My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

The knot is a husband and wife, and there is no doubt about love.

Joy fills this evening, a time of tender beauty and perfect timing.

The traveler, yearning for the distant road ahead, rises to see how late the night is.

The stars of Orion and the constellations have all vanished; I depart from here.

……

Then, those who had doubts shut up!

Chapter 172 A Man of Both Literary and Martial Talent

Qi Yu walked out of Tiansheng City, but at the city gate, thousands of soldiers were blocking his way, each with a murderous look in their eyes.

The moment Qi Yu stepped out of the city gate, all the soldiers raised their longbows.

Qi Yu took another step forward, and the soldiers immediately drew their arrows and nocked them on their bowstrings.

Qi Yu stepped forward again, and the soldiers drew their bows taut.

Qi Yu raised his head and looked indifferently at the soldiers. Then he raised his hand and waved it lightly. A burst of icy true energy erupted and swept outwards.

The icy blue true energy spread like ripples, instantly freezing any soldier it touched into an ice sculpture.

In early spring, the ice and snow had already melted, but outside Tiansheng City, it was unusually cold, with rows of ice sculptures standing proudly outside the city.

Qi Yu lowered his hand, led his horse towards the ice sculptures, and passed the object through them.

Everyone who was secretly waiting for their chance was stunned.

This level of true qi is almost at the grandmaster level!

Qi Yu is only twenty-one this year!

They were all drawn to Qi Yu's integrity and literary talent, but they overlooked an important issue.

Besides being a respected scholar, Qi Yu was also the Taoist successor personally chosen by the sect leader.

He was not a weak scholar!

Qi Yu is on par with those three prodigies, and is even second only to the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Cult.

Qi Yu was skilled in both literature and martial arts!

Many people secretly swallowed hard, feeling a sense of fear as they watched Qi Yu's departing figure.

The moment Qi Yu made his move, they could feel as if he had seen right through them.

In that instant, it seemed that if Qi Yu had just one thought, they would be frozen like the soldiers.

Qi Yu left, and with a wave of his hand, he froze nearly a thousand soldiers.

These soldiers did not die; they were merely frozen in place.

This was only because Qi Yu showed mercy; otherwise, they would have been reduced to ice shards by now.

Qi Yu once again showed everyone that he was not a weak scholar, but a martial artist who was half a master.

He is the next head coach; being a grandmaster is merely his starting point.

Qi Yu left, but the events that happened in Tiansheng City quickly spread across the continent.

With a wave of his hand, thousands of soldiers were frozen in place, unable to move. From this, it can be seen that Qi Yu is not far from becoming a Grandmaster.

With the blessing of righteousness and talent, Qi Yu, a Grandmaster of the 21st level, will far surpass other Grandmasters of the same realm after entering the Grandmaster realm.

Righteousness and talent can only be fully unleashed by a master.

Below the Grandmaster level, one can only increase attack power and speed up cultivation.

Some forces have already dispatched assassins to the David Dynasty to intercept and kill Qi Yu!

A person like Qi Yu is so unsettling to live; it would be better if he were dead.

The righteous path, the demonic path, and even the dynasty all dispatched assassins, and Qi Yu's name was prominently displayed at the top of the mission list on the first floor.

Qi Yu's bounty has already exceeded that of Dongfang Mengyue, the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Cult.

Some people are willing to go to great lengths to kill Qi Yu.

……

Hidden dangers lurk beneath the surface, and turmoil is brewing, yet on the surface, all is calm.

Ordinary people only know that Qi Yu subdued an army of a thousand men with a wave of his hand. He was not only a man of great literary talent and outstanding character, but also incredibly strong.

For a time, the worship and admiration for Qi Yu reached its peak, and everyone took Qi Yu as their role model, striving to become proficient in both literature and martial arts.

Everything related to Qi Yu was a topic of discussion for everyone, and then, unknowingly, a poem called "Farewell to My Wife" came from the Davidic dynasty.

The knot is a husband and wife, and there is no doubt about love.

Joy fills this evening, a time of tender beauty and perfect timing.

……

If I live, I will return; if I die, I will forever yearn for you!

