Human Clan Defender-Chapter 777 - s 99 to 100: The Demon God’s Fury, The World’s Reaction (Two in One, Requesting Monthly Tickets)_4

"The Imperial Court's current approach seems a bit like trying to help the shoots grow by pulling them up," the Elder said. "I suspect there is some reason forcing the Imperial Court to adopt such countermeasures. If that's truly the case, then it must be a significant problem." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

He instinctively felt that something about the Imperial Court's actions was not quite right. Even if nothing seemed amiss on the surface, there was still an air of urgency. With Yun Yi's years of experience, he had sensed something was off.

Upon hearing this, Chang Yin's expression changed slightly. "Does the Grand Elder mean to say that something is about to happen in Great Qin?"

After he spoke, he shook his head. "But that's impossible. The Demon Evil has already been mostly eradicated, and Great Liang along with Dayue have been fully integrated into Great Qin. The only remaining possibilities would be something terrible emerging from the Guiyu of Great Zhou, or from the Barbarian Clan of the Barbarian Desolation. However, any problem with the Guiyu of Great Zhou should not be able to threaten Great Qin. As for the Barbarian Clan, they failed to stir up any significant trouble even when Great Qin was weak. Now that Great Qin has reached an unprecedented peak of power, it's even less likely they would dare to invade."

After much thought, Chang Yin could not conceive of anything that could threaten the current Great Qin.

"Sect Master, don't forget about the recent unusual Heaven and Earth phenomena," Yun Yi reminded.

Chang Yin's face changed yet again. "Does the Grand Elder mean this has something to do with the Demon Evil?"

"Whether or not this is related to the Demon Evil, I cannot be sure. But Great Qin must have sensed something. The purpose behind establishing the Martial Institutes is simple: to propagate martial arts throughout the land and enhance the overall strength of the Human Clan of Great Qin. In the eyes of the Imperial Court, improving the strength of others might be no different from strengthening our own Sects. Perhaps that is why the Imperial Court, without any reservations, has allowed members of our Sects to serve as instructors at the various Martial Institutes."

As Yun Yi spoke, his expression grew more solemn. "If that is truly the case, then the problem is far more serious."

It's an undisputed fact that martial practitioners often use their skills to violate prohibitions. If, one day, the Imperial Court completely disregards this principle and openly lifts restrictions, it would signify that the situation has become exceedingly dire.

At the chief seat, Chang Yin also understood the other party's point, and his complexion turned somewhat unsightly. "However, since the Imperial Court is silent on these matters, it's pointless for us to speculate too much. Since the Imperial Court wants our Qingyu Sect to send people, then our Qingyu Sect will fulfill their wish. We can also take this opportunity to enhance the Sect's strength. Regardless of the truth, strengthening ourselves will never be the wrong decision."

Yun Yi shook his head. When you have enough power, all problems cease to be problems.

Chang Yin took a deep breath. "Who does the Grand Elder think we should send?"

"Our Qingyu Sect has twenty spots. The specific choices will depend on you, Sect Master. It would be best to select those with talent and potential. As for their knowledge and experience, it must not be too superficial either. As for the exact details, I am not in a position to decide," Yun Yi said, his expression returning to calm.

On the other side, Chang Yin fell silent.

While news about the Martial Institutes continued to spread, Shen Changqing received constant messages from the Demon-Subduing Division and simultaneously eliminated Mountain Spirits in various locations. By now, he had eradicated all the Mountain Spirits throughout Great Qin. Shen Changqing had even personally visited the territory of the Barbarian Clan. During that time, he naturally met with the Barbarian God. That Divine Spirit said nothing regarding the cleansing of the Mountain Spirits. Consequently, Shen Changqing encountered no obstruction.

As for Great Zhou, he had no intention of entering. With Mu Shentong resurrected as a calamity, the vast Great Zhou had entirely become part of the Calamity Domain. Even if many Mountain Spirits had existed there in the past, they would surely be long extinct by now. It can be said that the current Great Zhou is a true Guiyu. Within the Calamity Domain, not a single living creature survives.
