C1857
After he finished speaking, he slowly raised his palm and a majestic Genuine Essence gathered in his palm. A lion-shaped phantom vaguely appeared, and it gave off a strong wave.
When the others saw this, they didn't say anything. Their expressions were cold. Since this person wasn't willing to obey them, then if he died, then so be it. It had nothing to do with them.
"What happened?" At this moment, a refreshing voice sounded from afar.
Hearing this voice, the middle-aged scholar's hand stopped in mid-air and he looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a green-robed figure approaching through the air, as if he had stepped across space and arrived here in the blink of an eye.
"The Royal Territory?" The gazes of the people at the scene fell on the person coming over, and their expressions became incomparably strange. Emperor actually came in!
The middle-aged scholar glanced at that person and a hint of contempt appeared on his face. A mere Emperor actually dared to come here? Wasn't he afraid of their spiritual energy being plundered?
The moment Yan Qingyun saw that person appear, her beautiful eyes went blank, as though she didn't expect him to appear. A radiant smile blossomed in the depths of her eyes. With him around, she felt an indescribable sense of security.
The person who came was Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan was looking around for a place to cultivate when he sensed a lot of Qi. He rushed over to take a look and saw the scene in front of him. He was surprised to find that Yan Qingyun was also here.
"Excuse me, what happened?" Qin Xuan clasped his hands towards the crowd, his countenance extremely humble and humble.
There were too many people here, and there were quite a few Middle Rank of Monarch Stage s. They were much stronger than the people he met earlier, so he naturally did not dare to act rashly.
At this moment, even if he reported Donghuang Yu's identity, no one would believe him and they would even treat him as an idiot.
However, when they heard Qin Xuan's words, no one responded, as if they couldn't be bothered to respond.
Who would answer Emperor's question?
That would be a loss of self-worth.
Seeing that no one responded, Qin Xuan squinted his eyes. He could naturally see the contempt these people had for him.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the situation, one of them finally said, "There is a great fortune here, but there are killing intent everywhere, and many people have died inside. Only this person has survived. We asked him to lead the way, but he refused and insisted on seeking his fate."
"Is that so?" Qin Xuan's face revealed a hint of understanding. From this person's words, he had already roughly figured out the sequence of events. However, the truth should not be as the one described.
Presumably, the 'invitation' he spoke of was forcing him to use force.
These people wanted to use Yan Qingyun's hand to enter the cultivation ground and seize the opportunity within. Since Yan Qingyun was unwilling to listen to them, it was inevitable that she would use some methods.
When he had just arrived, he saw that someone was preparing to attack Yan Qingyun, probably because he had given up on this idea and wanted to take her life.
In an instant, many thoughts flashed past Qin Xuan's mind. A smile flashed past his eyes as he looked at the crowd and spoke, "The path of cultivation is so difficult. In this lifetime, how many people are unafraid of death?"
"Humph, if he had known about you, he would not have reached this stage!" Blue-robed youth said coldly. When he spoke, he even glared at Yan Qingyun, as if he was in a bad mood.
"If you don't mind, allow me to persuade this Fellow Daoist. Perhaps we can persuade him to lead the way." Qin Xuan spoke again with an extremely sincere expression, as if he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
"You?" Many people looked at Qin Xuan with some doubt in their eyes, as if they didn't quite believe what he said.
Even using both hard and soft methods was useless. How could this person have a way to persuade that fellow?
At this time, the middle-aged scholar looked at Qin Xuan meaningfully and said, "Are you sure?"
"I dare not say I am confident, but if I can persuade him, can you all agree to a request from me?" Qin Xuan said.
"Go ahead." The middle-aged scholar said.
"I want to follow everyone and enter that lucky chance. If there's a lucky chance, I want a copy." Qin Xuan spoke frankly. He was very direct and did not try to hide his thoughts.
"A mere Emperor level expert actually dares to set a condition for us?! How rare!" Many people laughed in a low voice. Was this person not afraid of them plundering his spiritual energy?
However, after hearing Qin Xuan's words, not only did the middle-aged scholar not get angry, but a faint smile appeared in his eyes. Originally, he had some doubts towards Qin Xuan, but now, those doubts were all gone.
He was definitely a person from a small force, hence, he understood the ways of the world. In a place like the Xia Wang Jie, where strong people were as common as clouds, it was difficult for him to survive if he did not know all these.
As a powerful cultivator, killing was only a thought. Unless it was someone they loved to kill, or someone they had a life or death feud with, as long as they were willing to lower their head and beg for mercy, they would feel a sense of superiority.
The reason why this person was able to live until now should be because of this move.
"I promise you, if you can convince him, then you'll have a share in the spoils of fortune." The middle-aged scholar looked at Qin Xuan with a warm smile.
