"I, Nie He, am here to apologize to Emperor Li."
The enchantment dissipated, and Nie Sipo stepped in. She knelt in front of Qin Hao, her body close to the ground. Her body trembled slightly, and her heart jumped up and down. She was very uneasy.
That day when they left the Path Mountain, the will of the Red Lotus Fire remained on Ximeng's face. The handprint was like a birthmark that could not disappear. Qian Ning immediately recognized it. This method and aura were very similar to Qin Hao's Soul Fire.
Without any questions, Nie Sipo took the initiative to tell Qian Ning what happened. She thought that Qian Ning would stand up for her, but she did not expect to be scolded angrily.
That day, Qian Ning summoned several Emperors and brought Nie Sipo back. Coincidentally, Face Like Cream was also in the Holy Palace. They traveled together without stopping. Just as Qin Hao expected, Qian Ning would arrive in four days at the fastest speed.
"Get up. Let bygones be bygones. I don't take it to heart."
Qin Hao did not even look down. Nie Sipo had raised Qian Ning and could be considered half a foster mother. They were friends, and the elders of friends were his elders. If it were anyone else in the Divine Palace, Qin Hao would treat them with respect.
If Nie Sipo had not gone too far, he would not have exposed his identity and suppressed her.
Now, she was kneeling in front of him, making it difficult for both sides to step down. Was he really going to punish her?
That was not right. If Qin Hao killed Nie Sipo, wouldn't Qian Ning be disappointed?
He said that he wanted Qian Ning to apologize, but in fact, he just wanted to see her. He had asked Qian Ning to take care of the Taoist Sect. How could he really punish her? Dendi was not that petty.
"Emperor Li, please punish me. You can punish me however you want. I will not complain."
Nie Sipo was serious this time. The more Qian Ning said that nothing was wrong, the more afraid she was. Now, even a fool could see that Qian Ning and Li Chuji had a close relationship. Nie Sipo had her current status because she was smart. Qian Ning rarely left the Holy Palace and had almost no friends. She only went on a long trip once, which was ten years ago. Li Chuji's background was not simple.
What's more, the daughter of Emperor Yan, Lady Rushuang, was very close to Li Chuji.
"When I tell you to get up on the third day of the Lunar New Year, you should behave yourself."
Qian Ning was so angry that she wanted to laugh. She secretly scolded him, "Haven't you embarrassed me enough?
Stand to one side.
Nie Sipo shuddered and quickly got up from the ground. She stood behind Qian Ning and lowered her head. Her hands clutched her dress tightly. It was obvious that she was still very nervous.
"Bie Qiu, Yongnian, Bo Shang, and the fellow daoists of the Sacred Palace, come in."
.. Qin Hao.
"Emperor Li, the Holy Palace is ashamed."
An old granny who was holding a Heaven Connecting Vine and wearing a purple and gold phoenix robe was the first to enter. Immediately after, she coldly stared at Nie Sipo. Although Nie Sipo didn't raise her head, she still felt her body suddenly turn cold and trembled even more violently.
"Taihua of the Holy Palace, eighth level of the Dao Proving Realm, third level of the Dao Proving Realm, third level of the Dao Proving Realm, and third level of the Dao Proving Realm. Even my master has to call you senior when he sees you."
Qian Ning explained with a smile. She had been an elder for three generations and had come to the Dao Mountain to apologize. It was obvious that she was very sincere this time.
"Senior Taihua, I have heard a lot about you."
Qin Hao stood up and cupped his hands.
"You are really a peerless talent. Emperor Li is so young, but his Emperor Dao is so profound. Eighth level of the Dao Proving Realm, I am embarrassed to be called senior."
Granny Taihua praised. She saw through Qin Hao's cultivation level.
Qin Hao's face suddenly tightened, and he was greatly shocked, "Senior can actually see through the details of my cultivation."
"Don't be nervous. Granny Taihua's soul power is special. She is a fortune teller. No secret in the world can escape her eyes. Ten years ago, when the signs appeared, she divined for me. The divination showed that I would turn misfortune into fortune. That is why I dared to step into the Divine Palace."
Qian Ning explained with a smile. She looked at Qin Hao with surprise. "You, on the other hand, have improved so fast. Eighth level of the Dao Proving Realm, only one level away from the Imperial Lord. I am only third level."
After the battle in the Southern Region, the disciples of the Divine Palace had scattered. At that time, Qian Ning remembered Qin Hao had reached the second level of the Dao Proving Realm. He had broken through six levels in eight years. No wonder he was the top genius of the Seven Peaks.
Ning Tianxing and Qingzhi Han would not be able to catch up.
"Is it fast?
I think it is too slow. "
Qin Hao smiled bitterly. If Qian Ning knew how he had spent the past eight years. He had been refined by the Qi of the Five Spirits of South Sky Peak. Every day felt like a year. She would not have said it was fast.
In fact, eight years ago, Qin Hao could have directly become an Imperial Lord. However, that level of Imperial Lord was not the orthodox path of the Divine Palace. He was not much different from the ordinary Imperial Lords of the outside world. This was not the result Qin Hao wanted.
However, Granny Taihua in front of him had the power of divination. This made Qin Hao more vigilant.
