Facing the seven people before him, Qin Hanchu let out a cold smile.
The greatest threat was dealt with, and the remaining seven posed little danger.
Zhou Chongshan had designed this scheme to kill so many Immortal King cultivators, but in the end, it benefited Qin Hanchu and the other three.
"Submit or die. Make your choice."
"Unless you have trump cards that can counter all four of us."
As he spoke, Qin Hanchu's Mu Qing Sword began to glow.
A Xiang waved her hand, and supreme immortal artifacts surrounded her.
"It's not certain who will die! If you have the guts, use that move you just employed again."
The moment the words left her lips, the seven men attacked in unison.
They were bound by a sworn oath, so they could not betray their teammates.
A Xiang waved her hand, and her mirror-like space trapped five of their opponents.
Qin Hanchu and the other two then focused their efforts on the remaining two outside the mirror space.
These two were no match for Qin Hanchu and his companions, and within half an hour, they were slain by the trio.
A Xiang maintained control of her divine ability and released two more individuals.
When these two saw the situation clearly, they knew they were doomed!
The two teammates who had disappeared earlier were dead, and now, facing the siege of Qin Hanchu and the other two, their fate would also be death.
"We submit!"
Not wanting to die, they quickly begged for mercy.
Qin Hanchu did not kill them but had them sign sworn oath contracts.
With the surrender of the two, A Xiang released the remaining three.
"Now it's four against three. Do you still intend to fight?"
Although they had gained two servants, these two were bound by the sworn oaths of the other three, so they could not assist Qin Hanchu and his companions in attacking.
Even without their help, Qin Hanchu and his companions had the upper hand against the remaining three.
Seeing their companions standing still, the remaining three knew they had been subdued.
The three exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness.
Qin Hanchu wasted no words and directly presented three sworn oath contracts.
The three had no choice; if they didn't want to die, they had to submit.
They successively imprinted their spiritual senses onto the sworn oath contracts, becoming Qin Hanchu's servants.
"Let A Xiang take charge of this tomb for now. We'll distribute the spoils later," Qin Hanchu said to Dragon Lord and Patriarch Baili.
The two nodded, agreeing to Qin Hanchu's arrangement.
In just half an hour, A Xiang had taken control of the tomb.
She took out two supreme immortal artifacts and presented them to Dragon Lord and Patriarch Baili, respectively.
Although these supreme immortal artifacts did not match their current laws, they could cultivate matching laws, thereby enabling them to use these supreme immortal artifacts.
The four were an alliance, and as their strength increased, the team's strength would also grow.
After distributing the supreme immortal artifacts, A Xiang proceeded to allocate the immortal crystals.
As she and Qin Hanchu had contributed the most, they received a greater share of the benefits.
"Zhou Chongshan's head has been secured, but should we really return to the mission hall to hand in the task?"
"This matter is probably not that simple."
Dragon Lord felt that Zhou Chongshan's pursuit was not solely due to his killing the scions of powerful families.
This tomb might be the true reason.
If they returned to hand in the task, it would be equivalent to informing those with intentions that this tomb was in their possession.
A Xiang understood Dragon Lord's meaning and looked at the five people beside her. "Let them go claim the reward."
Dragon Lord smiled and nodded. "That's true."
The five knew they were being set up as scapegoats, but having chosen to surrender, they could only obey orders.
Half a month later, Qin Hanchu and his entourage returned to Ancient Dao City.
Under Qin Hanchu's command, the five took Zhou Chongshan's head to complete the mission.
As soon as they left the mission hall after receiving their rewards, they were targeted.
Fortunately, Qin Hanchu and the others had already made plans.
When the five entered the inn, they used the crowd to slip away to Qin Hanchu's room.
Within the city, no one below the Immortal God realm could use their spiritual senses.
It was precisely because of this rule that they were lost.
Qin Hanchu and the other three left the inn. They first purchased the information they needed and then returned to the Divine Continent through the teleportation array.
Upon returning to the Divine Continent, Qin Hanchu immediately sensed the presence of the old man.
"Immortal Venerable realm!"
Sensing the old man's cultivation, Qin Hanchu was somewhat shocked.
He hadn't expected a cultivator of the Immortal Venerable realm to have arrived in his world.
Fortunately, he had strengthened the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Continent beforehand, otherwise, it would have been unable to contend with this old man.
Although the old man was in the Immortal Venerable realm, with his solitary strength, he couldn't suppress the Dragon Vein in a short period.
"Immortal Venerable realm. If a fight breaks out, it will still be quite taxing," A Xiang's tone was somewhat somber.
Although they had killed Zhou Chongshan earlier, it was with the aid of the Suanni Immortal Bone's power.
The current Suanni Immortal Bone no longer possessed its previous terrifying strength; it was akin to just a supreme immortal artifact.
If this Immortal Venerable also possessed a supreme immortal artifact, then Qin Hanchu and the others' chances of winning would be even lower.
"You all enter the Slaughter Immortal Realm to cultivate first. I'll go talk to Huairou."
"If he hasn't done anything to threaten the Divine Continent, we'll temporarily go into seclusion and not provoke him for now."
Qin Hanchu held a significant advantage in the Divine Continent.
However, Qin Hanchu still hoped to have a greater certainty before making a move.
After all, there was a major realm difference between the two, and the gap was quite substantial.
"Be careful," A Xiang reminded him, then entered the Slaughter Immortal Realm with Dragon Lord and the other.
As the Lord of the Divine Continent, Qin Hanchu was not afraid of being discovered by the old man.
On his own territory, even if the old man was in the Immortal Venerable realm, he would not be able to detect Qin Hanchu's presence.
A few days later, Qin Hanchu suddenly appeared at Ji Huairou's residence.
"Hanchu, you're back?" Ji Huairou was startled by Qin Hanchu's sudden appearance.
"What has that old fellow done since he arrived?"
Since Qin Hanchu asked this, he naturally knew of the old man's existence.
Ji Huairou replied, "When he first arrived, he seemed injured. During this period, as long as he was well-fed and cared for, he hasn't done anything else."
Qin Hanchu nodded. "Alright, then I'll find a place to cultivate. As long as he doesn't do anything out of line, I won't show myself for now."
"Where will you cultivate?" Ji Huairou asked.
Qin Hanchu pondered and said, "Is that villa I had in the Demon Capital still there?"
"No, but I can arrange another one for you."
The reason Qin Hanchu didn't return to his island was that the old man had set up a formation there.
If he returned, the old man would be able to detect him.
It was for this reason that he had asked Ji Huairou to arrange a new residence for him.
The next morning, Qin Hanchu moved into a luxurious villa in Hangzhou City.
After settling in, he began to use the Life and Death Pills to enhance his Life and Death Laws.
Upon obtaining the Tomb of the Cold Emperor, Qin Hanchu had purchased a large amount of resources.
If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to break through to the Immortal Venerable realm.
