Chapter 1589 - 1484: Stirring Up a Major Incident

"Little wretch! Why aren’t you arrogant now?"

At this moment, Daoist Shan Xu pointed a finger at Qin Hao’s face.

Crack!

Qin Hao’s face pressed against the ground, deformed, and continuously rubbed against it, as if being firmly stomped by a foot.

Humiliation!

At this moment, Qin Hao experienced unprecedented humiliation.

He angrily wanted to immediately consume Daoist Shan Xu’s flesh and blood.

But, overwhelmed by pressure, he couldn’t speak and could only glare at Daoist Shan Xu with blood-red eyes.

This Qin Hao had already been humiliated to this extent, yet he still dared to threaten me with his gaze?

Daoist Shan Xu felt his dignity challenged by an ant and, in his extreme anger, shouted, "Die!"

After the words, he resolved to kill, abandoning the idea of torturing Qin Hao and planning to kill this ant with a single blow.

The next moment.

Boom!

An explosion sounded from the ceiling of the cave.

Huge rocks and sand fell abruptly.

As the ground shook and the mountains swayed, Daoist Shan Xu abruptly looked up.

A giant hole appeared there, as if eroded by a bomb.

Above the hole, a person stood, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and sighed, "Finally found it."

This person’s scholar attire, with a face full of calmness, did not seem like someone who rushed here but rather like a traveler weary from a journey.

But upon seeing this person, Daoist Shan Xu’s pupils contracted, and Qin Hao shuddered, revealing a look of joy on his face.

Ji Xinhu!

The mentor is here!

"Daoist Shan Xu, your movements seem rather unsteady, don’t they?"

At the cave entrance, Ji Xinhu’s face showed a hint of mockery: "I thought my foolish apprentice was dead, gone with the Dao, yet surprisingly, you haven’t dealt with him yet. What’s wrong with you evil sect people lately?"

"Ji Xinhu..." Daoist Shan Xu’s expression returned to being gloomy, "Don’t mock me. Even if you can follow me here, so what? Do you think you can defeat me?"

"I cannot." Ji Xinhu said calmly: "You, being my elder, even with two people combined might not be able to kill you. But."

Having spoken, he took out a talisman and crushed it without saying a word.

Whoosh!

The talisman turned into countless streams of light flying skyward, lighting the sky completely, very conspicuous.

Ji Xinhu added, "But, I have reinforcements."

Daoist Shan Xu remained silent, his hand hidden behind him kept trembling.

At this moment, he wanted desperately to kill Ji Xinhu and Qin Hao.

Yet he understood that he currently lacked the strength.

After all, Ji Xinhu was the youngest high-level member of the Huashan Sect, with endless means and trump cards.

Even if he could kill him, it would take a lot of effort and he might suffer minor injuries.

Such a duration was long enough for the Huashan Sect members to arrive.

"Ji Xinhu, I’ll remember you!"

Daoist Shan Xu coldly shouted, black flames burned on his hands and feet, slowly turning into smoke and dissipating.

"Hmm, Daoist Shan Xu, are you leaving now?" Ji Xinhu looked surprised: "Another Secret Technique, you are quite deeply hidden!"

These trivial sentences almost caused Daoist Shan Xu to faint from anger.

He stared at Ji Xinhu, "The future is long!"

After saying this, he glared fiercely at Qin Hao, "You and your mentor will die at my hands in the near future!"

Next moment.

Whoosh!

His entire body was completely engulfed by flames, turning into thick smoke and disappearing in place.

"So he’s leaving, how boring."

Witnessing Daoist Shan Xu’s disappearance, Ji Xinhu casually threw out a comment and then jumped down from the mountaintop.

After landing softly, Ji Xinhu looked at Qin Hao lying on the ground, "Can you stand up?"

"I cannot..." Qin Hao said painfully.

"Seriously. He just gave you a beating, need you be so miserable?"

Ji Xinhu helplessly helped Qin Hao up from the ground with one hand, patted the dust off him, and said, "You worry me yet again."

"Mentor... Can you really blame me for this..." Qin Hao complained, his face swollen.

Ji Xinhu helplessly stared at Qin Hao, "You truly are a worldly Demon Star, causing trouble wherever you go."

"Is it my fault..." Qin Hao rubbed his swollen face, sighed, "That old guy hits really hard, my half body is almost useless now."

"Haha... is this hard already?" Ji Xinhu raised an eyebrow slightly, "I’m afraid it’ll be even harder in the future."

"Mentor, what do you mean by this?" Qin Hao raised his eyebrows.

"Didn’t you see how Daoist Shan Xu left?"

"I saw, he hates us to the bone." Qin Hao subconsciously felt cold.

"Thus," Ji Xinhu said calmly, "That old guy used so many Secret Techniques in a row, he likely doesn’t have long to live. Do you think he’ll wait calmly for death?"

"No." Qin Hao subconsciously shook his head.

"So, he’ll definitely seek revenge madly by then. When the time comes, the two of us will certainly be his top revenge targets."

Ji Xinhu sighed slightly, his tone carrying melancholic solemnity.

Qin Hao felt his spine go cold, his heart too chilled considerably.

According to the mentor, that old guy’s revenge was indeed true?

Damn, with my current strength, if the old guy comes to kill again, what can be done?

For the first time in his life, Qin Hao felt his strength inadequate. He planned to quickly enhance his skills.

"Mentor, if that day truly comes, won’t you protect me?" Forced by circumstance, Qin Hao began playing the emotional card.

Ji Xinhu glared at him, "What are you saying? I’m barely able to protect myself, how can I spare the time to care for you?"

"Mentor, you..." Qin Hao was speechless.

He realized then, Ji Xinhu was also a "shameless person."

As expected, people of similar kinds gather, just like his mentor!

"Let’s go back to the sect."

Ji Xinhu left a phrase before grabbing Qin Hao’s arm, and the two soared into the sky.

While flying, Qin Hao couldn’t help but ask, "Aren’t you going to chase that old guy?"

"Chase? That old guy exhausted his blood to use Secret Techniques, what do I have to chase?"

Ji Xinhu showed a helpless expression, "Plus, even if I catch up, I can’t beat him."

"Alright then..."

Through this interaction, Qin Hao realized his mentor also had a nonchalant side.

"By the way, Mentor, was that a flare you sent up? Aren’t we waiting here for the senior brothers to arrive?"

"Wait for what? Ji Xinhu casually said, "Because too many died in Kang City, the Inner Sect can’t withstand outside pressure, intending to wage war with Wuji Sect, they’re all advancing towards Jing Province, upper echelon, and disciples alike, who has the time to care about us?"

"Huh?" Qin Hao was already dumbfounded. Sect war? Cultivators war?

Did I accidentally cause another major event?
