However, Qi Chuan sensed that the aura emanating from its body wasn’t very strong, just seemed to be the level of a Tier Four Middle Grade Magical Beast.
Quite different from Qi Chuan’s earlier guess that it might be a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon.
"Looks like you won’t survive, let me help you out..."
Qi Chuan said, then flicked his finger, sending out a Sword Gang that instantly severed the neck of the Tier Four Middle Grade Magical Beast, which might have been heavily injured in a fight with other demons.
Then, after a bit of scavenging on its corpse, he found a Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Pearl.
Though it wasn’t a Tier Four Upper Grade, obtaining a Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Pearl was still quite worthwhile.
This Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Pearl can be refined using the Demon Pearl Refining Method into a Spirit Pearl for Senior Brother Qingyun to use once we return.
As for the rest, Qi Chuan only took two or three High Tier Magical Beast materials, nothing else.
There’s still plenty of time, no need to waste too much effort for these bits and pieces.
Finally glancing at the mountain peak, Qi Chuan was ready to leave in search of Tier Four Upper Grade Demons elsewhere.
However, just as he turned around to leave, his body halted, stopping him in his tracks as he lifted his head to look at the eastern sky, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Quite a coincidence..."
Qi Chuan muttered.
Immediately, he decided not to leave, waiting in place.
Whoosh!
Soon, a subtle sound of breaking through the sky echoed from the eastern horizon.
In Qi Chuan’s senses, a stream of Escape Light sped from the eastern sky and soon arrived in the nearby void, where the light stopped, dissipating to reveal a startled figure.
Qi Chuan looked up to see that the emerging figure was a middle-aged man, dressed in a luxurious High Tier Magic Robe, slender in build, with thick eyebrows and piercing eyes like swords, emanating a substantial True Monarch Spiritual Pressure.
This person was none other than the First Supreme Elder of the Ancient Spirit Sect of Celestial North State, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit.
"Qi Chuan? Why is it you?"
Upon seeing each other, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit was naturally surprised to see Qi Chuan standing before him.
Although he’d already planned that if he encountered Qi Chuan inside the Kunlun Demon Realm, how he would confront him.
Unexpectedly, he really encountered Qi Chuan now.
Moreover, there was no other Great True Monarch with Qi Chuan, whether Fellow Daoist Nebula’s three Nine Inches Great True Monarchs or Great True Monarch Qing Gang’s powerful Great True Monarchs, none were by Qi Chuan’s side.
This was undoubtedly an exceptionally good opportunity, so good that even the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit was pleasantly surprised to encounter such a chance.
His gaze shifted to the corpse of the Tier Four Middle Grade Magical Beast in the giant nest beside Qi Chuan.
He had originally come for this Magical Beast, suspecting it was a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon.
Upon arrival, he realized it was a Tier Four Middle Grade Magical Beast, already killed by Qi Chuan.
This should have disappointed him.
But now Qi Chuan stood before him, it wasn’t as important.
The most important thing now was Qi Chuan himself.
As long as he killed Qi Chuan, it wouldn’t be much different from slaying a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon in terms of gains.
Furthermore, it would resolve past grievances, letting him feel a sense of relief, and perhaps recover the Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl Qi Chuan snatched from him.
These gains were much better than just obtaining a single Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl.
"It’s me, I never expected, in such a scenario inside the Kunlun Demon Realm, to meet Fellow Daoist Ancient Spirit."
Sensing the joy and murderous intent in the gaze of the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit, Qi Chuan smiled slightly and spoke.
"Indeed, quite a twist of fate..."
Hearing Qi Chuan’s words, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit also smiled.
He looked at Qi Chuan, smiling as he said, "Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan, let me ask you one thing, was it you who took the Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl back then? I think you know, at this point, there’s no need to hide it."
Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan nodded openly and admitted, "Yes, I took it."
"I wonder, how did you manage it?" The Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit asked curiously.
Qi Chuan explained like confiding to an old friend, "Back then, I was in the Quasi-Great True Monarch Realm, coerced by your Ancient Spirit Sect’s Second Supreme Elder Jin Wuchen to do something, and in the process, there were two Flipping Abyss Earth Dragons. I killed one, and coincidentally, it was the one with the Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl in its body, just luck..."
After hearing Qi Chuan clearly explaining all the details from back then, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit chuckled, "So that’s it, but it doesn’t matter now, what you took from me will be returned with interest."
"By the way, what about the Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl you took? Where is it now?"
Qi Chuan smiled, "Sorry, Fellow Daoist Ancient Spirit, I didn’t bring it with me. That Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl has already been refined into a Spirit Pearl. It’s almost done now, in about a year or two, it will be fully transformed into a Spirit Pearl, and then it can be used for cultivation to improve my Cultivation..."
"Refined already? Where did you get the Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl Refining Method?" Hearing this, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit’s face darkened, given Qi Chuan didn’t carry the Demon Pearl, meaning even if he kills Qi Chuan today, he can’t retrieve the Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl.
Losing out on a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl’s gains made the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit quite upset.
"Hmm... I got it from Fellow Daoist Nebula," Qi Chuan explained with a smile.
"Indeed..."
The Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit appeared enlightened, "You are on good terms with Fellow Daoist Nebula and the others, those lofty Nine Inches Great True Monarchs, surely have the Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearl Refining Method on them..."
"Yet, still not enough. A pity indeed..."
"A pity? What’s the pity?" Qi Chuan asked curiously.
The eyes of the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit fell on Qi Chuan with a look of pity, "A pity that even though you’re friends with Fellow Daoist Nebula and those Nine Inches Great True Monarchs, today you entered the Kunlun Demon Realm and ended up separated from them, they are far away and surely can’t save you now."
"Oh? So, Fellow Daoist Ancient Spirit, are you planning to make a move against me?" Qi Chuan asked in surprise.
"You should be able to guess that today you can’t escape." The eyes of the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit locked onto Qi Chuan, a trace of murderous intent completely revealed in his pupils.
"That’s great." Listening to the words of the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit, Qi Chuan finally exhaled a breath of relief.
The eyes of the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit slightly narrowed as he stared at Qi Chuan, was Qi Chuan already driven mad by the threat of death?
"You have no idea how exhausting it is to successfully fish for trouble..." Qi Chuan looked at him with a face full of amusement.
"Fishing for trouble?"
Briefly hearing the phrase, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit seemed somewhat confused.
"Sea-Suppressing Sword."
But just as a glimmer of bewilderment appeared in his eyes, Qi Chuan softly uttered, and an ethereal blue light flew from his mouth, slightly trembling, transforming into a deep blue Lifebound Flying Sword, emitting streams of sharp Sword Qi, Sword Gang, Sword Intent which shredded the surrounding void.
It certainly was quite imposing.
"Qi Chuan, are you putting on a struggle like a trapped beast?"
Seeing this scene, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit dismissed the confusion in his eyes, coldly laughing as he looked at Qi Chuan.
Although Qi Chuan appeared serious, he knew that Qi Chuan, a Great True Monarch with shallow experience, wouldn’t have much strength.
