On this day, five figures appeared in the sky above First Emperor Island. It was Qin Xuan's group.
"First Emperor Island is next." Qin Xuan said, but he did not fall down, he looked towards the distance, his gaze becoming extremely profound, as though he could see through the distance between Endless Space, and the scene far away.
He saw a majestic sect, a Tianji Palace standing in the sky.
When he had left the First Emperor Island for the Haotian Island, he encountered a group of people on the way. There were many people who were from the Heavenly Sword Sect, an envoy from the Cloud King Island, and even brought a sacred artifact with them in hopes of killing him on the way.
But most of the people were subdued by him, and on the way here, he had already sent out orders, summoning them to the First Emperor Island.
After waiting for some time, a sonic boom could be heard. Dozens of silhouettes flew over with swords in their hands. They were the people who had failed when the Heavenly Sword Sect tried to assassinate him. Now, they were all Qin Xuan's subordinates.
"I am Jiang Chuan. Greetings, master." Jiang Chuan cupped his hands towards Qin Xuan from afar and bowed his head, not daring to look Qin Xuan in the eyes.
Now, he had also heard of the events that had transpired outside of Sacred Isle. The person who had caused such a ruckus in the battles of trials had actually forged his identity, coming from the Nine Regions. Furthermore, he was the person with the most outstanding talent in the Nine Regions.
Now, there was an additional identity: the successor of Master Tianyu.
Previously, when they were subdued by Qin Xuan, they were a bit unwilling to accept it. However, that trace of unwillingness was now completely gone. They truly respected Qin Xuan as their leader.
It would definitely be an honor for them to submit to someone like peerless evildoer. In the future, when Qin Xuan grew up and became a person who stood at the peak, they would also have the honor of being together.
Originally, he sent them to the Profound Moon Island to help Elder Yinhua merge the two great power s. However, after they discovered the figures of the Heavenly Sword Sect later on, if they appeared, it would definitely attract Tianji Sword Lord's attention. Thus, they quietly left.
From then on, Qin Xuan knew that Tianji Sword Lord really wanted to kill him, so he secretly sent people to stay in the Profound Moon Island to inquire about news of him.
Perhaps Tianji Sword Lord already knew the news of his return, but it wasn't important. All grudges would be resolved today.
"Lead the way to Tianji Palace." Qin Xuan said.
"Yes." Jiang Chuan responded. He didn't ask why, but just followed his master's orders.
Jiang Chuan and the rest led the way, while Qin Xuan and the others followed behind, heading straight for Tianji Palace.
Inside Tianji Palace, the atmosphere in the vast palace was especially tense, as if there was a layer of invisible haze, causing many disciples to look extremely downcast, as if they were listless.
They also found out about what happened outside of Saint's Island a few days ago. Back then, Qin Xuan had a grudge with the Sword School, and the Sword Master even sent many people to assassinate Qin Xuan.
Right now, it could be said that everyone in Heavenly Sword Sect was panicking, and many of them wanted to leave the sword sect.
This place was too dangerous. A calamity could descend upon them at any time.
In the tallest palace in Tianji Palace, there were two figures among them. It was Tianji Sword Lord and Li Tianya.
They had just received news from the people that the Celestial Tea Sect had merged with two other forces and became the overlord of the Profound Moon Island. Lin Ru had also participated in this matter.
Tianji Sword Lord's expression was extremely dark and his eyes continuously flashed. When Lin Ru appeared, he wondered if that person had arrived as well.
If that's the case, the next place should be the First Emperor Island.
"Master, why don't we leave first?" Li Tianya's face was pale. After hearing this news, he was extremely anxious and had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. If they had known about his origins, they wouldn't have done what they did.
"Go, where do you want to go?" This caused Li Tianya's body to tremble as if he had seen a terrifying thing. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "Master misunderstood. If Liu Tie didn't leave, how could disciple leave?"
"Although he is the head disciple of the Xia Wang Jie, as a Sacred Ground, he would never take the initiative to attack for him. He is only a Early Rank of Emperor Stage cultivator, even with Lin Ru, he wouldn't be able to cause much of a commotion.
If it was just the two of them, he could still deal with them. Moreover, he had the help of Cloud Empire, if he really had no other choice, Cloud Empire would not be able to stay out of this matter.
What really worried Tianji Sword Lord was whether Qin Xuan would join forces with other forces to deal with him.
Not only did he have a powerful background in the Nine Regions, he also had a Xia Wang Jie as his backer.
In a situation like this, if Qin Xuan were to offer an olive branch, there would probably be many powers that would depend on him.
However, nothing had happened now. He was probably overthinking things. Perhaps, Qin Xuan did not care about what happened back then at all.
However, just as this thought appeared in his mind, he sensed several powerful presences appearing outside the Tianji Palace. His countenance abruptly changed, could it be …
Li Tianya also felt it. In an instant, his face turned ashen and his legs felt weak. If he really arrived, what would happen?
