You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !

In the early morning, the two children woke up from their sleep, and Changqing told them about their arrangements. The two children were reluctant to let them go, but did not try to stop them too much, as they knew that after this separation, they would never see each other again.

Changqing did not ask the names of the two people. If they are destined to meet, they will meet again.

The black gauze fluttered, the white clothes fluttered, the brown horse neighed, and Changqing's figure gradually disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Behind them, two children stood there, waving goodbye. That gesture seemed to freeze time and lasted for a long time.

-----------------

Chang Qing, holding a map, stepped into the deep forest alone. It was so quiet that only his own breathing could be heard. The dense forest blocked the sunlight, making the air filled with a faint smell of decay.

He climbed up step by step along the winding path.

Gradually, the woods ahead became sparse, and a cave appeared on the mountain in the distance.

At the entrance of the cave, a team of patrolling soldiers were on full alert. With sharp eyes and swift movements, they were obviously a well-trained elite force.

When the soldiers noticed Chang Qing approaching on horseback, they immediately took a alert posture and moved quickly, appearing to be well-trained elite soldiers.

Chang Qing was a little curious about when Yu Qingxi had built up such a force. It must have been quite a while.

It seems that this woman is quite ambitious.

However, it was this ambition that made Changqing feel at ease, because he knew that only people with ambition could make him feel at ease to assist them.

If he were forced onto the throne, he would most likely become a puppet, and such a rebellion would lose its meaning.

Just as Chang Qing was lost in thought, a soldier approached and shouted, "Who are you? This is a forbidden area. No outsiders are allowed to approach!"

Chang Qing took out the map calmly, walked up to the soldier who seemed to have a higher rank, and handed it to him, saying, "I am invited by the princess to meet you here."

The soldier took the map, carefully identified the small phoenix seal on it, and his expression relaxed a little.

He turned around and smiled at Chang Qing, saying, "Please wait for a moment, young master. I will go in and report, and there will be a result soon."

After saying that, he ordered his men to temporarily surround Changqing.

However, Changqing was not annoyed by this, but instead appreciated the army's cautious attitude.

"Young Master, are you here to test the soldiers?" the leading soldier asked curiously.

Changqing shook his head, and the leading soldier said again: "Is it a clerk position?" Changqing shook his head again.

The leading soldier could not guess the slightly joking tone and said, "The young master is so young and looks like a scholar. Could it be that the princess invited him to teach us?"

Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers all laughed. Chang Qing raised the corner of his mouth slightly and shook his head.

"It's neither this nor that. Young master, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us all the rough folks about it." The leading soldier asked, growing curious.

"We'll know soon." Chang Qing said nothing more and looked into the cave with a smile, and everyone followed suit.

As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful woman slowly walked out of the cave. It was Yu Qingxi.

Her appearance seemed to bring a touch of brightness to the dim cave.

Everyone looked a little dazed, until Yu Qingxi approached, they came to their senses and greeted him one after another.

Yu Qingxi bowed to Changqing, and Changqing quickly returned the greeting.

"Now that Young Master Zhang can come, I feel relieved." Yu Qingxi patted his chest with a relieved expression.

Chang Qing responded modestly: "Your Highness is too kind. I am afraid that without me, the princess's plan will not be far away!" He looked around.

He continued, "These people are great. They couldn't be better. It can be seen that the princess has countless wise men in her army, which is why she can train such high-quality soldiers."

"It's a good opportunity to introduce some people to you." Yu Qingxi walked into the cave, and Changqing followed. The soldiers outside the cave were a little dazed. They didn't expect that Changqing's identity was so special that he would be personally greeted by the princess. When they saw the two walking away, they all started to discuss and speculate about Changqing's identity.

The passage inside the cave was dark and was lit by torches.

After walking nearly ten feet, a strong light pierced into Changqing's eyes, causing him to close his eyes instinctively.

After a while, he opened his eyes and was surprised by the scene in front of him.

This is actually the interior of a volcano.

The volcano was dead, the rocks were black and gray, and the interior was extremely spacious. Light was pouring down from above, shining in the center.

The center was filled with people, and nearly thousands of people were training there.

The surrounding walls are densely packed with caves and man-made grottoes, which are probably the places where the soldiers rest on a daily basis.

Yu Qingxi took Changqing into a stone house in the center.

The stone house was large, with simple interior decoration. There were many tables and chairs on both sides, and it was obviously a conference room.

There were already many people seated in the room, including a few women, who were all looking at the young man behind the eldest princess with curiosity.

One of the two chairs in the front was already occupied by a bearded man.

He looked to be about forty years old and quite rugged. He was stunned when he saw the princess let the young man sit on the chair opposite him.

The others were also startled and began to whisper to each other.

Yu Qingxi looked at everyone and introduced them, "This is Master Zhang, the other great martial master I just mentioned!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Discussions arose one after another, and someone couldn't help but ask, "What? Princess, you said this child is the Great Wuzong?"

After hearing Yu Qingxi's words, everyone was in an uproar, and discussions broke out one after another. They all questioned:

"What? Princess, are you sure you are not mistaken? This child is actually the Great Martial Sect?"

"Did I hear wrongly? Nowadays, the youngest great martial master is already in his early thirties. How could this kid possibly reach that level?"

"It's not that fast for Wu Quxing to descend to the earth, right? This kid looks so young, how could he become a great martial master?"

There are constant doubts.

The bearded man sitting in the front chair couldn't help but clasp his fists towards Yu Qingxi and said:

"Princess, are you kidding me? This man looks so young, it's hard to believe that he has reached the level of a great martial master. Are you deceived by his sweet words?"

Yu Qingxi was also a little hesitant at this time. She had indeed never seen Changqing take action with her own eyes.

The last time Chang Qing was about to take action against Grandmaster Lin, he was stopped by me in time, so I didn't witness his strength with my own eyes.

She was a little speechless and said: "This... I really haven't seen Master Zhang take action with my own eyes, but since he dared to come here, he must have his own confidence. Everyone, please be patient and don't make any assumptions."

However, the bearded burly man Wang Gang did not buy it. He watched Yu Qingxi speak for Chang Qing, and although he felt a little unhappy, he believed that the princess was his benefactor and he could not contradict her.

He turned his head, stared at Changqing with a sharp gaze and said:

"Boy, I don't care what your background is or what your purpose is. But since you claim to be a great martial arts master, you should show us some real skills and open our eyes. Otherwise, how can we work with you with peace of mind?"

Chang Qing was speechless. He had just sat down for a short time when he encountered such trouble.

However, he was not angry, but just said calmly: "Oh? Then how do you think I should prove my strength?"

Wang Gang snorted coldly and said, "Simple. Since the princess said you are a great martial master, you must have martial arts skills. Whether you are a great martial master or a martial master, let's compete and we will know the result."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingxi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wang Gang, Master Zhang has just arrived here and has been exhausted from the long journey. How can he compete with you?"

However, Wang Gang ignored Yu Qingxi's dissuasion. His eyes were still fixed on Chang Qing, as if he was determined to compete with him.

Chang Qing saw this and knew that this competition was unavoidable.

He took a deep breath, stood up, clasped his hands together and said, "In that case, please enlighten me, Your Excellency."

Wang Gang saw this, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He had long wanted to test the strength of this young man who claimed to be a great martial arts master. Now, he finally had the chance to find out...
