You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

"Master, why did you stop me from making a move just now?"

“They destroyed my Azure Dragon Dynasty and killed my father.”

After leaving Chang'an, Long Qianqian looked at the middle-aged beauty with a puzzled expression and a very unwilling tone.

She couldn't understand why her master had stopped her from taking action.

Although those people are very strong, in the eyes of Master, the Holy King, they should not be worth Master's fear.

"Qianqian, I've told you so many times, it's best not to make a move before you know the other party's background, unless you have no other choice."

"Your Azure Dragon Dynasty was one of the four great dynasties under the rule of the Imperial Court. Both of your ancestors were Great Saints, and your strength and foundation were not bad. But even under such circumstances, your Azure Dragon Dynasty was still destroyed. Do you know what this means?"

Stopping in her tracks, the middle-aged woman looked at Long Qianqian and said in a low voice, "This Great Zhou is not as simple as you think, and those people just now were not as simple as they seemed."

"Take that general who was guarding the emperor of the Great Zhou just now, for example. He made me feel quite threatened. I don't even know if there are any other powerful figures in the Great Zhou."

The middle-aged woman's expression turned somewhat solemn as she recalled the general who had just stood guard beside the Great Zhou Emperor.

That general put a lot of pressure on her and made her feel threatened.

Although the opponent only exuded the aura of a Great Sage, it was enough to make even a Saint King like her feel threatened, which was enough to show that the opponent was not simple.

This is one of the reasons why she stopped Long Qianqian from taking action and turned to leave.

"what?"

"You even felt threatened, Master?"

Upon hearing the middle-aged woman's words, a look of surprise appeared on Long Qianqian's face.

Who is her master?

That was a Saint King-level powerhouse. Not to mention in the Eastern Region, even in the Holy Land, he was a renowned powerhouse in the entire Central Region, belonging to the top tier of figures.

Even Master felt threatened. Could that general be a Saint King?
"Master, could that general be a holy king?"

Long Qianqian's strength was only that of a Lesser Saint, but she could sense that among those people, the one with the strongest aura was only a Great Saint. How could that possibly make her master feel threatened?

Could it be that the other party is hiding their strength?

The middle-aged woman shook her head; "They are not Saint Kings, but only Great Saints at their peak. That's why I said these people are not as simple as they seem."

"A mere Great Sage can make me feel threatened, and judging from his age, he must be quite young. Such a young Great Sage is rare even in the Central Region."

The middle-aged beauty was no stranger to geniuses.

As an elder of the Ziwei Holy Land and a powerful Saint King, she had seen countless geniuses with monstrous talents.

But there are very few who have reached the peak of the Great Saint realm at such a young age, and who even make her, a seasoned Saint King, feel threatened. Even the imperial princes of the Imperial Court are slightly inferior to them.

This……

Long Qianqian was extremely surprised.

For a Great Sage to be able to make even her, a senior Saint King's master, feel threatened, her talent is probably comparable to that of the inherited Saint Son of her Ziwei Holy Land!
"Alright, let's find out what's going on first! Let's see what the Great Zhou is all about?"

The middle-aged beauty said no more, and disappeared into the void with Long Qianqian in her arms.

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen sat upright on the dragon throne, his expression thoughtful.

The appearance of Long Qianqian and her Holy King master caught Zhou Chen off guard; it was something he hadn't anticipated.

In Zhou Chen's plan, after taking over the dynasty, he would develop his strength in a low-key manner for a period of time. Once the news reached the Central Region Imperial Court, Zhou Chen would have the confidence to contend with the Imperial Court based on the outstanding individuals he had recruited through daily check-ins.

Even if the Imperial Court holds them accountable or the Azure Dragon Dynasty drags in other people's personal relationships or resources, the Great Zhou will not be afraid.

But things often don't go as planned. The appearance of Long Qianqian and her Holy King master completely shattered Zhou Chen's expectations.

The hatred of killing one's father and destroying one's dynasty is an irreconcilable enmity.

Although Long Qianqian and her Holy King master had left, Zhou Chen knew that this was probably only temporary.

Long Qianqian will definitely not let this go.

However, Zhou Chen also knew that it wouldn't be so easy for him to completely eliminate Long Qianqian and prevent future troubles.

With Long Qianqian's master, the Holy King, around, his chances are slim.

"This is really troublesome."

Zhou Chen sighed inwardly.

Before the threat from the demon race and the demon court could be resolved, Long Qianqian, the holy maiden of the holy land, and her holy king master appeared.

If this isn't handled properly, we'll be attacked from both sides.

While pondering, Zhou Chen looked up at Cao Zhengchun, who was standing beside him, and said, "Cao Zhengchun, pass down the order to all local generals to strengthen their vigilance during this period. Your Eastern Depot should also pay attention and report any disturbances immediately."

All Zhou Chen can do now is strengthen his defenses, just in case.

"Old slave obeys the order."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and accepted the order.

……

The Ten Thousand Mountains were shrouded in mist. Two figures plummeted from the sky.