Fortune tellers were very rare. They were even rarer than alchemists and armorers. These people were born with bad luck. Because they peeped into the Heavenly Path, they usually did not live long. It was difficult to reach the Renhuang Realm, let alone the Imperial Lord. A fortune teller like Granny Taihua, who was in the eighth level of the Dao Proving Realm, could be considered an Old Demon.
"In my entire life, I've only used the divination number three times. That's why I've been able to live until now. Even so, those three times of prying into the secrets of the heavens made me pay a heavy price. If it weren't for that, there wouldn't be the current Shui Yao."
The depths of Granny Taihua's eyes were full of vicissitudes.
Qin Hao's heart trembled violently. How could he not understand the meaning of the old woman's words? If it weren't for the fact that she was greatly injured after peeping into the Heavenly Path three times, Granny Taihua's strength would definitely surpass Shui Yao's.
"Emperor Li, your life is very bumpy. I have a word of advice for you. Please look at everything with your heart. Don't trust your eyes too much. That's all I have to say," Granny Taihua said.
After she finished speaking, her face turned slightly pale. Obviously, she had used a trace of the power of divination, but it didn't have much effect. She didn't dare to pry into Qin Hao's situation too deeply, nor could she see that Dendi had re-cultivated for two lifetimes.
Even so, Granny Taihua could still vaguely sense that Qin Hao's life was extraordinary.
"Thank you for your advice."
Qin Hao bowed. He didn't quite understand the meaning of Granny Taihua's words, but he would silently keep it in his heart.
Look at everything with your heart, don't trust your eyes too much. What does she mean?
At this moment, except for Emperor Yuan of the Water Jade Sacred Palace, Ji Bieqiu and the others of the Dao Sect were all incomparably respectful. They even looked at Granny Taihua with awe.
Their abilities were the same as the Dao Ancestor's. Often, such people didn't live long, but they were undeniably powerful. They could even reverse the universe.
"Qian Ning, I'm pressed for time. There are still many things I need to do. I will pay attention to the whereabouts of Uncle Yan. In addition, there is one more thing I need to entrust to you."
Qin Hao said.
"Don't stand on ceremony, just say it."
Qian Ning vaguely guessed what Qin Hao wanted to express.
"After I leave, please leave Qilin Daoist Mountain and my disciple, Shi Dong, to the Sacred Palace. I don't need the Imperial Lord to bestow anything, I just want the Dao Sect to be safe and sound."
Qin Hao said. He took a deep look at Shi Dong and Qing Qing, reluctant to part with them.
"It's a small matter, don't worry. I plan to merge the forces of Nanjiang. The Striking Kong Sect and Taisui Mountain will be integrated into the Dao Sect. From now on, there will only be one Sect in Nanjiang. No matter what happens, whether it's an opportunity or a fortuitous encounter, let them bear it together."
Qian Ning said.
"That's naturally better."
Qin Hao chuckled. In fact, he had already guessed that there would be such an outcome.
The breathing of Ji Bieqiu and the others became much heavier. As expected, Taisui Emperor and Old Ancestor Striking Kong Sect couldn't escape. With the merger of the three Sect, Daoist Mountain would monopolize Nanjiang. In this situation, the Dao Sect was rapidly growing stronger. Could it be that the sect was also showing signs of atavism?
Faintly, tears flickered in the eyes of Elder Qi and Elder Yu. They seemed to have seen the glorious future of the Sect.
"Alright, if we talk for too long, I won't be at ease. Let's end it here."
After everything was settled, it was time for Qin Hao to leave. He walked to the door and pointed to the Southern Sky Peak. He smiled meaningfully and said, "Before I leave, I'll give you a treasured place to cultivate. It will make you miss the Nine-Heaven Spiritual Waterfall and the Xuantian Karst Cave."
"Hey, do you think I don't know that the Southern Sky Peak contains the Five Spirit Earthly Qi?
There's no need for you to give it to me. It belongs to the Sacred Palace. "
Qian Ning pursed her lips and looked at Granny Taihua with a wronged expression.
Qin Hao's heart skipped a beat. That's it?
No wonder she's a fortune teller.
"The Southern Sky Leyline is like a giant palm holding up the entire Southern Land. It's the source of life in the Southern Land. I knew about it four hundred years ago. At first, I was excited and wanted Shui Yao to move the Sacred Palace to this peak. But later …" Granny Taihua shook her head and smiled. "The Heavenly Axiom decreed that the Southern Sky has a master. The master is the Tribulation Sword Sovereign."
"Senior, I'm impressed."
Qin Hao's eyes were filled with tears. He suddenly had the urge to become her disciple. Four hundred years ago, the fortune teller was so accurate.
No, it couldn't be that Granny Taihua used her power to calculate it. This fortune teller was too powerful.
"Oh, no."
Granny Taihua suddenly seemed to sense something. Her expression changed drastically and her old body trembled violently.
Boom!
As soon as she said that, the entire Southern Sky Peak collapsed and disappeared under Qin Hao's finger.
"Young friend, your doom is coming."
Granny Taihua took a deep breath and looked at Qin Hao. At the same time, the Emperor Intent in her body surged wildly. Although the target was Qin Hao, she couldn't ignore it since it was the Shui Yao Saint Country.
