Chapter 253: Catching a Big Fish

"Alchemist Emperor!"

"Old thing, you're actually still alive!"

"Daring to intrude upon the territory of our Mingyue Dynasty, you are courting death!"

Seeing the arrival, General Gu You's Divine Soul shook violently.

Within the confined space, the sky was filled with blood mist. Ning Waner's sword had gone berserk.

It was relentlessly shredding the body of the Mistress of Wangqing Palace, grinding the Gu insects capable of flesh regeneration into dust, over and over again.

"So strong!"

"This is a powerhouse at the Late Stage of the Quasi-Emperor Realm. He is the Alchemist Emperor behind the Third Prince who refined countless Medicinal Pills!"

"Only such a pill cultivator could refine such a massive quantity of Medicinal Pills and develop a miraculous pill like the nihe pill!"

Inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, Leng Li's eyes filled with shock upon seeing the arrival.

Qin Xuan asked in surprise, "Stronger than you, who obtained the Legacy of the Nether River Blood Scripture?"

Leng Li did not hide anything and said bluntly, "If I use the ancient prison-suppressing tower, I might barely be able to match him! It would be difficult to eradicate him!"

"At his Realm, he has already touched the threshold of the Emperor Realm. Especially a Quasi-Emperor of the pill path like him, I fear there is only one such person in the vast Hongmeng Continent!"

"His trump cards far exceed the imagination of ordinary people."

Seeing the arrival, Luo Xianxian clutched her forehead, a bitter smile on her Face. She turned to look at Qin Xuan and said speechlessly, "I told you to stop wasting time. Now it's over. Even an old monster like the Alchemist Emperor has appeared. Even I cannot protect you anymore!"

"His trip here is solely to kill you!"

"He won't even give me Face!"

"However, if you are willing to hand over the members of Hidden Kill to me, I might be able to get him to leave your corpse intact!"

Qin Xuan looked at Luo Xianxian in surprise and asked suspiciously, "You know this person? You know his identity?"

Luo Xianxian said without any hesitation, "The Alchemist Emperor, tens of thousands of years ago, co-founded the Butian Holy Land with the Holy Master of Butian whom you killed! The Butian Holy Land had two Quasi-Emperors. The other one is the Alchemist Emperor before you!"

"A long time ago, there were rumors that the Alchemist Emperor passed away in the Land of Fallen Emperors. In reality, he had entered the Ziyang Imperial Family because by that time, he had already become an Alchemist Emperor, the only one in the Ziyang Empire and the Mingyue Dynasty!"

"He is the Third Prince's uncle, and also the most powerful trump card behind the Third Prince, capable of contending with Crown Prince Ziyang."

"It is no exaggeration to say that if the Third Prince of the Ziyang Imperial Family had not died by your hands, with the support of the Alchemist Emperor, he might have had a chance to glimpse the position of the Great Emperor."

"And because of you, the Third Prince died miserably in the Land of Fallen Emperors, his remains still unfound, and the Alchemist Emperor also lost the opportunity to ascend to the center of power!"

"First, you killed the Third Prince whom he had cultivated for countless years, and then you destroyed the Butian Holy Land that he co-founded with the Holy Master of Butian!"

"Now that he has crossed boundaries to come here, no one can stop him from killing you anymore!"

The tense situation was about to explode.

But Qin Xuan acted as if nothing had happened, completely unconcerned. Instead, he teased Luo Xianxian, "Didn't you just say you could get him to leave my corpse intact? I observed you appearing at the Miaoyin Pavilion first, and now you are intervening to rescue the members of Hidden Kill. Presumably, there is something you want on Scarlet Thorn, right?"

"I am familiar with her. As long as you can make this old dog scram and not touch me, I will ensure you get what you want."

Luo Xianxian frowned, struggling for a moment. She slowly stepped forward, head held high, and looked at the Alchemist Emperor, "Senior, this Junior has an impertinent request. Could Senior temporarily spare Qin Xuan's life and sell me some Face?"

The Alchemist Emperor narrowed his eyes, seemingly seeing through Luo Xianxian's true appearance. He snorted coldly, "Today, even if your father were here, this old man would not sell this Face!"

Bang!

In the confined space, the Mistress of Wangqing Palace, who looked exactly like the Dowager Concubine, wailed as her entire body exploded into countless rotting Gu insects.

With the brilliant sword light, countless Gu insect corpses were shredded into green smoke.

Ning Waner coughed up blood, one of her arms already crippled.

Supported by General Gu You, she stood in front of the Alchemist Emperor, her expression solemn as she said, "Alchemist Emperor! This is the Imperial City of the Mingyue Dynasty!"

"You came uninvited, you have crossed the line!"

"Taking action to suppress and kill the confidants of Her Majesty the Empress is a capital offense!"

"Qin Xuan is the Ming King's Master appointed by Her Majesty, the future Imperial Master. If you dare to touch him, even if you go to the Yellow Springs, Her Majesty the Empress will not let you go!"

The Alchemist Emperor looked coldly into the distance, seemingly piercing through the barrier to see Empress Mingyue hidden in the inner court of the imperial palace.

He spoke loudly, not only informing Ning Waner and the others but also informing Empress Mingyue.

