Chapter 403: Little Saint Peak
The tragic state of the Qingyang Saint surprised the Emperor and his companions.

Even the sect leader of Qingyun Sect is no exception.

It should be noted that the Qingyang Saint is a renowned saint who has been established for a long time. He is the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect, and his strength ranks among the top in the entire Eastern Region.

They were all very curious: who could have injured the Qingyang Saint so badly and even cut off his arm?
Facing the gazes of the Emperor of the Dynasty and the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect, the Sage Qingyang coughed lightly and said, "It is a Sage of the Great Zhou."

"The Great Zhou killed four elders of my Qingyun Sect. I went to the Great Zhou to demand an explanation, and I happened to run into a fellow Daoist from the Ziyang Sect..."

"Originally, the two of us joined forces, thinking we could deal with the sage of the Great Zhou."

"But unexpectedly, the Great Zhou's Sage was extremely powerful, at the peak of the Lesser Sage realm. Even the two of us combined couldn't withstand two of his strikes..."

"In the end, the fellow Daoists of the Ziyang Sect were killed by the sages of the Great Zhou, while I was spared by the loss of an arm and managed to escape."

The Sage of Qingyang gave a general account of the matter.

Of course, the Sage of Qingyang did not say that he was going to destroy the Great Zhou to seek revenge; he only said that he was going to the Great Zhou to seek justice.

But who among those present was a fool? Everyone understood what it meant: they were just going to seek revenge by bullying the weak!

They thought they could easily defeat the Great Zhou, but in the end, their attempt to steal a chicken backfired, they were caught off guard, and instead of killing someone, they were tortured.

"So, this means that the Supreme Elder of my Ziyang Sect was killed by a Sage of the Great Zhou Dynasty and perished in the Great Zhou?"

The sect leader of the Ziyang Sect looked at the Qingyang Saint with an extremely gloomy expression.

Although the sect leader of Ziyang Sect had already confirmed the matter through the life tablet of the sect's supreme elder, he still wanted to confirm it.

"That's right, Fellow Zi fell in the Great Zhou, killed by the Great Zhou Sage."

The Sage of Qingyang nodded, his face extremely pale and listless.

Even now, when the Sage of Qingyang recalls Guan Yu's unstoppable strike that seemed to annihilate the stars and the moon, he still feels lingering fear.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and used all his strength to dodge the knife.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as losing an arm; he would have perished like the Supreme Elder of the Ziyang Sect.

Upon hearing the words of the Sage Qingyang, the Emperor of the Dynasty and the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect both wore solemn expressions.

The peak of the Lesser Saint.

They knew better than anyone what this strength represented.

Because they were all at the peak of the Lesser Saint realm, they were basically at the pinnacle of the entire Eastern Region.

Apart from a handful of reclusive ancestors, a peak Lesser Saint possesses absolute power capable of suppressing the entire Eastern Region, standing at the very top of the Eastern Region's pyramid.

Saints are also divided into strong and weak, and are divided into nine heavens. One heaven is the one that comprehends a complete law of heaven and earth.

Those in the first to third heavens are minor saints, those in the fourth to sixth heavens are great saints, and those in the seventh to ninth heavens are saint kings.

Afterwards, the nine laws merged into one Great Dao, becoming the Emperor, who ruled over a region of heaven and earth.

The Emperor of the Dynasty and the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect had no idea that, in this Eastern Region, besides themselves, there was actually a peak Lesser Saint.

Furthermore, this powerful figure at the peak of the Lesser Saint realm is also a member of the dynasty, which is truly astonishing.

The emperor's eyes gleamed.

His third son died in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This Great Zhou Dynasty, a mere dynasty that merged into the Great Wilderness, not only gathered national fortune and brought it to fruition, but also had powerful figures like the peak of Half-Saint and Lesser Saint.

He had previously sent people to investigate the death of the Third Prince.

Judging from the information coming back from various sources, the death of the Third Prince should not have been caused by the Great Zhou.

But now, after hearing what the Qingyang Saint said and learning that there was a Lesser Saint at the peak in the Great Zhou, the Emperor had to wonder if the death of his Third Prince was really unrelated to the Great Zhou.

However, whether the death of the Third Prince was related to the Great Zhou Dynasty or not is no longer important.

The important thing is that the Third Prince died in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that's enough.

Everything related to the death of the Third Prince will be completely erased.

This is the domineering nature of his dynasty.

Moreover, the Great Zhou's conquest of the Great Yue and Great Yan, disregarding the ironclad laws of his dynasty, and consolidating the nation's destiny, was already a provocation against the authority of his dynasty. Anyone who dares to challenge the authority of his dynasty and shake its prestige will only face one outcome—death.

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen sat upright on the dragon throne, his gaze deep in thought.

"I wonder if Guan Yu will be able to kill that sage of the Qingyun Sect."

Zhou Chen was not worried about Guan Yu going after that sage from the Qingyun Sect.

With Guan Yu's strength, even if something went wrong, he would have no problem protecting himself.

Zhou Chen's only hope was that Guan Yu could kill that sage of the Qingyun Sect.

Since we have already formed a deadly feud with the Ziyang Sect and the Qingyun Sect, we should do our best to weaken their strength.

The Ziyang Sect and Qingyun Sect have sent two Saints this time, and these two Saints are the top combat forces of the Ziyang Sect and Qingyun Sect respectively.

Even top sects like the Ziyang Sect and the Qingyun Sect probably don't have much in the way of a sage.

If these two saints could be killed, it would be a major blow to the Ziyang Sect and the Qingyun Sect.

Just as Zhou Chen was deep in thought, a palace eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, General Guan is requesting an audience outside the palace."

"Oh!"

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up.

"Announce him to come in."

"According to the order."

The eunuchs and guards bowed and withdrew.

moment.

Guan Yu then entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Your Majesty, this humble general was unable to kill that sage of the Qingyun Sect."

"Just as I was about to catch up with that Qingyun Sect Saint, several auras that were no weaker than mine appeared, so I had no choice but to turn back."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Upon entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Guan Yu bowed and apologized.

"Didn't they catch up?"

Zhou Chenliang's eyes flickered for a moment, and he felt a little regretful.

Zhou Chen had originally hoped that Guan Yu could kill that sage of the Qingyun Sect!

But unexpectedly, the sage of the Qingyun Sect managed to escape in the end.

"If we didn't catch up, we didn't catch up!"

"Anyway, he lost an arm and was seriously injured, so he's basically useless for the time being."

Zhou Chen said slowly.

Although sages possess various supernatural powers, such as the ability to regenerate severed arms, there are prerequisites for this.

The sage of Qingyun Sect had his arm severed by Guan Yu, and the wound was imbued with Guan Yu's power of law.

If the Sage of Qingyun wants to regenerate his severed arm, he must first eliminate the power of the laws left behind by Guan Yu. Only then will he have the opportunity to regenerate his severed arm, which is not so easy.

Moreover, the sage of the Qingyun Sect suffered serious injuries.

When a sage is injured, recovery is not so simple.

In other words, the Qingyun Sect has lost the combat power of a Saint, which is acceptable.
