With this battle over, the soldiers can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
The powerful Quasi-Jun also returned from the high-altitude battlefield and was naturally delighted to receive such strong support. He personally invited Qin Qi, Qing Litian and others to the palace at Nankou Pass.
Here, Qin Qi also saw some of the strongest beings in the Thirteen Alliance.
Caia Erebus.
Ryan Phillip.
Elis Roderick.
These are the three giant clans of the Thirteen Alliance. Their ancestors were the pinnacle monarchs, and their bloodline is second only to the divine blood. Now, within the clan, there are quasi-lords who are close to the monarchs, and they are the core combat strength of the Thirteen Alliances.
It was with this confidence that they dared to propose entering the Holy Mountain.
In addition, there are many princely clans that also have strong quasi-kings, but most of them are first- or second-step quasi-kings, which cannot be compared with the three major clans.
As for Coral's clan, Bluejes, they were not even present at the moment, and their status was obviously not high.
With so many big figures gathered together, even if they didn't deliberately exude coercion, it would still be quite astonishing.
However, at this moment, their attitude toward the two juniors Qin Qi and Qing Litian, especially Qin Qi, was very polite, even with a sense of awe.
"Is this a descendant of Hephaestus?" Ryan Philip looked at Lina who was following Qin Qi, a little surprised.
Lina's girl's appearance is so beautiful that she will not be ignored wherever she goes.
But the aura of explosive flames on her body is even more concerning.
Why are the descendants of Hephaestus also with Qin Qi?
Is this part of Hephaestus' will?
This is understandable, and it is easier for people to accept it than Qing Litian coming to this battlefield.
After all, Hephaestus had always been at odds with Apollo, and Apollo and Zeus were in the same camp, vaguely opposed to the Saint.
This time the Saint extended a helping hand to the Thirteen Alliance, and it was not impossible for Hephaestus to take the opportunity to express some attitude.
"This is the sixteenth successor of Hephaestus, Lina." Qing Litian introduced.
Even among the twelve clans, most heirs outside the top ten will not pay attention to them. The most potential they have is to become a prince, and it is difficult to reach a quasi-king or even a prince.
Therefore, those present did not know Lina's identity, but Qing Litian actually knew something about it.
"I see, being able to follow Your Excellency Qin Qi, it seems that Lina's niece's position in Hephaestus will soon be promoted." Caia Erebus laughed.
Then his eyes moved away from Lina and fell on Ying Xiu.
He naturally recognizes Ying Xiu, this is the bloodline of Erebus, his son.
"Father." Ying Xiu stood beside Qin Qi and saluted Caiya Erebus, but that was all, and there was no unnecessary closeness.
In fact, there is no need for that kind of closeness.
Ying Xiu is just one of his many sons. His maternal clan bloodline can only be considered average and his potential is not outstanding. He was previously sent to Zhongzhou to perform a mission.
Since then, he has never returned.
Cai Ya didn't care about this. In the demon clan, family ties were far less strong than in the human clan. The so-called father and son were more of a relationship between upper and lower classes.
But I didn't expect that Yingxiu not only returned, but also followed Qin Qi.
It seems that the two of them have been familiar with each other since they were in the human race.
"Ying Xiu, my proud son, I am so happy that you are back!" Cai Ya laughed and gave Ying Xiu a big hug.
Qin Qi represents the Saint, and Shadow Xiu, who follows Qin Qi, can naturally become the bridge between Erebus and the Saint.
With such an effect, it is naturally impossible for Cai Ya to cultivate shadows like before.
"I'm also very happy to see my father again." Ying Xiu said with a smile, his demeanor and etiquette were meticulous, and no one could find any faults.
However, he also seemed to have little emotion.
Cai Ya didn't care. The blood of Erebus was flowing in the shadow cultivator, so naturally he couldn't get rid of Erebus.
"Yingxiu, from today on, you are the third heir to Erebus. I believe you will not let your father down!" Cai Ya said with a smile.
The third overall pick, given Ying Xiu's current level, is a bit unsatisfactory to be honest. After all, he is not even a prince.
Cai Ya obviously took this into consideration, so he took out an exquisite gift box at the right time and handed it to Ying Xiu.
"This is the blood of the shadow. It allows you to cross the road to the prince." Cai Ya said with a smile.
Hearing this, the expressions of the tribesmen present in Erebus changed.
Unexpectedly, Cai Ya placed such a heavy bet on the shadow cultivator, even sending out the blood of the shadow source, but thinking that this was a sign of goodwill towards Qin Qi, he was relieved.
However, the higher-ranking successors of Erebus don't look very good, and Shadow Cultivator has obviously posed a threat to their status.
"Thank you, father." Yingxiu naturally had no reason to refuse.
Qin Qi watched quietly, his eyes flashing slightly at this moment, and he said with a smile: "Shadow cultivator, just absorb this shadow origin blood."
Ying Xiu was startled, frowned and said, "Sir, I'm not ready to survive the tribulation yet."
"As long as I'm here, you don't need to prepare anything." Qin Qi said calmly.
When the shadow cultivator heard this, he did not dare to disobey Qin Qi. He immediately gritted his teeth and directly took out the shadow source blood.
The shadow source blood is not so much blood as it is an extremely concentrated shadow. It is beating thickly and the space has become dark.
Those shadow positions began to twist and grow, making people very uncomfortable.
Shadow Xiu took a deep breath and swallowed the shadow origin blood. Immediately, the shadow magic power on his body began to tremble violently and continued to increase.
Everyone's expressions changed. If the shadow cultivator survives the tribulation here, then all of them will suffer.
Shadow Xiu naturally knew this, and his body turned into a shadow and rushed directly into the void outside the palace.
His aura was still soaring. He, who had been a half-step prince, finally broke through the shackles at this moment.
The way of shadow is clear to the heart!
Dark clouds gathered in the sky instantly, thunder beat, and rained down punishment.
To go through the thunder calamity of the prince without any preparation is almost like seeking death.
All the demons could not guess what Qin Qi was thinking, so they all walked out of the hall to watch, wanting to see if the shadow cultivator could survive this disaster.
Qing Litian's eyes trembled slightly.
She had seen Qin Qi help others overcome their calamities, and it was unbelievable.
But Qin Qi is now a quasi-king. Once a thunder disaster is triggered, it will naturally not be comparable to the past. How dare he do this?
"To go through the tribulation without any preparation, it seems that the shadow cultivator is going to die!" A successor of Erebus sneered.
"What a pity, how good it is to give me this drop of shadow origin blood, so that I can join the ranks of the three-star princes!" the first successor of Erebus said dissatisfied.