"Qin Xuan killed the Third Prince, causing the royal Bloodline, causing my nephew to die miserably in the Land of Fallen Emperors. This is an irreconcilable feud!"

"The Butian Holy Land was my painstaking effort, and it was also destroyed by Qin Xuan's hands!"

"He killed my kin and destroyed my ten-thousand-year foundation."

"With this grudge and hatred, if I do not kill Qin Xuan, I would rather die!"

Ning Waner and General Gu You exchanged glances. Taking advantage of the Alchemist Emperor's distraction, they attacked from both sides with lightning speed.

The Alchemist Emperor's gaze flickered. It was as if in his eyes, the extreme speed of Ning Waner and General Gu You had slowed down dozens of times, appearing so immature.

He raised his hand and struck out two palms across the air.

Ning Waner and General Gu You were severely injured and crashed into the ground together.

He did not kill them, but headed straight for the Mingyue Dynasty.

He always felt that a gaze was watching him.

Previously suppressing and killing a Quasi-Emperor had already made this gaze increasingly intense.

He was afraid that if he killed Ning Waner and General Gu You again, he would anger Empress Mingyue.

Even if she is currently trapped, he could not guarantee that Empress Mingyue had no means to keep him here!

His goal, from beginning to end, was only Qin Xuan.

"It's over!"

Luo Xianxian clutched her forehead.

She truly did not expect that the Alchemist Emperor's desire to kill Qin Xuan would be this intense.

Even her revealing her identity as a member of the Celestial God Clan could not mediate!

"It seems you don't have the ability to save my life from this old dog's hands."

Qin Xuan looked at Luo Xianxian with great interest, like a creepy uncle coaxing a little girl, and said playfully, "How about we make a bet!"

"If I am killed by the Alchemist Emperor, the members of Hidden Kill will be unharmed, and I will hand them all over to you."

Luo Xianxian nodded without thinking, "Okay!"

Qin Xuan smiled and said, "Aren't you going to listen to the rest of the bet?"

Luo Xianxian shook her head.

In her view, Qin Xuan was definitely going to die.

If Empress Mingyue were going to intervene, she would have already saved him.

It was impossible for her to take the risk to kill an Alchemist Emperor for Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan continued with a slight smirk, "If I kill the Alchemist Emperor, you must become my maid, serving me at my residence at all times, on call whenever I need you!"

"Pervert!"

Luo Xianxian cursed him several times in her heart and snorted coldly, "At death's door, and still having lecherous thoughts!"

"So what if I bet with you?"

"Let alone killing the Alchemist Emperor, if you can even escape, I'll count it as my loss!"

Seeing Luo Xianxian's firm gaze, Qin Xuan nodded with satisfaction, "This is what you said, it's a deal!"

If it were anyone else, he wouldn't have bothered with any nonsense.

But Luo Xianxian, this Daughter of Luck, was different. From beginning to end, she had always thought about using the Righteous Path to obtain what she wanted.

She hadn't even entertained the thought of snatching Scarlet Thorn.

In the Myriad Insect Formation, she even repeatedly proposed exchange requests without a single evil thought arising.

This Luo Xianxian, she is so righteous it's eerie!

He didn't fear she wouldn't keep her promise!

Inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, Leng Li frowned and said, "I am not the Alchemist Emperor's opponent. Even with an Emperor Weapon, I cannot kill him!"

Qin Xuan shook his head with amusement, "Why would you need to step forward?"

"You take yourself too seriously."

"When the Mistress of Wangqing Palace was causing trouble, I already felt something was wrong. Now that the Alchemist Emperor has appeared, it confirms my thoughts."

"All of this is Empress Mingyue fishing. It's not that she cannot intervene, but she cannot let others know that she can intervene!"

"In Empress Mingyue's eyes, she doesn't know that I still have Quasi-Emperor combat power, yet she insisted on having me join the team to shred the Wangqing Palace. What is this for?"

"Isn't it just to use my hands so that others will think that this suppression was my doing?"

Especially with his mastery of the Nine Revolutions Saint Soul Technique at Perfection, Qin Xuan's perception of soul bodies was different from ordinary people.

When that Quasi-Emperor fell earlier, his soul body disappeared at an eerie speed.

Besides Empress Mingyue, who else could do it?

It was nothing more than using his name to solve the trouble before her, to 'confirm' the rumors that her position as Empress Mingyue was in jeopardy.

The naked scent of a conspiracy!

Being in the midst of it, Qin Xuan felt a chill down his spine just by sniffing it.

Empress Mingyue is fishing, catching a big fish!

She is clearing away the deep-seated ailments of the Mingyue Dynasty for Zhou Chen's future!

With Empress Mingyue as his backing, Qin Xuan, fearless, soared into the air, holding the ancient prison-suppressing tower, and shouted towards the Alchemist Emperor, "Old dog Mo, if Grandpa calls you, do you dare to answer!?"

"Thief!" The Alchemist Emperor snorted coldly.

In his eyes, Qin Xuan was just a stinking bug.

Let alone that eerie energy, Qin Xuan might not be able to mobilize it again.

Even if Qin Xuan could still burst out with the eerie energy that killed a Quasi-Emperor, he had full confidence that he could suppress Qin Xuan before his eyes within three moves.

However, before he could make a move, the moment his words fell.

A strange energy rapidly wrapped around his entire body!!
