From the Valkyrie to the Endless

…………

…………

Shen Qing and Lu Xunfeng's return journey was smooth and uneventful.

Some sea monsters were killed along the way, and most of their flesh and blood was eaten by Shen Qing on the spot. She then used a sundial to speed up the digestion, and it became her nutrients.

After traveling at full speed for just two days, Shen Qing and his companions returned to the Southern Region and headed straight for the Zidian Tianzong.

Because the message had been delivered in advance, when Shen Qing and the others arrived at Zidian Tianzong, True Lord Qingyun was already waiting in the main hall with several True Lords with whom they had a close relationship.

In addition to True Lord Qingyun, there were also three True Lords Guiyi who took action on this trip, all of whom were among the most powerful men in the Southern Region.

"Due to the decree of the Holy King, cultivators from the outside world can no longer enter this place. Now the only helpers we can find are these three."

True Lord Qingyun explained, then walked to the only woman among the three True Lords and introduced her to Shen Qing.

"This is Master Luo Li."

Zhenjun Luoli looked no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but the wisdom flashing in her eyes somewhat revealed her real age.

"Greetings to True Lord Luo Li."

Shen Qing bowed and greeted them. The three True Lords in front of her all came to help her.

"This is Master Yongshen and Master Yunchuan."

Zhenjun Yongshen was a middle-aged man with a slightly thin figure. He was playing with a jade seal in his hand, which was covered with dense array patterns. Shen Qing smelled a different scent from him. Zhenjun Yongshen was also a spiritual array master, and his attainments in array formations were much more advanced than hers.

Guangchuan Zhenjun, who was standing aside, looked younger, just over twenty years old, with handsome features, deep and bright eyes, a jade crown on his head, and his straight black hair was combed neatly.

Shen Qing greeted them one by one, and then waited quietly for Master Qingyun to speak.

"I have already explained the specific situation to you all before, so I will not go into details now."

True Lord Qingyun did not beat around the bush and stated his plan directly.

"Tomorrow December will hand in a visiting card, asking to see the Xuanling Divine Lord. It would be best if we could lure him out. The four of us will lurk in the dark and act according to circumstances."

…………

…………

The next day, morning light broke.

Shen Qing handed in a visiting card, asking to see Lord Xuanling.

Originally, it was Lord Xuanling who wanted to summon her to his side, and the other side quickly responded and asked her to meet at a temple.

Shen Qing entered the heartland of Xuanling Zhenjun without any hindrance, and the four Zhenjuns followed closely in the dark.

Just like when we first met, the entire body of Lord Xuanling was shrouded in a wide black robe dotted with starlight, which seemed to encompass a small piece of the universe and was quite dazzling.

"Lord God, have you been well these days?"

Shen Qing greeted him with a slightly bland tone.

"December, I underestimated you."

There was no trace of emotion on Lord Xuanling's face, but his words were ambiguous:

"Due to your outstanding performance, the Snow God has personally reported to the Holy King and listed you as a candidate for the God General. It seems that you are indeed a rare talent, and even the Holy King is alarmed."

"Candidate for God General?"

Hearing this, Shen Qing thought to herself that something was wrong. She had not expected that the Snow God would be so direct and win her so much attention in front of the Holy King. For a moment, her face changed slightly.

Becoming a god means believing in the Nine Nether Saint King. Believers have no secrets in front of the gods, and all their emotional fluctuations will be sensed.

Moreover, the most crucial thing is that once she becomes a divine general, her life and death will depend on the thought of the Nine Nether Saint King.

This is too dangerous.

Soon, Shen Qing gathered her thoughts and stopped thinking about it. No matter what, she had to get rid of the Xuanling God in front of her first to avoid any more trouble.

The identity of a candidate for divine general is quite special and requires the approval of the Holy King Jiuyou.

To a certain extent, Shen Qing's status is now on the same level as that of Xuanling God.

This was undoubtedly a little unbearable for Lord Xuanling, not to mention that he had already had some doubts about Shen Qing.

Now that Shen Qing has opened nearly a hundred of the divine treasures in his body, his spiritual perception has increased by who knows how many times. He was very keen to detect the fleeting murderous intent from Lord Xuanling.

She lowered her eyes, without any sign of abnormality in her expression, and was not in a hurry to take action.

Although the four True Lords of Guiyi were not far behind her at this moment, this hall was shrouded in a spiritual formation of a high grade.

If they don't find a way to lure Lord Xuanling out of this hall, it will take a lot of effort and there may be some uncontrollable changes. If they let him escape and go before Saint King Jiuyou to file a complaint, the consequences will not be something that the True Lords behind him can afford.

They are not alone, they have disciples and descendants behind them. Based on this, Shen Qing also has to consider some things for them and try to minimize the risks.

"You followed the Demon Slayer True Lord along the shore of the South China Sea the day before yesterday. Why? I sent Linlang to replace you, so it must have been a while. Why did you come only now? Where have you been during this time?"

