Chapter 1313: Chapter 1312: Reunion with the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion
"Are these people from the True Essence Sect?"
"That’s right, the young man leading them is He Zhan, the top young prodigy of the True Essence Sect."
"Why are the people from the True Essence Sect blocking them? It doesn’t seem like they’re about to fight; do they know each other?"
He Zhan from the True Essence Sect took a few steps forward and looked at Su Xuanji next to Qin Hao: "May I ask this young lady’s surname? Which force do you come from? My name is He Zhan, a disciple of the True Essence Sect. I would like to get to know you."
Su Xuanji looked at He Zhan and smiled faintly: "Young Master He is a top prodigy of the True Essence Sect. I’m just a mere Loose Cultivator and wouldn’t dare to aim too high. I fear mentioning my name might bring shame to Young Master He."
Hearing her words, He Zhan was momentarily stunned. He was a smart person and understood Su Xuanji’s implication.
"In that case, never mind. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, you can find me." As a top prodigy of a top force, He Zhan had his pride and dignity. Even if Su Xuanji was an extraordinarily beautiful woman, he wouldn’t do anything that would tarnish his reputation.
After all, he was a top prodigy on the Central Continent, adored by countless women. How could he stoop to servility for Su Xuanji?
After speaking, He Zhan turned and left. As he turned, a shadow passed through his eyes.
The people from the True Essence Sect hadn’t left yet when a voice suddenly came from outside the square: "You have some nerve to kill someone from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and still dare to step into the Ancient God City, seeking death."
Before the words settled, dozens of people appeared on the square, blocking Qin Hao and the others.
Everyone witnessing this scene was slightly stunned. Are these the powerhouses from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?
"Did the powerhouses from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion just say these people killed someone from their pavilion? Damn, that’s a huge audacity, isn’t it?"
"The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is a top-tier force; most importantly, their intelligence-gathering ability is too strong. They can find you even if you flee to the ends of the earth. You would rather offend other top forces than the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and Guiyuan Pavilion."
"These people are too bold. They killed someone from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and still dared to come to the Ancient God City. What were they thinking?"
"If they dare to kill someone from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, their background must be extraordinary, right? Otherwise, where did they get the courage to kill someone from the pavilion?"
"Even if they have a background, I fear their backing force wouldn’t offend the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion for them. Across the entire continent, only the Xingyue Palace dares to confront the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion; other top forces have to retreat three paces."
...
Seeing the people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and hearing the discussions around him, Qin Hao felt a premonition of bad news. Can one really fight freely within the Ancient God City??
On the Central Continent, martial culture flourishes. Generally, in regions governed by certain dynasties, fighting is not allowed within the city. However, there are many cities where fighting is permissible. If something is damaged, it must be compensated several times over.
The Ancient God City was one such place where fighting was allowed. Even if those top dynasties and top-notch forces wanted to make a move, those top dynasties wouldn’t intervene. Those rules were only meant for Loose Cultivators or those with weak strength.
Once you reach a certain level of strength, some rules no longer apply to you because you have that capability.
Qin Hao was both delaying time and sending a message to Wei Hanxian. Without calling for reinforcements, they’re afraid they wouldn’t be a match for these Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion experts.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had five Supreme Realm experts this time, along with several Void-breaking Realm and Mahayana Realm cultivators.
If a fight broke out, in everyone’s view, it would be a total overwhelming scenario.
Qin Hao, Ning Ziyuan, and others exchanged glances, feeling a hint of ominous foreboding.
"Your Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, for selfish reasons, is hunting the Ancient Giant Clan. Do you think that’s something a top force should do?" Qin Hao’s tone was stern, without backing down, questioning the people of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
Those around immediately understood what was happening.
The people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion were hunting the Ancient Giant Clan; then, these few people intervened and brought those from the Ancient Giant Clan to the Ancient God City.
For many, they agreed with Qin Hao’s actions, but on the Hidden Dragon Continent, strength is revered. Overflowing sympathy would only harm oneself, especially against the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, which should never be offended.
Qin Hao’s act of saving the Yu Ming Tribe wasn’t out of overflowing sympathy; he had his own ideas and plans.
Because he had a system, he could restore the Ancient Giant Clan to the glory of the Ancient Witch Clan and make the Ancient Giant Clan the most powerful existence.
This would greatly aid him, as the Ancient Giant Clan would become one of his trump cards in avenging against those top forces.
...
The powerhouses from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion scoffed disdainfully at Qin Hao’s words: "Does my Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion need your approval? Attack, kill all of them, and take away the people from the Ancient Giant Clan."
In an instant, five Supreme Realm experts moved. They knew Qin Hao and his group were incredibly strong, so they attacked altogether, not giving Qin Hao’s group any chance to breathe.
At this moment, a black figure suddenly flew out of Qin Hao’s body, and a dragon’s roar echoed in the sky, spreading throughout Ancient God City.
A black true dragon... no, to be precise, it was a black flood dragon, although it was evolving towards a true dragon, it still had a significant gap.
"Roar"
The black flood dragon roared and thrashed in the air. It had long since broken into the Supreme Realm, but without Qin Hao’s order, it couldn’t come out. Now that it was finally free, it wanted to entertain itself a bit.
But it soon realized something was amiss, as several Supreme Realm experts were staring at it.
It descended from the sky, reducing its size to only two meters: "Master, what’s going on?"
"Xiaohei, it’s time to test your combat strength. Opposite are five First-Order Supreme Realm cultivators; you go deal with them," Qin Hao told the black flood dragon.
The black flood dragon was taken aback. Five First-Order Supreme Realm cultivators?? I can handle three with confidence, but isn’t five a bit too much?
"Master, isn’t five too many?"
Qin Hao: "If you can kill these five, I’ll reward you with three drops of true dragon essence blood."
"Whoosh"
On hearing this, the black flood dragon’s eyes immediately lit up. It roared and charged towards the five Supreme Realm cultivators from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
"A Supreme Realm black flood dragon, damn, does that young man really have a Supreme Realm steed? That’s unbelievable."
"This black flood dragon has the potential to evolve into a true dragon. Its combat power is not something that same-level cultivators can withstand."
"Terrifying, truly terrifying. These people’s origins are definitely not simple."
The expert from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion squinted: "Do you think this will save you from death? Impossible."
After saying this, he released his aura, and the breath of a Second-Order Supreme Realm expert spread out, overwhelmingly terrifying. People around retreated, their eyes filled with shock.
