My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Qin Beifeng took a step forward.

Riding on the rising winds!

Immense Qi surged within him.

With dual blades in hand, he charged into the night, clashing with the many strong warriors from the royal families and noble clans.

The radiance of Divine Powers flickered incessantly around him, the majesty of the Ninth-order Martial Emperor Realm roaring and raging like vast, turbulent rivers.

"Slash!"

"Break!"

With each move Qin Beifeng made, he instantly shattered the attacks from several Eighth-Rank King Realm warriors who were charging at Cheng Guang and Commandery Princess Ning.

In a blink, strong warriors from minor kingdoms were sent flying backward, coughing up blood.

The commotion caused by Qin Beifeng's intervention immediately drew the attention of thoughtful individuals.

Wu Qiche's gaze shifted from Cheng Guang, settling on Qin Beifeng. Watching the power displayed as Qin Beifeng made his move, Wu Qiche's eyes narrowed slightly.

"A peak Ninth-order Martial Emperor Realm fighter, truly invincible under the Heavenly Human Realm."

"To think there would be such a figure by the Princely Heir's side."

Wu Qiche muttered to himself, his heart slightly shocked and quite troubled. Without Qin Beifeng, a Ninth-order Martial Emperor Realm warrior, the Bureau of the Lamp's forces alone could not withstand the encirclement of other strong foes for long.

But with Qin Beifeng there,

it would be possible.

Wu Qiche was starting to regret not bringing a Heavenly Human Realm warrior with him. After all, taking action merely for the capture of a remnant of Great Chu and requesting the Emperor's intervention would have been an overreaction.

Yet, what had emerged was not merely a single remnant of Great Chu but two — the Crown Prince of Great Chu, who was presumed dead without a body found, and a princess from who knows how many years ago.

Even just one of them might not be enough to provoke the intervention of a Heavenly Human Realm fighter, but with two on the scene, such intervention would no longer seem strange.

After some thought, Wu Qiche glanced at Li Longhu next to him and Guan Kezhong from the Great Wei Dynasty, then spoke, "Gentlemen, Qin Beifeng is highly skilled, claimed to be the strongest below the Heavenly Human Realm. We cannot stand by any longer. If we let the Crown Prince of Great Chu and Commandery Princess Ning escape, none of us will benefit much."

"Let's join forces to suppress Qin Beifeng first. Whoever can capture the remnants of Great Chu afterward will do so by their own strength."

In response to Wu Qiche's words, Li Longhu simply smiled and remained silent.

Guan Kezhong, however, shook his head. His icy expression unchanging, his voice rough as he said,

"Great Wei has no interest in the royal family of Great Chu. Not long ago, because of the martial contest trials, the Princely Heir helped save many students from Great Wei. We owe him a favor and cannot intervene."

"If the Third Prince wishes to take action, he may decide for himself."

After Guan Kezhong finished, Wu Qiche's brows furrowed slightly. Guan Kezhong's cultivation strength was not weak; he too was a Ninth-order Martial Emperor Realm warrior.

If Guan Kezhong took action, the odds of suppressing Qin Beifeng would be greater.

Previously, Wu Qiche had heard Guan Kezhong say that as long as Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke's Heir, could resist their royal and noble clans, Guan Kezhong would not move against him.

Wu Qiche had first thought that Guan Kezhong was just paying lip service and would not really hold back.

Who could have expected that Guan Kezhong meant exactly what he said, being stubborn to the core, uttering words resolute and irreversible?

Wu Qiche's face twitched as if he were in pain.

He turned his gaze to Li Longhu.

This elder, Wu Qiche realized, had a cultivation realm completely inscrutable to him.

Far stronger than himself.

At the very least, he was a Ninth-order Martial Emperor Realm warrior.

If he could persuade Li Longhu of the Great Yan Dynasty to join forces with him, the remnants of Great Chu would divide perfectly between them — each could take one.

With that thought, Wu Qiche turned to Li Longhu, "Senior, how about you and I join forces?"

"Once we suppress Qin Beifeng, relying on the might of Great Yan and Great Yuan, we can ensure the remnants of Great Chu won't be snatched by others."

Upon hearing this, Li Longhu simply smiled and did not respond verbally.

Wu Qiche thought this peculiar person was agreeing to his proposition, and just as he pondered what to say next,

He saw Li Longhu slowly step forward, soaring on Qi, his figure rising towards Qin Beifeng, who was in the midst of battle with numerous warriors.

"I, myself, am enough. As for these remnants of Great Chu, whether it's the Crown Prince or Commandery Princess Ning, they all belong to Great Yan."

Li Longhu, dressed in a thin robe, although his face revealed his old age, his hair and beard were jet black. His entire being exuded a vigor and spirit which contradicted his appearance.

With each step Li Longhu took, he trod on Qi, walking on the air towards Qin Beifeng.

His words reached Wu Qiche's ears, causing his eyes to widen in astonishment, and he stood frozen in place for a moment.

Why was this old man speaking with such confidence? How could he remain so composed in the face of someone like Qin Beifeng?

And he actually intended to swallow both Cheng Guang, the Duke of the State's Heir, and Commandery Princess Ning alone?

Did Great Yan have such a big appetite?

Wasn't he afraid of biting off more than he could chew and ruining his stomach?

Wu Qiche couldn't fathom where Li Longhu had found the courage. Lost in thought, he suddenly saw Li Longhu ascending step by step into the sky, his robe flapping, a profound and mighty aura spreading from him.

The presence emanating from Li Longhu caused all present to hold their breaths and widen their eyes.

"Is this..."

"The Heavenly Human Realm!?"
