Peerless God Emperor

Qin Wentian's words caused them to be somewhat shaken.    

If this battle continued, he didn't know what the result would be. Was it really worth it to fight for a ranking that didn't differ too much?    

This was originally a matter considered by the Mu Clan. But now, it was the turn of the Lu Clan's experts to consider it.    

All of this changed because of a single person. Before this, this person's background was unknown, and very few people in the Nine Heavens City knew of his existence. However, no one doubted that after today, Qin Xuan's name would resound throughout the Nine Heavens City and be remembered by countless people.    

At this moment, Yi He looked at Lu Xiao and said, "I think we should call it a day. Since Qin Xuan is so stubborn, Lu Xiao, why don't you take a step back and give up the second place?"    

Lu Xiao turned to face Yi and clasped her hands. "Since Fourth Prince has spoken, Lu Xiaoxiao shall do as he says."    

The crowd could not help but have a strange expression on their faces when they heard their conversation. Isn't it too much of a coincidence that Yi He was trying to persuade them at this moment?    

The feeling it gave others was as though it was deliberately giving Lu Xiao a way out.    

If Lu Xiao were to directly concede to the Mu palace, the King's Palace would lose face and be looked down upon by the world. However, if Yi County were to speak out against it, that would be a completely different matter.    

Yi was Fourth Prince, while Lu Xiao was only a crown prince. The identity of the two of them was that of master and servant. As the lord had his orders, the servants had no choice but to obey.    

Qin Xuan looked meaningfully at Yi. Regardless of whether it was on his own or because he had privately conversed with Lu Xiao beforehand, it was already a show of goodwill for him to be able to say such words in front of everyone.    

Naturally, there was a reason behind his talent. If not, why would Fourth Prince from the Nine Heavens Immortal Empire speak up for him.    

"Thank you, Fourth Prince." Qin Xuan clasped his fists towards Yi Xiao, ignoring her. After all, she was the mediator of Yi. On the surface, she had nothing to do with Lu Xiao. Before this, Lu Xiao had not treated him with a friendly manner.    

Aware of Qin Xuan's cold attitude towards her, Lu Xiao regretted it endlessly. However, things had already come to this point and he had no way to keep her. He could only think of other ways to remedy the situation in the future.    

"Go down." With a command from Lu Xiao, everyone from the King's Palace left the arena.    

At this point, the Lu palace was ranked third in the competition.    

After the King Lu Palace's men left the stage, Qin Xuan also left and walked towards the Mu King Palace.    

Seeing Qin Xuan walking over, Mu Jinyu, Yan Zheng, and the others all had a look of joy on their faces, as if they were welcoming him back. Of course, the exception was Bai Qiu.    

"Thank you, for winning second place to the Mu Clan." Mu Jinyu thanked Qin Xuan with a sincere expression.    

"No need to thank me, I have my own selfish motives." Qin Xuan said with a smile. Mu Jinyu did not know that he placed his bet in the Star Pavilion, so she naturally did not understand why he wanted to compete for this position.    

"No matter what selfish intentions you have, the final result would be beneficial for the Mu palace, so I must still thank you." Mu Jinyu smiled sweetly. The smile on her face was extremely brilliant, as if she had gone from a cold princess to a neighbor, little girl. This caused people to feel pity for her.    

"This difference..." Qin Xuan was stunned. He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and became absent-minded for a moment.    

He suddenly had a feeling that the current Mu Jinyu might be the real Mu Jinyu. Without any restraint, she let go of everything and considered him as a true friend, not as a partner.    

Thinking about this, Qin Xuan was a little touched and joked: "Alright, but don't forget what you promised me."    

"I won't forget." Mu Jinyu smiled. She knew how important that matter was to Qin Xuan, so she had always placed it in her heart.    

As Yan Zheng, Fan Ming, and the others watched Mu Jinyu and Qin Xuan chat, they couldn't help but reveal a strange expression. They had known the princess for a very long time, and it was only in front of Qin Xuan that she could behave in such a manner.    

Many thoughts flashed through their minds. Qin Xuan was handsome, had an extraordinary temperament, and his talent was rare among his peers. If the two of them were to be together, it would be a good thing for them to be together.    

Bai Qiu naturally noticed that Qin Xuan and Mu Jinyu's relationship wasn't ordinary, and was a bit ambiguous. This directly stung his heart, he had always hidden a love and adoration towards Mu Jinyu, and had originally planned to only confess to her after their relationship got closer.    

However, what he did not expect was that Qin Xuan's appearance changed everything that he expected.    

The woman he dreamt of had been beaten by someone.    

One could imagine how angry he was and how much killing intent he had towards Qin Xuan.    

Qin Xuan didn't know that other people would have such thoughts. He simply admired Mu Jinyu and considered her as a friend. As for their relationship, he had never thought of it before.    

"Envoy, our ranking has been announced. Can the tournament end now?" Yi Yuan greeted the envoy in the sky with a cupped fist and asked.    

The envoy nodded his head lightly, his gaze sweeping across the vast crowd around him, and he said in a clear voice: "This competition of the immortal kingdoms has concluded, the palace will be the first, the Mu palace will be second, the Lu palace will be third, the Yin palace will be third, and the Zhao palace will be the last two. After the competition is over, we must immediately return to Qing Xuan, and do not delay any further."    

"I shall follow the orders of the envoy!" Everyone exclaimed in unison, their expressions different. There were people who were happy, while there were others who were worried.    

Zhao Junye and Yin Rong's faces were as ugly as they could get. At this moment, they truly understood what it meant to lose all their efforts. All the efforts they had made just now had been for naught.    

In the air, the Star Point Pavilion's Vice President Pavilion Master's face was as pale as paper, and his body was unsteady. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind.    

Star Pavilion was finished!    

"I never thought that my bet would be right." In another area, a middle-aged black robe said with a playful smile.    

He had never placed a bet before, but this time, his luck was simply off the charts.    

"That kid from Tianxuan is not simple, I wonder what his background is." A trace of curiosity appeared in the eyes of the green-robed middle-aged man. At that time, they only felt that Qin Xuan was extraordinary, so they bet with him without considering the outcome.    

"Don't worry, we'll find out in the future." The black robe casually waved his hand and said slowly.    

After the competition ended, the various forces all left. Yi Hao brought the royal family back to the inner city while the people from the four palaces did not leave the Nine Heavens Palace. Instead, they returned to their respective restaurants.    

The next day, a middle-aged man appeared in the air outside of the restaurant where the Mu Clan's royal palace was located. He asked, "Where is Qin Xuan?"    

The middle-aged man's voice was vigorous and powerful. It instantly spread throughout the entire restaurant. The next moment, many figures flew out of the restaurant. Qin Xuan also appeared.    

Qin Xuan raised his head to look at the sky. When he saw the middle-aged man, his pupils couldn't help but constrict. He knew this person, it was the powerful warrior next to Yuyou.    

This middle-aged man who had just arrived was naturally a handsome man.    

"Senior, why are you looking for me?" Qin Xuan asked politely. Since this person was standing beside Worry, he must be very powerful.    

"My family's Young Master invites you over for a seat." Xiang Jun said.    

When the crowd heard the handsome guy's words, their eyes focused. What was the purpose of worriedly looking for Qin Xuan?    

Could it be that she had taken a fancy to his talent and wanted to win him over?    

"When will it be?" Qin Xuan asked again.    

"We're going now."    

"Alright." Qin Xuan nodded. He was alone and worried about sending people to invite him. Naturally, he could not refuse, otherwise, he would not be able to get out of Nine Heavens City.
