Vol2 – Chapter 11 – Identity exposed, all parties in an uproar
The ministers and generals of Great Jin, including Qin Fenghuo, Lin Lu, and the Sea Prince, were all petrified, staring blankly at the figure in the sky.
"Sword... Sword Saint?!" Qin Fenghuo was struck as if by lightning, unable to recover for a long time.
The Emperor of Great Jin was not only able to foresee the future but was also an unparalleled prodigy on par with the Empress!
"Hey, Big Column Kingdom, don't lose heart. Although the Emperor is not a Sage, his swordsmanship is unparalleled. Given time, he can shoulder the burden of Great Jin's people," Lin Lu consoled.
The two were on the battlefield, surrounded by constant danger and death.
However, the news that Emperor Meng was the Space-Time Sword Saint was so shocking that neither of them had the heart to fight bravely anymore.
Qin Fenghuo spat and said, "Nonsense!"
"The Emperor must be a Sage; otherwise, how could he foresee the future? Just because the Sage riding a bull had no cultivation level doesn't mean future Sages can't surpass him."
"Haven't you heard the saying, 'The student surpasses the master'?"
Lin Lu asked, "If you had to choose between the Emperor and the Sage riding a bull, who would you pick?"
Without hesitation, Qin Fenghuo raised his hand, pointed to the figure in the sky, and said firmly, "I would choose the Emperor. He is the one everyone looks up to!"
Lin Lu's eyes showed a strange look, and he dared not say more, thinking to himself: It's over! Big Column Kingdom, you've been completely brainwashed by the Emperor and become his staunchest supporter.
Look down; your dignity is all over the ground!
One can't imagine what side Big Column Kingdom would take if the Emperor ever rebelled.
At the front line of the battlefield.
The Sea Prince looked up at the sky and said solemnly, "Unbelievable, Minister Meng is actually the Space-Time Sword Saint."
Thinking of how the Empress appointed Minister Meng as the commander of the three armies yesterday, he had raised objections.
Now, in retrospect...
"I truly admire Your Majesty's wisdom in recognizing a hero. Only the Emperor seems rather ordinary," the Sea Prince shook his head.
Balance Marquis 'Xia Zhi,' holding a blood-stained battle axe, wiped the enemy's blood off his face with his palm and casually said before diving back into the enemy ranks, "In my opinion, Your Majesty and Minister Meng seem more compatible."
Hearing this, the Sea Prince rubbed his chin, fell into deep thought, and murmured, "Indeed, the Emperor is unremarkable. Instead, Minister Meng and the Space-Time Sword Saint have repeatedly saved Great Jin. Now that the truth is out, Minister Meng is the Sword Saint. If he could become the Emperor, no one would object."
The more the Sea Prince thought about it, the more it made sense.
Since Meng Qingzhou's flash marriage with the Empress, becoming the Emperor of Great Jin, few in the court had seen him.
It's laughable that the Sea Prince didn't even know what the Emperor looked like.
"Always by Your Majesty's side is Minister Meng. At the Empress's birthday banquet, he fought the Seven Supreme Beings. When Zhao Yuhuan attacked the capital, with the Empress's life hanging by a thread, it was also Minister Meng who stepped forward. Now, in the Northern Expedition, it's still Minister Meng saving us..."
Thinking of this, the Sea Prince had only one thought in his mind—[Meng Qingzhou is unfit to be the Emperor! Minister Meng should take his place! Depose the current Emperor and establish a new one!]
"After this battle, if we win, I will push the ministers to jointly petition for this!"
Until the Hidden Sword Lord's eldest son, Jian Qiankun, ambushed him from behind, stabbing the Sea Prince in the kidney, the intense pain finally brought him back to his senses.
"Distracted on the battlefield? Courting death," Jian Qiankun sneered.
"Despicable rat, come and face me!" The Sea Prince clutched his kidney, furious and ashamed.
...
...
The reaction from the seven major forces was equally intense, causing an uproar.
"Meng Qin, the Sword Saint!?" Old Ancestor Taotie repeated, feeling restless and battle-ready.
