Another reason was that his fellow disciples would surely give Qin Ming some good things when they met him, so Qin Ming could benefit from them as well.
Then, Xiong Shi's mighty crimson soul power surged forth, forming a thick yet gentle barrier of soul power that steadily protected Qin Ming within.
Before Qin Ming could say anything more, Xiong Shi raised a hand around his shoulders and stomped against the air. His body shot into the sky like a crimson meteor, flying straight out of Blazing Sun Valley.
Wrapped in Xiong Shi's soul power, Qin Ming did not feel the slightest bumpiness.
At Xiong Shi's level, even if his Martial Soul was not a flying type, he could rely on his immense soul power to fly through the air for long periods.
After leaving Blazing Sun Valley, Xiong Shi flew directly toward Spirit City with Qin Ming. As the holy land of Spirit Masters, Spirit City prohibited aerial flight by Spirit Masters according to its rules, but that rule clearly did not apply to Xiong Shi as an Elder.
When the two arrived above Spirit City, several figures rose from below. They were the city guards, all Spirit Masters with flying-type Martial Souls.
However, when they saw the token Xiong Shi presented, symbolizing his status as an Elder, they clasped their fists in salute and retreated.
Xiong Shi led Qin Ming all the way toward Holy Mountain. Before long, master and disciple had reached its mountainside. As far as the eye could see, grand halls had been built along the mountain slopes. This was the main structure of Pope Palace.
At that moment, Xiong Shi's soul power suddenly withdrew. He then descended slowly with Qin Ming, landing steadily before a flat stretch of white jade steps on the mountainside.
