Peerless God Emperor

However, they did not expect to succeed on their first try.    

Furthermore, Qing Yan had an especially high opinion of Qin Zhu, and even declared that he would definitely enter the top one hundred, which could be said to be an extremely high evaluation.    

One must know that there are close to a thousand islands participating in battles of trials. Even if there are only ten people participating in every island, there are still close to ten thousand people.    

What did the top 100 mean?    

He was definitely a heaven's pride level expert, one that few could compare to, even amongst the Nine Saints Island s.    

From this, it could be seen how much Qing Yan valued Qin Zhu.    

"Qin Zhu, do you know of a place in the Imperial City called Sky Sound Workshop?" Qing Yan suddenly thought of something and asked Qin Zhu.    

Qin Zhu's eyes flashed, and he nodded slightly: "I have some understanding."    

He was born from a Zither Dao power, so he was naturally interested in everything related to the Zither. Although the Sky Sound Workshop wasn't a Zither Dao power like the Zixiao Palace, there were still many extraordinary zither cultivator that gathered there to spar with each other. As such, the Sky Sound Workshop was also rather famous in the First Emperor Island.    

If he was not in a hurry to seek the protection of the great power, he would have gone there first.    

"The power behind the Sky Sound Workshop is called Heavenly Sword Sect, they have always been on good terms with each other, so you must find some time to go to the Sky Sound Workshop since there are still a few days before the battles of trials s. You must rush to them first, if you are able to reach the top ten, at that time I will inform the experts of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and let them help you at that time." Qing Yan said.    

Qin Zhu's eyes immediately lit up, he never thought that there was actually such a relationship between Zixiao Palace and himself!    

This meant that the two great power s had already secretly joined hands to support the people they had chosen. This way, the people from both sides would be able to travel even further in the battles of trials s.    

"Is the top ten enough?" Qin Zhu asked. He felt that he could rank higher.    

"Enough." Qing Yan laughed: "Being able to enter the top ten, is enough to prove your strength in the zither way. As for the rankings higher up, they are basically already occupied by the heaven's pride experts groomed by other forces.    

Qin Zhu could not help but reveal a look of doubt, as though he did not quite understand it.    

What do you mean by being groomed by other powers to become a heaven's pride expert?    

Seemingly having seen through Qin Zhu's doubts, Qing Yan patiently explained, "As the signboard for Heavenly Sword Sect, Sky Sound Workshop is not only on good terms with my Zixiao Palace, but also with the other great First-class forces s."    

"The top five of the Emperor's Sound List are all talented figures of the First-class forces. For example, an extraordinary disciple of my Zixiao Palace is ranked second in the Emperor's Sound List s!"    

"The second place disciple should be the most outstanding person in the Emperor realm!" Qin Zhu laughed.    

"No." Qing Yan shook his head and said, "Although his talent is also very outstanding, he is not the strongest disciple in Zixiao Palace."    

"Not him?" Qin Zhu was stunned, he immediately felt confused, what was going on?    

"This matter will be difficult to explain to you in a short period of time. In the future, when I have the time, I will slowly explain it to you. You first go up the rankings."    

Qing Yan said to Qin Zhu: "I'm afraid that there will be a lot of people rushing to the rankings in the next few days, the competition will be intense, but I think that it shouldn't be too difficult for you."    

"Junior will do my best and not disappoint senior." Qin Zhu cupped his hands, as his expression revealed a slight tinge of indifference.    

To him, entering the top ten of the Emperor's Sound List s was obviously not a difficult matter, and was easily obtainable.    

"Go." Qing Yan waved his hand.    

"Brother Qing, we shall take our leave now." Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument cupped his fists and said to Qing Yan, then brought Qin Zhu and left the palace.    

suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked at the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument and asked: "Foster father, what secret does the Sky Sound Workshop have?"    

"There are indeed some deals in secret, but those have nothing to do with you. You only need to follow what Qing Yan said and charge into the top ten Emperor's Sound List s." The Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument said.    

As an Emperor Realm being, he naturally knew that there were some methods in the Sky Sound Workshop that could not be exposed, and the figures behind those methods all came from the various great First-class forces s.    

Ordinary people were trapped within the chessboard, treated as chess pieces, held by others without being aware of it, while the real big shots looked at the board, turning the hand into the wind and turning the rain. Everything was under their control.    

Even if one was an Emperor, they wouldn't be able to become a chess player. The waters in this place were extremely deep.    

Seeing that his foster father was also unwilling to talk about it, a profound look flashed past Qin Zhu's eyes. It seemed like he had to figure out the secrets of the Sky Sound Workshop himself.    

"Father, I will go to Sky Sound Workshop tonight and fight for the top ten Emperor's Sound List." Qin Zhu said as he looked at the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument.    

"Alright." Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument only said the word 'good'. In his opinion, it was an easy thing for Qin Zhu to reach the top ten of the Emperor's Sound List, it wasn't too difficult at all.    

