“My god, what the actual hell is that?” Zhang Ying Hao was shocked.

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to carefully observe the monster while maintaining his calm.

He knows this monster.

It came from the Era preceding the Giant Era and the Fiendkind Era, a monster of the Chaotic Era.

Only this monster would have such a horrifying body.

Its power eclipses that of a normal Giant or Fiendkind.

Fortunately, it’s imprisoned in the casket, pierced by the sharp spikes and trapped in place.

It could only endure the pain of torture without any way to quickly escape.

——-it looks like there’s still a while until it becomes free.

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and used inner sight to scout everywhere around.

Now that he’s an Ascended realm middle stage, his inner sight could encompass the entire city.

Fortunately,

Within the capital, this monster is the only one of its kind.

Unfortunately, this monster is causing an unprecedented fear upon the newly re-established humanity social order.

Originally, the Fuxi Empire was still dyed in an air of joy from the Empress’ coronation.

In the capital, the citizens were gathered at various Squares, enjoying the celebration.

But now, a terrifying gigantic casket that held an unknown monster suddenly appeared in the sky.

The people gathered at the Squares went into panic.

They were screaming from fear as they ran away.

Even those watching on the other side of the screen couldn’t help but feel despair.

At that time, the coronation site.

Of the guests watching the coronation on site, someone abruptly shouted: “Varona is cursed, the Heavens called down a demon to stop her coronation!”

——-without being able to cut off the signal in time, this declaration was broadcast across the entire globe.

Gu Qing Shan turned and locked his eyes on a certain Fuxi politician.

His inner sight was still draped over the entire city, so he didn’t miss even the flicker of a blade of grass.

When the monster appeared, at the most crucial moment, that politician had ordered one of his subordinate to shout.

The word ‘cursed’ almost made the entire coronation scene fell into panic.

On the platform Varona’s face paled, gritting her teeth, doing her best to control her anger.

This shows just how weak her grasp on the Empire’s authority was, worst case it could cripple her career as a politician.

Gu Qing Shan evaluated the person.

He was a military man, a General, according to his uniform.

He was a Fuxi Empire’s military official.

He appeared triumphant, smiling with absolute confidence of his victory.

Someone got close to him and whispered: “Her people have all been caught; no problems arose”

“That’s good, today I want the world to know, she doesn’t have what it takes to rule Fuxi”

The military official continued: “When the coronation is over, ‘clean up’ her people”

“Kill all of them?”

“No, we still need some people to uphold the current political situation, those that surrender can live, but they need to be restrained”

“Understood”

The two talked in miniscule voice with countless of their own people around to prevent leaking their voices.

That’s why the military official wasn’t afraid of his plan being revealed.

Even if it is revealed, it’s too late for Varona to prevent anything.

He didn’t know everything he was planning was as clear as day under Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight.

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded, a bit irritated.

The world is about to end and these people still want to cause more trouble. historical

——thinking that, Gu Qing Shan decided his course of action.

He tapped Zhang Ying Hao on the shoulder and whispered: “I remember there were two Guardian deities in the Holy Church of Death, one being a Crow deity, the other a Dog deity”

“Yeah, this is common knowledge, what about it?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.

Gu Qing Shan spoke: “I need to borrow Tong Tong for a bit, and then this is what you need to do…”

He told Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li to arrange for a few things.

…

Very quickly.

Gu Qing Shan disappeared from the Empress’ coronation venue.

Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li wore sunglasses, parted the crowd of people while heading towards the bottom of the tower platform.

Their actions brought the attention of the royal guards.

But these royal guards already knew Zhang Ying Hao, as well as what he’s capable of.

The way Zhang Ying Hao took charge last time left a deep and lasting impression.

Now that the royal guards noticed he was heading here, they couldn’t help but glance at the Empress.

Varona saw the two of them, then heard Gu Qing Shan’s voice telling her what he was about to do.

She then calmed down and nodded to the royal guards.

They quickly made way.

Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li slowly came up the tower platform, stand on the right and left to protect the Empress.

“Even if the world comes to an end today, my coronation must continue!”

Varona declared loudly to everyone here.

