Chapter 398 Guan Yu, the Martial Saint

Qingyun Sect.

The atmosphere inside the sect's main hall was extremely gloomy.

Whether it was the Qingyun Sect Master in the main seat or the elders sitting below, their faces were all gloomy.

One invincible demigod, and three advanced demigods.

All four semi-saint elders died just like that.

Although these four semi-saint elders are nearing the end of their lives, have exhausted their potential, and have retired to the background to await their death, they are still the foundation of the Qingyun Sect and its high-end combat power.

The loss of four people at once is a significant blow, even for a top sect like the Qingyun Sect.

Upon hearing the Second Elder's words, the Qingyun Sect Master looked at the other elders present and asked, "What do you all think?"

"Sect Master, the dignity of my Qingyun Sect cannot be challenged, and the elders of my Qingyun Sect cannot die in vain."

"Even if a mere dynasty has four invincible half-saints, if they dare to kill four elders of my Qingyun Sect, they will be destroyed."

The elder said in a cold voice.

"Yes."

"As a top sect in the Eastern Region, even the imperial dynasty has to give my Qingyun Sect some face."

"But the Great Zhou Dynasty actually dared to kill four elders of my Qingyun Sect. If my Qingyun Sect doesn't destroy the Great Zhou, how will outsiders view my Qingyun Sect in the future?"

The remaining elders then spoke up.

They were somewhat shocked that the Great Zhou had four invincible half-saints, but they didn't care much.

In their view, the Qingyun Sect was the top sect in the Eastern Region, and there was nothing in this small territory of the Eastern Region that could make the Qingyun Sect have any concerns.

So what if the Great Zhou Dynasty has four invincible demigods?
Four invincible half-saints might be very strong in the eyes of ordinary forces, but in the eyes of a top sect in the Eastern Region like the Qingyun Sect, they are nothing more than slightly larger ants.

Anyone who dares to kill four elders of his Qingyun Sect and challenge the prestige of his Qingyun Sect must die, even if there are four invincible half-saints.

……

at the same time.

The Grand Elder of the Ziyang Sect also fled back to the Ziyang Sect.

A majestic voice echoed from the main hall: "Very well. A dynasty actually dares to kill three elders of my Ziyang Sect. They have quite the audacity."

The flat voice echoed in the hall, exuding a strong sense of coldness.

The elders present all had gloomy faces and cold eyes.

As a top sect in the Eastern Region, no one has ever dared to challenge the prestige of the Ziyang Sect in this way.

First they killed his true disciple from the Ziyang Sect, and now they've killed three of his semi-saint elders from the Ziyang Sect…

If the Ziyang Sect doesn't destroy the Great Zhou, people will think it's a sick tiger! And any Tom, Dick, or Harry will dare to provoke it.

"Sect Master, the Great Zhou killed three elders of my Ziyang Sect and also has four invincible half-saints with considerable combat power. If we want to deal with these four invincible half-saints, we can only ask the Supreme Elder to take action."

The elders all looked at the Ziyang Sect Master in the main seat.

The Ziyang Sect also has several invincible half-saints, among whom the Grand Elder is the top among the invincible half-saints.

However, even the Grand Elder, a top-tier invincible half-saint, was no match for the invincible half-saints of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even the combined forces of the nine half-saints could not defeat the three invincible half-saints of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Then we can only ask the Supreme Elder, who is above the level of a Half-Saint, to take action.

otherwise.

They would have to send most of their semi-saint forces to the Great Zhou, but this could result in the loss of Ziyang Sect's high-end combat power.

"Yes, I will discuss this matter with the Supreme Elder later."

The sect leader of Ziyang Sect nodded.

Four invincible half-saints are indeed difficult to deal with. Surely the elders of his Ziyang Sect can't all come out in force!
The only option is to ask the Supreme Elder to take action and eliminate it.

……

Just as the Qingyun Sect and the Ziyang Sect were discussing sending their Supreme Elders to the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou's national fortune suddenly surged and surged.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen sat upright on the dragon throne, sensing the changing fortunes of the nation above the palace, his eyes flashing. "It seems that Lü Bu and Yang Zaixing have succeeded."

A slight smile appeared on Zhou Chen's lips.

A nation's fortune can only increase dramatically through territorial expansion.

Needless to say, it's likely that Lü Bu and Yang Zaixing have already taken over the royal families of other dynasties.

"Now that the nation's fortunes have improved, we can start this month's check-in."

Zhou Chen's eyes flickered, and his mind became absorbed in the system.

The month-long sign-in period had already ended several days ago.

However, Zhou Chen did not sign in immediately.

Zhou Chen knew that the stronger the nation's fortune, the stronger the ability to produce outstanding individuals through signing in.

Therefore, Zhou Chen had been waiting for Lü Bu and Yang Zaixing to make their move, waiting for the fate of the nation to change.

Now that the nation's fortunes have surged, Zhou Chen can start his monthly check-in.

"Ding... Do you want to start checking in?"

As Zhou Chen's mind was immersed in the system, a mechanical voice sounded.

"Sign in."

Zhou Chen silently recited it in his mind.

【Ding……】

[Check-in successful.]

[Congratulations, host, on gaining the loyalty of the valiant general Guan Yu.]

Guan Yu?

Guan Yu?
A glint of light flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes, and a look of delight spread across his face.

Guan Yu is a household name, a top general in the Three Kingdoms period. His Green Dragon Crescent Blade was second only to Lü Bu and Zhao Yun in the entire Three Kingdoms era.

Most importantly, Guan Yu was loyal and righteous. In the entire Three Kingdoms period, and even among all the outstanding figures of the past, those who could match Guan Yu's loyalty and righteousness were extremely rare.

That cunning and ruthless figure from the Three Kingdoms period went to great lengths to try and keep Guan Yu by his side.

He even went so far as to give Red Hare to Guan Yu, but in the end, that cunning villain still couldn't keep Guan Yu.

Despite his loyalty and righteousness, Guan Yu passed through five checkpoints and defeated six generals, but still returned to the side of the weeping emperor.

It can be said that Liu Paopao, the "Crying Emperor," was able to eventually divide the country into three kingdoms, and half of the credit should go to the unparalleled loyalty and righteousness of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Unfortunately, even such a loyal and righteous hero ultimately suffered a crushing defeat and died at the hands of a nobody, thus cementing the other's reputation as a master of capturing feathers.

Zhou Chen never expected that the outstanding person who signed in this time would be Guan Yu, who underwent bone-scraping surgery and was unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness.

A figure appeared in front of Zhou Chen.

"Guan Yu greets Your Majesty."

After Guan Yu appeared, he bowed to Zhou Chen, who was on the dragon throne.

His tone was respectful, yet not without arrogance.

That long, beautiful beard instantly exuded an air of power.

However, the color of the hat on his head was somewhat comical.

Zhou Chen glanced at Guan Yu, waved his hand, and said, "Yun Chang, there's no need for such formalities."

Seeing the color of the hair on Guan Yu's temples, Zhou Chen chuckled inwardly; it was indeed green.

However, upon seeing Guan Yu's strength, Zhou Chen's eyes lit up, and he nodded in satisfaction.

Lord Guan, the God of War.

It truly lives up to its name.