The two Old Ancestors of Great Qian were astonished and said one after another:
"According to legend, Meng Qin was born blind but could glimpse a corner of fate and foresee the future. Could it be... he has cultivated the Dao of Space-Time to the point where he can travel freely between the future and the past, thus knowing future events?"
"If that's true, this child must not be left alive!"
The Emperor Grade Blood Puppet's bloodthirsty red eyes moved woodenly, looking at Meng Qingzhou, and uttered a single word: "Kill!"
When the Blood Sea Emperor created the blood puppet, he had set a kill order. If anyone killed him, the blood puppet would automatically lock onto the target and pursue them endlessly until the target was dead.
In an instant, the five Great Beings attacking Sister Qiong all focused on Meng Qingzhou.
Along with the Hidden Sword Lord and others, nine Great Beings simultaneously exuded killing intent, their gazes fixed on Meng Qingzhou.
"Meng Qin... is the Sword Saint Master?!" Sister Qiong was dumbfounded, her mind completely blank, almost breaking down.
All along, she had looked down on Meng Qingzhou, often scolding him to his face, and had repeatedly compared Meng Qin to the Space-Time Sword Saint in front of many people, deliberately belittling Meng Qingzhou.
Of course, she did this because she didn't want the dignified Space-Time Sword Saint to follow a mere mortal around all day like a tool...
"It's over, it's over!"
Sister Qiong held her face with her ten slender, white fingers, her eyes filled with despair, looking at Meng Qingzhou through the gaps.
"Everything is over!"
Sister Qiong remembered something!
A few days ago, she and Dongfang Liuli had made a Heavenly Dao oath not to compete with each other and to pursue their own men. But now... the Emperor and the Sword Saint turned out to be the same person!
What about the Heavenly Dao oath?!
You know, one of the terms of the oath was that anyone who broke it would be struck dead by Heavenly Punishment along with their loved one.
"What should I do? Someone save me." Sister Qiong rubbed her face, wanting to cry but having no tears, her expression extremely dejected.
"I'm really good for nothing, always causing trouble!"
"Stupid Qiong, foolish Qiong, troublemaker Qiong! Always causing trouble for the Sword Saint Master!"
Sister Qiong kept knocking her head, making a banging sound.
Suddenly.
Sister Qiong's hand movements slowly stopped, as if she had thought of something, and murmured to herself:
"Hey..."
"Wait!"
"The Emperor is the Sword Saint, but the Emperor is also the husband of the Empress of Great Jin..."
Thinking of this, Sister Qiong's face turned expressionless, her empty, silent eyes appearing extremely deep. Her voice was as cold as a dead person, mechanically tilting her head: "Oh, so I've been betrayed."
At this moment.
The five Great Beings who had originally surrounded her all rushed towards Meng Qingzhou, intending to capture him as quickly as possible.
"I'm very unhappy, very upset. So, do you also despise a gloomy girl?"
Sister Qiong suddenly raised her head, no longer hiding her power, and with a simple gesture, she pulled her hands together and then yanked them back.
"Come back to me!"
With this simple action, a terrifying scene unfolded.
The entire world seemed to wrinkle like a curtain with Sister Qiong's pull, and the five Great Beings were uncontrollably pulled back.
"Void Dark Realm."
Sister Qiong murmured softly, raising her hand and snapping her fingers at the five Great Beings flying back.
Snap!
Under Sister Qiong's cold gaze, a black hole containing countless stars suddenly expanded from the size of a grain of rice, enveloping the five Great Beings.
Old Ancestor Taotie looked up helplessly and fearfully at the Void Dark Realm, like a lid covering them, and couldn't help but curse, "Damn! It's you! We were born from the same root, why the rush to harm each other!"
Such a distinctive divine power, Old Ancestor Taotie recognized it at a glance and knew who was impersonating the Empress!
A Glutton and a Wild Beast, both born as divine beings, though the latter was of a higher rank. Saying they were of the same origin wasn't wrong either...
