The vast wilderness, the Xuantian Sect, and the cliff behind the mountain. Three young men dressed in moon-white robes, carrying long swords on their backs, with cold faces and a murderous look in their eyes. Beside them lies a black-clad young man, handsome and extraordinary, but at the moment, his face is extremely pale, filled with pain and anger between his brows. "Senior brothers, do you really want to kill Qin Hao? After all, he is the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Empire!" "What does it matter if he's the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Empire? He's just a waste, unable to please the Emperor, blame his own misfortune for daring to offend Senior Brother Shang!" "Yes! With the attack from the Beast Gate, Xuantian Sect cannot escape this calamity. Only by following Senior Brother Shang can we have hope of survival! This kid has ruined our plans, he must die!" "..." All three of them are disciples of the Xuantian Sect, their voices filled with killing intent. "Are you going to kill me?" A calm and tranquil voice comes from behind them. "Qin Hao, you're awake?!" All three of them tremble, quickly turning around, their eyes showing an incredulous look. The black-clad young man, Qin Hao, somehow woke up at some point, standing calmly before them. Qin Hao's expression is indifferent, his eyes ancient and profound, as if harboring a power that can penetrate the depths of one's heart, making the three disciples of the Xuantian Sect involuntarily tremble, feeling an inexplicable sense of unfamiliarity. Qin Hao was severely injured and unconscious after being struck by Senior Brother Shang's Fire Dragon Palm. How could he wake up so easily? All three disciples of the Xuantian Sect are filled with doubts. "Awake? What of it? He's just a Qi Refinement trash. Let's kill him again and throw his body off the cliff to erase all traces!" One disciple's eyes are filled with killing intent, his expression fierce. "Qin Hao, blame yourself for offending Senior Brother Shang. Originally, I wanted to give you a quick death, but now you'll have to die again!" "Don't waste time with him, kill him!" The three disciples of the Xuantian Sect are full of murderous intent. "You want to kill me?" Qin Hao remains calm, his voice devoid of any anger. But as soon as he finishes speaking, Qin Hao moves. He effortlessly steps aside, avoiding the area covered by their sword qi, then points a finger, directly hitting the wrist of one disciple. With a grunt, the disciple's sword falls, landing in Qin Hao's hand in the next moment. With the Xuantian Sword in hand, Qin Hao's demeanor changes instantly. His eyes shine brightly, his figure tall and straight like a dragon, as if merging with heaven and earth, resembling an unsheathed divine sword radiating an aura that reaches the sky. "What?!" The three disciples of the Xuantian Sect show expressions of utter shock. Is this the same Ninth Prince they called a waste? Such pure and vast sword intent, not even Senior Brother Shang can achieve it. Clang! A sword chant echoes, like a thunderbolt on a clear day, a snow-white sword light flashes across, dazzling to the extreme. No one can describe the splendor of that sword! The three disciples stand frozen in place, their eyes reflecting the brilliant sword light, revealing undisguised fear. This is the true Xuantian Sword Technique! But they are speechless. Pfft! Blood splatters as three heads soar into the sky, their eyes wide open, filled with unwillingness. Without another glance, Qin Hao turns and walks away. Behind him, three headless bodies collapse to the ground. At this moment, the rising sun lights up the sky. The morning sun breaks through the clouds, casting golden rays on the earth and on Qin Hao, enveloping him in golden light, like a god descending from heaven. "Xuantian Sect, I'm back!" Qin Hao murmurs softly to himself, his eyes filled with nostalgia and reminiscence. He was once the Emperor of Heaven—Qin Hao! A million years ago, he ruled over countless realms, dominating the nine heavens and ten earths, reigning over billions of lives, establishing the Supreme Heavenly Court as the Emperor of Heaven! After being struck by the Fire Dragon Palm, he finally awakens his memories of his past life. A million years have passed, much has changed. He never expected Xuantian Sect to still exist. In his mind, he sees the figure of a young and shy youth—his disciple Xuantian, who later became the mighty Xuantian Emperor, the founder of Xuantian Sect. A million years ago, before Xuantian ascended as an emperor, the extraterrestrial demons invaded, threatening the realms. Qin Hao led the Heavenly Court's numerous strongmen to confront the enemy. The battle was extremely brutal, with countless casualties among the Heavenly Court's strongmen. Ultimately, the Emperor of Heaven and the Demon Ancestor engaged in a final battle, perishing together. However, both the Emperor of Heaven and the Demon Ancestor had attained the origin of the Heavenly Dao, condensing immortal spirits of the Emperor level, and did not truly perish. The Emperor of Heaven was able to reincarnate and return a million years later. As for how he reincarnated and why he returned here, Qin Hao still doesn't know. But he can imagine that it must be closely related to his disciple, the disciple of that Emperor who attained the Dao. In this life, Qin Hao is the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Empire. Due to his mediocre talent in martial arts, he has been unable to break through to the Qi Refinement realm, thus not gaining the favor of the Emperor. Leaving the Great Qin Empire, he became a disciple of the Xuantian Sect, in a sense, it was a form of exile. But in this world, strength is revered everywhere. Despite his noble status, because he couldn't break through to the Spiritual Sea realm, he has always been known as a waste, and suffered from the discrimination of the disciples of Xuantian Sect. This time, Xuantian Sect encountered an unprecedented catastrophe, and he broke through Senior Brother Shang's collusion with the Beast Gate, so he was targeted for death. If it weren't for awakening his memories of his past life, he might have died in confusion here. "Bold Qin Hao, how dare you harm my Xuantian Sect disciples privately?" Just then, a thunderous roar interrupts Qin Hao's thoughts. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Several figures fly over, arriving in moments. They wield long swords, their faces cold and merciless, surrounding Qin Hao. Several disciples dressed in white robes, all reaching the Spiritual Sea realm, with a purple-robed young man leading the group, looking to be in his twenties, handsome and tall, exuding a majestic aura with his innate true energy. He is none other than Shang Xi! His cultivation has reached the Realm of Myriad Manifestations. In the momentary flight back, Qin Hao, noticing Shang Xi's short flight, realizes that he might not be far from reaching the Golden Core realm. No wonder he's considered a genius disciple of Xuantian Sect.

