Chapter 170: Something Happened
rump cards to deal with it.Shen Changqing looked at the Seventh Star Venerable.This mysterious powerful being who calls themselves the Sword God Clan, is able to face the Phoenix Emperor head-on, show...“Within the fifth layer of the jade bi, there are countless masters' true intentions. These intentions vary in strength, and when you delve into them with your divine consciousness, it is like battling with others' intentions. If you prevail, you can absorb their true intention power to nurture yourself.”
But the jade bi was ultimately an external object, incapable of allowing a Grandmaster to reach the pinnacle of the spiritual system.
> Once you reach a certain level, and your own progress stagnates, it's time to venture out and gain experience. This is also why there are some masters within the Martial Arts Pavilion, but few truly remain here.
Zhong Ning said in a deep voice.
If it were someone else, they wouldn't say so much.
Shen Changqing tried his best to convince himself. After all, he had brought the person in personally. And the other party's talent was indeed not bad.
If this talent could be maintained until the end.
Then there is also a certain probability that it can break the human limit and enter another level.
Hearing Zhong Ning's words, Shen Changqing suddenly understood.
In that case, the secret room is like a foundation for beginners in the spiritual system. The jade disc, however, is used only after the true meaning of the spiritual system has been realized. Both are considered foundational treasures.
>
Whether one can ultimately reach the pinnacle depends on the individual.
"Not bad."
Zhong Ning looked like a child who could be taught.
“If masters at the peak of the spiritual system were really that easy to create, then there wouldn't be so few powerful figures at this level in the world.”
How many powerful individuals at this level exist in the world
“As for other places, I’m not very clear. For our Great Qin, there should only be a few cabinet masters, who are considered the peak of the spiritual system.”
"Where is the general commanding the garrison"
The general's path is different from ours.
>
Zhong Ning shook his head, then looked at him with an amused expression.
"You seem very interested in the Marshal. It's understandable, though. The Marshal's fame resounds throughout Qin. They are true powerhouses who protect Qin. When you reach the second realm of the spiritual system, then consider this matter."
"Right now, you don't overthink things as much."
He doesn't want to talk about this any more.
Upon seeing this.
Shen Changqing didn't want to ask any further.
Whether it's Dongfang Zhang or the current Zhong Ning, they both maintain a secretive attitude towards what a Zhen Shou Shi is.
The more mysterious the other party is.
The more he thought about it, the more curious he became.
But Zhong Ning didn't say anything, and he couldn't bring himself to ask any more questions.
At once.

Shen Changqing took out two pale golden鎮魔 coins from his bosom.
The moment Zhong Ning saw the鎮魔幣, he instantly sat up from his lounge chair, his eyes shining with eagerness, almost reaching out to grab it.
Though he felt a surge of emotion, he forced it down, remembering his position.
He coughed lightly.
This Elder of the Wugong Pavilion wore a warm and enthusiastic smile.
"Are you going to continue using the escape room"
"According to Elder Bell, one hundred merits can be used for three days in the secret room, right"
"That's right, that's right. You give 200 achievements, and you can directly use the secret room for six days."
Zhong Ning answered very quickly.
When Shen Changqing saw him hand the鎮魔幣 over, he snatched both coins with lightning speed.
Here's your translation:
Let me know if you have anything else you'd like me to translate!
The speed is very fast.
Shen Changqing barely managed to catch the movement.
Take good care of the鎮魔幣.
Zhong Ning coughed and, looking serious, said to him, "You go in now. I'll let you know when it's time to come out."
Thank you.
Shen Changqing nodded and was about to return to the secret room.
Suddenly.
Zhoning stopped him.
“Wait.”
"Master Zhong, is there something the matter"
“This time you used the thirteenth room on your right hand, that room hasn't been used for a long time, and the spiritual energy accumulated inside is much stronger than that of other rooms.”
"Uh, thank you for the advice, Elder!"
Shen Changqing bowed in thanks, then, according to Zhong Ning's instructions, opened the stone door of Chamber Number Thirteen.
As expected.
As soon as a small crack appeared in the Stone Gate, a massive influx of spiritual energy rushed in.
That spiritual energy.
Even the rock gate, which was about to be struck, closed again.
Seeing this, he pushed the stone gate open with all his might. Before the inner spiritual energy could leak out much, he dashed inside, and the stone gate slammed shut.
As Shen Changqing entered.
Zhong Ning took out the two鎮魔 coins from his bosom, his smile unwavering.
"Tsk, two hundred merit points. This kid is still a rich one, though it makes sense. He can afford to buy enlightenment tea himself, so he's not short on money. If he were wealthy enough to keep the secret room booked all the time, that would be nice."
Two hundred achievements in hand, he was in a good mood.
But.
Zhong Ning also understood that the other party being able to come up with two hundred credits was already a miracle. Wanting them to give more was simply impossible.
With the two鎮魔 coins in place, he lay back down.
After the morning rain, there was a lot of water on the pitted road. At this time, a horse galloped quickly, splashing a lot of dirty water.

