Chapter 3847 Triumphant Return
While Qin Cang was secretly gathering information at Zhenyuan Pass, he had already returned to the imperial court.
Upon learning this news.
Qin Xiaoxuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
His greatest fear was that Qin Cang would perish.
If this patriarch is dead, then there will be a big problem.
After all, only three Tribulation Half-Saints from the Immortal Qin Dynasty entered the Ancient Immortal Realm this time. Wu Jue has already fallen. If Qin Cang were to fall as well, then only Su Yufeng would be left to maintain order.
In this way...
The Immortal Qin Dynasty suffered a significant loss of strength.
More importantly.
Su Yufeng was not a royal half-saint after all, so even if Qin Xiaoxuan wanted to command him, it would not be easy.
If that person has other intentions, then there is absolutely no one in the entire Immortal Qin Dynasty who can stand against him.
therefore.
The news that Qin Cang was not dead undoubtedly dispelled the gloom that had been weighing on Qin Xiaoxuan's heart for many days.
He immediately went to pay his respects to Qin Cang.
"This junior pays respects to the venerable ancestor!"
Upon arriving at the Immortal Abode, Qin Xiaoxuan bowed respectfully before straightening up and looking at the ancestor before him.
In that instant, Qin Xiaoxuan sensed something amiss.
Just as he was about to ask, Qin Cang spoke first: "As you can see, although I returned alive this time, I was also seriously injured!"
These words made Qin Xiaoxuan's heart sink.
"May I ask, Ancestor, what is the origin of the forces at Zhenyuan Pass, and who is capable of defeating you?"
In his view, Qin Cang's strength was not to be underestimated even in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. There were many powerful figures in the Xuandu Immortal Domain, but among the many powerful figures on the surface, this one could be ranked among the top.
I originally thought that with this old ancestor taking action, he could easily suppress the other party.
Unexpectedly.
This battle ended in a crushing defeat.
To this day, Qin Xiaoxuan still hasn't figured out the origins of that force.
Upon hearing this...
Qin Cang slowly said, "The force that seized Zhenyuan Pass was the Seven Profound Dao Sect, and I was defeated by the Seven Profound Dao Lord!"
Seven Profound Dao Sect!
Seven Mysterious Dao Lords!
Upon hearing Qin Cang's words, Qin Xiaoxuan's expression finally changed.
"The Seven Profound Dao Sect of Taiyuan Prefecture in the Star Luo Immortal Realm—"
He never expected that the force attacking Zhenyuan Pass would come from Taiyuan Prefecture.
In just a moment, Qin Xiaoxuan understood.
It's obvious without even thinking that the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect is doing this to retaliate against the Zhen Tian Army for what happened back then.
understand this.
Qin Xiaoxuan also felt a surge of anger, which came not only from the Seven Profound Dao Sect but also from Wu Jue.
If the latter hadn't attacked the Seven Profound Dao Sect, how could the current situation have arisen?
If the other party were confident in destroying the Seven Profound Dao Sect, that would be fine. But unfortunately, the other party doesn't have the ability to destroy the Seven Profound Dao Sect, and instead brings trouble to the Immortal Qin Dynasty.
How could Qin Xiaoxuan not be furious about this?
But amidst his anger, a deep sense of dread also welled up within him.
The Seven Profound Dao Sect was stronger than they had anticipated. Not only did they take Zhenyuan Pass in just a few days, but even Qin Cang was no match for them.
If the Seven Mysterious Dao Lords launch a large-scale invasion, how will the Immortal Qin Dynasty resist?
Qin Cang saw through his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "The Seven Profound Dao Sect is powerful, that's for sure. However, our defeat this time was not only because of the strength of that Seven Profound Dao Lord, but also because the Seven Profound Dao Sect has two other half-saints in charge."
Ultimately, the power of this venerable one is insufficient to contend against numerous semi-saints.
If the entire imperial court could be mobilized to maintain order, then the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect would find it difficult to make any progress.
"What the Ancestor said is absolutely right!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxuan's previously tense mind relaxed slightly.
"but--"
But just as Qin Xiaoxuan felt relieved, Qin Cang changed the subject again.
"With the Seven Profound Dao Sect in charge of Zhenyuan Pass, it is tantamount to holding the lifeline of the Northern Frontier in its hands. The Northern Frontier is already undefended for them. How could the Seven Profound Dao Sect give up such a large territory as the Northern Frontier?"
Putting aside everything else, the numerous immortal cities in the Northern Frontier alone are enough to tempt the Seven Profound Dao Sect.
Therefore, Your Highness should be prepared for the worst-case scenario: abandoning the northern frontier in order to defend other territories!
Qin Cang's words silenced Qin Xiaoxuan.
Zhenyuan Pass is a vital fortress in the northern frontier and the lifeline of the entire northern frontier, but that does not mean that Zhenyuan Pass can influence the entire Xianqin Dynasty.
Beyond the northern frontier, the rest of the Xianqin Dynasty's territory also boasts various fortresses and important cities.
Even if the northern frontier is lost, the Immortal Qin Dynasty will not face annihilation due to its other resources.
But the problem is...
Northern Xinjiang cannot be lost.
At least in Qin Xiaoxuan's view, the Northern Frontier should not be abandoned so easily.
If news of the loss of the northern frontier in his hands were to reach back, his position would certainly be greatly affected.
That kind of situation is definitely not something Qin Xiaoxuan wants to see.
however.