"puff!"

Upon landing, one of the figures spat out a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing this, another figure hurriedly asked, "General Bai, are you alright?"

"No problem."

Bai Qi shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "I didn't expect that the Great Sages of the Demon Clan and the Demon Court had such a backup plan. I really underestimated them."

That's right.

The two figures falling were none other than Bai Qi and Cao Youxiang, who had gone to hunt down the two Great Sages of the Demon Clan and the Demon Court.

However, judging from their current state, it seems that the two Great Saints who were chasing the Demon Clan and the Demon Court were not doing well and had even suffered considerable losses.

"Yes! It was a sure thing, but in the end we became their prey. I, the Grand Eunuch, have never been the prey before."

"Most importantly, the Holy Kings of the Demon Clan and the Demon Court have arrived. We'd better hurry up and leave, or we'll really become their prey."

A trickle of blood also flowed from the corner of Cao Youxiang's mouth.

Obviously.

His situation wasn't much better than Bai Qi's.

"Walk."

Without saying anything more, the two leaped into the air, tore through the void, and vanished without a trace once more.

Not long after Bai Qi and Cao Youxiang left, four figures appeared here.

"Hey, those two mice are pretty fast."

"Hehe, they can run away but they can't hide. As long as the Great Zhou Dynasty exists, where else can they run to?"

The two leaders both sneered, seemingly unconcerned that Bai Qi and Cao Youxiang had escaped from their grasp.

“My Lord Demon King, this Great Zhou is not simple. I suspect that there may be a Saint King-level expert in this Great Zhou.”

Mo Yan, who was slightly behind the two leaders, spoke up.

He had already experienced firsthand the unfathomable depths of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

An unknown dynasty first produced a half-saint, and then a lesser saint. Moreover, these people all possessed extraordinary combat power, capable of fighting beyond their level. This was not the kind of strength a dynasty should have.

Now, even a Great Sage has appeared, and even he, a senior Great Sage of the Demon Clan, is no match for him. This makes Mo Yan wonder if there might be a Saint King hidden in the Great Zhou.

"Yes! This Great Zhou is not simple. First there was a half-saint, then a saint, and then a great saint. They appeared one after another, and all of them are very strong. There might even be a saint king hiding."

The figure standing next to Mo Yan also nodded and spoke.

The figure was none other than the Great Sage of the Demon Court, the 'Nine-Headed Bird,' who was being chased by Bai Qi and Cao Youxiang.

The two people standing in front of Moyan and the Nine-Headed Bird were the two Holy Kings of the Demon Clan and the Demon Court.

"Hmph, so what if there's a Holy King?"

Upon hearing what Moyan and the Nine-Headed Bird said, the Holy King of the Demon Clan snorted coldly.

"With this Demon King here, plus Tiger Head King, even if there is a Holy King hiding in this Great Zhou, it's not a big problem."

"Besides, if there really is a Holy King in this Great Zhou, do you two really think you could have escaped from the Great Zhou and are still standing here unharmed?"

After glancing at Mo Yan and the Nine-Headed Bird, the Demon King coldly snorted and said, "The Demon God's plan has worked perfectly in the other three regions, but an unexpected incident occurred in the Eastern Region. If you cannot atone for your crimes by performing meritorious service, then you can expect to be punished!"

The nine-headed bird paid no attention to what the Demon King had said.

He is a member of the Demon Court. Even if he needs to be punished, that is a matter for the Demon Court. The Demon Clan has no say in the matter.

But Mo Yan felt a deep bitterness in his heart.

Can we blame them for this?

The plan was progressing smoothly. They had taken over the four major sects in the Eastern Region, and even the Azure Dragon Dynasty had begun to fall into their hands. It was only a matter of time before they became puppets in the hands of the Azure Dragon Dynasty.

But who would have thought that the Great Zhou would suddenly appear out of nowhere, not only ruining their plans but also taking advantage of the situation, blocking the attacks of the two major sects and the imperial army one after another. Even their alliance with Long Xingtian, the emperor of the dynasty, failed, and in the end, they suffered a crushing defeat and fled.

Meanwhile, powerful figures kept emerging in the Great Zhou Dynasty, first as Lesser Saints, then as Great Saints. Moreover, these people were incredibly strong and could fight beyond their level. Who could withstand that?

However, Mo Yan dared not argue, and could only feel aggrieved in his heart.

He knew the temperament of this Seven Demon Kings; if you dared to speak up, you were really asking for death.

The tiger-headed king of the demon court next to him also glared at the nine-headed bird. The unexpected turn of events in the Eastern Region had an impact on the demon race, and naturally, it also affected the demon court.

Three of the four tentacles of the Human Race Imperial Court's fortune have already been severed; the last one must also be severed as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect the subsequent plans.

"Let's go! Those two rats have already escaped far away; we can't let them get away with it."

Tiger King took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

The Demon King said nothing more, and his figure vanished at the same time.

Moyan and the Nine-Headed Bird exchanged a glance and followed suit. (End of Chapter)
