270: Disciple Li Qi...pays homage to the master!

“Revered Master, I feel like it’s a bit dangerous over there. Is it really okay to just go over there…?”

“Why don’t we go around?”

A young Disciple followed behind a refined middle-aged man and asked cautiously.

And this refined middle-aged man… was none other than Ji Ying, the Ancestral Master of the Pine Crane Longevity Sect from the Lower Realm!

Since Ji Ying arrived in the Upper Realm, he carefully managed and developed, safely passing through the weakest initial stage.

Afterward, he accumulated strength and then burst forth, his power advancing with divine speed, breaking through from the Celestial Origin Realm to the “Six Realms” of the World King Realm in just a few hundred years!

Such a Genius naturally attracted the attention of many people, and many forces extended olive branches to Ji Ying, wishing to recruit this Genius under their command.

But Ji Ying refused all the invitations from these forces.

Ji Ying’s journey had been difficult; he broke through the barriers between the two realms and ascended to the Upper Realm, possessing an extremely high aspiration. He had never thought of joining others’ command, becoming their pawn, and being at their beck and call.

After Ji Ying established himself… he once again founded a Sect named Crane Sect!

Under his operation and management, Crane Sect flourished. Although it was not as outrageous as Four Seas Sect, it was still a considerable force, with significant influence in the surrounding area.

Crane Sect was not too far from Yunluo City, about forty thousand miles away. After receiving news of the Slaughtering Heaven Plains’ emergence, Ji Ying immediately led a World King Realm Disciple from his Sect and rushed over.

Ji Ying had learned about the Human King and knew that the Human King’s Tomb was hidden here. He came for the Opportunity within the Human King’s Tomb.

After confirming the location of the Human King’s Tomb, Ji Ying and his Disciple cautiously moved towards its direction.

However, as they got closer to the Human King’s Tomb, the Corpse Fiends they encountered became stronger and stronger!

Just now, Ji Ying had killed a “Four Realms” level Corpse Fiend, which already made him feel some difficulty. If he encountered an even stronger Corpse Fiend… it might really be hard to deal with.

Ji Ying gritted his teeth and said firmly to the Disciple beside him, named Guan Yushi: “The Opportunity in the Human King’s Tomb is extraordinary… if we can obtain it, we will surely soar to greatness.”

“As long as we don’t attract the attention of these Corpse Fiends, we can still sneak into the Human King’s Tomb.”

As he was speaking, a chilling gaze swept over, firmly locking onto Ji Ying and his Disciple.

“!”

Both of them were startled. They saw a decaying arm stretch out from the ground, and a terrifying Evil Qi diffused from it.

The decaying hand slammed down, and a Corpse Fiend drilled out from underground. It turned its head, its pale eyes looking at Ji Ying and Guan Yushi.

“Awooo awooo awooo…”

The Corpse Fiend roared to the sky, and the Aura on its body erupted… This was clearly a “Seven Realms” level Corpse Fiend!

“Seven Realms level?!”

“Damn it! How could it be a Corpse Fiend of this level?”

Guan Yushi’s face stiffened, showing a look of fear.

He was only at the “Three Realms” level, and the Aura emanating from the Corpse Fiend opposite him gave him an unbearable feeling.

Ji Ying, however, was much calmer: “Don’t panic. Although it is Seven Realms, its mind is incomplete… there might still be a chance to defeat it!”

Hearing Ji Ying say this, Guan Yushi quickly calmed down and was no longer as flustered as he was at first.

Seeing that the two prey in front of it were not only not panicked but also trying to resist, the Corpse Fiend was furious. It stomped its feet heavily on the ground and pounced towards Ji Ying and his Disciple.

But at this very moment… an unexpected change occurred!

The Corpse Fiend’s speed was fast, but another figure’s speed was even faster!

A blurry phantom, too indistinct for the naked eye to discern, rushed from behind the Corpse Fiend, reaching behind it even faster than the Corpse Fiend!

A clear Crane’s Cry sounded!

A brilliant sword light illuminated everyone’s eyes. The long sword instantly pierced through the Corpse Fiend’s skull… The sharp sword tip protruded from the Corpse Fiend’s forehead!

[Crane’s Cry in the Autumn Water]!

The Corpse Fiend, pierced through the skull by a single sword, its roar came to an abrupt halt. With the infusion of World Power, its head exploded violently.

The headless corpse fell to the ground, lifeless…

And the person who suddenly arrived and killed the Corpse Fiend… was precisely Li Qi!

This sudden turn of events deeply shocked Ji Ying and Guan Yushi.

What on earth was going on?

Who was this young man who suddenly appeared here?

Not only was this person so strong… but he also knew the sword technique [Crane’s Cry in the Autumn Water]?

Guan Yushi’s expression became serious. He stepped forward and demanded, “Who are you? Why do you know my Crane Sect’s Pine Crane Longevity Art?”

Li Qi looked at Guan Yushi, who had spoken, and then looked at the refined man next to Guan Yushi, and immediately smiled.

When Li Qi had joined the Pine Crane Longevity Sect in the Lower Realm, he had seen the Ancestral Master’s portrait, so he naturally knew what the Ancestral Master looked like.

Now that Li Qi had ascended to the Upper Realm and saw this familiar face again, a ripple of emotion surged in his heart.

Li Qi took a step forward, met the eyes of the refined middle-aged man, and then bowed respectfully.

“Disciple Li Qi… greets Ancestral Master!”
