Rebellious Old Servant: From Gatekeeper to Immortal Emperor

Hearing Qin Xiao's "provocative" reply.

Zuo Wuyou, kneeling on the ground, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He never expected that Qin Xiao, that old bastard, would be so ignorant and arrogant.

It's one thing to be presumptuous in front of me, but to be so presumptuous in front of the Holy Maiden as well.

His expression immediately changed drastically, and he roared angrily:

"How dare you, you lowly wretch, disrespect the Holy Maiden! Do you know that the Holy Maiden is the most esteemed person in our Black Heaven Sect? Even the Emperor of the Great Xuan Dynasty would not dare to be disrespectful to her, let alone a lowly servant like you!"

"What?! This person is the Holy Maiden of the Black Heaven Cult? Why would the Holy Maiden of the Black Heaven Cult appear in such a small place?"

Upon hearing that the other party was the Holy Maiden of the Black Heaven Sect, Li Ruoyou's throat became extremely dry, and her beautiful eyes were filled with fear and unease.

Did she know how noble the Holy Maiden of the Black Heaven Cult was? Within the Black Heaven Cult, she was second only to the leader, holding a position second only to the cult leader.

This is a truly important figure, whose status is comparable to that of a true disciple of the Mountain and River Sect, and the Crown Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty!

The mere sight of Zuo Wuyou here had already made her extremely uneasy; who would have thought that such an important figure would appear in her family's medicinal herb field?

At this moment, Li Ruoyou's unease reached its peak.

She felt increasingly uneasy and began to tremble all over.

"A saintess? I think a witch is more like it."

Qin Xiao stared coldly at the black-veiled saintess, who exuded an alluring charm.

If it were an ordinary man, he would probably be instantly captivated by the black-veiled saintess and become her devoted follower.

But Qin Xiao was not swayed in the slightest.

Because he had mastered the essence of the sword, his mental strength was far superior to that of ordinary martial artists.

Instantly, I sensed that this terrifyingly alluring aura was also a kind of artistic conception.

Qin Xiao then realized that this black-veiled saintess was actually a terrifying prodigy who had comprehended the power of intent.

Even if I fight with all my might, I might not be a match for the other party.

Because the other party also possesses the power of artistic conception.

However, Qin Xiao has another advantage, which is his Life-Burning Body.

If you really risk your life, you could burn through ten or twenty years of your life in one go.

Even if the other party is stronger than him, Qin Xiao doesn't believe he can't tear off a piece of their skin.

Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, Zuo Wuyou broke out in a cold sweat, terrified to the extreme, as if she were afraid of incurring the Holy Maiden's wrath.

Unexpectedly, the black-veiled saintess was not angry; instead, she looked at Qin Xiao with a smile.

"Hehe, you old man, you're really incredibly audacious."

"However, after all, he has mastered the sword intent; it would be strange if he didn't have such courage."

"What? He's mastered the essence of the sword?"

Zuo Wuyou stared wide-eyed in disbelief, almost wondering if she had misheard.

Sword intent?

How could Qin Xiao, a country bumpkin from a small place, possibly cultivate such profound and terrifying techniques as sword intent?

Even within the Black Heaven Sect, those who can cultivate the power of intent are extremely rare; each one is a top-tier genius.

How could Qin Xiao possibly comprehend such a thing?

But Zuo Wuyou knew that the Holy Maiden would not deceive a nobody like him. In an instant, while he was filled with disbelief, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Because he knew that Qin Xiao had not used his sword intent when he dealt with him.

If one were to unleash the intent of the sword.

He was doomed to die.

The saintess might not be able to save him in time.

As for Li Ruoyou, she was shocked to hear that Qin Xiao had even comprehended the unfathomable and terrifying technique of sword intent.

I felt completely numb.

Along the way, she had been shocked by Qin Xiao's methods countless times.

Just when she thought Qin Xiao had exceeded her expectations, he always managed to come up with even more terrifying methods.

Therefore, in her mind, Qin Xiao seemed to be an omnipotent figure, and it was not surprising that he could do anything.

