A deep voice that shook the mountains and rivers resounded across the chasm. The tens of thousands of people present could hear it clearly. The power was so ferocious that even the aura of the perfected Yuanhao Domain Realm dissipated a lot when the voice was heard.
Countless people were shocked as they stared at the heavenly moat. Among them, Kong Xianhui was the most shocked. The voice reverberating in her ears struck the weakest spot in her heart. Her almond-shaped eyes instantly turned moist as she covered her mouth with her jade-like hands. She held back her tears as she stared at the heavenly moat in disbelief. An ancient figure slowly walked out.
The old man wore a grey robe. He had white hair and a youthful face. He always had a faint smile on his face. He gave people a peaceful feeling.
Boom!
He waved his hand and a layer of fire rose like the rising sun. With a bang, it easily broke Yuanhao's light beam.
"Grandpa Jing?"
Kong Xianhui choked and spat out two words from her throat.
The old man smiled faintly and floated in front of Kong Hyun-hui. He rubbed Kong Hyun-hui's hair like an elder caring for a junior. "Little girl, I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown taller and prettier."
"Old Taoist Jing Cai!"
Facing the old man, Yuanhao's three protectors' expressions changed. They tensed up and looked unprecedentedly serious.
Qin Shi and the other disciples were surprised. Ba Huang laughed inexplicably. "Hehe, I didn't expect this old man to come out. Looks like things are going to change."
"Ba Huang, do you know him?" asked Qin Shi.
Ba Huang's voice was wild and unrestrained. Everyone heard him clearly. "Of course. This old man has a great background. He is the Grand Elder of the Cabinet of Waste. His position in Waste is no lower than Yuanhao's three protectors in the Chaotic Regions. He has supported three generations of rulers of Waste. His position in the eight regions is very high."
"Is that so?"
Many disciples were shocked. Qin Shi clicked his tongue and looked at Old Taoist Jing Cai. The Grand Elder of the Cabinet of Waste?
This old fellow's head was actually so big?
When Old Taoist Jing Cai heard Ba Huang's voice, he was slightly stunned. He turned around and shook his head with a smile, "Hehe, so it's Ba Huang. I haven't seen you for hundreds of years, but your character is still the same. You don't know how to restrain yourself at all."
"Hehe, I'm just like this, why would I need to restrain myself?
Besides, it's those old fellows who have gone too far. I have to protect my master. "Ba Huang laughed heartily at Old Taoist Jing Cai, but there was still a hint of admiration in his words.
Old Taoist Jing Cai smiled and shook his head. His clear eyes finally fell on Qin Shi. He nodded and said, "Young man, you are not bad. To be able to gain the favor of the Eight Desolates at such a young age, your future achievements will be limitless."
"You flatter me, Senior."
Qin Shi was very polite to Old Daoist Jing Cai.
Old Daoist Jing Cai nodded with satisfaction. He didn't say anything else. Yuan Hao's face gradually turned pale. Finally, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "Hehe, Old Taoist Jing Cai, you came to the Chaotic Lands like this. Aren't you stretching your arm a little too far?"
Jing Cai's face also darkened. He didn't give Yuan Hao any face. "I don't want to, but if I don't do something, I'm afraid my little princess will die in your Chaotic Lands."
"Little princess?"
Hearing that, Qin Shi was surprised. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Kong Hyun-hui in fear. Kong Hyun-hui was the little princess of Waste?
Did that mean?
Kong Hyun-hui was the daughter of the Master of Waste's Territory?
Thinking of that, Qin Shi's throat became dry.
"You just found out?" Ba Huang shrugged from the side in annoyance.
The corners of Qin Shi's mouth twitched. He just found out.
Ba Huang shook his head. When Kong Hyun-hui used the Overlapping Mountains in the Living Hollow Cave, he had already seen through her identity. "Do you think anyone can use the Overlapping Mountains?
Don't underestimate the fact that it is only a rank eight martial art in the hands of this little girl. In fact, it is a true martial art of the Wasteland. Only the next Wasteland Territorial Lord can master this martial art that can grow. This little girl should be trained as the next Wasteland Territorial Lord. "
Qin Shi was surprised again. "Is that true?"
"That's natural. The Jade Light Dance has an extremely powerful soul piercing power. Since ancient times, only those who were born with the Ancient Void Body could control it. Only one person with the Ancient Void Body would appear in the Desolate Region every hundred years."
Ba Huang laughed and said, "Actually, I should belong to her too. The Chaotic Lands and the Desolate Lands have been allies for many years. Three hundred years ago, Shang Qing died. The Living Hollow Hole was opened by the Ancient Hollow Body, so I should have recognized her as my master. But you took advantage of it."
Hearing this, Qin Shi was really taken aback. The complicated relationships between the eight regions really made him feel helpless. He would never be able to guess the thoughts of those who played at the top of the continent.
Seeing Qin Shi's sadness, Ba Huang smiled and said, "Little fellow, don't be anxious. You have only just started. Your path is still very long. Sooner or later, you will also become a chess player in this chessboard and not just a chess piece on the chessboard."
Evil Demon used to tell him something similar. He believed it too. He would never be willing to be someone else's chess piece.
