He Got In, Halfway In

"Hiss! The Xiang Clan leader himself is extending an olive branch!"

"Wow, no way! My God, this is going to be a windfall!"

"Sigh, is it really that difficult to join the Xiang Clan? Judging from that performance just now, I doubt many people here could do it."

Xiang Qing's appearance completely unsettled everyone.

Most of them understood the reason for the earlier thank you, and in fact, most of them thought the same thing.

Unexpectedly, the Xiang Clan actually responded, and they got straight to the point, asking if the person was willing to join the Xiang Clan for cultivation.

The level of importance attached to this is obvious to anyone with discerning eyes.

Some are happy, some are sad; at this moment, Jiuxiao are filled with sorrow.

He stared intently at the Winged Bird, the tension in his eyes unmatched by anyone present.

It would be a lie to say I'm not jealous.

Why is it that, despite my performance, I failed to join the Xiang Clan, while they were offered an olive branch directly?

What's even more infuriating is that the other party is also your enemy!

Right now, the most important thing is this Xiang Clan; we absolutely must not let that damned brat join.

If the other party really joins the Xiang Clan, how can I seek revenge against them in the future?

Give up hatred?

Absolutely impossible!

"Junior brother."

At this moment, the figure beside him seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at Qin Jiuxiao:

"Shouldn't you run away?"

Mo Gen also came to his senses and quickly said:

"Junior brother, you'd better leave quickly."

"Given this momentum, he's very likely to join the Xiang Clan. Once he Xiang Clan, if he wants to rely on the Xiang Clan, the Xiang Clan might take advantage of the situation. At that point, whatever he wants to do to you, I'm afraid no one can stop him."

The other person nodded and advised:

"Senior brother, even if Master is throwing a tantrum, if the Xiang Clan makes a move, I'm afraid Master won't be able to stop them."

Hearing the repeated persuasion, Qin Jiuxiao clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.

That damned brat, now he's stolen my plaything, and now he's stealing my glory!

But there was nothing I could do about it.

In the end, Qin Jiuxiao decided to protect himself and left first.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the other party, but rather that he was currently injured by his master and was not in good condition.

While Qin Jiuxiao was running away, Qin Han was secretly overjoyed.

Everything unfolded as he had predicted.

Now, he has not only gained strength, but he is also about to gain both strength and status.

"Elder Hua, look, you have to dare to do it to reap the rewards."

At the crucial moment, Qin Han didn't forget to send a telepathic message to Hua Yunfan.

That simple sentence immediately disgusted Hua Yunfan.

If she weren't afraid to attract attention at this moment, she would definitely go out and see if this Xiang Clan was just a name without substance.

She was well aware of this young man's current situation; how could a powerful member of the Xiang Clan not see it?

Qin Han didn't care about Hua Yunfan's lack of response.

At this moment, he took a deep breath and said with utmost solemnity:

"Yes, senior, I am willing!"

"Good."

Xiang Qing nodded, pointed his finger into the air, and his power condensed into the character "Xiang," stopping in front of Qin Han. He said:

"This is a token. Once you enter the Saint Realm, you may bring this to my Xiang Clan."

The crowd was slightly taken aback, and then many people showed expressions of disbelief.

"Does one need to reach the Saint Realm before entering? The Xiang Clan's requirements are really that high. Reaching the Saint Realm means one is extremely powerful, even among the major forces."

"This is the Xiang Clan, they have Saint Emperor. Before the Saint Emperor, even Saint wasn't considered strong. Moreover, after becoming Saint, that's when you need the strongest foundation to advance further."

"So that means you can't join the Xiang Clan yet, but you've probably already joined halfway?"

"Saint Realm, don't forget how much he just broke through. He's only a few minor realms away from the Saint Realm, and it probably won't be long before he does."

"Yes, and I sensed an extremely powerful force within those words, emanating from the hand of Saint Venerable. This is enough to be a life-saving measure."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion; while there was some surprise, none of it seemed entirely insignificant.

Only a small number of people seemed to sense something, and their faces showed a hint of amusement.

"After the Saint Realm?"

Qin Han was also somewhat surprised, but quickly dismissed it.

The Saint Realm, being so far beyond his current level, shouldn't be considered too difficult.

Since it's Saint Realm, then it's Saint Realm. At least for now, I have a powerful force to rely on again.

"Qin Han thanks you, senior."

Qin Han bowed again, Xiang Qing nodded slightly before disappearing from everyone's sight once more.

At this moment, in the Holy Water, Qin Han seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at the place where Qin Jiuxiao had been.

But the other person was no longer there, and there was no sign of them anywhere.

"What a coward."

Qin Han didn't take the whispered remark to heart.

With his current strength, he no longer needed to take his opponent's realm and strength seriously.

Although the other party has a woman to rely on, I have the Xiang Clan in addition to my ancestor. How could the other party dare to interfere?

The back of Winged Bird.

"Sir, what brings you here?"

Some people seem puzzled.

This move is unprecedented.

The choice was either not to enter at all, or to enter directly—this level of the Saint Realm was somewhat unexpected for them.

"He has potential, but he still needs experience; we'll see how he performs."

Xiang Qing spoke up, but didn't explain much.

This action was not intended to involve Qin Han or anyone else.

He was very clear about what most people present were focused on.

The Xiang Clan doesn't accept just anyone.

However, there is still some Holy Water energy remaining, and Qin Han's actions can be used to his advantage. If more people can follow his example, the progress can be accelerated further.

Therefore, there is no need to waste any more time here.

As for the consequences of absorbing the Holy Water's energy in this way?

We are just ordinary people, why bother with such things?

Inside the airship amidst the crowd.

"It seems this Xiang Qing] also has ulterior motives; it seems he's discovered something else," Sun Yi said.

Chen Kun nodded:

"Xiang Qing of the Xiang Clan is in charge, supposedly because of his extraordinary abilities. Judging from what just happened, he's either after something from this young man, or he's using him to achieve other goals."

"It should be this kid," Sun Yi said.

"His breakthrough was too hasty, and his foundation is now unstable, even more fragile. The Xiang Clan would never want him in this state, much less extend an olive branch. Yet, they did just that. This kid must be extraordinary."

"Have someone investigate; perhaps they'll find something interesting to sell."

After a pause, Sun Yi seemed to remember something, glanced at the Winged Bird, and said:

"Indeed, as Young Master Lu said, this Xiang Clan never intended to send anyone in the first place."

When powerful entities take action, it's not enough to just look at what they say; they also need to see what they do.

Chen Kun was about to nod when his expression suddenly changed. He turned his head to look in a certain direction and closed his eyes slightly.

"What?" Sun Yi asked.

A moment later, Chen Kun opened his eyes and said:

"The Xiang Clan people have arrived."
