SFS Chapter 147 Qin Palace
Chapter 147 Qin Palace
Looking at Shengqi's receding figure, Zhang Liang could not help but fall into deep thought. Whether it was Shengqi's leaving the farming family or Li Si's joining the Qin State, it was certainly out of personal will, but the shadows of the farming family and Confucianism were probably also looming behind them.
The seven kingdoms have been fighting for hegemony for many years. As the power of Qin grows, the fragile balance is on the verge of breaking. Various schools of thought have made their plans and started a new competition on the chessboard of the world.
"Is it really a wise move for Tianzong to choose to support Qin?" Zhang Liang asked himself in a low voice.
But he quickly shook his head and smiled, muttering softly: "In the final analysis, it still depends on strength. As long as there is enough power, any choice can be the right one."
At this time, a voice sounded: "Young man, you are right. After all, in this world, strength is the only thing that matters. If Chisongzi can successfully break through, Tianzong will be able to enjoy twenty years of stability. If the two of you can also reach my level, then Tianzong will have nothing to worry about."
Zhang Liang turned his head and saw that the old Taoist priest Bei Mingzi had been standing nearby, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Master Taoist, when did you come?" Zhang Liang asked in surprise.
Bei Mingzi smiled and replied: "I came here when you just showed up in the Human Sect!"
Zhang Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly. This old Taoist priest had profound cultivation. If he really intended to hide, he would not be able to find him unless you got close to him.
"Old man, since you have nothing to do, why don't you go to the Human Sect together? You have to be so mysterious, is that appropriate?" Zhang Liang said jokingly.
"I went to visit an old friend and exchanged some skills with him." Bei Mingzi smiled and came to Zhang Liang in a few steps.
At this moment, Zhang Liang noticed that Bei Mingzi's breath was slightly unstable, and there were vague signs of injury.
"Donghuang Taiyi?" Zhang Liang asked.
"That's right." Bei Mingzi nodded.
"Are you injured? You couldn't even block a single attack?" Zhang Liang asked again.
"You think too much. Although the old man suffered some minor injuries, Donghuang Taiyi can't get any advantage. He was injured by my sword energy. His injury must be more serious than mine." Bei Mingzi said proudly.
"Are you so eager to use that ancient sword? Shouldn't such a trump card be saved for the critical moment?" Zhang Liang asked puzzledly, wondering how much hatred this old man had for Donghuang Taiyi that he went to cause trouble for him as soon as he got the ancient sword.
"You don't understand, kid. At our level, it's hard to determine the winner in a one-on-one fight. I took action to test the power of this ancient sword and to give Donghuang Taixia a warning so that he wouldn't dare to attack Tianzong easily!" Bei Mingzi explained.
"You have always wanted to go to the land of Baiyue. After I finish my business in Xianyang this time, I will take you there. If that Poison King dares to attack you, I will use him to test my sword!" Bei Mingzi said proudly.
Zhang Liang was silent. He knew that Bei Mingzi always kept his mouth shut about information above the Grandmaster level, and only revealed bits and pieces to him. Therefore, he had no idea what abilities those masters above the Grandmaster level had, or how many such masters there were in the world. This seemed to be related to some kind of agreement between those top masters.
"Master Taoist, your injury is not serious, right?" Zhang Liang asked with concern.
To be honest, Zhang Kaidi was serious and taciturn. Although Zhang Liang respected him, he lacked a sense of closeness. In comparison, the old man Bei Mingzi was much more easy-going. He got along very well with Zhang Liang, and the two had a closer relationship.
"It doesn't matter, it will only take three to five days. Okay, let's go to Xianyang!" Bei Mingzi suggested with a smile.
This place is not far from Xianyang, and the journey of several hundred miles is no problem for them. In the evening of that day, Zhang Liang and Bei Mingzi had arrived at the gate of Xianyang city.
"How is it?" Bei Mingzi looked at Zhang Liang with a smile and asked him what he thought of Xianyang.
"The city walls are tall and solid, the defenses are tight, the soldiers are elite, and it exudes the aura of a powerful country!" Zhang Liang couldn't help but smile.
He grew up in Xinzheng, but compared to the South Korean capital Xinzheng, Xianyang is a world apart. Just by looking at this city, it gives people a sense of might, toughness, and iron-bloodedness, as if it is not just a city, but more like a huge ferocious monster.
"Hmm?" Zhang Liang suddenly frowned slightly, feeling that there seemed to be something abnormal in the city of Xianyang, and an inexplicable fluctuation appeared.
"What's wrong?" Bei Mingzi asked when he saw this.
"Nothing, let's go into the city first." Zhang Liang replied calmly.
Seeing that Zhang Liang was unwilling to say more, Bei Mingzi did not ask any more questions, and the two of them immediately entered the city.
As soon as he entered Xianyang City, the special strange feeling Zhang Liang felt became stronger and stronger, especially near the imperial palace, where the inexplicable fluctuations were even stronger.
"Is this a formation? It doesn't look like one, yet it's very similar!" Zhang Liang pondered in his mind.
Using a city as the base to set up a formation is a big deal in the world of cultivation. It requires at least a third or fourth level cultivator to do it. However, this world obviously does not have such a master, so it is unlikely that someone would use Xianyang City as the base to set up a formation.
Moreover, although the fluctuation existed, it was very weak. Even a strong man like Bei Mingzi would find it difficult to detect it. It was definitely not as powerful as a real formation.
"The source should be in the Qin Palace. It seems that I have to go to the Qin Palace as well." Zhang Liang thought to himself.
