What had happened to Chen Jianqing angered Qin Hao, but it also struck him as strange.
"Chen Jianqing fell into the Great Gang Hidden Land through the lake. I found its entrance—a stone gate—at the bottom of that same lake. It only appeared after I attacked the gate."
"Chen Jianqing was badly wounded at the time, yet after falling in, his injuries healed rapidly..."
A chill ran through Qin Hao. The Great Gang Hidden Land must hold a secret. And it's probably closely tied to the Skyward Gang Sect's sudden collapse in ancient times.
Think about it.
Someone gravely injured and on the brink of death had fallen into a place, only to recover miraculously and even advance in cultivation.
Wasn't that enough to show something was wrong?
Boom!
Rumble!
"Mine! Hahaha, the treasure is mine!"
"Brat, die!"
The sounds of fierce fighting carried over once more.
With them came Jiao Hong's excited roar.
Qin Hao's expression changed when he heard it.
"Damn it, that's Jiao Hong!"
His gaze sharpened. Sure enough, Jiao Hong had reached the battlefield in the distant sky without Qin Hao noticing. He swept both hands through the air, sending waves of Gold Laws surging outward!
Under that assault, the Phantom Image of Shi Ye's Undying Phoenix Remnant Soul flickered unsteadily.
Qin Hao's heart sank at the sight.
Shi Ye was strong!
But much of his strength came from the Undying Phoenix Remnant Soul.
And because of it, Shi Ye had already lost his senses.
It was, after all, the remnant soul of a Three Tribulations Lord of Nirvana.
No ordinary Saint Martial Grandmaster could control it.
In other words, Shi Ye could rival a Venerable only by relying on the remnant soul. Jiao Hong was different: his power came entirely from his own cultivation and