Unfortunately, the ideal beauty turns out to be a thief.

Shangxi looked at Qin Hao, who was calm in front of him, and the three headless corpses, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Previously, after severely injuring Qin Hao with the Fire Dragon Palm, he alerted the mountain guards, which led to three disciples coming to deal with Qin Hao while he led the guards away and transmitted important information.

However, he was still somewhat uneasy, so he returned to check, only to unexpectedly witness this scene.

But how could Qin Hao, already severely injured by his Fire Dragon Palm, possibly have killed three disciples at the God Sea Realm?

Qin Hao's gaze fell on Shangxi, his expression indifferent, without saying a word.

This Shangxi in front of him should be the spy colluding with the Beast Control Sect, but he didn't know if there was anyone else pulling the strings above him.

"Qin Hao, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, daring to harm fellow disciples. Now that I've caught you, what else do you have to say? I see you as a spy of our Xuantian Sect, accept your fate!"

Seeing Qin Hao's calm demeanor, Shangxi instinctively felt a trace of unease, with a murderous intent filling his eyes as he immediately made a move.

He was extremely ruthless and decisive, first accusing Qin Hao of murdering fellow disciples, and then immediately striking to kill Qin Hao. In doing so, even if he were discovered by someone, he would have the moral high ground, cleaning up the sect for the sake of the sect.

Boom!

Shangxi's palm seemed to ignite, turning red, as majestic innate qi surged, faintly accompanied by the roar of a dragon.

In the next moment, a powerful and domineering palm print came whistling, slamming towards Qin Hao's head.

Fire Dragon Palm!

This time, Shangxi exerted his full strength, using his cultivation at the Myriad Manifestations Realm to unleash the Fire Dragon Palm, killing Qin Hao, who was only at the Qi Refinement Realm. It could be said to be a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

A hint of admiration appeared in Qin Hao's eyes. This Shangxi was ruthless and decisive, a remarkable figure.

Unfortunately, he picked the wrong enemy.

