Elder Qin stared at Chen Mo with open shock, fury igniting in his ancient eyes at the blatant disrespect.
Yet beneath the anger burned something far more dangerous, covetous hunger.
Chen Mo's talent and raw strength were undeniable.
Uncontrollable now, yes… but given time, Elder Qin was certain he could break the young man's will and place him firmly under his heel.
"It seems your revenge has been settled," Elder Qin declared, voice heavy with forced magnanimity.
"I will overlook your disrespect this once. Now kneel and acknowledge me as your master."
Chen Mo's gaze remained ice-cold.
"Your sect master and every single soul related to him will face destruction at my hands," he swore, staring directly at Elder Qin with pure, unfiltered hatred.
"You arrogant fool!!!" Elder Qin roared, qi erupting around him like a crimson storm.
He surged forward, activating the third step of the Nine Steps of the Scarlet Firmament.
