When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 892 Recognizing the Lord
"What is this?"

Since the battle of primordial spirits began, Zhou Qingyun and Shen Zhimei have been fleeing away without stopping for a moment.

The two knew that battles between primordial spirits were not to be watched casually, not to mention that those participating in this battle were all great cultivators at the level of Earth Immortals or even Heaven Immortals. Ordinary True Immortals did not have the right to watch. Even if only a tiny fraction of their power were released, it would be enough to annihilate the two of them countless times.

Even with the protection of the Lishan Grand Formation, it is not safe. Although the formation is strong, it may not be able to withstand the full power of these individuals.

And indeed, this has proven to be true.

Wang Ben's punch, which slammed Fan Yuqi directly into the ground, pierced through the great formation's blockade and affected the outside world.

Even though the two had already escaped millions of miles away, they still felt a violent shock.

However, this also shows that such a distance is safe enough.

Just as the two relaxed, they were struck by a golden light that came rushing towards them, making them dizzy. When they looked closely, they saw a small pagoda overflowing with precious light.

"Judging from the direction they're coming from, they must have fled from there," Shen Zhimei said hesitantly, pointing in the direction of the battlefield.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Qing said, "Judging from the overflowing aura, it must be some kind of divine artifact of a true immortal."

Just as the two were feeling puzzled and unsure of what to do, a voice suddenly appeared in Zhou Qingyun's ear.

"Quickly acknowledge its master!"

Before Zhou Qingyun could react, the voice repeated itself heavily:

"Quickly acknowledge its master!"

"Quickly acknowledge its master!"

Under the "bewitchment" of this voice, Zhou Qingyun inexplicably stretched out her right hand and gently touched the small pagoda. The small pagoda, like a frolicking dog, jumped around her finger twice and then turned into a golden light and merged into Zhou Qingyun's body.

To her, even the portion of fortune overflowing from the small tower was as vast as an endless illusory sea. Not to mention that at this moment, the small tower, carrying the accumulated wealth of an entire province over ten thousand years, was poured into Zhou Qingyun's body.

Under the impact of such a raging storm, she was completely stunned!
Just then, a figure in white crossed the void and arrived before the two. Looking at the scene before him, Qing Qing remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly:

"This is the will of Heaven, what can we do?"

Wang Ben followed closely behind, arriving through the air. He smiled and looked at the female cultivator with her eyes closed, saying slowly, "This is the destiny of my Great Qin. It is only right that the people of Qin should be chosen as their masters. This is not the will of Heaven, but the will of the people!"

Qingqing looked at "Wang Ben" with surprise and said, "Your Excellency does seem to have some popularity now."

“I was born among all living beings and grew up among the people, so naturally I have human characteristics. If you regard me as the same kind of clay-sculpted incense-burning deities, then you are underestimating the ambitions of us Qin people.”

At this moment, "Wang Ben" was no longer the omniscient and omnipotent figure he had been just moments before, nor did he resemble the arrogant and martial general he once was. Instead, he exuded the simple and honest air of an old Qin farmer.

Qingqing remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, before finally saying, "The King of Qin is truly a wise and virtuous king. With such a king, what worries could we possibly have about our great cause?"

Wang Ben neither agreed nor disagreed, but still looked at Qing Qing with a smile until the latter sighed dejectedly.

If everything hinges on the King of Qin, there is still a solution: the king's death would lead to the collapse of the kingdom. Even ancient sage emperors faced death. By uniting the strength of the six states and gathering the power of the world, there is a chance to kill the King of Qin. However, if this wisdom truly arises from the wishes of the people, represents their desires, and inherits their aspirations, then the people's hearts are united, and only then will it be truly unstoppable.

Qingqing, who had lost his spirit, seemed to have aged considerably in an instant. Unlike many disciples from noble families and famous sects, Qingqing did not have a glorious sect and was just a talented rogue cultivator from the Yan Kingdom.

That is precisely why he has a pure affection for the land that gave him birth and nurtured him. Even though he has cultivated to the level of a Celestial Immortal and can easily create his own country, or even the world, he cannot sever ties with it.

The growing strength of the Great Qin Dynasty will truly unify the Immortal Realm and recreate the glory of the Three Dynasties. This has become a consensus among many great cultivators. It is precisely for this reason that various schools of thought have flocked to Qin to serve, hoping that their own lineages will not be suppressed after the Great Qin Dynasty is renamed Tian Qin.

Only the noble families who were too deeply tied to the six states were still struggling, because they were certain that after surrendering to Qin, they would no longer be able to retain their current power and resources. However, they had also made two preparations. As far as Qing Qing knew, many families had secretly sent a lot of resources and talented young people to the nameless world far away from the Earthly Immortal Realm. They even had the plan to cut off their own flesh and surrender to Qin once the six states were defeated.

After all, since the establishment of the Five-Colored Divine Court, the unspoken rule that aristocratic families are not subject to severe punishment has become deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Qingqing even felt that even the King of Yan lacked the determination to protect the country with his own body, so it was not an unacceptable thing for him to be demoted from king to marquis.

But none of this mattered to Qing Qing. What he cared about was the State of Yan, this land, and the people of Yan who lived here. He was willing to die for them.

He was even willing to sacrifice his own life, to send off the Yan Kingdom with the soul of a great cultivator.

That's why he persisted even when he knew the chances were slim.

Qingqing believed that if he were to reach the Dao Lord realm, he might be involved in assassinating the King of Qin. Once the King of Qin was dead, all problems would be solved.

But now, the appearance of "Wang Ben" has crushed Qing Qing's last hope. Although the King of Qin is important and a great emperor who is one in a million, the Qin state is not a country that he carries on his back, but a country supported by the people.

All people, not nobles!

Therefore, there is no solution to this problem!
At the same time, Qingqing also felt a strange feeling. He knew that the corrupt noble families in the country had misjudged the Great Qin.

They still believed that after Qin unified the country, it would grant them the status of feudal lords and the same leniency as before, but Qingqing had already glimpsed a corner of the future from "Wang Ben". There was no place for them there!

"Aren't you going to kill me?" Qingqing asked with some curiosity after waiting for a long time without being attacked by "Wang Ben".

At this moment, "Wang Ben" reverted to his original indifferent demeanor and said without any emotion, "According to my calculations, sparing your life is the best way to maximize the interests of the Great Qin."

For the first time, Qing Qing smiled. "Aren't you afraid that with this experience, I'll instantly kill all of Qin's cultivators before you even arrive?"

Wang Ben did not answer again, but instead captured Zhou Qingyun and Shen Zhimei together, and with a burst of light, escaped from the place via the highway.

It was only then that Qin Kai arrived late. Although he was also a Nascent Soul True Immortal, he could only endure the pressure of the Lishan Formation and "walk slowly".

"it's over?"

"ended."

"I am fortunate to still have this crippled body. As for anything else, I do not ask for much more."

Qingqing nodded and said:
"go home!"
