A terrifying figure stepped through the sky and descended at the entrance of the grand hall.
Clad in a black robe, his dark eyes were piercingly sharp, and his aged face was heavily lined with deep wrinkles.
A head of white hair fluttered in the wind, and his entire body radiated an endless, murderous aura.
With a single step he took, the ground shook and the mountains trembled within the hall!
The crowd was absolutely terrified. Looking at the horrific figure outside the hall, they trembled all over, their faces pale with shock!
The eyes of the Demon Empress of Qing and Kublai nearly popped out of their sockets!
The Demon Empress of Qing abruptly stood up, pointed a trembling finger at the old man outside, and asked with a quivering voice,
"Who... who exactly are you!"
"Men! Come quickly and protect the Empress!"
She felt the extremely terrifying oppressive force radiating from him!
Her heart was filled with panic.
Clatter!
A large group of Imperial Guards rushed into the hall, completely surrounding the black-robed elder!
Swish, swish, swish!
The generals drew their curved blades, glaring at the black-robed elder like tigers watching their prey.
"Hahahaha..."
The black-robed elder threw his head back and laughed heartily, a gust of wind tossing his beard into disarray.
He swept his gaze around and shouted coldly,
"A bunch of ants! Get lost!"
Those few indifferent words carried an endless, overbearing pressure.
Boom!
The space within the hall seemed unable to withstand that monstrous pressure and collapsed on the spot!
Waves of air rippled outward!
The Imperial Guards bearing the brunt of the impact were sent flying backward like weeds. While still in mid-air, they spat out fresh blood, their bones and sinews shattered to pieces!
In an instant, all the tables and chairs in the grand hall were pulverized into fine dust!
Three royal court generals spat blood and retreated.
The hall was left in complete ruins!
The entire room was horrified!
Everyone stared in absolute terror at the mountain-like figure at the entrance!
Their bodies went ice-cold as if plunged into a freezing abyss!
They could not stop their legs from trembling, shivering uncontrollably!
The Demon Empress of Qing's eyes were filled with horror, staring in disbelief at the figure at the door.
"Oboi! Go kill him at once!"
She shrieked.
As the number one general of the Qing Dynasty, Oboi possessed peerless martial arts, his cultivation having reached the realm of a Martial Sage.
If he made a move, he would surely be able to slay the black-robed elder!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Oboi's eyes were cold. Acknowledging the order, he hefted his long spear and charged straight toward the entrance!
"Insolent! How dare you show off your strength here in my Great Qing? You must be tired of living!"
Oboi roared furiously, brandishing his spear and thrusting it at the black-robed elder.
Wherever the spear passed, the void exploded!
A destructive surge of vital energy shot forth, suffocating the onlookers!
"Get lost!"
The black-robed elder's gaze was sharp and cold. He raised his right hand, and his five emaciated, twig-like fingers flicked outward!
Crackle, crackle!
In an instant, he crushed the long spear into powder!
"Pfft!"
Oboi opened his mouth and spewed out a large mouthful of bloody water. Sent flying mid-air, he crashed heavily to the ground, his aura wilting.
The black-robed elder turned around and looked at the panic-stricken Demon Empress of Qing.
A mocking smirk curled on his lips:
"Weren't you looking for this old man? Now that I am here, why have you grown so afraid?"
This single sentence directly revealed his identity.
"You... you are... the one who came out of the Forbidden Grounds..."
The Demon Empress of Qing's pupils shrank violently!
Kublai's entire body trembled violently as well.
Only Wanyan Aguda acted as if he had known all along, cupping his hands slightly toward the black-robed elder.
"Senior Qin's strength reaches the heavens, I am in utmost awe!"
That single move just now was enough to prove the black-robed elder's power!
He was at least at the Martial God realm!
Qin Feihe swept his gaze over Wanyan Aguda and said indifferently, "Have you found the descendant of the Qin clan?"
He did not waste words, getting straight to the point.
"Indeed! We have found him!"
Wanyan Aguda nodded.
