Chapter 421: The Death of Huang Yuan

"Master, Mister Huang Yuan, he..."

Seeing that the body of Mister Huang Yuan remained in place while only his Soul had entered the compass, Heavenly God Lin Yuan asked with curiosity, "Can we accompany Mister Huang Yuan into the compass to view the future prospects of Qin Xuan?"

The Sect Master of Heaven Sect let out a cold snort. "Even for your Master, the backlash from prying into the Heavenly Dao is difficult to endure. You are merely in the Heavenly God Realm, yet you dare to harbor such delusions?"

"Once you provoke the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, even your Master will be unable to save you!"

Heavenly God Lin Yuan felt somewhat unwilling.

He had hoped to pry into the future of Qin Xuan to see if he could find a weakness, and subsequently kill him in one fell swoop.

However, given his Master's words, he dared not dwell on it further.

He merely asked with a worried expression, "Will Mister Huang Yuan be affected?"

The Sect Master of Heaven Sect shook his head, his eyes displaying the calm composure of someone who held all the answers. "Mister Huang Yuan is the Imperial Astronomer appointed by the Human Emperor; his true form is a deep abyss in the Ghost Valley, a sliver of consciousness born from being stained by the blood of countless experts."

"As long as Mister Huang Yuan is willing, he can use the blood of these experts to die in his stead at any time and any place."

"What I said earlier was merely to express my respect for Mister Huang Yuan."

"As long as Mister Huang Yuan is willing to act, there is no future on the entire Hongmeng Continent that he cannot pry into."

It must be known that Mister Huang Yuan is a being capable of prying into the Human Emperor.

Setting aside that Qin Xuan is not the Reincarnation of the Human Emperor, even if he were, Mister Huang Yuan would have nothing to fear.

If he can even pry into the Human Emperor himself, let alone a Reincarnation that has not yet fully matured?

Less than ten breaths after Huang Yuan entered the compass, with a puff, the body of Huang Yuan that remained in this space suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Immediately after, Huang Yuan opened his eyes, terror filling his gaze.

This expression was something the Sect Master of Heaven Sect had never seen, not even when he first encountered the down-and-out Huang Yuan all those years ago!

"Qin Xuan, he... he is..."

Huang Yuan opened his eyes and stared fixedly at the Sect Master of Heaven Sect; he wanted to blurt it out, but the words stuck in his throat.

With every word he spoke, his body shattered a little more. After a few words escaped his lips, Huang Yuan's body exploded and scattered like a mist of blood.

With a loud bang, even the Sect Master of Heaven Sect could not react in time and was sent flying backward by the explosion.

"How could this happen?"

"What kind of background does Qin Xuan actually have?"

"How could even Mister Huang Yuan be backlashed to death?"

The Sect Master of Heaven Sect felt his scalp tingle, his back soaked in cold sweat. He was not an indecisive man; after throwing Heavenly God Lin Yuan aside, he lunged straight toward Huang Yuan's compass.

That compass was bestowed by the Human Emperor and forged by his own hand; it was an existence comparable to a Supreme weapon. Even within the Heaven Sect, it was a rare and precious treasure.

However, when the Sect Master of Heaven Sect grasped the compass, this compass forged by the Human Emperor's own hand cracked at a visible speed in his grasp, and then crumbled into dust.

Rumble— With the fall of Huang Yuan, this vast expanse of starry space began to collapse rapidly. The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion crumbled into dust in less than three breaths.

"Master, Mister Huang Yuan, he exploded!"

Standing in the Secret Realm where the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion no longer existed, Heavenly God Lin Yuan stared at the ruins before him, dumbstruck.

A being as ancient as Huang Yuan had actually been blasted into a mist of blood right before his eyes.

The Sect Master of Heaven Sect swallowed hard, the thought terrifying him, and looked at Heavenly God Lin Yuan. "For the next ten thousand years, you are to stay in the Heaven Sect and go into seclusion. Do not go anywhere, do not provoke anyone, and regarding the existence of Qin Xuan, you are not to reveal a single word to the outside world!"

Let alone Heavenly God Lin Yuan, even he had never imagined such an outcome.

Huang Yuan, who had pried into the future of Qin Xuan, had actually died from the backlash.

