The Marquis Yang looked in the direction of his chambers, feeling a little apprehensive. He had already guessed Lu Xiao's purpose in coming here. Perhaps the Young Noble had met with an accident and came to find him for punishment!
Looking at Lu Xiao getting closer, Chu Feng and the rest felt their hearts beating faster, but they couldn't show any signs of panic. Otherwise, all their efforts would be for naught.
"Did Protector Lu encounter me in such a hurry? What happened?"
Just as Lu Xiao was about to cross Chu Feng and enter the chamber, a calm voice came from the chamber and broke the silence.
A strange glow flashed in the eyes of the crowd as they stared at the palace. Was Xuan Mingzi alright?
Lu Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he stopped in his tracks. He then turned to his palace and said, "It's nothing important. Young master, please come out to meet us."
He wouldn't be completely at ease if he didn't see Xuan Mingzi with his own eyes.
A moment later, the door to the palace opened and a figure of gray robe walked out with his hands behind his back.
Countless gazes instantly landed on that figure, different expressions appearing on their faces. Different thoughts ran through their minds.
Jian Qi, Cang Tianlei, and the others were a little disappointed that nothing had happened. It seemed that they had overthought things. Yang Hou and the people from the Gate of Dark Underworld then heaved a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, Lu Xiao had another thought in his mind. He stared at Qin Xuan's figure and felt that something was wrong.
Sect Master said that Young Master's Life Bead was dim and lifeless, but at the moment, it looked calm and composed, with a radiant face. There was nothing wrong with it, could it be that the Life Bead was mistaken?
He didn't think it would be that simple.
Even though he had some doubts in his heart, Lu Xiao did not express them. He bowed towards Qin Xuan and said, "Lu Xiao greets Young Master."
"Protector Lu, no need to be so polite." Qin Xuan raised his hand, his expression natural. He already possessed Xuan Mingzi's memories, so he naturally knew that Lu Xiao was the head of the four protectors of the Gate of Dark Underworld, a First Order Saint.
Following that, Qin Xuan looked at the many figures in the sky. Seeing that Jian Qi, Cang Yan, and the others had arrived, he revealed a faint smile and said, "I wonder what's the purpose of all of you coming to my place with such great power."
"It's only been a few days and I can't remember what I did?" Cang Yan sneered as he looked down at Qin Xuan. Even if there were Saints from the Dark Underworld Sect, they had nothing to be afraid of. At most, they could just unleash their holy war.
A mere Profound Nether Sect was not even worth mentioning in their eyes.
"Understood." Qin Xuan lightly nodded his head as he swept his gaze across the crowd in the air, before asking indifferently, "But, are you all sure that we want to start the battle here?"
Qin Xuan's tone was very calm, but there was a hint of threat in it. With the presence of the Saints in their Gate of Dark Underworld, if the other party dared to fight, they would probably suffer heavy losses.
Jian Qi glanced at Lu Xiao and continued, "Since the Sect of Mystic Underworld's Sage has arrived, we will temporarily call a truce. Three days later, we will meet at the burial site and settle this matter. What do you think?"
"How?" Qin Xuan asked. Now that they had a saint guarding them, it was likely that Jian Qi and the others would not dare to be too impudent. Otherwise, if the saint went crazy, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Let's do it according to the rules you mentioned last time. However, we need to make some changes. Each faction will send out three people, and you can choose the same number of people to fight. There is no limit to your life and death." Jian Qi said, his eyes harboring a terrifying killing intent.
The strength they possessed was far stronger than Profound Nether Sect. Under the premise of having the same number of people, they could definitely completely suppress Profound Nether Sect.
"Alright, let's do it." Qin Xuan agreed without any hesitation. Looking at the current situation, if he did not agree, a big battle would probably happen today.
"Since this matter has been settled, we shall meet again in three days." Then, he brought the experts of the Non-Phase Sword Sect and left the place.
"I'll be waiting for you in three days!" Cang Yan stared coldly at Qin Xuan as killing intent filled his eyes. He had never forgotten what Qin Xuan had said to him at the Burial Ground. He was too presumptuous. He would make Qin Xuan pay the heaviest price!
"Let's wait and see." Qin Xuan replied plainly.
After that, the people from the Azure Heaven Temple, the Destiny Immortal Palace, and the Soul Refining Sect all left. Only the people from the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace and Worry didn't.
Qin Xuan looked in the direction of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace and saw Yi He standing at the very front. He couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else Fourth Prince wants to say?"
"Don't misunderstand, I have no enmity towards you." Yi said with a gentle smile that made people feel like it was the spring breeze.
"Is that so?" Qin Xuan's eyebrows twitched slightly. He suddenly felt that the situation had become interesting. Yi claimed that he had no enmity towards him?
Was he trying to win her over?
"After all, you and I do not have any direct conflicts of interest. Naturally, there is no need for us to become enemies." Yi Yuan continued, "I'm only here to join in the fun. I have no intention of attacking the Dark Nether Sect."
