Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Nangong Lietian [Fourth update]

"Ah—"

"Who the hell is this guy? He’s so powerful!"

"He’s Lei Zhenzi! The number one strongest under Qin Emperor, Lei Zhenzi! The one who defeated Elder An, Lei Zhenzi!"

"Lei Zhenzi? Has Qin Emperor charged into our Demonic Dao? Impossible!"

The demonic cultivators were sent flying one after another. Due to reinforcements arriving from behind, many collided with one another, creating utter chaos.

Lei Zhenzi’s speed was incredible, and with Yuan Hong wrapping everyone in demon power, anyone they encountered was slammed to death.

As they continued to advance, Qin Jun’s sense of pressure grew ever stronger, but he wasn’t afraid; he was more excited than anything.

"Ding! Side quest triggered—Escape the Abyss Sect with your life! Quest details: The host has entered the inner sanctum of the Abyss Sect and angered them. If you escape alive, you will get a chance to summon God and Demon!"

The system notification suddenly chimed, and Qin Jun’s lips curved upward.

Run away?

I want to walk out in broad daylight!

Qin Jun sneered. If he didn’t rescue the little Torch Dragon today, he really wouldn’t leave!

Boom!

Lei Zhenzi shattered a stone pillar that lay across the gorge. At that moment, Qin Jun finally saw the Abyss Sect—an immense palace at least a thousand feet tall, located in the open space of the valley ahead, covering several square miles. It was hard to imagine such a massive space hidden within the gloomy gorge.

Countless demonic cultivators floated in front of the palace. A cursory scan revealed at least a hundred thousand of them.

Fortunately, not all of them were of the Transforming Void Realm like the advance troops; most floating in front of the palace were only of Ascending Mortal Realm cultivation.

Qin Jun narrowed his eyes and quickly spotted a familiar face, the leader of the elders who had attacked the royal capital, An Yansha.

At the moment, he was glaring at Qin Jun with eyes full of resentful hatred. Around him stood more than a dozen individuals whose auras were similar to his, probably fellow elders of the Abyss Sect.

"Qin Jun, you actually dared to come knocking on our door!"

An Yansha gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill Qin Jun with his gaze.

"Give me back my Abyssal Bracelet!"

Qin Jun chuckled. This defeated minion still didn’t know when to be afraid. So, his copper bracelet was called the Abyssal Bracelet. Although Qin Jun had not yet made it recognize him as its master, he could keep it. This treasure was incredibly powerful, even subduing Red Boy without a chance to fight back.

Actually, An Yansha himself was extremely powerful, having reached the first tier of Golden Immortal Realm, one of the top powerhouses in the Southern Domain. Within the Abyss Sect, he had few enemies. By himself, he could sweep through the entire ownerless lands, but unfortunately for him, he had encountered Lei Zhenzi.

"Where is my Divine Beast? If you do not return it, none of you will leave here alive today!"

Qin Jun declared coldly, while Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong simultaneously erupted with a heaven-shocking aura, making the tens of thousands of Abyss Sect demonic cultivators feel as if they were bearing the weight of ten thousand pounds, uncontrollably falling downwards. An Yansha and the other elders were even more terrified. The higher their realm, the more acutely they sensed the horror emitted by Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong. Especially Yuan Hong, who was like a ferocious demon, sending chills down their spines.

Old Man Yi was stroking his chin, eyeing the Abyss Sect’s palace with an expression full of contemplation.

"Why does this palace look so familiar?"

Old Man Yi murmured to himself, unfazed by the show of force from the Abyss Sect. Perhaps to him, it wasn’t worth mentioning.

Just then, an aura far stronger than An Yansha’s emanated from inside the Abyss Sect’s palace, causing even Lei Zhenzi to show concern, while Yuan Hong narrowed his eyes.

"Qin Jun, remember to leave a line of retreat in life, don’t be too excessive."

A voice rang out, calm and not deafening, but its very calmness exerted an irresistible pressure.

A tall man in a red robe with silver hair and two horns emerged slowly from the palace gates. A bone crown adorned his forehead, and although his face was handsome, his red robe with a fierce red scorpion and his whole bearing exuded a cold demeanor that seemed to look down on the world.

He was the Sect Master of the Abyss Sect, Nangong Lietian, a peak figure in the entire Demonic Dao hierarchy. Even among the Sacred Empire, very few could match him.

Old Man Yi’s eyes widened upon seeing Nangong Lietian, and he even rubbed them as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

"Are you the Sect Master of the Abyss Sect?" Qin Jun called out to Nangong Lietian, while Yuan Hong’s expression remained icy, clearly not afraid. This was an important reason why Qin Jun was still unflustered.

Yuan Hong was a ninth-tier Golden Immortal. At least what lay above the Golden Immortal Realm, Qin Jun did not yet know.

He didn’t believe that Nangong Lietian could exceed the Golden Immortal Realm. If Yuan Hong felt threatened, he would have warned him in advance.

"Indeed," Nangong Lietian responded indifferently.

The tens of thousands of Abyss Sect demonic cultivators watched nervously. It was unthinkable to them that just four individuals could have put the Abyss Sect on alert before.

"Return the Divine Beast to me, and I can let bygones be bygones with your Abyss Sect," Qin Jun said with a smile. As for what he really thought, no one could guess.

"How can we hand over the god our Abyss Sect has worshipped for generations to you!" Nangong Lietian’s face slightly darkened, his aura starting to climb steadily, making the whole gorge tremble.

It seemed a battle was inevitable!

Qin Jun sighed, unable to fathom why they couldn’t just resolve the situation peacefully.

He made eye contact with Yuan Hong, signaling him to prepare for battle.

Although Lei Zhenzi could easily handle An Yansha, it wasn’t certain he could defeat Nangong Lietian, so it was best to send the strongest, Yuan Hong.

"What is your relationship with Yi Lie?"

At this critical juncture, Old Man Yi suddenly stepped forward and asked Nangong Lietian. Upon hearing this, Nangong Lietian’s face changed instantly, causing Qin Jun to raise an eyebrow.

Damn!

Could it be that Old Man Yi is related to the Sect Master of the Abyss Sect?

The thought alone made Qin Jun want to turn tail and leave.

"Who are you?" Nangong Lietian asked sternly, his eyes even turning blood-red as a murderous aura filled the gorge.

Seeing this, Qin Jun breathed a sigh of relief. If there was a murderous intent, they were not friends.

Old Man Yi flickered, suddenly moving hundreds of meters to appear before Nangong Lietian, reaching out his right hand so swiftly that Nangong Lietian instinctively put up a defense. However, Old Man Yi grabbed his chest piece first.

"You little shithead, if I ask you something, you answer me straight!" Old Man Yi cursed.

The surrounding Abyss Sect elders and the tens of thousands of demonic cultivators were instantly petrified, their mouths agape, faces filled with disbelief.

Beading with cold sweat, Nangong Lietian trembled slightly. Others might not sense it, but he felt a murderous intention coming from Old Man Yi, as if a single "no" would be the end of him.

Just who is this man?

Nangong Lietian roared inwardly. Despite reigning over the Southern Domain for thousands of years, this was the first time he encountered such a being.

Perhaps only the Sacred Emperor could match him.

"What exactly is your relationship with Yi Lie!" Old Man Yi stared into Nangong Lietian’s eyes, his words pressing like he was on the brink of insanity.
