The Nine Nether Underworld Emperor stopped ten meters before Qin Jun and the other two. He appraised Qin Jun with interest and smiled. "You must be the Sacred Emperor Qin. Quite a fine figure, ninth level of the True Immortal Realm, astonishing talent. Not bad, not bad. You're far better than my youngest son."
His youngest son was naturally Young Master You.
Qin Jun raised a brow and fearlessly asked, "What, is even the Underworld Emperor, second on the Hero Ranking, interested in the Immortal Tomb?"
He deliberately reminded the Nine Nether Underworld Emperor: With such a lofty status, did he really have the nerve to snatch it?
"Hmph, the treasures within the Immortal Tomb are not my goal." The Nine Nether Underworld Emperor snorted arrogantly. As he spoke, he looked past Qin Jun and the other two toward the Sword Master, smiling. "Sword Master, could it be that you truly do not know why I came?"
"Tsk, tsk. You really are impressive. Out of four passageways, you picked the right one immediately."
Faced with the Nine Nether Underworld Emperor's gaze, the Sword Master's eyes turned slightly cold. He said softly, "Your plan may very well overturn heaven and earth. I fear you have not thought it through properly!"
A plan?
Qin Jun narrowed his eyes. He could not help backing away, allowing the Nine Nether Underworld Emperor and the Sword Master to face off directly.
"We have been trapped beneath this heaven for far too long. If we wish to rise to a higher level, we must break through heaven!" the Nine Nether Underworld Emperor said coldly, his tone filled with resentment.
The Sword Master fell silent. His seven swords continued circling before him, their blades pointed directly at the Nine Nether Underworld Emperor.
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