The Seven Mysteries Dao Sect is powerful, and if we don't want to lose the Northern Frontier, the only way is to confront them head-on. However, Qin Cang is now severely injured, and the Immortal Qin Dynasty is greatly weakened. It won't be easy to have a direct confrontation.
But no matter what, the northern border must never be lost.
At least--
It cannot be lost so easily.
Otherwise, how could he save face?
"The most urgent task is to get Su Yufeng back first. With Su Yufeng and the Ancestor's strength, dealing with a Seventh Profound Dao Lord should be no problem at all."
As for the issue of our ancestor's injuries, I will dedicate all the resources of the imperial court to searching for the most precious healing treasures to help our ancestor recover his strength as soon as possible!
Qin Xiaoxuan said in a deep voice.
Seeing this, Qin Cang simply nodded: "That's fine, but that Seven Profound Dao Lord isn't that strong. What's truly important is that he possesses a top-tier treasure."
That treasure was of extremely high quality, even the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Diagram in my own possession was difficult to compare with.
"If it weren't for the power of such a supreme treasure, I might not have lost that battle!"
Treasure!
Qin Xiaoxuan's expression froze slightly, and he instinctively thought of that creation treasure.
But then he quickly dismissed the idea.
While magical treasures are important, in the current situation, it's difficult to distract myself from thinking about them.
Suppressing his thoughts, Qin Xiaoxuan continued, "The ancient immortal realm is full of opportunities, and I will certainly try my best to find a top-tier treasure for my ancestor."
"The matter of the supreme treasure can be left to fate. However, as you said, if Su Yufeng returns, we might be able to suppress the Seven Profound Dao Lord if we join forces!"
"In that case, I will take my leave now!"
……
After leaving Qin Cang's immortal abode, Qin Xiaoxuan did not dare to delay. He immediately ordered someone to send a message to Su Yufeng, asking him to lead the army back to the capital to deal with the problem of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.
When this news spread, all the halls and buildings in the sect were destroyed and turned into ruins, and countless cultivators perished.
Above the heavens, a terrifying force raged, the laws of the Great Dao obscuring the sky, so vast and powerful that it was impossible to see even a fraction of it.
Suddenly.
The clouds tore apart.
A Taoist priest fell from the void, and immediately a long spear followed, piercing through his chest and pinning him to the mountain wall.
"Ancestor!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the cultivators of the sect all cried out in grief.
next interest.
Then a middle-aged man in white robes slowly walked through the air, grabbed a spear with his right hand and shook it forcefully. The Taoist's body was instantly torn to pieces, and all his spirit and life force were annihilated in an instant.
"Kill them all! Leave no one alive in this entire sect!"
Su Yufeng's expression was indifferent, showing no emotional fluctuations. Even killing a half-saint was as easy as doing it for him.
Upon hearing this, the morale of the army was greatly boosted.
In a short time, this sect was completely slaughtered.
"Reporting to the Commander, all the cultivators in this sect have been completely slaughtered!"
Soon, a general stepped forward to report.
Su Yufeng nodded slightly, and just as he was about to give the order, he saw Su Yufeng's brows furrow slightly, and then a jade talisman appeared out of thin air.
When his divine sense entered the jade talisman, his previously calm expression changed instantly.
Then.
Su Yufeng put away the jade talisman and said in a deep voice, "Pass down the order: assemble the army in half an hour, and then return to the capital!"
"Returning in triumph!"
The general was taken aback upon hearing this, seemingly surprised, but he dared not ask any further questions and immediately accepted the order and withdrew.
After the other party left, Su Yufeng's expression became increasingly serious.
"Seven Profound Dao Sect... I didn't expect that Wu Jue would fall into the hands of this force, and even Qin Cang would suffer a setback. That old man is always cautious in his actions, it seems that this force is indeed not simple!"
Su Yufeng knew Qin Cang's strength all too well.
He had heard that Wu Jue had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, and that his death was inextricably linked to this force. Although he was somewhat wary of this, he did not pay much attention to it.
But now.
Qin Cang was severely injured.
The Northern Frontier Army suffered a crushing defeat.
Even Zhenyuan Pass was lost.
These factors combined made it impossible for Su Yufeng to ignore them.
Unlike Wu Jue, Qin Cang has always been cautious in his actions. Even he dares not say that he can fully see through the background of this royal ancestor.
It is precisely because of this that Su Yufeng is increasingly wary of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.
Now that Qin Xiaoxuan has issued an order, he cannot disobey it.
If this leads to the loss of the Northern Frontier, or even the complete collapse of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, I will not be able to explain it to the court after leaving the Ancient Immortal Realm.
The Kamikaze Army moved swiftly.
In less than half an hour, the army had been fully mobilized.
Su Yufeng didn't delay and immediately returned to the capital.
……
Zhenyuan Pass.
Inside the Immortal Mansion.
Shen Changqing sat alone. On the stone table in front of him was a celestial painting with dim light and obvious cracks.
The painting depicts a scene of earth, water, fire, and wind, suggesting the creation of a chaotic universe and containing endless mysteries.
This.
It is the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Diagram.
Qin Cang was defeated and fled.
This priceless treasure ended up in Shen Changqing's hands.
"The Four Symbols Returning to Origin Diagram can evolve the power of earth, water, fire, and wind, and in a sense, it is similar to the Twelve Heavens!"
Looking at the Four Symbols Returning to Origin image before him, Shen Changqing immediately discerned some clues. Without hesitation, he began refining this treasure.
Because the treasure was damaged, the divine soul imprint left by Qin Cang was also damaged.
This refining process was a natural outcome.
