The Demon Suppressing Marquis, descendant of the King!
After the banquet ended, it was already noon.
Jiang Qing and a group of young people left the banquet together.
The few of them chatted as they walked, until they reached the main entrance of the mansion. One of the young men, with a heroic face, cupped his fists and said to Jiang Qing,
"Brother Jiang, there's no need to see us off further. It's not far, and we can just take a carriage back."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Qing stopped seeing them off and watched them get into the carriage.
After they left, Jiang Qing returned to the banquet to see off the remaining people who had come to celebrate.
Finally, only the four of them—master, disciple, and grand-disciple—remained at the banquet.
The final part of the banquet was the distribution of treasures.
At this banquet, Grandmaster Zhang Heng obtained many rare treasures, including a number of Heaven And Earth Treasure that could aid in Martial Dao Cultivation.
Grandmaster Zhang Heng gave most of them to Yang Yi and Su Yue, keeping only a small portion for his own use.
Grandmaster Zhang Heng's potential would Peak at Martial Saint, and in the future, he would at most Cultivate to a Mid-Tier Martial Saint. Therefore, he had no need for Cultivation resources from now on.
However, his disciples and grand-disciple had excellent Aptitude, and these resources given to Yang Yi and Su Yue could significantly accelerate their Cultivation speed.
Jiang Qing originally had a share as well, but this time, Jiang Qing did not take it.
To put it plainly, these items were precious to ordinary people, but to the current Jiang Qing, they were not much.
Su Yue still needed them, but he did not.
The previous meeting gift was necessary to accept, as it represented Jiang Qing's acknowledgment of the master-disciple relationship with Grandmaster Zhang Heng.
There was no need this time, so Jiang Qing's rightful share was all given to Su Yue.
After distributing the Cultivation resources, everyone departed. Jiang Qing also left the mansion and returned to his own Champion Marquis Residence.
Upon entering the Purple Lightning Remains, Jiang Qing first initiated a round ofDelivery.
[You placed yourself in the Honghuang World for three years. During this period, you diligently Cultivated the Great Dao of the Honghuang World. Three years passed, and your progress on the Great Dao Advanced rapidly...]
After the placement ended and he had assimilated the memories of that life, Jiang Qing continued to immerse himself in Cultivation.
...
Time flew by as he was immersed in Cultivation.
When Jiang Qing opened his eyes again, it was already early morning of the next day.
After eating, Jiang Qing, escorted by Guard Captain Su Xing and other personal guards, went to visit War-Suppressing Marquis.
War-Suppressing Marquis was a Peak Martial Emperor stationed at the North Demon Battlefield, titled Zhenmo, and was a federal Marquis of the King-tier.
Yesterday, Jiang Qing had a conversation with War-Suppressing Marquis's son and decided to pay a visit today.
He now intended to reveal all the locations of the Qi and Blood Acupoints, and he couldn't just announce them directly like a reckless youth.
Because he had to conform to his current identity; to the outside world, he was still just a young Prodigy invincible below the Saint-Grade, and even though he possessed great strength and extraordinary potential, he couldn't withstand some old monsters' schemes and tricks, unable to protect himself.
In such a state, he naturally couldn't directly announce something as significant as the Qi and Blood Acupoints, otherwise, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from the current Human Race powerhouses.
What Jiang Qing had shown before could still be explained; whether it was his rapidly soaring strength or the sudden appearance of three Peak Martial Saint-Grade powerhouses, there were traces to follow, because no one knew the specifics of the Purple Lightning Remains.
The outside world speculated that Jiang Qing had obtained the Legacy of an extremely powerful individual in the Purple Lightning Remains, thus his strength Advanced by leaps and bounds, and he gained exclusive Dao Protectors.
But even three Peak Martial Saints could not guarantee Jiang Qing's safety against the combat power of the Martial Emperor Realm.
Given Jiang Qing's persona, if he were to so brazenly announce the locations of the Qi and Blood Acupoints, it would ultimately arouse the suspicion of the Human Race powerhouses.
Jiang Qing wanted to increase his prestige and gradually ascend to the position of Human Race Lord. He had to build good relationships with the current Human Race powerhouses, making them believe that he was merely a Human Race Prodigy who had rapidly improved after acquiring an Opportunity.
And not a dangerously mysterious character whose origin was utterly unknown, whose backing forces or powerhouses were uncertain, and who, moreover, showed signs of wanting to increase his prestige within the Human Race, with a high possibility of harboring ill intentions.
Thus, Jiang Qing could conveniently use the pretext of visiting War-Suppressing Marquis to announce the Qi and Blood Acupoints, along with proposing the concept of Mental Energy Acupoints, thereby gaining attention from the higher-ups and boosting his prestige.
His achievements would not disappear; they would just be temporarily sealed.
After a period of time, when he displayed a higher level of combat power, he would naturally be able to make this matter public.
With Jiang Qing's further management during the process, ascending to the position of Human Race Lord at that time would not be a problem.
Everything needed to be slowly planned, not rushed. Jiang Qing prioritized stability in everything.
War-Suppressing Marquis Manor, located at the very center, was vast and extremely magnificent.
This was the residence of a Human Race Peak Martial Emperor. The luxuriousness of the mansion represented the status of Human Race powerhouses, so every part of War-Suppressing Marquis Manor was built with the most precious Materials and reinforced by a protective grand formation.
Ordinary Martial Emperor powerhouses couldn't even break through the formation's blockade; only Mid-Tier Martial Emperors could cause damage to War-Suppressing Marquis Manor.
When Jiang Qing's carriage arrived, someone was already waiting at the entrance of War-Suppressing Marquis Manor.
A young man with a heroic face stood at the main entrance, with a beautiful girl in green clothes standing beside him, her eyes revealing curiosity.
Jiang Qing had already met that young man yesterday. He was War-Suppressing Marquis's direct descendant, the Young War-Suppressing Marquis, named Wei Tong. His Cultivation had reached the Peak of the King's Throne, making him one of the strongest Prodigy in the Human Race of this era.
As for the girl, Jiang Qing hadn't seen her yesterday, but he had heard Wei Tong mention her. That girl should be Wei Tong's younger sister, Wei Bai, also a direct descendant of War-Suppressing Marquis.
Their identities were extremely noble because War-Suppressing Marquis had only these two children in his entire life.
"Brother Jiang."
Wei Tong led Wei Bai forward and cupped his hands with a smile, saying to Jiang Qing.
"Brother Wei."
Jiang Qing dismounted from the tiger's back and also cupped his hands in return.
"Little sister, didn't you keep clamoring to see the Champion Marquis? Now that he's here, why have you suddenly become shy?"
After the two greeted each other, Wei Tong immediately looked to the side.
Wei Bai's cheeks flushed red. After observing Jiang Qing up close, her admiration for him deepened even further.
In her shyness, she momentarily forgot to pay her respects. Hearing Wei Tong's words, Wei Bai bit her silver teeth in embarrassment. She secretly twisted Wei Tong's waist with her hand, and then bowed to Jiang Qing, saying,
"Wei Bai greets the Champion Marquis."
"There's no need to be so formal. Just call me Jiang Qing."
Jiang Qing said with a smile.
Wei Bai looked at Jiang Qing, only feeling that his gentle smile crashed into her heart like a little deer.
For the first time in her life, Wei Bai felt a sense of love at first sight, and in her shyness, she was momentarily speechless.
"Oh, let's not stand outside anymore. Brother Jiang, please come in quickly."
Wei Tong timely broke the awkwardness.
After he spoke, the few of them no longer lingered and walked into War-Suppressing Marquis Manor together.
