293: Chapter 293 Unfathomable, Unborn

"Is it thundering?"

Yu Qianxun suddenly jolted awake.

"Junior Sister Qianxun, stop sleeping! Someone's come to cause trouble!" Ming Tian's excited voice drifted in from outside the room.

Several years had passed, and he had grown quite a bit.

However, that voice and appearance were still exactly like a girl's.

Anyone seeing him for the first time would mistake Ming Tian for a woman.

Yu Qianxun's wings gave a sudden flap.

"Cause trouble?"

"Who dares!"

On the deck of the flying boat, everyone gathered.

Yu Qianxun quietly approached Qin Tian's back, only to find that there were no more spots left by his side...

Bai Xiyin, Han Qing, Ling Su... they were all standing beside Qin Tian...

Even Senior Snow Princess was there...

And even though she wished for it with all her heart, she could only silently fold her wings and gaze at him quietly from behind.

A sense of loss was inevitable in her heart.

"Senior Brother Qin, it seems Qianxun is drifting further and further away from you..."

All of this was caught by the keen eyes of Xue Wener.

Qin Tian was completely oblivious to this.

He raised his eyes, looked at the figure on the Dragon Steed not far away, and said with a faint smile:

"Pan Wusheng. This Fellow Daoist's name is rather inauspicious."

On the Dragon Steed, the handsome young man showed no sign of displeasure on his face.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Qin must be joking. My name was bestowed by the Old Ancestor. It means to be decisive in will and leave no life behind when striking, not that I myself have no life."

Qin Tian's expression remained unchanged. "It seems Fellow Daoist Pan is a person of decisive slaughter."

"Then today, could it be you've come to kill?"

Pan Wusheng shook his head. "Fellow Daoist Qin is joking. I never kill indiscriminately, nor am I bloodthirsty."

"I've only come today to make a friend of Fellow Daoist Qin."

Qin Tian did not respond.

Snow Princess's voice transmission rang in his mind.

[There are no Longevity Beings nearby, nor any traces of other living creatures. This Pan Wusheng came alone.]

Alone?

Qin Tian was somewhat surprised.

This Pan Wusheng's Heart-Nature and courage far exceeded Qin Tian's expectations.

"Fellow Daoist Pan, please take a seat."

Qin Tian raised his hand, and Spiritual Qi condensed into a tea table.

"Thank you."

With a smile on his face and an air of calm, Pan Wusheng slowly landed opposite Qin Tian.

"The tea's fragrance fills the air; it is indeed good tea."

"The Immortal Ancient is not only home to outstanding people and spiritual lands, but its products are also quite full of Spiritual Qi."

Qin Tian raised his eyes and smiled slightly. "Fellow Daoist Pan has misunderstood."

"This tea was not brought from the Immortal Ancient."

Pan Wusheng was surprised. "Oh? Then where was it produced? I have never tasted this flavor before."

"I brewed that!"

Before Qin Tian could speak, Luo Yuan spiraled out.

An Azure Dragon...!

Pan Wusheng's eyes flickered slightly.

"This Great King personally swallowed this tea and then excreted it!"

"The flavor is extremely pure!"

Pan Wusheng paused.

"Haha, so it's Dragon Tea. Excellent, excellent!"

As his voice fell, he took another sip.

Everyone was astonished.

Luo Yuan's dragon eyes widened even further.

[How come it feels like he isn't angry at all? I said it was urine and he still dares to drink it?]

Qin Tian gave Pan Wusheng a deep look.

"Fellow Daoist Pan truly is out of the ordinary."

Pan Wusheng chuckled. "Haha, Fellow Daoist Qin might not know, but I endured all sorts of hardships in my youth. Let alone Dragon Tea, I've even drunk Dog Tea and Wolf Tea."

Everyone: "..."

Qin Tian was silent for a moment.

"The competition within the Pan Clan is indeed fierce."

Pan Wusheng smiled. "In this vast world, the Pan Clan is but a drifting boat that could capsize at any time."

"Everything I, Pan Wusheng, do is not for the Pan Clan, but for myself."

"The one who came to see Fellow Daoist Qin today was Pan Wusheng, the Young Lord of the Pan Clan, but the one sitting before you now is simply Pan Wusheng."

