Chapter 337: A Favor

If it were any other faction, the sect master might not be the strongest person, because there was very likely a grand elder or other grandmasters cultivating in seclusion.

However, in the Immortal Divine Sect, the sect master was the most powerful existence. There was no need to doubt this. Otherwise, no one would listen to his orders.

After all, all the cultivators who were willing to join the Immortal Divine Sect were fiends that killed people like flies. Without sufficient strength, how could the sect master make others submit?

As for the current sect master of the Immortal Divine Sect, he practically suppressed all the experts of the sect with his own strength. None of them dared to raise their head in the slightest.

The reason was very simple. This sect master of the Immortal Divine Sect was an upper realm God King Stage expert. Even in the entire Heavenly Realm, he was still one of the top existences. The reason why the Immortal Divine Sect could remain standing without falling was absolutely related to the fact that no faction dared to attack him forcefully.

Under Lu Xing’s lead, Qin Jue quickly arrived at the Immortal Divine Sect’s Sect Master’s location. Shi Tian and Killing Dao were left in the courtyard.

However, before leaving, Qin Jue deliberately set up a barrier. Without his permission, no one could step into the courtyard.

“Sect Master, Little Friend Qin has already arrived.”

Outside the main hall, Lu Xing bowed and reported.

This was a palace built with icefire stones. It was extremely gorgeous and contained two spirit qi of different attributes. It could be said to be a place of fire and ice.

If an ordinary cultivator was careless while cultivating inside, their meridians would explode from the two types of spirit qi and they would die.

“Let him in.”

After a while, a cold voice sounded from within the palace, leaving no room for doubt.

“Yes.”

Lu Xing turned around and said to Qin Jue, “Little Friend Qin, please enter.”

Qin Jue didn’t think too much about it and directly walked into the palace.

Hu.

As soon as he entered the main hall, the spirit qi of the two attributes immediately rushed over like a wave, as if it was trying to swallow Qin Jue. Wherever it passed, even space was slightly distorted, revealing an irregular shape.

However, Qin Jue acted as if he couldn’t see the two streams of spirit qi and continued to walk forward by himself, isolating all the impact from ten meters away without moving at all.

Just like that, Qin Jue continued forward until he saw the young man sitting at the end of the hall.

“Hahaha, you’re indeed at the God King Stage.”

The young man was incomparably handsome. He had tied his hair into a golden crown, and his eyes were red and white as he looked straight at Qin Jue. He didn’t look like a fiend lord at all. Instead, he looked more like a genius disciple of a large clan. His temperament was gentle, refined, and calm.

According to Wu Shi’s memories, this sect master was once the holy son of a certain orthodox faction. For some unknown reason, he suddenly switched to cultivating evil techniques and killed all the members of the sect, ultimately falling into the demonic path.

After that, relying on his incomparably powerful talent, this young man rose step by step and broke many records. In the end, he became one of the only four upper realm God King Stage experts in the Heavenly Realm.

Even though the young man was already the sect master of the Immortal Divine Sect, his experience was still legendary.

However, up until now, no one knew why the youth had suddenly switched to cultivating evil cultivation techniques and what had happened to his original orthodox faction.

“Sect Master Guan.” Qin Jue put his hands behind his back and said indifferently.

“Oh? You know me?”

The young man was surprised.

Before meeting Qin Jue, the Immortal Divine Sect had already thoroughly investigated Qin Jue’s identity, but they couldn’t find anything.

There were usually only two possibilities for such a situation:

Firstly, Qin Jue had always lived in seclusion and never appeared in public.

Secondly, Qin Jue had just ascended from a low-level dimension.

Whether it was that possibility, it proved that Qin Jue’s talent was absolutely not low.

As everyone knew, the most important things in the path of cultivation were spirit qi and resources. However, most of the resources were in the hands of those top factions.

If Qin Jue had been living in seclusion, it was naturally impossible for him to have too many cultivation resources. In other words, it meant that he had relied on using very few cultivation resources to advance to the God King Stage. How could someone with low talent achieve something like this?

As for the God King Stage experts who could ascend from the low-level dimensions, they were all top-notch geniuses.

Now, among the four high-level God King Stage experts in the Heavenly Realm, two of them were from low-level dimensions. It could be seen how exaggerated it was.

“I’ve heard of you.”

Qin Jue was neither servile nor overbearing.

“I see.”

Guan Ce smiled and said, “I heard from Lu Xing that your name is Qin Jue?”

“That’s right.”

Qin Jue picked his ear and lazily said, “What do you want?”

“Are you willing to join the Immortal Divine Sect?” Guan Ce said patiently.

“Lu Xing has already asked this question. He’s unwilling.”

Qin Jue refused without hesitation.

“…”

“Are you sure?”

Guan Ce narrowed his eyes with a dangerous light.

“Yes!”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll attack you?”

“No.”

“…”

Silence fell.

Boom!

The hall shook violently as invisible energy ripples spread out and soared into the sky!

The energy ripples came and went quickly. When the hall completely calmed down, Qin Jue stood in place unscathed, as if nothing had happened.

“What was the meaning of that?”

In that instant just now, Guan Ce suddenly attacked like a bolt of lightning. However, he chose to avoid Qin Jue the moment he was about to touch Qin Jue without causing any damage.

“I didn’t want to kill you. I just wanted to test you. You passed my test.” Guan Ce said indifferently.

“You also saved your life.”

Qin Jue laughed instead of being angry.

If Guan Ce hadn’t stopped just now and attacked Qin Jue directly, he would most likely have been severely injured by the backlash and might even have died on the spot.

However, what was Guan Ce testing?

“Young man, you’re too arrogant. But I like it.”

Guan Ce changed the topic and said, “Actually… I called you here to ask you for a favor.”

“A favor?”

Qin Jue was stunned and thought that he had misheard.

“Mm. As long as you are willing to help me hand this jade slip to the old ancestor of the Sword God Valley, I will let you leave right now.”

Guan Ce flicked his finger and a jade slip immediately fell into Qin Jue’s hand.

“Sword God Valley?”

Qin Jue was stunned. According to Wu Shi’s memories, wasn’t that an orthodox faction?

Among them, the patriarch of the Sword God Valley was even one of the four upper realm God King Stage experts. His sword techniques were peerless in the Heavenly realm. In terms of offensive strength alone, almost no one was his match.

Guan Ce actually wanted to contact the patriarch of the Sword God Valley?

What was going on?

Could it be that the patriarch of the Sword God Valley was related to the Immortal Divine Sect?

Or could it be that Guan Ce was actually a spy sent by orthodox factions to the Immortal Divine Sect?

In an instant, a conversation flashed in Qin Jue’s mind. “It’s been so many years, I’ve already become the sect master of the Immortal Divine Sect…”

In fact, this possibility could basically be ruled out, because with what Guan Ce had done in the past, it was absolutely impossible for him to be a spy.

“Why don’t you go yourself?” Playing with the jade slip, Qin Jue asked.

“I can’t leave this place.”

Guance pointed above his head. “They will sense it.”

They?

Qin Jue looked up and saw nothing.

“They don’t belong to this world.”

Originally, Guan Ce thought that after he said this, Qin Jue would reveal a surprised or frightened expression. Instead, Qin Jue’s eyes lit up, his face full of excitement!
