Wan Qiong really wanted to know where these two late-stage Grandmasters came from.
Although the Dragon Gate sect resided overseas, they had numerous affiliated forces in the "mortal world." Through these forces, they could obtain various intelligence from the secular realm. Logically, the Dragon Gate had recorded all Grandmaster experts. They never expected so many hidden masters in this world.
"Their identities are not important."
"I am the most important, am I not?" Qin Han Chu asked with a smile.
Zhao Hai snorted, "Very true, you are indeed the most important."
"Are the family members of the Asura King still alive?" Qin Han Chu went straight to the point.
"You truly are Qin Feng's son." Wan Qiong's gaze became fervent.
Qin Han Chu nodded, "I am indeed Qin Feng's son. Can you answer my question now?"
"They are alive. If you return with us, you can reunite with them."
"Hand over the Medical Scripture, and your family can leave the Dragon Gate and start a new life," Zhao Hai said solemnly.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai mention the Medical Scripture, Qin Han Chu's eyes flickered. So, this Medical Scripture was left by his father. And this family became fractured because of the Medical Scripture. Zhao Hai spoke nicely, but Qin Han Chu was no three-year-old child. Once he went to the Dragon Gate, he would be walking into a trap.
"Are my relatives truly still alive?" Qin Han Chu felt a surge of excitement. As long as they were alive, anything could be discussed. With sufficient strength, he could rescue them.
"Qin Feng must also be alive!" Wan Qiong asked.
Hearing this, Qin Han Chu's expression drastically changed. The Dragon Gate sect didn't even know if his father was alive?
"My father died by your hands, and you dare to ask this question," Qin Han Chu said.
"The Soul Burial Cliff is bottomless. Who can go down to investigate? It's not impossible to survive by sheer luck."
"Without his help, how could you have achieved what you have today?"
"Why would these Grandmasters obey your every command?"
"You are the young master, but Qin Feng is the true master, isn't he?" Wan Qiong speculated, letting his imagination run wild.
Qin Han Chu's previously excited mood calmed down with Wan Qiong's speculation. He had thought Wan Qiong had some news, but it turned out to be mere guesswork.
"Forget it, let's not talk for now."
"After I defeat you, we can have a good chat." Qin Han Chu said.
"Heh, with just these two, you think you can defeat us?" Zhao Hai said dismissively.
"If they can fight us to a draw, that would be impressive," Wan Qiong said.
Qin Han Chu looked at the two behind him, "Make your move. I will back you up."
Receiving Qin Han Chu's command, Ancestor Daoist and Ancestor Xiao immediately drew their weapons. Ancestor Daoist's Blood Saber was too conspicuous, so he switched to an ordinary-looking treasure saber.
Seeing the opponent initiate the attack, Wan Qiong and Zhao Hai also drew their swords and met them.
"You five stay back and don't get caught in the crossfire," Qin Han Chu said to Qing Dai and the others. Protected by Shen Wan Feng, Qing Dai and the others quickly retreated from the battle zone. Qin Han Chu stood in place, watching the fight with keen interest. Late-stage Grandmasters were already rare, and now four Grandmasters were engaged in a chaotic battle. The scene was truly shocking. Saber energy crisscrossed, sword energy flashed. Powerful internal energies collided repeatedly, exploding continuously. The surrounding trees were cut down like tofu under the sharpness of the internal energy. Even the hard mountain rocks were shattered by the impacts. Such a battle was unimaginable for ordinary people.
Boom!
Zhao Hai's weapon was a broadsword. His moves were powerful and unrestrained, and his aura was even more imposing. His sword energy erupted, directly slicing a boulder the size of a car in half.
"Late-stage Grandmasters are truly terrifying!" Watching the four fight, Ancestor Shen's eyes were filled with longing. He mused whether he would ever have the chance to reach such a realm in his lifetime.
Qing Dai saw through Ancestor Shen's thoughts and said, "As long as you follow the young master loyally, nothing is impossible." Hearing this, a glimmer of hope appeared in Ancestor Shen's eyes.
At this moment, Ancestor Shen's mind trembled. He realized that the late-stage Grandmasters brought by Qin Han Chu looked familiar. Soon, Ancestor Shen confirmed his thoughts. He had initially thought the two powerhouses brought by Qin Han Chu were someone else, but unexpectedly, one of them was Ancestor Blood Saber. Ancestor Blood Saber's breakthrough must have received Qin Han Chu's help. Since Qin Han Chu could help Ancestor Blood Saber break through, he could surely help him as well. Even if he couldn't reach the late-stage Grandmaster realm, he could definitely reach the mid-stage Grandmaster realm! With this thought, Ancestor Shen became even more excited. He made up his mind to perform well and strive for a chance to break through.
While Ancestor Shen's thoughts were racing, the battle between the four late-stage Grandmasters had entered a fierce stage. The battleground was already a mess. Broken trees and shattered rocks looked as if they had been bombed. The four were evenly matched, and neither side could gain an advantage. Clearly, Zhao Hai and Wan Qiong had only recently entered the late-stage Grandmaster realm. They knew very well that they absolutely could not take Qin Han Chu today. Therefore, they were already contemplating retreat.
"Gentlemen, can we talk now?" Qin Han Chu said.
Upon hearing Qin Han Chu speak, Ancestor Daoist and Ancestor Xiao immediately retreated. They formed a triangle with Qin Han Chu, surrounding Zhao Hai and Wan Qiong in the middle. Zhao Hai and Wan Qiong did not realize they had fallen into an encirclement. In their eyes, Qin Han Chu posed no threat. In fact, they were still thinking of capturing Qin Han Chu and forcibly taking him away.
"What do you want to talk about?" Wan Qiong held his long sword, with rippling translucent waves of internal energy emanating from it.
"You two are very much in love, aren't you?" Qin Han Chu asked.
Zhao Hai frowned, "That is natural. What are you trying to say?"
"I greatly admire your deep affection, so I don't want to break up a loving couple."
"You two surely don't want the other to die."
"I advise you to surrender!"
"As long as you work for me, you can not only live, but I can also help you reach higher realms," Qin Han Chu advised earnestly.
Hearing this, Zhao Hai burst into laughter, "The four of us are evenly matched. Who can kill whom?"
"Can't you even see that?" Wan Qiong mocked.
"Those two can't kill you, but what if we add another late-stage Grandmaster?" Qin Han Chu's lips curled into a mischievous smile.
Zhao Hai and Wan Qiong's expressions changed drastically. They looked around vigilantly.
"There's another late-stage Grandmaster? Where?" Zhao Hai asked.
Wan Qiong said solemnly, "Hand him over for us to see. Don't try to scare us."
"Far away, yet close at hand."
"In fact, I am also a late-stage Grandmaster."
"Do you believe me?" Qin Han Chu said in a teasing tone.
