Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 81 Ignoring Qin Qing

Guan Dian hastily retreated, his heart filled with indescribable shock.

Others nearby were also staring at the suddenly appeared elder, horrified.

Who on earth was this person?

When did Luochuan have such a terrifying powerhouse?

Guan Dian was a half-step real person in the False Core Realm, yet when his axe came down, even a Golden Core Late Stage real person like Bai Qiuhe wouldn’t dare to block it so casually.

This implied that the elder was very likely to have broken through the pill and formed his Nascent Soul, and was a Martial Dao Master!

Old ancestor-level terrifying powerhouses were extremely rare even in the capital, Luochuan.

For instance, the Shangguan Clan Family had only one, but he hadn’t appeared for many years.

Some said that the Martial Dao Master of the Shangguan Clan Family was in closed-door death retreat and wouldn’t emerge until a breakthrough was achieved.

Others speculated that the Martial Dao Master had likely perished.

Only a very few families had Martial Dao Masters sitting in residence.

Furthermore, those Daoating in these Dao Masters from Luochuan’s noble families could generally recognize them.

"Esteemed elder!" Shangguan Yong stepped forward, clasping his fists in salute, "May I inquire as to your intentions?"

Shangguan Yong’s posture was very humble.

He knew that even as the current Prime Minister, he was nothing in front of a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Even the current emperor wouldn’t dare to offend a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Inside the inner court of the palace, there were also two ancestors stationed, and even the current emperor must show them great respect upon meeting them.

A Nascent Soul Ancestor of such caliber had already left the jurisdiction of the royal authority. They could come and go as they pleased, and although there might be those who could not kill them, absolutely no one could retain them!

Therefore, Shangguan Yong knew he had to lower his stance.

He inquired about the intentions of this Nascent Soul Ancestor.

If the old ancestor indicated even the slightest inclination to protect Qin Qing, Shangguan Yong would give up immediately.

Even if the seeds of hatred were deeply sown within him, he would absolutely not reveal them.

Shangguan Yong was well aware that offending a Nascent Soul Ancestor could potentially bring a calamitous disaster upon the Shangguan Clan!

He dared not take the risk!

Thus, he stood respectfully in front of the Martial Dao Master, not even daring to breathe heavily.

The elder glanced at Shangguan Yong with slightly narrowed eyes and after a few breaths, he spoke indifferently, "Just do not harm my young miss!"

Standing behind, Jiang Ruorong’s face turned cold the moment she heard the elder’s words.

Shangguan Yong, Guan Dian, and the others, however, were overjoyed.

As long as this mysterious elder who had suddenly appeared didn’t protect Qin Qing, they needn’t worry at all.

"Hahaha..." Shangguan Feixing also laughed heartily from behind, "Qin Qing, I’ve been saying, how could a lowborn like you from a small place possibly have an old-ancestor-level backer?"

"Indeed, you’re a genius, a rarely seen one at that. But what of it? A fallen genius is nothing, and what do you have to fight against us with?"

Beside Shangguan Feixing, there were many other young people—descendants of the notable families from the capital, Luochuan.

In their eyes, people like Qin Qing from minor regions were lowborn, insignificant, not from the same world as them.

Qin Qing glanced at Shangguan Feixing indifferently and shook his head.

He simply didn’t deign to argue with Shangguan Feixing.

In the eyes of people like Shangguan Feixing, those from other states and counties were lowborn whom they looked down upon.

But in Qin Qing’s view, people like Shangguan Feixing were the ones he disdained.

Born into noble families, possessing all sorts of superior cultivation resources, flaunting the title of geniuses, yet in reality, they were nothing but wine sacks and rice bags.

At this moment, Qin Qing was pondering the elder protecting Sister Jiang Ruorong, as well as the attitude of Shangguan Yong and others towards him.

It seems Sister Jiang’s background is extraordinary indeed.

A Nascent Soul old ancestor had been merely acting as a hidden guard by her side.

But that was not the point.

The focus was on how people like Shangguan Yong treated the old man, and—the old man’s attitude towards Qin Qing.

"If I, too, had the strength of a Martial Dao Ancestor like him, would Shangguan Yong and the rest dare to hunt me down? I’m afraid that even if I exterminated the Shangguan Clan Family, he wouldn’t dare to utter a single word of complaint," Qin Qing thought.

"Strength! In the end, it all comes down to strength!"

"Shangguan Feixing and the others look down on people from regional prefectures simply because those who come to the imperial city from these places don’t have strong abilities. If everyone from the regional prefectures who arrived in Luochuan possessed Golden Core or Nascent Soul Level strength, would they still dare to belittle them?"

"In the end, it’s all because they lack absolute, formidable strength!"

"Similarly—The old man at Sister Jiang’s side, he was unwilling to lift a finger to help me, even unwilling to convey the slightest intention to protect me."

"It’s because in his eyes, I’m simply not worth it. Perhaps to him, it’s only a trivial matter, but still, he is unwilling. In his view, it would be like giving alms, and he did not wish to bestow his abilities on an insignificant weakling!"

Qin Qing silently pondered in his heart.

At the same time, his desire surged once again at that moment, an immense yearning to become stronger!

Meanwhile, Bai Qiuhe, with his own strength, was battling three Golden Core Late Stage Martial Dao Masters and was still not at a disadvantage.

The name Bai Qiuhe was indeed well-deserved!

"Swoosh!"

This time, Shangguan Yong made a direct move towards Qin Qing.

Guan Dian and Lin Changfu were blocking Jiang Ruorong, not attacking her, but preventing her from protecting Qin Qing.

Qin Tao, Qin Tong, and others wanted to rush forward, but they were simply unable to stop those elite soldiers.

Shangguan Yong struck out with a palm.

"Whoosh!"

Space seemed to ignite in an instant.

Flames blazed up in the palm of his hand.

A violent surge of Spiritual Power rapidly coalesced into a burning Spiritual Power hand and rolled towards Qin Qing to crush him.

Qin Qing’s complexion immediately darkened, knowing he couldn’t block Shangguan Yong’s attack once he made his move!

Shangguan Yong, the current Prime Minister!

Yet his Martial Arts strength had actually reached the Golden Core Realm!

That’s right!

Shangguan Yong too was a Martial Dao Master!

When he was extremely well-known in Martial Arts, he chose to simultaneously engage in scholarly pursuits, participating in the Imperial Court’s imperial examinations.

Many believed Shangguan Yong, as the current Prime Minister, revealed a scholarly facade to the public, but they were utterly mistaken!

Now, with Shangguan Yong making a move, he showed his aggressive and domineering attack!

Qin Qing’s pupils contracted slightly, he had no way to avoid this palm, and could only brace to take the hit.

"Swoosh!"

In Qin Zhong’s hands appeared the long spear he himself had refined.

"Hum hum..."

With a swing of the spear, a blue flame enveloped it, and a sharp spear light slashed towards Shangguan Yong’s fiery palm.

"Crackle!"

In an instant, the flames on the fiery palm engulfed Qin Qing.

Before Qin Qing’s eyes lay an endless sea of fire, followed by an extremely ferocious force that fiercely struck him!

"It’s over!"

Many around instinctively closed their eyes.

A Golden Core True Person’s strike, how could Qin Qing possibly withstand it?

Qin Qing might be strong, but he was merely a Soul Refinement Realm martial master...

Almost everyone believed that under this palm, Qin Qing would undoubtedly die!
