Everyone was talking about what had just happened. They didn't expect to encounter such a thing during their visit to Shengyuan Continent.
Fang Yun did not participate in the conversation anymore. This incident sounded a wake-up call for him.
Before, the demons would not be willing to spend too much to assassinate him, but now it is different. Even sacrificing a demon saint is worth it. There will be endless assassinations in the future.
Fortunately, the Holy Court was clearly on guard, so this trip was probably just to lure the enemy out of their hole. Instead of guarding against them day and night, it would be better to counterattack at this moment when it was certain that the enemy would assassinate us.
"If the demon world sends demons below the Saint level to assassinate me, the success rate is very low, after all, the Saint Academy is protecting me in secret. The demon saint can only use various clones. However, the clones are ultimately the power of the Saint. Once used, they will definitely be noticed by the Saint Academy."
"However, even if you guard against thieves for a thousand days, there will always be one who makes mistakes. Now I should strengthen my own strength. Once I become a university scholar or even a great scholar, as long as I don't go to the demon world, I will not die from assassination. When I reach the level of a great scholar, unless I fight with a small number of people and never retreat, the Great Demon King will not be able to leave any great scholars behind."
"Before I became a great scholar, I was inside the Holy Temple most of the time, so nothing should go wrong. The only thing I'm worried about is that they might suddenly trap us, cut off our connection with the Holy Temple, and mobilize the power below the Holy Throne to attack us. In that case, without the fluctuation of the Holy Throne's power, the Holy Temple would not be able to detect it in the first place."
Fang Yun became more and more worried, but he didn't have enough strength now, so there was no point in worrying.
"As long as you become a great scholar, we will settle these accounts one by one!"
Fang Yun stood on the Skywalker, looking at the night sky, his thoughts flying to who knows where.
Wenquxing is still bright, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, as long as night falls, it will always hang high above Shengyuan Continent.
Fang Yun stared at Wenquxing, feeling a little curious.
"Every time I get promoted to a higher position, Wenquxing will undergo strange changes. I wonder what changes will happen to Wenquxing after I am promoted to Hanlin."
After Fang Yun was conferred the title of Virtual Saint, his official seal was still the seal of the Duke of Zhenguo on the surface, but its actual function was equivalent to the imperial seal of the monarch. It had more functions, and could also receive messages outside the holy temple.
Jing**Fang and Fang Yun's friends and the opposing families such as Qing Kingdom or Zong Family sent letters to Fang Yun one after another.
The contents of the letter mostly involve the ten people who participated in the literary war in Qing State. All ten of them are over 60 years old. They are all at the peak of Jinshi, and there are even two Jinshi at the star level. They are all crazy about poetry and are brave. It can be said that they are the embodiment of Qing State's national strength.
The strongest one was one of the Ten Old Jinshi, and one of the strongest old Jinshi in the human race.
The Ten Old Men who passed the Jinshi examination meant crushing any genius of the same rank. No matter if it was the Four Great Scholars or the Eight Talented Hanlin Scholars of that time, they would undoubtedly be defeated when facing the Ten Old Men of the same rank.
The person most involved in these letters is Qu Han Ge, one of the ten great Jinshi of the human race.
There are countless legends about Qu Han Ge.
He is an expert in the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He has reached the third level in chess, music and calligraphy, and is also at the peak of the second level in painting.
Qu Hange ranked first in the county examination, first in the prefectural examination, first in the state examination, and second in the metropolitan examination. But he won first place in the palace examination and became the top scholar.
As for why Qu Hange has not been promoted to Hanlin, there have been many different opinions. Some say that he vowed to practice the three arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting to the third level before being promoted to Hanlin, some say that he was trapped in love and never promoted, some say that he was cursed by the demon saint, and some say that his literary palace was damaged and his will was greatly hit, and it would be difficult to be promoted after the literary palace recovered.
Even though Jing State was an enemy of Qing State, many people sighed and lamented over it.
In the eyes of everyone, with Qu Hange's talent and intelligence, he would definitely become a university scholar, and it would not be surprising even if he became a great scholar.
