Chapter 98: The Great Zhou’s Nation-Protecting Sword Qi!

The woman in the plain dress!

In the starry sky, when this name was heard, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became somewhat heavy.

Ever since the Chief Minister of the Guanxuan Universe Cabinet, Xu Yuan, and that Breaking Circle Realm expert were killed, the Guanxuan Universe had mobilized all its forces here to investigate the woman in the plain dress. However, they still came up empty-handed. This woman in the plain dress seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

They simply couldn’t trace her!

In the end, the Guanxuan Universe even suspected that this woman in the plain dress came from the True World, because everyone knew that for some unknown reason, the True World had been unable to enter the worlds below for a thousand years, and now, the thousand years had passed.

But later they thought about it and felt it was impossible, because the path down from the True World had been comprehensively monitored by the Guanxuan Universe, and there were also the Dao laws of the Guanxuan Sword Master guarding it. It was simply impossible for people from above to come down silently. After all, no matter how strong this woman in the plain dress was, could she really be stronger than the Guanxuan Sword Master?

However, they were still wary of this woman in the plain dress whose origins were unknown.

A powerful figure suddenly said, “Old Qin, is that fortune teller you found reliable?”

Everyone looked toward Old Qin. This Old Qin came from the Qin Clan. The Qin Clan’s ancestor back in the day was a life-and-death brother with the Guanxuan Sword Master, a relationship even closer than the Xiao family’s.

Old Qin smiled and said, “Reliable, very reliable. This person is called the ‘Fortune Teller’ in the True World and has never made a wrong prediction. Moreover, this person ascended from our world.”

That powerful figure immediately became somewhat curious, “Ascended from our world?”

Old Qin nodded, “Yes, but the specific identity is unknown. But think about it, ascending from our world means the other party must be one of those people from the Battle of Ascending to Heaven back then…”

The Battle of Ascending to Heaven!

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions became grave. Those who could participate in the Battle of Ascending to Heaven back then were all incredibly formidable figures.

Having participated in the Battle of Ascending to Heaven, there was no doubt that this person’s strength was absolutely beyond question.

Old Qin smiled and said, “I can stake my ancestor’s head on it, this matter is very reliable… Everyone, that woman in the plain dress is indeed strong, but if we all attack together, can she really kill us all with one sword?”

Hearing this, the others all nodded in agreement.

That woman in the plain dress could instantly kill a Breaking Circle Realm expert, so her strength was indeed extraordinary. But to say she could kill them all with one sword, they absolutely wouldn’t believe it. They still had some confidence in their own strength.

Another elder suddenly said, “Regardless, this woman’s strength is truly unfathomable. She can even instantly kill Breaking Circle Realm experts… When we face her, we still can’t be careless. Everyone, if you have divine weapons or anything like that, use them all, just in case.”

Someone laughed, “Don’t worry. That woman in the plain dress may be like the Sword Sect Master, hard to match within the same realm. We can be cautious, but we shouldn’t be too afraid.”

An elder said in a deep voice, “I don’t think it’s that simple. We know the upper limit of the Sword Sect Master, but we don’t know the upper limit of this woman in the plain dress. Under these circumstances, the risk is too great, we must…”

Another person suddenly sneered, “The risk is great? When has ‘great fortune’ ever come without risk?”

As he spoke, he suddenly looked toward a middle-aged man at the head of the group, “Brother Feng, we all follow the lead of your Nalan Clan. You make the call!”

Everyone in the venue also looked toward that middle-aged man.

Nalan Feng!

The current clan leader of the Nalan Clan.

Nalan Feng looked at the Heavenly Dragon Clan below. After a moment, he suddenly said, “Everyone, the Law of All Beings cannot fall into the hands of other universe civilizations, especially the Heavenly Dragon Clan and that Ancient Civilization.”

Someone immediately chimed in, “Right, we are all doing this for the Guanxuan Universe!”

With this statement, private interests instantly became public interests, and a sense of righteousness arose spontaneously.

Nalan Feng’s face was expressionless, “This law was originally invented for the people of the Guanxuan Universe. It belongs to our Guanxuan Universe. For our Guanxuan Universe to reclaim it is perfectly justified…”

Someone said with some concern, “What about the Young Master…”

Nalan Feng suddenly said, “Do you all think the Young Master was wrong?”

Everyone froze, none daring to answer.

Nalan Feng said calmly, “The Young Master is not wrong. He walks the path of the kingly way, so naturally he must be upright and honorable. However, he is too young. He doesn’t understand that in this world, many times you can’t just talk about the kingly way and justice. Take this Law of All Beings, for example. The Young Master is unwilling to forcibly seize it, but he hasn’t considered that if this law falls into the hands of foreign civilizations, what a great threat it will pose to our Guanxuan Universe.”

Someone immediately chimed in, “Yes, yes, the Young Master is too kind and too young. He hasn’t thought many things through thoroughly.”

The others also nodded in agreement. Someone continued, “Once this law falls into the hands of other civilizations, they may be able to contend with our Guanxuan Universe. Moreover, this law has already changed the rules of the existing cultivation realm system. If they continue to research it, the consequences would be truly unimaginable. Therefore, for the billions of beings in our Guanxuan Universe, even if we are shattered to pieces, we cannot let this law fall into the hands of foreign universe civilizations.”