"Onward!"
“Drive!!”
One person was covered in blood, pulling the reins with one hand and constantly beating the horse under his crotch with the other, driving the horse to run wildly.
Not long after.
A majestic city, already within sight.
Suddenly.
Underneath the horse, the front legs suddenly gave way, and the whole horse collapsed to the ground. The person on its back was also caught off guard by this sudden change and fell from the horse.
Just landed.
He skillfully rolled over, ignoring the mud on his body, and sprang to his feet, sprinting towards the city.
Because of the curfew.
After nightfall, the capital city gates are closed until dawn when they are reopened to allow citizens to enter and exit.
This moment.
The city gate hadn't opened yet, but a good number of people had already gathered outside. Some pushed carts, others carried baskets on their backs, all piled high with goods.
These people are all local residents, who come into the city every day to sell their wares in exchange for necessities.
"Make way, everyone make way!"
A loud roar came from behind, and many of the commoners turned around. They saw a man covered in mud and blood running towards them frantically.
This scene.
This caused many people to instinctively step back, creating a passage.
That man stood at the city gate, raising his head to look at the guards on the wall, shouting hoarsely with all his might.
"I am a general of the Flying Phoenix Army from Lu'an Prefecture, with urgent matters to report to Your Majesty. Please open the gate quickly!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The sound vibrated throughout the city walls.
The soldiers on the city walls were also the first to be alarmed.
Very soon.
There was a general-looking man, who leaned over the city wall and roared.
“Evidence, please!”
"This is my identity token!"
That man took out a blood-stained token from his bosom. On it was a phoenix with its wings outstretched, as if about to take flight from the token itself.
At the moment he saw the token, the general's face paled. He waved his hand dismissively.
“Open the city gates!”
And that's it.
He turned and hurried down the city wall.
The city gate swung open, and a large number of soldiers rushed out, intercepting the civilians preparing to enter the city, allowing that Flying Phoenix Army's deputy general to go in.
Just entered the city gate passage.

As soon as they arrived, they saw a general from the city wall coming to meet them.
"I am General Wang Hu, the defender of this city. Please present your identity token!"
He looked at the blood-stained people in front of him, a bad premonition arose in his heart, but he didn't forget the procedures he should follow.
Just showing the ID card only proves that the other party is from the Fei Feng Army.
Now, looking back.
This is to confirm the specific identity.
Upon hearing this.
That man passed the token over.
Wang Hu took it and saw the contents on the token.
Fei Feng Army's Fifth Camp Brigadier General—Fang Shi.
Upon seeing this.
He handed back the identification token and then asked in a low voice, "I wonder what happened at Lord Luo'an's mansion"
Seven days ago, the Great Zhou launched a surprise attack on Luoyang Prefecture, and five cities fell.
Please note that the original input contained only a closing paragraph tag (`

Fang Shi flew out the words and then rushed into the city.
Stay in place.
Only Wang Hu was struck like lightning, stunned in place for a long time, unable to recover.
In his mind.
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Only what Fang Shi just said.
The great Zhou launched a surprise attack on the Lu'an Prefecture!
“Zhou’s surprise attack on Lu'an Prefecture, how could this be, how could it be like this”—Wang Hu staggered, as a military commander, he naturally understood the seriousness of the matter.
He took a deep breath.
Wang Hucai barely managed to calm his nerves, then looked at the surrounding soldiers whose faces were equally shocked. His face turned cold and stern.
"This message, without imperial permission, is not to be spread. Whoever violates this, I believe you are well aware of the consequences!"
Upon hearing this.
Those several soldiers were all with anxious faces.
"Don't worry, sir. We heard nothing."
"It's best not to hear anything, otherwise, it won't just be a problem for yourself, even your family might get into some trouble!"
Wang Hu snorted coldly, then turned back to look at the commoners who had been intercepted.
"Let them into the city!"
Very soon.
Upon receiving the order, the soldiers who had blocked the civilians withdrew.
At the same time, someone shouted loudly: "Don't crowd, everyone show your pass to enter the city. Anyone who dares to break the rules will have to spend a few days in jail!"
A few words.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Let those commoners dare not crowd, but rather queue in an orderly manner, displaying the passes they carry on their persons.
On the other side.
Wang Hu then hurried away.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Great Zhou's raid on Lu'an Prefecture was a major event. He had to report it immediately.
"How could this be!"
“Great Zhou has always had no disputes with Great Qin. Why attack Lu'an Prefecture now!”
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
No matter how hard Wang Hu racked his brains, he couldn't figure out what reason could possibly lead the Zhou Dynasty to attack Luan Prefecture at this time.
If it were in the past.
He didn't seem too worried.
After all, the Zhou Dynasty was powerful, and Qin was not weak either. The other side might not be able to do anything to Qin.
But.
At this moment, when the barbarians are attacking the Dahuang Mansion, the Zhou Dynasty intervenes, making things much more serious.
"Could it be—that the Great Zhou is attacking Lu'an Prefecture because of a connection with the barbarians"
The moment Wang Hu had this thought, he was startled by it himself.
He knew it in his heart.
If this matter is really related to barbarians, then the seriousness of the problem is much more significant than I imagined.
He couldn't bear to stay on the ground for a moment, and vanished directly at the city gate.
On the other side.
Six days have passed.
Zhong Ning's reminder brought Shen Changqing back to his senses from his closed-door cultivation.
"Time flies!"
>
He shook his head slightly. Six days had passed, and he hadn't even noticed how much time had slipped by.
When looking at the sea of knowledge again.
The phantom of the second petal of the bloody lotus is much clearer now.
