"Did you get the permission of my Jiang family before touching our son-in-law?"
Just as Qi Tianhong was calculating whether a head-on clash with Ji Lie and the others could capture Qin Hao and his group, a leisurely voice drifted over. Soon, the void behind Qi Tianhong and his men tore open, and over a dozen figures appeared.
The First Ancestor of the Jiang Family had arrived with more than a dozen Jiang family ancestors as reinforcements.
Qi Tianhong spun around abruptly. When he saw the Jiang family ancestors, his pupils shrank to the extreme. They still had the strength to fight Ji Lie and those Immortal Kings of the Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan, but if the Jiang family was added to the mix...
"Hasn't the relationship between your Jiang family and the Qin family always been poor? Why are you coming to help him?"
The First Ancestor of the Jiang Family smiled. "No matter how bad our relationship is, that is a matter between us. Now that the Three Realms and Nine Heavens are facing a mutual crisis, only unpresentable things like you would think of infighting."
"Besides, Qin Hao is the son-in-law of my Jiang family. If someone wants to lay a hand on him, how could my Jiang family sit idly by?"
Qi Tianhong's mouth twitched. Son-in-law, another son-in-law! Just how many wives had this Qin Hao married? The Emperor of the Myriad Demon Kingdom was his father-in-law, and now the Jiang family also claimed him as their son-in-law. Had this kid married into all the top factions of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens?
Hearing the words of the First Ancestor of the Jiang Family, the corners of Qin Hao's mouth curled up slightly. Living off women was already an invincible path; eating from more bowls just meant having more paths. He didn't have any other special traits, except for having a lot of Dao Companions, and there was no shortage of those with noble statuses among them.
"Let's go!" Qi Tianhong's voice was hoarse. He cast an unwilling glance at Qin Hao before leading his men away.
Seeing this, the Jiang family and Ji Lie did not pursue them. The opposing side had three Immortal Emperors and ten Immortal Kings. With such a lineup, even if they could kill them, they would have to pay an enormous price.
They only needed to protect Qin Hao's safety. As for revenge, the Qin family naturally wouldn't let the Qi family off once they returned.
Ji Lie slowly walked up to Qin Hao. "Kid, what are you doing here in the Immortal Ancient Battlefield? Could it be that you have a way to open the passage between the two worlds?"
Qin Hao nodded and then pushed Lin Bei forward. "He has a way."
Qin Hao did not notice that Ao Yu beside him was glaring at Lin Bei with an unkind expression. Damn it! Since when did my big brother have another man by his side? No, I must be the only man by his side.
Ji Lie and the First Ancestor of the Jiang Family looked at Lin Bei with great interest before asking, "Little child, what method do you have to open the passage between these two worlds?"
Lin Bei took out the Kunlun Mirror. "This mirror of mine can open spatial rifts. It might be able to open the passage between the two worlds."
Before he could even finish speaking, the Kunlun Mirror in Lin Bei's hands was snatched away by Ji Lie. Ji Lie didn't waste any words and directly began to channel his full power into the Kunlun Mirror.
The Kunlun Mirror trembled violently in Ji Lie's hands, the light on its surface growing brighter and brighter. As Ji Lie continuously injected his spiritual energy, the light on the mirror's surface instantly exploded, transforming into a thick golden pillar of light that blasted toward the rift sealed by the blood-red barrier.
Boom!!!
The void was collapsing, time was twisting, and space was shattering. The Kunlun Mirror did not break through the seal of the blood-red barrier; instead, it directly opened another passage right next to it.
"It actually works!" Ji Lie raised an eyebrow, glanced at Lin Bei, and then returned the Kunlun Mirror to him.
"The passage has been opened. Let's go, we will cross over and bring back your Qin family ancestors as well as Ao Bing."
Qin Hao cupped his hands toward Ji Lie and the First Ancestor of the Jiang Family, saying to them, "I won't go. You guys take Lin Bei with you. I want to stay here at the boundary of the two worlds."
Qin Hao wanted to find Liu Ruyan. Right now, Liu Ruyan was slumbering at the boundary of these two worlds. His wife Ruyan was a Ninth-life Immortal Emperor with exceedingly high combat prowess, having slaughtered her way through the foreign realm all by herself. If she awakened, she would serve as a life-saving trump card for the entire Three Realms and Nine Heavens.
"Alright, it's not like you'd be of much use if you went anyway. The main useful thing is the mirror in this guy's hands."
Having said that, Ji Lie and the First Ancestor of the Jiang Family, along with the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors behind them, took Lin Bei and left.
Meanwhile, Qin Hao went through the space-time rift opened by Lin Bei and entered the boundary between the two worlds together with Shen Suning and the others.
"Haohao, I can understand the Jiang family saying you are their son-in-law, but why did you call the Emperor of the Myriad Demon Kingdom your father-in-law? You won't even spare demonic beasts?"
"Cough, cough, cough..." Qin Hao choked on Shen Suning's words, coughing repeatedly. What did she mean he wouldn't even spare demonic beasts? It wasn't like they couldn't take human form. The way she said it made it sound like he had some sort of special fetish.
Shen Suning linked her arm through Qin Hao's, resting her head gently against his shoulder.
"I don't mind, you know. No matter what, you will always be my most beloved Haohao."
Qin Hao wanted to say something, but ultimately could only let out a deep sigh. Forget it, saying anything would be useless; she would just fill in the blanks with her own imagination anyway.
Qin Hao held Shen Suning's hand, while Ah Long and Ah Hu guarded their left and right flanks.
"Haohao, this place is so eerie." Shen Suning's voice was very soft, carrying a trace of imperceptible nervousness.
Qin Hao gently patted the back of Shen Suning's hand. "It's fine. As long as we find Ruyan, everything will be okay."
Just as they were speaking, Qin Hao sensed something approaching in the darkness. Qin Hao activated his Dual Pupils and saw corpses densely packed, countless corpses.
The armor on these corpses had already rotted away, and the weapons in their hands were broken. Yet even so, the residual auras on these figures still made Qin Hao and the others feel a sense of dread.
"Lord Emperor Son! Before these people died, they had at least reached the cultivation of the Immortal Lord realm, and there is no shortage of Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors among them!"
"These people may be dead, but they are still alive in a way. These corpses still retain their lingering obsessions from when they were alive!"
Just as Ah Long finished speaking, several corpses lunged toward Qin Hao and his group. Shen Suning swung her sword, and several corpses exploded on the spot.
"Hmph, if you were still alive I might fear you a little, but since you are all dead, just stay dead obediently."
Crack, crack, crack... The sound of bones grinding against each other echoed from all directions, like an army awakening from its slumber. The corpses floating in the void stood up one after another.
Green flames burned brightly within them, and their hollow eye sockets all turned to look at Qin Hao's group of four in unison, as if looking at a delicious meal.
At this sight, even Shen Suning's expression couldn't help but change.
"This is bad. Those few are Immortal Emperors who have grasped complete Great Daos! Immortal Emperors of this caliber, even as mere corpses, possess might no weaker than present-day Immortal Kings."
Shen Suning shielded Qin Hao behind her back, her eyes full of tension.
Right at this moment, a ray of golden light lit up from the depths of the void. Qin Hao only felt that the light was warm and gentle, carrying a power that set one's heart at ease.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
