The middle-aged immortal god was very shocked to get this answer.
He had initially thought Qin Hanchu possessed a spirit-shielding immortal artifact, but he never expected Qin Hanchu to have already become a soul cultivator.
Had he known this was the reason, the middle-aged man would never have sought trouble with Qin Hanchu.
Although his life was not in danger, Qin Hanchu had seized his soul-refining cultivation technique.
"I've given you the cultivation technique, so are you...?"
The middle-aged immortal god was very curious about what Qin Hanchu's cultivation technique was.
If he could obtain Qin Hanchu's soul cultivation technique, his own cultivation would likely become easier.
Qin Hanchu chuckled, this fellow still wanted to exchange with him on equal footing?
"You want it?"
The middle-aged immortal god: "This is an exchange between us."
"As long as you can make me afraid, I can exchange with you," Qin Hanchu said with a smile.
The middle-aged immortal god's expression immediately froze.
If he could make Qin Hanchu afraid, would he still need to tell Qin Hanchu his cultivation technique?
"You may leave."
Qin Hanchu considered it extremely fortunate to have obtained the Incense Forging Divine Art here.
He was already preparing to return to the Immortal Sea Main Realm.
After resolving the oath contract in the Immortal Slaying Realm, he would find a place to enter secluded cultivation peacefully and practice the Incense Forging Divine Art.
The middle-aged immortal god could not defeat Qin Hanchu, so he could only slink away.
After he left, Qin Hanchu, along with the Azure Moon Demonic Wolf, approached Jin Yu and the other person.
At this moment, both were extremely shocked. Guard Zhong, suppressing his inner shock, said, "I never expected Senior to possess such divine abilities."
"We are preparing to leave, and now I give you two choices."
"The first is to stay and cultivate Jin Yu for revenge."
"The second is to enter my world with Jin Yu and start a new life. I will take care of the Empress's life for you."
Qin Hanchu did not speak but communicated with Guard Zhong through telepathy.
These two had accompanied him for a long time. If they wished to leave, Qin Hanchu could fulfill their wishes.
Guard Zhong glanced at Jin Yu beside him. After much consideration, he said, "I am willing to take him away. It's better if he doesn't know about this hatred."
Qin Hanchu nodded and opened a portal, saying, "I will arrange for someone to make arrangements for you, and I will take care of the Empress's life."
"Thank you, Senior."
Guard Zhong expressed his thanks, and then they followed the Azure Moon Demonic Wolf into the Divine Continent Great World.
Although Jin Yu could not personally exact revenge, he also did not need to live under the shadow of hatred.
Moreover, Qin Hanchu had already stated that he would kill the Empress.
As soon as the portal closed, Qin Hanchu's divine sense locked onto the Empress.
Although the Empress was a Martial God, in Qin Hanchu's hands, she was no different from an ordinary person.
Under Qin Hanchu's control, the Empress committed suicide with a sword in her chamber.
On the way to the Immortal Sea Main Realm, Qin Hanchu imparted the Incense Forging Divine Art to Axiang.
Under his arrangement, Ji Huairou added a "golden body" for Axiang in Qin Hanchu's temple.
Those who worshipped Qin Hanchu would also worship Axiang.
As Qin Hanchu's wife, the people of the Divine Continent Great World would naturally not refuse to worship her.
With the Divine Continent Great World supplying incense for Axiang, her cultivation of the Incense Forging Divine Art was bound to be rapid.
Several years later, Qin Hanchu returned to Star Sea City in the Immortal Sea Main Realm.
He first made simple preparations in Star Sea City and then headed towards the Nine Immortal Pavilion.
The Three Immortal Pavilion was a mid-tier force in the Immortal Sea Main Realm, and they were affiliated with the foremost Immortal Pavilion of the Immortal Sea Main Realm.
According to the dying words of the Lord of the Immortal Slaying Realm, his enemy was an elder of the Three Immortal Pavilion.
After such a long time, if this person were still alive, he would definitely have become an immortal god powerhouse by now.
