Chapter 236 The Four Ancient Clans Join Forces to Force the Immortal Sect
"Eleventh Elder, what brings you here?"
Qin Wu looked at the newcomer.
"Young Wu, did you do what happened to Shuiyue?"
The eleventh elder sat down on the stone bench opposite Qin Wu.
He was shocked when he received the message from Qin Yiming.
He truly hadn't expected that the Immortal Sect would secretly send out a terrestrial immortal in order to deal with the Imperial Sword Sect.
More importantly, this terrestrial deity was actually killed.
Upon receiving this news, his first thought was that Qin Wu was behind it.
Because in the entire Central Continent, only Qin Wu could do this; no one else could do it, nor could they know that the Immortal Sect had secretly sent out a Land Immortal Realm expert.
That's why he came to ask Qin Wu.
"Oh? Why do you ask that?"
Qin Wu did not answer directly, but instead looked at the Eleventh Elder with a half-smile.
He already knew when he sent Qin Jian to make his move that he couldn't hide it from the Eleventh Elder and the others, after all, Qin Jian had spent some time on Shenwu Island before.
They had all seen Qin Jian and knew his strength.
"Did Qin Jian leave Shenwu Island a while ago to kill Shuiyue?"
The eleventh elder acted as if he hadn't seen Qin Wu's expression at all.
"Haha, Eleventh Elder, since you know, why ask? You must have come here for something else!"
Qin Wu did not answer, but the Eleventh Elder knew.
Shuiyue died at Qin Jian's hands.
It seems he underestimated the strength of Qin Wu's men.
"Indeed, Qin Yiming sent word that he wants me to send a powerful expert to oversee the situation and prevent him from being attacked by that mysterious terrestrial immortal."
Who do you think should be sent?
The eleventh elder smiled and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Really?"
Qin Wu looked at the Eleventh Elder with a half-smile.
This was a test, as they had guessed what the Eleventh Elder wanted to do.
They were also asking for his opinion, to see if he wanted to send someone over.
"That's for sure. Do you have any ideas?"
The eleventh elder inquired.
"Why don't we let Qin Jian go?"
Qin Wu drank the tea in his hand and glanced at the Eleventh Elder with a half-smile.
"Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you."
"Now that this matter has been discussed, I'll head back now."
Seeing that Qin Wu had made the arrangements, the eleventh elder left without any hesitation.
"Old fox."
Qin Wu laughed and cursed.
He then sent a message to Qin Jian, asking him to temporarily go to Qin Du to take charge.
This would allow them to temporarily evade the Immortal Sect's search and mislead them.
After all, no one expected that the person who killed Shuiyue would dare to appear in public.
After receiving the news, Qin Jian went directly to Qin Du and met with Qin Yiming.
Qin Yiming was somewhat surprised to see Qin Jian. He hadn't seen all the land immortals in his clan, but he had heard of all the younger generation.
But he had never seen or heard of Qin Jian.
However, since they were sent by the two elders, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After meeting Qin Yiming, Qin Jian went to the Divine Martial King's Mansion and hid there.
No one knew that the murderer who killed Shuiyue was actually in the Divine Martial King's Palace.
The Immortal Sect is still searching everywhere for the murderer who killed Shuiyue.
They even sent people to meet with the leaders of the four ancient clans, asking them to help find the murderer.
All four agreed and pretended to send someone to investigate.
Now all forces are mobilized, but the Immortal Sect has completely lost face.
Not only did they secretly send out a terrestrial deity, but the deity was also killed.
This news also reached the Central Region.
Upon learning of this, all the major powers secretly mocked the Immortal Sect, realizing they had failed miserably.
However, the four ancient clans used this as a pretext to pressure the Immortal Sect, demanding an explanation as to why they had secretly dispatched terrestrial immortals.
The Immortal Sect tried to shirk responsibility by citing their inspection of the Central Plains.
But how could the four ancient clans let the Immortal Sect off the hook?
The four ancient clans amassed a large force and continued to put pressure on the Immortal Sect, ultimately leaving the Immortal Sect with no choice.
Only by offering compensation could the four ancient clans finally give up and agree to send terrestrial immortals to Zhongzhou to oversee the situation.
However, each faction can send a maximum of two people; no more than two can be sent.
In this way, just like the Immortal Sect, it would have eight terrestrial immortals stationed in the Central Plains.
This angered the sect leader of the Central Region Immortal Sect so much that he vomited blood several times.
However, there was nothing they could do, and in the end they could only send an elder to Zhongzhou to oversee the situation, and of course, they also sent him a punishment.
He blamed the head of the Zhongzhou branch for acting recklessly.
Two months later.
The people sent by the four ancient clans finally arrived in Qin capital.
The four ancient tribes also announced a united front.
The Western Zhou also submitted a letter of surrender, and the Western Zhou empress was granted the title of the first female king of the Eastern Qin, with the title of Xuan Niao, which was based on the national bird totem of the former Western Zhou.
From then on, the Shenwu Army temporarily ceased hostilities and did not continue its eastward expedition.
However, millions of allied troops from other countries have amassed at the border to guard against Eastern Qin and prevent it from launching further military campaigns.
After all, the current strength of the Eastern Qin is too great. If left unchecked, Eastern Qin may actually be able to unify the Central Continent.
That's not what the Immortal Sect and other forces want to see.
However, the coalition forces were nothing but a joke in the eyes of the five generals.
If it weren't for the fact that the time wasn't right yet, and their prince's order, they would have considered this army of millions to be nothing more than a bunch of ragtag soldiers.
However, Qi Ye and the others took this opportunity to begin their closed-door cultivation and breakthrough.
All military affairs were handed over to his deputy general.
The end of the great war in Dongqin does not mean that Zhongzhou is at peace. After all, Dongqin only occupies less than one-tenth of Zhongzhou's territory, and more than nine-tenths of the territory is still in the midst of war.
After learning about the situation in Dongqin, many people who were close to Dongqin secretly came to Dongqin.
As a result, Dongqin received a large number of people, which increased Dongqin's population considerably.
The Emperor of Eastern Qin was overjoyed upon seeing this and ordered strict control of the border, accepting all those who were not imperial spies.
To this end, the Emperor of Eastern Qin also dispatched several officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue to take charge of the matter.
On the surface, Dong Qin appeared calm again.
But in the shadows, a storm was brewing.
The four ancient clans and the Immortal Sect lineage also secretly began to fight each other.
Both sides suffered considerable losses, with many Grandmaster-level experts falling.
It even injured many civilians. In order to ensure the safety of the people, the Emperor of Dongqin directly ordered that no martial artist in any city should fight, and that anyone found doing so should be arrested immediately.
The Black Dragon Guards were mobilized in full and suppressed many people.
Even Grandmaster-level experts were captured and imprisoned.
After defeating more than a dozen grandmasters, all the martial artists realized that Dong Qin was serious and truly dared to do so.
This has caused all factions to be extremely dissatisfied with Eastern Qin, and some have even secretly taken action against the Black Dragon Guard.
Finally, the Black Dragon Guard carried out a bloody crackdown, striking fear into the hearts of all factions, who ultimately dared not act rashly in the city again.
This ensured that at least the city of Dongqin was safe.
As for the wild, there's no way to guarantee that, since manpower is limited and it's impossible to protect everyone.
