Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 238 - 222 Ranger

Shen Jianjia sat on the bed, adjusting her breathing and circulating her Qi. When she came back to her senses, she opened her eyes and saw Tie Dan sitting far away at the guest room door, drinking wine and studying the scripture in his hand. He hadn’t done anything outrageous while she was practicing, which put her mind at ease.

"So, what is that of yours?"

Tie Dan took a sip of wine, a peanut in hand, reading the Buddhist scripture he had snatched from the National Protection Temple, and casually asked.

Shen Jianjia didn’t hide it, she picked up the bamboo slip and said,

"This scripture is called ’Mythical Lotus Flower Blip Divine Power,’ a unique inner strength practiced by the Inner Eunuch, specifically used to aid in the force exertion and energy transfer of Gang Fist. It is an advanced internal strength mental technique for Gang Qi application.

This skill cultivates both internally and externally, with domineering Qi circulation. It is quite formidable, and when perfected, the power can be raised to the realm of Hundred Layers of Gang Fist in life-and-death moments.

Although the Qi circulation of this skill is peculiar and there are many taboos, saying it is not suitable for men to practice, I have already reached the third layer, and so far, it seems there are no hindrances. Thank you." she said.

Well, it seems this guy truly has considerable fortune, being guided by his master all the way down the mountain and casually gaining magic treasures.

But if that Ephemeral Divine Skill is truly the authentic eunuch’s secret manual, then what on earth is this pile of Buddhist scriptures he’s holding?

All right, Tie Dan thought his comprehension wasn’t bad, but after looking at them for a long time, he still couldn’t make heads or tails of them.

Though he recognized every word copied in the scripture, once combined, he had no idea what it meant. Initially, he thought it was a classic text in Buddhist scripture, but the sentence structure was completely off. Words didn’t form words, sentences didn’t form sentences, it was all topsy-turvy, without any explanation of meridian Qi flow, method exertion, or energy transfer.

Could it be that these scriptures are not cultivation mental methods or martial arts secret books at all? Or are they encrypted and still missing some kind of codebook for decryption...

Jian Jia was also curious to see that pile of scriptures, addressing the topic at hand.

"And what about yours? What skill is it?"

While others have unlocked a new skill, Tie Dan was utterly perplexed, rolling his eyes in frustration, saying,

"Why should I tell you?"

"You... hmph!"

Jian Jia was truly infuriated and simply sat back to continue her practice, too lazy to bother with him.

And Tie Dan, having made no progress after looking for a long time, and with the wine finished, also had no interest in bickering with Jian Jia anymore, brushed off the scriptures, and went out to get more wine.

Tie Dan initially thought that a few deaths here and there could perhaps still be covered up by the Six Gates, but committing such a major case like the one at the National Protection Temple would certainly shake the Three Constellations and shock the imperial court, wouldn’t it?

So he ordered some wine and food to eat and drink, sat in the tavern for a bit, hoping to hear the eunuchs’ reactions, only to find that not many people openly discussed this incident at the National Protection Temple.

Well, indeed, everyone hated the dead eunuchs, but if the factory guards’ spies heard of one’s schadenfreude, wouldn’t it lead to disaster and extermination of the family? Besides, there have been too many major events shaking the world lately, people must have become numb by now.

As for the biggest matter in the world today, of course, it still lies in Hebei.

It is said that ever since Zhongshan Gong Stone Dragon led the large army to capture Ye Capital, burned the government offices, killed officials and soldiers, plundered everywhere, sweeping across the land with unstoppable force, within a few months, the various counties in Genzhou fell one after another, with officials and soldiers fleeing, shaking the Capital.

Currently, the Northern Army has essentially pacified the Gen Kingdom, and that rebel Stone Dragon even proclaimed himself as Heavenly King, seizing control of the affairs of the Kan and Gen Kingdoms, declared Ye Capital as his capital, and used Tongguan Palace as his sleeping quarters. The army is now gathered at Guan Du and even sent envoys to seek marriages and titles from the Three Constellations.

Such audacity, madness beyond reason, daring to split and govern autonomously, sharing the world with the Immortal Palace, the Three Constellations naturally cannot sit idly by.

So, what are they dealing with?

Um, well, theoretically speaking, what exactly is the master of the world, the Three Constellations, doing?

In the end, nothing happened...

Of course, the ministers of the Taiwei Constellation’s court aren’t truly idle and detached, refusing to do anything. They are adept at seizing opportunities for internal struggles and snatching positions. Therefore, as early as when Zhongshan Gong started his uprising, they already had a major court debate, looking to shift positions.

Through fierce struggles and competitions, in the end, it was the mistress of Ziwei Immortal City who couldn’t stand it anymore. The Immortal Emperor’s Empress Dowager directly appointed her elder brother, the representative of foreign relatives, the former Nine Ministers’ Marquis Shen, to be the Great General, awarded the Tiger Talisman King Banner, and authorized to deploy the five camps of royal forest troops to guard the Capital City.

However, at this moment, the most reliable assistant of the Three Constellations, the Xiao Family responsible for frontline military supplies, suddenly encountered an incident at this critical juncture. The Xiao Family Ancestor’s assassination and the unavoidable political turmoil in Zhen Country resulted in the postponement of the Northern Expedition.

The new Great General, although never having been on the battlefield, understands the principle of military logistics preceding troop movements. Moreover, the word ’Shen’ in his title isn’t in vain. Despite the urging from both Ziwei Constellation and Taiwei Constellation, he simply kept pushing back, claiming that the Three Constellations’ armies, inexperienced in warfare for a long time, need to recruit new soldiers, train, and prepare arms and rations before they can fight.

The Great General then intended to appoint eight Colonels in Sizhou to recruit young men, organize a new army, station them at the Eight Passes, assist in guarding the checkpoints, train strategies, and prepare for war, ready to deploy at any moment to suppress the rebellion.

Yet, the matter of which eight people, no, which eight representatives of Gate Valves, should take on this role led to endless quarrels and unresolved disputes...

This dragging on and on led to issues with the Demon Sect’s attack on breaking mountains and temples, and the princely heirs and princesses traveling from the Southern Sect Country all fled to South Heavenly Gate outside Ziwei Constellation, weeping and requesting the Immortal Emperor to deploy troops to rescue their elderly fathers.

The Immortal Emperor’s stance, naturally, needed no further elaboration, prioritizing personal matters above all, intending to dispatch all the troops within the capital to the south for rescue.