"If you say so, then I will do my best!" Qin Xuan cupped his fist and said. He lowered his head slightly and a hint of craftiness flashed across his eyes.
He obviously did not believe the middle-aged scholar's words. If he really did find a lucky chance, then the other party would kick him out of the way. If he didn't kill him, then that would be fine.
However, he purposely showed weakness. Clearly, it was enough for the other party to think that he had everything under his control.
Qin Xuan turned around and looked at Yan Qingyun, clasping his fist, "You are Emperor Stage powerhouses. I should not have said much, but there are so many powerful people here, if you are unwilling to compromise, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to leave."
Yan Qingyun exchanged a glance with Qin Xuan. It was as if she knew what Qin Xuan was thinking. Her eyes were still cold as she said, "Even if I die, I won't let them take advantage of me!"
"That is to say, you do not trust them, and do not wish to lead the way?" Qin Xuan asked fakely.
"You think I can trust them?" Yan Qingyun retorted to Qin Xuan with a hint of coldness in her tone.
"If it were me, I would definitely not believe it either." Qin Xuan nodded and said frankly.
The moment Qin Xuan's voice sounded, the others' expressions immediately became sharp. What was this bastard talking about?
The middle-aged scholar's gaze immediately froze as he stared at Qin Xuan's figure, but he did not say anything. He thought that this person should not be so stupid.
"But do you believe me?" Qin Xuan suddenly looked into Yan Qingyun's eyes and asked with a serious expression.
Yan Qingyun looked at Qin Xuan's bright and deep eyes. She couldn't help but be a little absent-minded. However, after a moment of hesitation, she recovered her wits and said, "If it were you, I would believe you."
"Alright." Qin Xuan nodded and then looked at the middle-aged scholar. He clasped his hands and said, "I have an idea, and I don't know if you can accept it."
"Tell me about it." The middle-aged man's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity. He really wanted to know what this person was thinking.
If you force him to do so, then even if he dies, he will definitely not lead the way. I believe that is not the result that you all want to see, and I have one method that might be able to help you all find your destiny.
Qin Xuan said with a calm expression. He knew that what these people wanted the most was the opportunity within and not Yan Qingyun's life.
Thus, if there was a way to obtain this opportunity, they would definitely try their best to obtain it.
"What can he do?" Many of the surrounding people revealed a puzzled expression, unable to figure out what Qin Xuan was thinking.
"Go on." The middle-aged scholar said.
Qin Xuan looked at Yan Qingyun and then looked at the middle-aged scholar. He said, "Fellow cultivator, please bring me into the cave. Once we leave, everyone can let him go. I will lead everyone inside to find opportunities."
"You can't!" As soon as Qin Xuan finished his sentence, someone immediately objected.
Qin Xuan looked at the person and smiled, "Do you think I will take away this opportunity?"
The expression on the man's face stiffened. He was indeed worried earlier, but now that he thought about it, it seemed that he worried a little too much.
How could Emperor, a mere Emperor, possibly take away something that even the Emperor Realm figures couldn't take away?
The middle-aged scholar suddenly looked at Qin Xuan with a profound look in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Qin Xuan. He also had some doubts; did this person plan everything out from the beginning?2
If this person were to take this opportunity away, then they would become the biggest joke.
However, from Qin Xuan's looks, he did not seem to be someone with such shrewdness. Even if he had such thoughts, he did not have the strength to do so.
Moreover, they were standing guard outside. In other words, even if this person had obtained the good fortune, they would not be able to bring him away.
This method could not only protect that person, but also allow them to obtain the opportunity. Neither side would suffer a loss, and it could be said that they would gain two benefits at one go.
"If I bring you out and they don't let me go, I'll definitely kill you!" Yan Qingyun said coldly while looking at Qin Xuan.
"Of course. If they are not willing to let you go, I will accompany you in death." Qin Xuan nodded. He looked at the middle-aged scholar and said, "I don't think everyone would do such a thing."
"As long as she is willing to lead the way, we will naturally not kill her. It's just that you must remember the way in and out, don't forget it wrong." The middle-aged scholar purposefully warned. He wasn't worried that Qin Xuan would cheat, but was instead worried that Yan Qingyun would secretly do something to him.
If Qin Xuan led them astray, they would all be buried within.
When he said those words, he didn't avoid Yan Qingyun, but there was a hint of warning in his words, telling her not to think too badly.
"I understand." Qin Xuan nodded seriously and said in a low voice, "I am someone who values my life dearly. Moreover, I have found a lucky chance, so how could I not take it seriously?"
"It's good that you understand!" The middle-aged scholar laughed. He really wasn't mistaken. Even now, this person was still thinking about fate!
