789: Chapter 788 Thunder Dao Expert!!

Therefore, she did not hesitate to step forward at the most critical moment, using thunderous methods to slay the two dead soldiers and rescue Qin Yan and Jiang Li from their perilous situation.

Unfortunately, First Prince Jun Wentian was far more patient than she had imagined; from beginning to end, he had not revealed a single flaw, leaving her unable to openly expose his identity and maximize the impact of this incident.

But it did not matter; games of this level were never matters that could be resolved in a single day.

Patriarch Liu Qingxuan reined in the trace of regret in her heart, waved her fair hand to lift the corpses of the two dead soldiers with True Qi, and turned her head to look at Qin Yan and Jiang Li.

"Two, the villains have been slain by me, so you may rest easy."

Qin Yan looked at this powerful woman who had helped them; although he felt grateful, he was not blinded by this sudden act of kindness.

He and Patriarch Liu Qingxuan were complete strangers, yet she had helped them so readily; this "good connection" seemed a bit too proactive.

Immediately, Qin Yan asked bluntly, "Might I ask why you chose to help the two of us, Senior?"

Hearing this, Patriarch Liu Qingxuan smiled lightly and said in a frank tone, "Both of you are the pride of the Taixuan Holy Land, with limitless futures. My intervention this time is merely to take the opportunity to establish a good connection with you both. If we meet again by chance in the future, perhaps we can look out for one another."

Her words were watertight; she admitted her intention to befriend them without being overly obsequious to the point of causing disgust.

Qin Yan and Jiang Li exchanged a glance, unable to judge whether her words were true or false.

She spoke reasonably enough, but who knew what she was thinking inside?

In the martial arts world, human hearts are unpredictable. One cannot easily trust anyone.

In the end, a thousand words could only be reduced to one: "Thank you, Senior."

After expressing his thanks, Qin Yan walked over to the corpses of the two dead soldiers, bent down, and removed the black hoods covering their faces one by one, revealing two extremely unfamiliar faces.

His Mental Energy swept over their bodies, attempting to find some clues to identify them, but these two were clearly prepared—aside from a few ordinary spirit weapons, there were no items that could prove their identities, and even their Storage Rings were empty.

"Do not waste your effort. These two are clearly dead soldiers; it is very difficult to uncover their identities."

Patriarch Liu Qingxuan had dispelled her Golden Body at some point and arrived behind Qin Yan.

Her gaze swept across the faces of the two dead soldiers, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes.

Dead soldiers are the most pathetic group of people.

They have no names, no identities, and no future.

They are raised, trained, and brainwashed from a young age.

Their existence is purely to risk their lives for their master, to die for their master.

"Very well then."

Qin Yan shook his head helplessly and stood up.

Meanwhile, Jiang Li, who was on the side, had committed the faces of these two dead soldiers to memory.

Once she returned to the Taixuan Holy Land, she would have her Family investigate, look into the identities of these two, and track down the mastermind behind the scenes.

She, Jiang Li, was not the type of person to be beaten without striking back.

"Qin Yan, it is highly likely that you have obtained the Legacy of Venerable Destruction," Patriarch Liu Qingxuan continued, her gaze falling upon Qin Yan with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"I will see this good deed through to the end and escort you for the rest of the way." Her tone was sincere and frank.

Qin Yan thought for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and said, "Then I will have to trouble you, Senior."

With this Great Grandmaster escorting them, his safety would undoubtedly be greatly improved.

Patriarch Liu Qingxuan was a Peak Great Grandmaster and possessed formidable strength.

With her present, those with ill intentions should not dare to act rashly.

However, Qin Yan did not become completely careless; instead, he took out the black lightning orb.

The lightning orb was pitch black, with black and purple lightning patterns flowing across its surface.

Qin Yan immediately activated the lightning orb; if Patriarch Liu Qingxuan dared to make a move against him, he would immediately unleash this ultimate weapon.

An attack at the Peak Venerable level was not something a Great Grandmaster could withstand.

If Patriarch Liu Qingxuan really had ill intentions, he would have no choice but to send her to her death.

Qin Yan and Jiang Li stood together, silently keeping their distance from Patriarch Liu Qingxuan.

They walked in front, while Patriarch Liu Qingxuan walked behind.

The distance between the three was neither far nor near, just enough for Qin Yan to activate the lightning orb at a moment's notice.

Seeing this, Patriarch Liu Qingxuan merely smiled lightly and said nothing.

It was normal for them to suspect her.

After all, the timing of her appearance was too coincidental, and she was too enthusiastic.

If it were her, she would also be suspicious.

Moreover, if Qin Yan trusted her without reservation, she might even look down on him.

Someone without vigilance cannot live long in the martial arts world.

Subsequently, the three turned into three streaks of light and continued to head towards the perimeter.

The white streaks of light from Qin Yan and Jiang Li, and the cyan streak of light from Patriarch Liu Qingxuan, the three beams of light cut through the gray-black sky and flew out of the Ruined Battlefield.

Along the way, Qin Yan found that this Great Grandmaster was very quiet, and his vigilance towards her lowered slightly.

Patriarch Liu Qingxuan did not speak much, did not ask many questions, and did not make any moves that would make him feel uneasy.

She simply followed silently behind, silently protecting them.

Soon after, Qin Yan tried asking her some questions.

The distribution of forces in the Guhen Kingdom, the powerful figures of the Guhen Kingdom, the local customs of the Guhen Kingdom—everything he could ask, he did.

Patriarch Liu Qingxuan answered them one by one without concealment.

When Patriarch Liu Qingxuan heard Qin Yan ask which experts of the Lightning Dao were in the Guhen Kingdom, her eyes suddenly brightened.

"Qin Yan, what level of strength is this expert you speak of?" Patriarch Liu Qingxuan asked.

"At least a Peak Great Grandmaster, or even the Venerable level, and they possess purple lightning, and are male," Qin Yan said slowly, recalling the characteristics of the Lightning Dao expert who had attacked him that day.

"In our Guhen Kingdom, there are quite a few experts of the Lightning Dao. However, not many fit your criteria."

Patriarch Liu Qingxuan said, her tone carrying a hint of contemplation.

Subsequently, Patriarch Liu Qingxuan began to introduce them to Qin Yan.

When introducing the first few experts, Patriarch Liu Qingxuan merely glossed over them in a few words.

However, when introducing the First Prince of the Guhen Kingdom, First Prince Jun Wentian, Patriarch Liu Qingxuan's tone suddenly became detailed—from how First Prince Jun Wentian's Heavenly Punishment Lightning Golden Body fused with the power of black tribulation lightning, to how he relied on his astonishing talent to reach the Peak Great Grandmaster realm at just over a hundred years old, and then to how he successfully crossed the lightning sea of Venerable Purple Thunder a few days ago, obtaining the supreme Legacy of that Peak Venerable expert; she even recounted his habitual Lightning Dao Martial Skills and combat style in great detail.

The more Qin Yan listened, the more he felt something was wrong. This Clan Chief Liu was sparing with her words when introducing other Lightning Dao experts, but when it came to First Prince Jun Wentian, she spoke as if she knew everything like the back of her hand, even knowing some extremely secretive details in great depth.
