Chapter 411: Chapters 174 to 175 The Strong Outer, The Hollow Inside (Two-in-One Chapter, Asking for Monthly Pass)_3

By his side, a Sect Master spoke softly.

Facing this Mahavairocana, even he, as a martial artist of the Grandmaster Realm, felt immense pressure. After all, everyone had witnessed Shimohe execute Yuan Ji. That level of strength was utterly crushing. It was the existence of such a powerful figure that allowed the Heaven Alliance to sweep through numerous cities of the South Nether Prefecture in a seemingly unstoppable and rapid manner.

Upon hearing this, Shimohe nodded slightly. "Indeed, the people of South Sea City do have some courage. Instead of abandoning the city and fleeing upon receiving the news, they have actually come here. I had thought that they would either run away in a panic or sit in South Sea City waiting for death."

As he spoke, the smile on his face remained, but within that smile, there was much disdain for the Demon-Subduing Division of South Sea City. It is said that the Demon-Subduing Division is filled with experts and has dominated Jianghu for over three hundred years. But in front of him, the Demon-Subduing Division was no more than chickens and dogs.

Shimohe could already feel a great deal of destiny from the South Nether Prefecture converging upon him. He believed that once he completely unified the South Nether Prefecture, his own destiny would reach its apex.

"At that time—"

"It will be the real moment for my breakthrough!"

A cold gleam suddenly burst forth in his eyes.

Silently cultivating for over seven hundred years, what he aimed for was nothing but to break through the limits of a Great Grandmaster, ascending to a higher level. After more than seven hundred years, he had finally waited for this opportunity. At the same time, Shimohe also understood that he had no way back. He had only taken two Longevity Fruits, which merely extended his life by a mere fifteen years. Within fifteen years, if he could not break his limits and ascend to a higher level, then he would truly wither away. Seven hundred years ago, he had one chance for rebirth, but now, seven hundred years later, such an opportunity would not come again.

With this thought, Shimohe looked at the city before him and was about to command his army to attack when, suddenly, someone hurried over, obvious urgency on his face.

"What’s happened?" Shimohe asked indifferently, his expression unchanged.

Upon hearing his question, the man caught his breath and then replied hastily, "News has come that the Imperial Court has appointed Shen Changqing as the Defender Envoy of the South Nether Prefecture!"

"Defender Envoy of the South Nether Prefecture!"

Shimohe’s back, which had been slightly relaxed in a half-lotus position, straightened up a bit, and the gentle smile on his face also faded away. Just by hearing the name, he knew what the title "Defender Envoy of the South Nether Prefecture" meant.

Soon, Shimohe returned to his normal demeanor, speaking as relaxed as before. "Great Qin is truly on its last legs, appointing a Great Grandmaster who has just made a breakthrough as the Defender Envoy of the South Nether Prefecture."

His smile now contained a trace of mockery. Defender Envoy of the South Nether Prefecture. Clearly, Great Qin intended for Shen Changqing to face him.

"But—" Shimohe slowly shook his head, "Sometimes the gap between one Great Grandmaster and another is much larger than they could imagine."

This news was certainly unexpected to him, but in reality, Shimohe wasn’t worried by it.

A mere newly advanced Great Grandmaster, what was there to be wary of? If Great Qin truly thought that by relying on a Shen Changqing, they could stop the advance of his Heaven Alliance, then they were naive.

When the time came, he would make everyone understand that even if someone did breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm, they could not compare to him.

"I will make them realize who is the true number one in the world!"

A smile crept onto the corner of Shimohe’s mouth.

He had never considered Shen Changqing as a contender. In his view, his real opponents were only the Dominator of the Demon-Subduing Division, the widely renowned Dongfang Zhao, and Emperor Qin, who suppressed Great Qin and had remained out of the spotlight for a long time. Shimohe, although arrogant in his heart, also understood that the strengths of those two figures from the rumors were extraordinary. With his current state, he might not truly be a match for them. But, based on the information he had, Emperor Qin’s lifespan was nearing its end, and he had not left the Capital City for a long time. Even now, as the Barbarian Clan and Great Zhou both acted restlessly, attacking two of Great Qin’s prefectures, there was not the slightest movement from him. As for Dongfang Zhao, he too remained within the Capital City. In such a scenario, Shimohe wasn’t too worried. The two strongest figures of Great Qin were each confined and bound, restricted to the Capital City. Unless it truly came to a point of life and death for Great Qin, neither of them would take any action. Of course, if South Nether Prefecture were to fall, he couldn’t be completely sure that those two could remain seated. But—once he had possession of the entire South Nether Prefecture, Shimohe was absolutely confident he could break through existing limits and ascend to another level. By then, even if Dongfang Zhao and Emperor Qin personally took action, he wouldn’t fear in the slightest.

Looking at the city ahead, Shimohe waved his hand and said lightly, "Attack the city!"

Unlike before, with the gradually increasing strength of his Heaven Alliance, he rarely took action personally anymore. Only if a strong figure appeared, akin to the level of a Defender Envoy. After all, such powerhouses could not be opposed by ordinary armies or Martial Artists. If it wasn’t a Defender Envoy, Shimohe wouldn’t readily take action. The strong possess their own dignity.

「——」

"The Heaven Alliance is attacking!"

The sound of killing outside the city, as well as the killing intent that had coagulated from the great army, was enough to change the color of the skies.

As soon as the army attacked, Yun Venerable knew immediately.

Upon hearing this, a trace of fear seemed to cross the middle-aged commander’s gloomy face.
