Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

Yan Baiqing stepped on the ground with his heels, and his whole body floated like a bird, leaping into the air, approaching Ye Qingzhou with a strange body movement that seemed slow but was actually very fast. At the same time, his hands changed from a wing-spreading posture to a slashing action, and slashed at Ye Qingzhou's neck swiftly and fiercely.

The evil spirit surges and is indestructible!
"Attack instead of defense? That's a good tactic..."

Ye Qingzhou had rich combat experience and could see at a glance that behind Yan Baiqing's brutal and cruel moves was actually fear and despair.

The current action is just to create a chance for himself to escape, even if the probability of success is less than one percent.

"It's a pity that you met me."

Ye Qingzhou stood up slowly, and a ray of silver moonlight penetrated the endless void and splashed here. Time and space seemed to stand still and entered a state of nothingness. Only consciousness could still function.

Then everyone was frozen in place and could only watch Ye Qingzhou slowly stand up and walk in front of Yan Baiqing.

"Heart...the power of mental images..."

Yan Baiqing was suspended in mid-air, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally died completely at this moment.

With just a thought, he can use his own will to interfere with the material world and form a field of absolute control. Only a Martial Saint can possess such power!

Lost!

Ye Qingzhou didn't even make a move, but he suppressed a martial arts master with just the glow of his own mind.

You know, even in a superpower like Dongji Country on Blue Star, each province can only produce one or two masters in a generation.

There are only more than 400 people in the entire Blue Star!

But even such a master figure who is as unrivaled as a mountain in the martial arts world is like an ant in front of Ye Qingzhou and can be crushed to death with ease.

Xie Zhengming and Xie Yuxi, father and daughter, were the most shocked, especially Xie Yuxi. She had never expected that the young man she met at the door could easily suppress the powerful opponent that made the entire Tianze Sect feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Those who have nothing to do with the Golden Swallow Clan can leave now."

After Ye Qingzhou spoke, the glow of the Moon of Nothingness disappeared immediately. Those who had been hostile to the Golden Swallow Gate were able to regain their mobility and then fled in panic.

They don't want to get involved in this matter.

Outside the Zhengxin Martial Arts School, Wei Chongyang took a long distance to breathe deeply. While bandaging the wound on his palm, he gloated, "Old Ghost Yan is done for this time. He actually dared to offend a martial arts saint. He is really courting death. So, how did he offend Ye Sheng?"

After saying that, he looked at Xie Zhengming.

The latter quickly shook his head: "I don't want to know, and I dare not know."

As the saying goes, the older you are in the martial arts world, the less courageous you are. He had heard earlier that Ye Qingzhou was seriously injured in the battle of the Seven Saints to slay the gods, and his realm fell. He felt sorry for it at that time.

Now it seems that this was clearly a sting operation!

"Regarding what happened tonight, if you don't want to die, you'd better keep your mouth shut."

"Yes, yes, yes, we haven't been to Zhengxin Martial Arts School tonight, so we don't know anything!"

After Xie Zhengming's reminder, everyone understood and said they would keep their mouths shut.

No one present knew what kind of personality this young martial saint had, but no one wanted to bring disaster upon their entire family because of their careless words.

…………

In the Zhengxin Martial Arts School, Yan Baiqing and several other sect leaders who had been very close to the Jinyan Sect recently, really wanted to die at this moment.

Facing a Martial Saint, they would be doomed to die no matter how much they resisted.

"Tell me, who asked you to target me?"

Ye Qingzhou has been busy refining the Shengsheng Creation Pill recently and has no patience to compete with Yan Baiqing in wits and courage.

"Ye Sheng, this is a misunderstanding, I am..."

Yan Baiqing also wanted to use his backer to make Ye Qingzhou hesitate.

But Ye Qingzhou was not going to waste time talking to him. He directly pointed his sword energy at the Tianzong point on his shoulder blade, and then the sword energy spread along the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian.

"what!!!"

Yan Baiqing cried out in pain immediately. This kind of pain of severed meridians was difficult to endure even for a martial artist with a strong mind.

After a while, there were only corpses left in the conference room.

Ye Qingzhou pushed open the door and left the martial arts hall alone. At the same time, he told Gu Minghui the information he had obtained through interrogation: "Behind Yan Baiqing are the top leaders of the Coexistence Faction in the imperial capital. They have colluded with the Heavenly Sword Bureau of the Western Extreme Country and sent people from the Golden Swallow Sect to deal with me. I'm afraid they have noticed your recent unusual movements, so they came to test whether my cultivation has recovered."

"It seems that there is a traitor in the Tianji Research Institute. Let me handle this matter. I promise to give you a satisfactory explanation. How do you think?"

