Chapter 92 The Foundation of Spirit Sword Manor
"Your Highness, news has arrived from the Northern Barbarians."
Liu Feng appeared in Qin Wu's study.
"What's happened to the Northern Barbarians again? Have they launched another attack?"
Qin Wu inquired.
He's been so busy with the affairs of the Flowing Cloud King lately that he's had a huge headache.
Unexpectedly, trouble has arisen again in the Northern Barbarians.
"The leader of the Wolf God Cult of the Northern Barbarians suddenly attacked the Northern Barbarian King and seriously injured him."
"The Left and Right Wise Kings of the Northern Barbarians also declared independence at the same time, and now the Northern Barbarians have split into three kingdoms."
Liu Feng reported.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wu realized that this was interesting.
The Northern Barbarians worshipped the Wolf God, and the Wolf God Religion was their state religion.
The fact that the leader of the Wolf God Cult would actually attack the Northern Barbarian King is quite amusing.
However, he was also puzzled as to why the leader of the Wolf God Cult would attack the Northern Barbarian King.
"Can we find out why the Wolf God Cult suddenly attacked the Northern Barbarian King?"
Qin Wu inquired.
"The investigation is still ongoing. The Wolf God Cult leader's move was very sudden; there were absolutely no warning signs beforehand."
Liu Feng shook his head.
However, he has already sent people to investigate.
"Keep an eye on things, don't get tricked."
Qin Wu confessed.
He feared this was a conspiracy by the northern barbarians.
It was a performance deliberately staged for all countries to see.
"By the way, how's the merger with Xuan Yue Pavilion going?"
Qin Wu suddenly thought of the Xuan Yue Pavilion.
"The mergers have all been completed, and the Xuan Yue Pavilion no longer exists in Eastern Qin."
Liu Feng reported.
"Is Helian Zixuan available now?"
Qin Wu inquired.
"Yes, he has already been given poison, he wouldn't dare to betray us."
"Alright, let him set off secretly to the Southern Qi battlefield to protect Ziyu. I'm worried that those old fogies in Southern Qi won't behave themselves."
After receiving Liu Feng's affirmative reply, Qin Wu immediately issued the order.
"Yes, I will arrange it."
Liu Feng accepted the order.
The Southern Qi is now in a precarious situation.
It's hard to guarantee that the Grandmaster of Southern Qi won't break the agreement and directly attack the army's generals.
Moreover, with countries in chaos right now, even if he breaks the rules, probably no one will care.
After all, in less than a year, both the Eastern Qin and the Northern Barbarians have lost two Grandmasters.
Other grandmasters also dared not make a move easily.
Another issue is the division of the Northern Barbarians.
The Western Zhou Dynasty was engaged in a major war with the northern barbarians, and the plague had not yet been completely eradicated. The area west of the Western Zhou had become a living hell.
Meanwhile, the Southern Qi was embroiled in a major war with the Eastern Qin, leading to internal chaos and bringing the Southern Qi to the brink of collapse.
It's likely that even the grandmasters of various countries will no longer abide by the contract.
This is why Qin Wu sent Helian Zixuan to the Southern Qi battlefield at this time.
"By the way, has Liu Yun returned?"
Qin Wu inquired.
"came back."
The wind blew back.
"Send Liuyun to see me. You may go about your business."
Qin Wu nodded and said no more.
Soon, a man dressed similarly to Liu Feng entered Qin Wu's study. The only difference was the pattern on his robe, which distinguished the two men.
"Your Majesty."
Liu Yun bowed.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work this time. Did you do a good job with the task I assigned you?"
Qin Wu inquired.
"Your Highness, it's all taken care of."
Liu Yun reported.
Previously, Liu Yun was sent to investigate Lingjian Manor, and that trip lasted for two years.
Only then was the matter of Lingjian Manor thoroughly investigated.
"Tell me about the situation at Spirit Sword Manor."
Qin Wu inquired.
"Your Highness, after two years of investigation, I have discovered that Lingjian Manor is not simple. They have secretly accumulated a lot of power, and the previous master of Lingjian Manor has not died, but is still lurking in the shadows."
Liu Yun reported.
He only recently confirmed this news.
Only then did I realize that Lingjian Manor was the strongest of the three major forces in the martial arts world.
They actually have two Grandmaster-level experts. Before Qin Wu broke through, their number of Grandmasters was no less than that of the royal family.
According to Liu Yun's investigation, it's not just Grandmasters.
Furthermore, Lingjian Manor also hides more than a third of its Grandmaster-level experts.
"It seems that Spirit Sword Manor has grand ambitions! They have hidden so many powerful figures. I underestimated them."
Qin Wu said coldly.
I've also figured it out. Even though martial arts factions don't usually form marriage alliances with royalty, why did the Sword Master of the Spirit Sword marry his beloved daughter to the Emperor of Eastern Qin?
They're probably plotting to seize the Eastern Qin territory!
"Yes, there is a hidden army of martial artists in the Spirit Sword Mountains, numbering about five thousand. All of them are martial masters. If this army were to take action, ordinary armies would be no match for them."
Liu Yun continued.
"Good, very good. As expected of the number one force in the martial arts world! Five thousand martial arts soldiers."
Qin Wu had not expected that Lingjian Manor had such a powerful army.
He thought his thousand-strong Great Snow Dragon Cavalry was already very strong and invincible.
Unexpectedly, Lingjian Manor was even more secretive. Five thousand martial artists were enough to wear down a Grandmaster if he didn't flee.
"Is there any way to deal with this army?"
Qin Wu inquired.
This army absolutely cannot be allowed to remain; if the Spirit Sword Manor causes trouble, it will be a huge problem.
"It's a bit difficult. The old master of Lingjian Manor is stationed there, along with poison masters and physicians, and there are countless sentries around the area."
Liu Yun shook his head.
It took him quite a bit of time to find out where he was.
It would be virtually impossible for anyone else to get into that place.
This was also a measure taken by Lingjian Manor to prevent exposure.
Qin Wu fell silent upon hearing this.
This is not good news!
"Forget it, have your men keep an eye on things! Let's deal with the Flowing Cloud King's matter first."
After thinking for a moment without coming up with a solution, Qin Wu decided to keep an eye on Lingjian Manor.
As for taking action against Lingjian Manor, it will probably require careful planning.
We must first deal with the matter of King Liuyun.
While the Eastern Qin state appears to be powerful, it harbors considerable hidden dangers.
