Chapter 190: Hand Over the ancient prison-suppressing tower

Su Youyu glanced at Qin Xuan listlessly and switched hands to prop up her cheek.

Staring blankly at the plains ahead, she murmured dejectedly, "I thought being by the side of the Peak Master of Wan Jian Peak would be safe, that we would be able to retreat unscathed. Who could have imagined that the Third Prince of the Ziyang Dynasty would suddenly return from the Endless Ice Cave and deliberately come to capture the Disciples of the Yaochi Sacred Land?"

Being alone and targeted is understandable.

After all, killing people to seize treasures is something seen everywhere in the Secret Realm, and even outside the Holy Land.

But to round up all the Disciples of the Holy Land who entered the Land of Fallen Emperors like this is unheard of.

And it just so happens that the other party is a prince of the Ziyang Imperial Family.

Not to mention that this matter is difficult to expose.

Even if it were exposed and Master found out, what then?

No matter how powerful her Master is, it is impossible to destroy an entire nation single-handedly!

Watching Su Youyu, who looked like she had lost all will to live, Qin Xuan didn't know why, but seeing her resigned appearance made him want to laugh. He asked even more curiously, "Previously, whenever you encountered even a small problem, you would crush the true phoenix feather, wishing you could keep me tied to your belt at all times. What's going on now? Has the number of uses for the true phoenix feather run out, and it's become useless?"

Su Youyu took out the true phoenix feather and tossed it to Qin Xuan, sighing listlessly, "If you want it, you can keep it yourself."

Qin Xuan examined the true phoenix feather in his hand; although it had lost a bit of its appearance, the overflowing spatial energy was still intense.

Su Youyu composed herself, finally waking up from her dejection. She looked at Qin Xuan and rolled her eyes irritably, "I admit that I, Su Youyu, am indeed afraid of death, but I am only afraid of death; I am not a traitor!"

"As soon as the other side appeared, there were seven in the Saint King Realm. Even the Peak Master of Wan Jian Peak was heavily injured and on the verge of death in a single exchange. What use would it be for me to teleport you here at this time? To call you over to die?"

She didn't dwell on this point.

Her fear of death was obvious to everyone.

This was her nature; there was absolutely no need to hide it.

Huu—

Su Youyu exhaled a breath of clean air, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pulled up her skirt slightly, looked fixedly at Qin Xuan, and spoke as if having made a major decision, "Qin Xuan, I've decided, you should be the one to do it."

"I really can't bring myself to commit suicide. Just kill me with one palm; it's best if I turn into ashes instantly, the kind without any pain, and don't even leave any residue behind."

"I don't want to be driven as a slave by this group of filthy things, and even less do I want to lose my purity in their hands!"

Qin Xuan glanced sideways at the Saint King Realm experts filling the sky, a smile playing on his lips, and teased Su Youyu, "I don't think it should come to that, right? At this moment, aren't you still pure?"

Su Youyu huffed in annoyance, "That's because they are wary of your quasi-emperor artifact and think I still have some utility value. You have already been targeted by seven in the Saint King Realm and cannot escape. Once you die, what concerns would they have left?"

The expert from the Ning Prince Mansion grew impatient, unwilling to waste any more time, and shouted angrily, "Qin Xuan, you cannot escape. Hand over the ancient prison-suppressing tower, and I will leave your corpse intact!"

"Shut up!" The Third Prince in the imperial carriage shouted angrily, forcing the expert from the Ning Prince Mansion to back down. He then looked at Qin Xuan and spoke slowly, "I am not a bloodthirsty person, Qin Xuan. You still have another path you can choose."

He tapped his fingers on the smooth table built of jade and said calmly, "As long as you hand over the ancient prison-suppressing tower and agree to let me plant a mark deep in your Divine Soul, not only will you live, but all the Disciples of the Yaochi Sacred Land will also live."

Qin Xuan's status as a Prodigy is obvious to everyone.

Perhaps the current Qin Xuan is not yet enough to play a crucial role in his struggle for imperial power.

