"Oh?"
Qin Jun couldn't help showing a hint of joy on his face.
All the people on the Heavenly Rankings were extremely powerful and arrogant, and did not have good intentions towards these princes, Imperial Grandson. The reason they chose to train in the Inner Sect was partly to raise their cultivation, and secondly to become friends with the strongest in the sect.
If they could obtain the support of the sect's experts and return to the empire after three years, their status would naturally rise greatly.
Three years of time had already passed, and Qin Jun had only managed to win over a few inner disciples. Their attitude was not very positive, making him angry, but there was nothing he could do.
He had always wanted to pay a visit to those people on the Heavenly Rankings. Unfortunately, none of them could enter.
The people on the Heavenly Rankings were either cultivating behind closed doors or not seeing the princes like Imperial Grandson at all.
Today, a powerful warrior from the Heavenly Rankings took the initiative to visit him. Qin Jun instantly felt that his chance had come.
This could very likely be a sign of goodwill from an expert of the Heavenly Rankings.
"I wonder which Heavenly Ranking Master will be ranked on the Heavenly Rankings?"
He thought to himself as he hurried towards the guest hall.
The experts on the Heavenly Rankings naturally couldn't be slow when they took the initiative to visit others. They had to leave a good impression on others so that they could build a closer relationship in the future.
If he could recruit a Heavenly Ranking Master under his command, Qin Jun felt that he would have a certain amount of confidence to compete for the throne.
"I must seize this opportunity!"
Qin Jun clenched his hands into fists as his eyes emitted a light of ambition.
He was the Great Qing Empire's Nineteen Imperial Grandson, if he did not have a strong power, it would be impossible for the position of the to fall on him, but in the Inner Sect, everything is possible.
Although the Three Great Kingdoms did not want to admit it, the succession of power within the Three Great Kingdoms had always been tightly controlled by the Tianyuan Sect. As long as one was acknowledged by the Tianyuan Sect, it would be much easier to ascend to the throne.
"Where is that senior brother of the Heavenly Rankings?"
Qin Jun rushed out of the guest hall and hurriedly asked when he saw a few servants standing outside.
"Reporting to Your Highness, he is in the palace."
The closest servant, Qin Guan, glanced back at Nineteen Imperial Grandson and Qin Jun with a strange expression.
However, Qin Jun was in a hurry to get to know the experts of the Heavenly Rankings. He did not notice at all and directly reprimanded them, "Senior brother of the Heavenly Rankings has come to visit. What are you all doing outside instead of serving them? How can you be so slow?"
"I'll deal with you guys later!"
Qin Jun snapped in a low voice. Then, a smile appeared on his face. He straightened his clothes and walked towards the main hall.
Just as he entered the hall, he saw a black-robed youth sitting within. His back was facing the door, and only his back could be seen.
Just the back of the figure exuded a faint domineering aura.
"No wonder he's an expert of the Heavenly Rankings!"
Qin Jun exclaimed in his heart and the smile on his face became even wider.
"I didn't know senior brother would visit, Qin Jun came late, almost late, please forgive me."
Qin Jun said.
"This is my first time here in Royal Courtyard, my pretense is pretty good."
The expert from the Heavenly Rankings swept his gaze across the hall as he casually spoke.
"If senior likes it, you can always …"
Qin Jun's voice was cut off and his expression changed rapidly.
As the youth turned his head to look at him, his expression instantly froze and then quickly turned ashen.
"It's you?"
His hands tightened into fists and his eyes turned cold.
"If it wasn't me, who else would it be?"
Su Lie laughed and said: "Even though we've only met a few times, every time I leave the sect, you send someone to deliver a great gift, making me feel a little bad about it. That's why I brought you quite a few gifts this time, so I specifically made a trip to deliver them."
He's not dead yet?
The eight Revealing Astral Realm Rankers had already sent out experts at the sixth level of the Revealing Astral Realm, yet they were still unable to kill him?
"A bunch of trash!"
Qin Jun was furious and he couldn't help but release his aura.
"Although I am ranked in the Heaven Ranking, I am much richer than you princes, Imperial Grandson. I only brought a few worthless things with me. I hope Imperial Grandson will not mind."
Su Lie smiled and with a flip of his hand, seven purple gold insignia appeared in his hand like a fan.
"It's just some small stuff that doesn't fit the bill."
Su Lie flicked his wrist and shot towards Qin Jun.
The seven purple gold tokens turned into seven rays of purple light and arrived in a flash. Qin Jun instinctively dodged to the side.
"Puff puff puff …"
The seven tokens were inserted into the door lintel in an instant, only leaving a gap of half a finger's length.
"Alright, the gift has been delivered. I should head back now."
Su Lie stood up and took a sip of the tea beside him. He nodded his head and praised: "I have to say, this tea is not bad."
"Su Lie …"
Qin Jun clenched his hands tightly, the joints of his ten fingers were completely white.
