It's only three years old, what kind of whitewashing system is this?

Chapter 175 1 Strike the Frozen City

Clang!

A beam of icy light suddenly shot into the sky.

"Who is attacking..." Qin Changqing subconsciously thought that someone was taking advantage of the chaos to attack Cheng'an County.

But then he realized something was wrong.

That icy light did not cause any harm.

The soldiers on the city wall instinctively turned around, but there was no blood splattering as they had imagined.

They were caught off guard and the light passed right through them.

The beam of light did not stop; instead, it continued to rush forward.

Its speed wasn't particularly fast, but nothing could stop it.

Whether it's the protective true energy of an ordinary cultivator or the defensive formations set up by a wealthy family.

It only produced a faint glow when the sword light approached.

However, it could not stop its advance and was easily passed through.

That icy sword light was like a dancing sprite in winter.

With graceful steps, it swept across the entire Cheng'an County in the blink of an eye.

The shimmering sword light that followed drifted by, covering the entire city.

Qin Changqing's mouth dropped open: "What is that?"

If there hadn't been no screams or cries of alarm, he would have truly believed that a powerful figure was about to attack Cheng'an County.

The city is not only home to his own private army, but also to millions of ordinary people!

But when the sword light flashed past, nothing happened.

One of the guards murmured, "Thank goodness, nothing bad has happened."

The guards on the city wall and the birds flying above it remain intact.

They were much relieved that the sword light wasn't an attack.

"No!" Qin Changqing's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in alarm, "Something terrible has happened!"

The guards on the city wall moved in unison with Zhong Jianguang, stiff as a painting, without the slightest change.

Humans can claim to be loyal to their duties, but what about the birds in the sky?

Further away, the Eighth Princess stood tall in the wind, her black phoenix robe fluttering in the wind.

Her face was pale, and she stared intently at Cheng'an County.

The birds that occasionally fly over Cheng'an County seem to have been paused.

Its wings stopped flapping, but it didn't fall; it remained frozen in mid-air.

Cheng'an County remains bustling, but it has lost all its vitality.

The entire city ceased to move; everyone was frozen in the previous second, forever unable to reach the next moment.

"Hehehe, Your Highness, it has been confirmed that Cheng'an County has been frozen in one blow."

A man dressed in black robes, exuding an ominous aura, spoke up: "Time and space have been frozen. What a grand gesture. I wonder which saint we've offended."

The Eighth Princess asked in a haughty tone, "Elder Li, are you sure he is a saint?"

The man known as Elder Li chuckled hoarsely: "That is the Great Dao of Ice, but because its quality is so high, it can actually freeze time and space conceptually."

"Not a single shard of ice was visible in the entire city, yet everything was frozen from the soul to the hair."

"What else could he be but a saint?"

The Eighth Princess remained silent.

It is not difficult for a strong person to destroy a city, but it is not easy to destroy a city either.

High-level cultivators can move mountains and overturn seas with ease.

If it's just about bullying the weak, as long as the opponent's level isn't high enough, you can kill them however you want.

In the dark ages when no rules were established, the daily task of small sects was to survive and hide as much as possible from the large sects' "This treasure is destined for me".

After the rules were established, the government's fortunes improved.

The cities of various countries are becoming increasingly well-prepared, with not only countless battle formations but also military strategists ready to rush out and give them a good beating at any time.

Unless one is a saint, it is really not easy to destroy a city with millions of formations in one strike.

Even the Eighth Princess couldn't imagine who Cheng'an County had offended, that its time and space had been frozen in one blow.

If the people inside hadn't had their inner strength gradually depleted during the long period of freezing, then...

After the ice melts, they will be awestruck by the dramatic changes of time and space, and then lose their way in the future.

The Eighth Princess said, "I didn't expect there to be a Sage nearby."

Old Li chuckled: "Freezing a city with a single blow is something even I find difficult to do."

Even the Crown Prince probably never imagined that the Eighth Princess would have a sage by her side!

This fierce tiger, hiding among the sheep, never showing any hunting desire, had only one reason—

His goal was bigger, bigger than the entire flock of sheep!

Li Hao said, "However, there is a fundamental difference between freezing ordinary people and experts."

"Your Highness, please don't worry about it. The whole city was frozen as soon as you came out. Isn't this a blessing in disguise?"

A strange hint of regret flashed in the Eighth Princess's eyes, but she still nodded with relief: "That's true."

call out!

With a flick of his wrist, an old man Li produced a slip of paper out of thin air.

He unfolded it and smiled slightly: "I was right to come. This Cheng'an County is more than just a plague."

"The Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty is indeed plotting something!"

Old Li waved his hand: "Let's go!"

The people from the Prince's residence immediately turned around and prepared to move forward.

The Eighth Princess spoke in a cold voice, "Elder Li, you'd better not reveal your identity."

Old Li was taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. So he said, "Of course, the Prince's residence is His Highness's residence, and naturally we shall obey His Highness's orders."

The Eighth Princess nodded and waved her hand, "Let's go!"

the other side.

Seeing the frozen birds, Qin Changqing realized: "Frozen time and space? A sage has intervened?"

He was astonished, and thoughts raced through his mind.

As the crown prince, he had naturally met the sage.

However, the sage acts cautiously, only taking action when the Great Qian Dynasty faces a severe crisis.

Each major power in the Tianyuan Realm possesses its own top-tier military force, which cannot be easily mobilized.

Saints possess a multitude of methods, each representing a powerful figure who has reached the pinnacle of cultivation.

Moreover, sages are difficult to kill, and even if they are killed, they may still have some means of survival somewhere.

Therefore, it's hard to say who will completely win in their battle.

If you eliminate a power and let its saint escape.

Who knows, one day they might come back and wipe out the lower and middle levels of the organization.

Therefore, all the major powers are very cautious and will not easily let the sage take action unless absolutely necessary.

This was especially true for their own territory. The Great Qian Dynasty had many officials and military strategists, and also closely cooperated with Confucianism and Taoism.

There were also martial arts families among the common people, and Buddhist families generally maintained good relations with them in order to expand their faith.

With numerous means at its disposal, the Great Qian Dynasty has the confidence to handle all matters effectively.

Who would use the strongest force to clean up a city just because it has a plague?

Qin Changqing suddenly turned his head: "Young Master Su, is this... a sage you know?"

He wondered if this was a saint under Su Yun's command, but after thinking about it, he felt it was too terrifying.

One sage is enough to establish a nation.

Even if this young master Su is intelligent, he shouldn't be able to subdue a saint.

Su Yun shook her head: "No."

Qin Changqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness..."

Which sage could it be?

Supervisor? Doesn't seem like it. He uses magic, but I've never heard of him having the power to freeze time and space.

The Imperial Advisor? Their techniques are similar, but the Imperial Advisor collaborates with the Great Qian Dynasty and has no apparent connection to them. I shouldn't be unaware of this…

Military strategists? A bunch of brutes, how could they freeze the entire city?

Wu family? Even more reckless...

Qin Changqing racked his brains, but couldn't come up with a solution.

No matter how you try to place it, you still don't know which sage intervened.

At this moment, Su Yun spoke up: "It's not a saint, it's my third sister."

Qin Changqing was stunned, his mind went blank.

It took me a long time to find the person in my memory: "Your third sister?"

"That person just now... Tian Shu?"
