#230 - Wang Chenghai preparing to defect

The guard said, "As you command, Your Highness."

After saying that, the guard turned and left.

Not long after, the guard came back in and reported to Qin Yu:

"Your Highness, this matter has been verified, just as the other party said."

"According to our informants in the Great Ming Imperial City, Qin BuYi had a life-and-death battle agreement with Wang Chenghai's brother long ago."

"The date for this life-and-death battle was originally set for half a year later, but Qin BuYi suddenly moved it forward for some unknown reason."

"Wang Chenghai naturally disagreed, but He Yan, the First Dean of the Great Ming Academy, put various pressures on Wang Chenghai, forcing him to agree."

"As a result, Wang Chengfeng was killed by Qin BuYi with a single strike in the Great Ming Academy's martial arts field."

Qin Yu nodded as he listened to the guard's report, but his eyes narrowed when he heard the latter part, and he asked:

"Are you saying that Wang Chengfeng was killed by Qin BuYi with a single strike?"

The guard replied, "That's right."

Qin Yu then asked, "What was Wang Chengfeng's cultivation realm?"

The guard said, "His cultivation was in the middle stage of the Great Ascension Realm."

Qin Yu stroked his chin and said, "To kill a middle-stage Great Ascension Realm cultivator with a single strike, that's a force to be reckoned with."

"Could it be that Qin BuYi has already broken through to the Great Ascension Realm?"

The guard said, "Intelligence came in a few days ago that Qin BuYi broke through to the Great Ascension Realm at the Great Ming Academy not long ago."

"At that time, the lightning tribulation triggered by Qin BuYi enveloped the entire Great Ming Imperial City..."

As the guard spoke, he took out a jade slip, which was engraved with various scenes of Qin BuYi undergoing tribulation.

Although these scenes were incomplete, all the important parts were recorded.

Qin Yu probed the jade slip with his divine sense and was shocked by the images recorded within.

After finishing watching, Qin Yu muttered to himself with a somewhat surprised expression: "Breaking through to the Great Ascension Realm can trigger the imagery of a Half-Immortal Realm lightning tribulation!"

"Could this Qin BuYi be a reincarnation of some ancient great power?"

"If that's the case, then we need to treat him with caution."

"These ancient great powers all have extremely complex methods, so we can't be careless."

Qin Yu suppressed the thoughts in his mind and said to the guard:

"Even if everything the other party said is true, we still need to continue to verify their identity to ensure that we are foolproof."

"Go down first and verify the other party's identity through various means, and then report back to me."

The guard said, "Yes!"

After the guard left, Qin Yu's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice, "If the other party is really the Second Dean of the Great Ming Academy, then this is going to be interesting."

"Such a figure must have a firm grasp on various important intelligence of the Great Ming Dynasty, and judging from what they said, they are planning to defect to my Great Qin Dynasty."

"If my Great Qin Dynasty obtains this important intelligence, it will inevitably cause fatal damage to the Great Ming Dynasty."

About an hour later.

The guard walked in again and said to Qin Yu, "Your Highness, after layers of testing by our intelligence department, the other party's identity has been verified."

"The other party is indeed Wang Chenghai, the Second Dean of the Great Ming Academy."

Qin Yu's eyes lit up and he said, "It really is him! This makes things easier."

"He said he wants us to provide protection, so when is he planning to defect from the Great Ming Dynasty?"

The guard said, "Wang Chenghai said that he is currently being monitored and guarded against by the First Dean of the Great Ming Academy at all times."

"He doesn't have the slightest chance to leave the Great Ming Academy."

"However, he said that three days later is the ceremony to confer Qin BuYi as the Dean of the Great Ming Academy."

"At that time, He Yan will definitely be somewhat relaxed, and Wang Chenghai has decided to take advantage of Qin BuYi's inauguration ceremony to defect from the Great Ming Dynasty."

