522 Li Dynasty Senior Grand Tutor Hong (1/2)
Western Capital was about 4.3 million miles away from northwest Wuyang Region. At Zhou Bao's current speed, it would be covered within an hour so he could take it leisurely.
The central of Great Jin was really different from what he remembered.
After two big incidents, the current West Capital could no longer be as peaceful as it was after annihilating Northen Yuan. Subtedly, an unspeakable serious murderous vibe could still be felt in the air.
”Such heavy killing atmosphere!” Just sais as he got closer to Western Captial and started to already feel that horrible atmosphere.
In just a short period of time, two catastrophes had struck the city. Although Western Capital was not completely destroyed, the nearby Mingyi Lane was a complete ruin. When Zhou Bao neared Mingyi Lane, he realized that it had already started to be rebuilt: A grand hall 100 times more imposing than the original Mingyi School was being built right there. The main pillars were already in place, and the giant signboard above said ”School of Five Virtues”. Zhou Bao saw it and a sinister smile flashed across his face.
School of Five Virtues!
After Mingyi School went through a complete defeat with huge destruction included, the School of Five Virtues behind it finally surfaced. It was definitely much stronger than Mingyi School, but most importantly, it meant that Divine Wind Palace was finally going to strongly intervene in the matters of Central Mainland Region.
In the past, Mingyi School represented the justice and orthodoxy of the Jin dynasty, and regardless it was still just a small branch of the School of Five Virtues, so it was not directly related to Divine Wind Palace. Hence, the Palace did not bother too much about a small school like that one. However, the School of Five Virtues was different. It was an influence directly under the Palace. While the four sects may have the courage to fight and kill in Mingyi School, or even to destroy Uniform Dao, once the sign changed to School of Five Virtues, they would be unable to do so. Even if they want to fight the School of Five Virtues, they are forced to avoid a face to face encounter and think of more mischevious ideas as the Divine Palace could use the school to justify its intervention in the conflict.
”So, after all, these rough people who only know how to fight may look like they have gained an advantage but eventually, they'll still be cheated by Divine Wind Palace. The signboard of the School of Five Virtues up means the flag of Divine Wind Palace is flying!” Zhou Bao said as he smiled helplessly to himself. He swayed his body and walked away.
”Who is that person spying over here? Catch him!” Just when Zhou Bao turned his body and was ready to leave, he heard a shout followed by horses galloping. A team of generals immediately rushed in front of him and surrounded him.
”Who are you? How did you come in? Didn't you know that Mingyi Lane has already been sealed off?!”
”Whoosh!” A cold light flashed and a snowy bright sharp gun was pointed against Zhou Bao's throat.
Zhou Bao furrowed his eyebrows. He looked at all these knights in heavy armors. They all had obvious killing intent, and their Fierce Qi shot out of the roof. What amazed Zhou Bao was that the armors were not of Jin's. Their abilities were unpredictable. It was not that Zhou Bao could not see through them, it was just that they were too strong. The knight holding the gun against him was a Level Eight expert!
Level Eight expert!
Such a powerful warrior was surprisingly a soldier, even a riding soldier was too low for his strength. Among the other knights, half of them were Level Seven experts and the other half were all at the peak of Level Six!
The Jin dynasty was indeed powerful. However, it would be impossible to come up with such knights. These people, when placed in any big family, were to be served by the elders, they did not have to suffer being mere soldiers.
However right now, he could clearly feel that these people were not temporary knights, they had the killing instinct of someone who spent their lives on the battlefield.
”Interesting!” Zhou Bao murmured. He did not try to cover his voice. Instead, he was even snickering. ”Who are you guys, can't you see that I'm a soldier of Great Jin!”
”Huh?!” The leading knight squinted his eyes and stared at Zhou Bao intensely. Things were not as easy as he thought. Zhou Bao was not a scholar who unintentionally stepped into that forbidden place as he first guessed. Moreover, even though he was ready to kill Zhou Bao, this blue-clothed scholar did not even twitch under his killing intent. Instead, he was very curious. He did not even care about the gun pointing against his throat. To be that confident in that situation he must have some secret weapon. However, what could it be? Perhaps he was the emperor's relative?
Thinking of this, he smiled coldly. He had seen the emperor's relatives, even killed some himself. Does this idiot not know?
Therefore, he did not bother about Zhou Bao any longer. He retrieved his long spear violently and shouted some orders. ”Fu Sheng, take him down, send him to the Emperor of Jin, let him be punished!”
”Yes!” One of the knights answered loudly. He reached out his hand and went to grab Zhou Bao by the collar.
”Seems like you guys are indeed not people of Jin!” Zhou Bao said, and then he smiled very heartily. He suddenly lifted his hand and aimed for that knight named Fu Sheng.
