Gao Wu: You broke off the engagement at my 100th birthday banquet, do you dare take my punch?

The opponent was actually a Grandmaster!

"He calls himself the Thirty-Second Elder, which means... there are at least thirty Grandmasters within the Pantheon?"

Qin Changsheng took a deep breath, his emotions still unable to calm down for a long time.

"You two are very interesting."

The young man who called himself Xu Mo sized up Qin Changsheng and Qin Yan, then smiled, revealing a rather sunny grin: "How about this? If you voluntarily join the Pantheon Cult and provide me with two hundred milliliters of blood each month for my research, I'll spare your lives. What do you say?"

There was not a trace of murderous intent in his tone.

but.

These words sent a chill down the spines of both Qin Changsheng and his grandson.

If we say...

The opponent is at the same spiritual realm as Lin Lie, so Qin Changsheng might still be able to grit his teeth and fight to the death.

But can face a grandmaster...

Let alone him, even a martial artist at the third level of spiritual power would have no chance of resisting a grandmaster!

"I have limited patience."

Xu Mo flipped and leaped, his movements as light as a swallow, landing in front of Qin Changsheng. He paced back and forth with a casual expression: "So you only have one chance to answer. Either satisfy me, or..."

His smile remained bright, a wide grin that made him appear exceptionally harmless.

But Qin Changsheng understood.

Even the weakest grandmaster is not someone I can contend with now. Don't be fooled by his victory over Chen Shanhe; that victory was only possible because Chen Shanhe had self-imposed limitations on his cultivation level.

If it were to directly confront a Grandmaster at their peak.

Qin Changsheng had no doubt that the other party could blow him to death with a single breath.

"This is it..."

Qin Yan's face was ashen at this moment.

Facing a grandmaster-level expert, he couldn't think of any way to contend with him. The only thing he could think of was to self-destruct his own blood and qi, so that... he could die with a little more dignity.

"I……"

Qin Changsheng forced himself to calm down, but just as he was about to speak, Xu Mo suddenly stopped smiling, his figure flashed, and he appeared in front of him, saying with a half-smile, "Think it over. You only have one chance to speak. If I'm not satisfied with your answer, my methods can be quite cruel."

"Really? How cruel is it? Would you mind letting me experience it for myself?"

Just now.

A deep, resonant voice suddenly rang out from outside the door. The instant the voice faded, an invisible spiritual force enveloped Qin Changsheng and Qin Yan, instantly restoring their mobility from the suppression of Xu Mo's spiritual force.

All I saw was...

A middle-aged man dressed in a black combat uniform strode in from outside the courtyard gate. His imposing, square face was filled with arrogance and coldness: "Xu Mo of the Pantheon Cult, seventh on the Grandmaster Wanted List, head of the Black and White Gene Research Institute. I've been looking for you for a long time."

"Grandmaster Chen?"

Qin Changsheng and Qin Yan were both stunned, the latter's eyes widening: "How could you... be here?"

"It's a long story."

Chen Shanhe glanced at Qin Yan, nodded to Qin Changsheng, and then said calmly, "I'll deal with this person first, and then I'll explain everything to you in detail. You two should go far away and avoid being caught in the crossfire."

talking.

A surge of blood and qi erupted from his body, and within a radius of a hundred meters, it was as if even the air had been sucked out. The once peaceful courtyard was now filled with the oppressive force of dark clouds pressing down on the city and threatening to destroy it!

"Chen Shanhe..."

Xu Mo narrowed his eyes, looked him up and down, and then suddenly grinned and said, "Tsk tsk, the famous Iron-Blooded General on the battlefield of ten thousand races, I can't beat you. I'm just a researcher, I don't need to fight you."

"Since you insist on protecting them, then I'll take my leave."

The words were spoken.

His figure soared into the air, his blood and spiritual power erupting simultaneously, and he flew south like an arrow released from a bow.

"Hmph, trying to escape?"

Chen Shanhe snorted coldly, bent his knees slightly and leaped up. He was as fast as a ghost and chased after the direction the other party had fled. In the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared one after the other.

"We're saved!"

Qin Yan plopped down on the ground, a look of lingering fear on his face: "Luckily, Grandmaster Chen came, otherwise, we might have really been in danger today..."

"Um."

Qin Changsheng sighed softly. Even with all his trump cards, he still couldn't possibly defeat a Grandmaster. Just now, he was already thinking about how to deal with the opponent expediently.

After a while.

Chen Shanhe turned back, his figure descending from the sky and landing in the courtyard.

"He got away."

A hint of frustration appeared on his face: "That Xu Mo is incredibly resourceful. Our military has chased after him many times, but we haven't been able to catch him."

Qin Changsheng nodded: "Thank you, Grandmaster Chen. However, I am a little curious, why would a Grandmaster come here? Could it be... that you knew in advance that Xu Mo would be coming?"

No, not at all.

Chen Shanhe shook his head and said frankly, "After receiving your call, I didn't actually plan to come in person. It was last night that the results of the third round of martial arts exams came out, and Qin Yan's score was guaranteed to get him into the top military academy. So, I came to fulfill my promise and accept him as my student."

"Unexpectedly, I sensed the aura of the Grandmaster of the Pantheon."

"I see."

Qin Changsheng understood, and at the same time glanced at Qin Yan: "So, it was you who saved our lives, kid."

"Just lucky, just lucky."

Qin Yan grinned and chuckled, then awkwardly touched his nose. "It was mainly because Grandmaster Chen kept his word and came personally to save us in time."

"You silly child..."

Chen Shanhe was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter and said, "Although this sounds a bit like flattery, I like to hear it."

The tense atmosphere dissipated in an instant.

After exchanging a few more words, Chen Shanhe suddenly changed the subject, looking at Qin Changsheng: "Brother Qin, have you ever wondered why the Pantheon Sect is targeting you?"

"this……"

Qin Changsheng hesitated.

He could certainly guess that the Pantheon was targeting him because of the Liu family, but the key was that he had no evidence. Liu Ruyan was also Chen Shanhe's student, and if he directly called her out by name, the latter would definitely lose face.

After a moment's thought.

Just as he was about to speak, Chen Shanhe's phone rang.

"I'm taking this call."

Chen Shanhe glanced at the caller ID, made a slightly apologetic gesture, and then pressed the answer button: "Ruyan, what can I do for you?"

Compared to the past.

His tone turned slightly colder because Liu Ruyan's performance in the first round of the martial arts exam had embarrassed him as her teacher, and with Qin Yan as a contrast, his attitude naturally changed somewhat.

"teacher……"

Liu Ruyan's voice was choked with emotion and tinged with hesitation.

After a while.

She finally made up her mind and said, "I...I want to report the Liu family!"