"This man is named Qin Xiao, a descendant of the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty from a thousand years ago. He has now established the State of Qin, ranking among the seven great powers!"
"Qin Xiao's strength is unfathomable; he is at the Martial God realm!"
Hearing this, Qin Feihe narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Martial God realm? To think that this desolate world could actually give birth to a Martial God. How truly interesting!"
"However, it is merely a Martial God. This old man still does not put him in my eyes!"
His cloudy eyes were filled with amusement.
He never expected to encounter something so interesting upon coming out this time.
Wanyan Aguda took two steps closer, arriving before Qin Feihe, and hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Senior Qin, your surname is also Qin. Could it be that you and that Qin Xiao..."
Qin Feihe smiled faintly and raised a hand to interrupt him:
"This old man is a member of the Imperial Clan, the very same Great Qin Imperial Dynasty from a thousand years ago that you speak of!"
The moment these words came out.
It shocked the crowd into retreating again and again.
Even Wanyan Aguda, who had calculated everything, felt his pupils shrink.
He never expected that the person before him actually shared a bloodline connection with Qin Xiao!
He couldn't help but take two steps back, putting some distance between himself and this man.
He was deeply afraid that the other party would suddenly violently attack.
Qin Feihe's profound gaze swept over the crowd, and he suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, this old man is not here to help Qin Xiao, but to take Qin Xiao away."
His gaze turned back to Wanyan Aguda.
"My word is worth a thousand pieces of gold. I will naturally fulfill what I promised you."
"All this old man wants is Qin Xiao. As for the territories of Great Qin, I have no interest in them."
"Whether you kill them all or slaughter them to the last man, it has nothing to do with me!"
From the very beginning, he had come solely for the descendant of Great Qin.
As for the life or death of the current State of Qin, it mattered nothing to him.
His mission was to find the descendant of Great Qin and bring him back to the Great Qin Imperial Clan.
"I never imagined that when it was my turn to step out of the Forbidden Grounds, I would encounter a genius rarely seen in a thousand years! It is truly the will of Heaven!"
A brilliant light gleamed in Qin Feihe's eyes, and a hint of excitement flickered deep within them.
If he were to bring Qin Xiao back, the Imperial Clan would definitely reward him heavily!
"Once I return to the Imperial Clan this time, this old man can also break through to the Martial Immortal realm!"
He was originally at the peak of the Martial God realm, growing old and decrepit, his lifespan nearing its end. He thought his life would just pass by like this.
He didn't expect to actually encounter a descendant of Great Qin.
And a genius at that!
At this moment.
The Demon Empress of Qing spoke slowly.
"Senior Qin, since you and Qin Xiao belong to the same clan, why do you want to take him away instead of helping him unify the world?"
This was her doubt.
It was also her apprehension.
They were clearly both people of Great Qin, so why did the other party want to take Qin Xiao away?
If he took Qin Xiao back to nurture him, and Qin Xiao rose to power in the future, wouldn't they be in danger?
"People of the same clan?" Qin Feihe laughed with extreme mockery. "A mere descendant of the Qin clan from a barbaric wasteland is worthy of being called the Imperial Clan alongside this old man?"
"They are nothing but a bunch of bastards with inferior bloodlines! They do not deserve to be called my clansmen!"
His words directly made his attitude clear.
His language was extremely vicious.
It was as if he stood high above, while Qin Xiao was nothing more than an ant with a lowly bloodline!
With this, everyone finally let their hearts settle back into their stomachs.
Their attitude toward Qin Feihe also became enthusiastic.
Qin Feihe swept his gaze over the Demon Empress of Qing and the other two, saying indifferently:
"When you attack the State of Qin and face Qin Xiao in the final battle, this old man will make a move to help you suppress him!"
"As for everything else, this old man will not participate at all!"
Having said that.
Qin Feihe turned around, transformed into a streak of flowing light, and disappeared.
The three of them watched the retreating back of Qin Feihe, looked at each other, and all saw the look of wild ecstasy in one another's eyes!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter.
