Chapter 9: Shi Zhong Shi (Part 1)

  Donglanshan is over 3,000 meters high. Such a high mountain is certainly lush and green, with dense forests and even wild beasts roaming deep within the mountains.

  At this moment, in a very secluded thicket behind the East Ridge Mountain, a figure was swiftly darting about, as agile as a black leopard, and as nimble as an ape. In an instant, it leapt up tens of meters, onto a tree branch, then effortlessly jumped from one branch to another.

  What was most bizarre was that although the figure's speed was extremely fast, it didn't stir up even a hint of wind.

  A figure suddenly plunged down from a height of over ten meters, making a loud "plop" as it entered the small lake in the depths of the forest. The lake's crystal-clear waters rippled with a soft lapping sound, like beautiful jade. This small, nameless lake was extremely clear, and you could even see the pebbles at the bottom.

  "It's so cool!" Qin Yu suddenly emerged from the water, shaking his head wildly, splashing water everywhere.

  Qin Yu had obtained the Meteor Tear for a year and a half. Half a year ago, Qin Yu's power had already reached the level of that innate divine power, Mo Dang. His speed was unmatched, and ordinary swords and guns couldn't even scratch him. As for flexibility, it wasn't even necessary to mention.

  Even without wearing gloves, Qin Yu's fingers could easily crack the bluestone, and his finger skin was still not numb at all. This completely contradicts Zhao Yunxing's theory that human fingers can be both agile and extremely tough.

  Logically speaking, Qin Yu has already reached the realm of Zhao Yun Xing, and even surpassed it, and should have reached what is called the post-heavenly limit.

  However... Qin Yu's physical skills continued to improve at an astonishing speed, and even he himself felt that the progress was too terrifying. He also didn't want the people in the mountain villa to spread the news everywhere, so he directly entered the depths of the mountain forest for training.

  Training in the depths of the mountain forest, giant rocks are everywhere, and it's even more beneficial for the body training of "Big Dipper Seven Stars Moonlight Dance". After all, there is no road in the deep mountains, only various obstacles, which is more beneficial for body training.

  "In just a year and a half, his one-handed strength had reached a thousand jin. If this were to get out..." Qin Yu's face had a hint of a smile.

  The power of supporting with one hand, and the power of punching out with one fist, are two completely different concepts. Supporting with one hand is much more difficult. One-handed thousand jin, a punch that can exceed ten thousand jin is definitely possible. Such terrifying power, I estimate that even the infamous Mo Dong, who is known for having the strongest external power, would go crazy.

  "For the past six months, I've been carrying this three-hundred-jin burden almost constantly. I have no idea how fast I can move without it." Qin Yu thought to himself, if others were to hear this, they would definitely not believe him.

  Qin Yu had just been darting back and forth in the forest at an extremely fast speed, one that ordinary external martial artists couldn't match. Moreover, this was still with Qin Yu wearing three hundred catties of weight.

  "Pong!" With several loud noises, Qin Yu's Xuan Iron arm guards, Xuan Iron leg guards and Black Gold backplate had all been removed to one side.

  "Haha, feel it!" Qin Yu suddenly shot up into the air like an arrow leaving a bowstring, directly bursting out of the water. His body lightly wobbled in mid-air and then... stopped! Yes, stopped, although only for two or three seconds.

  This is the subtlety of Qin Yu's body method borrowing wind power.

  "Whoosh!" Qin Yu's body shook, and he dived down at an incredible speed, landing on the ground with a "thud". His feet touched the ground for just a moment before he vanished in an instant. The surrounding trees shook violently, and a faint voice flashed through the forest like lightning.

  Landed!

  Qin Yu suddenly appeared beside the lake, his face filled with excitement: "With three hundred catties of weight removed, my speed has increased by more than just one level, it's really too fast. However..." Qin Yu furrowed his brow, "But with such a high speed, the wind resistance is truly terrifying. Even with my current cultivation in 'North Dipper Seven Star Moonlight Dance', I still can't completely dispel those resistances."

