National Guardian's Gone and We're Done-Chapter 43: You Think My Primordial Spirit Power Can Really Only Cover 10 Meters?

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: You Think My Primordial Spirit Power Can Really Only Cover 10 Meters?

After all, fate was always full of uncertainty.

No one could predict if the Black Pearl, the infamous Evil Spirit Ship, would happen to descend upon the territory of the Great Jing Empire.

If that really happened, and the already unstable Demon Cave were to undergo some strange transformation, then the Great Jing Empire would undoubtedly face an unprecedented crisis—one that could even plunge it into the abyss of destruction.

Therefore, they had to prepare for the worst and deal with the Demon Cave problem in advance.

This would prevent their troubles from piling up and creating a catastrophic shift.

"When do you plan to set out?"

Ji Shengyue’s voice held a hint of concern and anticipation.

Xiao Cangqing’s gaze was firm. "This matter is urgent. The threat of the Demon Cave grows more severe by the day, and the members of the Time Girl Group stationed at the foot of the mountain must be under immense pressure.

It’s a shame they haven’t cultivated Spiritual Power yet. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so helpless when facing Evil Spirits."

He shook his head slightly, a trace of regret on his face.

Ji Shengyue expressed her understanding. "Indeed, not everyone is as gifted as you.

Even the legendary Chu He has no rumored history of cultivating a Primordial Spirit.

If he could truly achieve that, it would be an astonishing feat."

She then turned to Xiao Cangqing, her eyes glinting with curiosity and inquiry. "I wonder, how far can your Primordial Spirit Power reach?"

The moment she asked, Ji Shengyue realized she had been a bit too blunt.

Primordial Spirit Power was one of Xiao Cangqing’s most vital secrets.

The extent of its range often represented the strength of a Martial Artist’s Primordial Spirit Power.

Within the area covered by this power, not the slightest disturbance could escape its master’s perception—a key advantage for seizing the initiative in battle.

She quickly added, "Of course, it’s your secret weapon. You can’t just show it to anyone. If you don’t want to say, you don’t have to."

Once the secret of his Primordial Spirit Power’s range was leaked, it would undoubtedly become a sharp blade in the hands of his enemies—a fatal weapon to be used against him.

"For Her Majesty the Queen, I am willing to reveal all my secrets."

Xiao Cangqing smiled, his eyes like a tranquil, deep lake in late autumn.

His handsome appearance, combined with his extraordinary talent, was indeed enough to make countless young women swoon.

Even Ji Shengyue, a Queen who had only ever focused on consolidating her throne, couldn’t help but be moved by Xiao Cangqing’s charm at this moment.

A thought suddenly arose in her mind:

’If Xiao Cangqing became my husband, wouldn’t my throne be unshakable?’

It was an idea she had never entertained before.

In Ji Shengyue’s heart, Xiao Cangqing had once been merely a pawn used to control the throne, but now, she might have to start re-evaluating their relationship.

"My Primordial Spirit Power can be released in a ten-meter radius with me at the center," Xiao Cangqing continued, a touch of pride on his face. "Within these ten meters, not the slightest disturbance or the faintest clue can escape my spiritual perception.

Here, this is my absolute, invincible domain." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Upon hearing this, Ji Shengyue couldn’t help but be amazed by Xiao Cangqing’s power.

She smiled gently. "In that case, I shall await your good news in the Royal City. Whatever resources you need for your journey to the Demon Cave, I will fully support you."

The others in the Council Pavilion had strange expressions. They rarely saw Ji Shengyue reveal such girlish emotions and attitude.

Had Ji Shengyue really fallen for Xiao Cangqing?

Considering Xiao Cangqing’s potential and future achievements, the two of them were actually quite a good match.

After all, they had all witnessed firsthand the influence of the former National Guardian War God, Chu He, at his peak.

And now there was Xiao Cangqing. Though he had yet to earn many honors, his talent and strength were enough to make one look forward to a glorious future.

"I don’t need any extra resources. I only need this battle to be broadcast live in its entirety."