This poem vividly portrays the reluctance to part with his wife and the precious moments they shared together.

But tomorrow I must depart for my country, so I have to get up, but it's not dawn yet.

If I survive this journey, I will definitely return to your side; if I unfortunately die, I will always think of you.

This poem was written by Qi Yu for his wife, and between the lines it expresses his love and reluctance to part with her.

Then many people wondered, if Qi Yu is such a devoted person, then what about Qin Xiyao?

Qi Yu's mission to the seven states was solely to save Marquis Guanyong, and his father-in-law, wasn't it?

While they were filled with doubt, the Marquis of Guanyong's mansion issued a statement saying that there was no romantic relationship between Qin Xiyao and Qi Yu, and that they were innocent.

Some people are skeptical, while others believe.

If it had been said a few days ago that Qin Xiyao and Qi Yu had nothing going on, they wouldn't have believed it, but now they are willing to believe it.

This poem reveals Qi Yu's longing for his wife. How could such a person be a heartless man who had an affair with Qin Xiyao?

Originally, the plan was to use this to smear Qi Yu as a heartless man, to portray him as a scumbag who, after achieving success, forgot his wife and abandoned her to marry a rich and beautiful woman. But now that plan has fallen through.

Even though the plan fell through, some people still secretly smeared Qi Yu, saying that he was just burying his head in the sand and that the poem was actually written for Qin Xiyao.

Some people believe this, while others don't; opinions vary.

……

Qi Yu walked on the official road, releasing his true energy to sense his surroundings.

His current range of true energy release is two kilometers in radius, so he can detect anyone who attacks him immediately.

They had been away from Tiansheng City for a day and a night, and there was no one around, not even any pursuers.

This puzzled Qi Yu. He could accept the king of David, since he was currently nominally on David's territory.

His blatant attempt to kill me was an act of defiance against the Dayun Dynasty and against Taoism.

Moreover, they are now envoys, and if the news of them killing envoys is confirmed, they will be in a passive position.

If the Dayun Dynasty uses this as an excuse to launch an attack, the surrounding countries will find it difficult to step in and help them.

Although the people of the David Dynasty wouldn't kill him, assassins from the righteous path, the demonic path, and other dynasties wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

Now is a rare opportunity!

By killing themselves and framing the David Dynasty, they could avoid the wrath of Taoism, the Dayun Dynasty, and all the scholars in the world.

Such a great opportunity, and nobody's showing up?

Qi Yu was extremely surprised. He was already prepared for battle, with Zhan Qiu in his hand, ready to be drawn at any moment.

He was on high alert for a whole day and night, but no one came to kill him!

On a mountain peak beyond Qi Yu's ability to sense with his true energy, a purple figure stood on the edge of a cliff, watching a figure on horseback on the official road.

Beneath the thin veil, her rosy cherry lips curved into a captivating smile, and her eyes held an undisguised tenderness.

She really liked Qi Yu's poem "Farewell to My Wife," and she was deeply moved by it.

The scene depicted in the poem is the scene when Qi Yu left.

It was still dark when Qi Yu got up and headed to the capital.

For the past twenty-odd days, she has been secretly protecting Qi Yu.

Qi Yu couldn't see her, but she was watching him all the time.

Su Yue gazed gently at Qi Yu's retreating figure, but suddenly, her gentle gaze turned indifferent, even apathetic.

Glancing at the distant mountains and forests, Su Yue's fair fingers gripped the hilt of her sword.

Three first-rank officials, ten second-rank officials, and more than twenty third-rank officials!

These people are really willing to go to great lengths to kill their husbands!

But it was destined that they would never return!

Chapter 173 Winning Over

Late at night, Qi Yu arrived near the border, heading towards the next dynasty, the Great Xuan Dynasty.

The Da Xuan Dynasty was located to the northwest of the David Dynasty, and both countries bordered the Da Yun Dynasty.

Qi Yu's mission involved circling around the Dayun Dynasty and finally arriving at the Dading Dynasty.

To leave the Davidic dynasty, one still had to overcome a hurdle.

However, I have Emperor David's travel document, so I should be able to pass through.

As for whether they will sabotage us, that's for sure.
