At the exit of the God Territory Ceremony, the five figures gradually became clearer. The black-robed young man in the front suddenly became the focus of the eight regions.
"He is Qin Shi?
Only at the Ninth Heaven Stage? "
Many Elders from the eight regions frowned. Obviously, it was different from what they had imagined.
If the Nine Heavens Realm was placed in a force that wasn't part of the eight regions, they could be considered as elites. However, in the eight regions where experts gathered, there was no lack of geniuses. The Nine Heavens Realm was still considered inferior.
"Is he the one who killed Chen Gan and slaughtered the entire Chaotic Lands?
Impossible! "
However, facing these doubts, Taoist Jing Cai stroked his beard and smiled. "If you were in the Chaotic Lands a year ago and saw how he used the Fourth Heaven Stage to shock the entire Chaotic Lands, perhaps you wouldn't doubt him because he is only at the Ninth Heaven Stage."
"What?"
Hearing this, many Elders were shocked. If the Ninth Heaven Stage was low level in their eyes, then reaching the Ninth Heaven Stage from the Fourth Heaven Stage in a year was a talent that even they had to admire.
"This kid, no matter where he goes, he won't be peaceful." Jing Cai smiled bitterly and looked at Kong Hyun-hui, who was standing next to Qin Shi.
She was the one he wanted to protect.
"Little bastard!
I want you dead! "
However, suddenly, a scream came from the direction of the Chaotic Lands. Chu Deyu was the first to jump up. Ignoring everyone's shocked gazes, he reached out his hand to grab Qin Shi's chest.
Qin Shi slightly frowned. Although he had expected that the Chaotic Lands wouldn't give up so easily, he was a little surprised that Chu Deyu dared to attack him so openly.
"Old man, don't you think you have no respect for the Sword Sect?"
In the next second, under the leadership of Jian Qing, dozens of Sword Sect Elders stood up.
Boom!
Jian Qing swung his sword. A sword light shot out for more than a hundred miles, leaving a huge ravine in front of the God Territory Ceremony. That ravine eventually split into a canyon and pushed Chu Deyu back.
"Jian Qing!" Chu Deyu's old eyes darkened. "You are determined to go against the Chaotic Lands, aren't you?"
"He's a disciple of my Sword Sect. You revealed your killing intent towards him as soon as you arrived. Isn't it a little inappropriate to ask me these questions now?" Jian Qing smiled faintly. He held the sword in his hand horizontally before his chest, and he didn't have the slightest intention of backing down.
"You …!"
Chu Deyu glared. In terms of cultivation, he was still inferior to Jian Qing, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
"He killed a thousand of my disciples. I have to bring him back to the Chaos Lands and make him pay," said Chu Deyu, gritting his teeth.
"Explanation?"
Jian Qing sneered, "Elder Chu, isn't your reasoning a little too far-fetched? The rules of the Sacred Realm Ceremony were set by the ancestors of the eight regions. Did my sect's disciples break the rules in any way?
On the other hand, don't you think it's inappropriate for you to do this? "
Chu Deyu was immediately rendered speechless by the few sentences of the rules.
That's right, in the God Realm Ritual, the so-called rules meant that there were no rules. Anything you did was reasonable. Even if Qin Shi slaughtered a thousand disciples from the Chaotic Realm, it was still reasonable.
Then, Jian Qing's expression suddenly became ruthless. The anger he had been suppressing in his chest burst out. "Over the years, many of my Sword Sect's disciples have died at your hands during the God Realm Sacrificial Ceremony, haven't they?
If you want an explanation, shouldn't you give me an explanation for Liu Yun's death first? "
Hearing this, the elders of the other eight regions looked at each other.
"Sigh, if we talk about the cruelty and helplessness of the God Realm Ceremony, there shouldn't be many people who hate it more than Jian Qing. Sword Sect's number one genius disciple, Liu Yun, was his first disciple. Thirty years ago, during the God Realm Ceremony, Liu Yun was unfortunately killed by the Chaotic Realm. Jian Qing was furious at that time and wanted to rush to the Chaotic Realm to demand an explanation, but in the end, he was suppressed by the Sword Sect's Sect Master. This was all because of the rules. Now that Chu Deyu is enraged because of the Chaotic Realm's disciples being killed, Jian Qing will definitely not give him the chance."
Jian Qing proudly stood in the clouds, firmly shielding Qin Shi behind him. One of the disciples behind Jian Qing turned around and smiled. He said to Qin Shi, "Brat, you're pretty good. This time, you've really boosted the morale of our Sword Sect. Hide behind us later, no one will be able to hurt you."
"Thank you, Elder."
Qin Shi's heart warmed. He had offended the Chaos Lands, but the Sword Sect was still protecting him. It was a rare thing.
Unexpectedly, the disciple curled his lips. "Alright, don't be so polite. I haven't settled what happened a year ago with you. I don't want you to die in the hands of the Chaos Lands. When we get back to the Sword Sect, I'll talk to you."
"Eh, huh?"
Qin Shi was surprised. He blinked and felt that the disciple looked familiar. Then, he patted his head as if he had a sudden realization. "It's you?"