Xiao Cangqing said, "I want all the citizens of the Great Jing Empire to see how I restore their confidence.

I know that because of Chu He’s betrayal, many people in the country have become dissatisfied with Her Majesty the Queen.

But I will turn this situation around and let everyone see the hope of the Great Jing Empire once more."

With that, Xiao Cangqing gave a slight bow, then strode out of the Council Pavilion with purpose.

His figure receded under everyone’s gaze, finally disappearing beyond the doors.

Ji Shengyue’s heart filled with even more joy.

Xiao Cangqing’s trip was not only to resolve the threat of the Demon Cave, but also to win back the people’s hearts and minds, solidifying her throne.

Watching Xiao Cangqing’s departing figure, her heart swelled with relief and pride. She couldn’t help but exclaim, "With Xiao Cangqing in my Great Jing Empire, how could we not prosper?

Those people who think I’ll regret Chu He joining the Great Xia Empire—how could they possibly know how sharp my judgment is?

What my Great Jing Empire lacks the least is precisely this kind of prodigious talent!"

The atmosphere in the Council Pavilion was exceptionally heavy.

Although sunlight streamed through the windows, casting brilliant patterns on the exquisitely carved tables, the dazzling light seemed unable to dispel the gloom in everyone’s hearts.

These were all high-ranking officials of the Great Jing Empire, whose wisdom and experience far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Naturally, they wouldn’t be so easily swayed by a few words or a single scene.

A deep unease flickered in their eyes.

Was everything really as simple and wonderful as Her Majesty the Queen claimed?

Xiao Cangqing walked out of the Council Pavilion, his shadow stretching long in the sunlight, as if he carried the hopes and burdens of the entire Great Jing Empire on his back.

Following behind Xiao Cangqing was a burly man.

He was Xiao Cangqing’s capable assistant, Xin Ziyang, a Ninth Grade Martial Artist at the Great Perfection stage.

Xin Ziyang was well aware of Xiao Cangqing’s talent and strength, but he was also worried that he had been too frank about showing his hand.

"Mr. Xiao, for you to have cultivated Primordial Spirit Power is truly a world-shaking rarity. Even Chu He might not have mastered it."

Xin Ziyang reminded him in a low voice, "You told Her Majesty the Queen about this, and there were many other high-ranking officials of the Great Jing Empire in the Council Pavilion. Won’t they become wary of you because of this?

After all, in this world, martial strength often decides everything."

A playful smile touched the corners of Xiao Cangqing’s mouth. "Do you really think my Primordial Spirit Power can only cover a distance of ten meters?"

Hearing this, a flash of realization lit up Xin Ziyang’s eyes.

So, Xiao Cangqing was hiding even greater strength.

Xiao Cangqing said no more, but he was calculating silently in his mind.

’My actual Primordial Spirit Power has a range of fifteen meters. Ten meters versus fifteen meters... that five-meter difference might be insignificant to an ordinary person, but for a Martial Artist, it’s an insurmountable chasm!’

...

「Great Xia Empire.」

The manor Lu Yinxing had prepared for Chu He was exceptionally dazzling under the sun.

Located in a prosperous area of the Royal City, the estate covered a vast expanse of land.

Exquisite residences were arranged in a picturesque layout, each one a beautiful blend of classical and modern aesthetics.

A fountain glittered with rainbow colors in the sunlight. As water droplets splashed, it was as if countless jewels were dancing in the air.

The lawn was a luscious, dewy green, exuding a fresh scent that made one feel as if they were in a natural oxygen bar.

The luxury of the manor was simply breathtaking.

It had originally been the property of the Royal Family, but now Lu Yinxing had gifted it to Chu He.

Chu He sat on a rocking chair in the manor, enjoying a rare moment of peace.

He was contemplating how to complete the mission triggered by the system.

Just then, Liu Yuzhu walked over. "Mr. Chu, there are two things I need to tell you."

Chu He looked up slightly, his gaze landing on Liu Yuzhu’s face. "Judging by your expression, these two things seem rather serious?"
