C1648 One after the other
In the center of the manor, a handsome young man dressed in a green robe was sitting there. In front of him was a zither, and on the right of the zither was an ancient book that had been opened.
The young man lowered his head, his gaze sweeping between the ancient scriptures and the zither, as though he was learning to play.
This youth was Qin Xuan, he had already been away from the Ziyun House for seven days, and during these seven days, he had been in his villa learning zither technique. Although there was progress, it did not achieve the results he wanted.
Originally, there was a Bamboo Tea Party a few days ago, which was a grand occasion for the Profound Moon Island. Other than the Young Master Ting Zhu who would appear, the most prosperous tea fairies in Silver City would also appear.
Right now, there was only one thing on his mind, and that was to practice the zither.
"Maybe I was in too much of a hurry." Qin Xuan frowned and muttered.
In truth, he knew that the zither technique was not something that could be achieved overnight. He had been meticulously studying the zither dao for dozens of years and he had no way of surpassing it in a short period of time.
But in the end, Emperor Zi would very likely make a choice between him and Qin Zhu.
On the contrary, according to common sense, Emperor Zi was more likely to choose Qin Zhu. After all, Qin Zhu was a disciple of the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument, so the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument would definitely be familiar with him.
However, even though he only had a sliver of hope, he still wanted to use all of his strength to grab onto it.
After missing out on the Nine Saints Island battles of trials this time, who knows how long he would have to wait to find an opportunity to go to Haotian Island.
The Boundless Sea was too big, let alone knowing his exact location, even if they did find him, how would he have the chance to take revenge?
Assassination?
This was obviously impossible.
This time, he would not be as impulsive as last time. Master and many of his seniors had paid an extremely heavy price to protect him, and even across Sea of Life and Death to send him for revenge.
Without a complete plan, he would not act on his own.
"Let's grasp this opportunity well." The best outcome would be to convince Emperor Zi to help him. If Emperor Zi was not willing, then he would have to find another way out.
Qianqin Mountain, inside the Heavenly Zither Palace.
Within the vast and vast palace, there were only two figures standing, and one of the young man was Qin Zhu. He was dressed in purple today, and he wore a crown on his head.
Standing in front of him was a middle-aged man. He wore a dark brown robe, and his face was dignified. His aura was unfathomable, and he exuded the aura of a superior being.
This man was the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument.
"Foster father, the Nine Saints Island's battles of trials are extremely important. Looking at Emperor Zi's attitude that day, it seems that he might not help us." Qin Zhu opened his mouth and said: "Should we prepare some tricks and ask for the help of some other Emperor Realm people?"
In this battle of battles of trials, only those at the Emperor Realm or above would have a certain amount of influence. In this battle of the Bamboo Town, there was no doubt that Emperor Zi was the best candidate to help them.
"If Emperor Zi won't help, the others won't either."
The Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument shook his head. He glanced at Qin Zhu and a serious expression surfaced on his face: "Emperor Zi is not from the Profound Moon Island. He only came here a hundred years ago, and that was when the Ziyun House was established.
When Qin Zhu heard this, his expression shook. So, the rumors were true?
There were many rumors saying that Emperor Zi had fought with the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument before, that his strength was not inferior to her at all.
"What was the result?" Qin Zhu asked curiously, that rumor saying that Emperor Zi's strength was not inferior to his foster father's, then, the result should be a draw, right?
"I've lost."
A soft sigh came from Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument's mouth. A trace of bitterness appeared on Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument's face as he said, "Back then, I was confident that my strength was not inferior to anyone, so I found him. I wanted to prove to him the position of Qianqin Mountain in Bamboo Town.
Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument's tone carried a trace of regret. In that battle, he had truly witnessed Emperor Zi's strength, and even felt a trace of admiration for him.
"He actually lost!" Qin Zhu's heart could not help but tremble, a sharp glint flashed past the depths of his eyes. Doesn't this mean that Emperor Zi is the true number one person in Zhu Zhen?
"I'm afraid no one in the other three towns could be a match for him." "It's a good thing he doesn't have the intention to fight for power. Otherwise, the structure of the Profound Moon Island would have undergone a huge change."
After Qin Zhu heard this, he was speechless in his heart, as though he was somewhat unable to accept this fact.
Seeming to have noticed that there was something wrong with Qin Zhu's reaction, Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument looked at him and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Qin Zhu immediately came back to reality and said: "Nothing, I was just thinking about how far I would be able to go among the battles of trials with my innate talent."
A smile suddenly appeared on Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument's face. He patted Qin Zhu's shoulder and said in a clear voice, "My son has unparalleled talent, if you want to believe in yourself, there must be a place for you at the top of Xihua Islands!"
"Yes." Qin Zhu nodded lightly, but he seemed to be somewhat absent-minded.
