#247 - Chapter 247: Fifth Level of Spiritualization

Zhao Long sighed and said, "I was also very puzzled as to why Lin Changqing, our Wu Kingdom's pride, had to be killed. Later, I got some inside information from General Qingmu. Lin Changqing betrayed our Wu Kingdom on the Starry Sky Ancient Road and was recruited by the Chu Kingdom. This Lin Changqing was bewitched by the beauty of the Chu Kingdom's princess, so he betrayed our Wu Kingdom!"

"In addition, I also heard that Lin Changqing obtained all the major opportunities on this Starry Sky Ancient Road. His Highness the Fourth Prince came away empty-handed. In this Ancient Road showdown, the Fourth Prince was also defeated by Lin Changqing. I heard that Lin Changqing also obtained the final Stone Monkey Celestial Art inheritance, which is why we dispatched six Marquis armies to encircle and kill him. Think about it. Can we let a genius with the Stone Monkey Celestial Art return to the Chu Kingdom? Once we let him return to the Chu Kingdom, it will be a great disaster for our Wu Kingdom!"

Hearing Zhao Long's words, several Wu Kingdom soldiers exchanged glances again. They never expected that Lin Changqing would betray the Chu Kingdom, and that he was bewitched by the beauty of the Chu Kingdom's princess. In their impression, the Chu Kingdom's princess was the Fourth Prince's fiancée.

Several soldiers exchanged glances, their eyes filled with gossip. No wonder six Marquis armies were dispatched to encircle and kill Lin Changqing. It turned out that the Fourth Prince had a green grassland on his head!

Moreover, Zhao Long's words also contained explosive news. The soldiers were also incredulous after hearing it. That was that Lin Changqing had actually defeated the Fourth Prince in the Starry Sky Ancient Road duel and seized the Stone Monkey Celestial Art. In their impression, Lin Changqing was only at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage. Although his talent surpassed the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince was at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage. How could he have been defeated by Lin Changqing?

"Captain, did you hear false news? I know that Lin Changqing's talent is strong, but I remember that he was only at the third or fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage. How could he defeat the Fourth Prince, who is at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage?" Wang Shan said in shock. In his heart, the Fourth Prince was an invincible figure of the younger generation, but now he had been defeated by Lin Changqing, which made him somewhat unbelievable.

"Lin Changqing is simply a child of fortune. I heard that he obtained many opportunities on the Starry Sky Ancient Road and reached the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage in just a few days, so it is not surprising that he defeated the Fourth Prince." Zhao Long shook his head and said. Hearing these words, the soldiers once again felt a huge wave in their hearts. They all knew the difficulty of breaking through realms in the Nascent Soul stage. Take their captain, Zhao Long, for example, who was only a Golden Core cultivator.

To become a Thousand-Man Commander, one needed to be at least at the Nascent Soul stage, but usually only at the first or second level. And if one reached the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage, one could become a Ten-Thousand-Man Commander.

Usually, it would take a Thousand-Man Commander at least several decades to advance to a Ten-Thousand-Man Commander, which was in line with the speed of cultivation breakthrough in the Nascent Soul stage.

From the first level of the Nascent Soul stage to the tenth level, even a fast cultivator would have to cultivate for several decades, but they never expected that Lin Changqing would only take a few days. How could this not shock these soldiers?

"By the way, Captain, do you think it's possible that the Fourth Prince was defeated by Lin Changqing and, unwilling to have the Stone Monkey Celestial Art taken away, released those words just now, saying that Lin Changqing betrayed the Wu Kingdom? In fact, he couldn't stand that Lin Changqing, a person with no background, obtained so many opportunities." Several soldiers suddenly said. They suddenly thought of a possibility. They felt that the reason for Lin Changqing's betrayal of the Wu Kingdom was too ridiculous, being bewitched by the beauty of the Chu Kingdom's princess. This sounded a bit dramatic, and they didn't quite believe it.

"Yes, the Fourth Prince, a noble by birth, must be unwilling to be defeated by Lin Changqing, a commoner. Maybe he is jealous of Lin Changqing, so he said that he betrayed the Wu Kingdom, wanting to nip such a genius in the bud." Another soldier said. These soldiers were all of humble origin, so they naturally leaned towards Lin Changqing emotionally. In addition, the Fourth Prince was usually very arrogant, and his reputation among these soldiers was not very good, so they all leaned towards Lin Changqing.

"Don't talk nonsense, do you not want your heads?" Zhao Long glared fiercely. These people really dared to say anything. "I'm telling you, don't think so much. Regardless of whether this Lin Changqing is being slandered or not, he has already betrayed our Wu Kingdom. Our next task is to kill him, understand?"

"Alas! This is definitely another story of General Bai Qi. These royal family members, ah, just like to scheme against each other." Hearing Zhao Long's words, several soldiers shook their heads and sighed. The Bai Qi they were talking about was a generation of divine generals from the Wu Kingdom four thousand years ago. He led the Wu Kingdom to attack invincibly, but later, the new emperor of the Wu Kingdom ascended the throne and felt that Bai Qi's merits were too high, so he found a reason to encircle and kill him. It was from that time that the Wu Kingdom continued to decline until Qin Wushang led the Wu Kingdom to rise again a thousand years ago.

These soldiers felt that the Fourth Prince was like the new emperor four thousand years ago, definitely jealous of Lin Changqing's talent, afraid that he would become too powerful in the future, so he wanted to eliminate him in advance.

[In fact, to some extent, the reasons these soldiers speculated for your defection from the Wu Kingdom are really not false. These soldiers really didn't wrong the Fourth Prince. The reason why you decided to accept the Chu Kingdom princess's recruitment was precisely because of the Fourth Prince's threat to you. As early as a few years ago, the Fourth Prince sent people to hunt you down. In addition, just after entering the Starry Sky Ancient Road, his subordinates came to encircle and kill you again. You knew that there would be no peace in the Wu Kingdom, so you returned to the Chu Kingdom. So, in some ways, these soldiers really guessed right.]

[On the other side, in the far west of Falling Dragon Mountain, in the central camp of the Great Wu army, there were six towering figures sitting in it. These were the six Transformation God Marquises of Great Wu. Sitting in the first seat was a young man, wearing cyan mysterious armor. The whole person looked extremely cold, and he was the Snow Mountain King of Great Wu, with a fifth-level Transformation God cultivation base, the strongest here.]

"Everyone, you have all seen the communication jade slip that the Thirteenth Princess just gave you and me, right? We must kill this Lin Changqing!" The Snow Mountain King sat in the first seat and said majestically.

Next to him was a bald, burly man wearing red armor. This man replied, "Snow Mountain King, is the letter from the Thirteenth Princess really true? I don't quite believe it. The Fourth Prince was actually defeated by Lin Changqing, and the letter says that this person created the Immortal King Body himself. This is really amazing. A Nascent Soul cultivator actually created an invincible physique! ?"

This red-armored bald, burly man was the Volcano King, also a Transformation God Marquis with a third-level Nascent Soul cultivation base.

"It is indeed true, otherwise why would Her Highness the Thirteenth Princess want the six of us Marquises to gather near Falling Dragon Mountain to encircle and kill this person? Imagine, when Lin Changqing grows to the Transformation God stage, or even the Returning Void stage, who in our Seven Kingdoms will be his opponent? Even His Majesty will not be his opponent! This person's combat power is too terrifying in the same realm." The Snow Mountain King nodded in a deep voice. Hearing his words, the remaining six Marquises also gasped. Confirming that what the Thirteenth Princess said in the letter was true, they once again felt the terror of Lin Changqing's talent. This person must indeed be killed!
