Chapter 189: Hongmen Banquet

Chapter 189: Hongmen Banquet

She raised her eyes to look up at Qin Xuan, her beautiful eyes filled with joy as she said, "I have achieved a Breakthrough, advancing to the Middle Stage of the Saint Realm. Furthermore, I feel that there are still many remnants of the soul stored within my Soul-Devouring Body; in the short term, it is impossible to fully absorb them."

Qin Xuan nodded with a smile, "Regardless, that is the remnant soul of the God of Ice. It is only to be expected that it would possess such terrifying energy."

He looked around at the collapsing Endless Ice Cave and continued, "This place is not suitable for a long stay. Let's get out of here first."

Wu Bingqing searched through her fragmented memories, "I know a shortcut to leave this place."

With that said, she pulled Qin Xuan along and used her hand as a blade to slice open a spatial rift.

After stepping through, by the time they stood once again on the soil-scented ground, they were already in front of the entrance to the Endless Ice Cave.

This Endless Ice Cave was, in fact, a small Secret Realm created by the God of Ice.

As long as one knows the correct location of the rift, there is no need to traverse that long area again; one can jump directly out and re-enter the Land of Fallen Emperors.

"We are out."

Wu Bingqing, who was usually cold, aloof, and murderous, now stared at Qin Xuan with eyes full of anticipation.

Her beautiful eyes held joy, and even more, a sense of eagerness.

Watching Wu Bingqing, who was like a child seeking praise, Qin Xuan did not hesitate to reach out and pat her head, praising her, "Well done!"

Wu Bingqing narrowed her eyes like an obedient little kitten, fully enjoying Qin Xuan's caress.

Where was there any trace of the demeanor a Saint should have?

She was clearly just a single-minded, pure-love warrior.

It was only when Qin Xuan stopped stroking her that Wu Bingqing slowly turned her head, a sudden chill appearing in her gaze.

She raised her hand and struck with a palm.

Saintly power surged.

Boom—a giant Peak exploded into dust.

Behind that giant Peak, a majestic figure slowly rose into the air.

It was none other than the Saint King Realm expert from the Ning Prince Mansion!

He glanced at the murderous Wu Bingqing, feeling a chill in his heart.

One had to know, previously in the Endless Ice Cave, if the Third Prince had not taken out an Imperial Object, how would they have any chance of survival now?

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva in terror, the Saint King Realm expert from the Ning Prince Mansion said loudly, "Qin Xuan, if you do not stop her, once I fall, the people from your Yaochi Sacred Land will have no way out!"

"Kill you!"

Black mist permeated Wu Bingqing's eyes.

Qin Xuan hurriedly raised his hand, grabbing her slender wrist, and stared at the Saint King Realm powerhouse, saying coldly, "You captured them?"

The Saint King Realm expert slowly nodded, then shook his head, emphasizing, "It should be said that His Highness the Third Prince cherishes talent and has invited them to stay for a short while, just to invite you, this peerless Prodigy, for a chat."

Qin Xuan nodded calmly without changing his expression, "Then lead the way."

He knew the Third Prince would cause trouble.

But he had not expected things to escalate to such a degree.

Was he tired of living?

Or did he think it was hard to find him, so he came to seek death voluntarily?

The Saint King Realm expert from the Ning Prince Mansion pointed at Wu Bingqing and shook his head, "She cannot go."

Are you joking!

A Wu Bingqing at the Peak of Quasi-Saint was already shocking enough.

If they were to invite Wu Bingqing, who was now in the Saint Realm, at this time.

Would that be setting a Hongmen Banquet for Qin Xuan, or would it be making them the turtles in a jar?

Wu Bingqing gripped Qin Xuan's palm and shook her head, "I will go with you and kill them!"

Qin Xuan stroked Wu Bingqing's smooth and delicate hand, soothingly saying, "Be obedient."

The bloodthirsty Wu Bingqing, seeing those deep eyes of Qin Xuan, pursed her little lips and could only give a soft hum in the end.

She simply could not refuse.

The powerhouse from the Ning Prince Mansion emphasized, "I must witness Wu Bingqing leaving the Land of Fallen Emperors!"

He was still not at ease and had to witness Wu Bingqing leaving.

As long as she left the Land of Fallen Emperors, let alone Wu Bingqing only being a Saint.