But his father is currently in the prime of his life; who knows how many more years it will be before he abdicates.

At Qin Xuan's current speed of Breakthrough, reaching the Peak of the Saint King Realm is guaranteed.

Even breaking through to the quasi-emperor level is not impossible!

With such a Prodigy to assist, wouldn't the chances of success skyrocket!?

"Senior Brother, you must not!"

"Better to be a beggar than a slave to others!"

"..."

The Disciples of the Yaochi Sacred Land shouted in unison, sharing a common hatred for the enemy.

Su Youyu was transmitting her voice to Qin Xuan, "You should still just kill me with your palm first."

Inside the small tower, Leng Li said coldly, "What big talk. Watch me suppress him!"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, but Qin Xuan remained as immovable as a mountain.

His face was livid, and his expression was as gloomy as water.

After pondering for a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked directly at the Third Prince in the imperial carriage, saying, "I can agree to your conditions, but they must leave the Land of Fallen Emperors safely!"

"Otherwise, once the mark is planted, I will be completely unable to resist your commands!"

The Saint King of the Ning Prince Mansion shouted urgently, "Your Highness, beware of deception!"

The other Saint King Realm experts spoke up one after another, "How could such a Prodigy be willing to become a slave?"

"This child's mind is complex; Your Highness, must remember not to fall for his schemes."

"Now that the barrier has been formed, he cannot escape and has no chance of survival. Your Highness must absolutely not be indecisive!"

"Shut up!" The Third Prince shouted angrily. He looked around at each Saint King Realm expert and said coldly, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The Ziyang Imperial Family, especially the royal clan, is high and mighty.

Even those as strong as the Saint King Realm dare not disobey.

After scolding the group of Saint King Realm experts, the Third Prince slowly shifted his gaze to stare at Qin Xuan. He narrowed his eyes, seemingly wanting to see through Qin Xuan's thoughts. After a long pause, he said, "I can agree to your request, but you must first hand over the quasi-emperor artifact."

"Otherwise, why should I believe your one-sided word?"

It is well known that Qin Xuan's most effective tool is this quasi-emperor artifact.

It has the ability to contend with the Saint King Realm.

Without this tower, no matter how strong Qin Xuan is, he is no match for the Saint King Realm.

As long as Qin Xuan has any intention of resisting, he will definitely not hand over the quasi-emperor artifact.

At that time, he will have no choice but to round them all up.

"Take it!"

Qin Xuan raised his hand, and the ancient prison-suppressing tower shot towards the Third Prince, spinning as it went.

He handed it over without the slightest hesitation.

"Are you crazy!?" Su Youyu was terrified, grabbing Qin Xuan's arm, "You handed over the small tower, even the last hope of escape has been extinguished!"

Qin Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile, "From the moment I entered the barrier, hope was already lost. Even if I risked my life to severely injure one or two Saint King Realm experts, what would it change? It wouldn't change the situation at all. It's better to use this sharp blade of mine, which is within their reach, to trade for your survival."

"Senior Brother..."

"I was so stupid, really!"

"I should have committed suicide back then! I shouldn't have become a burden to you, Senior Brother!"

"..."

The Disciples of the Yaochi Sacred Land covered their faces and sobbed.

Who could have imagined that Senior Brother Qin Xuan would be willing to hand over the quasi-emperor artifact for their sake, be driven by the Third Prince, and become his slave?

"Without the quasi-emperor artifact, you are just an ant!"

A Saint King Realm expert gripped a long spear, his murderous intent fully revealed, and shot towards Qin Xuan.

Inside the imperial carriage, the Third Prince, breathing heavily, examined the ancient prison-suppressing tower in his hands. Then, with a single look, three guards acted simultaneously, easily intercepting that Loose Cultivator.

He looked at the small tower embedded with the prison-suppressing bead, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid, "It has a world inside, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. This item already shows signs of becoming an Emperor Weapon! This is a defective product; if repaired, it will be a true Emperor Weapon!"
