Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

The visitor was none other than the Empress. Ever since Qin Chuan went into seclusion, she had come to see him every day.

She had expected to leave disappointed again today, but Qin Chuan suddenly appeared in front of her.

"You've finally emerged from seclusion!"

The Empress was overjoyed; she had a thousand words to say, but didn't know where to begin.

"How long exactly have I been in seclusion?"

Qin Chuan's heart skipped a beat. Judging from the Empress's reaction, it was clear that he had probably spent a long time deducing the cultivation technique.

"A full seven years!"

The Empress said with a hint of sorrow.

She had worried about this guy for seven years, but he seemed to have lived almost the entire life.

Seven years?!

Although Qin Chuan had already anticipated this, he was still taken aback.

Fortunately, the Longevity Formula has the effect of abstaining from grains, otherwise he would have starved to death long ago!

"Why have you been in seclusion for so long? If I hadn't sensed that your aura had remained stable, I would have almost thought something had happened to you!"

The Empress was very puzzled.

She also often went into seclusion, but never for more than a month.

Qin Chuan, on the other hand, had been in seclusion for a full seven years!

How many seven-year periods does one have in a lifetime?

"I created my own martial arts technique."

Qin Chuan had nothing to hide from the Empress and revealed that he had created the Nine Heavens Longevity Technique.

The empress's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

The Longevity Technique and the Nine Netherworld Profound Heaven Divine Art are already the most advanced martial arts techniques in the world.

How powerful would the technique Qin Chuan created by combining the strengths of both be?

"With this technique, I will definitely surpass Yuan Tiangang within two years!"

Qin Chuan was full of confidence.

As the creator of the Nine Heavens Longevity Technique, no one understood its power better than him.

It could even be said that this technique has surpassed the limits of this world.

Perhaps that's why it took him so long.

Chapter 38 Fulfilling the Bet, Seeing Yuan Tiangang Again

"During my seven years of seclusion, did anything major happen?"

At this moment, Qin Chuan was like a prisoner who had just been released from prison, out of touch with the outside world.

"Nothing serious, just the various lords fighting over territory."

The empress spoke casually, as if in her eyes the struggle for supremacy among the feudal lords was no different from children's fighting.

"No unusual activity from the northern barbarian tribes?"

Qin Chuan was most concerned about the northern frontier. He hadn't made any moves in seven years, and there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't jump to conclusions.

"They were terrified by your slaughter, how dare they even think of attacking the Central Plains?"

The Empress thought for a moment and said:

"And they've been fighting amongst themselves lately."

Qi Kingdom borders the northern desert, so she naturally knew quite a bit about these foreign tribes.

Not long ago, Yelü Abaoji's younger brother, Yelü Lage, plotted to seize the throne and launched a rebellion, plunging the entire northern desert into chaos.

"Xiao Wu, she..."

Qin Chuan was not surprised by this, but he was a little worried about Yelü Zhiwu.

However, given his youngest apprentice's talent, after seven years, he should have already reached the Great Celestial Realm, and self-preservation should not be a problem.

With this in mind, Qin Chuan felt relieved and continued to ask:

"What about Zhu Wen?"

Upon hearing this, the Empress's pretty face flushed red as she recalled the promise they made seven years ago.

Just as Qin Chuan had predicted, Zhu Wen became increasingly senile and decadent over the next seven years, indulging in sensual pleasures and even taking advantage of his own daughter-in-law.

According to their agreement, shouldn't she let Qin Chuan kiss her?

Fortunately, Qin Chuan seemed to have forgotten about the bet. After learning about Zhu Wen's change, he simply nodded slightly.

The Empress couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

She still remembers after seven years, but he has forgotten?

"Has that old bastard ever sent anyone to look for me all these years?"

Qin Chuan seemed oblivious to the Empress's reaction and inquired about Yuan Tiangang's whereabouts.

The Empress, concealing her disappointment, replied:

“More than once, people have come to check the situation in secret. They were probably his thugs. I just pretended not to see them.”

"It seems he still cares about me quite a bit..."

Qin Chuan lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

The Empress also fell silent, then suddenly remembered something and spoke:

"There's something I don't know if it's a big deal."

"tell me the story."

Qin Chuan raised his head and looked at the Empress.

“A fire-spirit mushroom has appeared in Yuzhou City. I have already sent Xue’er to retrieve it.”

As the empress spoke, she secretly added another sentence in her mind:

"I went to get this especially for you..."

"Fire Spirit Mushroom?"

Qin Chuan's expression changed.

So, it's time for Yuan Tiangang's chess game to begin?

Qin Chuan immediately asked the Empress for the Longquan Sword, only to discover that it was a fake sword; the real one had been switched over the past seven years.

Qin Chuan became increasingly certain that this was Yuan Tiangang's scheme.

The Fire Spirit Mushroom and the Dragon Spring Sword were all tools for Yuan Tiangang to attract the attention of the world, and he wanted to use them to create momentum for Li Xingyun.

"I have to leave."

With this thought in mind, Qin Chuan bid farewell to the Empress.

Although he changed a lot, there were some things that Yuan Tiangang had already decided long ago.

For example, having the Black and White Impermanence and the Five Kings of Hell confront Li Xingyun would ignite his fighting spirit.

Unlike the original timeline, the previous five Yama Kings were killed by Qin Chuan many years ago.

The five Yama Kings of today are all from the Bad Guys.

The Black and White Impermanence might just be used as sacrifices by Yuan Tiangang to help Li Xingyun grow.

This is something Qin Chuan doesn't want to see.

"You go."

The Empress didn't understand Qin Chuan's thoughts, and turned her head away with a slightly resentful snort.

Qin Chuan suddenly reached out and lifted her chin, smiling gently:

"You really think I've forgotten our agreement?"

He lowered his head and kissed her lips, fulfilling his bet.

Qin Chuan, dressed as a scholar in a blue robe, stood on a high slope, gazing at the city of Yuzhou.

Today's Yuzhou City is no longer what it used to be. It is no longer prosperous and peaceful, and pedestrians with anxious expressions can be seen everywhere.

As the chaos intensified, the flames of war eventually spread to the land of Sichuan and Chongqing.

In Qin Chuan's view, a young couple was walking towards the gate of Yuzhou City, chatting and laughing.

They were all around sixteen or seventeen years old, carrying knives and swords, clearly newcomers to the martial arts world.

The sound of hooves and shouts mingled as a knight rode out of the city, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The young couple quickly made way for them.

Before the two men could recover from their shock, a dozen or so riders came galloping after them.

"Get out of the way if you're dealing with the Xuanming Sect!"

"Xuanming Sect!"

The young couple's expressions changed simultaneously, and they used their lightness skills to give chase.

"Li Xingyun, Lu Linxuan, Ji Ruxue..."

Qin Chuan sighed softly:

"They've all grown up."

Before he went into seclusion, these three main characters from the world of Bad Guys were all children.

In the blink of an eye, they've all grown up so much.

"I am still young."
