Peerless God Emperor

This caused Qin Xuan to feel a tinge of regret. So the treatment he received from following Mu Jinyu was actually so good. He didn't need to do anything and was able to enjoy the rich resources of cultivation. This was simply unearned!    

However, what Qin Xuan did not know was that he was the only one who did this. The others had to deal with Mu Jinyu every day and it was extremely dangerous.    

On this day, Qin Xuan was cultivating in his own palace when he suddenly heard footsteps. His eyes immediately opened and looked outside the hall. Soon, he saw a tall, thin man standing in front of him.    

That tall thin man was naturally Yan Zheng.    

When Qin Xuan saw Yan Zheng, his eyes couldn't help but turn cold. This person's cultivation base was also High Rank of Monarch Stage, but the aura around him was restrained to the extreme, giving him an extremely dangerous feeling.    

Obviously, this man was way more powerful than Zhu Yao.    

Qin Xuan did not know that Yan Zheng was known as the King of Hell in Mu City.    

Yan Zheng was also sizing up Qin Xuan, his heart filled with curiosity. Previously, he had been secretly observing Qin Xuan under Mu Jinyu's orders, but he did not expect him to be so powerful, to actually be able to solve the secrets of the Nihilum Sword Saint's cave.    

What shocked him the most was that white-clothed youth, who looked refined and elegant, had actually used the Sword Intent of the Terminator Mountain Range to kill all of them. It was hard to imagine.    

"The Miss wants you to come over." Yan Zheng spoke to Qin Xuan before turning to leave, as if he was only here to pass on a message.    

"Thank you very much." Qin Xuan nodded and walked out of the palace. A moment later, he arrived at the palace where Mu Jinyu was.    

Seeing Qin Xuan arrive, Mu Jinyu's brows slightly twitched as she said, "You're here."    

"Greetings, Princess." Qin Xuan cupped his hands. Although his tone was not respectful, he still did his best.    

Mu Jinyu was smart and could naturally feel that Qin Xuan treated her differently from the others. Although Qin Xuan agreed to follow her, their relationship was not master and servant, but rather a cooperative friend. This made her feel slightly uncomfortable.    

No one had ever done this to her before.    

"You have also cultivated here for a period of time. I have something to tell you." Mu Jinyu said.    

"If I'm not wrong, it's for the Immortal State Tournament?" Qin Xuan asked tentatively.    

She didn't expect Qin Xuan to guess so quickly. She nodded and said, "It seems that you already know a little about it. The Great Immortal Competition is the most important event in the Nine Heavenly Immortal Palace. Not only will it be held in the Asura Hell, it will also be held in the Qingxuan Continent."    

"Qing Xuan too?" Qin Xuan's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. It seemed that he had underestimated the importance of the immortal country competition.    

"Yes, to a certain extent, the Grand Competition of the immortal realms is the true competition. All cultivators in the Nine Heaven Immortal Countries are allowed to participate, while only those in the Nine Heaven Immortal Domain are allowed to participate in the Asura Hell. The two aren't on the same level."    

Mu Jinyu added, "However, we don't need to care about Qing Xuan's Large Competition. As long as his performance in the Large Competition of the Asura Hell is outstanding, that is enough."    

"Pardon me, but if my performance was average, what would the result be?" Qin Xuan asked Mu Jinyu as he looked at her. He could tell that Mu Jinyu seemed to value the Immortal State Tournament very much.    

Qin Xuan's words caused Mu Jinyu's expression to freeze. She didn't expect Qin Xuan to ask her this question.    

She was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Leave the Asura Hell."    

"Leave here?" Qin Xuan's heart trembled slightly. Judging from Mu Jinyu's reaction, she did not want to leave the Asura Hell. That was why she was so interested in the Immortal State Tournament.    

Thinking about this, Qin Xuan's gaze towards Mu Jinyu underwent a subtle change. He didn't expect that this extremely arrogant princess of an immortal country would have such worries. If she said it out loud, perhaps no one would be able to understand her feelings.    

"Then what can I do for the princess?" Qin Xuan said. His voice was softer than before, so much so that even he did not feel it himself.    

"For the time being, I don't need it. I just need your help when the time comes." Mu Jinyu looked at Qin Xuan and said lightly, "If I leave this place, your plan will fail."    

"Is the princess threatening me?" Qin Xuan joked.    

"I am only stating the facts. How you understand it is up to you." Mu Jinyu casually said, "If there's nothing else, you can go back."    

"Alright, I'll be going first then." Qin Xuan nodded towards Mu Jinyu before walking out of the hall. Just as he took a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around with a bright smile, "Princess, don't worry. If you need my help, I will do my best to help."    

With that, he continued to walk forward. A moment later, he disappeared from the hall.    

Hearing Qin Xuan's words, Mu Jinyu's beautiful eyes could not help but glaze over. It was as if her heart was touched by something and her eyes gradually softened. It was a pity that Qin Xuan did not have the chance to see this scene.    

… ….    

In a secluded area a thousand miles away from the Mu City, a white-haired old man was currently meditating. He closed his eyes as a strange energy permeated the air around him, causing this entire space to feel unreal.    

If Qin Xuan was here, he would have definitely recognized this old man.    

It was the old man who had taken the first sword from the cave, Nightmare!    

After a long time, Nightmare finally opened his eyes. There was a trace of confusion in his muddy eyes. He muttered, "Why is it like this?"    

After he obtained the sword, he came here to meditate and comprehend it, attempting to peer into the Terminator Sword Saint's path of the sword. However, other than the Terminator Sword Intent, this sword did not seem to possess any other profoundness.    

He couldn't help but guess if he needed to put the four swords together before he could start the Terminator Sword Saint's inheritance.    

When he thought of this, he could not help but feel some regret. If he had known earlier, he would have taken away all four swords. Now, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to obtain the other three swords.    

Those three swords had most likely fallen into the hands of the Mu Clan.    

For a moment, he seemed to have sensed something, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. A powerful aura spread out from his body, and he coldly yelled into the air in front of him. "Who's watching?"    

As the sound of his voice faded, ripples of energy fluctuations rippled out in the space in front of him. Black Shadow stepped out, causing the atmosphere to be filled with a sense of killing intent.
