At the word "Elder," Qin Ming's heart trembled. He had assumed that this red-robed middle-aged man who had descended from the sky was merely a Soul Douluo-level expert.
He had never expected him to be an Elder of the Worship Hall. Every Elder in the Worship Hall was at least a Soul Power Level Ninety-Six Peak Douluo, standing at the very pinnacle of the continent.
"This junior did not know that Fourth Elder was before him. I was disrespectful earlier; I beg Fourth Elder's forgiveness!" After learning the red-robed middle-aged man's identity as an Elder, Qin Ming bowed once more.
Whether or not Qin Ming had truly been disrespectful before, the other man had already declared himself an Elder, so Qin Ming naturally had to show his respect.
"No matter." Xiong Shi did not care about it. Instead, he studied the Fire Demon Spirit in his grasp with interest, then looked at Qin Ming and asked.
"But you've got some skill, kid. I've been stationed in Blazing Sun Valley for decades, yet I've never discovered any trace of a Fire Demon Spirit. Where did you provoke this one?"
Ever since becoming an Elder, Xiong Shi had been ordered by Grand Elder Qian Daoliu to guard Blazing Sun Valley. His purpose was to keep watch over the hundred-thousand-year Blazing Sun Beast Emperor in the Core Area, preventing it from causing trouble and damaging the formations around Blazing Sun Valley.
Xiong Shi's own Martial Soul was the Blazing Lion, a top-tier fire-attribute Beast Martial Soul. Cultivating in Blazing Sun Valley was greatly beneficial to him, so he had not refused the assignment.
Xiong Shi had spent decades in Blazing Sun Valley and had visited nearly every place within it. Even so, he had never found any sign of a Fire Demon Spirit.