Qin Yu nodded and said, "Okay, inform Wang Chenghai that the Great Qin Dynasty will arrange for three early-stage Great Ascension Realm cultivators, three mid-stage Great Ascension Realm cultivators, and one late-stage Great Ascension Realm cultivator to provide him with assistance in leaving the Great Ming Imperial City."

"Also, tell him that someone will be there to pick him up at eight hundred kilometers east of the Great Ming Imperial City to come to the Great Qin Dynasty."

The guard said, "Yes."

Qin Yu's eyes flickered, and he continued to ask, "Have you found out what important intelligence Wang Chenghai mentioned?"

The guard said, "Reporting to Your Highness, Wang Chenghai is as cunning as an old fox. Our intelligence personnel have used various means, but we haven't obtained a single piece of useful information from him."

Qin Yu was not surprised by this result. As the Second Dean of the Great Ming Academy, it would be surprising if he didn't have this level of sophistication.

Qin Yu said, "It seems that we can only find out what the important intelligence he mentioned is after he comes to the Great Qin Dynasty."

"Give the order to the personnel in the Great Ming Imperial City to prepare to receive Wang Chenghai, and be sure to ensure that everything is foolproof."

......

The night passed, and the sky began to show the first hint of dawn the next morning.

Great Ming Academy, Senior Instructor Area.

Standing in front of Qin BuYi were three people, one was Bai Qian, the nominal disciple disguised by the Great Fox Demon Emperor Qing Qian.

The other two were the Huang Shi and Huang Zhong brothers.

Qin BuYi's tribulation time for breaking through to the Great Ascension Realm was a bit long.

Originally, they had agreed to assess the three of them once a month, but unexpectedly, this tribulation lasted for more than three months.

After breaking through to the Great Ascension Realm, Qin BuYi immediately engaged in a life-and-death battle with Wang Chengfeng.

Amidst the non-stop busyness, Qin BuYi didn't remember the existence of the three of them until today.

He summoned Bai Qian and the Huang Shi brothers early in the morning to conduct the assessment for these three months.

Bai Qian and the Huang Shi and Huang Zhong brothers showed different expressions on their faces when they saw Qin BuYi.

Bai Qian was full of curiosity, plus shock hidden deep in her eyes.

The Huang Shi and Huang Zhong brothers were completely different. The two looked at Qin BuYi with eyes full of worship.

It was a kind of almost fanatical worship.

The three of them were also present when Qin BuYi broke through to the Great Ascension Realm and underwent the lightning tribulation.

Limited by their cultivation, Huang Shi and Huang Zhong only saw the surface of Qin BuYi's tribulation.

But even seeing the surface had an unprecedented impact on the two brothers.

Especially after feeling the aura in the tribulation clouds that could tear the two brothers into pieces with just a single strike, Qin BuYi's knife techniques and tribulation methods under this terrifying lightning tribulation completely conquered the two brothers.

Bai Qian was first shocked by the huge tribulation clouds triggered by Qin BuYi.

Then, when she saw the Thirty-Three Earth Fire Tribulation and the Forty-Four Sky Fire Tribulation, the surprise in Bai Qian's heart was pushed to an unprecedented level.

Bai Qian still vividly remembered the scene of Qin BuYi's terrifying knife techniques shattering the Thirty-Three Earth Fire Tribulation and the Forty-Four Sky Fire Tribulation.

Just when Bai Qian thought that the tribulation was about to end after Qin BuYi shattered the Forty-Four Sky Fire Tribulation.

Something that made her feel a little horrified happened, the lightning tribulation did not end.

Following the Forty-Four Sky Fire Tribulation was the Forty-Nine Samadhi True Fire Tribulation!

Bai Qian knew the danger of the Forty-Nine Samadhi True Fire Tribulation.

Even in the books she had seen, those who triggered this tribulation all died.

But Qin BuYi was burned by the Samadhi True Fire Tribulation for a few days, and he successfully passed the tribulation without any problems.
