Chapter 842 Nangong Qiu's Request, The Battle for Alliance Leader

"Senior, will Ye Tian be alright?"

Huang Yimei was also a little scared when she saw Lin Xuan thinking, and looked at him with concern.

Lin Xuan let out a soft breath and gently shook his head.

"Nothing will happen. Lin Yetian isn't that easy to get into trouble with, so don't worry."

Lin Xuan comforted Huang Yimei.

Lin Xuan was also uncertain, but the thought that Lin Yetian and the others all had quite high personal luck values ​​made him feel a little more relaxed.

Especially Lin Fan, whose luck is at the silver level, even approaching the gold level.

"Alright, everyone, let's leave it at that for now. We'll wait for the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering. Once it starts, we can make our own plans."

Lin Xuan had no other choice but to wait and see, figure out all the immortal realms in the Hao Ri Universe first, and then go to other universes to find the location of the Nine Cauldrons Immortal Realm.

After hearing Lin Xuan's explanation, everyone had no choice but to give up, as they had no other good options at the moment.

The story of Lin Xuan at the family banquet quickly spread throughout the Nangong family.

Nangong Qingyi found a Daoist partner at the Golden Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, the Daoist partner that Nangong Qingyi found also gave Nangong Yu's Daoist partner and Nangong Qi a good beating.

Now, no one in the Nangong family dared to underestimate Nangong Qingyi.

Although the Nangong family is very strong, the number of Golden Immortal Realm experts is also limited. In particular, the Nangong family's territory is very large, and each place needs to have a strong person to guard it. Therefore, there are no more than a hundred Golden Immortal Realm experts in the entire Nangong family's main camp.

Each and every one of them is a pillar of the Nangong family.

Lin Xuan's display of Golden Immortal-level combat power naturally attracted the attention of the Nangong family's higher-ups.

Nangong Qiu also personally came to Nangong Qingyi's courtyard at this time.

"Hehe, young friend, we meet again."

Nangong Qiu smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Qiu, the second elder of the Nangong family, whose expression changed quite quickly.

"Lin Xuan greets the Second Elder."

Lin Xuan smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to the Second Elder, treating him with equal courtesy.

Nangong Qiu showed no dissatisfaction with Lin Xuan's expression, but instead smiled and continued to ask:

"I wonder how young friend Lin came to know Nangong Qingyi of our Nangong family?"

Nangong Qiu got straight to the point, without beating around the bush.

Clearly, many high-ranking members of the Nangong family still doubted whether Lin Xuan's motives were impure.

It is inherently unreasonable for a Golden Immortal and an Earth Immortal to become Daoist partners.

Although Nangong Qingyi was exceptionally beautiful, in the eyes of cultivators, appearance was merely a minor bonus and could not affect an immortal's goal of finding a Daoist partner.

However, Lin Xuan chose Nangong Qingyi as his Daoist partner, which is quite intriguing.

Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Qingyi, and Nangong Qingyi also looked at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan smiled slightly and casually replied to Nangong Qiu:

"I know what the Second Elder wants to ask, but all I want to say is that I truly love Qingyi, and we love each other. I never choose a Daoist partner based on cultivation level or background. I, Lin Xuan, always choose a Daoist partner based on my heart."

Lin Xuan pointed to his left chest and said with a smile.

Nangong Qiu was somewhat surprised by Lin Xuan's answer, an answer he hadn't heard in hundreds of thousands of years.

"Haha, it seems that young friend Lin is a person of true character. Not bad, not bad."

Nangong Qiu stroked his beard and laughed heartily twice, but the suspicion in his eyes did not diminish as a result.

As a seasoned veteran who has been in the underworld for many years, he naturally cannot lower his guard based on the other party's one-sided story. The real test has just begun.

"You must be aware of the situation in our Haori Immortal Realm, young friend Lin."

Nangong Qiu continued to ask questions, but this time the questions were completely unrelated to the previous ones.

"Yeah, I've heard a little bit about it."

Lin Xuan remained calm and composed, responding to each move as it came.

Nangong Qiu's expression didn't change much either; he tapped his fingers on the stone table, producing a crisp tapping sound.

"It's like this, our Nangong family is facing a big problem right now. The patriarch and the Grand Elder have some disagreements on which side to take. So, at this World Conference, they naturally chose to stand on their own side. This is definitely not a good thing for our Nangong family. I hope that you, young friend Lin, can help me with this matter."

Lin Xuan was somewhat confused by what the Second Elder, Nangong Qiu, said.