The Bishop could do nothing but wipe his sweat, forcing himself to ignore the monster in the sky and continued with his blessing.

The eerie scene continued.

In the sky, while the gigantic casket stood still, the monster inside was screaming, struggling to get free.

On the tower platform of the church, Varona ignored everything and had the coronation continue.

This was still being broadcasted in real time to the entire world.

Everyone that was in despair from before instead became intrigued by her choice of action.

No one turned off their Holo-Brain.

Everyone wanted to see just how the situation in Fuxi will become.

The Empress’ coronation that was being broadcasted world-wide had already reached a record viewership, but was still continuing to grow by the minute.

Then, something strange happened.

A jet black crow passed through the clouds, landing on the tower platform.

In front of millions of people, it cawed at Varona.

Varona then respectfully bowed at the black crow.

The black crow flew up and softly landed on Varona’s shoulder.

It seems to have taken that place as its own, not moving, no matter what happens.

“Black Crow!”

“Look, it’s Black Crow!”

“My god!”

“The messenger of the Death god!”

All believers of the Holy Church of Death excitedly yelled out.

According to their doctrine, Black Crow and the Dog deity were servants of Death, the spreader of death and the sleeping deity.

Now, at the Empress’s coronation, a black crow had appeared.

Could this be a coincidence?

The military official smirked sarcastically, mumbling: “Still want to try the ‘messiah’ approach? However, it’s still useless!”

He then told a person next to him: “The plan has changed, immediately have her supporters choose, either surrender to me, or die”

“Understood!”

The person then took out his Holo-Brain and began to arrange accordingly.

…

When Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li were heading up the tower platform.

Gu Qing Shan left the coronation venue, walking in the large church hall by himself.

He is currently an Ascended realm middle stage cultivator.

Even in the cultivation world, Ascended realm represents top-level power, capable of becoming a candidate to become a sect’s master.

Overflowing inner sight released from Gu Qing Shan’s body.

Almost in an instant, his inner sight had fully covered the entire capital.

No shady business was able to hide from Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight.

“Found you” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

In different hidden bunkers, the officials who supported Varona were kidnapped and restrained.

Many military officers held weapons in hand, watching them.

They were silently waiting for the military official’s orders.

Gu Qing Shan looked up, observing the beautiful murals made from stained glass at the top.

One of the windows happened to be opened.

“Go” he muttered.

The Earth Sword and Chao Yin Sword appeared from the void of space.

A flash.

They went straight through the window and flew away.

Their speed was incredible, flying side-by-side, they descended at two different angles.

They went into those hidden bunkers, turned into blurred shadows for a split second before appearing again.

All of the military official’s men’s heads exploded like watermelons.

They fell down almost at the exact same time.

Dead.

To deal with these regular Professionists, he can kill them with just the speed of the swords alone, no need to even use specific styles.

Once they cut off the restraints, the swords flew back outside and headed for the next location.

Gu Qing Shan strolled down the isle of the large church hall while rescuing Varona’s supporters.

He suddenly stopped his feet.

Within his inner sight, at one of the places where the Earth Sword killed the officers, Varona’s daughter, the Fuxi princess was being held.

“Kidnapping direct line royalty is punishable by death according to the Fuxi Constitution”

“…Alright, let’s go bring her back myself”

As he finished speaking, Gu Qing Shan suddenly disappeared from the church hall.

The Earth Sword reappeared at his original position.

He was now at the hidden bunker.

Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]

“Princess, your highness, please come with me”

Gu Qing Shan held his hand out to the princess.

The princess looked at him with a complicated expression.

At the ball, she had actually thought he was just a bookworm.

Only after being told by her mother did she realize just how incredible this person was.

“Thank you” the princess spoke in a miniscule voice.

She then took his hand.

“No need to thank me, the rest of you as well, come”

Gu Qing Shan told the officials and royal guards being held here.

“What should we do?” one of the officials asked.

“Just hold on to my hand tightly” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Everyone followed and grabbed his hand.

The very next moment, they all disappeared.

The Earth Sword reappeared where they disappeared.

While Gu Qing Shan had already taken the group of people back to the great church hall.
