Chapter 819 - 767: Who Goes There?
The news of the Sphinx being destroyed by Heavenly Thunder and reduced to dust, vanishing from the world, continues to spread.
The headline-grabbing explosive news that shocked the globe occupied the front pages of countless media outlets worldwide.
However, no one would think that this wasn’t a natural disaster, but a man-made calamity!
The perpetrator who made Egypt cry traveled leisurely thousands of miles and returned to Huaxia.
Did Qin Fan know the Sphinx was destroyed? Yes!
But he felt nothing.
Destroyed it may be; what does Cairo’s pride or the symbol of Egypt have to do with him?
As he returned to Jinling before dawn, through the stars and moon.
Thousands of miles away, at Kunlun Mountain.
Two men walked one behind the other, stepping on dead branches towards the path to the mountaintop!
Rustle rustle-!
Rustle rustle-!
The piercing cold wind whipped up waves of biting chill.
But it was not as cold as the chilling aura emanating from the two men walking on dead branches and leaves!
No words exchanged between them.
Just stepping forward evenly under the pitch-black night.
Atop Kunlun Mountain.
At the edge of the cliff.
The ever-meditating Qin Lian, the Demi Immortal, suddenly snapped open his lightless eyes.
As he said, the eyes may be blind, but the heart is not!
And it’s a heart that fell from Divine Realm Cultivation to Gang Realm Cultivation.
So, he already sensed that someone was approaching.
Those two auras were not the Four Old Monsters, nor Hua Xiaotian!
A thick, surging coldness emanated from the opponent.
It was evident that the opponent was coming directly for him.
Thinking of this.
He shouted sternly, "Who goes there!"
Under Qin Lian’s shouted question.
Li Tiandao and Little Two did not respond.
The rustling sound of walking continued forward.
Ahead.
Qin Lian furrowed his brows as he sat at the edge of the cliff.
If not for the absence of killing intent from the opponent, he would never have given them the opportunity to get close.
"Who goes there!"
Without waiting for a response, it didn’t mean Qin Lian would remain indifferent.
Immediately, he shouted again.
And his body stood upright, turning toward the direction of Li Tiandao and the others.
His ears trembled vaguely in the wind.
"Little Two, you don’t need to follow me!"
Still ignoring Qin Lian, Li Tiandao spoke lightly to Little Two, back facing him.
"Yes, Master!"
Upon hearing.
Little Two said no more.
He crossed his hands behind him and turned around.
With Little Two standing firm in place.
Li Tiandao’s pace continued evenly towards Qin Lian.
"Do not attempt to strike me; it would be moths to a flame!"
With only ten meters left, Li Tiandao felt Qin Lian’s stirring and spoke coldly and deeply.
Shush-!
The pale curved brows knitted.
Qin Lian slightly loosened his hands behind his back.
Only his breathing uncontrollably became somewhat rapid.
His mind instinctively filtered through names he knew.
As his thoughts raced.
The ten meters were walked by Li Tiandao.
Standing at the edge of the cliff.
Beside Qin Lian.
He spoke first, "Haven’t you been looking for me all along? Well—I am here!"
Looking at the abyss below, indistinct under the dark night, Li Tiandao’s voice was incredibly indifferent!
However, as soon as this opening statement came, concerning his arrival.
Qin Lian couldn’t help but tremble suddenly!
Suppressing the sudden tension in his heart, he said, "What are you saying?"
"Wise men don’t speak in riddles, nor should you play dumb! Haven’t you been searching for the Son of Heavenly Dao? That’s right, that’s me, and I’m here! Now speak, give your reason for frantically searching for me!"
Without ever glancing at Qin Lian, Li Tiandao spoke casually at the cliff.
"You say you are the Son of Heavenly Dao?" The throat gulped uncontrollably, unable to mask the inner excitement provoked by these words, Qin Lian exclaimed.
"My time is limited! I didn’t come to hear your nonsense!"
He let out a disdainful cold laugh.
Li Tiandao radiated an air of arrogance that seemed to eclipse the world.
"Give me your hand!" Not caring about Li Tiandao’s arrogance, Qin Lian shuddered violently.
But as the words fell.
He couldn’t wait to extend his hand, gripping Li Tiandao’s arm to touch his palm.
At this.
Li Tiandao instinctively wanted to retaliate.
But he suppressed his emotions in the final moment of clarity.
He knew what Qin Lian intended to do.
Relaxing the cold tension on his face.
He let out a dismissive smile, allowing Qin Lian’s withered hand to grasp his forearm and explore his palm.
For a long while.
After Qin Lian felt the palm patterns of Li Tiandao’s hand several times.
His face surged with an unprecedented excitement and agitation!
"The Son of Heavenly Dao, the Son of Heavenly Dao, you are indeed the Son of Heavenly Dao, these are definitely the palm patterns structure I glimpsed from the Heavenly Dao!"
Letting go of the held hand.
Like talking incoherently, Qin Lian trembled uncontrollably with excitement.
After speaking.
Suddenly, he knelt heavily before Li Tiandao!
"Qin Lian, the Demi Immortal, greets the Son of Heavenly Dao!"
"Arise!"
Regarding Qin Lian’s sudden kneeling.
The Son of Heavenly Dao felt little sentiment.
After all, many more have knelt before him.
A mere Qin Lian, who fell from Divine Realm to Gang Realm, honestly, was hardly worth moving him.
"Thank you, Son of Heavenly Dao!" Raising his hands in salute, tremblingly he spoke.
Qin Lian didn’t linger further, standing his still-trembling frame upright.
"As I said before, I didn’t come to hear your nonsense! What is your intention in seeking me, speak!" Li Tiandao stated indifferently with a cold detachment.
In response to Li Tiandao’s reiterated remark.
Qin Lian paused.
And Li Tiandao seemed in no rush to urge.
For a while.
Bang-!
Qin Lian knelt again.
But unlike before, this time it was on one knee!
"I hope the Son of Heavenly Dao grants this old slave sight anew; I vow to dedicate all my life’s labor to the Son of Heavenly Dao!"
With blind eyes facing Li Tiandao, Qin Lian trembled with increasing tension.
Indeed.
His ultimate purpose in searching for Li Tiandao was still about those eyes!
Human nature is selfish, especially to a former king.
He couldn’t bear the disparity of blindness.
This was also why he remained at the mountaintop of Kunlun Mountain for decades without descending!
Though selfishness aside, the desire to pledge allegiance to the Son of Heavenly Dao was genuinely present.
After all, as one capable of glimpsing into the Heavenly Dao, he knew that for breakthroughs in Martial Arts, in search of the legendary elusive Vast World, only the Son of Heavenly Dao could provide help!
Should there be a chance, in this process, he was willing to offer everything except his body!
"I am not a good Samaritan, and I look down upon good Samaritans too! Gaining sight anew is not difficult, but what can you give me? Your life’s labor? A Gang Realm’s life’s labor? Do you think I care?"
Turning around, looking down upon the kneeling Qin Lian, Li Tiandao skewed his head and toyed.