Even now, seeing this high and mighty saintess appear, she doesn't feel the same despair she felt when she first met Zuo Wuyou.

After all, Qin Xiao was by her side.

However, Li Ruoyou was unaware of this.

At this moment, Qin Xiao was truly in trouble.

Previously, whether it was Luo Chen, Luo Yue, or Zuo Wuyou.

In reality, none of them posed a threat to Qin Xiao.

Only the black-veiled saintess before him posed a real threat to Qin Xiao.

Although the other party showed no signs of making a move, he was all smiles and appeared extremely kind.

Qin Xiao was not deceived by his opponent; instead, his heart grew increasingly heavy. He knew perfectly well that his opponent's strength was definitely above his own.

Unless I fight with all my might, I have absolutely no chance of winning.

"You flatter me. You're not bad either; you've also grasped the essence of the conception."

Faced with the saintess's words, Qin Xiao smiled faintly and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

He wasn't surprised that the veiled saintess had seen through his comprehension of the power of intent.

After all, he had also sensed that the black-veiled saintess possessed the same power of artistic conception.

That's why Qin Xiao felt how terrifying the other party was.

A higher realm, a superior physique, and the same artistic conception as oneself.

Aside from unleashing his Life-Burning Body, Qin Xiao had absolutely no way to fight back against his opponent.

"hehe."

The veiled saintess smiled faintly, a hint of amusement flickering in her beautiful eyes as she saw Qin Xiao's alarmed expression.

"No need to be so nervous. You're a talented individual, and our Black Heaven Cult is always eager to recruit capable people. If you join our Black Heaven Cult and become my subordinate, I'll let you off this time, how about that?"

This statement came out.

Both Zuo Wuyou and Li Ruoyou were shocked. Neither of them expected that this Holy Maiden would not make a move, but instead wanted to recruit Qin Xiao, her enemy.

However, the two reacted differently. After being shocked, Zuo Wuyou immediately fell silent, not daring to question the words of the black-veiled saintess in the slightest.

He could understand the saintess's intentions. Qin Xiao, a martial artist who had a fortuitous encounter and had comprehended the power of intent, could no longer be considered a country bumpkin from a small place.

Even within the Black Heaven Sect, he would be considered a top-tier prodigy. It's not surprising that the Holy Maiden would want to recruit such a talent.

Li Ruoyou looked anxiously at Qin Xiao:

"No, Uncle Lin—no, Uncle Qin, the Black Heaven Cult is a scourge to the country and its people, harming countless lives. It is by no means a good place. You must not be bewitched by her."

She was terrified that Qin Xiao would be bewitched by the Holy Maiden.

The Black Heaven Sect is indeed a top-tier power in the Great Xuan Dynasty. Any ordinary martial artist who could join it would be overjoyed.

But how could any good person join a demonic organization like the Black Heaven Cult?

Li Ruoyou absolutely did not want Qin Xiao to become the kind of villain who would stop at nothing to advance his career.

"Don't worry, Ruoyou, I will not join the Black Heaven Cult."

The next moment, Qin Xiao's answer made Li Ruoyou breathe a sigh of relief.

Qin Xiao glanced calmly at the black-veiled saintess: "Although I, Qin Xiao, am not a good person and have always preferred to mind my own business, I am not the kind of villain who likes to kill innocent people to practice my skills."

"Forget about me joining the Black Heaven Cult. Show me whatever tricks you have up your sleeve!"

As he spoke, he was already prepared to fight to the death.

Qin Xiao had nothing to talk about with the scoundrels of the Black Heaven Cult.

Such a demonic force, which sacrifices hundreds of thousands of people from an entire city for cultivation, is something only a madman would join.

Qin Xiao is an honest, low-key, and repressed old man who has been living a life of quiet frustration for seventy years.

Young people no longer harbor the ambition to become heroes and save the world.

But it doesn't mean they've fallen so low as to associate with madmen.

"presumptuous!"

That saintess who terrified Zuo Wuyou to the extreme.

However, no anger appeared on her pretty face.

Instead, he revealed a faint smile and said:

"you"
