Chapter 342: Twelve Metal Colossi, Heavenly Troops Arrive, Ghosts Haunt!_1
Sangqiu, Flying Cloud Valley.
Ding Qingyun was dressed in a gray short-range combat suit and was practicing a set of fist techniques.
The surrounding disciples were also cultivating.
Some of them practiced the same fist technique as him, while others did not.
The strange thing was that there was no instructor at the scene. They were all self-studying.
The reason was actually very simple.
The fist technique that Ding Qingyun cultivated was not a legacy of the Soaring Cloud Valley, but a new technique that the Great Qin officials had developed.
Sangqiu was originally the old city of Yan Country.
Back then, when the Qin army arrived, Soaring Cloud Valley also contributed a little, and many of their disciples died in the war that destroyed the country.
Even though they had submitted to Great Qin, their hatred for Great Qin could not be completely eliminated.
However, this had nothing to do with Ding Qingyun.
He was only in his early twenties. He was only a few years old when the Yan Kingdom was destroyed. He did not even remember his parents.
Ever since he could remember, Ding Qingyun was an orphan without parents. He did not know if his parents were killed by the Qin soldiers.
In short, he didn’t have any feelings for those national grudges.
Ding Qingyun only wanted to cultivate well and obtain greater strength!
Only then would he be able to control his own life and obtain money, power, and sex at will!
..
After practicing a few times in a row, Ding Qingyun stopped panting.
He kept feeling that something was wrong with his training, which caused him to be unable to successfully refine his blood and body to perfection.
However, this was a brand new cultivation technique. The seniors of the Soaring Cloud Valley could not give him any advice, let alone guide him.
Apart from providing some cultivation resources, the sect seemed to have no other use.
In this half a year, people kept leaving, and the atmosphere in the Soaring Cloud Valley became more and more awkward and deathly still.
“How about I go to Xianyang and join the Qin army?”
“I heard that there are instructors in the army who specialize in imparting martial arts. Moreover, they have extremely abundant cultivation resources, which are much better than those in Soaring Cloud Valley.”
“Perhaps that is where I should go.”
Recently, Great Qin had been recruiting soldiers from all over the world to create an unprecedentedly powerful army!
The imaginary enemy of this army was Heavenly Court and the immortals!
Therefore, all the resources were top-notch!
Of course, this was not explicitly stated.
However, the generous treatment he offered moved countless people!
Ding Qingyun, who was young and vigorous, also wanted to give it a try and fight for a future.
If he continued to stay in such a lifeless sect, he would probably have no future.
….
“Dang! Clang! Clang!”
Just as Ding Qingyun was deep in thought, a hurried bell chime came from the valley.
This sound indicated that something big had happened in the sect!
Ding Qingyun immediately stood up and looked up at the main hall in the valley.
Even though he had already thought of leaving the sect.
However, as long as they did not leave, they were still disciples of the Flying Cloud Valley.
But when he took a look, Ding Qingyun could not help but be stunned.
The main hall of the Flying Cloud Valley was surrounded by a large number of Qin soldiers.
Each of these elite Qin soldiers was a Xiantian realm warrior. They were clad in thick black armor and held swords and halberds that gleamed coldly in their hands!
Not only that, but they also wore some waist tokens with runes that were rich in spiritual energy on their waists. No one knew what kind of treasure they were.
Other than that, there were definitely other magic treasures and Dao-seals, but they couldn’t be seen from the outside.
Even an ordinary rich man would not be able to afford this equipment!
Coupled with Great Qin’s elite soldiers, one could imagine how powerful they were!
Ding Qingyun estimated that only 30 elite soldiers of this level would be enough to destroy the entire Flying Cloud Ancient World!
With such powerful strength, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotions, and the idea of joining the Qin army grew stronger.
..
Due to various reasons, Ding Qingyun and the other disciples came to the main hall and squeezed through the crowd to look inside.
Qin Bing, who looked like a military officer, strode forward and said coldly to the Valley Master of Soaring Cloud Valley,
“By the Emperor’s orders, we are collecting the weapons and magic tools of the various sects.”
“You can keep ten percent. If you violate or hide it, kill without mercy!”
Hearing this, the Soaring Cloud Valley Master’s expression changed drastically, but he had no choice but to agree.
“Yes, sir!”
He lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
After that, a large number of weapons and magic tools were transported to the main hall.
He didn’t even dare to hide some old goods that were almost scrapped in the inventory.
After confirming that everything was moved, the officer waved his hand.
Some of the supply soldiers moved the weapons and magic tools away in piles.
Soon, the main hall became empty.
The higher-ups of the sect all looked as if they had lost their parents, but they did not even dare to let out a fart.
They had long since received news that Great Qin was collecting all the soldiers in the world.
All the sects that tried to resist or hide it were all destroyed!
However, after losing the inheritance of cultivation techniques and weapons, what would the sect have left?
Only some cultivation resources were left.
However, the wealthiest place in the world was Great Qin.
In terms of wealth, all the sects in the world combined were not even a strand of hair on Great Qin’s head.
If this continued, the hearts of the people would be scattered!
Countless talents and treasures flowed towards Great Qin, and they gradually built an unprecedentedly powerful Dynasty!
This was supposed to be a golden age.
..
The higher-ups of Soaring Cloud Valley were right. The hearts of the people had indeed scattered.
Seeing that the Qin soldiers were about to leave, Ding Qingyun could not help it.
“Wait!”
He mustered up his courage and called out.
“What is it?”
The leading officer turned around. His cold gaze made Ding Qingyun shiver and could not help but feel fear.
Ding Qingyun had a premonition that if he said something bad, he would probably be killed instantly!
“I… I want to join the army, I want to join the army, I want to become a soldier of Great Qin!”
He was afraid that the officer would get the wrong idea, so he immediately voiced his thoughts.
Who knew that when he said this, many fellow disciples would jump out as well.
“I also want to join the Great Qin Heavenly Army! General, please accept me!”
