Anomalies in the Great Qing Capital City, Suppressed with a Raise of the Hand

Across the northern lands, a magnificent scroll of ice and snow slowly unfurled.

Looking into the distance, the earth for a thousand miles was covered in a thick layer of ice, resembling a giant silver mirror reflecting the cold light of winter.

However, Lin Hanzhou had no mood to appreciate this exotic scenery at this moment.

His figure was like a black bolt of lightning, streaking across the vast snowfield.

In just half a day, he had crossed an unknown distance, arriving near Hertu, the capital city of Great Qing.

The closer he got to this majestic city built on the ice sheet, the more clearly he could feel the anomalies of this place.

"Such dense spiritual energy; could there be a high-grade spiritual vein here?"

Lin Hanzhou felt the spiritual energy in the air growing increasingly thick, and he could not help but marvel.

The spiritual energy here was so dense it had almost condensed into substance.

A layer of faint spiritual mist drifted through the air.

Even the top-tier spiritual veins in the Capital City of the Great Gan Dynasty could not compare to the concentration of energy here.

"I didn't come to the wrong place after all; there is definitely a great secret here."

Without a shred of hesitation, he charged directly into the imperial palace of Great Qing.

Inside the imperial palace, the scene remained quiet and peaceful.

Clearly, news of the defeat on the Great Qing front had not yet reached this place.

Soon, Lin Hanzhou's figure entered the palace grounds.

At this moment, a grand banquet was being held throughout the entire palace.

It seemed they were so certain the ten Grandmasters would conquer Great Gan that they had started celebrating with champagne early.

"Holding such a grand banquet without inviting me? It seems you have already chosen your path to death."

The corners of Lin Hanzhou's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile.

"Who are you? This is the Great Qing imperial palace; is this a place for a piece of trash like you to enter?"

"Oh, why waste words on such a lowly commoner? Where are the imperial guards? How did they let such a commoner in?"

"Hm? He doesn't look like one of our Great Qing people; he doesn't even have a Queue Tail Rat. This is a Han from Great Gan!"

As the high-ranking officials chattered, the imperial guards who had heard the commotion surrounded Lin Hanzhou.

"Audacious Han, how dare you run wild in our Great Qing imperial palace! Do you know what kind of capital crime this is?"

An old man dressed in magnificent robes walked over slowly. His eyes were sharp, and his aura revealed him to be a powerful Martial Master.

"Sorry about that, I forgot to hide my presence when I came in. Please, cooperate with me."

Lin Hanzhou waved his hand, his tone casual.

Immediately, an invisible, terrifying aura erupted from him, spreading outward!

All the imperial guards surrounding him, whether Martial Master or otherwise, were struck as if by lightning, spitting blood and flying backward.

Those low-cultivation officials were instantly reduced to blood mist, leaving not even bones behind.

The entire scene was suppressed by Lin Hanzhou with a mere wave of his hand.

"Audacious! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are a Grandmaster?"

"This is the center of supreme power in Great Qing, this is My palace!"

As he spoke, an aura at the level of a Grandmaster surged upward; the man was none other than the current Emperor of Great Qing.

"Hm? A Grandmaster? And another inferior Grandmaster at that. No, wait? This one seems slightly better than those ten inferior ones."

Feeling the Grandmaster-level aura, Lin Hanzhou pondered for a moment before making his assessment.

Following that, before the Great Qing Emperor could react, he unleashed a Great Sun Divine Fist.

This punch shone like the great sun through the ages, instantly pinning the Great Qing Emperor to the ground, unable to move.

"How is this possible? I am a Grandmaster, how could I be so easily defeated?!"

Realizing he was immobilized, the Great Qing Emperor looked at Lin Hanzhou in terror, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible. Now, it is time for me to ask and you to answer."

"I ask you, what is going on with the spiritual energy in Great Qing? And what about those ten Grandmasters?"

Lin Hanzhou sat cross-legged on the ground, resting his chin on one hand, and questioned the Great Qing Emperor on the floor.

"I... I don't know... I really don't know anything!"

When the Great Qing Emperor heard this question, his expression changed in an unusual way.

But he covered it up instantly, putting on a display of being scared out of his wits and babbling incoherently.

"It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."
