Dragon Country, atop Jiuling Mountain.
Qin Hao had just planned to set off for Japan when he saw eight figures descend from the sky.
He glanced at the few Divine Mountain Yin Yang Masters from Japan, initially not intending to bother with them, as dealing with Qing Huo was the priority.
However, as Qin Hao was about to leave, he was stopped by these eight Divine Mountain Yin Yang Masters from Japan.
These guys spread out at various angles, blocking Qin Hao's path from all eight directions.
Qin Hao frowned slightly, "What, you guys want to block my way?"
Looking at these eight Onmyoji, Qin Hao felt that these fellows were rather bold.
They didn't actually think they were a match for him, did they?
Swept by Qin Hao's gaze, these eight Divine Mountain Yin Yang Masters from Japan immediately felt a chill rushing straight to their crown chakras.
Previously, they always had the illusion that the strength of the Heavenly Master from Dragon Country was only about the same as theirs, all of them strong entity of the same level.
However, after being thrashed by the Alien Practitioner, they had sobered up.
These old guys, who had spent a thousand years hidden inside the God Mountain of Japan, accepting tributes without emerging into the world, were unaware of the earth-shattering changes that had taken place outside.
Their might was already inferior before Qing Huo, let alone now before the Dragon Country's Master, who had once thrashed Qing Huo.
Merely being glanced at by the Heavenly Master, these Divine Mountain Yin Yang Masters from Japan all felt a strong sense of oppression.
Although aware of the gap between them, they had no choice as they had been sown with the Fire Seed by Qing Huo and had no way out.
Among these Yin Yang Masters, everyone looked towards Kamo no Tadayuki, who was the leader.
At this moment, Kamo no Tadayuki could only bite the bullet and speak.
He managed an awkward smile, and then said in Dragon Country's language, "Hehe, fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand, we have absolutely no intention to offend. It is simply that we are controlled by that Alien Practitioner, and have to come.
You must be aware that the Yin Yang Technique of Japan and the Daoist arts of Dragon Country both stem from the same lineage. I, in my early years, have also traveled to Dragon Country, visited your Qingyun Mountain, and even debated with the 97th Heavenly Master of Qingyun Mountain.
In a way, you and I are half fellow disciples. Today, we're here only to ask you, fellow Daoist, not to be overly ruthless. If you spare the Alien Practitioner's life, our lives will also be safe.
If you truly go to Japan to start a battle with that Alien Practitioner, it might result in the slaughter of innocents, which is good for no one!"
Kamo no Tadayuki was a smart man, quickly trying to claim kinship.
He started by mentioning his old ties with Qingyun Mountain, and then tried to connect with Qin Hao through the relationship of fellow disciples and kin.
Then he pretended to earnestly persuade Qin Hao not to go to Japan.
In doing so, Kamo no Tadayuki was essentially trying to save himself by a roundabout method.
Although Qing Huo had tasked them with killing Qin Hao, everyone clearly understood that Qing Huo merely treated them as tools merely to delay the Heavenly Master from reaching Japan.
Kamo no Tadayuki knew that even if these eight people used their strongest Array, they couldn't beat a single Qing Huo, let alone stand a chance against the Dragon Country's Heavenly Master.
Instead of being cannon fodder right from the start, it's better to appeal to emotion and reason, to wear down Qin Hao with their words.
Considering that they were all people from Blue Star, this Qin Hao would probably not go too far.
At least, that's what Kamo no Tadayuki thought.
However, reality proved that Kamo no Tadayuki was too naive.
What kind of person was Qin Hao?
Could the matters he intended to carry out be stopped by a few words from some people from Japan?
Not at all, Qin Hao didn't fall for their act.
He directly said, "Are you finished? If there's nothing else, then don't stop me from leaving anymore!"
After Qin Hao spoke, he was about to step into the void and leave.
Watching the Heavenly Master of Dragon Country seemingly not take in a single word he had said, Kamo no Tadayuki was instantly enraged.
After all, he was a famous Yin Yang Master from a thousand years ago in Japan.
In terms of generations, he was old enough to be the ancestor of this young Heavenly Master from Dragon Country.
Besides, he had old ties with the 97th Heavenly Master of Qingyun Mountain.
In fact, by all accounts, he was somewhat a senior.
He had spoken with such earnest persuasion, almost to the point of kneeling down to beg.
And yet, this guy didn't give him any face at all?
When had Kamo no Tadayuki ever been treated ?
In Japan, who dared to show him such disrespect, he felt like he was losing face.
Immediately, he shouted, "Young man, do you really not give an old man any face? Are all of today's Daoist cultivators in Dragon Country this disrespectful?"
Listening to Kamo no Tadayuki's shout.
The next moment, Qin Hao's gaze swept over.
Instantaneously, a sky-covering oppressive force emanated from Qin Hao, completely changing from the way he was just moments before.
It was the look of a superior being down upon an inferior one.
In just an instant, not only Kamo no Tadayuki himself, but all the Divine Mountain Yin Yang Masters on Jiuling Mountain were pressed so hard they could hardly breathe.
Qin Hao: "Face? Disrespect? Not to mention you're not qualified to be my elder, we are only meeting for the first time, why should I give you face?
Furthermore, Qing Huo came to Blue Star with the intention of destroying it. You insignificant ones block my way to Dongjing City to subdue him, have you not considered the price that the entire humanity of Blue Star will pay with their lives once disaster strikes?
I will say it one last time, those who are wise will leave now. If you dare to linger, don't blame my Thunder Spell for being merciless!"
In the face of foreign invasion and the destruction of Blue Star, Qin Hao did not care who you were.
Let alone a few old geezers from Japan.
The wise ones would quickly get lost, otherwise, Qin Hao wouldn't need Qing Huo to ignite the Fire Seed, his Thunder Spell alone could pulverize them to dust!
The tremendous pressure Qin Hao released in an instant caused their bodies to tremble uncontrollably.
They didn't even dare to harbor a thought of resistance.
That was absolute dominion.
Kamo no Tadayuki was so bathed in sweat from just that one glance that it seemed he had been drenched, his sweat pouring profusely.
Only now did he remember, the gap between himself and Qin Hao wasn't just in seniority but in strength as well.
The power of the other side was far beyond his comprehension.
Among ordinary people, age might determine seniority, and one could rely on being older in front of the young.
But among cultivators, what does seniority amount to?
In the path of cultivation, those who have reached the higher realms lead.
Whoever has a higher realm and a mightier fist is the elder.
Kamo no Tadayuki admitted that he had been too loud earlier.
It wasn't until now that he truly and directly felt the vast gap between himself and Qin Hao.
Just a slight release of pressure from Qin Hao had already made it hard for these Divine Mountain Yin Yang Masters from Japan to breathe.
Now he wanted to end this dalliance with these people as well.
He took a definitive step, locking onto Dongjing City, readying himself for a minor plane shift!
Seeing Qin Hao about to shift.
The few responding Divine Mountain Yin Yang Spirit Venerates on Jiuling Mountain panicked.
"We can't let him go; if he gets there, we're as good as dead! Let's strike together!"
