Huofen Kingdom; Extreme Realm Spiritual Sense

It took a long while before Qin Hao and Liu Mei finally pulled apart.

At this moment, Qin Hao felt as though his tongue had gone numb.

His palm slid down her soft, slender waist and patted her firm curves, then he said with a smile, "Alright, we aren't safe yet. Once we leave the Outer Realm Battlefield, there will be plenty of opportunities!"

After speaking, Qin Hao licked his lips, seemingly savoring the aftertaste.

"Mm-hmm!"

Liu Mei's pretty face flushed crimson, the rosy glow spreading all the way to the roots of her ears.

She bit her red lip with her pearly teeth and buried her head in Qin Hao's chest, not daring to look at him.

Qin Hao held Liu Mei, his gaze passing through the Chaos Bead to observe the outside world.

Although he had already seized Zhou Zihong's Soul Blood, he still felt somewhat uneasy.

Zhou Zihong kept the Chaos Bead tucked close to her body and steered a Flying Sword toward the location of the Teleportation Array.

At this moment, a large number of Cultivators had already gathered there.

Their gazes drifted toward the Wandering Souls floating in the distance from time to time, their faces filled with terror as they anxiously waited for the Teleportation Array to activate.

Many of them deeply regretted participating in this Outer Realm Battlefield clearing mission.

Not only had they failed to obtain many treasures, but they had also encountered grave dangers and nearly perished here.

Seeing Zhou Zihong appear so quickly, Yang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward, asking with concern, "Junior Sister Zhou, he didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"Yang Xiong, what do you mean by that?"

Zhou Zihong's dark brows furrowed slightly as she demanded coldly, "Are you hoping something would happen to me?"

Yang Xiong explained, "Junior Sister Zhou, I didn't mean anything else; I was just concerned about you."

"Concerned about me?"

Zhou Zihong sneered and said, "If you were truly concerned about me, why didn't you stay back there just now?"

"I..."

Yang Xiong was left speechless.

"The Teleportation Array is opening!"

Someone shouted, and the crowd of Cultivators here all breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll go first!"

"I'll go first!"

Those Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection stage scrambled to seize the positions first.

Zhou Zihong and her two companions were not weak, so they were naturally able to leave relatively early.

After they departed, Wang Lin led a sky-covering swarm of Wandering Souls to the location.

Huofen Kingdom.

At the summit of Fentian Volcano.

A massive Teleportation Array stood here, surrounded by a large number of War God Temple Cultivators.

With six Nascent Soul stage experts, the War God Temple naturally sat firmly on the throne as the number one sect in Huofen Kingdom.

Before entering the Outer Realm Battlefield, the War God Temple had also suppressed all other rivals to secure the sole qualification.

Suddenly, the Teleportation Array began to flicker.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the figures of Zhou Zihong and the other two appeared.

Seeing this scene, Huo Hongfei, a Core Formation Elder of the War God Temple, immediately frowned.

Ten people from the War God Temple had entered the Outer Realm Battlefield, yet only three had returned.

One had to know that those selected to enter the Outer Realm Battlefield were all elites of the War God Temple, with the potential to become Core Formation Elders in the future.

Losing seven elite disciples of the War God Temple all at once naturally pained him deeply.

When he saw that Zhou Zihong had returned, the heart he had been holding finally settled.

Those disciples did not understand Zhou Zihong's identity, but he was very clear about it.

She was the daughter of the War God Temple's Nascent Soul Ancestors, Yang Sen and Feng Luan.

If Zhou Zihong had also perished in the Outer Realm Battlefield, his days in the War God Temple would likely have been difficult.

"Greetings, Master (Elder Huo!)"

Zhou Zihong and the two others stepped forward to salute.

"Not bad!"

Huo Hongfei scanned the three of them and said, "In this Outer Realm Battlefield trial, Zihong and Yang Xiong have both broken through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and Lin Tao is slightly behind, but he is also on the verge of a breakthrough. Since you have all returned, let us head back to the sect!"

"Master, you all go back first!"

Zhou Zihong suddenly spoke up, "I have other matters to attend to and will need to return later."

"This..." Huo Hongfei looked uneasy. "What kind of business? Can't you return to the sect first?"

Zhou Zihong said in a low voice, "Master, when nature calls, must you ask for such specific details?"

She did not want the others to stay, as this was an order given to her by that mysterious senior.

Hearing this, Huo Hongfei did not press the matter further.

