My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 666: Luring the Tiger Off the Mountain

Qin Feng’s expression was serious. Garuda King’s strength was astounding, akin to that of a god-like transcendence realm. Now that the Garuda Clan was leaderless, if the Garuda King fully recovered, the clan would undoubtedly be even more difficult to deal with.

As for Drum’s side, it went without saying. Although the Divine Guardian had severely injured Drum during the invasion of the Imperial City, the Transcendence Realm expert had still managed to escape. The thought of his strength reaching its peak again was terrifying.

“However, Father, there’s something I’m curious about. Why is there so much more Yin Qi in the Southern realm compared to the other three realms?”

Father Qin pondered for a moment before replying, “I’m not exactly sure of the specific reasons. It’s just that since ancient times, the South Domain has been plagued by excessive Yin Qi, frequent demons and ghost troubles.”

“Some speculate that it might be because when the gods and demons descended in ancient times, a large number of them fell into the South Domain, changing its environment. Or perhaps the South Domain itself is a strange place, with imbalances in yin and yang, leading to this situation.”

Qin Feng nodded and did not dwell on the matter.

On the sidelines, Qin An took the opportunity to seek his father’s guidance on cultivation. Although he couldn’t help him much with blade path, he could still give him a lot of guidance on how to control Vigor Qi.

Qin Feng didn’t waste any time either. After merging his consciousness with the Divine Sea, he began to condense the Destiny Stars into a single place.

After relentless efforts during this period, the number of Destiny Stars in the Divine Sea was only about a quarter of its original number.

The condensed Destiny Star, glowing with platinum brilliance, became more and more dazzling. Among the many Destiny Stars, it seemed to be as bright as the sun.

‘After that night, the speed at which I condensed the Destiny Star has increased significantly. I think it won’t be long before I can condense all the Destiny Stars together.’

‘But I wonder why this platinum Destiny Star forged by fusion looks so similar to the one my teacher manifested? Hmm, maybe this also means that I am not just an ordinary Literature Saint, but someone who can rival the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower.’

Qin Feng nodded slightly, quite satisfied with this realization.

As time flew by, it had unknowingly become late night. Inside the house, all three of them were practicing, guiding the qi in their bodies. At that moment, the quiet night was shattered by loud noises.

The streets were filled with chaotic footsteps, the clatter of hooves, and the neighing of horses.

Someone shouted loudly, “All soldiers of the Military War Duke’s Army, gather quickly!”

Qin Feng and the others stood up, exchanging glances with serious expressions on their faces.

They knew that something important must have happened.

In no time, all the soldiers had put on their clothes and armor and gathered on the main street. At first glance, they appeared disciplined and orderly, their formation stretching as far as the eye could see.

From the commanding officer on horseback, the soldiers learned the reason for the sudden midnight assembly – several Heavenly Cities had been invaded by the enemy and were now in grave danger!

…

In the attic, Luo Yu looked out of the window at the continuous blaze of lights on the street, and his gaze fixed on a certain tavern.

Sun Qi appeared out of thin air, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, “These guys are really efficient. Attacking Heavenly Cities thousands of miles apart at the same time.”

“Beasts with the bloodline of gluttonous devils and the innate divine ability of spatial manipulation can cross thousands of miles in an instant,” Luo Yu muttered softly.

“Originally, I was hoping that they would just attack the closest City to distract everyone’s attention, but I didn’t expect such a big move. Could it be that things are coming to an end at Tianshan Mountain?” Sun Qi speculated.

Seeing Luo Yu’s lack of response, Sun Qi continued to talk to himself, “The disaster in the Southern Domain this time is no small matter. The Demon Slaying Department will surely suffer heavy casualties, and who knows how many of the Divine Marquis Army and the Military War Duke Army rushing out of Imperial City will make it back alive. Imperial City will undoubtedly be severely weakened.”

“By using this disaster to clean up the Southern Domain and eliminate the dissidents while weakening Imperial City, you and Prince Luo have achieved two goals with one stone.” 

