Chapter 138: Late Night Visitors, Arriving One After Another

The ancient prison-suppressing tower bloomed with endless, brilliant radiance before the eyes of the crowd.

The Emperor's Aura overflowing from it was enough to make even those in the Saint King Realm feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The Sect Master of the Arbitration Sect of the Butian Holy Land finally realized the true Rank of the ancient prison-suppressing tower, and shouted angrily, "Qin Xuan, you are just engaging in sophistry!"

Qin Xuan rolled his eyes, unimpressed. "It was agreed that no top-tier Sacred Artifact would be used, so it absolutely cannot be used. My Yaochi Sacred Land keeps its word. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for not investigating my background thoroughly before rushing to kill, wanting to take my head to curry favor with the Ziyang Imperial Family!"

He was indeed being sophistical, so what?

He had even slaughtered Holy Maiden Xu Qi of the Butian Holy Land.

Did he care about three Saints?

Besides, this was the territory of the Yaochi Sacred Land; could the Saint King of the Butian Holy Land actually kill him?

Lei Jun's body was shattering, and he roared while vomiting blood, "Qin Xuan, you won unfairly!"

The soul-capturing banner beside Tian Yi erupted with heaven-shaking suction, distorting Tian Yi's body and dragging him inside.

As Tian Yi suffered a backlash and his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, he roared unwillingly, "I am not convinced! I am not convinced! Sect Master, please kill this scoundrel and avenge us!"

Another Blade Cultivator Saint also exploded into a blood mist, dead beyond any doubt.

In the blink of an eye, of the five Saints who had originally suppressed the Yaochi Sacred Land, three were already dead.

Such a huge loss was rarely heard of since the founding of the Butian Holy Land.

The leading Saint Kings were filled with shared hatred, the veins on their foreheads throbbing.

If looks could kill, Qin Xuan would have been riddled with holes by now!

The Sect Master of the Arbitration Sect, a top-tier powerhouse in the Late Stage of the Saint King Realm, had his eyes splitting with rage. He looked at the Peak Master of Thunder Prison Peak and the others who were prepared for battle, his back teeth nearly shattering.

Turning his head, he snorted coldly, "Yaochi Sacred Land truly has good methods. Let's go!"

Having suffered such a big loss, the Butian Holy Land and Yaochi Sacred Land had already torn off the mask of civility.

Staying here any longer would only escalate the conflict.

They were digging their own graves by using force on someone else's territory.

Qin Xuan waved his hand with a smile, "Don't leave just yet. The exchange isn't over, is it? Best of five, your Butian Holy Land currently has two wins, one loss, and one draw. There is still one last match. Are you admitting defeat and not competing anymore?"

He continued, his words meant to kill the heart, "If we count it like that, our Yaochi Sacred Land has two wins, two losses, and one draw. I killed three of your Saints, so we have the numerical advantage. It is only natural that our Yaochi Sacred Land won this competition!"

The Sect Master of the Arbitration Sect paused, then continued forward. He sent a voice transmission to the remaining two Saints and Saintess, "In the Land of Fallen Emperors, Qin Xuan must die!"

After a long while, the team from the Butian Holy Land disappeared within the borders of the Yaochi Sacred Land.

They had come aggressively, and left in a sorry state.

Having lost three Saints, they had lost all face.

The Disciples of the Yaochi Sacred Land, watching the members of the Butian Holy Land fleeing like stray dogs, burst into loud cheers.

"Celebrate for Senior Brother Qin Xuan!"

"Celebrate for the Yaochi Sacred Land!!"

The cheering, like a tidal wave, grew louder with each wave.

It made Chen Fan's ears ring.

He stared fixedly at the direction of Qin Xuan, grinding his teeth in hatred.

He had never dreamed that Qin Xuan's small tower had actually advanced to a quasi-emperor artifact.

An existence of this Rank was a rare sight even within a Holy Land.

