To be honest, I've cut it!

Qiongying Immortal Mansion, Extreme Ice Immortal Palace.

Inside the main hall.

Qin Jian's words were startling. As his calm voice fell, all the female cultivators from the Immortal Palace changed their expressions, revealing surprise.

"Join forces? To kill the Desolate Heavenly Emperor?"

Susha snapped out of her daze, gave Qin Jian a deep look, and found it laughable. Who gave you the courage?

At the head of the main hall.

Han Xingmian narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of killing intent flashing in them, and then asked, "Kill the Desolate Heavenly Emperor?"

"Does Sect Leader Qin know his whereabouts?"

She didn't rush to agree or disagree; instead, a thought struck her—did Qin Jian have a specific plan?

Does he know where the Desolate Heavenly Emperor is?

Qin Jian secretly observed Han Xingmian's reaction, and when he heard her ask that question, he thought he had made the right bet.

His decision to seek out Han Xingmian this time was indeed partly a gamble...

Based on the currently revealed Diary, it is clear that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor infiltrated the Extreme Ice Immortal Palace with ulterior motives and deceived Han Xingmian.

It's no secret that Han Xingmian has been sending people to search for the whereabouts of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor ever since he returned to Nine Provinces.

Based on this information, Qin Jian concluded that she had a grudge against the Desolate Heavenly Emperor!

This is retaliation!

If that's the case, then the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, together with the Extreme Ice Immortal Palace, would have an even greater chance of defeating the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Moreover, Qin Jian now has other people secretly supporting him.

Qin Jian pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "I know nothing about the whereabouts of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor!"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Han Xingmian's eyes, and he immediately lost interest.

At this moment, Qin Jian continued, "However, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor has deep feelings for many forces in the Nine Provinces, such as the Xuanqing Sect, or the Jade Pool Holy Land, the Liyue Immortal Dynasty..."

As Qin Jian spoke, his tone suddenly turned cold, filled with murderous intent, and he said, "If we join forces and slaughter these forces one by one, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor will surely be unable to resist making a move!"

"That will be the perfect time to get rid of him!"

Han Xingmian gave him a deep look, her smile widening, and suddenly asked:

"Sect Master Qin, you've got guts! But aren't you afraid that when the Desolate Heavenly Emperor appears, he'll be the first to destroy you?"

Qin Jian's face turned ashen, he gritted his teeth, and thought to himself, "I wish I had the guts, but I don't!"

"This is all the fault of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. How could he be so cruel?"

Moreover, he wasn't sure if Han Xingmian said it on purpose, but it made him extremely uncomfortable.

Having endured it all this time, and now needing Han Xingmian, Qin Jian had no choice but to suppress his anger.

If he doesn't obtain the secret techniques of the Mudball Ancestral Palace, he'll never have a chance to grow back in this lifetime...

Qin Jian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Then there's no need for the Palace Master to worry!"

He looked directly at Han Xingmian and said with unwavering determination, "I guarantee that if the Desolate Heavenly Emperor dares to show himself, he will surely die!"

Han Xingmian's eyes narrowed slightly; she didn't know where Qin Jian got the courage to speak so firmly.

Currently, none of the Realm Master of the various Immortal Mansion dare to claim a guaranteed victory over the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. What makes Qin Jian so confident?

But judging from his tone, it doesn't sound fake.

This made Han Xingmian somewhat worried. With all the immortal Immortal Mansion returning to the Nine Provinces, some old monsters hiding underwater were also becoming restless.

The current situation is far more complex than it appears on the surface.

Just as she was wondering, Qin Jian's voice rang out again, perhaps knowing her confusion, and he explained:

"Palace Master Han, do you think that no matter how strong the Desolate Heavenly Emperor is, he can be stronger than a true immortal?"

Han Xingmian's pupils suddenly dilated, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Her eyes were fixed intently on Qin Jian in front of her!

Could it be that those Immortal Mansion have truly reappeared?

Did Qin Jian's courage stem from this?

Han Xingmian's mind raced, countless thoughts and possibilities flashing through her mind in an instant.

She deduced that Qin Jian must know some inside information, so there was no need for him to come here specifically to lie to her!