“That’s right!”

Someone said coldly, “This law absolutely cannot fall into the hands of foreign civilizations. Also, that Ye Tianming cannot be allowed to live. This person is from our Guanxuan Universe, yet he betrays us from within, colluding with foreign civilizations to harm the Young Master. This person absolutely cannot be spared, lest he becomes a great calamity for our Guanxuan Universe in the future.”

Ye Tianming!

Hearing this name, everyone’s expressions darkened.

Ye Tianming’s rise was truly beyond their expectations. They hadn’t anticipated that someone from such a lowly family could grow to this extent, and moreover, defeat Yang Jia within the same realm. You must know that Yang Jia had possessed the best resources of the Guanxuan Universe since childhood.

This Ye Tianming now deeply hated the Guanxuan Universe and hated these aristocratic families. If they didn’t eliminate him now, once he rose to power in the future, he would threaten not only the Guanxuan Universe but also these aristocratic families.

Moreover, Ye Tianming now knew the Law of All Beings. Only by dealing with him could they truly prevent the Law of All Beings from leaking out. Most importantly, they absolutely couldn’t let him participate in this Universe Competition. Although they had absolute confidence in Yang Jia, they feared the what-ifs!

What if Yang Jia lost to Ye Tianming again in this Universe Competition… At that time, the Guanxuan Universe would be in an extremely passive position. For them, Yang Jia absolutely could not lose again, because they needed to use Yang Jia to unify the entire universe and obtain the resources of other universes.

Someone suddenly said, “The Heavenly Dragon Clan is not a concern. The main issue is that woman in the plain dress. Everyone, we must withstand one sword strike from that woman in the plain dress. Not only must we withstand her first sword, it would be best to directly kill her and eliminate future troubles forever…”

An elder suddenly said, “Then let’s eliminate her!”

Everyone looked at the elder. The elder’s face was expressionless as he said coldly, “When necessary, the Great Zhou can deploy that wisp of Nation-Protecting Sword Qi!”

Nation-Protecting Sword Qi!

In the venue, everyone was stunned, then smiled.

The Great Zhou did have a wisp of Nation-Protecting Sword Qi. How strong was that wisp of sword qi?

It could massacre anyone below the Drawing Circle Realm!!

Everyone smiled. Nalan Feng, who was at the head, smiled and said, “Then it’s a sure thing.”

That Great Zhou elder suddenly said, “Everyone, about that Law of All Beings…”

Nalan Feng smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Once we obtain the Law of All Beings, everyone will share it together. No one can monopolize it.”

Hearing Nalan Feng’s words, everyone quickly nodded in agreement.

“When do we make our move?”

Someone said excitedly.

The Law of All Beings!

Everyone had been coveting this Law of All Beings for a long time.

One could imagine that once this law fell into their hands, they could not only greatly enhance their own family’s strength, but unifying the entire universe would be within easy reach. As long as they unified the entire universe, their family forces could obtain even more resources.

Thinking of this, everyone in the venue couldn’t help but become excited. That was the territory and resources of the entire universe!

The current Guanxuan Universe was too small, too small for them. There wasn’t enough to go around anymore.

The pie needed to be bigger.

Everyone looked at Nalan Feng. They naturally followed Nalan Feng’s lead. The current Nalan Clan was officially the second super clan of the Guanxuan Universe, second only to the Yang family. And the Nalan Clan truly represented the interests of the privileged class of the various aristocratic families and sects.

Someone else asked, “When do we make our move?”

Clearly, they were already impatient.

Nalan Feng looked at the Heavenly Dragon Clan below, “This person now has not only the protection of the Heavenly Dragon Clan but also the protection of the Ancient Civilization. If we want to make our move, we need to deal not only with that woman in the plain dress but also with the Heavenly Dragon Clan and the Ancient Civilization. This time, we cannot have any mistakes. Contact the other aristocratic families and sects…”

Someone said in a deep voice, “Having other aristocratic families and sects come as well, this…”

Nalan Feng glanced at him, “The Law of All Beings cannot be taken by just our few families alone. Even if we take it, we’ll become the target of everyone. We must join forces with everyone. Think bigger.”

That person nodded and said nothing more.

Another person suddenly said, “If the Sword Sect could join, then this matter would be a sure thing.”

The Sword Sect!

Everyone fell silent.

This sect was the strongest sect in the Guanxuan Universe, but at the same time, those sword cultivators within this sect had truly stubborn personalities and tempers that were incredibly difficult to communicate with.

Nalan Feng said, “I’ll go talk to them.”

He still hoped to gain the Sword Sect’s support. If the Sword Sect could support them, then this matter would basically be settled. After all, with the Sword Sect’s terrifying strength, they could completely resist both the Heavenly Dragon Clan and the Ancient Civilization simultaneously.

At this moment, someone else said, “There’s another problem, and that’s the Young Master’s side. The Young Master has given instructions to let this matter rest. If we make our move, the Young Master will definitely find out. At that time…”

Everyone looked at Nalan Feng again.

After a moment of silence, Nalan Feng said, “Xiao Jia is young, and many of his ideas are immature. As his elders, we naturally need to help him shoulder more burdens…”
