Martial Arts Domination: Start with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique-Chapter 49 - Gao Wusheng’s Test!

Who is the brave soul that exterminated the demon?”

“Tsk, we aren’t quite certain about that, but he seemed to bear some resemblance to the Executioner at the execution ground.”

“…”

…

The spread of rumors was even faster than Qin Zheng had anticipated.

By the time he arrived at the northern government office of the city, the rumors had already swept through Black Goose City like a tornado.

After all, affairs concerning the Demon race were rare in Black Goose City, hardly ever witnessed by anyone.

Therefore, when Qin Zheng reached the entrance of the government office, Steward Liu had already been waiting for him for quite a while.

“Young Master Qin, you’ve arrived.”

Steward Liu still wore his usual smile.

Qin Zheng nodded, then dropped the enormous Bear Demon head he carried in front of the government office.

“The monk Wuchang from Rebirth Temple is a Half-Demon who eats humans.

Those monks he brought with him are all a bunch of riffraff.”

At the same time, Qin Zheng looked at the other party and spoke.

Steward Liu nodded with a smile, then extended his thumb and praised, “Young Master Qin rids the people of evil, truly a paragon of youth and bravery!”

“Young Master, please come with me.

The County Magistrate arrived early at the government office and has been waiting inside for you.”

Qin Zheng’s eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded, stepping into the government office.

The attitude of the government office wasn’t as intense as he had expected; instead, it appeared quite peaceful.

But that was certainly not a good thing!

Qin Zheng remained vigilant, his spiritual awareness particularly active between his brows, constantly sensing his surroundings.

Steward Liu led the way, heading again to the garden deep within the government office.

However, at this early hour, there were neither warbling birds nor dancing maidens, nor were there any fine wines and gourmet delicacies, nor any exotic fruits and seafood.

Next to a rockery and flowing water in the garden, there was an octagonal pavilion.

Gao Wusheng, a man of slightly portly stature, was seated inside the pavilion, boiling a pot of steaming hot water, seemingly in preparation for making tea.

When Qin Zheng arrived at the pavilion, guided by Steward Liu, Gao Wusheng immediately stood up and cheerily beckoned, “You’re here?

Please have a seat quickly!”

Qin Zheng nodded and also entered the pavilion, sitting opposite Gao Wusheng.

“It’s still early in the day, and drinking liquor now would be rather uncouth.

Let us substitute tea for wine.”

Gao Wusheng lifted the pot of hot water from the stove, fiddled with the teaware for a moment, then passed a hot cup of tea to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng nodded slightly, but instead of bringing the cup to his lips, he directly asked, “How does the County Magistrate plan to deal with the matter of the Half-Demon Wuchang?”

He couldn’t remain indifferent to the matter and wanted to see how the County Magistrate would handle it.

“No rush, no rush.”

Gao Wusheng waved his hand and then casually remarked, “If I’m not mistaken, Young Master Qin is a local of Black Goose City, aren’t you?”

“Ever since Black Goose City was designated as one of Qingzhou’s execution grounds by the court, your Qin family has been the hereditary Executioner at the execution ground of Black Goose City.”

“Before that, you were refugees who migrated here from Yanzhou.

Although you don’t come from a notable ancestry, you are still considered loyal and good people.”

As he spoke, he nodded in approval.

Qin Zheng’s expression remained calm, completely unaffected by the other’s words.

The message the other party was trying to convey with these words was nothing more than a demonstration of power.

He had thoroughly investigated everything about Qin Zheng’s physical being.

At the same time, it was a reminder to himself that he was merely an ordinary person with no background.

“If Lord Gao has something to say, why not just speak frankly?”

Qin Zheng directly spoke up, interrupting the other’s indirect probing.

Upon hearing this, Gao Wusheng also let out a light laugh, then continued, “Black Goose City is located on the edge of Qingzhou, at the northwest frontier of Great Jin.”

“Travel a hundred li further west from here, and you will reach towering mountains and the endless Mo Xu Mountain Range.”

“Inside there are countless wolves and wild beasts, as well as vicious Great Demons that devour humans and crush bones.”

“What I want to tell you is, the Half-Demon black bear you killed, its father is a Grandmaster of the human race!”

“Its mother is one of the transformed Great Demons within the Mo Xu Mountain Range, an existence even more powerful than a Grandmaster!”

“Having killed their son, neither that human Grandmaster nor the transformed Great Demon will let you off.”

“And you, alone and without any background, even if you possess some Martial Arts talent, how could you possibly escape their pursuit and killing?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke out, “What does Lord Gao mean by this?”

With a light smile, Gao Wusheng then took out an exquisitely small box from his chest.

Upon opening the small box, what met his eyes was a blood-red pill emitting a rich scent of blood.

“This Great Rejuvenation Pill is made from many precious herbs, and its price outside is a hundred gold per pill!”

“After an ordinary person consumes it, their internal energy surges, inexhaustible and unending, quickly surpassing the four major barriers of the first realm of Martial Arts.”

“Young Master Qin has decent talent.

After consuming this Great Rejuvenation Pill, I believe you will quickly break through your realm and ascend to Grandmaster!”

“And after that, you will be one of my people, Gao Wusheng’s.”

“The name of the Quanyang Gao Family is, I believe, known to all under the heavens.”

“That human Grandmaster and the transformed Great Demon, no matter how furious they are in their hearts, would not dare to do anything to you!”

“This trade is something that would not result in a loss for Young Master Qin, no matter what.

This is my offer; what do you think?”

It is indeed the Quanyang Gao Family!

Such a Great Rejuvenation Pill, worth a hundred gold, they just bring out to recruit someone.

Just like the Internal Refining Technique of the Five Viscera they granted to Zhang Xiuwen.

Things that are so rare and hard to obtain outside seem to be just extremely ordinary items in the eyes of the Quanyang Gao Family.

A sense of exclamation arose in Qin Zheng’s heart as he stood up.

He shook his head and said, “I am but a poor commoner; I dare not climb onto the high branch of the Quanyang Gao Family.”

Indeed, just as Xu Weisan had predicted.

This person made no mention of the bandit leader Zhang Xiuwen; instead, he directly wanted to make me his subordinate.

And that Great Rejuvenation Pill was not truly a Great Rejuvenation Pill, but a Brain-Eating Pill containing a Gu insect!

If I had agreed, my latter life would truly be spent as a puppet, enslaved and driven by someone else.

This was something Qin Zheng would never agree to, no matter what!

Gao Wusheng’s expression remained unchanged, his posture steady, as he slowly said, “You should think carefully.

Without the protection of the Quanyang Gao Family, how will you escape this calamity?”

“Lord Gao need not worry on my behalf!”

Qin Zheng turned and left without lingering.

Only after Qin Zheng’s figure had disappeared did Steward Liu slowly step forward.

“My lord?”

His tone carried a hint of probing.

“Spread his reputation for slaying the demon in the city even further.”

“He is nothing but a frog in a well, a pitiful creature whose life is thinner than paper.

How would he know what the word ‘Grandmaster’ truly signifies!”

Watching the direction Qin Zheng had left in, Gao Wusheng scoffed mockingly and said coldly.
