My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Chapter 139: Chapter 77: Old Man, Where Do You Want to Go? (Subscription Requested)_7

Emperor Zhou’s eyes brightened, his tense body relaxed slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared on his normally icy face.

“Good.”

Empress Wei of Great Wei also took an uncommonly long look at Cheng Guang.

Her beautiful eyes shimmered, wondering something.

Cheng Zhihai seemed even more distressed than the others, he sighed in relief, his eyes filled with disbelief but even more with ecstatic joy.

Guanger was unharmed!

Cheng Guang had not been injured.

That was what made him happiest.

Cheng Zhihai was even more delighted that Cheng Guang had the means to protect himself.

Cheng Zhihai did not ponder too much why Cheng Guang could unleash such tremendous power within the restrictions.

Whether Cheng Guang could also wield Qi or not.

As long as Cheng Guang was safe and sound, that was enough for him.

Right then,

after Cheng Guang threw his punch.

The air itself seemed to quiet down significantly.

In the Capital city, everywhere, seeing this scene seemed to erupt with different murmurs of speculation.

At the Central Loft on Crane-Crying Island, where a man in a black robe was still battling a constable from the Bureau of the Lamp, he too was taken aback.

Others, through the golden ranking projection, might not sense the presence of Qi.

But they could clearly feel that Cheng Guang had Qi inside him, not weaker than theirs.

Even…

Much stronger than theirs!!

They could wield Qi, but it had cost them a great deal, why could Cheng Guang wield Qi too??

Qiu Zhiman was also astonished, murmuring to himself.

“He can actually wield Qi now, the amount of Qi…”

“Is not less than mine…”

Qiu Zhiman’s face turned extremely ugly.

First, after arriving on the island, his attempt to afflict Cheng Guang with insects was unsuccessful, then his effort to gather all the Martial Academy students failed, and now the constables from the Bureau of the Lamp unusually attacked them, and the Princely Heir…

Could actually wield Qi too.

Everything was too abnormal.

It made Qiu Zhiman, who was usually meticulous in his plans, somewhat panicked and lost, not sure where he had made a mistake.

To have the situation change to this extent.

In his expectations,

the members of the Bureau of the Lamp were supposed to just covertly protect the Princely Heir and a few students, hiding away; they should not have possibly appeared here.

And now…

Qiu Zhiman took a deep breath.

“We can’t go on like this, the Princely Heir is too mysterious, he can’t be killed now.”

“Since the Bureau of the Lamp has appeared here…”

“Then those Martial Academy students you collected from afar should not care anymore, right?”

Qiu Zhiman mumbled to himself, deeming it much more worthwhile to cut down students with little resistance than to fight the daringly fearless elite of the Bureau of the Lamp.

Aside from a bit of regret for not being able to cut down the Princely Heir, there was not much else.

Qiu Zhiman quietly glanced at the battlefield, then quietly left through the back door of the Central Loft.

On the first floor of the Central Loft, many of the bound students from the Martial Academy of Great Wei saw the people from the Bureau of the Lamp tearing into the black-robed men.

Even the most foolish of people understood by then.

Great Zhou and those in black robes were truly not on the same side.

The students of Great Wei’s Martial Academy, who had been singing praises about the students of Great Zhou’s Martial Academy, didn’t know what to say in embarrassment.

However, Qiao Songshan in the crowd showed interest, his eyes gradually lighting up.

Even with both hands and feet bound, restrained, he couldn’t help but twist his body violently as he yelled out loud.

“That’s my boss, that’s my boss.”

“My boss has come to save me!!”

Qiao Songshan thought that Cheng Guang had gone to great lengths just to save him.

He was so touched that tears streamed down his face.

Cheng Guang, however, did not notice Qiao Songshan in the crowd; perhaps he heard the shouting and glanced his way, but his gaze quickly moved on, as if he was searching for something.

Cheng Guang moved like a streak of starlight, his feet treading on Qi, weaving through the crowd of robed figures.

The Martial Arts of Heavenly Gang Star Fight were executed by him to perfection.

Each move, each technique shimmered like the stars, unpredictable and constant.

With every person he passed, there would be a robed figure falling to the ground in agony.

Throats were crushed, bodies twisted, or they were blasted with a punch that completely displaced their internal organs.

Many of the robed figures were struck with fear.

Even if they had Qi to use within them, their hands weakened, and they were quickly pinned down by several constables from the Bureau of the Lamp.

The tide of battle quickly turned.

In fact, even without Cheng Guang, just Bai Shuxuan alone, in cooperation with the members of the Bureau of the Lamp, could have suppressed them, though it would have taken longer.

And more importantly,

That person was still not there.

Cheng Guang scanned around, and it seemed he had spotted something—a robed figure sneaking away through the back door.

He followed leisurely.

Qian Siyuan and Bai Shuxuan, along with some Bureau of the Lamp members, were still fighting with the robed figures and did not notice Cheng Guang’s movements.

Their perception had also been limited as their Qi was sealed at that moment.

During the battle, some Bureau of the Lamp officers also freed the bound students and officials from the Martial Academy of Great Wei.

They had been repressing a lot of anger.

Even without Qi, fueled by their vigorous Qi and Blood, they were determined to show these vermin lurking in dark corners that Great Wei was not to be trifled with.

The unyielding and fearless nature of the people of Great Wei was fully unleashed as they charged at the robed figures.

Boom boom boom.

The thunderous clash of fists and feet resonated continuously.

The situation seemed to tilt in favor of the Bureau of the Lamp, but everyone watching the projected images knew.

From the moment these robed figures appeared on Crane-Crying Island,

The Bureau of the Lamp had already lost.

They didn’t detect the robed figures’ trails beforehand, and they did not prepare for this incident in advance. Known for their vigilance and intelligence, the Bureau of the Lamp had completely failed.

Similarly,

This competition trial ended up in chaos, and the person behind the scenes who manoeuvred against both the Great Zhou Dynasty and Great Wei Dynasty made them both lose face.

Even if no one from the two great dynasties had died, they had still lost.

Their authority had been compromised.

There was nothing more humiliating for emperors than this.

Everyone silently watched the projected images, their mood not particularly good but significantly improved compared to earlier.

It was at this time,

Someone noticed Cheng Guang’s figure.

“Where is the Princely Heir going?”

Everyone realized that the Princely Heir had disappeared quietly.

By the time they noticed,

A tall, robed figure appeared before the Princely Heir.

Cheng Guang stood in front of the robed figure.

He smiled and said,

“Old Deng, where do you think you’re going?”
