"Back in the Nether Demon World, Azure Li Lord specifically told me to seek out only Lord Zhenheng and Lord Minhai."
Both were good friends of Azure Li Lord.
Azure Li Lord's instructions had been clear.
At first, Qin Hao had thought it was a matter of factional strife within the Azure Flame Sect. But after witnessing the Blood Demon Race invade the True Martial Continent,
Qin Hao realized things might not be so simple.
Ancestor Yanshi and Elder Tianyi had betrayed the Human Race for their own reasons.
There might well be traitors among the Human Race in the Star Sea, too.
Of course, that was only Qin Hao's guess. He did not know the truth.
Whatever the case, Qin Hao would follow Azure Li Lord's instructions to the letter and seek out Lord Zhenheng and Lord Minhai.
He had also considered what he would do if something had happened to Lord Zhenheng and Lord Minhai...
Then Qin Hao would devote himself fully to cultivation. Once he grew strong enough, he would go and help Azure Li Lord himself.
Or... when the time was right, he could report the matter to the Azure Flame Sect. To Qin Hao, the best people to tell were the Storm Sovereign and Illusion Master Lingyan.
But Qin Hao had never expected to receive news of Lord Zhenheng so soon.
"No matter what, I made a promise to Azure Li Lord. Now that I've joined the Azure Flame Sect,
"I must tell Lord Zhenheng about this."
Qin Hao steadied himself and resumed cultivating.
Three days passed in a blink. At the Mysterious Tower Spirit's reminder, Qin Hao emerged from seclusion.
Stepping out of the Cultivation Chamber and into the courtyard's bright sunshine, Qin Hao felt as though a lifetime had passed.
Nearly five years