After that, in an extremely short period of time, the people of Tianji Palace all sensed the auras outside. The panic in their hearts completely exploded, and their expressions turned extremely ugly, as if doomsday had arrived.
It wasn't that they didn't want to leave the Heavenly Sword Sect, but Tianji Sword Lord had already given the order that if someone were to leave during a critical moment in the sect, they would be considered a traitor and kill them all!
Everyone could only stay in the Tianji Palace and not go out.
If anyone left without permission, they would be killed without mercy.
The people of Heavenly Sword Sect were extremely familiar with Tianji Sword Lord's methods. He would definitely do as he said, no one could disobey his orders.
At this moment, they could only pray that things weren't as bad as they had imagined. Perhaps there was still room for manoeuvre.
"Tianji Sword Lord." A loud and clear voice spread to every corner of the Tianji Palace and everyone could hear it loud and clear.
Soon after, a few figures walked out from the Tianji Palace. The one in the middle was Tianji Sword Lord, and the people beside him were all elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect, as well as people from the High Rank of Monarch Stage.
They looked at the figures in front of them, Tianji Sword Lord's gaze instantly locked onto the person in the lead. A terrifying Sword Intent exploded in his eyes, as he gnashed his teeth and shouted: "Jiang Chuan!"
He thought that Jiang Chuan had died, but now that Jiang Chuan had appeared, there was no need to explain further.
Jiang Chuan had betrayed him.
Facing Tianji Sword Lord's furious gaze, Jiang Chuan's expression remained as calm as before, and said indifferently: "Back then when you assassinated my master, you deserved to die ten thousand times for your crimes. Now, I'm giving you a chance to commit suicide, you can protect the lives of all the disciples in Heavenly Sword Sect, make your own move."
"Your master?" Tianji Sword Lord's face darkened. He seemed to have understood what was going on. The next moment, a powerful aura was released, and it seemed to be difficult to suppress the anger in his heart.
Not only had his subordinates betrayed him, they had even turned to their enemies. This was simply an enormous humiliation to him.
"Do you still want to resist when you are about to die?" Jiang Chuan glanced at Tianji Sword Lord indifferently as if he was looking at a dead man.
Since his master had returned, Tianji Sword Lord would definitely die. It all depended on how he chose to die.
"Just with trash like you, you want me to kill myself?"
Tianji Sword Lord sneered. He flew high up in the sky, looking down on Jiang Chuan and the others with eyes filled with a sense of contempt. He, Tianji Sword Lord, has roamed the world for a long time and has killed countless people.
Today, a group of ants dared to be presumptuous in front of him. This was courting death!
"It's not easy for you to cultivate. I think it's best that you do it yourself. Otherwise, I'm afraid you would end up in a bad state." Jiang Chuan said again.
"How many of you are there? I haven't started killing in a long time." Tianji Sword Lord looked at Jiang Chuan and the others with disdain. These people alone were not enough for him to kill.
"There's only one person." At this moment, a voice drifted over from the void. It wasn't Jiang Chuan who spoke.
After hearing that voice, Tianji Sword Lord's expression suddenly changed. He looked a little panicked, there was actually someone else?
In the next moment, a figure dressed in white appeared out of nowhere. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking very handsome. There was not a single trace of aura emanating from his body, as if he was an ordinary person without any cultivation.
Tianji Sword Lord's eyelids twitched continuously when he saw the figure in white. He felt uneasy in his heart.
This person had been hiding for such a long time, but he didn't notice at all. Either this person was very good at hiding, or his cultivation was far above his.
The man in white was Feng Qing. He looked at Tianji Sword Lord and said, "I'm the only one fighting you."
"Who are you?" Tianji Sword Lord asked with a grave expression on his face. Although this person did not release his aura, his aura was extraordinary and seemed to be one with the world.
"A dying man, where did all this talk come from?" Feng Qing said impatiently and pointed at Tianji Sword Lord.
In the next moment, a golden finger abruptly appeared in the middle of the air. It was incomparably dazzling, like the finger of a god, containing a divine might that directly penetrated through space, as though it could destroy everything.
The finger seemed capable of exterminating the Dao, and the Daoist magic was completely gone.
Tianji Sword Lord's pupils suddenly contracted. He saw the golden finger rapidly enlarging and a rumbling sound could be heard. His body's power was unleashed to the extreme and a peerless divine sword was released. It violently charged towards the golden finger.
"Crunch."
A shattering sound rang out, and the divine sword was instantly shattered into pieces. Almost at the same time, a golden light flashed across Tianji Sword Lord's body, causing his face to turn pale, he felt that his life had stopped flowing, and time was frozen here.
Countless people stared at Tianji Sword Lord's figure. They saw that his body was shrouded in golden light. His body gradually turned illusory, as if he was about to disappear into the golden light.
After a short while, Tianji Sword Lord's figure had completely disappeared from the world. Only the golden light did not disappear.
At this point, Tianji Sword Lord, the hero of the First Emperor Island, fell!
