The Blaze Lord was a Demi-Saint, and the fact that he could single-handedly build Blaze City to protect the billions of living beings of many races was proof of his power.
Barring Saints, there were less than a handful of elites who could kill him … and yet, the Nether River Patriarch was one of them!
That was why he did not mind the Nether River Patriarch's harsh words, and instead asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Nether River Patriarch? A human Grand Luo? What human Grand Luo? "
The Nether River Patriarch snorted coldly, killing intent bursting out of his body. The Blaze Lord quickly said, "As you know, Nether River Patriarch, many cultivators pass by and stay at Blaze City every year, with Grand Luo appearing occasionally as well. I'm usually in seclusion, so I'm not aware of that …"
"Scarlet Flame!"
The Blaze Lord barked, and a scarlet light shot out of Blaze City.
Scarlet Flame, a Grand Luo of the Blaze Clan, sneaked a look at the Nether River Patriarch, his eyes filled with reverence and fear.
How could he not know the Nether River Patriarch's fearsome name that shook the world?
He was a being who dared to fight even Saints. Even if his opponent was the weakest of Saints, he was not someone a mere Grand Luo like him would dare to offend.
"Scarlet Flame is my personal disciple and a Grand Luo of my clan. I've been in seclusion to cultivate, so I'm in charge of all matters in Blaze City."
The Nether River Patriarch's eyes shot out a bloody radiance as he looked down at Scarlet Flame.
Scarlet Flame naturally did not dare to hide the truth when he asked, and so answered truthfully, "Patriarch, two human Grand Luo did come to Blaze City nine days ago, and it is said that they had spoken to several Sura disciples. However, they are not in Blaze City right now, but had taken a warp portal to the Galactic Empire."
Scarlet Flame waved his hand, and an image appeared out of thin air.
It was a projection of his memories, showing the scene of his meeting with Jiang He and Wang Hou.
Clearly, he was worried that the Nether River Patriarch would pick a fight with him, which was why he directly displayed his memories.
The Nether River Patriarch stared closely at the image, his eyes fixed on the white-clothed and handsome young Grand Luo Jiang He, and asked, "To the Galactic Empire?"
"Senior, that human Grand Luo had said that he would use the Galactic Empire's warp portal to head to the celestial battlefield."
"What was that human Grand Luo's name?"
"Jiang He."
The Nether River Patriarch withdrew his gaze and growled, "Let me borrow your Blaze City's long-distance portal!"
"How lucky!"
Chi Yan heaved a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Senior, I'll take you there."
…
Xinghe Empire.
Buzz!
The portal flashed, and the Nether River Patriarch appeared in a luxurious city in the Galactic Empire.
"Hmm?"
The Nether River Patriarch's face twitched the moment he stepped out of the portal. He looked up in a certain direction and sneered, "Found you!"
As he got closer, he could already track karma and determine the general direction of the Primordial Massacre Sword.
… …
Swift Star, Heaven Connect City.
Leading the way, the Golden Immortal led Jiang He and Wang Hou outside a mansion.
An old man dressed in Daoist robes quickly walked out of the mansion to greet Jiang He and Wang Hou, smiling. "Brother Jiang He, Brother Wang Hou, please forgive me for not greeting you earlier."
That old man was Yu Quan Zi, the first disciple of the True Habitant of Yu Ding.
Legend had it that the True Habitant of Yu Ding only had one disciple, but that was not the case … Yu Quan Zi was not human, but a world spirit.
The so-called 'Spirits of Heaven and Earth' referred to the 'spirits' that were born in the natural paradises, mountains, rocks, and treasures that were nourished by spiritual energy over a long period of time.
And Yu Quan Zi was the spirit of Mount Jade Spring.
Mount Jade Spring was where the True Habitant of Yu Ding's cavern abode was located.
Jiang He and Wang Hou had asked about it from the Golden Immortal on their way here.
