Inferior in skill!

Star Lord of Water Virtue had never considered begging for mercy; in his mind, once defeated, it was up to the enemy to decide his fate. Begging tearfully for mercy would only bring disgrace upon oneself, tarnishing one's reputation and dignity. Even if it meant being killed on the spot, he would never resort to such actions.

As for Zeng Yuechong, he had completely despaired.

With the Divine Weapon of a Saint, Star Lord of Water Virtue wielded power at the level of Saints, but under the assault of a single finger from Qin Xuantian, he was utterly powerless and defeated in an instant!

What terrifying strength this was!!

Too strong!

Truly, too strong!

Qin Xuantian had become inconceivably powerful!

"Kill you?" Qin Heng suddenly let out a light chuckle, stood with his hands behind his back, and indifferently said, "Why would I kill you? Do you really see me, Qin Xuantian, as a person who takes pleasure in killing?"

Upon hearing these words, Star Lord of Water Virtue was stunned, looking at Qin Heng in utter astonishment, his expression bewildered. Is he not?

From Hong Tianshu to Hong Guchen, and even the entire Golden Buddha Temple, Huangfu Taiyi, Huangfu Zhenyang, and also the avatar from the Doomsday Bell Divine Ruin of the Gods, as well as that Innate Grandmaster from Japan!! All these people, weren't they crushed to death by you like ants? Decisively ruthless! In the Martial Dao world, the most frequent description of Qin Xuantian, without a doubt, was these four words. Now, what was he trying to do with his statement??

Star Lord of Water Virtue was completely puzzled, watching Qin Heng with a perplexed expression, unsure of his intentions.

"You can live, however…" Qin Heng looked at Star Lord of Water Virtue and said, "I want all the information you, the Myth Organization, hold on the Immortal Mansion ruins."

To Qin Heng, Star Lord of Water Virtue was nothing more than an ant; his life or death was insignificant. But the information on Immortal Mansion ruins was a different matter. This parallel world's Earth was quite peculiar, completely different from the Earth of Qin Heng's previous life. It had many ancient Immortal God inheritances and even Immortal Mansion ruins remaining, which must hide great secrets. Although the treasures, Divine Skills, and Immortal Laws within the Immortal Mansions did not greatly tempt Qin Heng, the very act of an Immortal Mansion's revival and opening could help him become acquainted with the hidden secrets of this world's Earth, thereby enhancing his perception of the Supreme Law and bringing him closer to the Realm above the Eternal Realm.

"What Immortal Mansion ruins?" Yet Star Lord of Water Virtue appeared utterly clueless, looking at Qin Heng with great puzzlement as he said, "What are you talking about? I have absolutely no idea!"

Clearly, Star Lord of Water Virtue was playing dumb.

"If you had said you've never seen them, perhaps I might have believed you," Qin Heng laughed and said, "But to claim complete ignorance, that is just too ludicrous."

The Myth Organization, affiliated with the government, possessed unparalleled mobilization capabilities; not even the Ancient Divine Sects could match it in manpower. With the impending revival of Spiritual Energy and the return of wondrous phenomena, the ancient Immortal Mansion ruins were soon to be unlocked—a fact even reclusive sects were aware of. How could Myth, an official organization with Saints among them, possibly be completely ignorant?

Star Lord of Water Virtue thought he was being crafty. In fact, it was his very act of feigning ignorance that gave him away, exposing that he had some understanding of the matter. Not only did he have some understanding, but he must also already know the importance of the Immortal Mansion ruins! Otherwise, he wouldn't be so eager to cover it up!

Upon hearing this, Star Lord of Water Virtue's face changed. Feeling his thoughts seen through by Qin Heng, he gritted his teeth and said, "This is impossible! I can't give you this information. These are the secrets of the Myth Organization, as well as national secrets! The information on the Immortal Mansion ruins is of vital importance. It relates to how far China will be able to go in the era of the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, and it relates to the future of our entire nation!! Qin Xuantian, don't set your sights on this information."

