Standing before Qin Jun was a towering figure with a lion's face and a human body, cloaked in yellow armor, exuding a Mount Tai-like sense of stability and might.
The legendary Nine-spirit Primordial Saint!
Qin Jun fought back his excitement and said, "Nine-spirit Primordial Saint, you've finally come. I've waited for you so long that the flowers have withered."
Hearing this, the Nine-spirit Primordial Saint laughed and said, "I was delayed by some matters on the way."
As soon as the words ended, he knelt on one knee, cupped his hands with a smile, and said, "I pay homage to Your Majesty."
He did not prostrate himself because his strength far surpassed Qin Jun's, and his pride was not easily set aside, but his willingness to kneel showed his recognition of Qin Jun.
Qin Jun hurriedly helped him to stand, while Nezha and the others also descended, each of them still warily watching the Nine-spirit Primordial Saint.
