"Given ti, and undergoing so tempering, with skills in military strategy and formation techniques, this child’s attainnts... shall naturally be on par with the ’Last Great Profound Martial Saint’ of years past, giving him no reason to fear!"
"Qiankun, when this marquis leads troops to charge the ’Tongye,’ if you encounter people from the Demon Hunting Departnt, or even the Great Demon Hunter Master, you must rember, rember, to treat them with respect."
"Such an outstanding figure... if he can be enlisted under my banner, even if the marquis has to split Tongye with him to rule, it would be no problem."
"Before rebelling against Great Yin, if this person can follow orders under my command, then... I shall present his achievents to King Yin and request that he be ennobled!"
"Suppressing demon calamities, bravery in the army, wielding troops like a deity... His title should be ’Champion,’ only that befits him!"
Whispers before coming to the Tongye Duke’s Mansion are still vivid in his mind.
Yet...
Looking at the wide courtyards filled with people from the Demon Hunting Departnt.
Facing the young man with unruly spirit who kneels down as the sword is suspended.
Li Qiankun’s eyes turned red instantly:
"Great Demon Hunter Master?"
Li Xuanzong was more baffled:
"Great Demon Hunter Master? Li... Li Treading Immortal?"
"Qing Shan Taoist, all of you?"
He looked at the Qing Shan Taoist beside him, who quickly kneeled on one knee, almost fainting.
He had speculated about the identity of the Great Demon Hunter Master all afternoon, guessing many people, even suspecting it was the embodint of ’Zuo Shanhe,’ but despite all the calculations...
Never expected.
This person...
Is his good half-brother, ’Li Treading Immortal’!
Thinking back not long ago, he said he had long been admiring this Divine Being, Li Xuanzong was at a loss for words.
Around him, the armor, soldiers, and those valiant commanders, all looked at each other in fright, more shocked:
"Fourth Young Master... is the one who slayed dragons, subdued flood dragons, repeatedly resolved Tongye Army’s crises, and crossed the Wei River four tis, raiding precious bottles, causing the Jing River Dragon King to redirect his forces and suffer great hardships, the Great Demon Hunter Master?"
"This..."
"During that battle, I was present, but unfortunately could only see the overwhelming crowd from afar, spotting the cape like sunset blood. I was still admiring then, pondering what kind of hero this was, but never expected..."
"Today, I witnessed his true appearance!"
"I had heard that Duchess Dong Hongshuang poisoned the Fourth Young Master’s mother out of jealousy, sixteen years ago."
"It is said, avenging one’s mother is a moral principle, compatible with filial piety."
"And the Third Young Master, during his ti in Divine Capital, according to rumors, repeatedly oppressed his half-brother."
"He relied on his identity, divine techniques, arrogantly and maliciously. Even during the escape, he wanted to use Fourth Young Master’s life as a substitute, such a person... If not killed, I would certainly die!"
"Fourth Young Master, being just a son of a concubine, with low status and little voice, in such a situation, what options are there left for him??"
Truth does not go unspread. As ti flies, it only leads to more people knowing.
But, knowing and keeping it hidden, versus speaking out openly in front of everyone, are two different matters.
Previously, those generals and civil servants at the Tongye Duke’s Mansion who heard the secrets, knew but dared not speak.
But those who had been to the battlefield, resisting the invasion of Jing River Dragon Court at the frontline... mostly had fought alongside the Demon Hunting Departnt, receiving favor from the Great Demon Hunter Master during the perilous collapse.
This mont, identity revealed.
Instantly, what previously could not be spoken, was now boldly declared.
This is the montum of power, sweeping invincible!
It was Jixia...
From the failure of ’Song Chai Xin’ in the previous life, the lesson learned.
Unite so people, assimilate so people, establish your own power, defeat so heretics!
Like this, even if facing a dead end, with the world as enemy, there will still be people who speak for you, stand by your side, seeing you as ’justice’!
Originally, swayed by Li Qiankun’s words, the soldiers’ expressions relaxed.
But after Li Treading Immortal revealed the Great Demon Hunter Master’s identity...
They hesitated, and once more pointed their weapons at Li Qiankun.
The direction of people’s hearts is the trend of power.
"Li..."
Li Qiankun gasped for breath, his face turning red, expression shifting continuously, staring at Jixia, after a while, he finally squeezed out a few words from between clenched teeth:
"Maternal uncle... originally admired the Great Demon Hunter Master’s ’Demon Slayer’ style, even claid if the Demon Hunting Departnt could be incorporated, would petition Great Yin to ennoble you as ’Champion Marquis,’ with ten thousand households."
"But..."
"Why..."
His elegant face contorted ferociously:
"Why is it you!?"
Whoosh!
Without hesitation.
Li Qiankun, with a streak of blood on his cheek, as he turned his hand, unleashed a burst of ’Primordial Pill’ energy, while the two Celestial masters hesitated montarily but eventually released their ’domains,’ lightning-fast pressing towards Jixia:
"Anyone else, I can reconcile."
"But only you..."
"You shattered Tongye Duke’s Mansion to pieces, killed my brother, father and Li Xuanzong did not pursue it, but I, Li Qiankun, cannot swallow this grievance!"
Boom!
Li Qiankun pushed the air with his palm, akin to Vajra’s Furious Gaze, his brows furrowing, glaring at Jixia with fierce energy, ready to strike before anyone could react.
Moreover, two Celestial beings released ’domain’ to oppress Li Treading Immortal, fully prepared and equipped!
Li Qiankun knows Jixia is the true disciple of Master Mountain and River, even deed the youngest Primordial Pill Martial Artist of a hundred years in Tongye, suspected of refining dragon and tiger, becoming a Celestial Being precursor.
But how old is he?
Even with extraordinary talent, along this path, his foundation must be unstable, despite his excellent cultivation technique, his footing cannot match those of the sa level.
If he is not killed, even if Marquis Hu Wei has reached Tongye Mansion’s doorstep.
