Following the interrogation, above the Abyss of Heavenly Fire, an ethereal and illusory figure gradually materialized, none other than Qi Sixiang, his face etched with smugness and conceit.
However, at this moment, he seemed spectral, not of the soul, standing as though he did not exist in this world.
Even within the Divine Sense perception of the many powerful beings present, he was completely non-existent.
Such a strange phenomenon naturally caused everyone to be deeply shocked.
Xue An simply watched quietly until after a while, he finally spoke with a light chuckle, "Know my crime? What crime should I know of?"
Qi Sixiang cackled strangely, "Xue An, you slaughtered my clansmen, killed my son, your crime deserves death! However, as the dignified Clan Leader of a noble clan, I possess a generous spirit, if you submit to me now, then I am not without the consideration to spare you!"
"Oh? Submit to you?" Xue An asked with interest.
"Exactly!"
At this point, a glint of greed flashed in Qi Sixiangâs eyes, "But the prerequisite is that you must give me all of the secret techniques and Cultivation Techniques you possess! Only then can I let you off!"
This was the true intention of Qi Sixiang.
In fact, he had long coveted Xue Anâs endless and exceptionally powerful secret techniques. If he could really obtain them, the Heavenly Fire Divine Clan would not only become the foremost noble clan in the universe, but they could even advance to the High-Ranked Divine Realm, becoming a mighty clan that dominated the entire Divine Realm.
Compared to this, the deaths of clansmen, even that of his two sons, were insignificant.
Upon hearing these words, Xue An remained silent, as if he were seriously considering the feasibility of Qi Sixiangâs proposal.
At this, the faces of the Taiyin Deity Clan members all changed, especially Zhong Ananâs, whose face flickered with a trace of panic.
My lord... You wouldnât really submit to this Qi Sixiang, would you?
Even Zhong Anan could see that the current Qi Sixiang was clearly not that simple.
Just the fact that nobodyâs Divine Sense could detect his presence was enough to show that he now undoubtedly had full confidence.
As a member of the Taiyin Clan, Zhong Anan had naturally heard many legends about the Abyss of Heavenly Fire.
It was said that this was a place rarely found even within the Divine Realm itself, filled with countless Heavenly Fire, and possessing various marvelous uses.
Thinking this, Zhong Ananâs heart couldnât help but rise to her throat as she looked at Xue An with a face full of worry.
Qi Sixiang, seeing Xue An bowing his head in silence, could not help but rejoice inwardly, and then continued to say, "Rest assured, as a powerful Clan Leader, I would absolutely not vent my anger over the so-called deaths of clansmen and sons on you, and even after you offer up the secret techniques and Cultivation Techniques, we both could join hands. By then, though the Divine Realm is vast, we could roam freely!"
Without a doubt, as the Clan Leader of a noble clan, Qi Sixiang was exceedingly skilled at manipulating peopleâs hearts.
At least these words wavered the minds of many, as they saw this opportunity as once in a lifetime, so certainly Xue An would agree.
Qi Sixiang also watched with a smile, while inwardly scheming about wringing Xue An dry of usefulness before letting him taste the process of Heavenly Fire refinement.
But just at that moment, Xue An let out a soft sigh, "As a powerful Clan Leader overseeing a noble clan, your actions could be seen as nothing excessive! But the biggest problem with you is..."
Xue An abruptly looked up, "you have no bottom line!"
"To you, pursuing strength by any means may seem perfectly normal, but once you hold that mindset, the power you control will ultimately become the very sword that leads to your downfall!"
"After all, when oneâs eyes are clouded, they can no longer see more! Weakness and ignorance arenât barriers to survival, pride is!"
These words left many in the crowd showing expressions of confusion and puzzlement, for they did not understand.
Only Zhong Anan was slightly taken aback, a thoughtful glimmer appearing on her face.
However, Qi Sixiang evidently could not take in these words; his face darkened as he responded with a sinister smile, "Xue An, itâs not your place to lecture me. Donât think that just because you could traverse thousands of miles previously, you can do anything to me now? The place I stand is beyond your reach!"
With that, Qi Sixiang laughed proudly.
"Oh? Is that so?" Xue An scoffed coldly, then took a step forward.
