Qin Ming's weathered eyes looked at Zhou Xingdou, and after scrutinizing him for a moment, his murderous intent gradually dissipated, though his tone carried a hint of self-reproach as he said:
"Looks like I'm too late."
Having said that, Qin Ming instantly appeared on the giant star chariot, and a thick stench of blood immediately filled the chariot, causing even Zhou Xingdou to frown slightly:
"How many were killed to cause such a bloody scene?"
Zhou Xingdou understood that with Qin Ming's current cultivation level, ordinary blood that touched him would be annihilated by divine light in an instant, leaving no trace of blood.
Only the essence and blood of a powerful being could leave a rich, bloody residue on Qin Ming's terrifying body, without being washed away by the divine light emanating from him.
Qin Ming let out a long sigh and slowly said:
"I can't count how many times I was dragged into another world that had been transformed into an array, where I had to kill all the living beings and powerful figures in that world before I could escape."
Upon hearing this, both Zhou Xingdou and Chen Nong felt a chill in their hearts and looked at Qin Ming with some surprise.
Even on the star surface of Commander Xingyou, the light flickered continuously.
Annihilate all living beings in this world!
No one dared to think about the sheer quantity involved.
If Qin Ming says he can't count them all, then he probably really can't count them all!
Even Zhou Xingdou couldn't imagine what a scene it was: blood flowing like rivers, living beings hanging upside down, flesh and blood piled up like mountains. This was probably not just an adjective, but a fact.
Chen Nong swallowed hard, his eyes filled with intense respect, and a hint of fear, as he looked at Qin Ming.
Killing a living being in a realm is easy to say, but bearing the karma and blood debt of that realm is something even the Creator God cannot bear, yet Qin Ming described it so casually.
Moreover, the world that could drag Qin Ming in without collapsing must be at least a large world, with countless powerful beings within it.
Moreover, Qin Ming managed to escape unscathed despite the formation created by the boundary, which gave Chen Nong, an old servant of the Zhou family, a new understanding of Qin Ming's strength.
Zhou Xingdou frowned, then looked at the head in Qin Ming's hand:
"This is?"
"The lord of that other world was the one who dragged me into his realm. He fought me for several rounds with the power of that realm, but his strength declined due to the extinction of all living beings. So he made me destroy my body and leave only my head."
As he spoke, Qin Ming lifted the blood-soaked head. Blood flowed from the head's bloodshot eyes, resembling tears. Just by looking at it, one could feel the head's tragic and miserable state.
Qin Ming glanced coldly at the severed head before continuing:
"He made a deal with Tianjizi to help Tianjizi hold me back, but he underestimated my strength. He not only harmed the lives of his own realm, but also many of his relatives and friends."
Zhou Xingdou would naturally not pity this realm lord who aided and abetted evil and hindered Qin Ming from harming him.
However, he was still somewhat confused as to why Tianjizi insisted on exiling him, so he asked:
"Does he know why Tianjizi did this?"
Qin Ming shook his head:
“He’s quite stubborn and always says he doesn’t know, so I’ve been keeping this head with me, constantly refining his soul and spirit, to see if he can reveal any secrets.”
After saying that, Qin Ming lowered his hand that was holding the head, but did not let go of the head, because if he did, the world lord who only had the head left could escape in an instant.
Zhou Xingdou raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled, and said:
"Is it possible that he really didn't know?"
It wasn't that Zhou Xingdou didn't trust Qin Ming, but Zhou Xingdou felt that if the Realm Lord and Tianjizi were just making a deal, Tianjizi naturally wouldn't tell him any secrets.
After all, if you're paid to help someone avoid trouble, why bother asking why?
Moreover, given Tianjizi's power, there's no need for him to reveal his secrets for a single transaction.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's weathered eyes widened slightly in surprise. The head in his hand vanished in a burst of divine light, but Zhou Xingdou still noticed that the head showed a hint of relief.
After the Realm Lord's head was obliterated, Qin Ming smiled helplessly:
"It was my impatience that blinded me to the killing and anxiety."
Such a simple matter would normally not require Zhou Xingdou's reminder. However, because he was concerned about Zhou Xingdou and burdened with the blood feud of a realm, he was bound to make some misjudgments.
Qin Ming also felt somewhat embarrassed, so he changed the subject and asked Zhou Xingdou:
"Lord Jue Tian has made a move?"
Zhou Xingdou immediately understood that Qin Ming was referring to his maternal grandfather, and nodded slightly.
"Yes, if it weren't for my grandfather's intervention, I would probably be dead at Tianjizi's hands by now."
After saying that, Zhou Xingdou tried his best to recall his grandfather, whose memory was becoming increasingly blurry.
When Zhou Xingdou was in a state of confusion, he heard Tianjizi call his maternal grandfather Jue Tianhuang, which is why he realized that the Jue Tianhuang mentioned by Qin Ming was his maternal grandfather.
However, it seemed that his maternal grandfather did not want him to remember him clearly, and deliberately made his memory vague, which Zhou Xingdou really did not understand why.
Seeing Zhou Xingdou nod, a sense of respect seemed to rise in Qin Ming's weathered eyes for the Lord Jue Tian he spoke of:
"With Lord Jue Tian making a move, Tian Ji Zi is probably no longer a threat."
Zhou Xingdou said with a somewhat complicated expression:
"Tianjizi is indeed dead, but my grandfather said that Tianjizi is a symbiotic spirit of the Primordial Realm. If he is not punished by Heaven and destroyed by the Dao, he will be completely destroyed and will be resurrected sooner or later."
Zhou Xingdou was still somewhat wary of Tianjizi, after all, Tianjizi was the only one in this life who had almost driven him to his death.
Moreover, it is an immortal symbiotic spirit, which is a threat that cannot be ignored for me now.
Qin Ming swept his divine light across his star robe, dispelling the stench of blood from his body and washing away the bloodstains on it. Then, he said with a strange expression:
"Does Lord Jue Tian leave Tian Ji Zi as your whetstone?"
Otherwise, given his personality and strength, he would never have given Tianjizi any chance of resurrection, nor would he have been unable to annihilate Tianjizi simply because Tianjizi was a symbiotic spirit.
"That's true."
After saying that, Zhou Xingdou looked at Qin Ming curiously, as if everyone except himself knew quite a bit about his maternal grandfather.
Even Chen Nong and Xing You, who were standing to the side, couldn't help but nod in agreement after hearing Qin Ming's words, as if they were quite familiar with the strength of that Absolute Emperor.
This inevitably made Stephen Chow sigh: Just how many secrets has the Chow family been hiding from him?
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's eyes flickered, as if he was struggling with something. After a long silence, he finally spoke:
"If you are worried about Tianjizi, I can accompany you to the Tianji Ancient Pavilion. After we destroy the Tianji Ancient Pavilion, we can see if we can find the so-called symbiotic spirit and find a way to seal it."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xingdou shook his head and refused Qin Ming:
"No need. Since it's a whetstone left for me, it should be used by me to sharpen the knife, not by you, Uncle Qin, smashing it."
At this point, a cold glint flashed in Zhou Xingdou's silvery-white eyes, and his voice turned icy:
"Moreover, I fear I will not be at peace if I do not avenge this wrong with my own hands!"
