The First Sage of Military Strategists

Although he is the young sect master of the Xuanlei Sect, the competition within the sect is extremely fierce, with countless new generation geniuses eyeing his position.

This time, he took the initiative to go to the lower realm. If he could successfully seize a lot of benefits for the Xuanlei Sect, his position as the young sect leader would be unshakeable within a hundred years.

"Young Master Lei, what should we do now?" Xu Yan asked from behind.

Lei Wanlong took a deep breath and stared into the distance with a deep gaze: "It's alright, it's just a small accident. I will immediately ask the sect leader to grant me several Xuanlei Pills. These are the supreme treasure pills unique to my Xuanlei Sect. They can help you all open the seventh heavenly gate in a very short time. At that time, you will join me in killing Han Qing, and the life-and-death crisis will naturally be resolved."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan and the others were overjoyed. Their lifespans were rapidly dissipating at an alarming rate, like a sharp blade hanging over their heads. If they could push open the seventh heavenly gate, it would be equivalent to removing this blade.

"Thank you, young master. We will do our utmost to help you kill Han Qing in one fell swoop!" Xu Yan said first.

Shi Chen also bowed slightly: "I am willing to serve you to the death, young master!"

...

the other side.

Han Qing controlled the Boundless Monument, which was flying rapidly westward.

With the crisis in Shenfeng Kingdom resolved, he saw no need to stay in the South China Sea any longer. He decided to return to Yuelu Academy in Shu first, to fully digest the gains of this trip before taking any further action.

Although Han Qing was confident that he was now the strongest in the world, he dared not slack off in the slightest. Whether it was the Seven Heavenly Demons or the constantly descending Immortal Realm experts, they were all changing the situation of the world at all times.

Crises are everywhere; only by continuously becoming stronger can we face them with composure in the future.

Han Qing was never afraid of crises. He believed that one day he would reach the pinnacle, and even the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Realm would not be able to stop his progress.

He closed his eyes slightly and quickly sorted out the things he needed to do.

The first priority is to continue strengthening ourselves and strive to collect more Primordial Ancient Seals and the inheritance of the Ancient Heavenly Demon.

The seven major seals of the Primordial Ancient Seal can merge with each other, greatly increasing their power. The more seals merged, the greater the increase in power.

Han Qing couldn't imagine how powerful the seven seals would become if they were combined. It was likely to be the most precious treasure in the world throughout history.

Such treasures must not fall into the hands of the imperial court, much less into the hands of those in the upper realms; otherwise, one's situation will be extremely dangerous.

Secondly, he wanted to continue expanding his power, transforming Yuelu Academy into a new martial arts holy land, restoring its former glory, and then helping Liu Yue leave Shu, go straight to the capital, and overthrow the Great Yu in one fell swoop.

Third, he already knew about the passage to the upper realm opened by Emperor Yu, and after completing the above matters, he wanted to go to the upper realm.

The Upper Realm has more resources, more powerful and diverse inheritances, and more importantly, the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm is less incomplete, allowing one to break through in one fell swoop and enter the Rainbow Transformation Realm II.

After sorting things out for a while, Han Qing waved his hand, and with a flash of ghostly light, Tan Yuanming and the others were directly moved from afar to a nearby location by his control of the Boundless Monument.

"Gentlemen, I am rebuilding Yuelu Academy and am in dire need of manpower. If you want to live, prove your loyalty and value to me."

Ma Meng stepped forward and said, "I am willing to offer all my magical treasures, and I humbly beg you, sir, to give me a chance!"

Tan Yuanming and the others remained silent, each pondering how to respond.

Han Qing did not respond, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"What? You refuse to back down? Then it seems I'll have to personally see you off!"

Upon hearing this, Tan Yuanming and the others dared not remain silent any longer and immediately expressed their opinions with the utmost respect. "We are willing to follow Lord Han. If you command us to go east, we will never go west."

"Lord Han, I am willing to offer all my treasures, please spare my life!"

"Please give your orders, sir!"

...

For a moment, everyone chose to bow their heads, but Han Qing couldn't tell how much of it was true and how much was false, so he couldn't trust any of them.

After a moment's thought, he suddenly said, "I once possessed a secret technique in the Upper Realm that could see into people's hearts. There must be many among you who harbor ill intentions, but you are forced by circumstances to bow down to me. Now I want to see how many are genuine and how many are fake. Now, quickly kneel down and worship me sincerely!"

As Han Qing spoke, a massive amount of magical power surged forth, converging behind him to form a tall, illusory figure. This figure was draped in a long, black robe, and at first glance, it even bore a resemblance to the Dao Ancestor of the Upper Realm.

This is because this secret technique was inherited from Young Master Qiu's soul light spot. It is a unique technique created by the Dao Ancestor of the Upper Realm, called the Unity of Heaven and Earth, which is used to manipulate people's hearts.

He used this method to govern the Myriad Paths Alliance, and for thousands of years no one has ever betrayed him.

At this moment, as the black-robed figure solidified, an aura of pressure spread out, forcing everyone in front to bow their heads and kneel in worship.

Tan Yuanming and the others were unwilling, but they did not want to fight Han Qing head-on and lose their lives, so they had no choice but to kneel down under this pressure.

The moment these people knelt down, a flood of information rushed into Han Qing's mind.

He was like a god, able to simultaneously peer into everyone's memories and hear the voice of their hearts.

"Han Qing, you scoundrel! I will repay this humiliation tenfold in the future!"

These were the curses Tan Yuanming was thinking. Han Qing raised his hand and threw a punch. Tan Yuanming had no chance to dodge. In a moment of astonishment, his body suddenly twisted and deformed, and finally collapsed completely, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

That wasn't the end of it. Han Qing then unleashed several more punches, knocking several people, including Zhao Yueqiu, to pieces.

For a moment, the remaining people were filled with unease. They had heard that Han Qing was a man of benevolence and righteousness and disliked killing innocent people indiscriminately, but what he was doing at this moment was chilling.

Han Qing also heard the fear in the hearts of these people. He did not make another move, but calmly explained, "Gentlemen, I am not a bloodthirsty person. These people pretended to bow down, but in fact they harbored treacherous intentions. It was only right for me to kill them. As for the others, they all sincerely surrendered, and I will naturally not treat you unfairly!"

As he spoke, his figure flashed, and he raised his hand to press on Ma Meng's shoulder, pouring a torrent of blood energy into his body.

Ma Meng was once arrogant and disdainful of everyone, but now his temperament has changed drastically, and much of his arrogance has dissipated.

He initially thought that Mamun's allegiance was feigned, but after listening to his inner thoughts, he discovered that Mamun was truly sincere and was completely won over.

Therefore, Han Qing directly activated the Heavenly Demon Pill, pouring a large amount of blood energy into its body to strengthen its physique.

Ma Meng immediately felt his physical strength rapidly increasing, and his total blood and qi also continuously increasing.

After a few breaths, Han Qing stopped. Ma Meng was stunned at first, then overjoyed. He felt that his physical strength had doubled. This feeling of rapid improvement in strength was really great.

"Thank you, sir!"

Everyone else's gaze also fell upon Ma Meng, and they could clearly sense that Ma Meng's aura had increased dramatically. They couldn't help but show expressions of curiosity and envy. (End of Chapter)