No matter what Qu Hange is like, he has unquestionable strength among the Jinshi candidates.
His military achievements are higher than many Hanlin scholars, and he has killed more demon lords than many people have ever seen in their lifetime. He was once ambushed by the demon tribe and eventually escaped from the demon king. This is still a topic of conversation among the people of Qing after dinner.
Among these ten people participating in the literary battle, there is not only Qu Hange, one of the Ten Elders of the Jinshi Dynasty, but also two very peculiar geniuses. In a few years, these two people will be qualified to compete with Qu Hange for the position of the Ten Elders of the Human Race. Because of their youth, their chances of winning are more than 50%!
One is a Jinshi who possesses the blood of both Zongsheng and the Ice Clan, named Zong Jibing. He is the biological son of Zongsheng's fourth son and the descendant of a mixed-race woman from the Shihan Ancient Land.
Zong Jibing was just an illegitimate child and was not included in the Zong family tree. Moreover, because his human bloodline was impure, it was already his limit to be promoted to Jinshi through the imperial examination, and he could never be promoted to Hanlin.
However, there are pros and cons. Although he could not be promoted to Hanlin, he had stimulated the power of the Ice Clan bloodline not long ago, which allowed all of his war poems to be given additional power of the Ice Clan, especially those involving ice, snow and rain, whose power could be greatly enhanced.
The real strength of Zong Jibing lies in the fact that he once entered the ancestral land of the Ice Clan and obtained the Ice Clan's heritage. He accidentally obtained the heritage of a deceased Ice Clan great saint, and his power was transformed into a sub-saint status!
Even the eldest son of a clan could only obtain the rank of half-saint, because the clan saint was only a half-saint.
Another is a legend among the Jinshi, Qiu Chongshan, who is known as the best spearman among the Jinshi of Qing. He did not practice tongue sword, but lip spear. Generally speaking, the tongue sword of the Jinshi should not have a real name, but his lip spear has a real name, called "Jiaoya Ancient Spear".
No one knows the origin of the Jiaoya Ancient Spear. All we know is that in an ancient place, Qiu Chongshan's team was trapped in the mountains for many years. Five years later, only Qiu Chongshan walked out.
No one knows what happened in these five years, but his lip spear got the real name of "Jiaoya Ancient Spear".
Moreover, the appearance of the Jiaoya Ancient Spear has changed greatly, and its surface is covered with carvings of dragon scales. Every time a spear is fired, there will be a sharp-toothed dragon horn phantom accompanying it.
Some people speculate that Qiu Chongshan obtained a sacred dragon horn in the mountains and used it to sharpen the lip spear, which eventually formed the Jiaoya ancient spear.
These three people all have a record of killing the Holy Son Demon Marquis!
Ordinary demon marquis, royal demon marquis, saintly demon marquis, saint's son demon marquis, great saint's son demon marquis, sons of two saints, all the way to the last clan of ancestral gods. The bloodline hierarchy of the demon clan is more strict than that of the human clan, and it is difficult to surpass the strength.
Ordinary Hanlin can only kill ordinary demon marquises. If they encounter a holy son demon marquis, 99% of the Hanlin will be defeated.
But these three people were obviously only Jinshi, one rank lower than Hanlin, but they were able to kill the Holy Son Demon Marquis. This is the manifestation of their strength.
Fang Yun’s strongest record at the moment is winning by exploiting the weakness of the Plague Lord’s clone, but he has not killed the Holy Son Demon Lord.
Therefore, neither Jing** nor his good friends were optimistic about Fang Yun, and they kept sending him letters to introduce the characteristics of the ten people, hoping to help him.
The sky-walking ship continued to fly in the sky. When the sky in the east turned from black to blue, the sky-walking ship crossed the Yangtze River and approached a city standing on the bank of the Yangtze River, the capital of Xiangzhou, Baling City of Baling Prefecture.
The city of Baling should have been pitch black in the early morning, but the road leading to the most prosperous inn in the city, three miles outside the city, was brightly lit.
Outside the street pavilion three miles outside Baling City, there were carriages of all sizes lined up, and countless officials and scholars were waiting. (To be continued...)
