Chapter 210 Jiuli Ghost Sect
Chapter 210 Jiuli Ghost Sect
"It's the Jiuli Ghost Sect's people!"
"That girl is in trouble, she actually offended someone from the Jiuli Ghost Sect, and not just anyone, but a direct disciple of the sect. The Jiuli Ghost Sect rules over tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, dominating one region, acting tyrannically and fearlessly. If that girl dares to resist, not only she, but I fear even her family and sect behind her, will face annihilation!"
Seeing the luxurious attire of the Jiuli Ghost Sect on Han Jiushan and the swaying Jiuli Ghost Sect Identity Jade at his waist, the surrounding martial artists and cultivators suddenly changed their expressions and hastily retreated far away.
Not daring to get involved in this karma.
The Jiuli Ghost Sect has massive influence and a profound heritage. It could be considered the sky over dozens of counties both big and small near Donglin County.
On top of that, with the Jiuli Ghost Sect's unorthodox behavior and habitual tyranny, very few people dare to get involved with them.
At this moment, in everyone's eyes, Zhou Xi had offended Han Jiushan's pride, causing him to lose face, and she had already caused a huge disaster. Explore more adventures at empire
Facing Han Jiushan's anger, even though many present were enamored with Zhou Xi's unparalleled beauty, no one dared to speak up for her or stand up in her defense.
"Wench, if you dare to resist this young master, I'll make your entire clan accompany you in death!"
Han Jiushan's sinister threat, his figure like a specter, grabbed at Zhou Xi.
Zhou Xi's expression instantly changed. Having followed Qinchuan for so long, her strength had improved significantly compared to before, and with the Taiyin Treasure Body, as well as the Evil-Suppressing Divine Sword, even though her cultivation level was not as high as Han Jiushan's, very few among her peers could match her.
However, Han Jiushan's threat had evidently taken effect, causing Zhou Xi to hesitate momentarily, not daring to rashly harm him for fear of bringing disaster upon her family and sect.
She retreated, avoiding Han Jiushan's Ghost Claw Martial Technique, and put distance between them.
Seeing that Zhou Xi indeed had concerns, a cold smile surfaced at the corner of Han Jiushan's mouth. He advanced on her with ghost-like movement techniques, his attacks becoming increasingly ferocious and sharp.
Zhou Xi kept retreating repeatedly, and her sword remained unsheathed.
"Crack."
The others around, wary of the Jiuli Ghost Sect, had retreated far away, even refraining from too much discussion.
Yet at this time, a crisp sound broke the silence.
Qinchuan was holding a crunchy spirit fruit, took a big bite, and made a crisp noise, causing the martial artists and cultivators around him to twitch at the corners of their eyes and cast him strange glances, feeling somewhat speechless.
This guy was actually eating a fruit in such a situation, making such a discordant sound, truly an oddity.
However, when those martial artists and cultivators saw the spirit fruit in Qinchuan's hand, they instantly widened their eyes.
"Is this... a premium Xuanling Fruit that's a hundred thousand years old?!"
The martial artists and cultivators found themselves breathing more rapidly, their eyes full of shock as they looked at Qinchuan.
Such a premium fruit was invaluable, a priceless treasure.
And this guy in front of them was treating this premium fruit as if it were an ordinary fruit, an extravagant and wasteful act!
In an instant, those martial artists and cultivators looked at Qinchuan with flickering eyes, harboring unusual thoughts.
In their minds, someone who could treat a hundred thousand-year-old premium Xuanling Fruit like an ordinary fruit had to have a remarkable background.
So their first thought was not to rob Qinchuan but rather to make connections with him.
Qinchuan ignored the people around him, took another bite of the Xuanling Fruit, and looking at Zhou Xi continuously forced back by Han Jiushan, he couldn't help but frown.
"Just a Meridian Opening Realm Eighth Layer waste, and he can force you to retreat again and again, you've completely lost face for this young master."
Qinchuan ate the Xuanling Fruit without any image as he casually spoke.
Hearing Qinchuan's voice, Zhou Xi immediately felt a surge of joy, but after listening to Qinchuan's words, she couldn't help feeling a burst of frustration.
And those martial artists and cultivators who had just thought about befriending Qinchuan were instantly green-faced upon hearing his words, hurriedly putting distance between themselves and Qinchuan.
This guy must be insane!
It must be known that the Jiuli Ghost Sect controls endless territories and is the overlord of dozens of counties in this region, the sky of this realm!
Yet this guy dared to publicly claim that a direct descendant disciple of the Jiuli Ghost Sect was trash!
If that is not madness, what is?
Although they guessed that Qinchuan might have some background, some connections, otherwise he would not consider a top-grade spirit fruit of a hundred thousand years, the Xuanling Fruit, as an ordinary spirit fruit.
But even if Qinchuan had some background, they did not believe that his background could be bigger than one of the three great overlords outside of Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom's Imperial Family—the Jiuli Ghost Sect!
Therefore, they immediately suppressed the thought of making an acquaintance.
And they moved away from Qinchuan as fast as possible, in order to avoid getting involved.
It wasn't just them, the other onlookers around were also stunned, not expecting someone to brazenly declare Han Jiushan, a direct descendant disciple of the Jiuli Ghost Sect, as trash.
Was this guy out of his mind, or just ignorant?
The crowd around every side recoiled as if avoiding a plague, and the area around Qinchuan instantly became empty.
Han Jiushan, hearing Qinchuan's words, also darkened his expression and momentarily halted his assault on Zhou Xi, stabilizing his stance to turn and look back at Qinchuan with eyes full of icy chill.
"Who did you just… say was trash?!"
Han Jiushan's chilly gaze bore down on Qinchuan, his tone icy cold, brimming with murderous intent.
He was a direct descendant disciple of the Jiuli Ghost Sect, with talent that was undoubtedly high.
But he was engrossed in beauty and neglected his cultivation, which is why at twenty-five, he had only reached the eighth layer of the Meridian Opening Realm.
Even so, being twenty-five and possessing the cultivation level of the eighth layer of the Meridian Opening Realm could still be considered as top-tier talent.
That showed how strong his cultivation aptitude was.
If he hadn't been indulging in his lust for beauty and neglecting his cultivation, he would probably have broken through the constraints of the Meridian Opening Realm and been promoted to the Spirit Martial Realm by now!
His aptitude was considered superior even within the Jiuli Ghost Sect.
And now, someone was publicly calling him trash right before everyone's eyes!
Instantly, Han Jiushan was seething with killing intent.
Qinchuan cast a casual glance at Han Jiushan, not taking him seriously at all, and his eyes landed on Zhou Xi, speaking indifferently, "A mere trash of the Meridian Opening Realm's eighth layer has forced you to retreat again and again; what is the sword in your hand for?"
"Having followed this young master for so long, if you cannot even deal with trash at the eighth layer of the Meridian Opening Realm, there is no need for you to waste any more time by my side."
"He is from the Jiuli Ghost Sect..."
Zhou Xi's complexion turned slightly pale upon hearing this, then she pursed her lips and spoke up.
"So what if he is from the Jiuli Ghost Sect?"
Qinchuan tossed away the core of the Xuanling Fruit he was holding and asked with some surprise.
Zhou Xi pressed her lips together and said nothing, knowing that with Qinchuan's attitude, he clearly did not regard the Jiuli Ghost Sect as anything significant.
