Peerless God Emperor

The expressions of Xuanyuan Potian, Ximen Bingyue and the rest changed, as they looked at Qin Xuan in disbelief, could it be that this fellow wanted to give up?    

Only Yan Qing's expression was relatively calm. From the beginning to the end, his expression did not change much, as if he had already known what choice Qin Xuan would make.    

"Have you decided?" Ximen Guyan casually glanced at Qin Xuan and said.    

"I've thought it through. Senior, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. In the future, when I am traveling in this world, I will never mention your name." Qin Xuan said in a heavy voice.    

In fact, he was unwilling to make that choice, but even if Ximen Guyan wanted him to, he could only do so.    

Ever since he started cultivating, he had only received the occasional guidance from many seniors, and had not truly taken a master as his master.    

It was precisely because of this that Heavenly Star Lord once wanted to take him in as a disciple, but was rejected by him.    

Coming to the Sunset Solitary Smoke City, and inadvertently listening to Ximen Guyan's zither music, he was deeply moved. He wanted to follow Ximen Guyan and cultivate the zither technique, but he couldn't stay in the City Lord's Mansion for a few thousand years.    

"Good boy, you have guts. Do you know how many people want to become my disciple? There are many among them who have higher cultivation and talent than you, so don't regret it." Ximen Guyan stared at Qin Xuan and said.    

After Qin Xuan heard these words, a trace of confidence flashed past his eyes. Raising his head slightly, he said calmly, "There's no need for a hundred years, I will surpass them all."    

Although Qin Xuan's voice was not loud, it revealed an incomparable confidence, as if it was a given that people would subconsciously believe his words.    

It wouldn't even take a hundred years for those people to be surpassed by him. Just what sort of confidence did he need to have in order to say such bold and heroic words?    

The sword eyes stared straight at Qin Xuan, as though it wanted to see through him.    

He didn't know why, but he felt an extremely strong will from Qin Xuan's body, and that will seemed to be something that he had been chasing after all along.    

The space suddenly became silent. A gentle breeze blew across the lake surface and the lotus leaves lightly swayed, causing ripples on the surface.    

The few of them had heavy expressions, and all of their gazes were towards Ximen Guyan, not knowing what he was going to say next.    

To everyone's surprise, Ximen Guyan suddenly laughed out loud. He looked at Qin Xuan and said, "Alright, your mentality is tough enough.    

Hearing Ximen Guyan's bold laughter, Qin Xuan was stunned, she was unable to react for a moment, what does that mean?    

Xuanyuan Potian's expression was frozen, his eyes were blank, then he seemed to understand something, and the corners of his mouth could not help but form a bitter smile.    

Just a moment ago, Ximen Guyan's expression had been terrifyingly dark, and in the blink of an eye, he seemed as if he had become a completely different person.    

Ximen Bingyue's beautiful eyes froze for a moment, and then flashed a smile. She could be considered to be the person who was most familiar with Ximen Guyan, knowing her father's style, it was extremely normal for him to do something like this.    

"Junior doesn't understand. Senior, please enlighten me." Qin Xuan cupped his fists. Ximen Guyan's scheme was too deep, he could not figure it out at all.    

"You are still my disciple, but I will not teach you zither technique. You will only learn how to comprehend the sound of zither." Ximen Guyan explained, "sound of zither is a branch of the zither technique, you have comprehended a concept from my sound of zither previously, so it can be seen that your comprehension ability is not bad, so learn this ability."    

Qin Xuan's eyes flashed with joy, and he immediately cupped his fists: "This disciple thanks Master."    

"Don't thank me so quickly. It won't be too late to thank you when you're out of the sect." Ximen Guyan casually waved his hand, looked at Ximen Bingyue, and said: "During this period of time, you will teach him how to identify the types of sound of zither. If he doesn't learn well, I ask for you."    

Ximen Bingyue's beautiful face suddenly changed, and she muttered in a low voice: "If he doesn't learn, then wouldn't it mean that I'll be scolded to death by you …"    

Hearing that, Qin Xuan's face turned dark, he was actually looked down upon, is his comprehension ability so bad?    

Qin Xuan cupped his fists towards Ximen Guyan and said: "I hope that Master can retract this order. If Senior Sister is unable to answer my question, and disciple cannot satisfy Master's request, then wouldn't that be harming Senior Sister."    

"You …" Ximen Guyan glared at Qin Xuan and stomped his feet in anger.    

This fellow was very arrogant, to actually dare to directly contradict her. Did he not want to stay any longer?    

But when she thought about Qin Xuan's previous display of battle power, her expression could not help but be startled. If they truly were to fight, she would not be able to obtain the upper hand and would instead be mocked by him. Then, her senior's dignity would undoubtedly drop once again.    

Xuanyuan Potian and Jian also revealed a smile, and laughed as he looked at the pair of brother and sister; they were practically a pair of treasures.    

When Yan Qing saw this scene, he did not say a single word. It was as if he was in a daze, and it was unknown what he was thinking.    

"Alright, do as I say. I'll check for myself in three days." Ximen Guyan said.    

"I shall follow the orders of Master." Qin Xuan bowed and said.    

Then, Ximen Guyan's gaze turned and landed on Yan Qing, and said: "How do I address you, little friend?"    

"Junior is called Yan Qing." Yan Qing looked at Ximen Guyan, and slightly bowed.    