"How can I help you?"

Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Qiu with some curiosity.

"That's right. The actual initiator of this Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals is the Haori Alliance, specifically the leader of the Haori Alliance, Immortal King Chengde. This can be seen as a contest between the Haori Alliance and the Haori Immortal Kingdom. However, to avoid too many casualties, the Immortal King level experts will not participate. Instead, they have agreed to have a competition among experts under 100,000 years old. Whoever wins will be the true master of the Haori Universe."

Nangong Qiu's words left Lin Xuan completely confused, so what did this have to do with him?

The Nangong family has placed bets on both sides, so what does it matter to them who wins or loses?

"I'm sure you have a lot of questions now, young friend. Hehe, let me explain this to you slowly."

Nangong Qiu chuckled as he looked at Lin Xuan.

"Actually, the reason why Nangong Yang and Nangong Yue came back this time is because of this matter. Among those under 100,000 years old, the strongest in our Nangong family are Nangong Yang and Nangong Yue, but we need three people, so I hope that young friend Lin can help us."

“Three people, best two out of three, that’s easy to understand, but I want to know, who is the Nangong family’s opponent? The Haori Alliance, or the Haori Immortal Kingdom?”

Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Qiu intently.

"Neither." Nangong Qiu shook his head.

Everyone seemed a little confused.

"Our enemy is evil spirits!"

"An evil spirit?!"

Roger, Tianjue, and the others were all shocked. How did this get involved with evil spirits?

"What do you mean?"

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat puzzled.

Nangong Qiu continued with a smile, "The Immortal King who betrayed the Haori Immortal Kingdom and sided with the evil spirits has returned to the Haori Immortal Realm!"

"Such a thing actually happened?"

Lin Xuan was somewhat curious. Weren't there immortal emperors from other universes chasing after this traitor? He didn't expect him to dare to come back.

Nangong Qiu gave a bitter laugh.

"It is said that the situation between the Celestial Clan and the major empires and the evil spirits is very tense. All the higher-level experts have gathered up there. Now there is no Celestial Emperor who can keep an eye on the evil spirits in our Hao Ri Celestial Domain. So the traitors naturally dare to come back at this time, attempting to seek revenge."

What the idiot Qiu said wasn't hard to understand; it meant that the guy who had sided with evil spirits had returned.

"so what?"

Lin Xuan was still somewhat confused. Shouldn't this be a battle between the Hao Ri Immortal Realm and the evil spirits?

"The evil spirit is full of evil energy, but the traitor is a real human. We only know that he has returned, but we don't know exactly where he is now. However, we are certain that he will appear at the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, and he may even appear in an unexpected way."

"I'm just a newcomer to the Golden Immortal Realm, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help to you."

Lin Xuan didn't want to get involved in this mess; it was too deep, and he wasn't entirely confident he could extricate himself from it.

"No, we need you just the way we need you. The Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom has made a challenge, and I feel that the Hao Ze Immortal King is hesitating. If we don't seize the opportunity, they might even defect to the evil side!"

Nangong Qiu's expression was very serious.

Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised. Had he switched sides to the evil forces?

"Second Elder, how dare they! Last time, the Celestial Emperor from the outer universe descended and forcefully annihilated two of their Celestial Kings. Haven't they learned their lesson?!"

Nangong Qingyi was also very excited when she heard this.

The Second Elder, Nangong Qiu, simply smiled and shook his head.

"The Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom was once the absolute ruler of the Hao Ri Immortal Domain. It was because two of their Immortal Kings were killed and one of them defected that the Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom's leadership position was lost forever. Immortal King Hao Ze and Immortal King Hao Yu have long been very dissatisfied with our human race. They also have extremely strong hatred for the Hao Ri Alliance, but they still have some rationality. Otherwise, they would have already sided with the evil spirits and launched an attack on us."

"I suspect that the traitor from Haori Immortal Kingdom may have already returned and even spoken with Haoze Immortal King, which is why Haoze Immortal King proposed adding a competition to the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly to determine the winner."

"Whoever emerges as the final victor will become the true leader of the Hao Ri Immortal Realm!"

Lin Xuan finally got things sorted out.

Clearly, Immortal King Haoze still possesses reason, but he has already harbored thoughts of siding with evil spirits. Therefore, he is taking this opportunity to test his own heart, which can also be seen as a way to find psychological comfort.

Furthermore, this battle is not between the Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom and the Hao Ri Alliance, but rather between the two countries fighting their own battles.

