Lord Qin's face was full of worry and contemplation. After expending so much effort and time, it was all in vain. Anyone in his position would feel terrible.
"For me, Xiao Zhulong is not just a divine beast." Lord Qin sighed, causing Nangong Lietian to look at him in surprise.
He could sense Lord Qin's disappointment. It seemed that there was some history between Zhulong and Lord Qin, which was the reason why Lord Qin risked everything to search for Zhulong in the Abyss Gate.
However, Nangong Lietian was indifferent. After all, it was just a divine beast, and the Abyss Gate had no right to control it. Lord Qin's worries had nothing to do with him.
"What's your name?" Old Master Yi asked Nangong Lietian, looking somewhat embarrassed. He still didn't know the name of his disciple, which was quite awkward.
Nangong Lietian didn't feel embarrassed. He respectfully replied, "My name is Nangong Lietian."
"Surname Nangong? Why not surname Yi?" Old Master Yi frowned.
"Why surname Yi? I only have a master-disciple relationship with my former master," Nangong Lietian asked in confusion.
Old Master Yi shrugged, "Because you look a lot like the young him."
As these words were spoken, Nangong Lietian felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Memories from thousands of years ago flooded his mind like a tide.
No wonder Yi Lie treated him so well, generously imparting knowledge upon their first meeting. It all made sense now...
Lord Qin didn't want to see them reminisce any further and asked directly, "Can you tell me all the information you know about the temple?"
Interrupted by him, Nangong Lietian shook his head and said, "I only know the name of the temple. Even if I knew all the information about the temple, why should I tell you? Because of you, the Abyss Gate's plans have been disrupted multiple times, and many of our followers have been lost, even..."
At this point, he gestured towards the towering palace that had been split in half.
Lord Qin realized that the Abyss Gate had suffered enough, and his request was indeed unreasonable.
Moreover, he had a feeling that Nangong Lietian was not lying. It was just a gut feeling. Nangong Lietian exuded an air of indifference and arrogance, and such people were too proud to lie.
Even if Nangong Lietian was lying, Lord Qin had no way to force him. He couldn't let Old Master Yi pressure Nangong Lietian. Their relationship was not that close, and excessive coercion would only lead to misunderstandings between Old Master Yi and Nangong Lietian.
"Never mind, let's go!" Lord Qin shook his head. He didn't expect to use the Abyss Gate's teleportation gate to return, as he had already suffered a loss once.
Accompanied by Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi, he flew towards the sky at the top of the canyon, with Old Master Yi following closely behind.
"Master, where are you going?" Nangong Lietian hurriedly stopped Old Master Yi, but to his surprise, Old Master Yi pushed him away and grumbled, "Of course, I'm following Lord Qin. This kid is a great fortune bearer, and it's bound to be exciting to follow him!"
A great fortune bearer?
Nangong Lietian stood still, looking at Lord Qin's departing figure, deep in thought.
How easy it was to understand the concept of fortune. But when he looked back at the Abyss Gate, he felt uneasy.
What was this?
The enemy had caused a commotion and left, and they couldn't seek justice for their losses.
There was nothing more painful than this.
"Master, are we just going to endure this?" a senior elder couldn't help but ask. Their losses this time were immense. Even An Yansha, one of the top five powerhouses, had died, along with the disciples slaughtered by Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong, equivalent to losing a wing.
"What else can we do?" Nangong Lietian glared at him and asked.
The elder fell silent. Indeed, besides enduring, what else could they do?
Rush up and sacrifice the Abyss Gate?
"Today's events are a lesson. Don't think that the Abyss Gate can act recklessly. There are beings stronger than us." Nangong Lietian scanned everyone and spoke in a kingly and steady manner, calming the angry hearts of the people. It had to be said that Nangong Lietian possessed the qualities of a leader, especially in such critical moments. He knew how to comfort the followers.
Since its establishment, the Abyss Gate had only had him as its leader for thousands of years. It was evident that the strength of the Abyss Gate was largely due to his undeniable contributions.
...
After flying out of the canyon where the Abyss Gate was located, Lord Qin and his companions landed on the clouds formed by Lei Zhenzi. Lord Qin looked at Old Master Yi and asked, "So, are you really that heartless? He is your disciple after all!"
Even if the debt of saving a life was great, was it necessary to go to such lengths?
So Lord Qin was very puzzled. Could it be that Old Master Yi really had a heart of stone?
"He's just a disciple. I had hundreds of disciples back then, and Yi Lie was just average," Old Master Yi said nonchalantly, causing Lord Qin to almost burst into laughter, and even Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi couldn't help but laugh.
If Nangong Lietian heard this, he would definitely be speechless.
Damn, life really is all about acting!
You acted so low-key before, but it turns out that he didn't hold a high position in your heart...
Lord Qin laughed until his stomach hurt. No wonder Old Master Yi was so indifferent to the emotions of his disciple.
"Ding! Completed the side quest - Withdraw from the Abyss Gate! Obtained one chance to summon a divine beast!"
The system prompt interrupted Lord Qin's laughter. Should he keep this divine beast summoning opportunity or use it?
"Your Highness, where should we go next?" Lei Zhenzi couldn't help but ask.
Lord Qin thought for a moment and replied, "Let's fly in any direction and find a city first."
Setting aside their strength, Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong didn't look like righteous individuals, and Old Master Yi was even more so. As for himself, he could reveal his demonic aura without fear of attracting pursuit from demonic cultivators.
"Old Master Yi, do you know about the Southern Domain Holy Court?" Lord Qin temporarily suppressed the thought of summoning and asked Old Master Yi with a smile.
Whether it's the ancient souls encountered in the Canglan Kingdom or the immortal Ji in the Death Valley, it seems to be related to the Southern Holy Court.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard this name, the old man's face became unnatural.
"The Southern Holy Court, that is a very ancient legend." The old man looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, as if he were a poet reminiscing about his hometown.
"Please continue!" Qin Jun wanted to strangle the old man, and Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi also looked curiously at the old man. Few people would not be interested in such ancient secrets.
"It is said that a long time ago, there were no kingdoms, no dynasties, and the Southern region was controlled by the Holy Court. The human race was revered by all races, and at that time, the human race was not divided into righteous and demonic paths..."
The old man began to tell the story, and Qin Jun couldn't help but feel excited. The human race was revered by all races.
Nowadays, there are no longer hundreds of races in the Southern region, and the ancient powerful races are almost extinct. Even the once dominant demon race is now fragmented, and the demon beasts have become pets or prey of the human race.
Too much ease has made the human race in the Southern region increasingly lax and weak.
"I was born at the time of the decline of the Holy Court..." At this point, the old man couldn't help but tremble, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes.
"Until the appearance of the immortals, they claimed to act on behalf of the heavens and slaughtered the Holy Court..."
When it comes to the summoning of the demonic path, should it be a demon, an immortal, or a devil?