"Remember, if there is a next time, it is best for you to send more people."
Su Lie brushed past him and lowered his voice to speak slowly.
His voice was also filled with a trace of coldness.
Feeling the chill in Su Lie's voice, Qin Jun's heart could not help but tremble slightly.
"Is there a next time?"
Qin Jun was inwardly furious. The Great Qing Empire only had two in the Sixth Layer of Revealing Astral Realm, one in the Seventh and the other in the Eighth. Four experts sending out a Revealing Astral Realm Ranker had already paid a shocking price, and they still hadn't managed to kill Su Lie.
Moreover, the Great Qing empire would probably not allow him to do so. After all, the consequences would be too great, and if he were to attract the attention of the Tianyuan Sect, the entire imperial family might be implicated.
Su Lie could only survive under the encirclement of eight Revealing Astral Realm Rankers right now. After a period of time, his cultivation would be stronger, would he still have a chance?
"Should I not have provoked him?"
Qin Jun felt a bit of regret.
He suddenly realized that Su Lie was no longer someone he could provoke, but he had already formed a grudge against. Moreover, he had already paid such a huge price for Su Lie to give up just like that, so he was somewhat unwilling.
He was already riding a tiger.
Su Lie strode with large strides into the great hall. However, he was in the middle of this, where he saw several figures piercing through the air towards him. The ones leading them were the Eighth Elder of the Qingyu Peak s.
"Qin Jun, you murdered a fellow sect disciple and violated the sect's rules, come quickly and claim your punishment!"
The eighth elder's aura was completely different, exuding an iron-blooded aura.
When he saw Su Lie walking out from the great hall, a strange expression appeared in his eyes. Why did he come here? Didn't that little girl Yu Ling say that the ambush was aimed at him?
Did he kill Qin Jun?
The eighth elder's expression couldn't help but change. Although Qin Jun had murdered a fellow sect disciple and violated the sect rules, if Su Lie secretly took revenge, then that would also be a violation of the sect rules.
In the hall, Qin Jun still hadn't recovered from the shock brought by Su Lie. When he heard the voice coming from outside the hall, his body suddenly froze and his face instantly turned deathly pale.
"He actually informed the sect about me?"
Qin Jun started to panic.
The first time he failed to kill Su Lie, and after Su Lie returned to the sect, he did not inform the sect either. The second time he was absolutely confident that Su Lie would not return, and he had never worried like this.
"It's fine, the sect has no evidence, and Su Lie did not die. Furthermore, no matter what I say, he is from the Great Qing Dynasty, Imperial Grandson. The sect will definitely choose to settle the matter peacefully. At most, they will give us some spirit stones …"
Qin Jun thought quickly and moved extremely quickly. He leaped up and slammed his palm on the door. He then took the purple gold token and put it away.
He reckoned that this should be the only evidence in Su Lie's hands, but now it was in his hands.
After some thought, he finally regained his composure after confirming that the sect couldn't find any evidence, and calmly walked out of the hall.
Disciple Qin Jun has been cultivating in the sect ever since he entered it. He has never left the sect and is protected by the sect's great formation, so I have no chance to harm his fellow sect members.
Qin Jun stood in the middle of the plaza and slightly bowed. Then, he raised his head and said to the Eighth Elder in a clear voice.
His words were powerful and full of confidence.
Seeing Qin Jun appear, the Eighth Elder breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Su Lie was not impulsive, otherwise, things would have been a little difficult.
He had been paying attention to Su Lie this entire time and wanted to take him in after a period of investigation.
The rise in Su Lie's cultivation, as well as his progress in the Pill Dao, had already reached the standard that he had expected. In his heart, he had already decided to place Su Lie as his personal disciple.
"You still dare to quibble?"
The Eighth Elder could not help but snort coldly, and waved his hand: "Capture him and bring him back to the Qingyu Peak for interrogation."
Although he was a penalty elder of the sect, if it was just him, it would still take some effort to make a move on Imperial Grandson, but now that there was an old demon above him, he didn't have any scruples. No matter how much trouble he created, everything would be fine if he pushed it onto that old demon.
"What, want to bring me back to the Qingyu Peak for interrogation?"
Qin Jun's expression changed drastically.
This was not what he had expected.
He had thought that the Sentencing Elder had only brought people over to only warn him, and that it would be followed by a round of bargaining. He hadn't thought that the Sentencing Elder would actually be serious and bring him back to the Qingyu Peak.
What kind of place was the Qingyu Peak?
Countless vicious people who had provoked the Tianyuan Sect were all there. Those who were captured and sent to the Qingyu Peak were able to leave without a hitch, and so far, they had never heard of anyone leaving with at least some pain in their flesh.
"Elder, please do not be disrespectful and not be taken advantage of by this lowly one …"
Qin Jun was truly worried.
Once he entered the Qingyu Peak, he would not even be able to contact the Great Qing Empire and would definitely die there.
