The Shock of Huaxia's Pillar of the Nation (Thanks to boss "Wangcai from Caiyun Province" for the verification!)
Within the territory of Hanxia, there lies the strategically important Shanhai Pass Huaxia.
The once solemn and majestic pass has also become mottled with the ravages of time.
Night had fallen, but the area inside the pass was brightly lit.
A tall, elderly man dressed in a purple Daoist Robe mingled in the city, his steps light and unhurried as he crossed the defense line and entered the heart of the pass under the watchful eyes of many law enforcement officers.
Yet no one noticed the slightest clue.
Even the sensing array capable of warning Martial Dao Grandmaster could not detect his presence; the old man in the Daoist Robe appeared like a ghost in the Judgment Courtyard of the core area.
His aged eyes gleamed with a lion-like domineering aura as he leisurely swept his gaze across the courtyard.
I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Yang Qingshan has not yet broken through to the Hegemony Realm, so why is there a residual aura here comparable to that of Land Immortal?
The old man in the Daoist Robe didn't think much of it.
You'll know the answer if you just ask the person involved.
He shook his head, then took another step and disappeared into the courtyard.
"..."
Inside the house, Yang Qingshan sat motionless at the wooden table, completely unaware of the old man's arrival in the courtyard.
The coarse tea on the table had long been spilled, its aroma filling the air, but it couldn't attract Yang Qingshan's attention in the slightest.
At this moment, he was focused entirely on the seemingly ordinary document in his hand.
The expression on his face was one of utter shock.
The document came from a foreign Huaxia spy.
"General Ye displayed extraordinary power within the Secret Realm of the Golden Moon Country, seemingly slaying the Pope of the Temple or imprisoning him as a servant. This act has shocked many nations and has already enraged the Federation's high command..."
Yang Qingshan let out a long breath, slowly closed the document, and the turmoil in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.
Whether it was killing or detaining the Pope of the Temple, Huaxia Qingyi Bureau thoroughly offended the Federation Temple.
But Yang Qingshan didn't care much about it.
Even before Ye Li was attacked in the Azure Dragon Mountains, he had already regarded the entire Federation as an enemy.
Just then, a tall, elderly man dressed in Daoist Robe walked in.
His aura was as vast as the sea, and he sat down naturally across the table.
"Master?!"
Yang Qingshan was immediately taken aback and quickly stood up. "You've completely emerged from seclusion?"
The aura emanating from the other party was genuine; it was definitely the True Body present, otherwise it would be difficult to exert such a level of pressure.
At the same time, his mood quickly turned somber.
As the only Mountain Sea Realm expert in Huaxia, his teacher always emerged from seclusion for only one purpose...
As expected, the old man in the Daoist Robe first grunted in response, then raised his eyes and said calmly:
"Qingshan, the [Great Dao Thunder Seal] that I implanted into that beast's body has been basically eliminated, and its strength should have recovered to about 70-80%."
"The day of a second full-scale war is probably not far off."
Upon hearing this, Yang Qingshan sighed inwardly, "As expected," and then nodded in reply, "I understand."
Time is indeed running out.
Fortunately, the situation is not tense.
After all, they now have a true Land Immortal on their side.
Even the Pope of the Temple, who was at the sixth level of the Hegemony Realm, could be taken down. Apart from the [Beast God], which was somewhat difficult to defeat, Yang Qingshan did not expect that there was another Secret Realm Mutant Beast secret realm that could stop Ye Li.
"..."
The old man in the Daoist Robe waited patiently for a while, then looked at Yang Qingshan with a puzzled expression. "That's it?"
"What I was saying was that the [Beast God] was about to resurrect, and a great battle comparable in scale to the one before was inevitable. And you... this is all you've got?"
Yang Qingshan was slightly taken aback, then asked in return, "What else do you want from me?"
"..."
The old man in the Daoist Robe frowned slightly, stroked his white beard, and slowly spoke:
"In my opinion, you should feel apprehensive, uneasy, and even a little desperate, no matter what?"
Yang Qingshan slowly stood up. "Have you developed some unusual hobby during your seclusion?"
"Stop talking nonsense, your reaction is just completely wrong, okay?"
The old man in the Daoist Robe looked at his disciple in disbelief. A [Beast God] comparable to the Mountain Sea Realm was about to arrive, yet he could not detect much tension on the other's face.
This is rather strange.
Zhang Qingliu admitted it.
Having not used the internet for over a century, one might indeed be somewhat out of touch with the trends of the outside world.
But what does the rapid changing of external trends have to do with a martial artist's skill level?
Are martial artists at the Mountain Sea Realm no longer respected?
"Could it be... that a new Martial Dao Grandmaster has emerged within the organization?"
After much thought, Zhang Qingliu came up with only this possibility, and immediately asked with a slight glint in his eyes.
If that were the case, the situation could indeed be eased considerably.
"More or less."
As he spoke, Yang Qingshan placed a stack of reports in the other person's arms and said with a faint smile:
"It's all here, Master. Please take a look for yourself."
"Use your job title when you're working!" Zhang Qingliu frowned and corrected the other person's address, then raised his hand to look through the documents.
He subconsciously asked, "Ye Li?"
The report is lengthy and complex, and with a lot of supporting materials, it would take an average person quite a while to confirm it.
However, experts at the Mountain Sea Realm possess powerful Divine Consciousness, allowing them to fully understand the recorded events with a mere sweep of their eyes.
As time went by, the old man in the Daoist Robe learned more and more about Ye Li's deeds.
Zhang Qingliu seemed to be deep in thought.
Zhang Qingliu nodded slightly.
Zhang Qingliu was somewhat shocked.
Zhang Qingliu was stunned into silence.
"What kind of divine reincarnation is this?!"
The old man in the Daoist Robe raised his head, looked at Yang Qingshan who was smiling without saying a word, and for the first time ever, he lost his composure. "There are such monsters in this mortal world?!"
He finally understood why his disciple was so calm.
Before the age of twenty, he achieved the status of Land Immortal!
He can still kill Land Immortal at the sixth level of the Hegemony Realm!
Isn't this just taking off directly?!
