My Wife is A Sword God

The moment the upheaval in the western regions reached Imperial City, it caused immense ripples.

The entire The Great Qian had not encountered demon and ghost disasters above Grade A for an unknown period of time, but now they were reappearing!

As for the mysterious ghost-faced individuals, the uprising of demons and ghosts in the western regions and the terrifying Mao Yin have struck fear into everyone’s hearts.

Fortunately, it’s all over now.

In order to solve the disasters in the Western Regions this time, in addition to the efforts of the Duke’s Army and Prince Chu’s forces, and the formidable strength of the Demon Slaying Department, one man cannot be overlooked – Qin Feng!

“Have you heard? If Master Qin and the Duke’s Army hadn’t gone west together this time, the western regions would have been in danger.”

“Of course I have heard of such big news. When Master Qin demonstrated his military strategy outside of the Grand Literature Academy before, I felt that master Qin was no ordinary person. This time, it further confirmed my point of view.”

“In the land of Qiongyu City, Master Qin rose up out of thin air, stood on top of the stars, strategised, fought like a god, and killed demons and ghosts without any resistance!”

“That’s nothing. You don’t even know that this time, the Western Regions were able to withstand this crisis because of Master Qin’s eloquence, which convinced the White Tiger and Tushan Fox Clan to join forces against the invading enemies of the Western Regions!”

“Without the help of those demons and ghosts, relying only on our human race, we might not have won!”

“The information I heard seems to be a bit different from what you’re saying.”

“What’s going on?”

The man chuckled and waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to listen closely: “As everyone knows, the White Tiger Demon of the Western Regions and the Chief of the Tushan Fox Clan are all beauties.”

“There’s a rumour that Master Qin even sacrificed his body in order to persuade them to join the expeditionary force!”

Upon hearing this, the crowd began to gossip: “Is that true? But didn’t Master Qin’s two wives go to the Western Regions together?”

“Their contributions to the disaster in the Western Regions were considerable!”

“Aside from that, how could Liu Jianli agree with Master Qin making such a big sacrifice?”

“Is that even possible? The strength of the White Tiger of the Western Regions and the Chief of the Tushan Fox Clan exceeds that of Master Qin’s two wives. Even if they disagree, there’s nothing they can do.”

“And aren’t you curious why Qin Shi and the others haven’t returned even though more than a month has passed since the disaster in the Western Regions?”

“Why is that?”

“Ha, it seems that Master Qin has gone back to Tushan, probably to settle his debts.”

“You should know that these Tushan Fox Clan people are all troublesome demons. Master Qin’s sacrifice for the Western Regions this time is truly significant.”

“It’s so envious… Well, I, I mean, it’s really hard for Master Qin.”

“Yes, it is hard for Master Qin.”

Of course, aside from all this gossip, what really caught everyone’s attention was Qin Feng’s extraordinary Literature Treasure skills to unite all the soldiers, unleashing unimaginable fighting power.

All the soldiers in the imperial capital, including Emperor Ming himself, were filled with shock and joy when they heard this.

After all, if this method could be spread, it would be a great good thing for the entire The Great Qian!

In the imperial palace, in the royal study, Emperor Ming was reviewing the memorial in his hand, while Eunuch Li on the side was reporting the news.

“The rewards for the Qin family have been drafted and are awaiting Your Majesty’s approval.” 

“As for the disasters in the Western Regions and the appearance of the rift in the underworld, I have already corresponded with General Lie and Prince Chu, forbidding the soldiers to spread rumours freely or they will be dealt with according to military law.”

“At the moment, people’s attention in the Imperial City is focused on Young Master Qin, and no one is talking about the Netherworld.”

Emperor Ming frowned when he heard the words ‘Netherworld’.

The news about the Netherworld was indeed too shocking. If ordinary people knew about it, it would inevitably cause unnecessary panic, so it must not be spread.

“What did the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower say?”

“The National Teacher only replied with four words – ‘It is all fate.'”

A trace of thought flashed across Emperor Ming’s eyes, then he nodded and closed the memorial in his hand. He asked, “Has the boy from the Qin family returned yet?”

Eunuch Li respectfully replied, “Your Majesty, according to the reports from the Yuluo Office, after the fall of Qiongyu City and the killing of Mao Yin, Young Master Qin went to Tushan, where he has been for a month.” 

“Nowadays, there are some rumors in Imperial City, saying that in order to solve the natural disaster in the Western Region, Master Qin did not hesitate to sacrifice his appearance…”

The Emperor chuckled helplessly, “Rumours can become truth in the minds of many. Regardless of whether the Qin family boy has the courage, even if he does, Liu Jianli or the Dragon Clan woman would turn Tushan upside down.”

“Your Majesty is right.” Eunuch Li chuckled slightly, then handed over another memorandum: “Your Majesty, this is another confidential report from the Yuluo Office.”

Emperor Ming took the secret report and opened it. The content inside was a detailed description of the battle situation in Qiongyu City.

A few phrases in it immediately caught Emperor Ming’s attention – amazing martial skills, unparalleled fighting power, suspected to be the former Northern Region Commander Ghost Head.

Emperor Ming raised his eyebrows and silently put down the secret report. If he remembered correctly, Eunuch Li’s previous report mentioned that the head of the Qin family, Qin Jian’an, had left the Qin Mansion for a period of time.

And that period of time happened to be during the outbreak of the catastrophe in the Western Region.

“It’s interesting. It really matches the saying, that a tiger father does not produce a dog son,” Emperor Ming said with a smile.

Eunuch Li was slightly stunned upon hearing this, and secretly scoffed in his heart – was the head of the Qin family worthy of being called a tiger father?

In the Imperial City, at the East Gate, Zhang Qingfeng, who was in charge of guarding the city today, was still bored out of his mind.

And the rookie he was leading in the Demon Slaying Department had also made some progress during this time, but his head was still lacking.

“Senior, I don’t understand. With the Divine Guardian stationed in the Imperial City, there’s no way that demons and ghosts would dare to invade this place.” 

“Then what’s the point of you and me guarding the city gate?” 

“You know, my original intention for joining the Demon Killing Department was to kill demons and protect the safety of the people!”

“Guarding the city gate is also about protecting the people’s safety. Besides, if no one is needed here, where will our salaries come from? Listen to my advice, don’t think about these unrealistic things. In this world, living well is more important than anything else.”

As the words fell, a strong wind suddenly blew and the sky above darkened in an instant.

The two looked up to see a gigantic, golden-feathered beast covering the sky, its wings outstretched, covering who knows how much space.

“A monster, it’s a monster! There’s actually a monster trying to invade Imperial City!” The man’s tone was one of panic or excitement, it was hard to tell.

Zhan Qingfeng’s expression changed drastically. How could so many things have happened in the normally peaceful Imperial City in the past six months?

He rushed to light a spark to alert his colleagues in the Demon Slaying Department.

But just then, he saw several figures behind the golden-feathered Great Peng, and his hand froze.

“Senior, why didn’t you light it?” The man turned his head to look at Zhan Qingfeng, only to see him staring blankly at the sky.

Following his gaze, the figures became clearer and clearer.

The leader was a handsome young man dressed in black, with his hands behind his back and his black hair blowing in the wind. He was really majestic!
