262 Things Are Different Now
He was an expert at the fifth-level bone pattern realm, yet he was being walked by a second-level bone pattern realm kid.
Zhang Can must have some important secrets related to the nine dragons true qi technique or the Nine Dragons sect. At the very least, he had never seen or heard of Qin Huai’s escape technique.
“That’s not right. Is Qin Huai the current leader of the Nine Dragons sect?” Zou Shuang suddenly reacted. He gritted his teeth and stood there, lost in thought.
Then, he turned around and signaled to September Hook that he needed to rest, having run out of energy. Moreover, he had failed to deceive the Nine Dragons sect and had lost more than a thousand disciples. He would need to consider the matter of taking their bones.
!!…
When Qin Huai returned to Niu Mountain, there was no longer any trace of the Sacred Heart sect’s army. Only the corpses on the ground began to emit an unpleasant odor.
Fortunately, it was already winter, and the harsh season had caused these corpses to solidify on the ground. The stench of corpses was likely due to the Sacred Heart disciples eating people.
There were many corpses on the ground, seventy to eighty percent of them belonging to the Sacred Heart sect, while the rest were from the Nine Dragons sect.
Qin Huai was puzzled by the presence of a red robe from the Twin Extreme sect. He quickly climbed the mountain, stepping on the dark soil that had been soaked in a large amount of blood and had become muddy.
As he saw people entering and leaving the mountain, he immediately became alert. He smelled a familiar scent in the air and quickened his pace.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several figures swarmed over from nearby. When they saw Qin Huai’s face, their expressions lit up, and they immediately knelt down on one knee. “Greetings, Sect Master!”
“Thank you for your hard work,” Qin Huai replied, nodding in response. He heaved a sigh of relief and walked straight into the mountain.
The disciples of the Nine Dragons sect who passed by him were stunned to see him, their eyes filled with fervor.
“Sect Master! Sect Master!”
“Sect Master!”
“Sect Master is back!”
Qin Huai looked at the worshipful faces of the crowd and felt a little emotional. Once upon a time, he was still the son-in-law that everyone hated. Now, the tables have turned. After this battle, his position in the hearts of the Nine Dragons sect’s disciples grew higher and higher.
There were many tents on the mountain for the disciples to live in. Qin Huai followed the guidance of a disciple and opened a cowhide tent. Inside, he found a full set of people, including Li Zeren, Li Shaoxiang, Li Zewu, and others.
As he scanned the area, his gaze suddenly stopped on a few red-robed men. The old man in the lead was tall, with a fiery feeling between his brows that was engraved into one’s heart.
Qin Huai knew that this was a subtle change that happened to martial artists after they cultivated force. The higher the realm, the more obvious this effect would be.
That was the feeling that the fatty Ji Yuan and six-fingered Zou Shuang from the Sacred Heart sect gave Qin Huai. As for the old man in front of him, he was clearly also an outstanding talent.
“This must be the sect master of the Twin Extreme sect,” Qin Huai said, smiling as he greeted the old man respectfully with cupped fists.
The sect master of the Twin Extreme sect stood up and returned the greeting with a smile. “I didn’t expect the new sect master of the Nine Dragons Sect to be Sect Master Qin instead of the Li family head.”
“Truly, heroes come from young people. The new generation surpasses the previous generation,” he added, his voice filled with admiration. “It seems that my old bones are about to reach the age of abdication.”
“You may be old, but your vigorous blood essence is not inferior to a young man like me,” Qin Huai complimented him.
“This time, it’s all thanks to the old sect master of the Twin Extreme sect,” Li Zeren sighed, explaining to Qin Huai. “We were originally following the sect master’s instructions and wanted to withdraw after poisoning them.”
He continued, “I didn’t expect the young man and the old sect master of the Twin Extreme sect to arrive from the side! We caught the Sacred Heart sect army off guard. Now they have all retreated.”
Li Zewu and the others rejoiced. “Niu Mountain was saved.”
As expected. It was not much different from his guess.
Qin Huai wasn’t too surprised when he went up the mountain and saw the corpses of the disciples. He could roughly guess what had happened.
“It’s all thanks to the people of the Twin Extreme sect!” Li Zeshi and the others couldn’t help but feel grateful.
Although they were not mortal enemies, they had been rivals for decades. Now that the Twin Extreme sect had come to their rescue, Li Zeren and the others were filled with emotions.
“The lips are gone, the teeth are cold. The cultivation method of the Sacred Heart sect is like draining the pond to catch the fish. They are the greatest enemy of the world.”
“Hahaha…I’m just icing on the cake,” the sect master of the Twin Extreme sect sighed with emotion. “The combat techniques of the disciples of the Nine Dragons sect seem to have changed a lot recently. When I saw your sect’s disciples fighting earlier, they had many tricks up their sleeves. Often, they successfully counter-killed two or three enemies at once…”
In fact, he was stunned when he saw the disciples of the Nine Dragons sect fighting. When the Nine Dragons sect disciples fought with others, they were all above the clouds, and their auras were somewhat sage-like.
However, things were different now. The most important thing was that their skillful poison technique had broadened his horizons. Their long sleeves seemed to have another universe, and they could spray out different colored poisons.
Li Zeren’s face turned red. “This is all thanks to the sect master.”
“It’s all thanks to the sect master’s teachings,” the others chimed in.
“It’s just that the disciples of my Nine Dragons sect have good comprehension,” Qin Huai humbly remarked, not taking all the credit for himself.
“Haha! It’s really a new sect master and a new atmosphere. The disciples of the Nine Dragons sect have all walked out a new road,” the sect master of the Twin Extreme sect laughed. “Actually, the main reason why we decided to send troops to Niu Mountain this time is because of one of my disciples.”
“Oh?” Everyone was interested.
“Yes. He’s actually here.”
At that moment, the cowhide tent opened, revealing a tall and sturdy man with a bare upper body walking in.
