Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 615 - 325 Holy Artifact Master Cultivation Technique, Sword Manual
The Sword Saint snapped out of his thoughts and asked flatly, "Was it you who suggested that I should take refuge at the Demon Eye Base?"
Qin Shou nodded, smiling without saying a word.
"And was it also you who secretly orchestrated everything behind the scenes when I was being senselessly hunted down by the Demon Sect?" The Sword Saint’s face darkened.
Qin Shou hurriedly shook his head and explained, "Senior Sword Saint, you can’t blame me for that. At the time, I only wanted you to see the true nature of the Demon Sect as it stands today. It was never my intention to put your life in harm’s way. My nature is very pure—Earth people can attest to that."
"You..."
The Sword Saint’s beard bristled with anger, and he stared daggers at Qin Shou, very much tempted to slap the young man to death.
However, considering that this brat’s skills were extraordinary and his thoughts terrifyingly deep, the Sword Saint forcibly restrained his trembling hands and flung his sleeve in frustration.
"Hmph, Qin Shou, was all that merely for me to see the true nature of the Demon Sect?" The Sword Saint scoffed coldly.
Qin Shou stared at him with an expression akin to looking at a fool, "Senior Sword Saint, if I told you that was true, would you believe me?"
"Of course not."
"Exactly."
"Don’t you have any respect for the elderly and care for the young...?"
"Wait a minute, isn’t it true that respecting the elderly isn’t customary on the Heavenly Artifact Continent?" Qin Shou interrupted.
The Sword Saint widened his eyes, his tone beginning to lose control.
"You brat! Remember, it’s you who’s asking me for help right now!"
Qin Shou shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Senior Sword Saint, you must have guessed wrong. You thought I intended to join forces with the Sword Sect to deal with the Demon Sect, didn’t you?"
"Isn’t that the case?" The Sword Saint said, hands folded behind his back with a slight huff.
"Of course not."
Qin Shou smiled and said, "Senior Sword Saint, do you know what the members of the Demon Sect have turned into now?"
"What have they turned into?" The Sword Saint raised his brows in curiosity.
"Mirror Planet people from the Mirror Planet!"
"Mirror Planet people?"
Recalling Mo Yuanxiu’s Mirror Space and the terrifying ability to clone originals, the Sword Saint trembled fiercely in realization.
"No wonder... no wonder. Mirror Planet people, perfectly replicating every member of the Demon Sect—no wonder, indeed!" The Sword Saint murmured in shock.
Qin Shou continued, "It seems Senior Sword Saint has figured it out. Given the Mirror Planet people’s terrifying ability to perfectly replicate all living creatures without any flaws, even if the Sword Sect agreed to join hands, we would not stand a chance against them."
The Sword Saint turned back with a grave expression and said, "If you have no regard for my Sword Sect, then surely you’re aiming to use me as a stepping stone to unite the Heavenly Artifact Continent as a whole!"
Qin Shou smiled and nodded, "That’s right. So, Senior Sword Saint, are you willing to lend your support?"
The Sword Saint waved his hand dismissively, refusing outright.
"Impossible. You outsiders from beyond the heavens are mortal enemies of the Heavenly Artifact Continent. Even if I tried to mediate, they would never agree."
Qin Shou’s eyes narrowed slightly. He could tell from the Sword Saint’s surface-level rejection that what he truly feared was the stance of other sects.
Having witnessed firsthand the terror of the Mirror Planet people, Qin Shou couldn’t believe that the Sword Saint had no thoughts about forming an alliance.
The Sword Saint himself knew that if the Mirror Planet people were allowed to rampage unchecked, not only the Demon Sect but even the Sword Sect would be drawn into the vortex.
Of course, the so-called Galaxy Alliance wouldn’t fare any better.
But being a negotiator wasn’t an easy role to play. Even though he was known as the strongest below God Realm within the Sword Sect, in matters involving other sects, he wasn’t sure they would give him any face.
If anything went wrong, it would inevitably bring trouble to the Sword Sect.
Not wanting to take such a risk, his current plan was merely to inform the sects to be wary of the Mirror Planet people.
Meanwhile, Lin Ke, seated on the sofa nearby, stared intently at Qin Shou, her large, Karishma-branded eyes full of curiosity and confusion.
This Earth man’s tone... why did it sound so similar to that other guy?
Seeing her expression, Qin Shou discreetly turned his body, sighing inwardly about the scariness of women.
"Senior Sword Saint, I understand your difficulties. How about this: you only need to act as a bridge for connections. I’ll handle the specifics, so there won’t be any burden on the Sword Sect. How does that sound?" Qin Shou smiled.
The Sword Saint wavered slightly, "You’d better think this through. If they lose control upon seeing you and decide to attack, even though you’ve saved us, I might not be able to protect you."
Qin Shou smiled confidently, "Rest assured, Senior Sword Saint. Since I dare propose this, I naturally have confidence."
The Sword Saint thought for a moment before finally making up his mind.
"Alright then. I’ll handle the preliminary matters, but I hope your intentions to form an alliance are genuine. Don’t try pulling any tricks behind our backs."
"Relax. The Mirror Planet people are overwhelmingly powerful. Even if we form a true alliance, we may not win. Dividing ourselves internally would only cause quicker deaths—we’re not fools."
"Alright, I’ll trust you this once."
"Thank you, Senior Sword Saint. Please take care on your way."
"No, you’re coming back to the Sword Sect with me."
"Why?"
"Hmm... On the way there, can you explain the production process of that cola drink to me? I’ve taken quite a liking to it."
Qin Shou: "..."
If you want to keep an eye on me, just say so. Using cola as an excuse—shameless!
...
On the Western Continent, the Demon Sect recently saw an influx of powerful Holy Artifact Masters, launching large-scale attacks on the Demon Eye Base.
The Demon Eye Base had only Heavenly Eye, Thunderbolt Fire, and El—three High Order Demigod Realm cultivators—and against the sudden wave of Mirror Planet people, they were caught off guard and forced to seek external assistance.
The Giant God Race and DeLu Planet each sent several strong fighters, while Earth only dispatched Zhang Qianqiu, largely as a token gesture.
It was a well-known fact that Earth’s Demigod Realm cultivators were the weakest around—there was no way they’d send Elder Long from the God Realm to participate, right?
Inside the spaceship cabin.
Upon hearing the news, Qin Shou immediately sought out the Sword Saint.
"Senior Sword Saint, what’s your take on this?" Qin Shou asked.
The Sword Saint’s expression flickered slightly, "The Demon Sect... No, the Mirror Planet people presumably intended to hide their strength and plan something, but you, brat, disrupted their plans, forcing them to reveal their ambitions outright."
Qin Shou nodded lightly, "We must accelerate the alliance efforts. If the Demon Eye Planet doesn’t hold the line and withdraws from the battlefield, the Heavenly Artifact Continent is bound to descend into even greater chaos."