Where did those immortals go? Why did they disappear, and why did they return at this particular time?

"Most importantly..."

"Is the return of those immortals good or bad for the Nine Provinces? What are their true purposes?"

Qin Jian knew that Han Xingmian's heart must be filled with complicated emotions at this moment.

He sat down and drank his tea, not in a hurry.

In fact, when he first found out, he couldn't believe it until he saw a former immortal in the Azure Mystic Immortal Mansion!

Having witnessed the insurmountable gap between immortals and mortals, he finally believed that it was absolutely true.

Those immortals who had vanished have truly returned!

From that moment on, Qin Jian made up his mind to follow Shen Baixiu and Shentu Lie. They could even mobilize immortals, so what was there to worry about!

What is the Desolate Heavenly Emperor anyway?

It should be noted that in Shen Baixiu and the others' plan, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor was only one of them.

All the hidden emperors must be found, made to submit to the Azure Mystic Immortal Mansion, or be eliminated.

As for the recent troubles of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, it was naturally Shen Baixiu who resolved them.

Of course, the Nine Heavens Sword Sect also paid a considerable price for this.

Time passed little by little...

Han Xingmian grew increasingly alarmed as the situation became more and more complicated.

There is no way to solve it!

With the return of immortals, all major powers will likely face another storm. The only way to protect themselves is to Tribulation Transcendence and become an immortal!

"But what if the appearance of the immortals is simply to force everyone to Tribulation Transcendence?"

"Wouldn't this be exactly what we wanted?"

Han Xingmian frowned, suddenly thinking of Lin Feng. Where had he gone?

If they don't come back soon, all the cultivators in the world will be wiped out!

Even her Extreme Ice Immortal Palace couldn't escape it!

After finishing his third cup of tea, Qin Jian looked up and said somewhat impatiently, "Palace Master Han, what has your decision been?"

Han Xingmian was silent for a moment, then asked:

"Sect Master Qin, since this is a collaboration, what else does my Extreme Ice Immortal Palace need to contribute?"

Qin Jian's face lit up with joy, thinking things were about to work out. He laughed and said, "To be honest, I'm extremely interested in the Mudball Secret Art of the Immortal Palace!"

After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent again.

Susha and the others on both sides of the main hall subtly glared at Qin Jian; this man's true colors had finally been revealed.

A moment later, Han Xingmian suddenly smiled and asked meaningfully:

"Sect Leader Qin, you... you really cut it off?"

Upon hearing this, Susha and the other female cultivators from the Immortal Palace almost burst out laughing, unable to suppress their amusement.

Both pairs of eyes simultaneously fell upon Qin Jian.

Qin Jian's face flushed red. He was, after all, the head of a sect, a man of noble status. He never expected Han Xingmian to ask him such an embarrassing question in front of him.

He was about to deny it, but after opening his mouth, he didn't say anything.

Qin Jian suddenly realized that since everyone already knew the truth, he might as well just admit it.

This way, Han Xingmian will also know how deep his hatred for the Desolate Heavenly Emperor is, thus strengthening their cooperation!

With this thought in mind, Qin Jian gritted his teeth, his face flushed, and said, "To be honest, I really did... cut it off!"

He spoke those two words as if his heart was bleeding.

"Giggle giggle..."

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, not only did no doctoral supervisor sympathize with him, but this female demon, Han Xingmian, actually burst into laughter in front of everyone.

Immediately afterward, Susha and the other female cultivators, seeing that the Palace Master was laughing, couldn't help but burst into laughter themselves.

Qin Jian was stunned, his head was buzzing, and the laughter sounded particularly grating to him!

What's the meaning?

I'm here to discuss cooperation. I'm a guest, after all. Are you really not going to give me any face at all?

Is this how your Extreme Ice Immortal Palace treats its guests?

Qin Jian was furious and was about to speak when Han Xingmian's voice rang out first.

She suppressed a laugh and said softly, "Sect Leader Qin, I feel deeply sorry for what happened to you... cough, please accept my condolences."

Qin Jian's expression softened slightly.

Then Han Xingmian's voice came again. "However, I'm really sorry, but I will not cooperate with eunuchs!"

Qin Jian felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and he trembled with rage, almost spitting out blood.