An insignificant character like Yan Baiqing would be dead if he died, and Gu Minghui wouldn't care too much.

Anyway, Yan Baiqing is a traitor. After undergoing blood transformation, he will definitely not be able to be on the same page with the militant faction in the future. It is a good thing to remove him in advance.

But the people from the coexistence faction cannot act rashly. Once Ye Qingzhou starts a killing spree in the imperial capital, things will likely become out of control.

Ye Qingzhou still trusted Gu Minghui, so he was willing to give him this face: "Okay, then I will continue to work on the elixir."

…………

Xinxiang, Xiji Country, the headquarters of the Tianjian Bureau.

One-Eyed Nick soon received the relevant information.

"Director, there is a secret report from Dongji Country."

"explain."

"One of our covert lines is gone. The last mission they carried out was to kidnap Ye Qingzhou."

"Mission failed?"

One-Eyed Nick frowned.

Long before the Seven Saints God-Slaying War broke out, the Tianjian Bureau had increased its attention on Ye Qingzhou and even placed him second on the kill list.

The first one is undoubtedly Zhang Xinwu.

This shows how much importance the Tianjian Bureau attaches to Ye Qingzhou.

Even after the Seven Saints' God-Slaying War, when word spread that Ye Qingzhou was seriously injured and had gone into seclusion, Nick did not let down his guard. Instead, he spared no expense to support the secret network of the Golden Swallow Sect, intending to get to the bottom of the matter and confirm Ye Qingzhou's true situation.

Especially recently, the frequent exchanges between Tianji Research Institute and Ye Qingzhou made Nick have a bad feeling: "What does the intelligence analysis department think about this matter?"

"We suspect that Ye Qingzhou's injuries are healing, or at least he has found a cure. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why Tianji Research Institute is taking such urgent action."

Intelligence analysts are talking nonsense in all seriousness.

Although the analysis process was extremely wrong and far from the truth, their conclusion was correct - Ye Qingzhou had indeed recovered from his injuries.

After listening to the analysis report from the intelligence department, Nick suddenly felt a headache again: "Why don't you just refuse to die?" His hero is my enemy.

To the Tianjian Bureau and even the entire Xiji Kingdom, Ye Qingzhou, the martial arts prodigy of Dongji Kingdom, is a huge threat, and he might even be a crazy person.

Now, Zhang Xinwu alone has made the entire Western powers feel uneasy and in chaos.

If there is another person, how can their S.W.A.R.D. Bureau carry out its work and how can it deeply intervene in European affairs?
"Can you find a way to trick him out of Dongji Country?"

Nick's mind is now full of thoughts on how to set up a trap to kill a Golden Martial Saint. According to the strength of the Tianjian Bureau, it is still possible to do it if all the cards are played.

"I'm afraid it's difficult."

The intelligence officer had a constipated expression and a gloomy look, just like the grandson of Party B who met the evil father of Party A who made random product demands.

Nick was furious when he heard this, and his only remaining eye bulged bigger than a bell. "Does Congress allocate so much money every year just for you to emphasize the difficulties to me? Hurry up and find a way to be the person who solves the problem, instead of being the problem itself!"

"Yes, Chief."

After staying up all night and losing countless hairs, the intelligence department finally presented Nick with a feasibility report.

"Commissioner, there is a solution."

"Hmm? Show me now."

Nick took the report ecstatically, and then nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, how did you come up with this idea?"

"Ye Qingzhou had signed up for the World Championship before, but when only the Golden Martial Saints were left, his spot was automatically cancelled and the world ranking was useless to him. So we changed our thinking and invited him as a special guest. There is a high probability that we can lure him to Izumo."

The world ranking is for martial arts masters, that is, the silver powerhouses in Europe.

Ye Qingzhou was directly promoted to Martial Saint, so naturally he was not included in the list. He became the top powerful person on Blue Star who was above the rest of the world, because no one was qualified to rank Martial Saints.

"The Bloody Temple, the Crimson Moon Cult, and several Golden Martial Saints of Europa, we must put all our efforts into this battle and achieve our goal in one fell swoop!"

Nick has made up his mind to get rid of Ye Qingzhou, the biggest threat to the West Country, at any cost: "We can't let him continue to grow like this. Killing him now is at least much easier than waiting for him to become a martial god."

…………

At Longhui Ridge, Ye Qingzhou, who was using the power of the underground dragon veins to refine the Shengsheng Zaohua Pill, was delighted: "The pill has become a top-grade product. Even God is helping me."

But soon, Ye Qingzhou suddenly looked up at the sky: "A sudden impulse, a warning from heaven? It seems that another villain wants to harm me..."

