14: The Supreme Being astonished everyone
A figure in black robes appeared in the Void Realm, wearing an exquisite mask that only revealed a pair of eyes.
Qi Huan looked at the black-robed figure; he could not sense the figure's cultivation, which shocked him greatly.
With his cultivation of a Seventh Heaven Immortal Emperor, he surprisingly couldn't see through the opponent. There were only two reasons: either the opponent was an ordinary person with no cultivation, or they were stronger than him—and not just by a little.
Qi Huan had already ignored the former; could someone without cultivation stand in the Void Realm? Don't be ridiculous... so only the latter possibility remained.
"Who is Your Excellency? Do you intend to interfere in the affairs of my Hall of Gods?" Qi Huan spoke.
The black-robed person was naturally Qin Gelan in disguise. As for his aura, with the System there, he had the System help him hide it, and the System readily agreed.
The reason Qin Gelan didn't stop them at first was that he was waiting for the System to issue a mission, but after waiting for a long time, the System didn't issue one at all.
Finally, Qin Gelan took the initiative to ask: "Tong Zi, they've already come to my doorstep, and you're still not issuing a mission?"
[host, don't be anxious. The mission will naturally be issued. This System is currently fighting for rewards for you, which is why there was a delay.]
"brother tong zi, I really want to give you a kiss." Hearing that the System was fighting for rewards for him, Qin Gelan was moved.
But strangely, did rewards also need to be fought for by the System?
Subsequently, the System issued the mission:
[The Hall of Gods is bullying their way to your door, wishing to destroy the Qin Family. Mission issued: Help the Qin Family survive this calamity by any means necessary.]
[Mission Completion Rewards: Cultivation increase, several Medicinal Pills, various Physiques reaching Major Achievement, Vast Righteous Qi, etc.]
Well, the System didn't explicitly say what the rewards were, but the two words "etc." at the end gave Qin Gelan infinite expectations.
Very good, this dog System knows how to bait.
Back to the present.
"The Hall of Gods, are they that impressive?" Qin Gelan spoke in a forced, raspy voice, showing utter disdain for the Hall of Gods in his words.
Hearing Qin Gelan's words, Qi Huan frowned. Are people nowadays really this brave?
The Grand Elder was indeed right; the Xuanhuang Heaven had been peaceful for too long, and the Transcendent Factions had not taken action for a long time, causing the world to lose its sense of awe.
Qi Huan spoke slowly: "Your Excellency has quite a tone. Even the Hall of Gods cannot enter Your Excellency's Dharma Eye."
By now, how could Qi Huan not understand that this person was a helper brought in by the Qin Family?
"Does Your Excellency intend to stand up for the Qin Family and become an enemy of the Hall of Gods?" Qi Huan stared at Qin Gelan and asked.
"Yes!"
Only a simple response.
"Your Excellency should think clearly. You are just one person. Not to mention whether you can save the Qin Family, even if you can, is it worth offending my Hall of Gods for them?"
Unless absolutely necessary, Qi Huan did not want to cause unnecessary trouble. Although the Hall of Gods feared no one, they did not want to make enemies out of thin air.
Furthermore, he couldn't see through the person in front of him, who gave him an unfathomable feeling.
"The Hall of Gods are just clowns. Since you have come today, there is no need to leave," Qin Gelan said.
"Arrogant!"
"Hahaha, you alone actually dare to claim you'll keep us here."
"Elder Qi, let's do it. First, deal with this person, then destroy the Qin Family."
Qi Huan's eyes were also ice-cold, and he snorted: "Since you don't know what's good for you, then perish along with the Qin Family."
"Do it!"
At Qi Huan's command, thirteen people surrounded Qin Gelan. One by one, the experts of the Hall of Gods held their Immortal Artifacts, ready to launch an attack.
Qin Gelan shook his head and unleashed the full-power strike of the strongest Immortal Emperor!
Boom!
A powerful aura shot straight into the sky as Qin Gelan slowly raised his palm.
Hand of the Heavens!
A palm that blotted out the sun and sky covered the world, and suddenly, the entire sky became somewhat dark.
A Supreme power enveloped the entire Southern Region, then spread to the entire Divine Continent, and finally, the entire Xuanhuang Heaven was enveloped by this Supreme aura.
"Su... Supreme!"
Feeling this Supreme aura, Qi Huan and the others were suddenly pale with fright. They stared blankly at the scene, their faces turning white and their legs trembling.