Unknowingly, a month's time was approaching the end, and the news of the Nine Saints Island's battles of trials had somehow spread throughout Bamboo Town. Many people were discussing about this matter.
"Nine Saints Island's battles of trials is held once every fifty years, I wonder how many heaven's pride level characters will attend. It's said that in the last Profound Moon Island, there were over forty people who participated in the trial, but in the end, only ten people managed to enter the top thousand, and only one person managed to enter the top one hundred. It can be said to be extremely tragic!" Someone in the crowd shook his head.
"That's right. It's held once every fifty years, and every heaven's pride level expert would try their best to stand out from the crowd. If they miss this opportunity, then there won't be a next time."
"Even if we were lucky enough to enter the top 100, we would only have the qualifications to cultivate in the Nine Saints Island. If we want to head to a stronger and richer island, we will need to be ranked higher. This is simply as difficult as climbing to the heavens!"
This was not because they were looking down on themselves, but because the Profound Moon Island's position in the Xihua Islands was really not high. Every time it came to battles of trials, the results obtained from the Profound Moon Island were very average, and at the best, only three people managed to enter the top one hundred.
Even in the top 100, the rankings were very low, one simply couldn't reach the top.
There were close to a thousand islands, and even if there was only one heaven's pride expert on each island, there would still be a total of a thousand people. There were also some islands that were relatively rich, such as the Nine Saints Island, where the local geniuses would also participate in battles of trials s.
In the previous sessions, the rankings of the battles of trials s were also almost firmly held by the heaven's pride experts of the Nine Saints Island. In the battles on the other islands, there were very few people who fought their way up to the top.
"However, this time, an extraordinary figure also appeared in our Profound Moon Island, maybe there will be a slight chance of victory." Someone suddenly spoke, causing the surrounding people to all reveal a hint of reverence on their faces. That extraordinary person was naturally the Young Master Ting Zhu.
"I hope that this time, the Young Master Ting Zhu will bring the honor of the Profound Moon Island to an unprecedented level!" Another person sighed with emotion.
...
Everything that happened outside did not seem to have anything to do with Qin Xuan. In this period of time, he spent every day at the villa practicing his zither, his mental state seemed to have changed, and he was no longer so determined to quickly succeed, but instead made a huge leap forward.
Right now, he could freely control the sound of zither and there would no longer be any circumstances where he would not be able to control the sound of zither.
Qin Xuan himself also felt that it was very strange.
For many things, the more persistent one was, the harder it was to obtain them. On the contrary, one's mentality would become a bit calmer, allowing nature to take its course while in the end, one would be able to obtain what they wished for.
On this day, Qin Xuan walked out of the villa and arrived outside the Ziyun House.
When they saw Qin Xuan's figure appear, the expressions of the guards at the entrance of the Ziyun House couldn't help but change. Their eyes showed traces of fear.
Qin Xuan did not care about their expressions and walked straight towards the Ziyun House, but no one dared to stop them.
The lesson of that day was unforgettable.
Not long after Qin Xuan had entered the Ziyun House, another group of people came from afar, and these people all had strong auras, as though they were all high ranking Emperor s.
The leader was a handsome man with an imposing manner. His white robe gave people a feeling of elegance and ease, making them feel extremely comfortable.
"Young Master Ting Zhu!" When the guards saw the young man in the lead, their expressions abruptly changed. They hurriedly stepped forward to welcome him, as though they were afraid of being disrespectful in the slightest.
"Please inform me that I wish to see Senior Emperor Zi." Qin Zhu looked at the guards and spoke. Compared to Qin Xuan who directly barged in, he undoubtedly knew how to behave.
"There's no need to inform him. Master has already told me this before, if Young Master Ting Zhu comes, I can just directly go in and find him." They were all guards of the Ziyun House, so they called Emperor Zi Master.
"Alright." Qin Zhu responded, and then brought a few people behind him to enter Ziyun House.
Looking at the backs of Qin Zhu and the others, the few guards all revealed expressions of amazement. Young Master Ting Zhu was truly worthy of being called the number one genius of the Profound Moon Island.
"Eh, don't you guys feel that something's strange?" Suddenly, someone asked.
"What's wrong?" The others all looked at that person.
"First, it was the powerful young man who came, then the Young Master Ting Zhu who arrived. Don't you think this is some sort of coincidence?" The man spoke, as if hinting at something.
"Do you mean …" The other people immediately had strange looks in their eyes, as if they were thinking of the same thing.
Since their master was the Emperor Stage powerhouses, he would be able to play a role in the battles of trials. Since the two of them came here in succession, could it be that they want to ask their master to help them?
When their thoughts reached this point, their hearts couldn't help but twitch. It was as if they had discovered something extremely important!