“When the time comes, you will establish yourself as the king of the Southern Territory and break away from Imperial City.”

“I’m just curious about one thing: what kind of deal did you make with the Garuda Clan? Coexisting with them in the Southern Domain is like courting disaster. After their king returns to his peak, will they join you in opposing the Imperial City?”

Luo Yu turned his head to look at him and frowned. “You talked a bit too much today.” 

“That’s what scholars are like, they just want to satisfy their curiosity,” Sun Qi shrugged.

“These are things you don’t need to know. We are allies only because our interests coincide. I want to deal with Imperial City, and you want to deal with the National Teacher of Heavenly Tower. That’s all,” Luo Yu replied.

“That makes sense,” Sun Qi nodded in agreement.

“The stage for your performance in Wucheng has already been prepared for you. Since you still need to test the effectiveness of Divine Medicine with the Garuda Clan, why are you staying here?” Luo Yu asked.

“You have to have someone to set up the stage for you to sing, right?  The main actor has just left. There’s no harm in being a little late,” Sun Qi replied with a faint smile.

“But your presence here is an inconvenience to me,” Luo Yu said calmly.

“I’m bored here. I’ll take my leave first,” Sun Qi said before disappearing on the spot.

“Immortal Technique – Shrink to Inch,” Luo Yu muttered to himself.

Not long after Sun Qi left, in the room where the candle flames were flickering, a large, bloodthirsty mouth suddenly appeared, and a dark and heavy foot stepped out of it. It was the Ghost Buddha!

Luo Yu was not surprised. He took a sip of tea and said, “The Military War Duke’s Army and Prince Luo’s Army have just left Prince Luo City. If you intend to act against this place, it’s best to wait a moment.”

“We could have acted a long time ago, but you keep dragging your feet,” Ghost Buddha said coldly.

“If Prince Luo’s heavily guarded Prince Luo City is easily breached by you, wouldn’t it be too obvious? We haven’t gotten to the point where we can show our faces to the Imperial City yet. We must continue the charade.”

“Besides, if I hadn’t informed you of the weak defenses of the other Heavenly Cities, you wouldn’t have been able to disrupt the Dragon Vein of the Southern Regions so easily.”

Ghost Buddha shrugged and looked around. “Where did that cross-eyed guy go?”

Luo Yu replied, “Of course, he has important matters to attend to.”

“He is a High Grade Literature Saint of unknown origin, I advise you to keep a close eye on him. Don’t unwittingly lead a rat into the granary,” Ghost Buddha sneered.

“No need for your reminder.”

In fact, Luo Yu and Prince Luo had never relaxed their vigilance against Sun Qi, so there had always been powerful secret guards watching over him. Over the years of observation, their caution towards him had diminished somewhat.

Aside from other things, at the very least, the success of today’s miraculous medicine was undoubtedly due to Sun Qi’s involvement.

Seeing this, Ghost Buddha didn’t say much more. After all, their relationship with Prince Luo’s side was just one of mutual exploitation.

…

The night was dark as ink, and the Duke’s Military War Army was speeding along the Huarong Road.

The distance between Wucheng City and Prince Luo City was only one hundred miles. The soldiers of the Military War Duke’s Army were all skilled warriors, and even though they encountered no obstacles on the Huarong Road, it was still unrealistic to expect them to reach Wucheng City for rescue in a short time.

At the back of the column, Qin Feng asked in a low voice, “Father, why not let me call the Golden-Winged Great Peng and lead the Military War Duke Army to Wucheng City?”

“For the Golden-Winged Great Peng, this distance is only a few flaps of its wings. If it hurries, even if it arrives, Wucheng City might already have been destroyed by the enemy.”

Father Qin was well aware of this point.

It’s just that before leaving the Imperial City, the National Teacher of Heavenly Tower had entrusted him with two secret letters, and just now, one of the secret letters had changed and spit out a piece of paper.

Four words were written on it: “Lure the tiger out of the mountain.”
