Chapter 549: Chapters 279 to 280: Defender Envoy of Great Liang (Combined Chapters, Requesting Monthly Votes)_2

"How much strength they truly have hidden throughout Heaven and Earth, even we do not know," Gu Xuanji admitted. "This time, as I am leaving Great Qin, they will not let this opportunity pass. When that time comes, I fear all the experts of the Demon Evil Clan will mobilize. The Demon Saint who was gravely wounded and fled a hundred years ago is likely unwilling to remain in obscurity."

He did not pay too much attention to the other Demon Evils of the Demon Evil Clan. What truly concerned him was the Demon Saint who had invaded the Capital City a hundred years ago. If not for borrowing the national fortune of the Great Qin Nation, there would have been no way to gravely wound that Demon Saint. Since then, that Demon Saint has completely vanished, as if it had perished. But Gu Xuanji was certain the Demon Saint had not fallen. It was somewhere, silently watching Great Qin, constantly seeking an opportunity to strike and avenge the grave injury from all those years ago.

Now, my departure from Great Qin presents just such an opportunity.

Afterward, Gu Xuanji continued, "My original plan was for Shen Changqing to head to Great Wilderness Prefecture to deal with the Barbarian Clan after he stabilized the situation in South Nether Prefecture. Unexpectedly, however, after he slew three Third-Order Demon Spirit Generals, he managed to completely turn the situation around in Great Wilderness Prefecture. Now, the Barbarian Clan is facing a rout, and their withdrawal from Great Wilderness Prefecture is inevitable. Therefore, I intend to summon Shen Changqing here. What are your thoughts?"

At his words, Dongfang Zhao fell into thought. After a long while, he finally spoke, "If Your Majesty truly intends to summon Shen Changqing, it is not out of the question. However, this official cannot guarantee he will come."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Dongfang Zhao turned his head to look outside the imperial chariot, his gaze flickering slightly.

"An expert has arrived."

"An expert—" Gu Xuanji’s expression shifted subtly.

In terms of strength, Dongfang Zhao was stronger than him, so it was not surprising that the latter sensed the presence first. What made him curious, however, was who could be arriving at this time.

"The Great Qin is really getting serious this time!"

Ran An, clad in purple, stood on a hillock looking down at the vast army winding below like a long serpent, a look of shock on his face. Millions of troops, and all of them elites from various prefectures. Simply by converging, their lethal aura could pierce the skies. To put it plainly, before this lethal aura, any lesser Demon Evils would be instantly annihilated. This was the terror of a military’s lethal aura. Especially the lethal aura formed by millions of elite troops—an aura powerful enough to slay gods and Buddhas who dared to stand in its path. Even Ran An wasn’t sure he could contend against such an elite force.

Of course, without experts to tie him down, he was confident he could retreat unscathed. After all, it is much easier for an individual combatant to withdraw. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Having looked for a long while, Ran An’s gaze landed on the central command’s imperial chariot. It was drawn by Exotic Beasts and guarded by experts from the Imperial Palace. But those experts, in his eyes, were simply not worth mentioning. What truly intrigued him was the person seated within the imperial chariot. Unfortunately, the imperial chariot was crafted from extraordinary materials that insulated it from external probing of auras. No matter how Ran An tried, he could not discern any details from the outside.

With a single step, his purple clothes fluttering, Ran An moved towards the central army.

"Audacious! Who dares to trespass?!"

Seeing this, an expert guard’s expression changed instantly. Several guards, without a second thought, leaped into the air and unleashed their most powerful attacks to intercept the intruder. Yet, those attacks hadn’t even reached Ran An before they dissipated into nothingness. Immediately afterward, a concussive force erupted, knocking all of them down.

Simultaneously, Ran An landed, appearing before the imperial chariot. As all the experts closed in, he remained composed and bowed calmly.

"Ran An of the Great Liang Demon Suppression Department, greets Emperor Qin!"

The Great Liang Demon Suppression Department!

Ran An!

Upon hearing this name, the expressions of many experts who had surrounded him changed. While the name Ran An might not be widely famous, it was not entirely unfamiliar to the experts of the Imperial Family. As for the five words "Great Liang Demon Suppression Department," that went without saying. They hadn’t expected that the person who had arrived was the Dominator of the Great Liang Demon Suppression Department. No wonder his displayed strength was so formidable, effortlessly repelling their attacks and knocking them down, all while he himself remained completely unscathed.

After Ran An revealed his identity, those experts from the Imperial Family hesitated to act further. Firstly, they recognized their opponent’s strength and did not want to bring shame upon themselves. Secondly, Great Qin and Great Liang were allies, and a rash move might provoke punishment from Gu Xuanji.

After a moment, a dignified voice issued from the imperial chariot, "Since Defender Ran has come, then come in and take a seat!"

"Thank you, Emperor Qin!"

Ran An straightened up, adjusted his clothes, and then walked towards the imperial chariot.

Upon entering the imperial chariot, the first person he saw was Gu Xuanji. This was his first time seeing Emperor Qin in person; previously, he had only seen him in portraits. Just one glance, and a powerful sense of oppression washed over him. Ran An understood this was not an aura Gu Xuanji deliberately emanated, but rather a natural manifestation of the authority he had held for many years.

"Ran An of the Great Liang Demon Suppression Department pays respects to Emperor Qin!" He bowed formally once more. This was the respect due to the sovereign of a nation.

Gu Xuanji spoke calmly, "Defender Ran, dispense with the formalities. Please, be seated."

"Thank you, Emperor Qin!"

Only then did Ran An survey the interior of the imperial chariot. His faint smile stiffened slightly when he noticed the person seated beside Gu Xuanji.

"So, Defender Dongfang is here as well."

"It has been a long while," Dongfang Zhao said, raising his cup in greeting. He and Ran An were old acquaintances.
