As he approached the destination, Qin Ming slowed down his flight speed.

"This is!" Qin Ming's pupils constricted; he had found Jue Wuya.

Jue Wuya's current state was not good; he was covered in blood and tied to a tree. However, seeing that his breathing was steady and his life was not in danger, Qin Ming felt relieved.

Sweeping his gaze to the side, he 'saw' an old man with white hair and beard watching carefully. This old man was precisely the Martial Venerable from the Pill Alliance who had escaped.

Qin Ming frowned. This Martial Venerable had been defeated by him in a single move. Although it was a surprise attack, it proved his strength was not very great. If so, what confidence did he have that he could kill him?

Qin Ming continued to search with his Heavenly Eye. Whether it was a Formation or hidden people, the Heavenly Eye could find them, though it took some time.

One mile away from Jue Wuya, underground, six Martial Venerables were sitting cross-legged.

These six Martial Venerables were actually from the Great Xia Dynasty's Imperial Family, the Zhengqi Sect, the Zhengxin Sect, the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the Jue Ming Pavilion. Every single one of them had arrived here.

"Do you think Qin Ming will come? I always feel it's a bit far-fetched for Qin Ming to risk himself for a subordinate," the Martial Venerable of the Righteous Qi Sect said. He was a Sturdy Big Man with thick eyebrows and a square face. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary farmer, but no one could ignore the surging Aura radiating from his body.

"He will come!" The Martial Venerable of the Heavenly Demon Sect narrowed his eyes and said confidently, "According to my investigation, although Qin Ming is decisive in killing and extremely ruthless to his enemies, he actually values friendship very much. He is a man of temperament; he will definitely come this time."

The Martial Venerable of the Heavenly Demon Sect wore a cloak that completely covered his face. Faint traces of Spiritual Qi radiated from him, and his voice made it impossible to tell his age, appearing very eerie.

"That's good then," the Martial Venerable of the Zhengxin Sect said indifferently, glancing sideways at the Martial Venerable of the Heavenly Demon Sect while constantly playing with the thin sword in his hand.

This thin sword was as fine as a needle; when it moved slightly, its image could not be seen at all.

On the other side, after careful investigation, Qin Ming finally discovered the Martial Venerables hidden underground.

Even though he had guessed it beforehand, seeing the Martial Venerables underground made Qin Ming gasp.

"There are only twelve living Martial Venerables in the Great Xia Dynasty, and more than half of them are my enemies. This is too ruthless!"

Qin Ming had thought there would be an ambush, but he hadn't expected there would be so many Martial Venerables or that the Formation would be so strong.

"Just what kind of heinous things have I done for all of you to target me like this?" Qin Ming gritted his teeth, his heart hardening.

This was also Qin Ming's own oversight; he usually handled matters very maturely.

Being the Sect Master of the Huayu Sect, he had long ignored his own age, often regarding himself as the person from his previous life—that ten-thousand-year-old immortal.

He hadn't expected that on this continent, his age of twenty-something would be seen as the greatest threat.

He hadn't expected these Martial Venerables to be so narrow-minded because, on the Yuan Continent, a Martial Venerable would never kill a Genius out of jealousy or fear.

After all, on the Yuan Continent, Martial Venerables were not the overlords of the continent; it wasn't their turn to be fearful.

Above them, there were still Martial Saints and Martial Gods.

Moreover, even for a twenty-something-year-old Martial Venerable, the probability of a Breakthrough to Martial God was minuscule.

In fact, even on the Yuan Continent, it had been a very, very long time since a Martial God had broken through. Martial Gods rarely moved about the continent and had almost become legends.
