Chapter 2167 - 2167: Qian State Prefecture

Lin Songyun's gaze flickered.

She had felt the same emotions from Tang Haiyao in Han Xinkui.

People might be selfish.

But at this moment, she couldn't be selfish.

She had no right to make others dislike Qin Chen.

Moreover, Tang Haiyao was quite remarkable as well.

Perhaps life is just like this.

If the people are right but the timing is wrong, then it's still wrong.

Fortunately, both Lin Songyun and Qin Chen, the people and the timing, were right, so everything was right.

"Let's set out."

At this moment, with a loud shout from Tang Zhen, the entire soldiers of the Colorful Frog Clan and Qian State Prefecture advanced towards Black Frog Lake.

During the journey, with nothing else to do, Qin Chen decided to inquire about Qian State Prefecture from Tang Zhen.

Back then, Qin Chen had intruded into the Great Star Palace to snatch Lin Songyun for marriage, which led to a siege from the Great Star Palace, but eventually, he and Lin Songyun escaped. He assumed Qin Qi and the others might have perished in the Great Star Palace.

However, it was said that a mysterious figure appeared at the time and rescued Qin Qi and the others.

In the end, Qin Qi and the others joined Heavenly God Mountain.

Although Qin Chen had never seen this mysterious individual, based on the information Qin Chen investigated and Qin Qi's accounts, everyone said he resembled Qin Chen greatly.

So Qin Chen could almost confirm that the person was his father.

At that time, Qin Wen specifically entrusted Qin Qi with a message for Qin Chen.

The message was to ensure participation in the Qian State Contest and gain the favor of Qian State Prefecture.

Since that was the case, Qin Chen decided to learn more about Qian State Prefecture in advance. Besides, Qin Chen was indeed very curious about this gigantic entity that dominated Qian State.

When Qin Chen asked about them, Tang Zhen said: "We're actually just members of a regular legion within Qian State Prefecture, very inconspicuous in the numerous systems of Qian State Prefecture."

"Regular legion?"

Qin Chen raised an eyebrow.

Tang Zhen nodded: "Yes, within Qian State Prefecture, there are two legion systems, and these two legions almost encompass all external affairs of Qian State Prefecture."

"We belong to the regular legion, and there's another legion called 'Qian State Army.'

"Qian State Army has fewer people compared to the regular legion but is stronger."

"Just like me, I'm a commander in the regular legion, but in Qian State Army, I probably wouldn't be able to be a commander."

Qin Chen nodded.

Apparently, the entire Qian State is now guarded by both the regular legion and Qian State Army.

Tang Zhen said: "Actually, strictly speaking, besides the Qian State Army, there's another legion that is the ultimate dream of all Qian State Prefecture soldiers."

When Tang Zhen spoke of this, an expression of yearning appeared unconsciously on his face.

Qin Chen was also intrigued: "Which legion?"

"War God Army."

Tang Zhen spoke these three words emphatically, his demeanor full of solemnity and reverence.

Some of the soldiers nearby, upon hearing these three words, couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.

"Such a commanding name."

Qin Chen was slightly surprised, naming an army after War God—how domineering.

"War God Army consists of precisely one thousand people, no more, no less. If someone joins the War God Army, then someone else must leave."

Clearly, if one wants to become a member of the War God Army, there's intense competition at all times.

Qin Chen asked: "After all, Commander Tang is a two-star Dao King; with such strength, it shouldn't be difficult to join the War God Army, right?"

Tang Zhen smiled and shook his head: "You don't understand the War God Army. Any 'War God' in the War God Army has a minimum cultivation of a one-star Dao King."

Qin Chen's pupils widened in shock.

This War God Army was composed of one thousand Dao Kings?

No wonder they could have such a name!

With one thousand Dao Kings mobilized, who could stop them?

Just like the Saber Saint Cliff.

Even located at the pinnacle of Qian State, how could it withstand the assault of one thousand Dao Kings?

"War God Army is the strongest unit in Qian State Prefecture. Every soldier is referred to as 'War God,' and each War God takes pride in being part of the War God Army."

"Although I'm a two-star Dao King, seemingly meeting the standard for joining the War God Army, Qian State Prefecture has its arrangements. Perhaps it's not my time yet."

"After all, if all Dao Kings joined the War God Army, wouldn't the regular legion and Qian State Army be ruined?"

Qin Chen agreed: "Indeed."

"Are you shocked?"

Tang Zhen looked at Qin Chen with a smile.

Qin Chen nodded.

How could he not be shocked?

Qian State Prefecture was even stronger than he had imagined.

No wonder it could maintain its position as the overlord of Qian State for so many years without ever falling.

This might also explain why this time, with Zen Heart Dragon Palace emerging, Qian State Prefecture could produce so many extinct treasures.

This is the foundation of Qian State Prefecture.

Moreover, in Qian State, only Qian State Prefecture could possess such influence to mobilize the entire Qian State and besiege Zen Heart Dragon Palace.

Otherwise, if they were scattered and harbored ill intentions, Qian State could soon become the domain of Zen Heart Dragon Palace.

Tang Zhen said: "When I first learned about Qian State Prefecture, I was just like you."

"Precisely because of this, many of us are so keen on supporting Qian State Prefecture, for when we support Qian State Prefecture, we're supporting the entire Qian State."

Qin Chen nodded.

If someday Qian State Prefecture were to fall, Qian State would inevitably descend into chaos, and the situation would be even harder to manage than the emergence of Zen Heart Dragon Palace now.

Tang Zhen said: "The Qian State Contest is about to begin; it is the grandest event held by Qian State Prefecture in Qian State—make sure to make the effort."

"Qian State Prefecture is divided into 'Inner Mansion' and 'Outer Mansion.'

"Although with your strength now, you can certainly join Qian State Prefecture, it would only be joining as part of Qian State Prefecture's Outer Mansion."

"The true Saint Land of Qian State Prefecture is the Inner Mansion."

"Unfortunately, I'm just from the Outer Mansion, so I'm not familiar with the situation inside the Inner Mansion."

"I only know that everyone in the Inner Mansion is strong and forms the real core backbone of Qian State Prefecture, possessing tremendous power and countless cultivation resources."

Qin Chen raised an eyebrow, realizing just today that Qian State Prefecture was divided into Inner and Outer Mansion.

"Every year, Heaven's Pride individuals who excel in the Qian State Contest receive direct opportunities to enter the Inner Mansion—a rare chance that could change your life."

"Perhaps this is why so many of Qian State's top forces place such importance on the Qian State Contest."

"The cultivation ability of the Inner Mansion is unmatched by any top force in Qian State."

"Some even say that to stand at the pinnacle of Qian State, one must enter the Inner Mansion, just like the Extreme Origin Dao Master from your Saber Saint Cliff who became a Daoist Lord in the Inner Mansion."

Qin Chen's heart was disturbed.

He wondered if his father's intention was for him to gain Qian State Prefecture's favor and enter the Inner Mansion?

At this moment, a fish-belly white light appeared in the sky, signaling dawn, and they, with their troop, had traveled all night. Finally, they reached the vicinity of Black Frog Lake!
