Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 816 816: Imperial Palace of Heaven Edict!

The girl did not hide her origins.

After all, hiding is of no use; she had already witnessed how terrifying Qin Heng's strength was!

This is a terrifying strong figure who could with one palm press to death over a dozen Innate peak and one Semi-Saint, and a Great Saint who already went into seclusion five hundred years ago and whose existence is even more ancient than Da Shang!

Lying in front of such a strong figure is completely against one's own life.

Only someone who is reckless would do such a thing.

She cherishes her life.

Moreover, in her view, such a Great Saint who has no qualms obliterating Da Shang's soldiers might be drawn into the organization!

This is a Great Saint!

Even within the organization, such a level of strong figure is extremely rare!

Shao Ying.

This is the girl's name, without a surname.

In the Yin Shang era, many people were like this; surnames were typically unique to Noblemen, and commoners were unworthy of a surname.

And for women, having a name was already quite rare.

Qin Heng was well aware of Shao Ying's current intentions because right after he asked questions earlier, Shao Ying clearly explained her origins and the reason for being hunted.

Moreover, the whole time she was under the surveillance of Qin Heng's Divine Sense, ensuring no lies were spoken.

Shao Ying, seventeen years old, Semi-Saint level cultivation.

A member of the secret organization "An Yue," practicing the Divine Skill "Shadow Moon Art," dedicated to assassinating members of Yin Shang's nobility to suppress Yin Shang's arrogance.

This time Shao Ying traveled to the capital of Da Shang, Chaoge, intending to assassinate a royal nobleman, one of significant status, but was discovered before success and pursued by Black Armored Cavalry.

If not for encountering Qin Heng midway, she would likely have been captured alive, and for a beautiful girl like her, it's obvious what she would face if captured.

To say Qin Heng was just a savior to her would be an understatement; he was someone who reconstructed her life.

"Shadow Moon Art, if I remember correctly, should be the legacy of Guanghan Palace." Qin Heng slightly raised his brow and chuckled, "Since when did Guanghan Palace's An Yue become a secret organization?"

Back in the modern spatial realm, Qin Heng had subdued an An Yue from Guanghan Palace and turned them into a Tao Soldier; the Shadow Moon Art is precisely the Divine Skill practiced by Guanghan Palace's An Yue.

"You actually know about Guanghan Palace's An Yue?" Shao Ying was astonished, looking at Qin Heng in disbelief, instinctively blurting out, "Who exactly are you, ordinary people aren't aware of the An Yue of Guanghan Palace."

Only those of high status and ancient existence, or those originally from Ancient Divine Sect and closely interacting with Guanghan Palace, could possibly know.

Yet if Qin Heng were such an individual, and of Great Saint cultivation, Shao Ying thought it would be impossible not to know him, because in "An Yue," the priority is to remember those closely connected with Guanghan Palace and friendly.

However, just as she spoke, Shao Ying realized her question was too rash, quickly bowed in apology, "Sorry, sorry, Mr. Qin, I didn't mean to ask."

Earlier when explaining her situation, Qin Heng had also casually mentioned his surname was Qin, allowing her to have a form of address, facilitating exchanges between them.

"No harm, go on." Qin Heng muttered thoughtfully, "Guanghan Palace is an Ancient Divine Sect, with many Great Saints inside; even in this era, one might have some Saint Kings, if they truly disliked Shang Tang's foundation, they shouldn't need you to intervene."

An Yue, in fact, is merely a department within Guanghan Palace used to secretly gather intelligence and possibly protect important disciples traveling afar, never for offensive actions.

Especially not for assassination.

There is undoubtedly something fishy here; either Guanghan Palace has changed in this era, or this era inherently has some issues.

"Mr. Qin, you might not know," Shao Ying sighed slightly, "A hundred years ago, the Heavenly Emperor Palace's Taiwu Saint King suddenly issued a decree, claiming the world would change, within the sects for those above Great Saints, either slumber or leave, were forbidden to interfere with worldly affairs."

Heavenly Emperor Palace?

Qin Heng slightly squinted his eyes and then nodded.

He also had some understanding of this Heavenly Emperor Palace; after exploring the Secret Realm of Time-Space Seal after the Battle of Changping, he personally executed a Saint Lord-level Earth's journeywalker from Heavenly Emperor Palace.

This is a true supreme legacy left by Jade Emperor, known as the Supreme Mystic Heaven High Sovereign, refining the supreme Divine Skill, and each Palace Master could be called a peerless master suppressing an era!

Taiwu Saint King was indeed the master of Heavenly Emperor Palace during Yin Shang era, peerless strength in the human realm!

"No one among the Divine Sect rebelled?" Qin Heng said with great interest.

His current persona was as a returning ancient strong figure after five hundred years in seclusion, unfamiliar with today's human realm, showing interest in these matters naturally wouldn't make anyone suspicious.

"None." Shao Ying shook her head lightly, "In the past whenever someone resisted Heavenly Emperor Palace, none survived; perhaps only a Saintly legacy like Taishang Dao could stand a chance.

But Taishang Dao's legacy level long ceased to exist in the human realm, even without Heavenly Emperor Palace's decree, one wouldn't see their descendants, this could be ignored."

Taishang Dao.

This was the first time Qin Heng heard of this legacy; according to Shao Ying, it might be even higher than Heavenly Emperor Palace, at least not weaker.

As the name suggests.

It might be the legacy of Taiching Virtuous Heavenly Sovereign, the Primordial Chaos Infinite Saint's legacy!

Taishang Daoist, even compared to Qin Heng's past life, was only a step lower, practically one of the few in the Boundless Universe just below Qin Heng.

Hongjun Daoist was only half a step further above.

"With many Divine Sects' Great Saints and Saint Kings slumbering or leaving, the kings in the world now have a place to flex their muscles." Qin Heng had roughly guessed the current situation, smiling, "The King of Shang is suppressing many Divine Sects, isn't he?"

The King of Shang during Yin Shang was not like the kings in later times; he was a genuine Saint King-level strong figure, even able to communicate with heavenly deities, borrowing divine powers!

Even when Ancient Divine Sect's Saint Kings were present, they showed three-part respect towards the King of Shang, often yielding in many matters, as Yin Shang had strong backing.

Now, with Ancient Divine Sects lacking Saint Kings and even Great Saints, Yin Shang became stronger in the human realm; not having thoughts against these Divine Sects would be strange.

After all, every Ancient Divine Sect is a source of endless prosperity, Divine Skills, Treasure Weapons, artifacts, treasures, and more; too many, the King of Shang couldn't resist.

"Exactly." Shao Ying nodded, looking grief-stricken, sighed, "Moreover, it's not only suppression. Ten years ago, King Shang Wu Yi began attacking sects, some sects were even destroyed."
