The Holy Army is divided into the Regular Army, the Earth Army, and the Heaven Army.
The standard for the Regular Army is the cultivation of the Illusory Realm, the standard for the Earth Army is the Earth Immortal Realm, and the Heaven Army naturally requires the Heaven Immortal Realm.
The Heaven Army consists of only a hundred people, directly under the control of the Holy Emperor. The Earth Army has five hundred people, generally responsible for guarding the Holy City, while the Regular Army has a larger number and is responsible for representing the Holy Dynasty in battles, with no specific limit on the number of people.
The Earth Army and the Heaven Army are not much different in numbers, but the sudden loss of fifty Earth Army soldiers to the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint is a major event!
It's equivalent to an instant reduction of one-tenth of the Earth Army!
The news quickly alarmed the Holy Emperor Peak.
At the top of the Holy Emperor Peak, inside the Holy Emperor Palace.
In the magnificent hall, the high-ranking officials and generals of the Holy Dynasty were arranged in a row, each with a face full of anger.
Sitting on three precious thrones in the hall.
In front are two phoenix thrones, on which two women are seated. One is dignified and graceful, with a noble bearing, while the other is charming and alluring, with eyes full of a thousand charms.
They are the Holy Queen and the Holy Princess.
Behind them, on a higher platform, a dragon throne stands, and a man in imperial robes sits on it, exuding a faint golden light, setting off his stern and unsmiling face. Even without speaking, he gives off a tremendous sense of oppression.
He is the current Holy Emperor of the Southern Domain Human Race!
"The matter of the Lion Demon can be set aside for now, and the matter of Xu Tianyou can also be suppressed, but the matter of the Earth Army cannot be overlooked!" the Holy Emperor spoke, his eyes calm and his tone indifferent, but it exuded an irresistible dominance.
In his heart, however, he felt helpless. He had received news of Qin Jun's entry into the Holy Dynasty as soon as he arrived. He knew everything that Qin Jun and the others had done along the way.
He never expected this younger generation to be so assertive now.
If the Observing Heaven Assembly is not dealt with, it will surely subvert the Holy Dynasty in the future!
"The other party was able to swallow fifty Earth Army soldiers in one go, indicating that their cultivation is above the True Immortal Realm!" a general below spoke in a deep voice.
At this moment, the Holy Princess also turned and said, "Your Majesty, Xiangguang Wang is of royal bloodline and was killed by the other party. The two charges combined are enough to warrant their execution."
Her beautiful face was calm, as if she were talking about something of little importance.
But those familiar with the Holy Princess knew that she was already angry.
In the hall of the Holy Dynasty, the Holy Princess and the Holy Queen always wielded political power, although the ultimate decision-making power still rested with the Holy Emperor. This kind of sign only appeared in the Holy Dynasty, and was rarely seen in the lower dynasties and kingdoms. The specific reasons were unknown, but it was said that the Holy Emperor, the Holy Princess, and the Holy Queen had lived for tens of thousands of years.
The Crown Prince had been in power for eight thousand years and was still the Crown Prince. It had to be said that being the Crown Prince for eight thousand years was quite pitiful.
"Who among you is willing to take action?" the Holy Emperor asked, scanning the room.
After all, if this matter were to cause a commotion within the Holy City, it wouldn't be good to mobilize troops. And if they were to lose in battle, it would be a great embarrassment. Those with high cultivation levels disdained taking action, while those with lower cultivation levels dared not take action.
"Father, let me go!"
At this moment, the Crown Prince suddenly spoke, his face unchanged. The Crown Prince, who was over eight thousand years old, still maintained the appearance of a man in his thirties, with a handsome face and a calm demeanor that was reassuring.
The Holy Emperor couldn't help but glance at the Crown Prince and slowly said, "Crown Prince Qin, are you sure?"
Qin, the name of the Crown Prince, was what the people of the Holy Dynasty were accustomed to calling him.
The Crown Prince's expression remained unchanged as he nodded slightly, his hands clenched into fists behind his back.
Privately, he had already learned from the Holy Emperor that Qin Emperor had entered the Holy Dynasty. Although his cultivation had reached the first level of the Golden Immortal Realm, he felt immense pressure when facing Qin Emperor.
When people mentioned Qin Emperor, the first thing that came to mind was his terrifying subordinates, and the Crown Prince was no exception.
"Be careful!" the Holy Emperor nodded.
In the hall, everyone looked at each other. If it were a normal situation, the Holy Emperor would not speak in such a manner. He only allowed success, not failure. Could it be that the person causing trouble in the Holy City this time had an extraordinary identity?
The thoughts of the people were in turmoil. With the Observing Heaven Assembly approaching and Qin Emperor about to arrive, their pressure was already great. Now, with this incident, it was truly a troublesome time.
The Holy Queen had not spoken all this time, her gaze fixed on the Crown Prince, her eyes flickering, her thoughts unknown.
...
At the same time, Qin Jun and the others were wandering in the Holy City.
It had been two hours since Xiangguang Wang and fifty-one Earth Army soldiers were killed, and there were still no more Earth Army soldiers coming to apprehend them. As they walked further and further away, the number of followers also decreased. Now, everything had finally calmed down, and they could continue to stroll around, with the people around them unaware of what they had done earlier.
Of course, the news of Xiangguang Wang and the Earth Army being killed had caused a sensation, but few had witnessed the culprit.
"It seems that the Holy Emperor is backing down and dare not send anyone," the old man chuckled, and Qin Jun nodded in agreement.
If he were the Holy Emperor, he would choose to endure and wait for the Observing Heaven Assembly, as enduring the momentary anger was necessary for a greater plan.
If he continued to send people to assassinate them, it would be like offering their heads.
At this moment, Qin Jun suddenly saw a crowd gathering a hundred meters ahead. They were all looking up, and he saw two figures confronting each other on the eaves. One of them was the white-clad youth, Qi Xie, whom Qin Jun had encountered at the North Lookout Tavern.
Qi Xie held a black knife, dressed in white like snow, standing with one hand behind his back, his eyes coldly fixed on the gray-robed man opposite him.
The gray-robed man was of medium build, with sunken eye sockets and eyes like a vicious eagle. He held a long whip in his hands and sneered, "Qi Xie, today I will make you pay with your blood!"
The imperial court cannot engage in private fights, but as long as no one is killed, at most you will be detained for a few days.
"Hmph! Just you wait!"
Qixie sneered and directly swung his knife towards the man in the grey robe. The two were less than ten meters apart, and in the blink of an eye, Qixie's blade was about to strike the man in the grey robe.
In a flash of lightning, the man in the grey robe dodged and then split into three residual images, lashing out at Qixie from different angles.
"Is this a technique of creating multiple images?" Qin Jun curiously asked. His own technique could create a thousand images, so he thought the other party might also have a similar ability.
"It's just residual images," Nine Spirit Yuan Sheng shook his head and laughed. In his eyes, such techniques were no different from tricks.
Thanks to the secret characters of the formation, his mental perception was far beyond ordinary people. He could easily distinguish between true and false with careful observation. This feeling was quite miraculous, but it was indeed real.
Just as Qixie and the man in the grey robe were engaged in a fierce battle, a figure flew from the Holy Emperor Peak. He stepped through the void, with golden light shining under his feet, as if a heavenly god was approaching.
It was none other than the Crown Prince Qin!
"Emperor Qin, I want to see if you are as mysterious and unfathomable as the legends say," the Crown Prince Qin murmured, with a calm expression as if he was just out for a stroll.