Qin Xuan was only at the third level of the Heavenly Human Realm; how could he have such ability?

This caused him to not only lose the hearts of the people in the Yaochi Sacred Land this time.

It also allowed Qin Xuan to accomplish another great feat and win people's hearts.

However...

Chen Fan sneered in his heart.

Qin Xuan exposing the small tower of the quasi-emperor artifact had both advantages and disadvantages.

In this trip to the Land of Fallen Emperors, there would no longer be powerhouses of the Quasi-Saint Realm chasing after Qin Xuan.

The lowest would be the Saint Realm, and even the Saint King Realm.

At that time, even with a quasi-emperor artifact in hand, Qin Xuan would be unable to escape his doom!

【The Luck value of the Child of Luck Chen Fan has decreased by 20,000 points. The host is rewarded with +20,000 Villain Points!】

Hearing the cold mechanical voice of the System, Qin Xuan glanced at Chen Fan's direction with interest.

Seeing him slink away, the playful expression at the corner of his mouth became even more brilliant.

Senior Sister Ziyuan flew over from not far away, landing beside Qin Xuan. Watching that face she had longed for, she said with eyes full of worry, "The Land of Fallen Emperors is different. With a quasi-emperor artifact in your hand, you are in great danger, not to mention that the Secret Realm itself targets the strong."

"Even those Saint Kings in the outside world are greedy for the quasi-emperor artifact in your hands. In the Yaochi Sacred Land, they were wary of the Sect Master's might and dared not snatch it, but if you enter the Land of Fallen Emperors, no one will hide anything anymore. They will all try every possible way to seize the treasure in your hands!"

"I think it's better if you don't enter the Land of Fallen Emperors this time."

"I will do my best to find treasures for you!"

She could not ignore Qin Xuan's safety.

The Land of Fallen Emperors was already full of dangers, not to mention that Qin Xuan was now surrounded by enemies on all sides once he left the Yaochi Sacred Land.

He was also burdened with the curse of the Double-Pupil Woman, making every step difficult!

"I know what I'm doing."

Qin Xuan looked at the eager-to-try Luo Xinyi and other Daughters of Luck, and then caught a glimpse of the Peak Master of Thunder Prison Peak and others, who also seemed to have something to say to him.

Feeling a headache coming on, he made an excuse and fled back to his residence in Thunder Prison Peak.

Until nightfall, visitors to his residence were endless.

Either they were concerned about the curse of the Double-Pupil Woman on him, or they were advising him not to put himself in danger and not to go to the Land of Fallen Emperors.

It wasn't until he sent off the Peak Master of Thunder Prison Peak that he picked up a cup of fragrant tea and drank it in one gulp.

Qin Xuan shook his head with a wry smile, "I feel like this whole day, I've been a repeater, welcoming guests and sending them off, over and over again."

Inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, Leng Li nodded, "They are also concerned about you!"

As a powerhouse of the Saint King Realm like her, when she was injured back then, she could only curl up alone in a dark cave, silently licking her scarlet wounds.

To have the treatment of the entire Yaochi Sacred Land, either sending Medicinal Pills or sending precious medicines like Qin Xuan, she was envious from the bottom of her heart.

"Besides, these people don't know that I will be hiding in the ancient prison-suppressing tower. They just think you act without regard for consequences, and that you are too reckless in upholding the prestige of the Yaochi Sacred Land."

"Who would have thought that you were deliberately trying to lure those powerhouses into the trap?"

Having been by Qin Xuan's side for a long time, Leng Li knew that Qin Xuan would never do anything to cut off his own path.

It seemed that he had exposed the existence of the quasi-emperor artifact, attracting the covetousness of those Saint Kings and putting himself in a predicament.

In reality, it was just something Qin Xuan did on purpose to lure those powerhouses into the Land of Fallen Emperors, where he could use her hands to wipe out these Saint Kings.