"If they were to attack the Gate of Dark Underworld, Fourth Prince would probably just watch by the side." Qin Xuan said indifferently.
"Of course. We are not enemies, but we have not yet become friends." Yi An nodded calmly. He looked at Qin Xuan and said, "But if we become friends, then, in three days, the Nine Heaven Immortal Countries will become a part of Dark Underworld Sect."
Qin Xuan's gaze became serious. The meaning expressed in Yi's words was very obvious.
He hoped that the Netherworld Sect would be able to join forces with the Nine Heavens Immortal Countries.
The reward was to help the Dark Nether Sect in the great battle three days later.
It had to be said that Yi Zi's suggestion was very tempting, and it even tempted Qin Xuan. After all, the Nine Heaven Immortal Countries were the ruling powers of a region, and they were much stronger than the Dark Underworld Sect. If they could join hands, the Dark Underworld Sect would definitely benefit a lot.
However, this made Qin Xuan uneasy. Why did Yi?
"I wonder why Fourth Prince wants to join hands with my Dark World?" He wanted to know what Yi was thinking.
"The reason is very simple. I believe that you are powerful enough to be worthy of being my ally." Yi Zi's answer was very straightforward.
Although Qin Xuan did not attack directly, he had seen Chu Feng's strong fighting strength. Just from this, it was clear that Qin Xuan's strength was not ordinary.
It was naturally a good thing for such a character to become a helper for the Nine Heavens Immortal Country.
Of course, there was one more thing that was important.
The Xuanming Sect wasn't as powerful as the Nine Heaven Immortal Countries. Once an alliance was formed, the Nine Heaven Immortal Countries would naturally have the main authority to order the Xuanming Sect to do something. This was very similar to the reason why Yuyou asked Qin Xuan to join hands.
Qin Xuan fell into deep thought and did not reply to Yi He's words.
"You don't have to agree or refuse in a hurry. Just tell me the result in three days." Yi An laughed heartily. He looked at Qin Xuan meaningfully and said, "Sometimes, positions are very important. I believe you should understand this point."
"I understand Fourth Prince's words. I will definitely send someone to inform me about my choice within three days." Qin Xuan looked at Yi Hao with a faint smile on his face, making it difficult for anyone to guess his true thoughts.
After that, Yi He brought the people from the Nine Heaven Immortal Country and left. Before leaving, Mu Jinyu purposely looked at Qin Xuan with a complicated expression.
If Qin Xuan teamed up with the Nine Heaven Immortal Country, then, what position would she have to face Qin Xuan?
Then, Qin Xuan's gaze turned to the other side of the sky, which was where Worry was. At this moment, Worry also looked at Qin Xuan, with a hint of profoundness in his eyes.
He had heard all of Qin Xuan's conversation with Yi.
He stayed behind because he wanted to form an alliance with Qin Xuan. However, he did not expect that Yi Gang would beat him to it, so he was at a loss for words.
"Brother Yu, please stay. I don't know what to say." Qin Xuan looked at Worry and smiled as he spoke, but in his heart, he had already guessed a few things.
"I cannot advise you. Merely, I would like to advise you that choosing an ally that is too strong might not be a good thing at all." Worry looked at Qin Xuan and said lightly.
Qin Xuan's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. He instantly understood the meaning of worry; this was obviously advising him not to ally with the Nine Heaven Immortal Country.
The Non-Phase Sword Sect, Blue Sky Palace, Creation Immortal Palace and other powers all want to kill me. Only the Nine Heavenly Immortal Nation is willing to become my ally to help me. If I reject Yi Hao's good intentions, then I will be pushed into the abyss.
Qin Xuan spoke slowly. The reason why he said that was because he wanted to hear what Worry had to say next.
"If you were to choose between Yi Yuan and I, who would you choose?" Worry stared into Qin Xuan's eyes and spoke.
With a single sentence, Qin Xuan made a choice.
He chose one between him and Yi'e.
Qin Xuan's pupils slightly contracted as he said: "Brother Yu, you mean that you want to join hands with me?"
"Of course, as for the reason, Yi He had made it very clear earlier that I am also on the Heavenly Rankings and ranked higher than Yi He. There is no power behind me, and if you join hands with me, then there won't be any restrictions, but if you join hands with Yi He, then there won't be any freedom."
He then continued, "Of course, if you think that the power I can provide is less than that of the Nine Heaven Immortal Country, then take it that I've never said anything before."
As the sound of his voice faded, Lu Xiao, Yang Hou, and the rest of the disciples from the Gate of Dark Underworld all had looks of surprise on their faces.
The two of them expressed their goodwill towards their young master, both of their statuses were extraordinary. One was the prince of an immortal country while the other one didn't have any status, but his background wasn't inferior to the prince at all.
How many people of the same generation could possess such treatment?
At this moment, Lu Xiao's heart was in turmoil. The Young Master in his memory was indeed talented, but it seemed that he had not reached such a level yet!
