Chapter 194: Killing and Arson Lead to a Golden Belt

"Leng Li, you actually haven't died yet!"

"You deliberately exposed a flaw just to make us think we had escaped and could counterattack against you!"

"Qin Xuan, your thoughts are vicious, and your heart deserves execution! Even in death, we will never let you go..."

The two Saint King Realm experts roared in uncontrollable rage.

With a look of disgust, Leng Li raised her hand, and ice crystals, like a rain of pear blossoms, shot out explosively.

They shattered the bodies and Divine Souls of the two Saint King Realm experts into sieves.

They were dead beyond a doubt.

They swallowed their last breath with eyes wide open in disbelief!

Gulp!

The Third Prince slumped to the ground. Watching the last two Saint King Realm guards die tragically before him, his last bit of confidence crumbled away.

He was terrified, experiencing fear from a lowly commoner for the first time in his life.

"Qin Xuan, you cannot kill me. I am the Third Prince of the Ziyang Imperial Family. If I die, the Ziyang Imperial Family will scour the Yellow Springs to ensure you never escape!"

"Even if they have to slaughter everyone who entered the Land of Fallen Emperors, they will not let this matter rest."

The Third Prince roared loudly, trying to embolden himself.

Leng Li turned her head to look at Qin Xuan, her red eyes filled with apprehension as she said, "What he said is indeed the truth. The Ziyang Imperial Family will never stand idly by and let the death of a prince go unavenged."

"Slaughtering everyone suspected is indeed something the Ziyang Imperial Family would do."

She understood the ruthlessness of the Ziyang Imperial Family better than anyone.

Back then, when she helped Mu Qingxue solve the trouble with that aristocratic family, she inadvertently killed someone from the Imperial Family.

To this day, she is still on the Ziyang Imperial Family's wanted list.

She has been hunted for countless years.

Killing an insignificant member of the Imperial Family was already a grave crime.

Let alone a prince who could inherit the throne!?

Before being granted a surname and a title, the Third Prince was the face and representative of the Ziyang Imperial Family.

If he were to die, it would inevitably provoke the thunderous rage of the Imperial Family!

"If you kill me, you are on a path to death; if you let me go, you are equally doomed." Leng Li's words gave the Third Prince confidence again, and he said angrily, "If you are willing to become my slave and let me plant a mark in your Divine Soul, I can take full responsibility for the deaths of the seven Saint Kings."

Even at this point, the Third Prince was still thinking about subjugating Qin Xuan.

He even felt that Qin Xuan's future was far beyond what the seven Saint King Realm experts could compare to.

Qin Xuan laughed, shook his head, and sighed, "I don't know whether to call you an idiot or a greenhorn. I let you experience endless despair, and yet, even now, you are still thinking about recruiting me for your own use?"

He stepped forward and gave the heavenly desolation halberd a shake.

Pfft!

An arm flew into the sky, and a mist of blood sprayed out.

The Third Prince felt the pain and roared, "Qin Xuan, you are courting death!"

Boom—with a dull thud, the Third Prince's three legs exploded into a mist of blood upon impact.

Amidst his roaring, his other arm was also ground into powder.

Qin Xuan thrust the heavenly desolation halberd into the Third Prince's throat and rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Playing mind games with you is simply a waste of energy. Dealing with trash like you, physical torture is the simplest form of violence."

With a thought, the bloodthirsty, low-level Yao Beasts within a hundred miles all smelled the scent of blood and came rushing over.

The Third Prince, who had been reduced to a human stick, looked at the Yao Beasts whose eyes were glowing with bloodlust and drooling greedily. The physical pain and psychological torture erupted at once, and he begged, "Qin Xuan, let me go."

"As long as you don't kill me, I will give you endless wealth and glory."

"I can make you someone who stands above ten thousand, second only to one."

"Qin Xuan, ahhhhh!!!"

The Yao Beasts swarmed up.

At the wounds where the Third Prince's massive blood energy was writhing, every time new flesh grew, it would be bitten off and swallowed by the Yao Beasts.

This was slaughter, ultimate torture.

While the Third Prince shrieked and wailed, Qin Xuan leisurely began to count his spoils.

"These Immortal Stones, I return them to you in full; finish refining the Soul Transfer Formation as soon as possible."

Qin Xuan returned all the Immortal Stones used to restrain the seven Saint King Realm experts to Leng Li.

