Gateway of Immortality

The Wang Sisters opened their mouths as if to speak, but Qin Sang interrupted them in a solemn voice. "This is no place to linger. Take the others and follow me."

His tone was extremely grave. The two women immediately realized the situation was worse than they had imagined. Without another word, they began organizing the group and assisting Qin Sang in the retreat.

Just then, a middle-aged man stepped forward from the crowd and bowed. "You must be Daoist Master Qingfeng? I was sent here under Elder Zhou’s instructions to deliver a message to you, Senior..."

Qin Sang turned in the midst of the chaos and studied the man. The man's composure and bearing were remarkable. Qin Sang gave a slight nod. "I am Qingfeng. What message? Speak plainly."

"Uhh..."

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then transmitted his voice directly. "Elder Zhou said that in five years, Seven-Kill Hall will be forcefully opened by a grand witch priest of the witch race. He asked that you make preparations as early as possible."

"Five years? Understood."

Qin Sang nodded. There was still plenty of time.

But then he suddenly froze, suspecting he had misheard. "What? A grand witch priest of the witch race will break the array? Isn’t Seven-Kill Hall a sacred ground of the human race, holding ancient relics of past cultivators? Hasn’t the entry of Spiritual Infant cultivators from the witch race always been forbidden? Why would they allow a grand witch priest to intervene?"

The title of "grand witch priest" was specific within the witch race.

Only cultivators at the late stage of the Spiritual Infant Realm were qualified to bear that title.

At present, the witch race had only one publicly recognized grand witch priest. His cultivation abode was located on Witch God Mountain. Qin Sang had only learned of this during a past journey through that region when Elder Zhou had mentioned it in passing.
