They're saved!

At this time, Zhu Wen, the Prince of Liang, was very powerful. Although Li Maozhen, the Prince of Qi, and Li Keyong, the Prince of Jin, did not cooperate openly, they had secretly formed an alliance.

"I'll stop him for now, you all should flee for your lives."

Li Maozhen stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.

She would never risk a life-or-death struggle against a top-tier expert at the Great Heaven Realm for the sake of the Tongwen Hall; at most, she could only offer some obstruction.

"Thank you for your help, Prince Qi!"

After thanking Bago with clasped hands, Bar and Bago immediately fled without daring to linger for even a moment.

"It really is her from the Illusionary Sound Pavilion..."

Qin Chuan stopped ten paces away from Li Maozhen and quietly watched the Prince of Qi.

He knew that the 'King Qi' in front of him was not the real Li Maozhen, but Li Maozhen's sister, the Empress of Huanyin Pavilion.

Many years ago, Li Maozhen was tricked by Yuan Tiangang into going to the Twelve Caves of Raojiang.

From then on, the Empress replaced him as the Queen of Qi. She was only a teenager at the time, so you can imagine how difficult it was for her.

What does it mean for women to be just as capable as men?

The Empress is the best example.

"I've heard that the Xuanming Sect has recently gained a new Yin Emperor, who must be you."

The empress spoke, her voice clear and crisp, just like her attire, making it difficult to tell whether she was male or female.

"It's me. I didn't expect the Prince of Qi to come in person."

Qin Chuan nodded, but did not reveal the Empress's true identity.

"I am helpless because my subordinates are incompetent."

The Empress shook her head and sighed.

Although her Huanyin Pavilion was as famous as the Xuanming Sect and Tongwen Hall, it was actually the weakest in terms of power.

The only expert she could muster was the Nine Heavens Saintess, but they all had missions to complete recently, so she had no choice but to take action herself.

The Empress glanced at Qin Chuan and sighed again:

"You are a beautiful woman, why did you become a thief?"

She truly regretted that such a talented person as Qin Chuan would join the Xuanming Sect and aid and abet evil.

"Heh, if I don't join the Xuanming Sect, how can I put my skills and ambitions to use?"

Qin Chuan said matter-of-factly.

Why not choose Tongwen Hall?

"The Tongwen Academy is full of hypocrites; I despise them."

Qin Chuan spoke these words with utmost sincerity; he truly looked down on the Tongwen Academy, especially that big-eared scoundrel Li Siyuan.

"What about my Illusionary Sound Pavilion?"

The Empress stared intently at Qin Chuan, unmoving, and a powerful, domineering aura rose up from her.

It seemed as if they were about to attack Qin Chuan at any moment.

"So your Huan Yin Fang accepts men?"

Qin Chuan looked surprised.

"Normally we don't accept them, but we can make an exception for a talent like you."

The Empress said in a deep voice.

"If the Prince of Qi wants to poach someone, he should at least offer some conditions, right?"

Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow and said:

"In the Xuanming Sect, I am second only to the leader, above ten thousand others. What can the Huanyin Pavilion offer me?"

After a moment's thought, the Empress realized she couldn't offer a better deal, and could only ask:

What do you want?

"People live their lives for nothing more than fame, fortune, beauty, wealth, and power."

Qin Chuan said with a half-smile:

"What does the Prince of Qi think I want?"

"you want……"

The Empress was incredibly intelligent and immediately realized that her Illusionary Sound Pavilion's biggest advantage over the other two was the abundance of beautiful women.

"Sure, as long as you join the Illusionary Sound Pavilion, you can choose any beauty within! I'll be your matchmaker!"

The Empress nodded slightly.

Does that include the Empress?

Qin Chuan looked at her and asked this question.

Upon hearing this, the Empress's face showed a mixture of shame and indignation, and she angrily said:

"Are you provoking me?"

Who doesn't know that the Empress is the younger sister of the Prince of Qi?

To speak ill of one's sister in front of one's brother is not just teasing, it's provocation! Moreover, she is both the brother and the sister!

Chapter 11 The Underworld Emperor's Order: Hunt Down King Qi!

"Prince Qi, please don't be angry. I mean it from the bottom of my heart."

Qin Chuan looked very serious:

"In my opinion, of all the people under heaven, only the Empress is the most suitable match for me..."

He cursed Yuan Tiangang, that old bastard, in his heart for insisting that he join the Huanyin Pavilion.

He must have had a suitable reason for joining the Fantasy Sound Pavilion.

He didn't want to dress as a woman, so he could only present himself as someone who was interested in the Empress.

"Stop talking!"

The Empress finally lost her temper, lightly tapping her feet as she lunged at Qin Chuan.

She wanted to see what this guy was capable of that made him think he was a good match for her!

The Empress cultivated the Illusionary Sound Technique, which is extremely Yin and gentle. This technique focuses on speed and is incredibly skillful. Speed ​​is power. Every move seems gentle, but it contains ingenious force.

She appeared in front of Qin Chuan, her fair, jade-like hand pressing directly against his chest.

The force of the palm strike caused Qin Chuan's blue robe to flutter loudly.

The Empress's power was fully revealed at this moment!

"A sin..."

Faced with the enraged empress, Qin Chuan mentally gave Yuan Tiangang the middle finger, then dodged her palm strike by sidestepping to the side.

His close combat experience was already fully honed in his previous duel with Ghost King Zhu Youwen, so he was not afraid of the Empress at all.

The two exchanged blows and fought fiercely amidst the flames of the imperial city.

"This guy is really capable!"

After a brief exchange, the Empress gained a more concrete understanding of Qin Chuan.

This guy is no less skilled or proficient than her.

The two were also very close in age, both in their early twenties.

Although she was unwilling, she had to admit that he was indeed a good match for her.

At this point, the Empress's anger had subsided considerably.

She gave a soft hum:

"Take my Illusionary Sound Technique, and I'll let bygones be bygones!"

The yin and softest energy condensed, and a purple spherical vortex appeared in the Empress's palm, accompanied by eerie sound waves.

Even with Qin Chuan's skill, he was slightly affected by the sound waves and his mind was momentarily dazed.

In that instant, the Empress moved like a bolt of purple lightning, leaving behind a trail of afterimages, and pushed out a purple spherical vortex of energy from her palm toward Qin Chuan.

By the time Qin Chuan rallied his spirits, the Empress's attack was no longer more than three feet in front of him.

He moved with his intention, hunching his chest and straightening his back, relaxing his shoulders and drooping his elbows, his arms outstretched as he slowly drew a circle.

Next, the Empress witnessed an unbelievable scene.

Qin Chuan's movements, slow as a tortoise, actually managed to parry her Illusionary Sound Technique!

Not only that, he also used the opponent's strength against them, returning all the power of the Illusionary Sound Technique to them!

The Empress was too surprised and had not expected this outcome. Caught off guard, she could not dodge Qin Chuan's counterattack.

She was sent flying backwards and almost fell to the ground.

"What kind of martial art is this?"

The Empress, ignoring the blood at the corner of her mouth, asked incredulously.

"Tai Chi emphasizes the balance of Yin and Yang and using the opponent's force against them."

Qin Chuan stopped fighting.

"You created this?"

The Empress had never heard of such a martial art before, and her first reaction was naturally that Qin Chuan had created it himself.

"Hard to say."

Qin Chuan shook his head and then nodded.
