After exchanging a few blows with Hong Ji, Qing Xun found it somewhat unbelievable. Having absorbed the Water Spirit Force from the icy water released by the Water Spirit Pearl on Jiutuo Mountain, his strength had increased significantly, reaching the peak level of a High-level Magic God.
He remembered that when he left Seven Pearl City, Hong Ji was just an Intermediate Magic God. Logically, in their battle, he should have had a clear advantage, but for some reason, Hong Ji's strength was actually on par with his, and their few exchanges ended in a draw.
This startled Qing Xun. Could it be that during the time he was away, Hong Ji had also encountered some major opportunity?
As Hong Ji engaged Qing Xun, the four grand elders of the Zhulu family also surrounded them.
In ten years, Hong Ji had enough time to eliminate dissidents, and now the four grand elders were his confidants, sure to help him deal with Qing Xun.