After thinking about it, Ye Qingzhou felt relieved.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. As long as you are successful, there will be people who want to plot against you.

They may suppress you to prevent you from hindering their interests, or they may curry favor with you and want to gain benefits from you, or they may simply dislike you and want to bring bad luck to you.

If human hearts are like this, otherwise why do those who practice cultivation always want to escape from the mundane world and search for the pure land they long for in their hearts?

It is because of the bustling world that always disturbs people's peace and tranquility.

"The tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop."

Ye Qingzhou had recently been planning to cultivate his character, calm his mind, and stop killing people, but now that he had a sudden impulse, he knew that he could not escape his fate.

"Even if I am the one favored by destiny, the son of destiny, do I still have to go through disasters before I can continue to enjoy the favor of heaven?"

With the help of symbolic and numerical thinking, Ye Qingzhou was able to clearly feel the divine information contained in his sudden inspiration.

This calamity cannot be avoided. The more you try to avoid it, the more it will pile up. Maybe in the end, the bloody disaster will turn into a fatal calamity that will leave no one alive.

After just a little thought, Ye Qingzhou understood the reason: "Rights and responsibilities always go hand in hand. The more benefits I enjoy, the more obligations I must bear. Does God want to use me to eliminate these traitors who have infiltrated the Blue Star from the Taixu Divine Dynasty?"

After figuring this out, Ye Qingzhou just found it a little funny: "Maybe this calamity is not aimed at me."

Hunter and prey, in many cases, their identities will switch, and it all depends on who has the better skills.

ding dong~
When Ye Qingzhou was wondering how the disaster would come, he received a text message on his mobile phone.

As soon as he finished reading it, Gu Minghui sent him a communication request.

"Ye Qingzhou."

"What's the matter, Lao Gu?"

"The World Martial Arts Competition invited you to be a special guest, right?"

"That's right. They were afraid that I would refuse, so they directly took out the championship reward. It just so happens that this rare item is exactly what I need."

"This is such a deliberate plot, there must be some trick, you must not agree to it."

"I have already promised."

"..."

Gu Minghui was speechless after hearing this, and immediately tried to dissuade him: "Although the Emperor Xiu Immortal Realm is precious, as long as you are willing to pay the price, we can help you find someone to exchange it. There is no need to take such a risk. With your intelligence, you should be able to see that this is clearly a killing game aimed at you."

"I know."

Ye Qingzhou nodded calmly: "Before you called me, I had already had an idea and predicted the good and bad luck, but it is hard to go against God's will."

Hearing the word "God's will", Gu Minghui immediately understood what Ye Qingzhou meant: "Is this... God's will to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

"Yes, for me, this is not only a calamity after being promoted to Martial Saint, but also a test from heaven. You should understand that heaven's favor is never obtained for free."

The Qing Emperor's lineage has the deepest knowledge of the spirit world and the will of heaven, so Gu Minghui did not continue to dissuade them. He just said, "Recently, Europa and Xiji Country have joined forces to put pressure on us. Among the four great generals, only Baihu can spare some time. When the time comes, I will ask him to accompany you to Izumo."

This is a foolproof plan, Ye Qingzhou did not refuse: "Okay."

Ye Qingzhou himself is a Martial Saint, and with Qing Jiao Yingyue and White Tiger God General, the three Martial Saints traveling together, even if they cannot guarantee victory, at least they will have no problem escaping.

Although he was very confident in his own strength, Ye Qingzhou also knew the principle of anticipating defeat before victory. Even if he went to Izumo to experience the tribulation, he had to leave a way out for himself before going.

Otherwise, if you know there is a trap and still jump into it, wouldn’t you be a fool?
After giving the pills and recipe to Xu Yuebing and asking her to pass them on to Xu Yunxi and Gu Minghui, Ye Qingzhou boarded the plane to Izumo.

The plane landed safely at Haneda Airport.

As soon as he set foot on this land, Ye Qingzhou felt three different strange auras. He opened his heavenly eyes and spied on the national destiny of Izumo.

What comes into view are three huge pillars of fortune, and in the middle is a giant snake with eight heads and eight tails, which symbolizes the chaotic situation of Izumo's political situation with multiple factions and internal strife.

In addition, there are two pillars of heaven with very strange auras.

One of the pillars looked like a hungry ghost from hell, mad and confused, with a huge black mouth opened as if wanting to devour everything in the world.

The other pillar was like a perfectly functioning machine. As the gears turned, clanging sounds filled with murderous intent filled the air.

The three forces intertwined with each other, covering the sky above the Izumo area, making it airtight. (End of this chapter)