As night fell, there was no moon. The boundless pitch-black night descended from the skies like a curtain, but the inside of the Chu Emperor City was brightly lit, with clamorous sounds coming from all directions. It was extremely bustling and lively, as if the darkness was expelled from the world, making it seem extremely out of place compared to the night.    

And tonight, the most lively place in the Imperial City was none other than the Sky Sound Workshop.    

News of what happened yesterday had already spread throughout Sky Sound Workshop. Half of the people there knew that some crazy people looked down on the people on top of the Emperor's Sound List and spoke nonsense, wanting to challenge the first place of the Emperor's Sound List. Their tone of voice was extremely arrogant.    

As a result, many people rushed to the Sky Sound Workshop to wait, afraid that they would miss such an exciting moment.    

Other than the ordinary people, there were many other powerful zither cultivator, and even some of the Emperor's Sound List s that came tonight.    

They had all heard that the person who went on stage yesterday had ridiculed the person for being too useless, and even looked down on the Emperor's Sound List, saying that there was no meaning for it to exist.    

Now that they were here, they wanted to see if he could continue his rampage tonight.    

There were quite a few figures gathered around the Emperor's Sound List. They were all zither cultivator who had rushed over early to watch the show tonight.    

At this moment, all ten rooms were empty. Not a single person entered. Everyone was waiting for the arrival of that person from yesterday. They had no intention to fight at all.    

In the direction of the crowd, there were more than ten figures standing together. One of them was Kong Qiu, and beside him was an extraordinarily handsome youth.    

This handsome young man was Kong Qiu's older brother, Kong Zhong, the third existence of the Emperor's Sound List and the most talented being of the Kong Family.    

Although Kong Zhong was ranked third among the Emperor's Sound List, he wasn't the most skilled at using the zither technique, he was only very interested in the way of the zither. As a result, the Kong Family used a few methods to place him in the third position, and with the killer constantly protecting him, no one could change his position.    

To Kong Zhong, the position that countless of zither cultivator dreamt of obtaining was easily obtainable.    

In fact, the third Emperor's Sound List did not have any benefits for Kong Zhong, but he was willing to enjoy this title, and the Kong Family would help him settle everything, as long as he was satisfied with it. After all, with Kong Zhong's talent in the martial way, in the future, the Kong Family might need to rely on Kong Zhong.    

"If the Sky Sound Workshop did not stop me yesterday, I would have killed him on the spot." Kong Qiu said in a cold tone, a trace of malicious intent flashing past his eyes. He would never forget Qin Xuan's arrogant and proud tone.    

"Tonight, with so many people present, he will undoubtedly be defeated. We only need to watch the show." Kong Zhong's face revealed a faint smile, and his tone seemed to be very casual.    

The reason why he came here, was not because he wanted to help, but to see just who the arrogant disciple who looked down on Emperor's Sound List was. What gave him the courage to be so arrogant.    

"Yes." Kong Qiu nodded his head slightly. There were indeed a lot of experts who had come tonight, so other than his big brother, there were also two other experts from the first five ranks of the Emperor's Sound List.    

At this time, a young figure walked into the Sky Sound Workshop. His gaze swept across the crowd, and upon seeing the grand occasion in front of him, his heart couldn't help but be stirred.    

This young figure was Qin Zhu.    

Tonight, he was the only one who came. Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument did not accompany him, but this trip to First Emperor Island was in fact, an experiential learning for Qin Zhu. If Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument stayed by his side the whole time, it would not benefit Qin Zhu much.    

Just as Qin Zhu was thinking about this, a carefree laugh came from outside.    

"There are indeed a lot of people who came tonight. Are you all prepared?"    

As the sound of his voice faded, the vast Sky Sound Workshop quietened down. Instantly, countless gazes turned in a direction, only to see a figure with extraordinary aura walking over. He wore an azure dragon mask on his face, exuding a malevolent aura.    

"This guy, he actually dared to come!" Many people's eyes shone with sharpness. They had originally thought that this young man was just joking, and didn't hold much hope. Who would've thought that this young man would actually come!?    

"If he dares to come tonight, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape easily!" Someone said in a low voice. That arrogant and presumptuous speech he had made last night meant that there would definitely be many powerful characters willing to teach him a lesson tonight.    

"…"    

One voice after another came out, all of them expressing their contempt towards Qin Xuan, believing that he would be extremely miserable tonight.    

However, Qin Xuan acted as if he did not care about the voices of the surrounding people, he walked forward with large strides, his body was as straight as a sword, he was as proud as ever.    

However, when he passed by a certain spot, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. After which, he slowly turned around and looked at a person in front of him.    

The crowd's gaze followed Qin Xuan's movements, and when they looked at the person in front of Qin Xuan, their expressions immediately became extremely interesting!    

That person was the Kong Qiu that was defeated by Qin Xuan yesterday!
