Chapter 790 790: The World Shakes in Fear!
Agree or die!
This choice was laid before the three Semi-Saints of the Human Emperor Divine Sect, and they only had one chance to choose! If they chose incorrectly, they didn't believe that the man who dominated the world as number one on the Heavenly Ranking would spare them. Therefore, they truly had no other choice. Absolutely none.
"We understand," they said with utmost respect and humility as they bowed deeply to Qin Heng. "We will convey Mr. Xuantian's intentions to the Sect Leader."
"If the Sect Leader of the Human Emperor Divine Sect doesn't come within half a month, I'll personally come to kill you," Qin Heng said indifferently. "Nobody can stop me. You should know that!"
Silence! Utter silence!
Everyone present was stunned. Qin Heng's words were even more outrageous than his previous actions and statements. Was he actually going to personally attack the Human Emperor Divine Sect?! That was an Ancient Divine Sect that had been passed down for who knew how many tens of thousands of years! Even in the current End of Dharma Age, many powerful cultivators and Treasure Weapons lay dormant. Perhaps even the contemporary Sect Leader couldn't awaken them. But if someone attacked their sect head-on, it would be a different matter entirely! Then, indeed, peerless experts from ages past might emerge, sweeping away everything with overwhelming might—something Qin Xuantian couldn't possibly contend with!
Qin Xuantian actually wanted to attack the Human Emperor Divine Sect alone! And to kill! He must be mad! No! This couldn't even be described as madness anymore!
Yet, for the moment, those around didn't know how to describe the situation. They could only stare at Qin Heng in shock, dumbfounded and speechless, their expressions surprisingly uniform.
These three Semi-Saints from the Human Emperor Divine Sect were also stunned by Qin Heng's words. They had never heard of, nor seen, such a madman—one who declared he would attack the Human Emperor Divine Sect. Indeed, they hadn't even contemplated such a thing! Yet, now such a person had truly appeared right before them!
They took a deep breath and said to Qin Heng, "Alright, we will truthfully report Mr. Xuantian's words!"
Secretly, they were sneering. They found Qin Heng overly arrogant, oblivious to the immensity of heaven and earth. He was completely unaware of how powerful the Human Emperor Divine Sect truly was to dare say he would go to their sect and kill them. It was utterly ridiculous!
When we get back, we won't say a word. We'll just stay inside the Human Emperor Divine Sect and not come out. I'd like to see what you, the 'greatest of all time,' can do to us then!
I really don't believe he'd dare attack the Human Emperor Divine Sect. But if he actually does, that's fine by me. Our Divine Sect has existed for tens of thousands of years; we have more than enough ways to destroy him!
Go on then! If you have the guts, just go! Go and get yourself killed! HEH HEH HEH...
These three Semi-Saints of the Human Emperor Divine Sect all mocked Qin Heng in their hearts, thinking he was truly seeking death. They planned to return and act as if nothing had happened, just waiting for Qin Heng to walk into his own doom!
However, outwardly, they remained very respectful towards Qin Heng. After bowing deferentially and bidding farewell, the three Semi-Saints left, flying into the sky. As if escaping, they departed at their fastest speed, seemingly terrified that Qin Heng would change his mind and forcibly keep them there.
Atop the ruins of Tianxing Pavilion, a deathly stillness reigned.
The people who remained all looked at Qin Heng with apprehension, not daring to speak. After all, they had actually been invited by the Lis to deal with Qin Heng. Now, having witnessed his strength, they were scared to the extreme. They didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
"Young Master Qin, so you are the legendary number one on the Heavenly Ranking, the greatest genius of all time, Qin Xuantian!" Yun Xianghong was the first to speak. She looked at Qin Heng naturally, a charming smile on her face, and said, "Thank you for saving me once again, and for saving my master as well." As she spoke, she introduced her master, Yu Mingxia, to Qin Heng.
At that moment, it dawned on everyone else. They quickly knelt, whether they were from families like the Lis or disciples from the major sects; all knelt before Qin Heng. Earlier, these same people had been plotting how to deal with him, but now they were all prostrate! It wasn't for any other reason; it was simply because Qin Heng was strong enough! The strong were respected, and strength was the ultimate truth!
"Thank you, Young Master Qin, for saving our lives!"
"Thank you, Young Master Qin! Without you, this old one would have perished. This is like being granted a second life!"
"Young Master Qin, your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten!"
"From now on, we will follow any command Young Master Qin gives us!"
"That's right! We will follow your every command! Your every command!"
They all admitted defeat! Kneeling on the ground, they thanked Qin Heng with utmost respect and immediately began pledging their loyalty.
This scene left Yun Xianghong dumbfounded. She looked at the people around her with utter surprise, including her own master, Yu Mingxia. It made her feel suddenly disoriented. Their attitudes changed way too quickly!
"From now on, you will follow her commands," Qin Heng pointed to Yun Xianghong and said indifferently. "She is my representative here. Seeing her is like seeing me. Do you understand?"
Qin Heng had no ill feelings toward Yun Xianghong. The young girl had been concerned about him earlier, warned him to be careful, and even risked offending a Semi-Saint of the Human Emperor Divine Sect. That was enough for Qin Heng to value her. The affairs of Yu State were trivial to him; these people combined meant less to him than the Thunder Crystal Stone he had obtained earlier. Entrusting them to Yun Xianghong would save him some effort.
This bombshell stunned Yun Xianghong. She was at a loss, wanting to refuse, but upon meeting Qin Heng's gaze, she found herself utterly unable to speak! An invisible force seemed to bind her, rendering her completely unable to voice any objection!
Yu Mingxia's eyes, however, suddenly lit up with an unprecedented gleam, a hint of ambition even. Her fine figure trembled slightly, and she clenched her fists involuntarily.
The others, however, breathed a sigh of relief. For them, following someone else's command was bearable. This was one of the best possible outcomes—at least they didn't have to die!
"However, it is her will you must follow," Qin Heng suddenly emphasized, his gaze sweeping over everyone, lingering slightly on Yu Mingxia as he added coolly, "Not anyone else's."
Yu Mingxia's complexion instantly turned deathly pale. The light in her eyes dimmed, and she quickly extinguished the flicker of ambition that had just ignited, daring not to indulge in any more wild thoughts.
Qin Heng noticed the change in Yu Mingxia's expression and sneered inwardly. This master of Yun Xianghong's has ambition but lacks ability; she's more likely to cause problems than solve them. It's only natural to warn her first, to prevent her from using Yun Xianghong and misusing the power I've granted for her own schemes.
"Did everyone hear that clearly?!" Qin Heng's voice was deep, carrying a deathly chill.
"At your command!" everyone chorused. Not a single person dared to disobey, all prostrating before Qin Heng in utmost submission!
「November 28th, Yu State!」
Qin Xuantian slew an otherworldly Saint Lord-level deity, subdued all the families and sects within Yu State's urban area, admonished the Human Emperor Divine Sect's three Semi-Saints, and boldly declared his intention to storm the Human Emperor Divine Sect!
The news spread!
The world was shocked!