As the palm approached, it already appeared in front of Qin Hao, and the air became extremely hot. Qin Hao's expression remained calm.

He glanced lightly at Shangxi, and the next moment, thunder burst forth from his tongue.

"Get lost!"

The ancient and mysterious syllables sounded like the thunder at the beginning of the world, causing Shangxi to tremble all over, feeling his mind roaring, as if his entire soul was about to be scattered.

Even though he had returned with a diminished cultivation, shedding all his cultivation, the remaining one-millionth of the aura of a heavenly emperor was like a commandment, something Shangxi couldn't resist at all.

He was like being hit by a petrification spell, instantly immobilized.

Swish!

Qin Hao pointed his finger in mid-air, with sharp light flashing at his fingertips as if they could pierce through everything. In an instant, he pointed at Shangxi's dantian.

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed as the innate qi within Shangxi's body burst forth, his entire being like a deflated balloon, flying out directly.

"Ah... my dantian! You actually crippled my dantian and sea of consciousness?! How is that possible?!"

Shangxi screamed in agony, trembling violently all over, blood gushing from his mouth, his eyes full of resentment.

With his dantian and sea of consciousness crippled, he also suffered backlash from the innate qi, immediately receiving severe injuries.

But he couldn't figure out how Qin Hao did it.

The several Xuantian Sect disciples around also showed extremely shocked expressions, staring at Qin Hao firmly, their eyes filled with astonishment and vigilance.

However, the trembling swords revealed their inner panic.

Shangxi's senior brother at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, a genius disciple of the Xuantian Sect, had become a cripple just like that?

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Just then, the sounds of the fight and Shangxi's screams alerted the Xuantian Sect's mountain guards. Seven or eight cold-faced black-robed guards appeared in the sky and landed in front of Qin Hao in an instant.

Flight through manipulation of qi!

These were powerful figures at the Golden Core Realm!

Most of these black-robed guards were stewards and elders of the Xuantian Sect. Since the Xuantian Sect encountered a great calamity, the strength of the mountain guards had been greatly enhanced.

"What's going on?"

One black-robed guard asked in a cold voice.

They were also shocked by the scene before them.

It was one thing for three Xuantian Sect disciples to die, but for Shangxi, such a genius disciple, to have his dantian and sea of consciousness crippled by someone?

Their eyes were full of suspicion as they scrutinized Qin Hao and the Xuantian Sect disciples.

Qin Hao remained indifferent, showing no intention to explain.

"It's him, it's Qin Hao! After killing three senior brothers, he struck Shangxi when discovered by Senior Brother Shangxi, crippling his dantian and sea of consciousness! Please, guard sir, make a decision..."

A Xuantian Sect disciple shivered, pointing at Qin Hao and loudly declaring, his eyes filled with a mixture of shock and anger.

"Qin Hao?"

The eyes of the many black-robed guards showed disbelief.

They naturally recognized Qin Hao, the ninth prince of the Great Qin Empire, whose status in the Xuantian Sect was transcendent.

But Qin Hao's reputation as a waste was also well known.

A waste who couldn't even break through to the Divine Sea Realm actually killed three disciples at the Divine Sea Realm and crippled Shangxi's dantian and sea of consciousness?

The many black-robed guards all wore expressions of disbelief.

"Nonsense! You're the spy of the Beast Control Sect."

"You killed three senior brothers, crippled Senior Brother Shangxi's dantian and sea of consciousness, and now you dare to turn the tables?"

The Xuantian Sect disciples were infuriated, their eyes filled with anger.

The black-robed guards looked at each other, unsure of how to handle the situation.

Especially since it involved the Beast Control Sect, they had to be cautious.

"Quiet down! We can't handle this matter. Next, I'll take you to meet the Sect Master and let the Sect Master decide!"

The black-robed guard coldly ordered.

The Xuantian Sect disciples were about to say something, but when they met the cold gaze of the black-robed guard, they couldn't say anything, only nodding bitterly.

But deep down, they were extremely frightened. If they were to meet the Sect Master, wouldn't they all be exposed?

Qin Hao showed an undeniable expression. He really wanted to see what kind of person the Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect was, to let the Xuantian Sect fall to its current state?