The Nangong family and the Divine Thunder Palace are both members of the alliance, but now they are also rivals.

The Nangong family is still missing one Golden Immortal under the age of 100,000, so Lin Xuan is naturally the most suitable candidate.

"Young friend Lin, we sincerely hope that you can help our Nangong family. If we can win, we will not only be able to avert a disaster for the Haori Immortal Domain, but also allow the Nangong family to take the position of leader of the alliance and become the ruler of the Haori Immortal Domain."

Nangong Qiu looked at Lin Xuan with unusually earnest eyes.

Lin Xuan was still thinking. If he chose to help Nangong Qiu, he would be making enemies of other major powers and having to confront evil spirits head-on.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xuan decided that it would be best to play it safe, but he still agreed.

Looking at Lin Xuan, Nangong Qingyi wasn't being narcissistic, but she felt that Lin Xuan's agreement with the Second Elder was largely due to her.

"Alright, alright, then I thank you very much, young friend Lin. Now that you've come to our Nangong family, please make yourself at home!"

Nangong Qiu was also extremely excited to see Lin Xuan agree.

Judging solely from the spatial divine power that Lin Xuan displayed, his combat strength is probably no less than that of Nangong Yang and Nangong Yue.

With one more powerful individual, the Nangong family would naturally have one more hope.

The First Elder and the Clan Chief of the Nangong family have finally reached an agreement, so as the Second Elder, he naturally needs to do his part.

If the Nangong family becomes the leader of the alliance, they will be able to receive more resources!

"Alright, then I'll accept your offer without hesitation. Thank you very much, Second Elder."

Lin Xuan accepted the offer from the Nangong family. Although he was only helping because of Nangong Qingyi, he had agreed to it, so the Nangong family needed to show some sincerity.

Nangong Qiu was also very generous, immediately giving away a large amount of resources, all of which were given to Lin Xuan for free.

Nangong Qingyi also benefited from Lin Xuan's influence; the resources she obtained this time were more than all the resources she could have obtained in the Nangong family in the past!

"Alright, I hope you can lend me your full support for the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering a year from now!"

Nangong Qiu and Lin Xuan chatted idly for a few minutes before leaving the Nangong family.

Lin Xuan watched Nangong Qiu leave, then looked at Nangong Qingyi.

"Hehe, it seems I'm going to be tricked by your Nangong family this time."

Lin Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.

Nangong Qingyi pouted and said, "I didn't expect that the Second Elder would personally come to invite you to fight for our Nangong family."

"This is the result, and I only look at the result. You have to pay the price for this."

"What price?"

"what!"

Before Nangong Qingyi could finish speaking, she was already suspended in mid-air and held in Lin Xuan's arms.

"A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Anyway, there is still a long time before the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, so we must make the most of this time."

"When I first met you, I thought you were so serious and proper, but now you..."

"Hmm? Don't you like it?"

Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Qingyi, whom he was holding in his arms, with amusement.

Nangong Qingyi's pretty face flushed, her eyes were glazed, and she mumbled something but couldn't speak.

"Hmm? What's wrong, not going to say anything?"

Lin Xuan slapped Nangong Qingyi's pert buttocks, and Nangong Qingyi couldn't help but let out a soft moan, then buried her face in Lin Xuan's chest in embarrassment.

"Hi, I like..."

The sound was as faint as the flapping of a mosquito's wings, but Lin Xuan's level of cultivation allowed him to clearly hear and hear all the words.

"If you like it, then we can come again."

With the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals still a year away, major powers from all over the Haori Universe set off for the Haori Immortal Realm.

The already bustling Haori Immortal Realm became even more lively, with almost 80% of the experts from the Haori Universe gathered here.

The Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals was hosted by the Haori Alliance, which naturally held it in a grand manner in order to establish its prestige.

The Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom remained completely silent.

"What? You haven't thought it through yet?"

Four figures stood in the main hall of the Haori Immortal Kingdom.

Among them were two figures dressed in yellow robes, none other than the ruler of the Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom, Hao Yu Immortal King, and the Supreme Emperor, Hao Ze Immortal King.

The person standing to the side of Immortal King Haoze was dressed in black, with intricate dark green runes embroidered on the clothes, making him look extremely strange.

"Haofeng is an evil spirit, an enemy of all living beings."

Haoze's voice sounded very old.

"Heh, you're really getting old. The power of the evil race is beyond your imagination!"

"Only by following the evil race can our Hao family become a truly super family!"
