Shock was evident in everyone's eyes as they gazed upon the corpses on the ground.
"An ancient remnant beast of the Immortal Saint realm that used a forbidden art!"
"Could it be that an Immortal God expert killed it?"
One person spoke.
"Split up and investigate!" the leader said, then flew towards the distance.
The others also scattered to search for clues.
Hours later, they gathered together.
"According to my investigation, several Immortal Venerables fought with it!" the speaker said, shocked.
"What I found is the same!"
The Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape had killed many immortal beasts along its path.
However, many immortal beasts had managed to escape in time.
The information these people obtained was from the mouths of these surviving immortal beasts.
"How is that possible!"
"Judging by the corpse, the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape was still in the state of using its forbidden art when it was killed!"
"In this state, it was comparable to an ordinary Immortal God realm expert."
"With such terrifying strength, how could it have been slain by a few Immortal Venerables?"
The leader exclaimed in shock.
"Perhaps an Immortal God expert saved them!"
Hearing this, the others nodded slightly. This was indeed very possible.
"To pierce its head with a single sword, it must have been an Immortal God!"
Qin Hanchu had faked the scene afterward to confuse matters.
"I also gathered some news. Among these Immortal Venerables, someone used the Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Law!"
...
Myriad Worlds City was the stronghold of the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion in the main Immortal Sea Realm.
At this moment, in the Pavilion Master's mansion, the Ninth Young Master was enjoying a performance by beautiful women.
"Ninth Young Master, the Grand Steward requests an audience."
Just then, a woman walked in gracefully and said respectfully.
"Hmm, let him in," the Ninth Young Master replied casually.
A moment later, an Immortal Saint expert walked in.
This Immortal Saint expert was the Grand Steward mentioned by the woman.
The Grand Steward was a title for the administrators of the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion.
In the main Immortal Sea Realm, his status was second only to the branch pavilion master of the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion.
The reason he was so respectful to the Ninth Young Master was primarily his fear of the Ninth Young Master's father, the branch pavilion master.
"Ninth Young Master, we just received news."
"Three months ago, a member of the Divine Sword Immortal Pavilion used the Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Law."
"This person's realm is only Immortal Venerable. Perhaps he was the one who snatched your good fortune."
The Grand Steward's words caused the usually nonchalant Ninth Young Master to sit up straight. "Is that true?"
"I have already dispatched people to investigate. We should have news soon," the Grand Steward replied.
"If it's true, go and capture him for me!"
"Even if I no longer have the Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Law, I will kill him to vent my anger."
Although the Ninth Young Master had found other rare laws, Qin Hanchu snatching the good fortune that originally belonged to him had displeased him greatly.
Even though a long time had passed, he still held a grudge against Qin Hanchu.
"Yes." The Grand Steward cupped his hands in assent and then turned to leave.
At the same time, Qin Hanchu was in seclusion in Divine Sword City, attempting to break through his cultivation realm.
With the two pieces of Life and Death Underworld Iron and a large amount of Life and Death Law resources, Qin Hanchu had a ninety percent chance of success.
While Qin Hanchu was in seclusion, the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion had mobilized its intelligence network for an investigation.
In less than a month, they had located Qin Hanchu.
They even knew where Qin Hanchu was staying.
Fortunately, the Divine Sword Immortal Pavilion and the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion were not on good terms, so the people from the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion dared not act rashly in Divine Sword City.
As long as Qin Hanchu remained in the inn, they could not make a move.
Time flew by, and fifty years had passed.
After fifty years of seclusion, Qin Hanchu had finally reached the Immortal Saint realm.
It took nearly a hundred years to go from Immortal Venerable to Immortal Saint!
Although this seemed like a long time, compared to other Immortal Venerables, Qin Hanchu's cultivation speed was already terrifyingly fast.
While Qin Hanchu was in seclusion, Axiang and the other two were also in seclusion.
Although they had not broken through, their strength had all reached the Great Perfection of the Immortal Venerable realm.
"Congratulations on reaching the Immortal Saint realm!"
"In the main realm, the Immortal Saint realm can already be called an expert!" Bai Li Old Ancestor said, congratulating Qin Hanchu.
Dragon Lord nodded, "Indeed, as long as those Immortal God experts do not reveal themselves, the Immortal Saint realm is already an extremely powerful existence."
Qin Hanchu said, "Even if I reach the Immortal God realm, I cannot afford to be complacent."
Bai Li Old Ancestor and the other two nodded repeatedly. The three of them were the best examples.
In their previous lives, they were already Immortal Gods, yet they were still forced to reincarnate and cultivate anew!
"What are your plans now?" Axiang asked.
Qin Hanchu pondered and said, "I plan to return to the Shenzhou Great World!"
"I miss my daughter too. It would be good for us to go back," Axiang said.
"Farewell."
Dragon Lord and the other had no sense of belonging to the Shenzhou Great World, so they did not wish to return with Qin Hanchu and Axiang.
With this time, they could form teams with other Immortal Venerables and go out to find resources to strengthen themselves.
"Farewell!"
Qin Hanchu and Axiang said goodbye to them, and then they boarded a teleportation array to return to the Shenzhou Great World.
Just as the two were returning, the Grand Steward of the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion followed closely behind.
"It's good to be home!"
Standing in the world of the Shenzhou Great World, Qin Hanchu stretched lazily.
Axiang smiled, "After my great vengeance is avenged, I will live in seclusion here with you."
Qin Hanchu nodded, "Good, that day will come soon."
As the two were chatting, Qin Hanchu suddenly looked behind him.
Axiang also felt something was wrong, and she turned to look as well.
The void rippled, and three old men walked out.
The leader among these three was the Grand Steward of the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion.
The two following him were his attendant Immortal Venerables.
"Qin Hanchu!"
"How dare you!"
"You dare to use the Thunder God Wood that our Ninth Young Master wanted!" the Grand Steward glared at Qin Hanchu and shouted.
At this moment, Qin Hanchu had already reached Immortal Saint, and this was his Shenzhou Great World, so he was not afraid.
The three people on the opposite side could not threaten Qin Hanchu and Axiang.
"How did you find us?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"As long as you use the Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder in public, with the capabilities of our Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion, we can naturally lock onto you."
"I didn't expect you to hide for so long!" the Grand Steward said coldly.
Qin Hanchu knew that it must have been the incident with the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape that exposed his whereabouts.
"The Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion gave us false intelligence and sent us to our deaths. Do you think I will still honor my promise and give you the Thunder God Wood?"
"Since you've come knocking, there's nothing more to say."
"Do you want to make a move?"
As he spoke, Qin Hanchu had already drawn the Muqing Sword.
"A mere Immortal Venerable dares to stand against me?"
"Can't you sense my realm?"
"Even if this is your great world, you are not qualified to boast before me."
Although the Grand Steward was an Immortal Saint realm expert, in Qin Hanchu's great world, he could not see through Qin Hanchu's realm at all.
It was precisely because of this that he still thought Qin Hanchu was at the Immortal Venerable realm.
