Chapter 40 – It turns out we all misunderstood Minister Meng!

Chapter 40 – It turns out we all misunderstood Minister Meng!

Qian Yuan Sword Saint, clad in black, held a three-foot sword dripping with golden blood. With a cold gaze, he stepped off the commanding platform and looked around, pointing his sword at the remaining six young supremes.

"Who's next?"

In an instant, the thousands of spectators fell silent, their faces pale with shock.

Huang Hao's fall was too sudden!

One moment, the Golden Heavenly Horned Ant was displaying its might, causing everyone to worry for Qian Yuan Sword Saint. The next moment, the Golden Heavenly Horned Ant was dead, its soul extinguished.

Even the six young supremes were caught off guard, now left speechless in shock.

"The mark of mastering the Sword Sense of Time and Space, touching the threshold of Immortal Grade Sword Sense... No, this is Immortal Grade Sword Sense!" Jian Wentian's lips turned bloodless as he staggered back a few steps.

Jian Wentian's pride was shattered, his Dao heart shaken. The swordsmanship he had always believed in was now wavering.

Fear before the battle, a great taboo for a sword cultivator!

Jian Wentian's heart of swordsmanship was broken!!!

Wang Teng's face turned ashen, his expression dark and somber.

"A Sword Saint twenty years younger, and his sword sense has already reached its peak. Did this monster start cultivating in the womb?"

A twenty-year-old Sea Covering Realm Sword Saint couldn't be called young; he should be considered a child!

Cultivators who break through the First Rank Realm extend their lifespan by a hundred years. Breaking through the Cloud Ascension Realm formally enters the cultivation world, extending lifespan to five hundred years.

The Mountain Moving Realm can become the backbone of a sect, extending lifespan to eight hundred years. The Sea Covering Realm is called a Great Being, extending lifespan to fifteen hundred years!

In other words, a thirty-year-old mortal is equivalent to a five-hundred-year-old Sea Covering Realm cultivator...

By that calculation, the Sea Covering Realm Qian Yuan Sword Saint is equivalent to an infant in swaddling clothes!

Wang Teng thought that such a young Sea Covering Realm Sword Saint would have a shallow understanding of sword sense and a flimsy cultivation foundation.

But reality proved him wrong. Qian Yuan Sword Saint not only had a foundation as solid as iron but also an understanding of sword sense that surpassed most sword cultivators in the world.

"I don't believe a monster like you could be taught by a mere mortal." Wang Teng gritted his teeth.

The court officials of Great Jin exchanged glances, whispering among themselves:

"Indeed, Minister Meng has no cultivation level and has never been involved in cultivation. How could he teach?"

"Could it be that Minister Meng sought external help, pretending to be his disciple to save face?"

"He can even live off a woman, using his looks to seduce Your Majesty. What can't he do?"

"I think it's highly possible."

......

Such a heaven-sent genius, effortlessly killing a young supreme, undoubtedly, Qian Yuan Sword Saint is a monstrous talent under the Empress.

The master of such a person is actually a mortal? Who would believe that?

In an instant, the reputation of Minister Meng Qin reversed dramatically.

Some still didn't want to believe it and looked at Jiang Canghai, asking, "Prime Minister, is what General Qin said true?"

Only with Jiang Canghai's nod and the guarantee of two Big Column Kingdoms could these words be recognized.

Jiang Canghai felt his head splitting, glaring angrily at Qin Fenghuo, his old eyes almost spitting fire, wishing he could burn this loose-lipped old fool alive.

Jiang Canghai wanted to deny it, not wanting Meng Qin to be thrust into the spotlight, targeted by those with ill intentions.

But Qin Fenghuo wasn't wrong. These merits belonged to Meng Qingzhou and also to Meng Qin.

If Jiang Canghai denied it today, and later admitted these achievements, no one would believe it.

It would unjustly harm the Empress' Husband's reputation...

After much thought, Jiang Canghai sighed deeply, nodded helplessly, and said:

"Qin Fenghuo didn't lie, everything is true."

Wow!

Jiang Canghai admitted it too!

It's confirmed!

The one who has been lighting the way for Great Jin, walking alone in the dark alleys, is Minister Meng Qin!

Qin Fenghuo, hands on hips, looked smug, provocatively raising his eyebrows at Wang Teng.

As for Meng Qingzhou's safety, whether he would be assassinated, Qin Fenghuo's thoughts were simple: quickly defeat all factions, sweep through the nations, unify the world under Great Jin, and there would be no opposition.

If anyone dared to try to assassinate Meng Qingzhou, it would be like touching Qin Fenghuo's reverse scale, and he would kill them outright.

Qin Fenghuo just wanted to clear Meng Qingzhou's name, letting the people of Great Jin know what contributions the person they scorned had made for Great Jin!

However, Meng Qingzhou, who had been silent all this time, was dumbfounded.

"Huh?"

"So, I'm this great?! If I'm so great, why am I the last to know?"

Meng Qingzhou was utterly confused, feeling like the world's malice was pouring in.

Old Qin, I have no grudge against you, why do you always target me?

Previously, you deliberately drew hatred towards me, causing my fake identity as Meng Qin to be targeted by everyone.

Finally, I created Qian Yuan Sword Saint to attract all the attention, but then Old Qin shouted and pushed me back into the spotlight.

"Old Qin, I challenge you to a duel!" Qian Yuan Sword Saint suddenly turned, drawing his sword and pointing it at Qin Fenghuo, his words filled with rage that could ignite the sea.

Motherfucker!

Since you won't let me live, I'll cut you down first!