"I believe that Shang Qing is not wrong about you."
After such a long time, Ba Huang's view of Qin Shi had completely changed. At first, he didn't care about him, but now he had high hopes for him.
Hearing Jing Cai's words, Yuan Hao's old face darkened. He looked serious. However, he remained silent for a long time. He was still afraid of Jing Cai.
Jing Cai's cultivation was too strong. Even Yuan Hao was inferior to him. Even with Shi Feng and Chu Deyu's help, he wasn't sure he could win.
"Haha, Old Taoist Jing Cai is right. Waste and Chaos have been working together for so many years. We shouldn't ruin our relationship because of such a small thing."
Yuan Hao put on a fake smile. Then, he turned his withered hand and pushed Kong Hyun-hui away. His strength was very gentle.
Many disciples were shocked. Even Yu Wenshang let out a sigh of relief. His eyes flashed with joy. Was Yuan Hao finally going to give up?
However, Qin Shi's obsidian-like eyes darkened when the situation took a turn for the better. Only he knew that the matter would not end like this. At this moment, he suddenly saw a cunning glint in Yuanhao's old eyes.
After sending Kong Hyun-hui away, Yuan Hao said, "Okay, I'll give your princess back to you. This time, it was our fault. I'll send some disciples to Waste with gifts to apologize. As for the rest, I'm afraid Old Taoist Jing Cai doesn't have the right to interfere."
Hearing this, many disciples understood. They all looked at Qin Shi. Qin Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Things weren't that simple.
Kong Hyun-hui's almond-shaped eyes lost their color. She grabbed Jing Cai's sleeve and begged, "Grandpa Jing, I'm begging you. Please save him!"
Jing Cai frowned and patted Kong Hyun-hui to comfort her. "Don't worry. Waste is indebted to him. We won't let anything happen to him."
After he finished speaking, he waved his aged hand, and the unique domain around Qin Shi merged with the power around his body. He said to Yuan Hao, "Our Wasteland Region will also take this little kid away."
"Jing Cai, don't go too far!"
Chu Deyu's face changed. He said angrily, "We've returned the Princess of Desolate to you. Qin Shi is a traitor of the Chaotic Lands. You can't take him away!"
However, Chu Deyu's words had no effect on Jing Cai at all. On the contrary, Jing Cai's aura surged, and the entire universe turned blood red. He was extremely shocked. He laughed crudely and said, "If I, Jing Cai, want to go to someone, I'm afraid that no one here today can stop me!"
"You …!"
Chu Deyu was instantly enraged. However, right at this moment, Yuan Hao suddenly used his sleeve to stop him. He stared at Jing Cai with killing intent in his eyes for a long time before he sneered, "Haha, indeed. If Old Daoist Jing Cai wants to take someone away, then we really can't stop him. I can hand Qin Shi over to you, but in that case, he will die!"
Swoosh!
Boom!
Two forces of power pierced through the sky. Yu Wenshang frowned. A giant hand appeared above his head, trying to grab him.
"Shang!
Brother! "
Kong Hyun-hui, Wu Ning, and the others were disgraced. However, they didn't have time to move forward. The giant hand tore the ground apart.
Yu Wenshang's facial features contorted from the pressure. With a twist of the Domain Realm Handseal, he waved his hand in an attempt to unleash his domain. However, his domain was too weak in front of Yuan Hao. It was like an egg that was crushed by the giant hand with a crack. He was directly controlled by Yuan Hao!
"Shang!
Old dog Yuan, don't you dare! "Kong Hyun-hui pouted.
Jing Cai's face darkened. He wanted to stop them, but it was too late. "Haha, the Chaotic Realm is getting more and more vicious. You're even so cruel to your own disciple?"
"That's our territory's business. He's a traitor to our territory. If you want him to live, then exchange him for Qin Shi."
Yuan Hao caught Kong Hyun-hui's heart. He smiled at Kong Hyun-hui and said, "Between the two of them, it's all up to you. Whether it's your husband or your friend, little girl, this is a question worth thinking about."
Kong Xianhui's body violently trembled. In an instant, the gazes of everyone present were all fixated on her. Her choice would determine the outcome of this shocking event.
Kong Hyun-hui paled. Yu Wenshang and Qin Shi clenched their fists. No one had expected Yuan Hao to be so vicious. The two of them said at the same time, "Save him!"
However, how could Kong Xianhui watch someone die? How could she do such a thing?
"Little girl, you don't have much time. Who do you want to live? Choose quickly," Yuan Hao said with a smile.
Kong Hyun-hui was about to go crazy. At that moment, Jing Cai's expression changed slightly. He looked at Kong Hyun-hui and said, "Little girl, listen to me. Choose Yu Wenshang."
"Huh?"
Kong Hyun-hui closed her almond-shaped eyes. She couldn't make such a choice. However, just as she was about to speak, Jing Cai shook his head. His eyes seemed to be conveying something. He waved his hand and the barrier protecting Qin Shi broke. A gentle force pushed him towards Yuan Hao.
Under everyone's gaze, Kong Hyun-hui finally spat out two words in pain.
