"How did Zhongqiu manage to provoke such a Primordial Soul Old Monster?"
Qin Zhan was somewhat alarmed, he had been cultivating in seclusion at the War Demon Peak, his mark activated, and it was through the connection of the mark, triggering power, that he manifested to learn that Wang Zhongqiu had encountered a life-and-death crisis, activating the mark he’d left behind, and the enemy he’d provoked was an old monster who had cultivated a Primordial Spirit?
Qin Zhan slightly bowed, "I am Qin Zhan, the Peak Master of War Demon Peak, and the master of this unworthy disciple. May I ask what grievances my disciple has with you?"
As Qin Zhan disclosed his identity and name, he appeared very humble. After all, the opponent was a strong being who had cultivated a Primordial Spirit, and those who could cultivate such were by no means ordinary beings—most were old monsters who had survived for many long years!
Su Changkong naturally hadn’t heard of the name Qin Zhan, but judging from the ability of the other party to manifest an incarnation through a mark, he was no ordinary Saint Warrior, most likely a Saint Warrior with a Divine Body!
A Saint Warrior with a Divine Body, placed in the Ancient Holy Country, would be enough to dominate a territory, reigning supreme! They are the elite among Saint Warriors!
Within the Ancient Demon Sect, Qin Zhan also belonged to the masters of one of the peaks, his strength and status were no ordinary matter.
The golden Primordial Spirit stood quietly in the void, surrounded by golden gases, his expression utterly calm, "Your Ancient Demon Sect disciple intruded into the distant small country of the Great Flame Empire, attacked the local ruling family, and broke the unspoken rules of the Ancient Holy Country. Naturally, I must make him pay the price. If everyone in the Ancient Holy Country were to follow suit, the distant small country and its billions of lives would suffer!"
Xia Yanlong, Xia Yanyi, and others were extremely grateful to this ’Blade God predecessor.’ The person had intervened not for the Xia family but for all nine nations of the human race, risking offending the colossal Ancient Demon Sect!
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhan slightly furrowed his brow, and turned to glance at Wang Zhongqiu.
Wang Zhongqiu was speechless, but also hung his head low, knowing that the fault was not his—it was a mistake to have provoked such a Primordial Soul Old Monster. They had caught him red-handed!
Qin Zhan immediately said, "I will surely discipline this disciple severely, forbidding him from stepping out of the Ancient Demon Sect for a hundred years! I hope you might spare him this once for my sake and for the sake of the Ancient Demon Sect. I would be immensely grateful!"
Helpless, Qin Zhan could only claim that he would punish Wang Zhongqiu, hoping the other party would let Wang Zhongqiu off the hook.
The main reason was that Qin Zhan was just an incarnation manifested by a mark, with barely any combat power, so he could only invoke the name of the Ancient Demon Sect.
"Show you respect? Show respect to the Ancient Demon Sect? No one can stop me from killing who I want to kill!"
Su Changkong sneered coldly. If he were to let go of Wang Zhongqiu and Hong Mantian now, he might lose the chance to kill them, and if he chose to retreat, the Ancient Demon Sect might think he feared them and even possibly attack.
Therefore, he had to be strong enough! Only by showing he didn’t fear the Ancient Demon Sect would they be cautious!
Qin Zhan was immensely annoyed; he was the Peak Master of War Demon Peak of the Ancient Demon Sect and had given enough respect, quite polite, yet the other party still didn’t want to stop?
Qin Zhan then sternly said, "Would you dare reveal your name?"
"Blade God."
Su Changkong calmly repeated the pseudonym.
"Blade God?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhan rapidly searched his mind for related information.
Qin Zhan’s pupils constricted, "Could it be... the same Blade God who challenged the Nine Great Ancient Sages?"
The name Blade God was held by many, but the most famous was undoubtedly the one known as ’Blade God’ who challenged the Ancient Sages!
Qin Zhan had come across some secrets of the ancient times in ancient texts.
In ancient times, at the beginning of the Ancient Holy Country, it was the era of the Nine Great Ancient Sages! The Nine Great Ancient Sages undoubtedly represented the pinnacle of Saint Warriors!
At the inception of the Ancient Holy Country, many exceptionally talented individuals rose up; among them, one rose swiftly, suppressing his contemporaries, vanquishing all foes. Skilled in Blade Technique and having defeated many Great Divine Power warriors, he was esteemed as the Blade God.
This Blade God, ambitious as the heavens, like other powerhouses, aimed to surpass the Nine Great Ancient Sages and become the strongest!
The Blade God’s fame was unmatched for a time, but he soon disappeared without a trace. According to snippets Qin Zhan had read in ancient texts, in pursuit of a stronger path, this Blade God went to challenge one of the Nine Great Ancient Sages.
As for the result, he naturally lost!
The strength of the Nine Great Ancient Sages was foundational for the Ancient Holy Country, leaving behind a legacy. Each of them was unfathomable, reaching the limits of what a Saint Warrior could achieve.
Yet daring to challenge the Nine Great Ancient Sages, and having an Ancient Sage accept the challenge, already proved the Blade God’s might—the Ancient Sage’s acceptance was an acknowledgment, considering him worthy of the challenge.
After challenging the Nine Great Ancient Sages, the Blade God then disappeared; according to records, he might have suffered a great setback and lost motivation, seeking seclusion for breakthroughs, while rumors also mentioned he succumbed to heavy injuries from the great battle and soon perished!
The man claiming to be the Blade God who had cultivated a Primordial Spirit, Qin Zhan naturally first thought of the ancient Blade God who had once challenged an Ancient Sage.
"Could it be... that he is the reincarnation of that Blade God? It’s said that the Nine Great Ancient Sages, along with some ancient powerful beings, all went back to ruins, their Primordial Spirits residing in heaven and earth, reincarnating... This is true!"
Qin Zhan’s gaze became unprecedentedly solemn.
Reincarnation, though ethereal, was indeed real, as within the Ancient Demon Sect there were known ’Reincarnators’ who had been reborn!