The Saint Kings thought about killing Qin Xuan in the Land of Fallen Emperors without any evidence, and the Yaochi Sacred Land couldn't make things difficult for them. Didn't Qin Xuan have the same idea?

Qin Xuan said playfully, "You really are the roundworm in my belly!"

During the conversation, the gate outside the residence was knocked.

Immediately after, Qing Ning pushed the door and entered.

She was wearing a green lotus leaf dress, with half her shoulders exposed.

Her crystal-clear collarbones were like mutton-fat white jade, translucent and bright.

Her waterfall-like long hair was pinned up high, making her graceful figure even more exquisite.

Qing Ning lowered her head, walked to Qin Xuan, lowered her little head, and said in a muffled voice, "Young Master, I know I was wrong."

Qin Xuan changed his face in a second, stern and unsmiling, and said in a deep voice, "Where were you wrong?"

Qing Ning said aggrievedly, "I shouldn't have quarreled with Senior Sister Ziyuan and the others, and I shouldn't have been jealous of them."

"I am originally a person of sin, I don't have that qualification, and I shouldn't have expected too much."

During the half month that Qin Xuan was not at Thunder Prison Peak, she had no appetite for tea or food, and the bits and pieces of her Young Master constantly circled in her mind.

As the time of separation grew longer, she became more and more unable to control her thoughts.

Day and night were reversed, tossing and turning.

Every time the night was deep and quiet, she would cry secretly.

She regretted her words and actions, and hated her own assertiveness.

She was still the same as before, self-righteous.

Otherwise, how could she have quarreled with Senior Sister Ziyuan and the others, and how could she have caused the Young Master's dissatisfaction?

She had already made a mistake once, and now she had made it again. No wonder the Young Master would be angry!

She felt she had no face to see the Young Master again, but she couldn't help it.

Thinking that the Young Master might go to the Land of Fallen Emperors again soon and separate again, she could no longer suppress the longing in her heart and came to look for him in the middle of the night.

"Young Master, I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again."

"I just want to stay by the Young Master's side, serve you well, and never be separated."

Qing Ning raised her eyes, her watery eyes were red, obviously having cried for a long time.

Qin Xuan reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of Qing Ning's eyes, and said calmly, "If you know you were wrong, then stay."

He didn't intend to really make things difficult for Qing Ning.

Qing Ning was a love-brain, with her heart set on him, and she had already given her most precious purity.

Let such a love-brain betray him?

Even if threatened with her life, Qing Ning would resolutely choose to commit suicide rather than implicate him.

Moreover, this residence was empty, and without Qing Ning to pour tea and water, he would have to do it himself, which was obviously very inconvenient.

Qing Ning raised her eyes, crying with joy, and asked in surprise, "Young Master, have you forgiven me?"

Qin Xuan pinched Qing Ning's cheek slightly, then took her slender jade hand and pulled her into his arms, joking, "How could I be willing to really push such a little beauty away?"

It seemed like teasing, a sign of disrespect.

But in Qing Ning's heart, there was no rejection, and she even felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, lying in Qin Xuan's arms, enjoying the intimacy as much as possible.

Qing Ning looked up and said softly, "The Land of Fallen Emperors is about to open. Is the Young Master going?"

Qin Xuan asked back, "If there is an Opportunity, why not go?"

Qing Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said: "If the Young Master doesn't mind, we can go to the Land of Fallen Emperors together. Whenever the Young Master needs it, I can relieve your fatigue and eliminate your weariness."

Qin Xuan cursed, "That place is full of danger. Do you think I'm going for sightseeing?"

"If I take you with me, wouldn't I be putting you in danger?"

Qing Ning quickly said, "Then Young Master, don't go either. You also know that it is very dangerous there."

In her eyes, tears rolled.

How could she not know that the Land of Fallen Emperors was full of danger?

Even her father had repeatedly warned her that she was absolutely not allowed to enter that Secret Realm.

