The third floor of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
Ji Hengchuan is sitting in the main seat, a beautiful woman behind him giving a massage.
In front of him stands Xingâer, who was responsible for receiving guests earlier.
"Young master, someone previously inquired about Murong Xueâs information. That person is named Xu Nian, and he comes from the same Mortal World as Murong Xue. He seems to be a registered disciple of the Shendang Mountain Taichu Immortal Emperor," said Xingâer.
"A registered disciple? Could it be that vile woman Murong Xue rejected me because of him?" Ji Hengchuan clenched his fist, his eyes full of killing intent.
"According to our investigation, it seems so. Itâs said that they developed feelings for each other when they were in the Mortal World," said Xingâer.
"A mere registered disciple dares to compete with me for a woman? Heâs tired of living. As for that vile woman Murong Xue, send people to capture her and throw her to the outside Immortal Thieves gang. I want him to suffer worse than death," Ji Hengchuan said angrily.
"Yes, young master!" Xingâer replied.
The next moment, she was about to leave.
"Swoosh!"
However, at that moment, a figure appeared in an instant.
"Itâs you!"
Xingâer was shocked when she saw Xu Nian.
"Who is he?" Ji Hengchuan looked at Xu Nian and asked.
"Young master, he is Xu Nian, the one related to Murong Xue and a registered disciple of the Shendang Mountain," said Xingâer.
"So itâs him. I havenât come looking for you, yet you came yourself. Come, cripple him," Ji Hengchuan ordered immediately.
The next moment, a mid-stage Immortal King expert charged directly at Xu Nian.
Seeing the attacking Immortal King, a trace of killing intent flashed in Xu Nianâs eyes.
He then formed his fingers into a sword and pointed it out.
In an instant, the Immortal Kingâs abdomen was pierced by Xu Nianâs Sword Qi, turning to ashes.
"Huh?" Ji Hengchuan and Xingâer both turned pale.
"Ji Hengchuan, today Iâve come to take your pitiful life," Xu Nian said coldly, his voice like a judgment from King Yan.
Xu Nian stepped towards Ji Hengchuan steadily.
"Seeking death! Attack!" Ji Hengchuan shouted, immediately ordering.
The next moment, nine Immortal Kings rushed towards Xu Nian simultaneously.
Among them, there was even an expert at the Immortal King Peak Level.
Xu Nian let out a cold laugh and condensed a Law Sword in his hand.
He slashed out with one sword.
"Ah!"
All nine Immortal Kings let out miserable cries, ultimately all being cut in half by Xu Nian in one sword slash.
Even their Immortal Embryos were split in two.
"No... impossible!" Ji Hengchuan was shocked.
He never thought that nine Immortal Kings couldnât stop this Xu Nian in front of him.
Xingâer was also terribly frightened.
"Are you an Immortal Sovereign?" Ji Hengchuan asked in shock.
"Impossible, you definitely arenât an Immortal Sovereign. The aura on you, could it be... Divine Power Liquid?" Ji Hengchuan asked in shock.
He had seen Divine Power Liquid before.
Though it wasnât him using it, it was his father.
At this moment, the aura on Xu Nian was exactly the same as the Divine Power Liquid his father had.
Xu Nian actually possessed Divine Power Liquid?
"It seems you know about Divine Power Liquid. Ji Hengchuan, today is your death day. No one can save you," Xu Nian said coldly.
"Get him!" Ji Hengchuanâs eyes shifted, and he suddenly pushed Xingâer towards Xu Nian.
Xingâer was shocked.
She hurriedly swung her sword towards Xu Nian.
A trace of coldness flashed in Xu Nianâs eyes.
The Law Sword in his hand sliced through, directly cutting Xingâer in two.
Ji Hengchuan, who initially wanted to use this chance to escape, found his expression frozen.
Because he discovered Xu Nian had already reached him.
"Xu Nian, you canât kill me. My father is the Immortal Emperor. If you kill me, he definitely wonât let you go," Ji Hengchuan threatened quickly.
However, Xu Nianâs eyes didnât waver at all.
The Law Sword in his hand swung instantly, slashing out ten times in a row.
Ji Hengchuan couldnât even let out a scream before being sliced into numerous pieces by Xu Nian.
After killing Ji Hengchuan, the divine power in Xu Nian dissipated as well.
"With my current Soul Realm, I can only use less than one percent of power, and it can only last for half a cup of teaâs time," Xu Nian felt the divine power recede, speaking to himself.
Though itâs less than one percent power.
But just now, his strength had already rivaled that of an Immortal Sovereign Level expert.
He hadnât fought with an Immortal Sovereign yet, so Xu Nian didnât dare confirm whether it was Early Stage or Middle-stage Immortal Sovereign.
A drop of Divine Power Liquid could let him rival the Middle-stage Immortal Sovereign.
He really didnât know what kind of power would erupt if he fully absorbed this Divine Power Liquid.
"Now that Iâve used one drop of Divine Power Liquid, the Thunder Attribute can absorb less than one percent. I wonder how much the Wind Attribute can absorb, likely more than one percent," Xu Nian spoke to himself.
What he used was the Thunder Attribute.
There are still two drops of Wind Attribute left, which would be his final trump card.
Without further hesitation, Xu Nian flew directly towards Murong Xueâs location.
Quickly, he arrived by Murong Xueâs side.
Beside Murong Xue were Yan Chang and Gongsun Wanâer.
"Xu Nian, did you really kill Ji Hengchuan?" Yan Chang asked immediately upon seeing Xu Nian return.
"Yes, I killed him!" Xu Nian replied faintly.
Even though he didnât have a good impression of the City Lord of the City Lord Mansion, he didnât dislike him.
The other party was just an old fox, but hadnât done anything wrong to him.
"You have offended both the Tianhua Immortal Emperor and the Extreme Purple Immortal Emperor, especially the Extreme Purple Immortal Emperor. He holds deep grudges. You killed his son, and he definitely wonât let you go," Yan Chang said with a frown.
"I know! Let them come," Xu Nian muttered to himself.
He had already made up his mind.
He might as well hide in the Chaos Divine Palace directly.
Not to mention Immortal Emperors, even a Demigod may not be able to deal with him.
Moreover, he has another trump card, the Star Axe.
If really pushed, he wouldnât mind using the Star Axe once.
However, the Star Axe is incredibly powerful. Once used, it would surely attract the attention of many experts.
Now, Xu Nian didnât want to become a target for all.
So unless absolutely necessary, he wouldnât use the Star Axe.
Seeing Xu Nianâs expression, Yan Chang knew that no matter what he said, Xu Nian wouldnât listen.
"Letâs go back to the City Lord Mansion first. Your wife still needs healing," Yan Chang said.
Xu Nian didnât refuse and, holding Murong Xue, headed towards the City Lord Mansion.
Gongsun Wanâer looked at Xu Nian, then at Murong Xue in Xu Nianâs arms.
She discovered she was somewhat envious of Murong Xue.
Just now, Xu Nianâs furious demeanor for Murong Xue was indeed heart-shaking.
If there were a man who could do the same for her.
She would undoubtedly marry him without hesitation.
Looking at the frail Murong Xue in his arms, Xu Nianâs heart ached.
He could feel Murong Xueâs life force continuously ebbing away.
If it continued like this, Murong Xue might not survive beyond three years.
Thus, he hurried to inquire of Emperor Ye Tian.
"Master, is there a way to save Xueâer?" Xu Nian sent a wisp of Immortal Consciousness to face Emperor Ye Tian.
Emperor Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Nian. "To save her, thereâs only one method."
"What method?" Xu Nian asked eagerly.
