The transmigrated villain wants to escape Feng Aotian's hellish situation.

Upon learning of this young man, Qin Yangjun immediately went to the Imperial Hospital to check on Changsun Youyou's condition.

Fortunately, she was not seriously injured. When Qin Yangjun arrived, she had already taken the medicine and was resting, so Qin Yangjun did not disturb her.

Since Changsun Youyou was alright, Qin Yangjun thought he would go and see how Helian Yazhi's preparations were going.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the Imperial Hospital, someone blocked his way.

This person was none other than Helian Yao.

Chapter Eight: An Opportunity That Came to Our Door?

Helian Yao stopped Qin Yangjun.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Helian Yao explained his purpose to Qin Yangjun.

“Young Master Qin, I already know about the Shura Palace. Although the Shura Palace was driven out of the Port of No Return, the sea routes they opened up are still there. I came here this time to cooperate with the Yuqian Sect to revive the sea routes opened up by the Shura Palace and open up a new trade route.”

Compared to Helian Lanfeng, Helian Yao had a much broader vision. Helian Lanfeng wanted to get something for nothing, while Helian Yao was looking for mutual benefit.

But Qin Yangjun also knew that Helian Yao had his own selfish motives in opening up the sea route; ultimately, it was a political achievement to prove his ability...

Qin Yangjun considered the matter of the trade route again and again, but in the end he did not agree to Helian Yao's request, since that port was conquered by his sister.

He couldn't possibly start a collaboration with someone without saying a word, but Qin Yangjun did promise Helian Yao that he could tell his sister about it.

Despite being rejected, Helian Yao was not angry. Instead, he laughed and invited Qin Yangjun to dinner, saying that he wanted to treat Qin Yangjun well and introduce him to the local delicacies of Dongzhou.

Qin Yangjun used to dislike food, but since he started practicing the Dragon Elephant Sky-Soaring Technique, his body has become extremely fatigued, which means he has developed a craving for food. So, he actually became interested in Helian Yao's invitation.

Anyway, Helian Yazhi will come to find me once she's made all the preparations, so why should I bother going to her?

After convincing himself of this, Qin Yangjun prepared to agree to Helian Yao's request.

However, at that moment, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind, and Qin Yangjun immediately became alert and grabbed the hand.

"Your perception is quite good."

Qin Yangjun turned around and found that the person behind him was Helian Yun. Qin Yangjun glanced at him indifferently and let go of him.

Speaking of which, Helian Yun had approached me before, but I don't know if he has other intentions like his two younger brothers.

However, Qin Yangjun was overthinking things. Compared to his two younger brothers, Helian Yun's thoughts were much simpler.

He clenched his fists and said in a deep voice:

"Qin Yangjun! Let's have a match!"

Qin Yangjun raised an eyebrow. For a moment, he actually thought of Feng Ya, that battle maniac. He wondered where that girl had run off to and whether she had returned to Dayu Continent.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Yangjun's thoughts returned, and he could sense that Helian Yun's strength had also broken through to the mid-stage of the Void Realm.

It must be the effect of that wisp of dragon blood, but Qin Yangjun has no interest in fighting Helian Yun right now.

"I surrender."

Qin Yangjun smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, then prepared to leave with Helian Yao. Suddenly, Helian Yun called out loudly:

"How about I offer a drop of phoenix blood as a prize for this battle?"

Upon hearing this, not only Qin Yangjun but also Helian Yao were stunned. He turned his head and looked at his brother in disbelief.

Although they had all tempered their bodies with phoenix essence blood, phoenix essence blood was not something they could control. Just then, he suddenly noticed a gaze coming from within the imperial city.

In that instant, Helian Yao seemed to understand something, suppressed his inner impulse, and shut his mouth.

Qin Yangjun, however, turned his head with a serious expression and looked at Helian Yun.

"Phoenix essence blood... are you serious?"

"I always keep my word!"

Helian Yun looked at Qin Yangjun with a serious expression.

This also surprised Qin Yangjun.

In this Divine Radiance Yan Kingdom, there are two things that interest Lord Qin Yang.

One is the legendary phoenix feather, and the other is the phoenix blood essence.

Phoenix blood essence contains the power of flames. It can not only temper the body, but also, like the true feathers of the phoenix, contains a trace of the Dao of Nirvana.

In the Divine Radiance Flame Kingdom, the importance of this phoenix essence blood is second only to the phoenix true feathers.

But Qin Yangjun really didn't expect that Helian Yun would use this as a prize for the competition.

Although the Nirvana Dao essence contained in the Phoenix Blood Essence is not as vast as that contained in the Phoenix True Feathers.

But he has Erhuang, the ancestor who plays with fire.

With her help, we can definitely grasp a trace of Nirvana Dao essence. If we can successfully condense this Dao, it will be a life.

Even more so, it's not impossible for some to even attempt to reach the legendary threshold of immortality.

Moreover, he possesses the blood of a true dragon, and if he were to combine it with the essence of a phoenix, he could achieve even greater results.