Three years later, Qin Hanchu arrived at Three Immortal City.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Three Immortal Pavilion's headquarters, he was stopped.
"Who goes there?"
Qin Hanchu unleashed his aura of the Immortal God Realm and said in a deep voice, "I've come to discuss some matters with your Pavilion Master."
Sensing Qin Hanchu's terrifying aura, the gatekeeper quickly lowered his stance, "Senior, please wait a moment, we will inform the Pavilion Master immediately."
Qin Hanchu grunted and then asked, "Does your Three Immortal Pavilion have someone named Shao Xingfan?"
"Are you referring to Elder Shao?"
"What is his realm?"
"Elder Shao is an immortal god realm powerhouse."
The realm matched the name, and this person was likely the one Qin Hanchu was looking for.
If he killed him, the oath contract could be dissolved.
"Senior, the Pavilion Master requests your presence."
Led by the guards of the Three Immortal Pavilion, Qin Hanchu arrived at the main hall of the Three Immortal Pavilion.
As soon as he entered the main hall, an old man with a goatee walked towards him. He smiled and bowed to Qin Hanchu, "Fellow Daoist, you have traveled far, forgive my lack of timely welcome."
"You are too kind, Fellow Daoist." Qin Hanchu returned the bow.
After a brief exchange, the Pavilion Master of the Three Immortal Pavilion asked, "May I ask what business brings you here, Fellow Daoist?"
"Does the Three Immortal Pavilion have an elder named Shao Xingfan?"
"I have some personal matters with him, may I request to meet him?"
Qin Hanchu did not beat around the bush and directly stated that he was looking for Shao Xingfan.
The Pavilion Master of the Three Immortal Pavilion frowned slightly, "May I ask if he is friend or foe?"
"It's a personal grudge, and I do not wish to involve your Three Immortal Pavilion."
Qin Hanchu had only come to fulfill the oath contract and did not want to cause a huge stir as he had before.
After all, two ancient immortal gods from the Myriad Worlds Treasure Pavilion were looking for him.
Although Qin Hanchu's strength had greatly increased now, he still found it somewhat difficult to deal with two ancient immortal gods.
For safety's sake, Qin Hanchu still needed to enter secluded cultivation to strengthen himself.
"So, Fellow Daoist has come for revenge!"
"Elder Shao is an immortal god elder of our Three Immortal Pavilion, and we cannot stand by idly regarding his affairs."
"If you seek revenge against him, then you are making an enemy of our Three Immortal Pavilion."
"If it is not a deep-seated hatred, I believe it would be better to let bygones be bygones."
"As long as Fellow Daoist is willing to turn enmity into friendship, our Three Immortal Pavilion can offer some compensation."
The expression of the Pavilion Master of the Three Immortal Pavilion turned serious. As the controller of the Three Immortal Pavilion, he naturally had to stand up for his people.
Even though it was Shao Xingfan's personal grievance, the Three Immortal Pavilion would not stand by idly.
"Since that is the case, I will not waste any more words."
"Three hours later, we shall duel at Fierce Tiger Mountain, east of the city."
"Oh, and don't forget to bring Shao Xingfan along."
After saying this, Qin Hanchu directly transformed into a streak of starlight and vanished.
Seeing this, the gaze of the Pavilion Master of the Three Immortal Pavilion suddenly contracted.
Only then did he realize that the Qin Hanchu from just now was merely a transformed clone.
A moment later, the other three immortal gods of the Three Immortal Pavilion arrived at the main hall.
Among them, a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a righteous demeanor was Shao Xingfan.
"Pavilion Master, since that person has come seeking revenge against me, I shall deal with it myself," Shao Xingfan said, having already learned of Qin Hanchu's intentions.
"That person is hostile. The three of us will accompany you," said the Pavilion Master of the Three Immortal Pavilion.
Another elder smiled, "As long as you can win yourself, the three of us won't bother to make a move."
"Then let's go, lest we keep our distinguished guest waiting."
Shao Xingfan's expression was very relaxed, clearly not taking Qin Hanchu seriously.