"Hmph, alright. You brat, just remember me. We'll settle the score later."
The disciple laughed straightforwardly. Then, he ignored Qin Shi and looked at the Chaotic Realm's side with a grave expression.
Although Jian Qing and the disciple's tone was calm, the Chaos Lands was one of the eight regions. This was not a joke.
Qin Shi's gaze also changed from behind. He stared at the youth and felt that it was rather funny. Fate often played tricks on people like this. The disciple he had just chatted with was Feather Yue, who the Sword Sect had sent to track him before he entered the Chaotic Lands.
Back then, he had used Yu Yue to stop the Chaos Lands from chasing him.
But he hadn't thought that Yu Yue, who had only been at the Eight Sky Realm a year ago, would be at the top of the Sky Realm. Looking at the token hanging on her chest, she should be the Sword Sect's Law Enforcement Elder.
The two sides were in a deadlock. For a time, no one was able to do anything to the other. Chu Deyu knew that he was in the wrong during the argument earlier. For a time, he did not say anything more. He only viciously glared at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi was at ease. If he dared to kill Chen Gan and the other disciples of the Chaos Lands, then he was prepared to fight against the Chaos Lands.
Moreover, he had done it a year ago, and he would do it again now. He had never been afraid.
"This time, these two regions are really going to clash …" Wang Chong sighed.
"Of course. Liu Yun's death was a great loss to the Sword Sect. It was only because of the rules of the God Realm Sacrifice that they didn't erupt. Right now, Qin Shi's courage and potential are above Liu Yun's. If he is nurtured in the future, he might cause a huge commotion in the eight regions. The Sword Sect won't give up on such a genius so easily."
"But the Chaos Lands are not easy to deal with. In the past few years, the Chaos Lands' momentum has been increasing. The three giants of the Chaos Lands are now second only to the Region Masters. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Sword Sect to protect Qin Shi."
"The eight regions are going to change." Countless disciples sighed.
However, no one made a move. They were all waiting to see. It was better not to cause trouble for themselves in a confrontation between two regions.
"Elder Ying Wu, what should we do?
Xue Xin is also in there. "An elder of the Blue Snow Sect stood beside Ying Wu.
Ying Wu frowned. She had watched Xue Xin grow up, so she knew Xue Xin better than most people. With Xue Xin's personality and her love for Qin Shi, if Qin Shi died in the hands of the Chaos Lands, it would be a big problem.
"Let's watch first. If possible, try to save that kid's life."
"Yes!"
The Desolate Region's side did the same. Jing Cai signaled a few Desolate Region disciples, "At the critical moment, no matter the cost, we must save that kid's life."
"Master, this … is not good. If we offend the Chaos Lands for a disciple of the Sword Sect, the Region Master will definitely punish us. Plus, it's not worth it."
Jing Cai shook his head decisively. "I will explain this to the leader of the area. Don't underestimate this little guy. If we can save his life today, he will bring us a reward that none of you can imagine. Compared to the Chaotic Lands, I think he is a bigger threat."
"Huh?"
Many disciples of the Wasteland were stunned, and it was very difficult for them to understand why Jing Cai would be so confident in Qin Shi. But they only came to a sudden understanding a few years later, and they knew exactly how correct their choice was.
Jing Cai's order, and the Desolate Region disciples no longer disobeyed.
One by one, they were all prepared.
"Kid, I haven't seen you for a year. Your growth is really amazing. But this kind of ruthlessness won't work in the Human World. Hurry and return to the Chaos Lands with me. Wait for your punishment."
Suddenly, a ferocious oppressive feeling rose into the sky, causing everyone to widen their eyes. That power was akin to heavenly fire falling from the sky, forcefully pressuring towards Qin Shi.
"It's Shi Feng!
He's going to attack! "
Everyone from the Eight Regions held their breath. When they found the source of that power, their eyes were filled with horror.
Shi Feng suddenly stood up. Like a ghost, he appeared not far away from Qin Shi. Without giving Qin Shi a chance to react, he grabbed at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi was shocked. He wanted to struggle again, but it was too late. Compared to the Perfected Domain Realm, he was still too weak.
"Shi Tou!"
"Qin Shi!" Qin Xue Xin and the other three were shocked.
Bang!
However, at this moment, a shocking sword light overflowed and slashed down from the Nine Serenities. It cut the spiritual line connecting Shi Feng to Qin Shi's chest.
"If you want to hurt him, you have to ask for my permission first!"
Since Shi Feng had attacked, Jian Qing didn't dare to be careless. Shi Feng's strength was one of the best among the Eight Regions' Elders. Jian Qing blocked Qin Shi's path and looked at Shi Feng coldly.
Shi Feng smiled faintly, appearing rather natural.
"Kid, you've made good progress in the past hundred years. But you still have a long way to go if you want to hurt me."
After Shi Feng finished speaking, his expression suddenly turned sinister. Chen Gan's death had infuriated him. He exerted force with his palm against his hipbone, and a wave of heat abruptly surged towards Jian Qing like a raging tide.