Seeing that, Qin Xuan, Ximen Bingyue, Xuanyuan Potian and Jian Yi could not help but be stunned.    

Just a moment ago, Ximen Guyan actually called Yan Qing a little friend, this was not something that anyone could afford. Could it be that he knew Yan Qing's identity?    

The thing that was most shocked was Qin Xuan. He had already felt that Yan Qing's identity might not be simple, and now, it seemed that it might be even higher than he had imagined.    

Sensing the gazes of Qin Xuan and the others, Yan Qing's expression could not help but change, and bowed to Ximen Guyan without showing any change in expression: "This brat presumptuous of you to come to City Lord's Mansion, just to catch a glimpse of Senior's elegance, I hope Senior can forgive me."    

Ximen Guyan's eyes flashed with a strange light, he seemed to have understood something, and nodded: "No harm, since you're here, let's temporarily stay, it's just that your realm is too low, and you are unable to cultivate with them, we can just watch by the side, this will be beneficial for your future cultivation."    

"Thank you senior for taking me in, Yan Qing will definitely be forever grateful!" Yan Qing cupped his fists, his expression extremely sincere, as though he had truly received a great favor.    

Listening to the conversation between the two, Qin Xuan couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression. Judging from Ximen Guyan's reaction, he seemed to have just said it casually, and didn't really understand Yan Qing.    

"Alright, come with me." Ximen Guyan said to everyone, and then flew to the most right side of the pavilion.    

The eyes of Qin Xuan and the others flashed, and they all followed him. A look of schadenfreude flashed across Ximen Bingyue's beautiful eyes, as if she knew something.    

The Inner Court had a total of five pavilions, which were arranged in the same pattern as the five fighting stages outside of City Lord's Mansion. Four pavilions surrounded the area, and there was a pavilion in the middle of the courtyard.    

As for the pavilion they were standing on just now, it was actually the pavilion in the middle.    

Ximen Guyan floated in the air, his gaze looking at Qin Xuan and the rest, he said indifferently: All of you try, and see if you can walk.    

Hearing that, Qin Xuan, Xuanyuan Potian and the rest all looked towards the pavilion in front of them.    

This pavilion was no different from any other ordinary pavilion. However, upon closer examination, one would discover that the pavilion was faintly emitting a wave of Stage of Wind that encompassed the entire pavilion.    

"Let's go up. This is very interesting." Ximen Bingyue smiled, the smile on his face was extremely sincere, as though he was a harmless beast.    

Qin Xuan glanced at Ximen Bingyue, and naturally did not believe her words. Since Ximen Bingyue had said this, then it became even more obvious that this pavilion was not as simple as it looked on the surface.    

I'll go first." "Xuanyuan Po Tian suddenly took a step forward and the earth shook. In an instant, Xuanyuan Po Tian's aura had undergone a tremendous change and his entire body was emitting a tyrannical and violent power, just like a peerless war god.    

Qin Xuan's eyes focused on the body in front of him. When Xuanyuan Potian completely released his power, his body also changed.    

Ximen Guyan's gaze was calm, and she did not say a word, as if the scene in front of her eyes was extremely normal.    

Many people only knew that the Xuanyuan Palace had been glorious in the past, but he had personally witnessed the era where the Xuanyuan Palace had fallen from glory to desolation. He was well aware of the tyranny of the Xuanyuan Palace's technique and if not for the many great abilities that were produced at that time, the strength of the Xuanyuan Palace would have been extremely terrifying.    

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" The ground started to shake violently, and started to issue out loud dong dong sounds continuously. By then, Xuanyuan Potian's body was already more than 10 metres tall, he had completely turned into a giant, with dark golden armor on his body, he was extremely mighty.    

Looking at Xuanyuan Potian who had turned into a giant, Qin Xuan's heart shivered endlessly, was this the true body tempering cultivation technique of the Xuanyuan Palace? On the stage, Xuanyuan Potian actually did not reveal his true strength!    

She finally understood why Ximen Guyan had shouted for her to stop at that time. Most likely, Ximen Guyan had already known about Xuanyuan Potian's trump card and knew that there would be no victor.    

Xuanyuan Potian came to the foot of the pavilion's stairs. From the ground level to the top of the pavilion, there were a total of nine flights of stairs.    

When Xuanyuan Potian lifted his right foot and was about to land on the first flight of stairs, his expression slightly changed. He felt a raging wind blow under his feet, and a terrifying force exploded, not allowing his right foot to fall.    

"Hmph." Xuanyuan Potian groaned, a flash of sharpness could be seen in his eyes as his right leg smashed down brazenly, while his left leg also fell down steadily.    

In the blink of an eye, Xuanyuan Potian had successfully stepped onto the first level.    

Ximen Bingyue's beautiful eyes froze in place. With her mouth slightly open, a surprised expression appeared on her charming face. This fellow's strength was way too great. He seemed to be able to completely ignore everything that was happening around him.    

She still vaguely remembered that she had tried three times before reaching the first step. At the time, she was quite pleased with herself, but now, she didn't dare to mention it. This was too embarrassing.    

"Do you see that? Learn a little more in the future." Ximen Guyan seemed to always know what Ximen Bingyue was thinking.    

"Got it." Ximen Bingyue nodded disappointedly, he continued to look ahead, his expression once again froze, as though he had seen an extremely inconceivable scene.
