The greatest threat in the Mist-Vanishing Sea was Li Tian Sage Lord. As a high-rank Dao-Origin Divine Lord, his strength was immense.
Moreover, Li Tian Sage Lord was a Dao-Origin Divine Lord from the Origin World Era. Ordinary Dao-Origin Divine Lords were simply no match for him.
Yet Qin Hao had never imagined that Li Tian Sage Lord was actually absent from the Mist-Vanishing Sea.
As long as Li Tian Sage Lord was not there, the threat would be much smaller.
"Qin Hao, Li Tian Sage Lord's true self is indeed absent from the Mist-Vanishing Sea, but his doppelganger is still there."
Hearing Qin Hao's words, Dao Lord Zhǐtiān paused, then explained.
His true self was absent.
His doppelganger remained.
And that doppelganger was far from weak.
Still, a doppelganger was ultimately just a doppelganger. There was a considerable gap between it and the true self.
Qin Hao nodded and asked, "Is Li Tian Sage Lord's doppelganger a Dao-Origin Divine Lord?"
"Probably not, but he has at least the combat strength of an Early-Stage Dao-Origin Divine Lord."
Dao Lord Zhǐtiān considered for a moment, then said gravely, "Li Tian Sage Lord's absence from the Mist-Vanishing Sea actually has something to do with you."
"With me?" Qin Hao was puzzled.
"Dharma Lord Qingyan!" Dao Lord Zhǐtiān said.
Qin Hao froze, then understood.
Dharma Lord Qingyan was the deceased Dao-Origin Divine Lord Qin Hao had encountered in the Ninefold Demon Abyss.
She was Dao Lord Zhenyue's senior sister, and the culprit who had caused her death was Li Tian Sage Lord.
"Ever since Dao Lord Zhenyue learned that Li Tian Sage Lord was responsible for Dharma Lord Qingyan's death, he has repeatedly tried to kill him to avenge her and wash away that hatred."
So said Dao Lord Zhǐtiān.
Qin Hao nodded.