If a dragon and phoenix were to sing in harmony, one's cultivation might leap to the peak of the Mahayana stage. If luck is on one's side, one might even be able to begin to comprehend one's own Great Dao by relying on the power of the dragon and phoenix's essence blood.

This was like an opportunity that came knocking on our door.

How could Qin Yangjun refuse?

However, they were not blinded by their emotions.

"Since Brother Yun has put it this way, I can't refuse. But since Brother Yun has offered a prize, what do I need to give in return?"

Helian Yun pondered for a moment. The only thing he was interested in about Qin Yangjun was the crimson banner.

But Helian Yun knew that the banner was a celestial artifact, far more valuable than a drop of phoenix blood essence. As for Qin Yangjun's cultivation technique, he didn't believe Qin Yangjun would hand it over...

"How about this promise: if you lose, you'll owe me a promise? Of course, this promise won't violate your principles."

Qin Yangjun's current status is equivalent to that of the young sect master of the Yuqian Sect. Qin Yangjun's promise is also largely equivalent to the promise of the Yuqian Sect, and its value should be equal to that of the Phoenix Essence Blood.

Qin Yangjun smiled slightly.

"it is good!"

Meanwhile, inside the palace, Emperor Yan stood in front of the main hall, gazing in the direction where Qin Yangjun and the others were.

Just then, a flame flashed, and Empress Yan appeared beside him. Seeing Empress Yan's solemn expression, Emperor Yan frowned.

"what happened?"

"The formation collapsed, and those who maintained it were also severely injured by the backlash and are currently receiving treatment at the Imperial Hospital."

Yan Huang's expression shifted several times, then he murmured something.

"How could this be... Is there anything else...?"

"Right now, the people from the Asura Palace are clamoring for us to return half of the resources."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huang snorted coldly.

"The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has already conducted the calculations as agreed. If we didn't get a result in the end, it's not our problem. And you want to return the resources? You really are a junior who doesn't know the rules!"

"If it weren't for their trade relations with the Asura Palace, they wouldn't even be qualified to ask for help. Tell them to get lost! Don't let them set foot in the Imperial City again."

Empress Yan nodded slightly, then disappeared from the spot.

After Empress Yan left, Emperor Yan looked in the direction where Qin Yangjun was, and his previously somewhat angry expression gradually calmed down.

Generally speaking, even if the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion fails in its divination of something, it wouldn't pay such a high price. At most, the formation would become ineffective. This situation only occurs when a single person is involved.

Could this really be related to him...?

Chapter Nine: Qin Yangjun's Doubts

Yan Huang raised his head, his sharp gaze seemingly piercing through space, landing directly on Qin Yangjun.

At the same time, on the arena a kilometer away, Qin Yangjun also noticed this gaze.

No wonder Helian Yun dared to offer such a high price; it turns out he was authorized by the Yan Emperor. I just don't know what the Yan Emperor wants me to do.

However, whatever he wants to do, his wishful thinking is likely to fail.

Looking at Helian Yun on the other side of the arena, Qin Yangjun smiled confidently. Even if Helian Yun had broken through to the mid-stage of the Void Realm, he was confident that he could defeat him completely.

The news of Qin Yangjun's battle against Helian Yun somehow spread very quickly.

At this moment, a number of disciples of princes and nobles had gathered below the training ground.

Helian Yun is devoted to martial arts and has also experienced many years of military life. His strength is recognized as the strongest among his brothers, and it is said that he recently had an opportunity to break through.

On the other hand, although Lord Qinyang is renowned, reputation is always spread by word of mouth and often deviates from the truth.

In their eyes, killing a Transcendent being with the strength of a Void Realm cultivator was already considered a rumor.

It's important to know that there's a Mahayana stage between the Void Transcending Realm and the Tribulation Transcending Realm. In the path of cultivation, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the gap. It's no exaggeration to say that a Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivator beating a Void Transcending Realm cultivator is like an adult beating a child.

A counterattack? That's pure nonsense. However, they don't think Qin Yangjun is weak, after all, he is the younger brother of that Fairy Yaoyang. But they don't think Qin Yangjun can defeat Helian Yun, since they haven't seen Qin Yangjun's strength, but they have seen Helian Yun's strength.

In just a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen noble children had gathered below the training ground.

Just then, Helian Yao's lips curled up, as if he had remembered something. He then made a bet with the person next to him, without deliberately lowering his voice.

After learning that Helian Yao favored Qin Yangjun, the remaining princes and nobles seemed to become interested as well.

Because of this, what was originally a bet between the two of them turned into a bet between Helian Yao and more than a dozen other people, which was essentially a disguised betting operation.

Meanwhile, in the martial arts arena, Qin Yangjun and Helian Yun faced off, and the discussions outside the arena did not seem to affect the two of them.

Qin Yangjun held a wooden sword, while Helian Yun held a wooden stick; a chilling atmosphere permeated the space between them.

Guns are very powerful, even wooden ones, so they were replaced with wooden sticks. After all, this wasn't a life-or-death struggle, and a stick could also be used as a gun.

Helian Yun spoke first:

"Qin Yangjun, are you ready?!"

Qin Yangjun slightly raised his hand.

"please!"

"it is good!"
