Peerless God Emperor

Qin Xuan turned around when he heard the voice. He saw a Black Clothed Youth in front of him. There was no movement during the entire process. It was as if he had appeared out of thin air.    

This Black Clothed Youth was naturally Qin Fan. When his gaze landed on Qin Xuan, he could tell that Qin Xuan's body had recovered to its original state. In fact, his aura was even stronger than when he had entered the Demonic Abyss.    

"What happened in the Demonic Abyss was not my doing." Qin Fan said, as if he was explaining to Qin Xuan.    

"I know." Qin Xuan nodded slightly. That strange force wasn't Qin Fan's. If Qin Fan wanted to kill him, he would have died a long time ago. There was no way he would still be standing here.    

"Since you have awakened, let's return to the Nine Domains." Qin Fan spoke plainly, as if he was talking about something insignificant.    

Qin Xuan looked at Qin Fan with surprise. He didn't expect Qin Fan to take the initiative to let him return to the Nine Domains. This was out of his expectation.    

After all, if Qin Fan imprisoned him here, he wouldn't be able to resist.    

"I will naturally return to the Nine Domains, but before that, I have a few things to ask you." Previously, he had some doubts in the Demonic Abyss, so he had to ask Qin Fan in person.    

"Ask." Qin Fan replied.    

"Do you know where that strange power came from?" Qin Xuan asked in a deep voice. He stared at Qin Fan's face, as if he wanted to see his reaction.    

"I don't know." Qin Fan shook his head and added another sentence. "But I know someone who can release that power."    

As soon as Qin Fan finished speaking, Qin Xuan's eyes suddenly focused. He immediately asked, "Who is it? Where is it now?"    

"He has always been hiding in the darkness, and his strength is above mine. I don't know where he came from, and I don't know where he is now." What he said was the truth, and he didn't hide anything from Qin Xuan.    

He knew very well that his own strength was insufficient to deal with him. If he joined forces with Qin Xuan, he might have a chance of winning.    

A thoughtful look appeared in Qin Xuan's eyes. From what Qin Fan said just now, the person he was talking about was indeed the phantom that attacked him in the deep abyss.    

From this, one could infer that the dark airflow in the deep abyss was left behind by the phantom.    

"When did you know about him?" Qin Xuan asked again.    

Qin Fan looked like he was reminiscing. "That was many years ago. Not long after I obtained my body, he found me and brought us here."    

"I see." Qin Xuan's eyes revealed a flash of understanding. He was still wondering how Qin Fan and the others found such a secret place. It turned out that they were brought here by someone.    

Suddenly, he thought of something. Qin Xuan looked at Qin Fan meaningfully and said, "If I'm not wrong, he gave you back the technique."    

He had a guess in his heart. The reason why Qin Fan was able to break through the seventh step was probably because he borrowed the power of the phantom. After all, the other party did not belong to the Profound Sky Continent.    

Seeing that Qin Xuan had guessed it himself, Qin Fan did not hide it. He nodded and said, "Indeed."    

"Why did he find you?" Qin Xuan asked again.    

"I don't know, but it could be for you." Qin Fan looked at Qin Xuan and said, "He released his Qi in the abyss and asked me to bring you here to deal with you."    

Qin Xuan's pupils shrank when he heard this. The other party had planned this for so long just to deal with him?    

"Could it be because of the phagocytic crystal?" A thought immediately appeared in Qin Xuan's mind, but he soon felt that something was wrong. The phagocytic crystal was still in his body. It could be seen that the other party's goal wasn't the phagocytic crystal.    

If it wasn't the phagocytic crystal, then what was the reason?    

At this moment, something suddenly appeared in Qin Fan's mind. He immediately looked at Qin Xuan and asked, "Where is the snow lotus that I gave you?"    

"Snow lotus?" Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment. Then, he realized that the Heavenly Battle Demon Sovereign had given him a snow lotus. After that, he placed it in his body to nourish it.    

When Qin Fan mentioned the snow lotus, could it be that there was something wrong with the snow lotus?    

When Qin Xuan thought of this, he suddenly had an unknown premonition. His consciousness immediately entered his body. A moment later, his consciousness entered his body. A moment later, his expression darkened. The snow lotus was gone.    

"Did he give you the snow lotus?" Qin Xuan looked at Qin Fan and asked.    