Lord Xuanling suddenly spoke and asked about Shen Qing's whereabouts during this period.

"I knew that the Demon Slayer was the biggest obstacle for the Lord of Gods to compete for the position of the Lord of Gods. After discovering his whereabouts, I was ready to find out the truth for the Lord of Gods. It happened that Linlang came to take over my position, and I had some free time, so I continued to track him down."

Shen Qing had already considered some of the questions from Lord Xuanling before coming here, and answered them in an orderly manner.

"So what news did you get?"

"The Demon Slayer went deep into the South China Sea and forced the South China Sea Dragon King's prince to death. I think a disaster will befall him soon."

Shen Qing looked calm, without hiding anything, and answered with his head lowered.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea will never give up and will come to her sooner or later. What's more, the Dragon Palace has been looted by her and she even left her name behind. No matter how tolerant the Dragon King of the South China Sea is, he will never swallow this humiliation.

"Oh? Seriously?"

Upon hearing the news, a hint of surprise flashed in Xuanling God's eyes, and he confirmed the authenticity of the information.

"It is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes."

After saying that, Shen Qing took out a piece of black rotten wood and handed it to Lord Xuanling.

"This is a piece of Yinshen wood that I found by chance in the South China Sea. It should be of some use to the Lord of Gods."

This was naturally looted from the Dragon Palace's treasury. It is of quite high quality and has been nurtured on the seabed for at least tens of thousands of years. It is a rare treasure in the world today.

Xuanling Divine Lord took it and played with it for a while, then nodded slightly: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

For the gods and spirits who worship incense, there are many spiritual materials with extremely yin properties in the deep sea, which can greatly improve their cultivation. The Yin Shen Wood is one of the most outstanding ones.

Shen Qing's act of offering treasures gradually dispelled the slight doubts that had arisen in Lord Xuanling's mind.

It is no secret that Lord Demon Slayer is not kind to humans. There should be no connection between Shen Qing and him. It is probably that he just wanted to observe Lord Demon Slayer's movements for him out of kindness.

"If you don't believe it, you can go to the South China Sea yourself and capture a sea monster to ask. Hearing is not as good as seeing." Shen Qing made a perfect suggestion.

"Alright."

Lord Xuanling had no doubts and nodded after a moment's hesitation.

He always felt that it was unreal that the Demon Slayer had suddenly gone to the South China Sea and forced to death the only son of a dragon king in a region.

Shen Qing's eyes moved, and he calmly moved aside to make way.

…………

After leaving the temple, Lord Xuanling immediately headed towards the sea.

Shen Qing lagged behind by one step, following slowly.

hum-

About 200,000 miles after leaving the temple, spiritual patterns suddenly emerged in the void and transformed into a spiritual formation spanning dozens of miles, isolating the area from all disturbances from the outside world.

Master Yongshen held the seal in his hand and walked slowly out of the void, with a smile on his lips but a look in his eyes that was piercingly cold.

The other three True Lords appeared one after another, each standing on one side, surrounding Lord Xuanling in the middle. Their expressions were all equally calm, without any sign of emotional fluctuation.

"You are so brave to ambush the Lord of the Guardian Dynasty."

Xuanling Divine Lord was slightly startled for a moment, but soon calmed down. With a cold expression, he spoke softly and scolded: "Do you think that with these few tricks of yours, you can deceive the world? Can you deceive the eyes and ears of the Holy King?"

Looking at the four True Lords who suddenly appeared, Lord Xuanling did not show much panic on his face. Instead, his face was solemn. The incense and prayer power surrounding him gradually began to boil, and it was obvious that he was planning to fight to the death.

The four True Lords did not speak. Shen Qing, who was not far behind him, took over the conversation in a calm tone:

"Even if Saint King Jiuyou knew that I killed you, I don't think he would have much of a reaction. After all, you and I are both candidates for the title of Divine General now."

Hearing Shen Qing's voice behind him, Xuanling God suddenly felt a chill in his heart and his scalp went numb:

"It's really you!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly reacted and looked at the four True Lords beside him, with a look of horror on his face:

"The human race...are you planning to usurp power..."

boom--

The body of Lord Xuanling suddenly dispersed and turned into countless wisps of soul, hiding in the smoke of incense and merging into the void.

He had lost the will to fight, and now he had to try every possible means to spread the news. As long as a wisp of soul could get out, the Saint King would know.

The things involved are too horrific. What these people want to overthrow is theocracy. This is a fight for the truth.

It is still unknown how many powerful people and forces are involved behind the scenes. It is also a question whether anyone in the Central Dynasty is involved.

This action was beyond Shen Qing's expectations, but it was followed by a huge surprise.

After all, Lord Xuanling is a god who has experienced a very long time. If you want to defeat him head-on, it will probably take a lot of effort.

But now Lord Xuanling has chosen to disintegrate and transform into thousands of incarnations, which is tantamount to suicide, creating a great opportunity for Shen Qing.
