Chapter 836 - 773: A Raging Fire
Li Shisan's master, Zhan Pingta, was a middle-aged man with piercing eyes that flashed like lightning. Although his features were refined, a hint of ferocity lingered between his brows.After listening to Li Shisan's recount of the recent encounter, his brows furrowed deeply.
He had a department on the Yuanzhen Continent dedicated to gathering all intelligence on the Taihuang Immortal Sect, and it mentioned that the higher-ups of the Taihuang Immortal Sect were currently pursuing a male and a female, both being Martial Saint level experts.
It was said that because these two Martial Saint level experts had appeared inside the Ziwei Divine Palace and disrupted the Taihuang Immortal Sect's plans, they seized the treasures of the Ziwei Divine Palace.
Previously, Zhan Pingta had considered sending Zhan Huantai to venture into the Ziwei Divine Palace, but at that time, Zhan Huantai was in the midst of attempting to break through to the Martial Saint realm, secluded in a closed room.
He couldn't disturb Zhan Huantai's seclusion, and even if Zhan Huantai did break through to the Martial Saint level, he feared that Zhan Huantai might still be unable to defeat the experts sent by the Taihuang Immortal Sect to seek treasure.
Moreover, even with Zhan Huantai having the highest cultivation on their side, sending Li Shisan and Yan Wushuang together for the treasure hunt would likely still result in total annihilation.
Zhan Pingta was well aware of the formidable strength of the Taihuang Immortal Sect, so after pondering for a long time, he ultimately decided against sending Zhan Huantai to participate in this treasure hunt competition.
In fact, Duan Gujin and Qing Lian had not intended to open the Ziwei Divine Palace ahead of time, resulting in Zhan Huantai missing out on any treasures within, greatly diminishing his future combat power.
Originally, Duan Gujin didn't plan to search for Zhan Huantai so soon, but with his exceptional luck, he ran into Li Shisan while dining.
"Are you certain that both of them are Martial Saint experts and very young?"
Zhan Pingta slightly furrowed his brows and asked.
"Yes, I asked them before, they both claimed to be under twenty years old! They said they are martial artists from the Jiuzhou Continent. The male is a demon cultivator, his Martial Soul is different from that of common martial artists, I am certain he's a demon cultivator, and the female Martial Saint belongs to a righteous sect. They knew each other before but had different Immortal Destinies, being sent to different sects, one going to the Demon Path, and the other becoming a disciple of a righteous sect. They reunited and fell in love, then defected from their respective masters, coming to the Yuanzhen Continent. They said they bear a grudge against the Taihuang Immortal Sect because the sect killed their companions, and they absolutely detest the people of the Taihuang Immortal Sect!"
Li Shisan replied.
Zhan Pingta gasped, his thoughts racing, deciding he should meet Duan Gujin and Qing Lian.
"Take me to meet them, I want to see what's going on with them."
Zhan Pingta thought it necessary to see for himself, so under Li Shisan's guidance, they quickly met Duan Gujin and Qing Lian.
Li Shisan immediately introduced Zhan Pingta to Duan Gujin and Qing Lian.
"This is my master, Senior Zhan!"
"Greetings, Senior Zhan!"
Duan Gujin and Qing Lian said in unison.
"Greetings to you both!"
Zhan Pingta's eyes flickered as he employed a secret technique to examine the bone age of Duan Gujin and Qing Lian.
After a while, he confirmed that he was not mistaken; their bone age did not exceed twenty years.
Knowing this, he drew a sharp breath inward, realizing a huge shock.
He had thought Zhan Huantai was already impressive, being only twenty-five years old and attempting to break through to the Martial Saint realm.
However, today, he found himself facing two individuals under twenty who had successfully broken through to the Martial Saint realm, completely overturning his previous understanding.
Duan Gujin inwardly sneered, having known from Zhan Pingta's flickering gaze that the latter was probing his bone age.
"Friends, I've heard you are martial artists from the Jiuzhou Continent. Delighted, delighted!"
Zhan Pingta said politely.
"It's our honor to meet a senior here!"
Duan Gujin replied indifferently.
Zhan Pingta chuckled, having now seen the real situation of both individuals before him, and believed the Yuanzhen Continent was incapable of nurturing two such young Martial Saint experts, not even the Taihuang Immortal Sect.
Or perhaps the Taihuang Immortal Sect could produce a super genius, but it absolutely couldn't nurture two simultaneously.
The only possibility was that the two young Martial Saints before him were not from the Yuanzhen Continent but were martial artists from another Advanced Plane.
Lately, Li Shisan had told him that Duan Gujin and Qing Lian came from the even more Advanced Plane, the Jiuzhou Continent, and now he fully believed Li Shisan's words.
Zhan Pingta had heard some rumors about the Jiuzhou Continent, knowing its vastness surpassed the Yuanzhen Continent and the rule power there was more intact, with experts as numerous as clouds.
"I heard you are from the Jiuzhou Continent. How is the Hundred Saints Mountain there now?"
Zhan Pingta asked probingly.
Duan Gujin had anticipated Zhan Pingta would inquire about things concerning the Jiuzhou Continent and said with a chuckle, "The Hundred Saints Mountain is a gathering place for the demon clan, only Martial Saint martial artists can venture there safely. Ordinary martial artists shouldn't even try. The mountain is filled with different demon clans, each tribe having demon saints with strength comparable to human Martial Saint experts. It's exactly like it used to be, humans and demons meeting will still lead to battles and killings!"