Then, he crushed the Third Prince's Storage Ring.

A dazzling array of treasures fell to the ground.

"These are high-quality Breakthrough Pills! There are pills for everything from the Supernatural Realm to the Quasi-Saint Realm, and the side effects are minimal. I'm afraid this is the capital the Third Prince used to win people over!"

Looking at the countless Breakthrough Pills, Leng Li's red eyes were filled with astonishment, "There must be an Alchemist at the Quasi-Emperor Realm within the Ziyang Imperial Family! They only provide Medicinal Pills to the Imperial Family and are supporters of the Third Prince!"

The two Holy Lands, Butian and Yaochi, each have an Alchemist at the Saint King Realm.

Only the Ziyang Imperial Family has never revealed one.

Yet, the true experts of the Ziyang Imperial Family have always emerged in endless succession, and even their core strength is far ahead.

There must be a powerful Alchemist presiding over them.

It's just that they remain hidden from the world, serving only the Imperial Family!

"These Medicinal Pills are enough to pile up dozens of people into the Quasi-Saint Realm!"

"It's just a pity that more Heaven-Defying Medicinal Pills are extremely rare; even a guy like the Third Prince can hardly carry them around."

Leng Li shook her head regretfully.

Although these Medicinal Pills were potent, they were of no use to her.

Qin Xuan collected them one by one with satisfaction.

He had no use for these pills.

But the Daughters of Luck like Qing Ning, Mu Qingxue, and Luo Xinyi could use them.

The cultivation levels of these Daughters of Luck had now been left a tier behind by him.

Waiting for them to break through on their own was too much of a waste of time.

They could just take the Breakthrough Pills directly.

As for the side effects?

The side effects were nothing more than making future Breakthroughs more difficult, but for Daughters of Luck who found Opportunities everywhere.

Was difficulty in breaking through even a problem?

"The nihe pill, this thing is useless; it's provided exclusively to the Imperial Family, and only the Imperial Bloodline can adapt to it."

"There are quite a few Sacred Artifacts, a full twelve of them: one High Grade Sacred Artifact, five Medium Grade Sacred Artifacts, and six Low Grade Sacred Artifacts, not to mention hundreds of Treasure Artifacts."

Qin Xuan was rummaging through the assets of the Third Prince and the seven Saint King Realm experts, shaking his head in boredom.

These Sacred Artifacts were of little effect to him.

And there was no way to use them in public.

Once someone saw their origin, wouldn't that prove that the Third Prince was killed by him?

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Just then, the heavenly desolation halberd in Qin Xuan's hand began to hum, and a strong urge was stirring within it.

"It wants to devour these Sacred Artifacts!?"

Qin Xuan turned back, met Leng Li's eyes, and asked curiously, "Can this thing also be upgraded?"

Leng Li nodded, "Sacred Artifacts are all in harmony with the power of heaven and earth; some govern thunder, some govern slaughter. When this heavenly desolation halberd first appeared in the hands of Halberd Saint Ming Yue, it was only a Medium Grade Sacred Artifact. By the time Halberd Saint Ming Yue became famous, it was already a Top Grade Sacred Artifact. It seems it can devour Sacred Artifacts to advance."

"There's such a good thing?"

Qin Xuan decisively threw the Sacred Artifacts one by one to the heavenly desolation halberd.

Anyway, these things were hard to use and easily attracted trouble.

It was better to throw them all to the heavenly desolation halberd to help dispose of the stolen goods.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The heavenly desolation halberd shuddered violently. When the Sacred Artifacts approached, it refused none of them. A black-gold radiance pulled the Sacred Artifacts one by one, merging them into the body of the halberd.

Visibly, the patterns on the body of the heavenly desolation halberd became increasingly complex and obscure.

Its weight also doubled.

For two full days and nights, the heavenly desolation halberd devoured all twelve Sacred Artifacts.

On this day, strange phenomena appeared in the sky, and thunder cracked.

A world-destroying Lightning Tribulation wanted to destroy the heavenly desolation halberd.

Amidst the sky full of thunder, the heavenly desolation halberd lived towards death and was reborn in fire.

When the sky-filling Lightning Tribulation receded, the heavenly desolation halberd returned to Qin Xuan's hand.

The aura it erupted with was actually on par with the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

It had advanced to a quasi-emperor artifact!