Qi Huan had thought of many possibilities, thinking the opponent was very strong and their cultivation might be above his own.
The cultivation was indeed above his, but damn it, this is a Supreme! Who could have thought it was a Supreme?
A Supreme fighting them—isn't that like using a laser cannon to hit a mosquito?
The old monsters in the various major factions of the entire Xuanhuang Heaven were suddenly startled awake. Some who were in seclusion also broke out and looked towards the Southern Region of Divine Continent.
"Supremes are fighting?"
"I wonder which Supreme it is."
"Is it one of the Nine Great Powers, or a Supreme from another Plane?"
One by one, the experts were trembling with fear. A Supreme's move was no joke; if they got truly angry, the entire Xuanhuang Heaven would shake.
The leaders of the Nine Great Transcendent Factions were all somewhat alarmed, asking their subordinates whether their own Supremes were within their Sects.
Hearing that their own Supremes were still in the Sects, they couldn't help but be curious. Could it be one of the other hidden Supremes? Or someone from another Plane?
Linglong Island, a Linglong Sea of Flowers suspended in the Void Realm. Yu Linglong was brewing tea on a stone stool in a flower pavilion.
Hua Yannan's face was solemn as she said, "Saintess, this Supreme aura is in our Southern Region. Could it be the Old Ancestor herself?"
Yu Linglong shook her head. She had already received a message from her aunt, Yu Feihua; it was not their own Supreme. Her aunt was none other than Yu Feihua, the Lord of Linglong Island.
Yu Linglong's dark eyebrows arched slightly as she thought about something, then she murmured to herself, "No wonder they had the confidence to challenge the Hall of Gods; it turns out they have a Supreme backing them."
Hearing Yu Linglong's words, Hua Yannan was no longer calm. She had only complained about it before, but she hadn't expected there to actually be a Supreme backing him.
"No, brother, are you for real? Are you kidding me?"
Previously, she had never thought highly of Qin Gelan, thinking he was just an ignorant kid who acted recklessly because he had some talent.
Now it seemed that he had someone behind him, protected by a Supreme. Well... he indeed could do whatever he wanted.
The Supremes of the Nine Great Powers were all disturbed. They opened their Supreme Eyes and looked towards the Southern Region, scanning Qin Gelan's mask.
However, they could not see through it; there seemed to be a layer of mist around Qin Gelan.
"Fellow Daoist, this is the Xuanhuang Heaven. I hope you will not slaughter living beings," a Supreme spoke, though it was unclear which faction they belonged to.
Qin Gelan replied in a raspy voice, "This Emperor is a person of the Xuanhuang Heaven and naturally will not slaughter living beings."
Referring to himself as "This Emperor," could he be the Profound Emperor? But given the Profound Emperor's way of doing things, he wouldn't be so secretive.
Moreover, they indeed didn't sense any aura from other Planes on Qin Gelan; he was indeed a person of the Xuanhuang Heaven.
When did the Xuanhuang Heaven produce another Supreme? This was a major event and a good thing for the Xuanhuang Heaven.
Another Supreme spoke to advise, "I wonder why Fellow Daoist is angry."
Qin Gelan chuckled and replied, "I heard the Hall of Gods has great Divine Might, and where their orders reach, no one dares to disobey. This Emperor wants to test them."
"This matter has nothing to do with you Fellow Daoists. This Emperor is only targeting the Hall of Gods."
The Supremes were silent. So, he had a grudge against the Hall of Gods.
Offending a Supreme was not a wise choice, especially since this Supreme was not from the Nine Great Transcendent Factions, meaning he had no scruples.
The other eight Transcendent Factions were somewhat gloating. The Nine Great Powers competed with each other in secret, and now that the Hall of Gods had offended a powerful enemy, they were naturally happy to see it.
"It is a blessing for the Xuanhuang Heaven that Fellow Daoist has attained the Supreme level. If you have time, you can come to my Divine Medicine Sect to discuss the Dao. The Divine Medicine Sect will certainly welcome you warmly."
"The Ice and Snow Divine Palace welcomes Fellow Daoist's arrival."
"Linglong Island also looks forward to Fellow Daoist's arrival."
"amitabha..."
"..."
The Supremes of the Nine Great Transcendent Factions, except for the Hall of Gods, all issued invitations to Qin Gelan.