"Yes." Qin Fan nodded and replied, "He said that the snow lotus can protect your soul. He has a higher chance of dealing with that strange power. He asked me to pass it to you."    

Qin Xuan felt helpless when he heard this. Clearly, Qin Fan had been tricked by the other party.    

The reason why he had come into contact with Qin Fan and taught him a powerful cultivation technique was to gain his trust and use him to do the rest of the things.    

If it was anyone else, they would probably be fooled as well.    

From this point, it could be seen that the other party was extremely cautious and every step he took had a sufficient reason. Hence, it was very difficult for others to doubt him.    

"That person came from the foreign evil races." Qin Xuan said in a deep voice, causing Qin Fan's eyes to suddenly freeze. How was this possible?    

The evil race had been expelled from the Nine Profound Star Region during the ancient era. It was impossible for them to survive until now. Taking ten thousand steps back, if he was really an evil race, he could start a massacre. Who would be able to stop him?    

"Are you sure?" Qin Fan asked again. Clearly, he didn't believe what Qin Xuan said in his heart.    

Qin Xuan looked at Qin Fan with a serious expression. He said slowly, "I saw people with the same power as him fighting against the army of the Nine Mysterious Star Region. They turned the bodies of the dead into puppets and became their combat strength."    

Qin Fan's heart trembled when he heard these words. His eyes were filled with disbelief. Refining the dead into puppets? What kind of strange method was this?    

Qin Xuan couldn't possibly use this to trick him. Since he said so, it seemed like it was true.    

"I wonder if he's the only one who survived. If there are others, the consequences will be unimaginable." Qin Xuan said with a heavy tone.    

Qin Fan also fell silent. He initially thought that Qin Xuan was here to deal with Qin Xuan, but now it seemed like things were not as simple as he had imagined.    

"It's a pity that Fen Old Master isn't here. Otherwise, we could have sent him to investigate this matter." Qin Xuan sighed in his heart. With Fen Old Master's strength, he could definitely suppress that man.    

"The reason why he has been planning for such a long time must be because he has been imprisoned or because he is afraid of something. Therefore, he doesn't dare to act rashly." Qin Fan said.    

"That makes sense." Qin Xuan nodded slightly. The other party had only revealed a single phantom, but not his true body. This was enough to prove that he couldn't do whatever he wanted.    

In this way, as long as they could think of a solution in time, there was still room for salvation.    

"The Demon Holy Mountain will not stay for long. The other party might descend again in the future. Why don't you follow me back to the Nine Domains this time?" Qin Xuan said.    

"No, you can go back by yourself." Qin Fan rejected Qin Xuan's suggestion.    

"Why?" Qin Xuan looked at Qin Fan in confusion.    

Qin Fan glanced at Qin Xuan. "What do the people of the nine realms think of Demonic Cultivator? I believe that you know better than anyone else that if we return to the Nine Territories, Demonic Cultivator will definitely be targeted. As Demon Lord, I have to consider for them."    

Qin Xuan remained silent after hearing this. What Qin Fan said was not unreasonable. The conflicts between Demonic Cultivator and the other powers in the nine domains were like fire and water, far more serious than the conflicts between the human race and the Demon Clan.    

Even if he stood out, he did not have the ability to resolve it.    

After all, too many innocent lives had been lost by Demonic Cultivator. A blood debt was irreconcilable. He could not stop those people from taking revenge.    

"After you return to the Nine Territories, we are still enemies. If you want to attack the Demon Holy Mountain, I will accompany you to the end. Both sides don't need to be soft-hearted." Qin Fan spoke with an indifferent tone. His tone was firm, without showing any mercy.    

After Qin Xuan heard this, he pondered for a moment and spoke to Qin Fan. "What happened in the past? I don't care, but in the future, if the Demon Holy Mountain attacks those from the nine realms, I will definitely come and seek revenge."    

Qin Fan looked away and did not respond to Qin Xuan's words.    

"That's all I have to say. I hope you will do your best." Qin Xuan said one last time before walking out of the Devil Palace.    

However, he had just taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped. He turned around to look at Qin Fan and said, "I still want to say that. Don't force your thoughts on Qian Ning. She should choose her own future."    

After saying that, Qin Xuan continued walking forward.    

Qin Fan's eyes revealed a slight fluctuation as he watched Qin Xuan's gradually leaving figure. It was difficult to guess what he was thinking in his heart.