You know, even the former Great Emperor Ziyang fell in that Secret Realm.

Since then, the powerful people outside have been fearful of the Land of Fallen Emperors like a tiger.

Even a Great Emperor could not protect himself, let alone others?!

"Tsk, you are quite clever, you have even learned how to advance by retreating." Qin Xuan gave Qing Ning a thumbs up unexpectedly.

He thought Qing Ning was thinking of having fun. Who would have thought it was a strategy of advancing by retreating?

It was quite shrewd.

Qing Ning lowered her head in disappointment, "I just don't want the Young Master to encounter danger again."

"I can't accept never seeing the Young Master again."

"Just thinking about it, I feel a chill all over, as if I were thrown into an ice cave!"

Qin Xuan was touched. He picked up Qing Ning by the waist and whispered in her ear, "I can reach the places where the sun cannot shine."

Qing Ning's whole body softened, and she leaned into Qin Xuan's arms, letting him do whatever he wanted, her cheeks as red as a ripe apple.

【The host is rewarded with +1,000 Villain Points!】

【The host is rewarded with +1,000 * 2 Villain Points!】

The night grew deeper.

Outside the residence, there was another knock on the door.

In the quiet night, it was even more jarring.

Before Qing Ning could tidy up her lotus leaf dress, the door had already been pushed open from the outside.

The person who came was none other than Mu Qingxue, who was tossing and turning at night and unable to sleep.

Qing Ning was startled, worried that her embarrassing situation would be discovered, so she quickly climbed over the wall and left through the window.

Qin Xuan leaned on the head of the bed, glanced sideways at the uninvited Mu Qingxue, and said coldly, "Don't you know how to knock on the door?"

Seeing Qin Xuan's indifferent appearance, Mu Qingxue felt a pang in her heart, "I knocked, and the door opened by itself."

Qin Xuan cursed Qing Ning, this little girl, for not knowing how to close the door when she came in.

Fortunately, Mu Qingxue came late, otherwise, it would have disturbed his mood!

"Something up?"

Qin Xuan yawned, not wanting to waste his breath on Mu Qingxue at such a time.

Mu Qingxue said with a heavy heart, "I got a curse-breaking pill from my father, which might help to lift your curse."

Saying that, she took out a brown Medicinal Pill, walked to Qin Xuan, and handed it out.

Qin Xuan reached out to take it and waved his hand, "I'll accept the Medicinal Pill, you can go now."

Mu Qingxue shook her head, "Take it first, I want to see you break the curse with my own eyes."

Qin Xuan rolled his eyes.

What curse? The curse of the Double-Pupil Woman was just like a tattoo.

There was absolutely no downside.

To send Mu Qingxue away, he had no choice but to put the brown curse-breaking pill into his mouth.

The moment the medicinal power was digested,

Mu Qingxue stepped forward quickly, pulled open Qin Xuan's clothes, saw that the curse of the Double-Pupil Woman was still there, and said with eyes full of pain, "Is it possible that it has no effect at all?"

Qin Xuan could feel a cool medicinal power wandering through his limbs and bones.

It was like a headless fly flying around.

However, there was no curse in his body at all, so how could there be any talk of breaking the curse?

"In the future, don't waste your efforts on this. The Double-Pupil Woman is a Quasi-Emperor, and her methods are unfathomable. I appreciate your good intentions."

Qin Xuan stared at Mu Qingxue and started to chase guests away again, "It's the middle of the night, if you don't leave, won't it tarnish the reputation of you, Fairy Qingxue?"

Mu Qingxue shook her head solemnly, "You and I already have a marriage contract, why fear the words of others?"

Qin Xuan frowned, always feeling that Mu Qingxue was a little strange tonight.

Suddenly, feeling the cool medicinal power in his body disappear, a burst of heat rose from the bottom of his heart. He raised his eyes in horror and glared at Mu Qingxue, "You did something to the Medicinal Pill?!"
