Chapter 307: 307

"Elder, are you really going to make things difficult for us? That is the god of our Abyss Sect which was stolen by a demon beast. We originally wanted to retrieve it, but it was unexpectedly intercepted by Qin Jun. Is there no justice left?" Nangong Lietian shouted in a deep voice. Although he was scolding, Qin Jun couldn’t help but feel that there was a bit of grievance in his words.

If it were really as he said, Qin Jun would indeed have gone too far.

Qin Jun couldn’t help but be speechless; he didn’t feel ashamed—he simply didn’t believe that the Abyss Sect had never forcefully taken anything from anyone!

"If you say that the Divine Beast belongs to your Abyss Sect, then why could it form a soul contract with me?" Qin Jun asked coldly, his face full of irony.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Lietian’s face turned ashen, and Old Man Yi, who had been wavering, instantly understood that Nangong Lietian was lying.

"It seems you don’t know your place!"

Old Man Yi stared at Nangong Lietian and spoke in a heavy tone. As he spoke, he slowly raised the stone sword in his hand. As it lifted higher and higher, the pressure on Nangong Lietian and the elders increased.

Tsk tsk!

I don’t even need to lift a finger, and the enemy is about to kneel!

Qin Jun marveled at the feeling; it was truly exhilarating.

Boom—

Just then, Old Man Yi suddenly made his move. The seemingly powerless stone sword struck down towards the gigantic palace of the Abyss Sect. Nangong Lietian and the elders only felt an unstoppable force heading straight towards them, pushing them back. Soon after, the majestic and vast palace was split in two by Old Man Yi and, having lost its balance, fell toward the cliff sides, sending rocks tumbling down.

The entire valley seemed as if heaven and earth were splitting apart, with even the ground cracking open in vast fissures that continued along the valley for miles, vaguely revealing the magma underneath the crust.

Qin Jun looked at the back of Old Man Yi, his face filled with shock. A simple gesture from him carried such power, it was hard to imagine what realm he had reached.

Remembering what Old Man Yi had said about having the Holy Dynasty under his feet, it seemed he wasn’t boasting—he genuinely had the strength.

"Will you hand it over or not?"

Old Man Yi, holding the stone sword toward Nangong Lietian, asked while randomly picking his nose with his other hand. Although his behavior was crude, his imposing aura was explosive, giving Nangong Lietian a feeling of oppressive tingling on his scalp.

Knowing he was not a match, Nangong Lietian did not act rashly but instead gritted his teeth and said with resignation, "Even if I wanted to hand it over, I can’t."

"Why?" Old Man Yi asked, raising an eyebrow, as if the person in front of him was no relative of his.

"Although the Torch Dragon is the god of our Abyss Sect, it is not under our control but rather belongs to the God Temple," Nangong Lietian explained, making Qin Jun frown.

My goodness!

It feels like no matter how strong the force, there’s always a mountain behind it, one level suppressing another!

Qin Jun was troubled, but he could understand, as in every world all things are distributed in a pyramid.

The Southern Domain is vast, but it might not necessarily be so for this world. At least according to the various texts Qin Jun had studied, just the Southern Domain was far larger than Earth.

"Is that true?" Old Man Yi asked. As for the God Temple mentioned by Nangong Lietian, he wasn’t interested.

"If you don’t believe it, you can search. As long as you can find a Divine Beast, you won’t need to do anything; I’ll finish myself off!" Nangong Lietian spoke gravely, essentially throwing caution to the wind, no longer caring about anything else. Compared to face and the foundations of the Abyss Sect, he knew which was more important.

Upon hearing that, Qin Jun immediately said, "Let’s go and search then!"

Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong nodded, then flanked Qin Jun as they flew towards the palace, which had been split in two. The elders and demonic disciples of the Abyss Sect dared not block them and could only watch bitterly as the three of them left.

Qin Jun had a bit of an obsessive-compulsive disorder; without searching himself, he couldn’t rest easy.

But in his heart, he also somewhat believed Nangong Lietian. Initially, Nangong Lietian had no idea of Old Man Yi’s arrival, so there would have been no point in hiding the Torch Dragon in advance.

After Qin Jun and his companions entered the palace, Nangong Lietian couldn’t help but ask Old Man Yi, "Are you really my master’s master?"

Old Man Yi felt a bit awkward watching Nangong Lietian grit his teeth.

He coughed and said, "There’s no helping it. Qin Jun has such a big background, I must help him. From now on, you all are not allowed to give him trouble, you even have to help him!"

Nangong Lietian’s eyes widened, and he was so angry that he could no longer maintain his composure, cursing, "What kind of master are you, demanding that I help my enemy!"

As for the possibility that Old Man Yi wasn’t really his master’s master, he didn’t doubt it at all. No one in the current age knew his master’s name, and considering the purpose his master had for him establishing the Abyss Sect here, he naturally wouldn’t question Old Man Yi’s identity.

Moreover, with Old Man Yi’s strength, he didn’t need to deceive him.

"My disciple, you don’t understand, some people are destined to make a comeback," Old Man Yi said wistfully, a reminiscent look in his eyes.

A charlatan!

Nangong Lietian was so angry he didn’t know what to say.

But soon his emotions calmed down, and he began to ponder Old Man Yi’s words. Being at a level of cultivation like Old Man Yi’s, he couldn’t be foolish. Could it be his words were hinting at something?

Who is destined for a comeback?

When he thought about Qin Jun’s history, with legendary experts joining him from time to time, could it be hinting at the mysterious power behind Qin Jun?

The thought made Nangong Lietian grow apprehensive.

The Abyss Sect had faced countless trials and tribulations to reach its current state; they had tread on thin ice. Outsiders might see the Abyss Sect as overbearing and tyrannical, but who would remember the crises the Abyss Sect had once faced?

The higher one climbs, the more one cherishes everything at present, and Nangong Lietian was no exception.

"It looks like I need to reconsider my attitude towards Qin Jun."

Nangong Lietian thought, only then realizing his understanding of Qin Jun was still very superficial. Thinking deeper made him break out in a cold sweat.

One has to say, scaring oneself is always the most terrifying thing.

Old Man Yi was actually referring to the Wheel of Fate within Qin Jun, but Nangong Lietian thought it meant that behind Qin Jun stood a colossus beyond his imagination.

If Qin Jun knew what he was thinking, he would undoubtedly have laughed until he peed himself.

Before long, Qin Jun returned with a dark face, and the expressions of Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi were also grim. After all, they had come all the way to the Abyss Sect only for this outcome; their mood couldn’t possibly be good.

"Where is this God Temple you spoke of?" Qin Jun asked, coming up to Nangong Lietian.

Nangong Lietian replied with a wry smile, "I don’t know. I’ve only seen their envoys. Without the support of the God Temple, there would be no Abyss Sect today."

Most of the nine great lords of the Demonic Dao depended on the Holy Dynasty; without resources, it was nearly impossible to grow to their current level.

"When do these envoys from the God Temple appear?" Qin Jun asked unwillingly. Could he truly have no fate with the Torch Dragon?

"It’s unclear. Their appearances cannot be predicted. Sometimes they appear once a year, and sometimes even once a century," Nangong Lietian’s words sent Qin Jun’s heart sinking.

Old Man Yi said nonchalantly, "It’s just one Divine Beast, don’t mind it!"