Seeing that the old man had come to greet them, Wang Hou smiled and bowed, saying, "You must be the True Habitant of Yu Quan Zi? It's an honor to meet you. "
Jiang He offered a fist-palm salute in return and exchanged some pleasantries.
"Fellow Daoists, please!"
"I've ordered my men to prepare a small banquet. I hope you'll honor us with your presence!"
The Golden Immortal who had brought Jiang He and Wang Hou was taken aback.
Who were these two Grand Luo?
Having followed Yu Quan Zi for ten thousand years, he naturally knew his master's personality … his master had always kept a low profile, and rarely interacted with his fellow disciples at the Hollow Jade Temple, let alone unfamiliar Grand Luo.
Usually, when unfamiliar Grand Luo came to visit, he might not even meet them, let alone greet them from afar and have a friendly chat!
Moreover, Yu Quan Zi had already observed Jiang He and Wang Hou through the picture scroll outside Swift Star …
"My master had only asked me to meet them before, but his attitude has changed so drastically now. Even if these people are old acquaintances with Martial Uncle Tu Xing Sun, there's no need for this, is there?"
Unbeknownst to the Golden Immortal, the reason his master's attitude had changed so drastically was because he had contacted Tu Xing Sun and learned about Jiang He and Wang Hou's identities and deeds!
After Tu Xing Sun returned from the homeworld, the names of Jiang He and Wang Hou had spread throughout the Hollow Jade Temple. Even the Primeval Lord of Heaven, who had always been elusive, was startled.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven had mentioned that a Saint might be born in this era, and that Saint could very well be either Jiang He or Wang Hou!
Yu Quan Zi, who was usually taciturn, was very talkative today.
Leading Jiang He and Wang Hou into his mansion, he smiled. "Brothers, this may be your first time coming to the celestial battlefield, but your names have long since spread throughout the Hollow Jade Temple."
He invited them to the main hall and ordered someone to deliver fine wine, immortal fruits, and various immortal delicacies.
"I've contacted Junior Brother Tu Xing Sun. He has nothing to do recently and is cultivating at the Hollow Jade Temple, but he would arrive tonight."
Yu Quan Zi poured wine for Jiang He and Wang Hou before raising his cup in a toast, saying, "This cup is for you, brothers. If you had not protected the homeworld in these troubled times, the Hundred Races Alliance would have conquered it long ago!"
They clinked their cups and downed it in one gulp.
Yu Quan Zi then raised his cup and said, "This cup is for you, Brother Jiang He. You have single-handedly swept through the legion of the Hundred Races Alliance and spread the might of the human race!"
Jiang He beamed and downed his cup in one gulp, chuckling. "It's nothing. Moreover, I have my own selfish motives in fighting the Hundred Races Alliance. If they were allowed to invade Earth … yes, the homeworld you speak of, it would be hard for us to have a peaceful life in the future."
Yu Quan Zi then raised his cup, but was about to speak when Jiang He's expression changed and he turned toward Wang Hou.
"What is it?"
Wang Hou could not help asking, taken aback by Jiang He's resentful gaze.
"You really got it right, you jinx!"
Jiang He put down his cup and barked angrily, "That dog Nether River Patriarch actually followed the karmic connection to this place … and to think that I treated him as my elder, giving him gifts as compensation and writing him letters of explanation!"
Wang Hou was dumbstruck.
You're giving me a gift, and you're writing me a letter!
That was the same as taking a dump, and directly into the Nether River Patriarch's mouth. How could the Nether River Patriarch not kill you?
Yu Quan Zi was left dumbstruck …
What?
What Nether River Patriarch?
A superior being who dominated worlds like the Nether River Patriarch was after Jiang He?
Yu Quan Zi's eyes instantly lit up!
"Before, the patriarch had mentioned that one of Jiang He and Wang Hou could become a Saint. Many of my brothers, sisters, and even my master, martial uncles, and the others wanted to befriend them … isn't this a good chance?"
