The Aspiration of the Xuanqin Emperor

Qin Ran failed to get into the large tent, stopped outside the camp tent.

But for him, whether inside or outside the tent didn't seem to make much difference. Outside the tent, he could still hear the conversation inside.

At this time, inside the tent, there were four people.

A man in his fifties sat in the main seat, Zhao Li;

A beautiful woman in her twenties sat to Zhao Li's left, Zhao Yaqing;

A young housewife who looked to be in her thirties sat next to Zhao Yaqing, she was Zhao Yaqing's dao protector.

In addition to the three of them, there was another person in the tent. This person was wrapped in a black cloak, with an eerie and terrifying aura, sitting in the seat to the right of Zhao Li, gender indistinguishable.

"There are a total of three cultivators in the city..." Zhao Li spoke first, saying to Zhao Yaqing, "Sword cultivator Li Shiyin, the white tiger on the city wall, and Li Shiyin's master Qin Ran, who just arrived at Wuyi City.

"Among them, only Li Shiyin's strength is clear, she is extremely terrifying, able to confront Yuan Ying cultivators head on. As for that white tiger and Qin Ran, we really don't know their strength."

Hearing Zhao Li's evaluation of Li Shiyin's strength, the jealousy in Zhao Yaqing's eyes could not be suppressed, turning into hatred spinning in her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Li Shiyin and Qin Ran, Aunt Mei and I fought them four years ago. At that time, they were far from being our opponents."

She paused, sorted out her emotions, and continued, "At that time, Li Shiyin had just started building her foundation, and Qin Ran was only at the stage of completing his foundation building. Li Shiyin is very talented, her cultivation and strength improve very quickly, but her master's talent is not that good. At most, Qin Ran has the strength of the Golden Core realm.

"As for that white tiger, I don't know it. But we can infer its strength. It is probably Qin Ran's spirit beast, a spirit beast's cultivation and strength will not exceed the cultivator's own, Qin Ran is at most early Golden Core realm, so the white tiger is also at the Foundation Establishment stage."

After listening to Zhao Yaqing's analysis, Zhao Li nodded, but did not comment, instead looking at the black cloak, wanting to hear his opinion.

"That is a sub-adult Profound Yin Spirit Tiger..." The black cloak spoke in a hoarse male voice, correcting Zhao Yaqing, "Its strength is at least at the Golden Core stage."

"Even if it's Golden Core stage, even if we put Qin Ran at Golden Core stage, then there are only three Golden Core cultivators in the city." Zhao Yaqing said,

"You can definitely deal with Li Shiyin and that Profound whatever White Tiger, leave Qin Ran for me and Aunt Mei to deal with. In fact, we don't have to care about Elder Ziyi's attitude."

"I have the Myriad Ghosts Life-Reaping Formation..." The cloaked man gave a different plan, "The three don't have to fight them separately, just need to lure them into my formation, and they will undoubtedly die."

"It's just..." The cloaked man said their limitation, "Killing them is not difficult. The difficulty is the sword qi in front of Wuyi City, that sword qi contains sword intent, it won't dissipate with the death of the cultivator. That is to say, even if we kill that sword cultivator, the sword qi will still be there."

Listening to this, Zhao Li asked, "Then what do you suggest, Immortal?"

"Anyway, the Myriad Ghosts Life-Reaping Formation has to be used, why don't I just use the formation to refine Wuyi City..." The hoarse-voiced man said, "Once the entire Wuyi City is refined, there is no need to worry about the sword qi."

None of those present were virtuous people, especially Zhao Li who had been on the battlefield for many years, but even he was shocked when he heard the cloaked man's plan.

The cloaked man wanted to refine the nearly one million living beings in the entire Wuyi City, turning them all into part of his Myriad Ghosts Life-Reaping Formation.

How inhuman!

Those in the tent were frightened by the cloaked man's words, silent for a good while, before Zhao Li spoke up, "This method is feasible, but it would damage the natural order too much, better not use it casually."

The cloaked man did not comment, just sitting there, as if he had not said those horrifying words earlier.

"Li Shiyin can be killed, but the sword qi cannot be broken..." Zhao Yaqing frowned, "Could it be that for such a trivial matter, we have to call back the Grand Priest from the palace?"

Zhao Li rubbed his fingers, looked at the few people in the tent, and suddenly looked at Zhao Yaqing and asked, "I have a question, does His Majesty's plan require unifying the entire Land of Immortal Legacy?"

"Yes!" Zhao Yaqing nodded.

"Unifying the entire Land of Immortal Legacy?" Hearing this, Qin Ran was surprised outside the tent. The Land of Immortal Legacy included the seven countries of Xuanqin, North Chu, Great Yan, and Yan Han. The Xuanqin Emperor was so ambitious?

"And that plan requires unifying the Land of Immortal Legacy as a prerequisite, what is that plan?!"

He suddenly felt that he had touched upon some earth-shattering secret, or rather, taboo.

...That plan was probably the reason why the Xuanqin Emperor could persuade the Cloud Heaven Sect to help Xuanqin!

"What a pity then!" Zhao Li sighed, "I thought we could take it one city or land at a time, this way, with you here, we don't have to worry about that sword qi."

"I understand uncle's meaning..." Zhao Yaqing said, "But this method really won't work."

Uncle? Qin Ran realized, Zhao Li and Zhao Yaqing must be from the Zhao family of Xuanqin!

"If not for Elder Ziyi, how would we have come to this?!" Zhao Li said angrily again, "His Majesty's side has also been unresponsive, I wonder what he is thinking."

The people inside discussed for a while longer, but still did not come up with specifics for the next step. They just said to wait for the Xuanqin Emperor's notice and have Zhao Yaqing contact the Boundless Sword Sect cultivators. If that led nowhere, they would try the black-robed man's proposal...

The meeting ended and Zhao Yaqing came out of the tent.

Having eavesdropped on this meeting, Qin Ran roughly understood the strange relationship between Zhao Yaqing and her dao protector. The dao protector was indeed there to protect Zhao Yaqing, because Zhao Yaqing seemed to be a very important part of the Xuanqin Emperor's plan.

"In that case..." Qin Ran understood, "Zhao Yaqing must die as well."

Zhao Yaqing didn't notice Qin Ran, only walking forward. Qin Ran cleverly followed behind her.

As he walked, he casually threw out a peanut-sized pill onto the ground. The pill disintegrated upon touching the ground, instantly disappearing into the air.

Zhao Yaqing had to die, Zhao Li must perish as well.

After throwing it, he followed Zhao Yaqing out of the tent area.

But at this moment, a hoarse shout came from the tent behind: "Who's poisoning?!"

"Hmm?" Qin Ran was surprised, discovered so quickly?!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures.

However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors.