  The faster the speed, the greater the wind resistance. Qin Yu's speed had reached an unprecedented level just now. In the past, he could easily ignore the influence of air resistance, but at such a high speed, even he couldn't perfectly dissolve the resistance.

  "Well, it seems I'm still not strong enough, need to continue working hard. I'd like to see where my limits are." Qin Yu's eyes burned with excitement.

  Qin Yu continued his bitter cultivation in the depths of the forest on Dong Luan Mountain...

  In the dead of night, King Chu rushed to the imperial palace in the capital city, Huayang Palace.

  Huayang Palace is the place of Yu Guifei, tonight Chu Wang Chao Emperor Xiang Guangzheng arrived at Yu Guifei Huayang Palace, after a stormy night, both Xiang Guang and Yu Guifei fell asleep, two palace maids outside the door also dozed off, but still had to struggle to keep their eyes open.

  Xiang Guang's body suddenly trembled violently as he slept soundly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The whole person seemed to be in a state of extreme panic and agitation.

  "No, don't, don't......" Xiang Guang muttered to himself, his voice was very low and chaotic, it was impossible to hear what he was saying clearly. However, Xiang Guang's whole body was trembling, and Yu Guifei beside him was also startled awake.

  "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Yu Guifei saw Xiang Guang's face turn bright red and couldn't help but become alarmed.

  "Get out!" Xiang Guang suddenly shouted loudly with his eyes closed, and his two arms swung down onto Yu Guifei's body.

  "Bang!" Yu Guifei was knocked off the bed, spitting out a mouthful of blood. She stared at Xiang Guang in disbelief - wasn't she the emperor's most favored concubine? Xiang Guang also came to his senses at this moment, looking at the severely injured Yu Guifei with an icy expression.

  "Someone, please call the doctor." After Xiang Guang finished speaking, he ignored Yu Guifei and put on his clothes, walking directly past Yu Guifei's heavily injured body without even giving her a second glance.

  A moment later, Xiang Guang appeared in the imperial study, a hawk-nosed black-clad man standing respectfully beside him.

  "It's Yang Li of the three counties in the Eastern Territory who is responsible." Xiang Guang's voice was cold and detached.

  "Yes, Your Majesty." The hawk-nosed man replied respectfully.

  Xiang Guang suddenly stood up, staring at the eagle-nosed man and said: "Integrate all intelligence related to Qin De and tell me. Also, increase surveillance in the three counties of Dongyu. I don't believe he just recruited 100,000 more soldiers. What is Qin De's real trump card? It must be investigated clearly. Yang Li has been investigating for so many years and only found out this much, truly useless. From today on, all intelligence work in the three counties of Dongyu will be handled by Zhen Xu, Yang Li will be recalled."

  "Yes!" The man with the eagle nose knelt down on one knee.

  "Go." Xiang Guang waved his sleeve, the eagle-nosed man bowed and then disappeared in a flash into the imperial study.

  Eyes gazing forward, but his heart was thinking of something else.

  "If I don't thoroughly investigate and get to the bottom of your case, Qin De, I won't be able to sleep at night or eat in peace." Xiang Guang often had nightmares about being killed by Qin De. He was most worried that Qin De would discover what happened back then, and he wanted to eradicate the Qin family, but the Qin family had been stationed in the three eastern counties for hundreds of years, with deep roots, and it wasn't something that could be easily eradicated.

  Xiang Guang's strategy is to investigate Qin De clearly. If Qin De really has signs of rebellion, he will directly launch the national power to destroy the Qin family. If Qin De still doesn't know about the matter that year and hasn't rebelled, then it's fine.

  "Yang Li is a complete waste, but Zhen Xu will definitely be able to find out. Qin De, you'd better not have discovered what happened back then, just stay put as the Town East King, if you really want to rebel...” Item Guang's eyes emitted a sharp, cold glint.
