Chapter 397

And on the other side, the two remaining rebels had already been spun into tops by Li Lun, they had originally been struck by Shen Qing with a Supreme Lotus, and they were not in full strength to begin with.

Not long after, the two rebels were blown to bits, the Supreme Power scattered across the ground—it was Destructive Power and Extinction Power, better than nothing. In any case, Shen Qing turns away no one; he simply takes everything that comes his way.

After absorbing the Supreme Power, Xu Luo and Ma Xiu had already come to Shen Qing's side, standing straight.

Shen Qing glanced at Ma Xiu.

"You're Ma Xiu, right?"

Ma Xiu nodded: "Reporting, Master, my full name is Ma Xiu Williams."

Shen Qing waved his hand: "Fine, your subsequent task is also simple; you return to the Heaven Defiers and cooperate with Xu Luo in action."

"Don't let them go again to the world where Xu Yun died; this time, push all the deaths onto the Heavenly Dao's head. After returning, don't mention Primordial Mountain, don't mention me, just blend in normally among them; if you get any important news, remember to inform me. Understood?"

Ma Xiu stood at attention, performed a salute: "Ma Xiu guarantees to complete the mission."

Shen Qing nodded: "Right, you just said your wife was killed by the Heavenly Dao; which Heavenly Dao did it?"

Ma Xiu's face sank: "Remember, it was a Heavenly Dao of Extinction Power; he comprehended the Extinction Power Domain and called himself Shen Yen; I will never forget him in this lifetime."

"Alright, Shen Yen, got it. Do your best; if there's a chance, I'll help you get revenge."

Ma Xiu staggered: "This... this... I will definitely go undercover in the Heaven Defiers! Gather as much information as possible!"

If Ma Xiu's words just now were mostly due to the Soul Seal's binding, then his current words are sincere.

To be honest, Ma Xiu has also lived many years; he also knows that Shen Qing's words are likely just pleasantries, painting a pie.

But Ma Xiu doesn't care anymore, just as he said just now; this Shen Yen comprehended the Extinction Power Domain, and if relying on himself alone, even countless ages might not be enough to achieve revenge.

But Shen Qing is different; Shen Qing now holds two supreme power domains.

So, even if Shen Qing's words just now were empty promises, that still let Ma Xiu see hope for revenge!

Furthermore, having been implanted with a soul seal by Shen Qing, he now has no way to retreat.

It would be better to just go all out.

Shen Qing waved his hand: "Alright, the remaining two details, you two decide among yourselves; I'm heading back first."

Shen Qing also couldn't be bothered to say more to them; if they can't even conceal the truth to protect themselves, they might as well die, and Shen Qing doesn't expect them to dig up any information either.

"Li Lun, let's go."

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

Shen Qing had already returned to the Heaven-defiers' base.

He coincidentally met Shen Wenda walking out of the Classics Space, and Shen Wenda also saw Shen Qing.

"Hey, Shen Qing, you're back."

The two exchanged a few brief greetings.

But in the consciousness network, they said something else: "How is the situation this time? Have you found the Primordial Mountain you were looking for?"

"Yes."

"Moreover, there's also a significant discovery."

Shen Qing gave a rough account of what happened on Primordial Mountain, but still concealed some details, since the matter involving the Primordial Elder was too serious—the fewer who know, the better.

The mysterious giant beast that gave Shen Qing its scales is locked up here by the Heaven-defiers, and the beast seems closely related to the Primordial Elder—does that mean the Heaven-defiers organization is actually hostile toward the Primordial Elder?

Shen Qing said: "Old Ancestor, how is your new path going? Any new discoveries?"

Speaking of this, Shen Wenda got a bit excited: "Yes, without saying anything else, just from the perspective of the new path, the Heaven-defiers really came at the right time."

"Ling's new path is indeed impressive, giving me and Lao Wu much inspiration; moreover, the Classics Space contains many records about the new path, many of which we never even imagined."

