Chapter 335: Come and Find Me
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At the same time, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky onto the Spirit Race island.
It instantly enveloped the surrounding tens of thousands of miles, causing thousands of islands to begin shaking. The dim light seemed like it could rupture and split open at any moment.
Before anyone could react, an elder appeared on the Spirit Race island. No one noticed how he came or how he suddenly manifested. It was as if he had been standing there for countless eons already.
He wore blue robes, his white hair cascading like a waterfall. Although his face was extremely aged, anyone could discern that in his youth, this old man must have been a handsome lad. One’s visage may grow old, but one’s temperament was immutable.
“That person…seems to be the Qin family’s Sixth Ancestor?” Someone recognized the newcomer’s identity and could not help but feel somewhat shocked.
There were several ancestors in the Qin family, arranged from one to nine. Some had already passed away or perished. But every single one still living was extraordinarily formidable.
The Sixth Ancestor was one of the greatest among them. The Qin family’s Sixth Ancestor had never married. In his youth, he already had scarce rivals among his peers and had stepped into the Saint King Realm early on.
To this very day, no one in the outside world knew the exact extent he had cultivated to.
“The Qin family’s Sixth Ancestor has appeared. It seems the Spirit Race’s destruction has attracted the Qin family’s attention.”
“After all, the two clans are related by marriage. How can the Qin family just sit back and watch?”
“Look, it seems to be other experts of the Qin family over there!”
“That’s…Qin Ziteng, the Qin family’s head?”
“Why does he have a saintly aura about him?”
“Qin Ziteng became a saint?”
The crowd broke into an animated discussion. Qin Ziteng becoming a saint should have elicited shock from many. But before the monumental news of the Spirit Race’s destruction, it seemed not so earth-shattering.
“Who dares attack the Spirit Race?” The Qin family’s Sixth Ancestor spoke softly, his voice icy and suffused with killing intent.
The temperature across the entire island tangibly dropped. Especially on the Spirit Race’s island, a layer of visible white frost was rapidly spreading.
“It was… A saint king of the True Dragon Clan!” Someone tremblingly spoke up.
One saint king had just left, and now another saint king had arrived. Everyone felt their hearts thump wildly. Usually, it was rare to even see one, yet today, two had appeared in succession. For many cultivators, this was an event worthy of boasting about for a lifetime.
“No! It’s not just that one person. 1 can sense the aura of heavenly tribulation upon this island!” The Qin family’s Sixth Ancestor opened his eyes slightly, countless divine lights shooting out and shredding the void, extremely sharp and piercing.
Although he did not want to bear witness to this personally, just based on the remnants, he could still deduce many problems. If nothing unexpected had happened…
Before the Spirit Race was exterminated, someone must have overcome their heavenly tribulation on this island! And there was a high chance it was not a member of the Spirit Race!
Because the Spirit Race would not be so foolish as to transcend tribulation at their own base.
“To be frank, apart from the True Dragon Clan’s saint king, there is also Su Chen, Qin Hao, and an unfamiliar youth from the Great Mystery Sacred Sect…”
Just then, another person spoke up. The Qin family’s reputation stood firm; they could be considered an enduring force. In the present East Barrens, many desired good relations with the Qin family.
And now was undoubtedly the optimal opportunity.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
Yet who knew, the moment he finished speaking, Qin Ziteng strode out from the void. He sternly shouted, “How can a mere Su Chen have ties with a saint king? Moreover, Su Chen should be on his way to the Demon Slaying Altar right now. Why would he be here?”
“But that saint king addressed Su Chen as Master…” another Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse softly spoke.
Upon saying this, the surroundings instantly quieted.
“Mas…Master?” Qin Ziteng was briefly stunned, only recovering after a long while.
He looked around. Everyone present wore the same dumbfounded expression, no one opening their mouths to refute it. It was clear the previous speaker’s words were no lie.
“Ziteng, is this the divine body you mentioned before?” the Sixth Ancestor calmly asked.
ii
It’s him!” Qin Ziteng swiftly acknowledged.
“It seems this person has grown somewhat influential. If left unchecked, he will likely become a major problem for the Qin family! Moreover…” At this point, the Sixth Ancestor glanced at the void not far away, continuing, “Moreover, he has even allied with Qin Hao, and is destined to oppose the Qin family in the future! You must make preparations ahead of time.”
The Su Chen of today could lead the destruction of the Spirit Race. Then the Su Chen of tomorrow might bring ruin to the Qin family! Right now, Su Chen was merely in the Quasi-Saint Realm, yet could make a saint king serve him as Master.
Given time, could he not also make a quasi-emperor or even a great emperor submit to him in the same manner?
No matter what, the Spirit Race were allies of the Qin family, related by marriage. With the Spirit Race’s destruction, the Qin family should have some reaction, no matter what.
“Rest assured, Sixth Ancestor. Ziteng understands, and will definitely not disappoint you!” Qin Ziteng respectfully said.
“Mm.” The Sixth Ancestor gave a slight nod.
“That Qin Hao has also grown powerful. If I’m not mistaken, the existence who transcended tribulation in the Spirit Race should be none other than him! I just wonder, how many heavenly tribulations has he overcome?”
Su Chen’s strength was no longer any secret to many. He had passed the Nirvana Tribulation many years prior, rumored to be ten Nirvana Tribulations.
Since it wasn’t him transcending tribulation at the Spirit Race, there was only one possibility remaining! The person crossing tribulation was Qin Hao!
From the time his Longevity Immortal Marrow had been extracted until now had only been a scant few years! Qin Hao’s growth speed was frightening. His threat was no less than Su Chen’s!
With the Spirit Race’s example before them, the Qin family absolutely did not wish to see two peerless prodigies standing shoulder to shoulder in the East Barrens.
Because by then, even with Qin Yuan present, it would still be hard for two fists to contend against four hands. It was uncertain they could avoid eventual defeat.
To prevent the Qin family from meeting the same fate as the Spirit Race, they could only choose to slay either Su Chen or Qin Hao first. Currently, it seemed Qin Hao was still the easier target.
After all, he did not have a saint-king-level servant.
“A mere Qin Hao can be crushed with a snap of my fingers! If he has the gall, tell him to come find me in Shadowless Hall anytime!”
Just then, a young man descended from the sky. He appeared quite peaceful, but each step he took resonated with the heavens and earth, containing an inexplicable rhythm.
His looks were peerless, sword-like brows flying into his temples. His appearance made many women jealous – it could be said he possessed unrivaled elegance, his entire body glittering with precious splendor.
The moment he appeared, he stole away all the world’s light. Countless gazes involuntarily gravitated towards him, as if he was the darling of the heavens and earth, the embodiment of all of creation’s grandeur in one body..
