"Those three were sect cultivators from Black Cloud Valley in the Qilian Mountains, several hundred miles away. They coveted our Spring Autumn Temple's spirit vein and wanted to seize it for themselves. Tonight, they caught us off guard and launched a surprise attack on the temple, killing several of my disciples. If you hadn't arrived in time, Junior Brother Shen, we would probably have had no escape from death today," Qin Ming said.
As he voiced his gratitude, he secretly sized up this Junior Brother Shen, yet he could not discern the extent of his strength at all, leaving him increasingly shaken.
Shen Luo nodded slightly. Azure Radiance Mountain had an excellent spirit vein, while Qin Ming and his disciple were weak. Naturally, they made an easy target for covetous eyes.
