Chapter 413: For Qing Si

"Senior Brother, why is it you?" Bei Qingsi sheathed her sword and approached with a group of people towards Shui Wuheng and others.

"Senior Brother?" The thirty people beside Bei Qingsi frowned and looked at Shui Wuheng. The massacre had been swift; who were these people?

"We just happened to pass through here. Who are these people with you?" Shui Wuheng asked, puzzled.

"These are my martial brothers from the Eternal Realm!" Bei Qingsi replied.

"Eternal Realm?" Shui Wuheng furrowed his brow.

"Yes," Bei Qingsi nodded.

"Congratulations then," Shui Wuheng nodded back.

"Senior Brother is already the marshal of the Grand Luo Empire?" Bei Qingsi exclaimed.

Shui Wuheng smiled faintly.

"We are from the Zhong Clan Army," Lin Xiao interjected.

"Zhong Clan Army? Zhong..." Bei Qingsi\'s expression suddenly turned serious.

"Marshal Zhongshan!" Lin Xiao continued.

"Zhongshan?" Bei Qingsi\'s expression changed, a hint of complexity flickering in her eyes.

"Where is he?" Bei Qingsi asked softly.

"The Marshal had urgent matters and left earlier. If you\'re willing, you can join our troops for a while. It shouldn\'t be long before he returns," Lin Xiao said.

As Lin Xiao spoke, Shui Wuheng seemed to realize something. Was there something between Senior Brother and Bei Qingsi?

"Yes! Why don\'t you wait a few days?" Shui Wuheng immediately suggested.

Glancing at the army with complexity, Bei Qingsi shook her head. "Knowing he\'s doing well is enough for me. We have other matters to attend to!"

The martial brothers of Bei Qingsi frowned. Who exactly was Zhongshan?

"You\'re not staying?" Lin Xiao furrowed his brows.

"No!" Bei Qingsi shook her head with a smile.

Seeing Lin Xiao\'s expression, Shui Wuheng immediately guessed that there must be a significant relationship between Bei Qingsi and the Marshal.

"Then, Sister, where are you headed?" Shui Wuheng asked, at least wanting to find out Bei Qingsi\'s next destination for Zhongshan\'s sake.

Glancing at Shui Wuheng and then at Lin Xiao, Bei Qingsi naturally understood their intentions. She sighed softly. "We, thirty-some people, are sent by the Eternal Realm for a trial. Our mission is to eradicate the Mo Yan Legion, this wicked group, and bring clarity to the world, accumulating merit for the Eternal Realm."

"Eradicate the Mo Yan Legion?" Shui Wuheng frowned.

"Yes, the Mo Yan Legion operates extensively in this area, with several hundred thousand members. Our task is to root out the source, destroy their headquarters, and eliminate their leaders," Bei Qingsi explained.

"Do you need our help?" Shui Wuheng asked.

"No need! This is our affair in the Eternal Realm! Just hand over the two leaders you captured earlier," Bei Qingsi said.

"Alright," Shui Wuheng could only sigh.

"Two leaders, you can only take one away. The other one, we need to answer to the Marshal," Lin Xiao shook his head.

"Sure!" Beiqingsi nodded.

Zhongshan had returned, but it was too late. Beiqingsi had already left without a trace, embarking on the trial in the Realm of Longevity.

The army camped in a vast mountain valley.

Inside the central military tent.

Zhongshan, Mr. Shi, Lin Xiao, Shui Wuhen, Zhihuo, and Liu Wushuang, six individuals, gazed at a burly man in black robes who was their captive.

There was a divine seal \'幺\' on the man\'s forehead, but after a period of imprisonment, this \'幺\' had faded into obscurity.

Clearly, as Sekong mentioned earlier, he had already learned to activate the divine seal.

"I don\'t know!" the burly man said.

"Don\'t know?" Zhongshan\'s eyes turned cold.

He seemed very afraid of Zhongshan\'s tone, as if he had just undergone torture.

"I really don\'t know. I\'m just a peripheral leader. Although I\'ve activated the divine seal, every time I collect hearts and souls, I hand them over to my superior, who then passes them up the chain until they reach the master," the burly man quickly explained.

"Activate the divine seal? How many others have activated it?" Zhongshan asked.

"I don\'t know. We are also innocent. We used to be ordinary cultivators until we were implanted with the divine seal. Unable to activate it, we had no thoughts of our own, only obedience. There was also boundless cruelty. Once the divine seal is activated, we are withdrawn. Despite the immense power bestowed by the divine seal, if the master is displeased, even from millions of miles away, we will be punished. Moreover, every year, we must take an antidote; without it, the divine seal will detonate us! We dare not betray!" the burly man said fearfully.

Zhongshan narrowed his eyes. Then he turned and walked out, the others following closely behind.