The corners of Qin Tian's lips curled up. "Fellow Daoist Pan is quite interesting."

"Fellow Daoist Qin is also very interesting."

"Leading the Qin Clan disciples from the Dead Sea to the Sword Burial Heavenly Pool with such fanfare—the entire Ancient Realm of Longevity already knows..."

Pan Wusheng slowly raised his eyes and looked at Qin Xi nearby.

"This must be the Clan Chief of the Dead Sea's Qin Clan..."

Qin Xi took a deep breath.

She already knew from Qin Tian's mouth that the Qin Clan's ancestors had died at the hands of the Pan family...

Perhaps she would have been afraid before, but with Qin Tian here now, she wasn't afraid at all...

Qin Xi gave a cold snort, making no attempt to hide her rejection.

Qin Tian said indifferently, "Yes."

"However, she is also my, Qin Tian's, younger sister."

Pan Wusheng paused slightly.

"I see."

"Fellow Daoist Pan, the pleasantries should end here."

Pan Wusheng smiled faintly. "I have come for two things."

"First, representing the Pan family, I am willing to resolve the grievances with the Qin Clan."

Hearing this, Qin Tian's voice turned cold.

"Resolve the grievances?"

"Your word doesn't count."

"If you really want to resolve it, have Pan Ye come personally!"

There was no surprise on Pan Wusheng's face.

"Fellow Daoist Qin is indeed as bold as the rumors say, even daring to address the Ancient Ancestor by name."

"Presumably, the Ancient Ancestor has already sensed it by now."

The corners of Qin Tian's lips curled up. "Pity. Hearing it is one thing, but he still doesn't dare to show himself."

"The thoughts of an Ancient Ancestor are not for us to speculate. It's better for Fellow Daoist Qin to say less," Pan Wusheng laughed. "It seems this first matter has failed."

"There is another matter I hope Fellow Daoist Qin can agree to."

"What is it?"

"I wish to make a friend of Fellow Daoist Qin. There is a gathering at Lingmeng Mountain in a hundred days; I hope Fellow Daoist Qin can attend."

As his voice fell, Pan Wusheng slowly handed over a Jade Slip.

It was an invitation.

"A gathering?"

"Why do you think I would be interested?"

Pan Wusheng said indifferently, "This is a gathering of Hidden Ancient Clans that have existed since ancient times, much like the Pan Clan. Among them are no shortage of former friends of the Qin Clan."

"As well as some news that cannot be obtained outside..."

Qin Tian paused slightly.

"Hidden Ancient Clans... if I have time, I will go take a look."

He accepted the invitation.

Pan Wusheng smiled slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Qin is somewhat different from what I imagined."

"Being friends with Fellow Daoist Qin is more interesting than I expected."

"I shall take my leave."

Pan Wusheng slowly stood up and floated away.

"This person is unfathomable. I cannot see through him; be careful."

Snow Princess's expression was grave.

Just now, her Divine Thought had been fixed on Pan Wusheng, but she had gained nothing.

Ling Su spoke up quietly.

"I just performed a divination. This fellow named Pan Wusheng is ethereal and illusory; no trace of him can be found."

Qin Tian gave a light sigh.

"It seems the Pan family is harder to deal with than imagined."

"Lingmeng Mountain—are you truly going?" Snow Princess asked curiously.

"I'm going."

"The invitation has been delivered to my door; I cannot be too cowardly to go."

No one knew of Wa's departure except for Ancient Ancestor Zangjian and Yun Xi.

If Qin Tian showed any sign of weakness, those Immortal Kings, with their experience and methods, would naturally be able to guess it.

At that time, the real trouble would begin.

It was very clear.

Lingmeng Mountain was a test for him by the alliance of Hidden Ancient Clans.

As for what the reason was, it was not yet known, but there was certainly some ulterior motive.

Qin Tian smiled.

A test?

He might as well take the opportunity to probe the secrets of the Hidden Ancient Clans...

However.

Before that.

He needed to first settle the people of the Qin Clan...

He raised his eyes, his Divine Thought probing into the distance.

There lay a continuous range of snow-capped mountains.

And atop those snowy peaks was the bone-chilling Sword Burial Heavenly Pool...!
