Chapter 326 - 173: The Regretful Princess Sheng, Divine Soul Transforms Again, Demon Town
Demon Suppression Bureau, Zhang Juzheng’s hands trembled as he held the waist token, his whole body was chilled to the bone.
The token in his hand continued to relay messages:
"Elder of Divine Sword Sect, Elder of Celestial Eagle Castle, Elder of Moonlight Hall, Wu Shiping from Prisoner Dragon Stronghold, regardless of their identity, Wei Fan has killed them all!"
Taking a deep breath to calm his tumultuous emotions, Zhang Juzheng sent another message: "Are you sure you’re not joking with me, that one person killed twenty Divine Realm Martial Sects, is Wei Fan perhaps a Martial Venerable?"
He began to suspect that Liu Jingxiang was spinning tales for him.
"Sir, Wei Fan is not a Martial Venerable, but he is more terrifying than one."
On the other side, Liu Jingxiang’s fear seemed to have eased, and he no longer rambled.
Yes, in his view, Wei Fan was indeed more terrifying than a Martial Venerable. For most Martial Venerables, their potential has peaked, but for Wei Fan, a Martial Venerable is just the beginning.
Comparing a Martial Venerable to Wei Fan, isn’t that just mocking Wei Fan?
"Sir, also, Long Jianying has returned, successfully refining a Golden Body, and has become a Martial Venerable Powerhouse. He asked me to tell you that he has noted your grudge against Su City."
Zhang Juzheng’s face darkened. He could hardly believe that Wei Fan singlehandedly wiped out twenty Divine Realm Martial Sects, but he had no doubt that the madman Long Jianying had become a Martial Venerable Powerhouse.
"Noted, so what if he did, even as a Martial Venerable, he is just a Commander!"
Not to mention Long Jianying is only a Commander. Even if he became a Garrison Commander, his rank would be the same as Zhang Juzheng’s.
"Sir, Huo Tianzheng has also broken through to become a Martial Venerable Powerhouse!"
Zhang Juzheng’s hand shook, nearly tossing the waist token away.
Huo Tianzheng, that old scoundrel, has also become a Martial Venerable. He finally felt a bit troubled. Unlike Long Jianying, Huo Tianzheng is a Demon Hunter, and his power is useless against him.
"What other news do you have? Speak clearly all at once!"
Huo Tianzheng and Long Jianying, along with Pei Shinan, would constantly oppose him as three Martial Venerables.
The most daunting is still Huo Tianzheng, the Demon Hunter.
Because Demon Hunters don’t truly belong to the Great Victory Dynasty, so many things can be done without regard to rules, nor do they need to give face to the Great Victory Dynasty.
"Previously, the Blood Cloud Sect Leader, Blood Venerable, appeared, but was driven back by Long Jianying, Huo Tianzheng, and Wei Fan together. Now Wei Fan has vanished again."
Zhang Juzheng’s expression changed repeatedly as Liu Jingxiang mentioned Wei Fan once again, this time fighting against Blood Venerable and teaming up with Long Jianying and Huo Tianzheng to repel him.
He slowly put away the waist token.
If Liu Jingxiang hasn’t exaggerated his words, he seems to have provoked an unparalleled demon.
"No, this issue started because of the Prime Minister, I can’t bear it alone!"
Zhang Juzheng stood up and disappeared from the Demon Suppression Bureau.
On this day, the Great Victory Dynasty was shaken, and the tumultuous incident of the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill finally concluded.
Demon Hunter Wei Fan appeared, single-handedly slaughtering twenty Divine Realm Martial Sects who coveted his Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, shocking the entire Great Victory Dynasty.
In less than half a day, the news spread like a storm through the Great Victory Dynasty, even reaching other dynasties.
The fall of twenty Divine Realm Martial Sects set the martial level of the Great Victory Dynasty back by decades.
On that day, seven or eight top-level forces within the Great Victory Dynasty witnessed the shattering of soul tokens. Martial Venerable Powerhouses were furious, and it is said that that day four or five Martial Venerable Powerhouses rushed to Su City to find Wei Fan, only to discover that he had disappeared once again, whereabouts unknown.
...
Prince Sheng’s Mansion!
Yue Shengfang awoke from her nap: "Have Xiaoyue come see me!"
Xiaoyue was one of her maids, serving her since childhood, and after marrying into Prince Sheng’s Mansion, she brought Xiaoyue along.
As the Princess Consort, Yue Shengfang was not lacking in scheming and manipulation.
Victory King was intent on vying for the throne, and she fully supported him, also wanting to become the woman who could rule the world.
This maid Xiaoyue no longer served her directly but was responsible for gathering intelligence from all over the dynasty, which Yue Shengfang would analyze for Victory King’s use.
"This servant greets the Princess Consort!"
In a short while, Xiaoyue appeared before Yue Shengfang.
Yue Shengfang nodded, dismissing the other maids, then looked at Xiaoyue: "Has anything happened today?"
Xiaoyue replied: "Princess Consort, the defense line at Shanhai County in Qingzhou has been breached by Demon Fiends, the General of Qingzhou has requested reinforcements from the Demon Suppression Bureau!"
Yue Shengfang’s eyes lit up: "The General of Qingzhou was an old friend of my father, and he has been unwilling to take a stand. If Victory King can lend a hand in this matter, perhaps we can win him over."
In the struggle for the throne, one must garner the support of various civil and military officials.
There aren’t many Generals of One Province like the General of Qingzhou who haven’t taken sides. Winning over one gives us a greater grasp of the situation.
Sending her brother to Tongzhou was also an attempt to win over Pei Shinan.
"By the way, hasn’t the matter of the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill been resolved yet?"
Thinking of her brother, she was reminded of Wei Fan’s situation.
Wei Fan and Long Jianying were both targets she aimed to win over, and upon learning of Wei Fan’s situation, she initially planned to wait a few days before having Victory King intervene.
In this way, not only could she gain the favor of this genius Wei Fan, but also the goodwill of Long Jianying and Pei Shinan.
But after Zhang Juzheng and the Prime Minister got involved, she gave up on Wei Fan.
Although Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng was not a supporter of Victory King, he was an ally. It wouldn’t be wise to offend his faction over a single Divine Realm Martial Sect.
Maid Xiaoyue shook her head: "It hasn’t ended, it’s just beginning."
She softly said: "Princess Consort, it seems we made a mistake."
As Yue Shengfang’s confidante, Xiaoyue naturally knew some of her schemes and plans.
Yue Shengfang was taken aback: "What do you mean, speak!"