He said to the others, "Let's go, we are returning to the sect first!"

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

The next moment, the group of cultivators steered their Flying Swords and departed from the mountaintop.

Only Yang Xiong looked back at Zhou Zihong, sighing inwardly.

After everyone had left, the Chaos Bead flew out from Zhou Zihong on its own, and Qin Hao's figure manifested from within.

Inside the Chaos Bead Space, Qin Hao was the absolute master.

He had partitioned off a separate area for the Wandering Souls to survive in, so he did not need to worry that they would devour Liu Mei while he was away.

"Senior!" Seeing Qin Hao appear, Zhou Zihong hurriedly bowed in greeting.

Qin Hao waved his hand. "No need for such formalities!"

He turned his gaze toward the Teleportation Array, waiting for Wang Mazi to appear.

Zhou Zihong asked curiously, "Who is the Senior waiting for?"

"An old acquaintance," Qin Hao said with a smile.

"Hum!"

As they spoke, the Teleportation Array lit up once more. A thin, frail figure stepped out from within, accompanied by an overwhelming, frigid aura.

"He is here!" Qin Hao's heart stirred.

[Ding!]

[Detected that the highest grade of Spiritual Sense within the Fentian Volcano is the Extreme Realm Spiritual Sense. The Host has also acquired Extreme Realm Spiritual Sense, and the Host's cultivation advancement will no longer be hindered by the Extreme Realm Power!]

"Ha!" Hearing the system's notification, Qin Hao could not help but look pleased.

Not being affected by the Extreme Realm Power meant that he could increase his cultivation at any time, without having to wait for the system.

"Junior Brother Ma Liang, you didn't die?" Seeing the figure that appeared, Zhou Zihong's face immediately lit up with joy.

Back in the Outer Realm Battlefield, Ma Liang had once given her a Youth Preserving Pill, which was why her appearance had remained that of a twenty-year-old.

But soon, Zhou Zihong frowned.

Although the person before her looked exactly like Ma Liang, his entire temperament was completely different.

He gave her the feeling of a block of Ten Thousand Year Black Ice capable of freezing one's soul; his eyes were filled with such ruthlessness and coldness that they were intimidating to behold.

"Junior Brother Wang, we meet again!" At this moment, Qin Hao's voice rang out.

"Junior Brother Wang?" Hearing this, Zhou Zihong's expression changed drastically.

It was obvious that Ma Liang had been possessed by an Old Monster.

Seeing Qin Hao's figure, Wang Lin's heart sank.

He had never imagined that even after coming to another Cultivation Nation, he would still run into this person.

Could it be that the other party had also come through the Outer Realm Battlefield just like him?

Thinking of his own death and how the Heavenly Reversal Bead had been exposed on the spot, Wang Lin had already guessed the other party's intentions.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Qin." Wang Lin cupped his hands in a salute.

Just as he was about to speak, Qin Hao took out a Soul Banner and tossed it to him. "Junior Brother, I will give you this Soul Banner. How about you give me some Spirit Liquid in return?"

Wang Lin was stunned, unable to figure out what the other party was planning.

He took the Soul Banner and swept it with his Spiritual Sense, discovering that the souls of his parents and the entire Wang Family were inside.

"Fine!"

Although Wang Lin felt somewhat puzzled, he still took out several dozen Jade Bottles and tossed them to Qin Hao.

These were the Spirit Liquid he had newly produced on the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Back then, when Teng Huayuan destroyed his physical body, his Storage Bag had been shattered along with it.

Fortunately, as long as he had the Heavenly Reversal Bead and dew, he could produce Spirit Liquid in a continuous stream.

Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy on the Outer Realm Battlefield far exceeded that of the outside world, so the quality of the Spirit Liquid he produced was also far superior to when he was in the Zhao Kingdom.

"Junior Brother Wang!"

Qin Hao stowed away the Spirit Liquid and said to Wang Lin, "This place is called the Huofen Kingdom, separated from the Zhao Kingdom by the Demon Cultivation Sea. If you ever need any help, Junior Brother, you can come to the War God Temple to find me!"

As his voice faded, he had already vanished from the spot, taking Zhou Zihong with him.

"Pfft!"

Only after Qin Hao had left did Wang Lin clutch his chest and open his mouth to spit out a pool of stagnant blood.

Although he had broken through the Realm Law and returned from the Outer Realm Battlefield, he had sustained injuries as a result.

"Now, I urgently need to find a safe place to go into seclusion and heal my wounds!"
