When the King of Qinghu left, the hustle and bustle of the entire Bianhai City came to a sudden halt.
The howling wind blew fiercely, and the distant cultivators were still suspended in the air, unable to regain their composure. Whether it was the King of Qinghu, Yang Jian, or Tie Qingtian, the aura they emitted sent shivers down their spines.
The Supreme Immortal of Taiyi, terrifying indeed!
Tie Qingtian quickly flew to Qin Jun's side, knelt down excitedly, and kowtowed heavily to Qin Jun, leaving Tang Sanzang and the others exchanging glances.
"Master! It's been ten thousand years! I finally waited for you!" Tie Qingtian pressed his head against the ruins, his tone filled with surprise and excitement.
Thinking back to the time ten thousand years ago, even though it was amidst the invasion of the demon army, it still made him very happy.
At that time, it was Qin Jun who truly set him on the path of cultivation.
Qin Jun was also the first person to make him feel secure, as if with Qin Jun around, he had nothing to fear even if the sky fell.
However, after that great battle, Qin Jun disappeared, and despite searching for thousands of years, Tie Qingtian eventually gave up and returned to Bianhai City to guard their former home.
"Get up already, you're over ten thousand years old, yet you still act like a child." Qin Jun helped Tie Qingtian up with a touch of exasperation, feeling deeply moved in his heart.
After ten thousand years, Tie Qingtian had changed, but his attitude towards Qin Jun remained the same.
Even Qin Jun couldn't help but be emotionally touched.
"Hey, is he your disciple? And he waited for you for ten thousand years?" Liu Ruolai couldn't help but speak up, her face filled with a strange expression, and the others were the same.
Yang Jian, who flew over, frowned even more. They could see at a glance Qin Jun's physical age, which was less than twenty years old. How could he have lived for over ten thousand years?
Qin Jun rolled his eyes and said, "None of your business!"
He didn't want to talk much about this matter, keeping it mysterious was best.
Liu Ruolai was so angry that she revealed her little tiger teeth. She had thought Qin Jun was dead and was heartbroken, but she didn't expect this guy to have a heart of stone!
"I know you all have a lot of questions, you'll understand in the future. Qingtian, arrange a place to stay!" Qin Jun smiled at everyone, he had so much to ask Tie Qingtian.
Over the past ten thousand years, were the Great Qin Tiger Army, the Qianzhen Divine Army, and the Little White Dragon still there? Were the plans he had arranged still in progress?
Although they were puzzled, they didn't dare to ask directly, so they followed Tie Qingtian away from the ruins.
"How is Shouxin?" Qin Jun walked side by side with Tie Qingtian, bathed in moonlight, feeling very cheerful.
Although he had been a powerful figure in the world ten thousand years ago, he still preferred the world of ten thousand years later.
Because here were people who loved him, people he loved, and everything he had created.
"My sister..." Tie Qingtian hesitated, his face becoming somewhat grim.
Qin Jun didn't hear an immediate answer, and his eyebrows furrowed even more tightly.
Could it be that the girl who had saved him had met with an accident?
Shouxin's talent was not inferior to Tie Qingtian's. If nothing unexpected happened, Shouxin's achievements should not be lower than Tie Qingtian's. Both of their talents were among the top geniuses Qin Jun had ever seen.
"She passed away seven thousand years ago. If I hadn't collected elixirs, she probably wouldn't have lasted even a thousand years." Tie Qingtian sighed. After Shouxin's death, he was truly alone.
Qin Jun's brow furrowed even more tightly. For Tie Qingtian, it had been ten thousand years, but for Qin Jun, it was just a very short time. He had just seen Shouxin cheering for him the moment before, and now she was dead?
Qin Jun felt somewhat dazed. After all, Shouxin could be considered half of his disciple, and he also knew the affection the girl had for him.
So upon hearing the news of Shouxin's passing, Qin Jun couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion.
"Because you disappeared, my sister became melancholic, and her enthusiasm for cultivation decreased significantly, especially after searching for two thousand years without any news of you, she lost the will to live." Tie Qingtian sighed. The time when Qin Jun taught them cultivation had long gone.
Qin Jun remained silent, not responding.
Yang Jian and the others who were following behind were shocked to hear this, could it be that Qin Jun had really lived for over ten thousand years?
Liu Ruolai's eyes were filled with tears, after all, she was a girl, emotional, and upon hearing Shouxin's fate, she couldn't help but shed tears.
If it were her, could she have pursued Qin Jun for two thousand years?
Tears flowed uncontrollably, making her constantly wipe them away, not even understanding why she felt like crying.
Yang Jian and the others were immersed in the conversation between Qin Jun and Tie Qingtian, and didn't notice Liu Ruolai's abnormality.
Qin Jun's mood was somewhat heavy, never expecting that he was so important to Shouxin. Looking at Tie Qingtian, who had red-rimmed eyes beside him, Qin Jun seemed to have some understanding.
Any promise or emotion, after being soaked for ten thousand years, will undergo a qualitative change.
Silence along the way.
This night is destined to make many people toss and turn.
...
Late at night.
The candlelight flickered in the room, and Qin Jun and Tie Qingtian sat at the table, speaking in low voices. Most of the time, it was Tie Qingtian who was talking, and Qin Jun was listening.
"The old subordinates of the master have already infiltrated the major forces in the Eastern Flame Domain, including the Eastern Family. Their core members have mysterious whereabouts, and even I cannot accurately grasp their movements. But one thing is certain, they all use 'Qin' as a code, blending in the Eastern Flame Domain and even the surrounding domains."
Qin Jun listened attentively and couldn't help but ask, "What is the scale of this force now?"
He wondered whether the former Meng Tian, Wang Jian, Li Si, and Ming Jianfeng were still alive.
"It's hard to estimate, but one thing is certain, it's not difficult for them to overthrow the rule of the Eastern Flame Arrogance, but they have been waiting."
Tie Qingtian suppressed his excitement and said, staring at Qin Jun with burning eyes, as if he was looking at a handsome face in a dream.
Qin Jun took a deep breath, understanding that the person they were waiting for was him.
"Can you help me contact them?" Qin Jun asked in a deep voice.
Damn it!
I want to uproot the Eastern Flame Domain!
Qin Jun was so excited, it seemed that his initial layout was very successful.
Before leaving, he left behind a lot of resources, spirit stones, spiritual energy pills, martial arts, spells, and so on, taking a big gamble. Sure enough, Meng Tian and the others did not disappoint him.
"No... to avoid attracting the attention of the Eastern Flame Arrogance, I have distanced myself from them. It's hard to contact them even once in a hundred years," Tie Qingtian shook his head.
One thing he didn't say was that mentioning the word 'Qin' among the top forces in the Eastern Flame Domain would definitely make many big shots change their expressions drastically.
Qin Jun was somewhat disappointed, so he changed the subject and continued to ask, "What about Little White Dragon?"
He was not in a hurry to contact this force. He would think of a way after he returned to the Southern Domain and revitalized his forces.
"Uncle Dragon is not in the Eastern Flame Domain," Tie Qingtian smiled helplessly. When it came to Little White Dragon, he didn't know what to say. Nowadays, he had the best relationship with Little White Dragon, but for the sake of completing the task given by Qin Jun, Little White Dragon came and went mysteriously, occasionally coming to him to provide various resources.
"Where is he?" Qin Jun frowned and asked.
Damn it!
Could it be that I can't even contact Little White Dragon?
"I'm not sure, but the master can go to the Southern Sea to find the Black Dragon King. He is Uncle Dragon's disciple," Tie Qingtian hurriedly replied. He could see that Qin Jun was somewhat impatient, afraid of provoking him.
