"Master, are you really going to make things difficult for us? That is the god of our Abyss Gate, stolen by a monster. We were supposed to retrieve it, but it was intercepted by Lord Qin. Is there no justice left?" Nangong Lietian shouted in a deep voice, though it sounded like a scolding, Lord Qin couldn't help but feel a bit aggrieved.
If what he said was true, Lord Qin did indeed go too far.
Lord Qin couldn't help but feel speechless. He wasn't ashamed at all. He didn't believe that the Abyss Gate hadn't engaged in acts of coercion and usurpation before!
"If the divine beast belongs to your Abyss Gate, then why was it able to form a soul contract with me?" Lord Qin asked coldly, his face filled with mockery.
As soon as these words were spoken, Nangong Lietian's face turned ashen. The previously hesitant Elder Yi immediately understood that Nangong Lietian was lying.
"It seems that you don't know how powerful I am!"
Elder Yi stared at Nangong Lietian and spoke in a deep voice. As he raised the stone sword in his hand higher and higher, the pressure on Nangong Lietian and the elders also increased.
Tsk tsk!
I don't even need to take action, and the enemy is about to kneel!
Lord Qin couldn't help but sigh. This feeling is truly exhilarating.
Boom!
At that moment, Elder Yi suddenly made a move. The seemingly powerless stone sword struck the huge palace of the Abyss Gate, and Nangong Lietian and the elders felt an irresistible force pushing them back. Then, the towering palace was split in half by Elder Yi, and it collapsed towards the mountain walls, causing continuous rockfalls.
The entire canyon seemed to be collapsing, and even the ground produced huge cracks, extending for thousands of meters along the canyon, with faint glimpses of the magma beneath.
Lord Qin looked at Elder Yi's back, his face filled with astonishment. Such power with just a single strike, it was hard to imagine what level of attainment he had reached.
Thinking back to what Elder Yi had said, even the Holy Dynasty had been trampled under his feet. It seemed that this guy wasn't just showing off; he really had the strength.
"Will you hand it over or not?"
Elder Yi pointed the stone sword at Nangong Lietian, picking his nose with his left hand as he asked. Although his behavior was vulgar, his imposing manner was explosive, giving Nangong Lietian an overwhelming sense of oppression, making his scalp tingle.
Nangong Lietian knew he was no match and didn't act rashly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I want to hand it over, I can't."
"Why?" Elder Yi raised an eyebrow, seemingly uninterested in the mention of the divine temple by Nangong Lietian.
"Although the Candle Dragon is the god of our Abyss Gate, it is not under our control, but is subordinate to the divine temple," Nangong Lietian explained, a statement that made Lord Qin furrow his brow.
My goodness!
Why does it feel like no matter how powerful a force is, there's always someone behind it, one level pressing down on another!
Lord Qin had a headache, but he could understand. In any world, all things are distributed in a pyramid structure.
The Southern Region is vast, but for this world, it might not be so. At least according to the knowledge Lord Qin had obtained from various documents, the Southern Region alone was much larger than Earth.
"Is it true?" Elder Yi asked, not interested in the divine temple mentioned by Nangong Lietian.
"I don't believe it. You can go and search. As long as you can find a divine beast, you don't need to take action; I will handle it myself!" Nangong Lietian said in a deep voice. Faced with the choice between saving face and the foundation of the Abyss Gate, he naturally knew which was more important.
Upon hearing this, Lord Qin immediately said, "Let's go, let's search!"
Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong nodded, then they protected Lord Qin as they flew towards the already split palace. The elders and disciples of the Abyss Gate dared not stop them, and could only watch them with gritted teeth.
Lord Qin had a compulsion. He wouldn't give up until he personally searched. However, deep down, he also somewhat believed Nangong Lietian. At the beginning, Nangong Lietian didn't know about Elder Yi's arrival, so there was no need for him to hide the little Candle Dragon in advance.
After Lord Qin and the others entered the palace, Nangong Lietian couldn't help but ask Elder Yi, "Are you really my master?"
Seeing Nangong Lietian's gnashing appearance, Elder Yi felt a bit embarrassed.
He cleared his throat and said, "I have no choice. Lord Qin has a significant background, and I must help him. In the future, you must not make things difficult for him, and you might even have to help him!"
Nangong Lietian widened his eyes, unable to maintain his composure, and angrily cursed, "What kind of master are you? You even want me to help my enemy!"
As for the possibility that Elder Yi was not his real master, he didn't question it at all. Because in this era, no one knew the name of his master, and his master's intention for him to establish the Abyss Gate here, he naturally wouldn't doubt Elder Yi's identity.
Moreover, with Elder Yi's strength, there was no need for him to deceive him.
"Disciple, you don't understand. Some people are destined to make a comeback," Elder Yi sighed, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
Charlatan!
Nangong Lietian was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
But soon, his emotions calmed down, and he began to ponder Elder Yi's words. With a cultivation level like Elder Yi's, he couldn't be foolish. Could it be that his words were hinting at something?
Who is destined to make a comeback?
Thinking back to Lord Qin's history of growth, there were occasionally peerless powerhouses who paid their respects to him. Could it be referring to the mysterious force behind Lord Qin?
Thinking of this, Nangong Lietian also began to feel apprehensive.
Since the establishment of the Abyss Gate, they had faced countless trials and tribulations. To outsiders, the Abyss Gate seemed overbearing and domineering, but who remembered the hardships the Abyss Gate had endured?
The higher one climbs, the more one cherishes everything before them, and Nangong Lietian was no exception.
"It seems that I have to reconsider my attitude towards Lord Qin."
Nangong Liètiān realized at this moment that his understanding of Qin Jun was still very limited. When he delved deeper into his thoughts, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
It must be said that scaring oneself is always the most terrifying.
The "Old Master Yi" actually referred to the wheel of fate within Qin Jun's body, but Nangong Liètiān mistakenly thought that there was a colossal entity behind Qin Jun that he couldn't imagine.
If Qin Jun knew his thoughts, he would definitely burst out laughing.
Before long, Qin Jun returned with a gloomy face, and Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi also looked grim. After traveling a long distance to the Abyss Gate, the result was disappointing, so how could their mood be good?
"Where is the temple you mentioned?" Qin Jun asked Nangong Liètiān.
Nangong Liètiān smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know. I've only seen their messengers. Without the support of the temple, the Abyss Gate wouldn't be where it is today."
Most of the nine demonic figures rely on the Holy Dynasty, and it's almost impossible to grow to this level without resources.
"When do the temple messengers appear?" Qin Jun asked unwillingly. Could it be that he really had no connection with the Candle Dragon?
"I'm not sure. Their appearances are unpredictable. Sometimes they appear once a year, and sometimes it's even once every hundred years," Nangong Liètiān's words gradually sank Qin Jun's heart.
Old Master Yi casually said, "It's just a divine beast, don't worry about it!" [End of this chapter]