The Myth Organization is, by nature, part of the state military, established to combat foreign Transcendents, protect the ordinary citizenry, and covertly cultivate transcendent powers. They hoped to stabilize China's footing among world powers after the great changes during the resurgence of Spiritual Energy. As for those Ancient Divine Sects, although they embodied the concept of the Divine Province, they lacked the concept of a nation-state and cared even less about the lives and deaths of ordinary people. Guarding ordinary people, maintaining their safety, and allowing them to become strong enough to uphold collective interests and governance—such acts are only undertaken by a nation.

Qin Heng also understood this principle, so he was not surprised by Star Lord of Water Virtue's reaction. He said, "I am not interested in the treasures and Cultivation Techniques within the Immortal Mansions. Go find someone with the authority to make decisions to come and talk to me."

What the Myth Organization wanted were the treasures and Cultivation Techniques from the Immortal Mansion ruins, while Qin Heng merely wanted to explore and assess the essence of these Immortal Mansion ruins. Through this, he aimed to deduce the profound principles contained within to advance his cultivation, moving even closer to the supreme realm above eternity. The two were not actually in conflict. There was indeed room for negotiation, and Qin Heng believed that the Myth Organization was not comprised of unreasonable people. After all, individuals like Lv Chunyang and other key members of the Myth Organization he had encountered before were not rigid and old-fashioned. Of course, if the Myth Organization turned out to be obstinately unyielding and refused to budge, they couldn't blame Qin Heng then.

Having heard what Qin Heng had to say, Star Lord of Water Virtue's eyes showed fluctuating light, and he seemed extremely conflicted. After a long hesitation, he finally bowed respectfully to Qin Heng and sighed, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for sparing my life. I will report this matter."

To forsake one's life for righteousness is not something everyone can do; faced with the hope of survival, few choose to give up. Moreover, Qin Heng had already stated that he had no interest in the treasures and Cultivation Techniques of the Immortal Mansions, thus eliminating the conflict with the Myth Organization and possibly leaving room for collaboration. At this point, Star Lord of Water Virtue simply agreed.

After uttering these words, Star Lord of Water Virtue's tense spirit suddenly relaxed considerably, and he instantly felt how good it was to be alive.

Thereafter, Star Lord of Water Virtue withdrew the barrier created by the Heavenly Water Boundary Partition. The water screen enveloping the surrounding areas and the sky above dispersed. He then turned into a streak of water-blue light, shot into the sky, cut through the air, and vanished from sight.

The independent space that separated the two realms disappeared all at once, and the figures of Qin Heng and Zeng Yuechong reappeared in the eyes of those outside.

Although Qin Heng and Star Lord of Water Virtue had just engaged in a formidable confrontation within the independent space, for the people on the outside, hardly a second had passed. It was almost as if, in the moment they were slightly taken aback, they saw Zeng Yuechong already kneeling on the ground right in front of Qin Heng, spitting out blood, looking exceedingly miserable.

This sight stunned everyone on the spot!!

"Zeng Yuechong is seriously injured!? Could it be that Qin Heng really made a move and crippled his martial skills—my heavens! That's audacious!!"

"Unmitigated audacity! This is unmitigated audacity! To cripple Zeng Yuechong is to utterly offend the Zeng Family of Youzhou. Even if Qin Heng had nine heads, it probably wouldn't be enough to save him!"

Many people exclaimed, their gazes filled with shock as they looked toward Qin Heng.

Nobody expected this! That Qin Heng would actually dare to lay a hand on Zeng Yuechong, truly daring to cripple this genius Martial Artist from the Zeng Family of Youzhou!!

"It's over!" Xun Hanyan's face turned white at once.

Being a Grandmaster of Transcendence herself, with sharp Spiritual Sense, she could clearly feel how extremely feeble Zeng Yuechong was now; all his vital energy had dissipated, and his Inner Strength was completely gone!

His martial skills were utterly destroyed!!

"Qin Heng, are you asking for death!?" Xun Hanyan glared at Qin Heng, her face flushed with anger as she said, "That's a martial family with a millennium-long history! They could crush you with just a finger!!"
