Chapter 1017 Xuanyuan Qingling

Tianhen Star Domain, by the Heartless Lake.

As Xu Nian finished setting up the Transmission Array, Xie Haixing, Wang Yuhuan, and the Ouyang siblings all came over to watch.

"Buzz!"

The Transmission Array activated, and two figures appeared in everyone’s sight.

Two people emerged from the Transmission Array Sect, none other than Xuanyuan Qingling and Wu Gang.

Xie Haixing and Wang Yuhuan and the others were all taken aback.

They were surprised not by the two people’s strength, but by Xuanyuan Qingling’s beauty and poise.

"So beautiful!" Xie Haixing couldn’t help but exclaim.

Even the most beautiful woman of Green Cold Star couldn’t compare to this woman before them by a long shot.

"Let me introduce, this is our Heavenly Court Gang’s Vice Gang Leader and strategist. Should you need anything in the future, feel free to approach them. Qingling, these are the talents I’ve recently recruited; they’re the most outstanding geniuses on this planet." Xu Nian introduced with a smile.

Xuanyuan Qingling immediately smiled, and Xie Haixing and the others greeted her.

Xie Haixing and the others displayed a look of being overwhelmed by favor.

Xu Nian found it amusing. Indeed, beautiful people are welcomed everywhere they go.

The few of them then sat down together for a chat.

When Xuanyuan Qingling heard about Xu Nian publicly challenging the Tiancang Sect, her brows furrowed tightly.

"Are you planning to make a move now? Won’t you wait a little longer?" Xuanyuan Qingling asked.

Having been with Xu Nian for some time, she knew a bit about Xu Nian’s grievances with the Four Great Sects.

She also knew that Xu Nian would confront the Four Great Sects sooner or later, but she hadn’t expected him to do so so soon.

"No more waiting. There’s no point in it. It’s time to let them know there’s someone like me, Xu Nian, as an enemy. Of course, for now, I’ll only tackle the younger generation. When it comes to the elders, if I can’t beat them, I’ll run." Xu Nian said with a smile.

Hearing these words, Xuanyuan Qingling also showed a relieved smile.

In her heart, she had already decided that no matter what kind of danger Xu Nian faced, she would choose to stand with Xu Nian.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

At that moment, three sounds of something piercing through the air came from afar.

Those appearing weren’t others but Shao Chengfeng who had left and two members of the Tiancang Sect.

Xu Nian hadn’t expected that one of the two from the Tiancang Sect was an old acquaintance.

Chen Linfeng?

The guy who appeared with Murong Xue on Tianlan Star that day.

As for the other person, Xu Nian didn’t recognize them.

However, Xu Nian could feel that the person’s cultivation was significant, already reaching the Earth Immortal Realm.

Chen Linfeng was also taken aback.

He had long heard the name Xu Nian but didn’t believe this Xu Nian was the one he had encountered before.

But now, seeing Xu Nian’s appearance, he realized he was wrong.

The Xu Nian before him was indeed the one he had fought with.

"This guy’s cultivation speed is incredibly fast, already reaching the Middle Stage of Tribulation Crossing." Chen Linfeng remarked incredulously.

"You know him?" Liu Changtian asked, looking at Chen Linfeng.

"He’s the one I told you about, closely related to Murong Xue." Chen Linfeng replied.

"Oh?" Liu Changtian showed a hint of surprise, evaluating Xu Nian once again.

However, he quickly displayed a look of disdain and turned his gaze to Xuanyuan Qingling.

"What a beautiful woman, such a sharp demeanor." Liu Changtian’s eyes lit up, feeling a sense of attraction.

"I must have this woman; she’s a true work of art." Liu Changtian thought to himself.

Xuanyuan Qingling also sensed Liu Changtian’s invasive gaze, frowning slightly.

She couldn’t help but glance at Xu Nian beside her, seeing his eyes narrowing.

She knew that this guy had already developed a killing intent.

Xie Haixing and the Ouyang siblings beside her showed expressions of surprise, not expecting the people from the Tiancang Sect to arrive so quickly.

They were even more surprised that among the geniuses of Tiancang Sect, there was even one person who reached the Early Stage of Earth Immortal Realm.

In that case, is Xu Nian still a match for them?

"I wondered why I couldn’t find you in Anhe City, but it turns out you were hiding here. What, talked big and then ran away?" Shao Chengfeng sneered.

Xu Nian sneered back, completely ignoring Shao Chengfeng.

Looking around, a lot of sounds cutting through the air came from afar.

Clearly, Shao Chengfeng had gone to Anhe City, attracting many onlookers here.

These people were all here to watch the show.

So they didn’t approach, all staying a hundred miles away.

Xu Nian couldn’t be bothered with these people and instead looked at Chen Linfeng and said, "Chen Linfeng, surprise meeting you again. I wonder if Xue’er came with you this time?"

"What gives you the right to call her Xue’er?" Chen Linfeng immediately shouted.

His eyes were filled with intense disdain.

Wu Gang and the others instantly showed cold expressions.

This guy dared to disrespect their Gang Leader.

So what if it was the Tiancang Sect, their Gang Leader was also from the Denor Empire.

In terms of power, they weren’t any weaker than the Tiancang Sect.

Xu Nian coldly laughed and continued asking, "Chen Linfeng, I’ll give you a choice. Tell me where Murong Xue is, and I might consider sparing your life."

"You’re asking for death!" Chen Linfeng immediately erupted in fury.

He was about to make a move.

This guy dared to look down on him.

He was, after all, at the Peak of the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

In terms of combat power, he wasn’t weaker than a typical Early Stage Earth Immortal who had crossed the Heavenly Tribulation.

This guy was just at the Middle Stage of Tribulation Crossing; what right did he have to say such things?

However, before he could act, Liu Changtian stopped him.

Seeing Xu Nian, he said with a smile, "Your name is Xu Nian, right? How about this, I propose a gamble—a match between us. If I lose, I’ll tell you Murong Xue’s whereabouts. However, if you lose..."

"What do you want?" Xu Nian asked with a cold smile.

"I want the woman beside you to be my concubine." Liu Changtian pointed to Xuanyuan Qingling.

Xuanyuan Qingling’s brow furrowed immediately.

"I cannot agree to that." Xu Nian responded bluntly.

"Oh? Why not?" Liu Changtian asked puzzledly.

"Because she is not mine to decide, I cannot make decisions for her." Xu Nian answered bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Changtian smiled, then turned his gaze back to Xuanyuan Qingling.

"I’ll agree on his behalf!" Xuanyuan Qingling said straightforwardly.

All around them, people showed expressions of surprise upon hearing this.

Liu Changtian also appeared taken aback.

He turned to look at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian wasn’t surprised; he knew Xuanyuan Qingling would agree.

"I still don’t agree." Xu Nian shook his head.

"Why? Do you think you’ll lose?" Xuanyuan Qingling asked in confusion.

Liu Changtian smiled lightly, also looking at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian sneered and confidently said, "I will definitely not lose. In my view, such a wager is completely unnecessary. I can force them to tell me Xue’er’s whereabouts."

With these words, silence fell all around.

Such domineering words.

Such a confident person!

Xuanyuan Qingling was taken aback as well. Perhaps this was the real Xu Nian.
