"Heavens, this is unbelievable! How could you not have died?"
"He only sustained superficial injuries—even his bones are completely intact. This is incredible luck. Kid, you really have nine lives."
At that moment, the Demon Subduing Sect disciples—those with serious injuries still lying on the ground—had all gathered around Qing Xuantian, repeatedly examining him and tending to his wounds.
"Get lost."
Qing Xuantian had always despised being touched by others, let alone by a group of people he considered beneath him.
"Sigh, you child, why are you so ungrateful? We're trying to heal you."
Seeing Qing Xuantian's attitude, the Demon Subduing Sect disciples grew displeased.
Only the white-haired girl who had been the first to discover that Qing Xuantian was still alive remained by his side.
And Qing Xuantian couldn't care less about what they thought of him.
Right now, Qing Xuantian was quite troubled. Based on his strength, he should have been more than a match for that fierce beast. The reason things had turned out this way was that his power had been sealed.
And Qing Xuantian knew the cause—it was the God-Granted Spirit Object.
Although the God-Granted Spirit Object had been refined by him, it had not yet fully merged with him.
Due to the unique nature of the God-Granted Spirit Object, Qing Xuantian's power had been temporarily sealed.
Once the God-Granted Spirit Object completely fused with Qing Xuantian, not only would his cultivation be restored—it should actually increase.
However, Qing Xuantian had no idea when the God-Granted Spirit Object would fully merge with him.
At this moment, Qing Xuantian felt a twinge of regret—regret at having shaken off his uncle. After all, right now, aside from possessing the tough body of a Xuan Wu Realm expert, in every other respect he was no different from an ordinary person.
Being in such a state made traversing this world rather dangerous.
"What's going on?"
Just then, a voice rang out. Following the sound, more than a dozen figures appeared.
These were all members of the Demon Subduing Sect. Among them, most were young men and women, with only three adults. A thin, middle-aged man stepped forward and looked in Qing Xuantian's direction as he asked.
"Master, we successfully killed the man-eating demon creature here." At that moment, all the others except the white-haired girl rushed over to the middle-aged man.
"That was merely a fierce beast—not the demon creature haunting this place," the thin man said with a smile.
"Not a demon creature?" The young men and women seemed unwilling to believe it.
"The demon beast causing trouble here couldn't even be handled by a Yuan Martial First Level expert, let alone the likes of you," the thin man said.
"That powerful? Then I suppose only Master can deal with that demon beast," the Demon Subduing Sect disciples said.
This thin, middle-aged man was none other than the branch leader of the Demon Subduing Sect, named Ma Kun.
For Ma Kun to have become a branch leader, he naturally possessed considerable strength—he was a Yuan Martial Second Level expert.
All the young men and women here were his disciples. As for their cultivation, most were at the Spirit Martial First Level, with the strongest among them only reaching Spirit Martial Third Level.
Therefore, they held deep admiration for their Master Ma Kun.
"That's exactly why this place is extremely dangerous. You must not wander off on your own—you need to follow me. Understood?" Ma Kun said.
"We understand," the young men and women answered in unison.
"What's the deal with this child?" Ma Kun asked.
The young men and women then recounted what had happened.
After learning the full story, Ma Kun was quite astonished that Qing Xuantian had survived.
However, he was still somewhat concerned about Qing Xuantian's condition and wanted to personally examine his injuries.
But who could have predicted that just as Ma Kun approached Qing Xuantian, the latter would say something so shocking that it left everyone in utter disbelief?
"You—take me to Taiping City immediately," Qing Xuantian said to Ma Kun.
Had it been only that, Ma Kun and the others might not have been so stunned.
The truly unbelievable part was that Qing Xuantian had said it as a command—as though Ma Kun were his subordinate.
