Su Changkong smiled and felt quite good as he met acquaintances upon returning to the Great Flame Empire."Is it really Elder Blade? He’s really come back?"
Duanmu Tao couldn’t contain his emotions either.
Years ago, Su Changkong had informed the Xia Yan family that he was departing for the Ancient Holy Country, and now, nearly a decade later, Su Changkong had returned from the Ancient Holy Country!
Seeing Duanmu Tao’s expression, Su Changkong was slightly puzzled, "Lord Duanmu, what are you doing here?"
Su Changkong voiced his confusion, wondering what Duanmu Tao was doing at the Spirit Taoist Sect, especially since he seemed to have been settled here for a while.
Upon hearing Su Changkong’s question, Duanmu Tao immediately looked distressed and urgent, "Elder Blade, I am here under orders to wait for you and to warn you to be careful."
"What has happened?"
Hearing this, Su Changkong’s brow furrowed tightly, and he roughly guessed what might be about.
Recently, because of rumors of a super Spirit Vein in the nine human nations, many powerful beings from the Ancient Holy Country were attracted, and it appeared that some of these powerful beings had approached the Great Flame Empire. The Xia Yan family guessed that Su Changkong might also return, thus they had Duanmu Tao wait at the Spirit Taoist Sect to relay the news.
Duanmu Tao gritted his teeth and said, "About three years ago, the Spiritual Energy in the world surged, and then a large number of powerful beings came from the Ancient Holy Country."
Duanmu Tao’s narration was consistent with Su Changkong’s guess.
Duanmu Tao continued, "Among these people… there are powerful beings who have a grudge against the Great Flame Empire, from the Ancient Demon Sect."
As Duanmu Tao narrated, Su Changkong immediately understood the crux of the matter.
The Ancient Demon Sect, a top force in the Ancient Holy Country and one of the Ancient Sects, included disciples like Hong Mantian who had come to the Great Flame Empire to fight for the Great Divine Seed.
At that time, Hong Mantian had come with the elite disciple Wang Zhongqiu of the Ancient Demon Sect, who was killed by Su Changkong in the guise of ’Primordial Soul Old Monster, Blade God,’ even alarming a Peak Master of the Ancient Demon Sect, thus settling the matter.
The Ancient Demon Sect had broken the unwritten rules first, and given their wariness of not knowing the identity of the suspected reincarnation of the Primordial Soul Old Monster, they hadn’t come from afar for revenge.
However, among the recent arrivals from the Ancient Holy Country in the human nations were members of the Ancient Demon Sect, perhaps remembering past grievances and again causing trouble at the Great Flame Empire!
"They named you specifically, coming aggressively. Any of these Ancient Demon Sect warriors is terrifying enough to make one shudder, let alone those who have cultivated a Divine Body!"
Duanmu Tao had a hint of fear in his eyes.
A mere Ancient Demon entering layer Heaven warrior like Wang Zhongqiu was enough to sweep all the Martial Saints of the Great Flame Empire.
Yet now, the suspected presence of those who had cultivated Divine Bodies was like a dimension-reducing strike for the Great Flame Empire—a commanding presence among all Martial Saints even in the Ancient Holy Country!
The Xia Yan family had absolutely no means to resist, and they expressly sought Su Changkong, who seemed likely to have returned to the Great Flame Empire.
"Where are they now?"
Su Changkong asked, not concealing the coldness in his eyes.
The Ancient Demon Sect was formidable, a colossal entity, and though Su Changkong had indeed killed their followers, they were the first to break rules without scruples. By choosing to retaliate and now seeking revenge again, forcing his acquaintances, Su Changkong naturally boiled with a desire to kill.
"They are currently within the Xia Yan family’s domain..."
Duanmu Tao answered.
"Hmm, let’s go. Since they want to find me, let’s see what they can do!"
Su Changkong spoke coldly, curious to see what kind of chaos these Ancient Demon Sect warriors wanted to cause.
Hearing this, Duanmu Tao was startled, "Elder Blade… there might be a Divine Body Martial Saint among these people. The Emperor asked me to wait here for you to keep you from going over."
Clearly, the Ancient Demon Sect members were seeking revenge on Su Changkong. By going there, Su Changkong was walking into a death trap. If they didn’t encounter Su Changkong, perhaps they would let it be.
"Divine Body Martial Saint… So what? Let’s go; I have my judgment!"
Su Changkong said indifferently.
His indifferent words, however, contained an air of confident ease.
"This… Elder Blade has been in the Ancient Holy Country for several years, could it be that he has already reached such a level?"
Duanmu Tao was utterly astonished. A Divine Body Martial Saint was an insurmountable existence in their eyes.
Yet in Su Changkong’s words, a Divine Body Martial Saint didn’t seem worthy of concern. Duanmu Tao also knew of Su Changkong’s extraordinary talents. He had risen meteorically in the Great Flame Empire like a comet splitting the sky, but could it be that in less than ten years in the Ancient Holy Country, he had grown to this extent?
"Uh… Yes!"
Duanmu Tao was also invigorated, his eyes shining with anticipation. Knowing Su Changkong, he knew that Su wasn’t one to act recklessly without certainty. Knowing that the Ancient Demon Sect’s warriors were seeking revenge, he was undeterred in keeping his appointment, surely confident and prepared!
Duanmu Tao and Su Changkong swiftly headed toward the Great Flame Imperial City.
"Coming back this time, I just wanted to make the people from the Ancient Holy Country behave, to not recklessly cause damage to the locals. It’s the perfect opportunity to make an example out of them!"
Su Changkong’s eyes flickered with a murderous intent.
The arrivals from the Ancient Holy Country were a mixed bag. Facing what they deemed ’natives,’ they felt naturally above them. Just one or two unchecked would cause massive destruction, and Su Changkong was ready to establish his authority using these avengers.
