Chapter 176 Soldiers of the Fifth Realm
It took Qin Changqing quite a while to find the corresponding person in his mind.
Su Moling, a powerful expert at the Seventh Realm Heavenly Pivot.
He would be an absolute top talent among ordinary people, and many forces would flock to him.
Qin Changqing remembered that when the three Su family women broke through to the next level, they caused quite a stir in the city.
At such a young age, she possesses such cultivation; calling her a favored daughter of heaven is no exaggeration.
But in the eyes of the Crown Prince, it seemed quite ordinary.
The experts of Tian Shu are first-rate masters, but the imperial palace is full of top-notch experts!
Being young has its advantages, but conversely, it also means lacking practical experience.
Qin Changqing could not reconcile the connection between the Tian Shu powerhouse and the frozen city-state filled with arrays.
Xi Yaoyue was also surprised: "Mo Ling? When did her cultivation level reach... Could it be that Daoist Qingheng taught her a new cultivation technique?"
Excitement flashed in her eyes. Half a year ago, her daughter was unable to cultivate due to the cold poison in her body.
Unexpectedly, she displayed her cultivation level, which surprised everyone!
Qin Changqing felt that these words sounded somewhat familiar.
Previously, I couldn't believe it and thought Su Yun was relying on external forces.
But it soon became clear that I was short-sighted.
Who could believe that a child could have such strength!
Qin Changqing was filled with surprise and doubt, and a crazy thought surged into his mind.
The sword light that froze the entire city was indeed the work of the three women of the Su family and a powerful expert from the Heavenly Pivot Realm.
And her power might also come from this child.
This is a lucky star...
Qin Changqing felt envious, wishing he had family like that.
He asked, "Is it alright for the people in the city to stay like this?"
Su Yun thought for a moment and said, "It looks fine."
He was just trying it out, letting Mo Ling unleash her power.
If the Frost Empress accumulates too much power within her, she will freeze herself, becoming an indelible, ancient ice.
To prevent this from happening, Su Yun instructed Mo Ling to use all her strength to freeze as many people as possible.
If they fail, there are still city defense troops and the Crown Prince's private army in the city.
Controlling the situation in the city is enough before harvesting the Imperial Lotus.
As it turned out, Su Yun's plan succeeded.
With the power of the Frost Ling Profound Body and the Frost Silent Sword of Qing Heng Daoist, Mo Ling froze the entire city in one strike.
Because what is frozen is spacetime, the protective true energy is forever frozen in a single moment of release, unable to stop attacks from higher dimensions.
Just as the Imperial Lotus releases spiritual power, but mortals cannot withstand it, thus causing abnormalities.
Because it is a good thing for strengthening the body, the defensive spiritual power has no effect and is affected by it penetrating the body.
Only by taking poison can one temporarily counteract this restorative force.
Time stands still in the city; whether it's a second or ten thousand years, it makes no difference to those within it.
The anomaly has paused; everything can wait until the group turns back.
Qin Changqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright then, young master, where are you taking us?"
Su Yun remained silent and simply led the way.
Seven hundred miles is nothing more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn in the eyes of a cultivator.
It was only because the area was so vast that Mo Ling had been searching for several days.
Qin Changqing stared in disbelief at the scene before him: "This place... has actually produced a rare treasure!"
At the end of the endless mountain range, a cave gleams with light.
The purple light surged forth like life itself, crashing down like ocean waves, turning the surrounding jungles, grasslands, and snowfields into a mystical landscape.
Just by getting close, people felt a powerful vitality and experienced a sudden itch on their bodies.
Crackling.
Qin Changqing slapped his cheek, and a large piece of skin came off.
He was stunned for a moment before realizing that clean, smooth new skin had grown in the original spot, washing away the old, heavy skin.
"Such powerful spiritual energy!" Qin Changqing couldn't help but exclaim.
Just standing here, I feel my cultivation level is skyrocketing.
Each breath I take is equivalent to ten or fifteen days of arduous training outside.
"It's so mysterious that no one outside noticed it at all; it's truly amazing."
Qin Changqing vaguely sensed the connection between the rare treasure here and Cheng'an County.
But they were also surprised that among so many experts in the city, not a single one had noticed anything amiss.
It was only after Su Yun brought them here that they learned of such a precious treasure.
Xi Yaoyue also felt some powder fall off her body, and she felt much more comfortable.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with envy: "Rare treasures belong to those who are destined to possess them. When will it be our family's turn?"
For royalty, being able to participate in a treasure hunt is already a privilege, and to be here is already a matter of fate.
Xi Yaoyue dared not hope to obtain the treasure that caused the wonders of heaven and earth.
If she knew that her son had not only sparked a war among the saints, but also seized the imperial treasure, one wonders what she would think...
Qin Changqing took a deep breath and asked, "Young Master Su, what do you think of this rare treasure? Should we take it? And how should we take it?"
Su Yun nodded: "Of course I'll take it."
Nonsense, we're here to steal treasure.
Moreover, if the Imperial Lotus is not removed, the surrounding spiritual energy will become excessive and turn the place into a living hell.
Having no spiritual power is bad, but having too much can also cause disaster.
Upon hearing this, Qin Changqing immediately exclaimed with delight, "That's good!"
His main concern seemed to lie with Su Yun; without Su Yun's permission, the matter could not be accomplished.
Qin Changqing said, "Master Wu!"
The protector, Master Wu, immediately bowed: "Your Highness."
Qin Changqing pointed to the cave emitting purple light: "Go ahead and investigate."
"Yes!" Master Wu bowed again, and was about to turn around after speaking.
"Hehehe, there's no need to trouble you, Your Majesty." The proud and aloof voice fell as the Eighth Princess stood on the wind, still elegant.
Qin Changqing frowned: "You want to reap the benefits?"
The Eighth Princess covered her mouth, looking surprised: "What did you say, Your Majesty? You've really frightened me."
"I just dare not trouble my brother, and I don't want to see him get hurt."
"We just sent people from the Prince's Palace to investigate the cave."
"Brother, you wouldn't want anyone to get hurt, would you?"
As she spoke, a spatial rift opened around her, and 50,000 elite soldiers flew down, heading straight for the cave entrance.
You can still vaguely see a lot of people's hands in the cracks behind.
The Prince's residence is only slightly weaker than the Crown Prince's residence in terms of official status, but in practice, it is a matter of whoever is stronger and has more troops.
Moreover, these soldiers were all strong and robust, wearing spirit armor made of an unknown metal, and were exceptionally brave and valiant.
What's even more terrifying is that their strength averages the fifth realm!
Military strategists excel in numbers, not in individual strength.
Even the generals mostly had subordinates at the third realm.
The Crown Prince's Palace already has elite troops and strong generals, but it is only within the fourth border.
The soldiers summoned by the Eighth Princess had an average strength of five realms!
The effect of a battle formation composed of experts is self-evident!
Qin Changqing's face was grim: "Where did Qin Ke get so many elite soldiers?"
Not to mention, his men are still in the city, and even if the city isn't frozen, they're still there to maintain order.
Even though the numbers are roughly the same, the difference in strength is quite noticeable.
Qin Changqing also didn't understand why the Eighth Princess's army was much stronger than his own.
"Where did she get the money and resources? Did she have someone supporting her, or...?"
While he was still pondering, the Eighth Princess chuckled and said, "Since Your Majesty has agreed, then I, your little sister, will take on the responsibility of being the vanguard."
