“Holy Son, after entering rhe Demon Slaying Altar, you must be wary of the Qin family and the Spirit Race,” Huo Xi said gravely. “1 don’t think they’ll let this gOl”
The Qin family had long been respected, and with a Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouse amongst them, they placed great importance on their reputation. Wherever they went, the Qin family members were treated as honored guests. But now, in the Purple Clouds Holy Land, a Nirvana Realm prodigy and veteran Qua si-Saint Realm expert of theirs were killed. Their prestige was wiped out. They would surely seek revenge, and with their terrible temper, it would be more frightening than the Golden Crow Clan’s.
“No need to guess, they definitely won t let it go,” said Su Chen, gazing into the distance with disdain flashing in his eyes. 1II suspect they already have agents near the Demon Slaying Altar. After all… for the quasi-emperor to assign the Demon Slaying Altar mission to our Great Mystery Sacred Sect, they must have paid a great price. Impossible for it to end like this!”
Quasi-emperors were usually secluded in their cultivation, maintaining an indifferent attitude toward the conflicts among various external factions. They were just one step away from the Great Emperor Realm, so why would they bother to pay attention to a newly rising holy land? Furthermore, a force like the Great Mystery Sacred Sect was not qualified to enter the vision of a quasi-emperor. Yet strangely, the Demon Slaying Altar mission had been given to them. Any sane person could tell something was amiss.
“So Holy Son was prepared. I worried too much.” Huo Xi chuckled. “I’ve heard the Demon Slaying Altar is perilous. Do you need me by your side?”
She had reached the Nirvana Realm, somewhat useful to Su Chen now. Though not very.
“I appreciate Miss Huo’s kindness,” said Su Chen, turning to look deeply at her. “But having just broken through, stabilizing your cultivation should be rhe priority, not repaying favors. There will be time for that later.”
“Hmm…” Huo Xi flushed slightly at having her intentions seen through.
“If any difficulties arise, feel free to contact me,” Su Chen added. With that, he headed for the golden chariot.
Huo Xi watched Su Chen and Long Wu board the chariot. “Farewell, Holy Son!” she said respectfully, though her eyes were filled with complicated feelings. Although she had not known Su Chen for long, during this time, Su Chen had shown her immense kindness. Even if she were to offer herself completely, she still felt it wouldn’t be enough.
“Though I heard Holy Son already had a fiancee…” she murmured, her gaze clouded with uncertainty.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Qin Hao sat cross-legged, with the power of ancient scriptures surging within him. His entire body was submerged in the golden blood essence, and the entire cave seemed to be immersed in a serene atmosphere.
He had barely survived a bloody battle, saved only by his formidable strength and Cao Yun s timely help. After a full day, Qin Hao finally opened his eyes, injuries largely healed. He stepped outside.
Thin mist veiled the area, mysterious runes in its depths. This valley was enclosed by a formation. While not powerful defensively, it could confuse common cultivators. The Spirit Race experts chasing him wouldn’t find this place soon.
“Awake?” Cao Yun stood at the formation s edge in white robes, expression placid. He seemed only at the Nirvana Realm, but Qin Hao knew better. Cao Yun was far beyond that, at the peak stage of the Nirvana Realm, seemingly ready to break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm at any moment. Qin Hao had only seen such terrifying speed in one other, his big brother Su Chen!
He didn’t know how Cao Yun managed to achieve this, but he envied him not. Everyone had their own opportunity.
“Yes, thank you for rhe help, Brother Cao!” said Qin Hao sincerely.
“You’re Senior Brother Su Chen s younger brother, so protecting you is natural,” Cao Yun replied. “By the way, the pursuers seemed to be from the Spirit Race. Does Senior Brother know this?”
He didn’t believe just the two of them could fend off the Spirit Race. His strength was nothing special, just fast cultivation speed. Without his secret treasure, he would just have been an ordinary cultivator, even inferior. Lacking special physiques or cultivation methods, he couldn’t compare to monsters like Su Chen and Qin Hao. Informing Su Chen was the priority for Qin Hao’s safety.
“Not yet…” Qin Hao shook his head.
Cao Yun frowned slightly. “Without Senior Brother’s aid, we two alone can’t contend with the Spirit Race! What will you do next?”
Qin Hao pondered before answering solemnly, “While the Spirit Race is formidable, they are not invincible. Instead of constantly being on the defensive and pursued, it’s better to personally go to the Spirit Race’s headquarters and launch a proactive attack!”
His words contained powerful confidence and invisible pressure. Some matters had to be handled by him, starting with the Spirit Race!
Cao Yun s expression changed at this shocking plan. “You need to think carefully. The Spirit Race is an ancient and formidable clan with terrifying foundations. They even have a Great Saint Realm expert among them. You’re currently only at the Spirit Sea Realm. How can you contend the Spirit Race? Moreover, the Spirit Race s experts have issued a worldwide bounty for your capture. How do you plan to act? Going to the Spirit Race’s headquarters now is akin to seeking a path to your own demise!”
Going to their headquarters was something Cao Yun couldn’t even dare to think about. He hadn’t expected Qin Hao who only broke through to the Spirit Sea Realm not long ago, to suggest something so incredible.. Even Su Chen wouldn’t say this lightly!