"General, are you going to find Beiqingsi?" Shui Wuhen asked with slight confusion.

Everyone looked at Zhongshan together.

"I\'m going," Zhongshan nodded.

"But, General, how will you find Beiqingsi in such a vast Divine Land?" Shui Wuhen worried.

"If fate allows, we will meet across a thousand miles. Besides, she has already told us her destination: the stronghold of the Nightmare Legion. I\'ll wait for her there," Zhongshan said. Not knowing Beiqingsi\'s whereabouts was one thing, but to not see her when she was near was unthinkable.

"However!" Shui Wuhen frowned.

"Enough, my mind is made up! Mr. Shi, you\'ll come with me. As for the rest of you, I have other arrangements!" Zhongshan thought for a moment.

"Yes!" everyone immediately agreed —

Above a white cloud stood three figures.

One was the burly man interrogated by Zhongshan not long ago. The other two were completely unfamiliar, disguised as Zhongshan and Mr. Shi.

"I\'m Zhong Shuai," Zhongshan said to Mr. Shi after their transformation.

"I\'m Shi Si," Mr. Shi replied.

The burly man in front looked at them and then pointed to a distant mountain valley, "It\'s over there. My superior is in that valley."

Zhongshan and Mr. Shi exchanged a glance, then descended from the cloud.

"You lead the way! Lead us in and help us infiltrate. We\'ll go to headquarters together to deliver the Soul Stone and the Heart," Zhongshan said.

"Yes!" The burly man nodded immediately, leading the way with a fleeting hint of malice in his eyes.

Not far ahead lay the mouth of a valley, shrouded by an array that obscured the view inside, with only one entrance below.

Zhongshan and his two companions rushed towards the entrance.

"Save me~~~~~~~~~~!" Suddenly, the burly man beside Zhongshan shouted loudly.

The burly man sprinted towards the valley, his eyes filled with ferocity. It was evident that accompanying Zhongshan and his companion was intentional, leading them into the valley to ambush and eliminate them.

Upon reaching the valley mouth, upon seeing what seemed to be \'their own people\', he immediately shouted and dashed towards the valley.

The two men in blue robes guarding the valley entrance froze upon seeing the unexpected trio.

Zhongshan and Mr. Shi saw the burly man\'s betrayal, unsurprised as Zhongshan had already anticipated his deceit.

"Save me~~~~~~~~~~!" Zhongshan and Mr. Shi also shouted simultaneously, their faces mirroring the burly man\'s panic.

The burly man hesitated for a moment, then turned to see Zhongshan and Mr. Shi with identical expressions, feeling something was amiss, something very wrong.

"Whoosh~~~~~~~~~~!" The burly man, with a hint of disbelief, looked down at his chest where a shattered Gang Qi arrow had pierced his Purple Palace, shattering his Nascent Soul.

With fear driving them, Zhongshan and Mr. Shi hastened their pace, quickly reaching the depths of the valley.

A large group of people emerged from within the valley upon seeing the burly man fall, swiftly casting spells to retrieve him.

"Whoosh~~~~~~~~~~!" Another broken Gang Qi arrow shot from a distant mountain peak, aimed directly at Zhongshan\'s back.

"Bang~~~~~~~~~~!" An elder next to Zhongshan shattered the arrow with a palm strike.

"Go~~~~~~~~~~!" The elder ordered, and over a dozen people swiftly flew towards the distant mountain peak.

On the far-off mountain peak stood the Flame Wolf General. Upon seeing the approaching group, he turned and fled.

"Who are you people?" the elder asked Zhongshan and Mr. Shi.

"I\'m Zhong Shuai, and he\'s Shi Si. While accompanying our commander on a mission, we were besieged by attackers from the Realm of Longevity. During the siege, both of us activated the divine seal and managed to escape with our commander," Zhongshan explained.

"Oh?" The elder narrowed his eyes.

Zhongshan and Mr. Shi simultaneously pointed to their foreheads, where a dark \'幺\' suddenly appeared, and their aura abruptly intensified, emanating faint black energy from their bodies.

The imitation divine seals—over these past few days, Zhongshan and Mr. Shi had already devised a method to mimic the divine seal through the deceased burly man. Though it lacked the true effect of the divine seal, the imitation looked almost identical.

"Hmm!" The elder nodded.

"Shall we withdraw?" Zhongshan pointed to the pattern on their foreheads.

The elder nodded, and the imitation divine seals on Zhongshan and Mr. Shi\'s foreheads vanished.

"How many people from the Realm of Longevity were involved in the assassination attempts?" the elder asked again.

"At first, there were only about thirty, but later, tens of thousands appeared. We couldn\'t withstand them," Zhongshan shook his head.

"Indeed, but those tens of thousands were not from the Realm of Longevity; you just had the misfortune," the elder shook his head.