Even the compass forged by the Human Emperor had shattered in his hands.

What kind of background did this Qin Xuan have? The backlash could actually affect the Human Emperor?!

If he had listened to the suggestion of Heavenly God Lin Yuan earlier and entered the compass with Huang Yuan, would he have any path to survival right now?

Having lived for millions of years, he had nearly capsized in the gutter this time. How could he not be terrified?

Heavenly God Lin Yuan said unwillingly, "Master, the enmity between Qin Xuan and me is likely impossible to resolve. If that Qin Xuan comes looking for your disciple, what should be done?"

The Sect Master of Heaven Sect's gaze toward Heavenly God Lin Yuan shifted repeatedly, but in the end, he could not bring himself to act. He merely shook his head and said, "Qin Xuan has not yet fully matured; your Master has his own methods to resolve your grievances with him!"

—

On the other side, in front of Qin Xuan, Young Master Long Xiao of the Dragon Clan had already transformed into a little fanboy.

He looked at him with worship. "Uncle-in-law, your combat power is simply too Heaven-Defying!"

"That Heavenly God Lin Yuan is in the lower Heavenly God Realm; even three Heavenly Gods of my Dragon Clan combined are not his match, yet you were able to suppress him single-handedly. Your cultivation at the God Realm is just too monstrous!?"

In the past, Young Master Long Xiao only treated the imperial ranking as a goal to strive for. He regarded the ranking on the imperial ranking as more important than his own life.

But ever since he got to know his uncle-in-law, why would he ever spare another glance at the imperial ranking?

Let alone the leader of the imperial ranking, Chu Yun, what about Heavenly God Lin Yuan, who broke through to the Heavenly God Realm within a hundred years? In front of his uncle-in-law, he was only fit to be beaten!

Prodigy? Another Prodigy? They are merely the threshold to meet his uncle-in-law!

Long Lingyin said angrily, "Young Master Long Xiao, when did he become your uncle-in-law? Stop calling him that randomly; earlier, it was just a strategy to provoke Heavenly God Lin Yuan!"

She admitted that the talent of Qin Xuan indeed far surpassed that of Heavenly God Lin Yuan. Even his peerlessly handsome appearance made her feel a sense of affection the very first moment she saw him.

Regardless of which aspect one considered, Qin Xuan was qualified to become the Dao Companion of her, Long Lingyin.

However, no matter how outstanding Qin Xuan was, he was still a man. And she, Long Lingyin, being a noble daughter of the Dragon Clan, how could she submit herself to him just because of a single word from Qin Xuan?

If Qin Xuan were willing to pursue her and lower his posture before her, perhaps she, Long Lingyin, could consider whether to accept his pursuit!

"What is this? Long Lingyin, are you now trying to wipe your mouth clean and deny everything?"

Qin Xuan stepped forward with a playful expression, reached out to pinch the delicate chin of Long Lingyin, and said with a cold laugh, "Now that I have solved the trouble of Heavenly God Lin Yuan for your Dragon Clan, you think I am useless and intend to kick me aside?"

Long Lingyin angrily pried open the palm of Qin Xuan and scolded him delicately, "Qin Xuan, who do you think I am? A casual remark can decide my belonging; do you take me for an object?"

The Heavenly God of the Dragon Clan on the side saw this and quickly spoke up, "Long Lingyin, what kind of trouble are you causing again?"

"Young Master Qin has a good impression of you; just admit it, why are you being so coy?"

The experts of the Dragon Clan felt a headache coming on when they saw this attitude of Long Lingyin.

Offending one Heavenly God Lin Yuan had already left their Dragon Clan in a state of distress. Now, Long Lingyin was intending to create conflict with Qin Xuan again. Are you playing games?

Qin Xuan beat Heavenly God Lin Yuan like a child. If Qin Xuan were to hunt down their Dragon Clan just like Heavenly God Lin Yuan, where would their Dragon Clan find a path to survival?

Young Master Long Xiao said even more angrily, "Aunt, this is you being ungrateful for the honor given to you!"

"It is not enough that you brought such a great enemy as Heavenly God Lin Yuan upon our Dragon Clan."

"Now, are you planning to push my uncle-in-law to the opposite side of our Dragon Clan?"

"Have you ever thought about our Dragon Clan?"