"Give me and Lao Wu some more time—this won't take long—and we'll be able to fully complete our new path!"

After arriving in the third-layer world, Shen Qing had basically figured it out.

After the Earthly Immortal realm, that is, after the Divine Realm, cultivators have no set path left; they can only each grope for their own new path.

The new path is hard to walk; everyone is crossing the river by feeling for stones.

Moreover, while in the Classics Space earlier, Shen Qing had also read the history of the third-layer world; over countless ages, absolutely many have managed to complete the new path.

Furthermore, judging by the strength of the new path of Martial Emperor Shen Wenda, the Old Ancestor, if the two of them complete the new path, they will definitely be far stronger than those who have merely grasped a common supreme power domain.

Shen Qing said: "Alright, Old Ancestor, keep cultivating; I'll spend this time gathering more intel and doing some things."

After speaking, the two were about to part ways, and Shen Qing said: "By the way, Old Ancestor, don't get too close to Ling or other Heaven-defiers; I feel the Heaven-defiers aren't quite right."

Shen Wenda gave a slight smile, somewhat annoyed: "You're lecturing me again; really, you can rest assured about me and Lao Wu handling things."

Shen Qing also thought, the Martial Emperor Shen Wenda, the Old Ancestor's Martial Emperor Shen Wenda, no matter how you say it, has sat at the pinnacle of the Great Martial power for a thousand years, also having climbed up from the bottom step by step; trying to deceive the two of them really isn't that easy.

Thinking of that, Shen Qing also felt relieved.

Shen Qing looked toward the Heaven-Overturning Tower.

Then let's have fun with it.

In the dim third-layer world, a corner.

The snake-person She Si and the elf maiden Anna gathered here.

Anna spoke first: "Second brother, why did you hastily summon me? I was originally planning to do a long retreat."

Ever since she personally witnessed Shen Qing's breakthrough, Anna has completely given up on revenge; now she just wants to fade from Shen Qing's sight.

She Si flicked his tongue, his voice low and hoarse, full of hatred: "Long retreat? What about the eldest brother's grudge?"

Anna spread her hands helplessly: "The problem is, we don't have that strength; blind revenge would only get us both killed."

"We might as well just hide."

She Si's eyes grew dark: "What you say is correct; we don't have that strength, and beside Shen Qing there are two even stronger people."

Anna said: "Then that's fine; which one should we fight? Why bother to throw eggs at stones? In my opinion, second brother you..."

She Si directly cut off Anna's words: "That's right, we can't beat them, but someone can, and he wants to make a move on Shen Qing."

Anna's face full of doubt: "Who?"

She Si said, word by word: "Heavenly Dao."

Anna stood up directly: "Heavenly Dao? How could you be in contact with them?"

"Is it you who contacted them, or them who contacted you!"

She Si gave a cold laugh: "It was them who contacted me; a Living Heavenly Dao has recently been inquiring about Shen Qing's news."

Anna directly grabbed She Si's arm.

"Big brother is already gone! I'm also very sad! But second brother, you can't act recklessly either!"

"Heavenly Dao is untrustworthy! In their eyes we are all ants! And even if this succeeds, Heavenly Dao kills Shen Qing—then what?"

"Will the Heaven-defiers still take us in? Or do you think Heavenly Dao would take us in?"

She Si flung off Anna's arm: "You don't need to persuade me; my mind is made up!"

"I certainly know Heavenly Dao is using me, but how am I not also using them?"

"Anna, just speak up! Are you coming or not?"

Anna remained silent for a moment, then said: "Come."

She Si laughed: "You really are my good younger sister!"

"Then just wait for my news; I'm going to look for Heavenly Dao."

Having said that, She Si flew off into the distance.

Meanwhile Anna stood where she was, and only after a long time did she angrily shout.

"Everyone acting without thinking! An idiot who rushes to seize the power of karma without knowing the details! And a fool who, knowing the details, still dares to go to his death!"

"Whether success or failure, it's a situation where death is certain."

"Come? Come on, you idiot!"