Even Great Emperor Ziyang would be unable to enter again!

"Very well!"

Qin Xuan agreed and, together with the people from the Ning Prince Mansion, escorted Wu Bingqing to the portal that led out of the Land of Fallen Emperors.

Only after witnessing her disappear into the portal did the powerhouse from the Ning Prince Mansion change his cautious attitude. He looked at Qin Xuan with a faint smile and gestured an invitation, "Young Master Qin, please!"

Several hours later, the Saint King Realm expert brought Qin Xuan to an open plain.

The lush green grass stretched to the sky, and gentle herbivorous Yao Beasts moved in herds.

The moment Qin Xuan appeared, the heavens and the earth changed color.

Majestic Saint King Realm experts appeared from all directions with a boom.

Their imposing auras intertwined like an inverted galaxy.

A full seven Saint King Realm experts were positioned in all directions, their saintly powers merging into one. A massive barrier sealed off the area for a hundred miles, not even allowing a fly to enter.

Those startled Yao Beasts ran about in panic, and the moment they touched the barrier, they instantly turned into dust and dissipated into nothingness.

The two Saint King Realm experts from the Butian Holy Land stared at Qin Xuan with eyes about to split from rage, shouting angrily, "Thief, you truly have great courage to dare to come alone! Even if you are a Prodigy among men, this time, you can only bury your bones here!"

"For insulting our Butian Holy Land, your crimes deserve death!"

The Saint King Realm expert from the Ning Prince Mansion also curled his lips.

The advantage was with him, so there was no need to pretend, "Qin Xuan, you killed the heir first, then insulted our Prince Mansion; this debt of hatred must be repaid with your life!"

Another loose Saint King Realm expert whom he had seen before curled his lips in mockery, "This time, there is no longer a Peak Master of Wan Jian Peak to block the Saint King Realm experts for you!"

Qin Xuan turned a deaf ear and shouted loudly, "Where is the Third Prince!?"

As his voice fell, a luxurious imperial carriage descended within the barrier. The sixteen beauties carrying the carriage were all of Quasi-Saint cultivation; the pomp was not small at all.

The Third Prince clapped his hands with a spring breeze-like expression, exclaiming, "You are truly worthy of being the Prodigy who could kill my eldest brother's lowly illegitimate son. This spirit is truly shocking; it is a pity to kill you."

He glanced lightly, "Retreat!"

The seven Saint King Realm experts dared not disobey and retreated one after another.

Qin Xuan looked directly at the Third Prince inside the imperial carriage, "Where are the people from the Yaochi Sacred Land?"

The Third Prince took out a jade bowl and turned it upside down. The Cultivators of the Yaochi Sacred Land fell to the ground like dumplings, smashing into deep pits one after another.

The most conspicuous among them was the Peak Master of Wan Jian Peak.

This Peak Master, who had been majestic and vast when they first met, now had his cultivation sealed, was covered in blood, and lay paralyzed on the ground like a bloody corpse, unconscious.

The other Prodigies of the Yaochi Sacred Land were not injured, but their cultivation was sealed.

After all, with seven Saint King Realm experts joining forces, except for the Peak Master of Wan Jian Peak who could put up a slight resistance, the others were all captured in an instant; there was no talk of a fight to the death.

The moment everyone saw Qin Xuan, their eyes filled with blood and tears, and they were in great pain, "Senior Brother Qin Xuan, you have fallen into a trap!"

"You should not have come here!"

"And you should not have put yourself in danger to save us!"

"..."

Seeing that Qin Xuan was willing to risk danger alone for their sake, these Prodigies felt both moved and filled with regret.

Qin Xuan did not see the figure of Senior Sister Ziyuan among these people, so he asked curiously, "Where is Senior Sister Ziyuan?"

A Disciple replied, "Senior Sister Ziyuan left halfway to explore a place of Opportunity and was not captured."

Qin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, sighing in his heart that she was indeed worthy of being a Daughter of Luck; she could even naturally escape a destined calamity.

He walked to the very back and saw Su Youyu, who was at the very end, squatting on the ground with her back to him, staring blankly at the vast grassland with lifeless eyes.

Seeing her resting her chin on her hand with a wooden expression of complete despair, he couldn't help but ask with a smile, "And what about you? What is going on?"
