412: Visit the Righteous Alliance

“Good, I should take you down first, then we can talk about other things.”

Qin Shilei unsheathed his Giant Que Sword with a clang.

Swords and blades clashed, sending sparks flying.

For a time, sword energy and blade light crisscrossed, and the two sides fought an indissoluble battle.

The middle-aged man’s three subordinates, however, were leisurely discussing.

“Hall Master Liu, what is the cultivation level of that young man opposite? How dare he provoke Elder He?”

“Platinum One-Star.”

“To reach Platinum One-Star at such a young age, he is indeed a rare genius, seen only once in a hundred years.”

“Why hasn’t Elder He taken him down yet? Is he perhaps cherishing his talent?”

“Probably. Elder He has never had a disciple; he might be thinking of taking one.”

Listening to his subordinates’ discussion, Elder He’s cheeks flushed slightly.

He cursed under his breath, “Cherishing talent, my foot! Taking a disciple, my ass! Can’t you all see that I’m about to collapse?”

Elder He was a Platinum Six-Star Expert, an existence revered by tens of thousands in the Space Secret Realm.

He hadn't expected to encounter a tough opponent when he casually ran into a young man right after leaving the Secret Realm.

Although the opponent's cultivation was not as strong as his own, his swordsmanship was astonishing; every move struck the unyielding points of his blade technique, making him extremely uncomfortable.

“Hmph, let me show you my Soul Extinguishing Blade!”

Seeing that he was about to lose face in front of his subordinates, Elder He finally couldn't help but unleash his ultimate move.

“Soul Extinguishing Blade? Is it one of the three most powerful blade techniques rumored in the Zhengqi Alliance?”

“Precisely! It’s a peerless blade technique where one strike annihilates all souls!”

“We are truly fortunate; today we can witness the splendor of the Soul Extinguishing Blade with our own eyes.”

“Tsk tsk, it’s truly a pity; such a young peerless expert is about to die under the Soul Extinguishing Blade.”

The three instantly became spirited, staring unblinkingly at Elder He, hoping to grasp a hint of the Soul Extinguishing Blade's essence.

Elder He’s long blade glowed with a dazzling golden light.

Then, that long blade seemed to transform into countless illusory figures, continuously striking forward.

For a time, blade energy crisscrossed, and golden light flickered.

The area more than ten meters in front of him instantly became a sea of blades.

The surrounding sand, stones, and trees were all reduced to dust under the cutting of the blade light.

One minute later, the blade light receded, and Elder He put away his blade, looking forward.

Not a trace of blood was seen.

“Are you looking for me? I’m right here.”

A muffled voice suddenly came from Elder He’s left side.

He turned his head to look and was instantly terrified, his face changing drastically.

That young man had, at some unknown point, run to his left and transformed into a twenty-meter-tall giant.

At this moment, a gigantic sword edge was sweeping fiercely towards him.

In a hurry, Elder He could only raise his blade to block.

With a clang, his treasured blade, which had accompanied him for two hundred years, was cut into two by the opponent’s sword.

And he himself flew out like a cannonball.

Pfft!

He couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of fresh blood while still in mid-air.

After crashing through nearly ten large trees, Elder He finally stopped.

But before he could catch his breath, a shadow enveloped him from above.

He struggled to roll to the side but was still inevitably swept by the opponent’s sword body.

Pfft!

Elder He was once again violently sent flying, spitting out another large mouthful of fresh blood.

Then, that enormous greatsword rested horizontally on his neck.

The three people not far away were completely stunned for a moment.

What happened?

Didn't Elder He use his ultimate move, the Soul Extinguishing Blade? How did he lose in the blink of an eye?

How did this person suddenly turn into a giant? Did he use some kind of evil art?

Now, should we run away or try to rescue Elder He?

Before the three could make up their minds, their vision suddenly blurred, and Qin Shilei’s figure disappeared.

Then, a rapid whooshing sound came from behind them.

The three also followed in Elder He's footsteps, being sent flying like cannonballs to a spot not far from Elder He.

“Can I ask you some questions now?”

Qin Shilei looked down from above and asked, “Is this middle-aged man from your Zhengqi Alliance?”

Having witnessed Qin Shilei’s powerful strength, the few people did not act arrogantly again.

They looked up and carefully identified the middle-aged man in the photo.

“I don’t know this person. However, our Zhengqi Alliance has nearly 100,000 people, so I don’t know if this person is from our Zhengqi Alliance,” another Platinum One-Star Expert replied.

Qin Shilei frowned and explained, “This person has Platinum-level strength or above; he should be a high-ranking member of your Zhengqi Alliance. Haven’t you seen him before?”

That person frowned, “Then he cannot be from our Zhengqi Alliance, because I know all the Platinum Experts in our Zhengqi Alliance.”

Qin Shilei furrowed his brow, thinking, “It seems this person isn’t lying. Then the middle-aged man An Qian and the others saw is probably not from the Zhengqi Alliance.

Is someone trying to sow discord between me and the Zhengqi Alliance?

The Buddhist Sect or the Demonic Sect?”

Elder He suddenly asked, “Are you from the Demonic Sect or the Buddhist Sect?”

Qin Shilei shook his head, “I am neither from the Demonic Sect nor the Buddhist Sect. Now, take me to your Zhengqi Alliance’s Alliance Master.”

Elder He and the others’ faces instantly lit up with joy, and they all secretly thought, “What an ignorant fellow, he actually wants to see our Alliance Master. Once he enters our main base, we will definitely rally everyone to attack him and collectively eliminate this fiend.”

Qin Shilei saw the smiles on their lips and, with a thought, understood their intentions.

However, he did not expose their intentions; instead, he urged, “Stop playing dead. Get up quickly and take me to see your Alliance Master.”

After Qin Shilei canceled his Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth state, he was the first to jump into the Space Secret Realm entrance.

A wave of dizziness, and in an instant, he entered the Zhengqi Alliance’s Space Secret Realm.

Looking up, he saw that it was a grand hall several tens of square meters in size.

When the guards of the grand hall saw Qin Shilei suddenly appear, they immediately drew their weapons and, with wary expressions, questioned, “Who are you? How did you get in?”

Another person took out a whistle and blew it loudly.

Just then, Elder He and the other four also returned to this Space Secret Realm from Blue Star.

“Stand down. This person is here to see our Alliance Master.”

After Elder He finished speaking, he gestured for Qin Shilei to follow, “This way.”

Exiting the grand hall, outside was a street paved with bluestone.

Qin Shilei looked up; it was like an ancient city in a scenic area, with various ancient buildings as far as the eye could see.

Elder He showed no intention of introducing the scenery and customs here to Qin Shilei, flying directly towards a small mountain in the distance.

Dozens of luxurious ancient-style buildings were nestled halfway up the mountain.

Qin Shilei moved his body, following the opponent unhurriedly as he flew forward.

Soon, Elder He led the way, flying to the sky above the innermost grand hall.

He opened his mouth and let out a high-pitched shriek, “Whoosh!”

Seeing Qin Shilei looking at him with a half-smile, Elder He chuckled dryly and explained, “I’m notifying them to come and welcome you, our distinguished guest!”

“No matter, it’s even better to call all the high-ranking members of your Zhengqi Alliance,” Qin Shilei said indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of figures flew out from the various buildings below, and in a short while, they completely surrounded Qin Shilei in the middle.
