not sit. He said seriously, "I heard that during the Sand Scorpion Clan invasion, your kingdom employed a powerful military formation capable of repelling Saint King Realm experts. Might I be allowed to take it back to the Divine Court for examination?"
A military formation! Qin Wudao’s pupils constricted slightly. He had speculated that the Divine Light Court’s visit was related to the Sand Scorpion Clan, but he never imagined they were after the Four Divine Beasts Formation! However, on second thought, it all clicked. The Divine Light Court’s strongest Martial Artists were merely at the Saint King Realm. The Great Qin’s possession of a military formation that could defeat Saint King Realm experts likely made the Divine Light Court extremely uneasy. Their desire to obtain it was understandable.
"Envoy Wang, you jest. The military formation is fundamental to the Qin Empire’s survival. As the sovereign of this nation, how could I possibly hand over our ’foundation’, just as your esteemed Divine Light Court would not allow me to peruse the "Divine Light Scripture"?" Qin Wudao refused coolly, his tone indifferent.
At the same time, he felt a sense of helplessness! Possessing a treasure truly is a magnet for trouble! To think that even the military formation would be coveted. Thank goodness I didn’t reveal the ’Spirit Tree’, otherwise...
