Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: A Famous Name in Qingzhou

Su Han’s life-and-death duel with Qian Xuan had ended, but the turmoil it caused was just beginning.

Who was Qian Xuan? He was the Great Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, the star disciple of Tianxuan Peak, and the peerless prodigy at the top of the Qingyun List. So many titles had made his name famous throughout Qingzhou, known to tens of thousands.

But now, he was dead, slain in a life-and-death duel. How could this not shock people?

Inside the Seven Stars Sect, discussions were rife. Many of Qian Xuan’s die-hard fans spontaneously denounced Su Han, but with Su Han remaining on Yaoguang Peak, they could only protest impotently.

Outside the Seven Stars Sect, the entirety of Qingzhou was also shaken by this event.

In the Tianqing Dynasty, Wang Tianqing was cultivating inside the palace when he received the news, which almost drove him to demonification.

BOOM!

A palace was reduced to ruins by the furious Wang Tianqing. Countless guards and maids dropped to the ground, shivering, not knowing why their king was so enraged.

”Su Han!” Wang Tianqing’s eyes were bloodshot, his veins bulging. He was utterly livid as he ground his teeth, completely unable to accept the news.

Su Han was indeed his biological son, but Wang Tianqing had never paid him much attention. He had many sons, and Su Han had never been particularly outstanding. Furthermore, Su Han’s mother had committed suicide by jumping into a well long ago. As a result, the bond between them was very weak.

During the autumn examinations, Su Han had risen like a dark horse, defeating the Great Crown Prince Su Tian and nearly killing him. This had enraged Wang Tianqing, but due to Tongyan’s threats, he ultimately had no choice but to let Su Han leave.

He had thought his grievances with Su Han would end there, but he never expected Su Han to be so audacious as to exterminate the Qin Family and kill the Empress. This enraged him beyond measure, and he resolved to uphold justice by executing his own kin.

Unfortunately, Su Han had managed to escape. The talent and strength he had displayed left Wang Tianqing unable to rest easy. He was constantly worried that Su Han would return for revenge. When that happened, not only would his throne be at risk, but his very life might be in jeopardy. He could do without sons or concubines, but his throne was his lifeblood, and he only had one life to lose.

For days, he had been pinning his hopes on Qin Wushuang, hoping he could deal with Su Han and eliminate the threat. But he never imagined that after waiting day and night, this would be the news he received.

Qian Xuan was dead, Qin Wushuang was confined for a year of reflection, and not only had Su Han grown stronger, but he also had Lei Ming as his backer. This was terrible news.

No, I can’t just sit here and wait for death! I can’t place all my hopes on my father-in-law. I need to take action myself!

Wang Tianqing’s face grew ferocious as he rapidly considered his options. Finally, three words emerged in his mind: Demon Slayer Sect.

The Demon Slayer Sect was a notorious assassins organization in the Eastern Region. Its ranks were a chaotic mix of members, including demonic experts, righteous powerhouses, and even members of the Demon Race and other special races. The sect was formidably strong; it was said their leader was a powerful Saint. They operated on a single creed: Take the money, eliminate the problem.

As long as you paid the price, they dared to assassinate anyone, even a Saint.

To eradicate the hidden threat of Su Han, Wang Tianqing decided to offer a hefty sum to hire an assassin from the Demon Slayer Sect.

”Su Han, don’t blame me for being ruthless,” he growled. ”If you don’t die, I can’t sleep at night!”

A cold light flashed in Wang Tianqing’s eyes as he made his decision.

At that moment, inside the palace of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Great Qian King was also furiously smashing everything in sight.

”Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!” the Great Qian King roared, his bellows shaking the heavens. A ferocious aura emanated from him, making the entire palace tremble.

He was the ruler of the Great Qian Dynasty, but he had been stuck at the Heavenly King Realm Ninth Level for many years. He was unable to break through, and it was possible he never would in this lifetime. However, the Three Dragons of his nation were his greatest pride. He held great hope that they would achieve great things in their cultivation, leading the Great Qian Dynasty to new heights and helping it become an Immortal Dynasty.

Qian Xing, Qian Yuan, and Qian Xuan—all three possessed one-in-ten-thousand Special Physiques and had been accepted into the Seven Stars Sect, securing them a limitless future.

But everything had changed with Su Han’s appearance. First Qian Xing was killed, then Qian Yuan fell, and now even Qian Xuan, the one with the highest Innate and greatest strength, had died by his hand.

Hope had turned to despair. How could the Great Qian King not be furious? If not for the news of Lei Ming’s uproar at the Seven Stars Sect, he might have already stormed the sect to demand an explanation. Now with Lei Ming being so protective, even Mu Qingyun was powerless. Since he had not yet reached the Supreme Realm, he naturally did not dare to hold the sect accountable. However, his rage and killing intent for Su Han were unprecedentedly strong.

My son cannot have died in vain! Su Han, I will never let you go! I don’t believe you can stay in the Seven Stars Sect forever. The moment you dare to step out, I will make you understand what it means to live a life worse than death!

The Great Qian King’s eyes looked as if they would split with rage. He raised his hand and tore everything in the palace to shreds, imagining it was Su Han. Soon, his orders were issued. Wanted posters were plastered everywhere, calling for Su Han’s capture—dead or alive.

In the Tiayun Dynasty, King Tian Yunshan also quickly learned of the news.

”To think that even Qian Xuan of the Great Qian Dynasty was no match for him and was publicly beheaded... My son must have died by his hand. My poor child, rest assured, I will avenge you.” His face was grim, his heart filled with intense hatred. ”Su Han must die, and Tongyan must die! I won’t let a single one of your killers escape!”

Though he had no evidence, his intuition told him that Su Han and Tongyan were the murderers.

Unfortunately, Tongyan has already left Qingzhou, and I’m powerless to pursue her. But Su Han is still here. I believe it’s only a matter of time before he returns, and that will be my chance for vengeance. For killing my son and stealing from my treasury... this is a feud that will only end in death!

Wang Tianqing, the Great Qian King, and Tian Yunshan—three mighty experts of the Heavenly King Realm now hated Su Han to the bone for their own reasons. Each one was now gearing up to strike, their sights locked on Su Han, waiting for any chance to lunge forward and tear him to pieces.

The crisis Su Han faced came not only from within the Seven Stars Sect but also from without.

Besides these three nations, others also heard the news, and soon discussions erupted everywhere, the topic burning hot.

”Qian Xuan is actually dead, slain publicly by Su Han. Doesn’t that make Su Han the new number one on the Qingyun List?”

”Being number one on the Qingyun List means he’s the foremost figure of Qingzhou’s younger generation. I heard this Su Han is from the Tianqing Dynasty. Who would have thought such a small country could produce a figure like him?”

”Don’t forget, Su Han has also made many enemies. Whether he can even live long enough to reach his potential is still a question. Let’s just wait and see!”

People chattered endlessly. Every corner of Qingzhou was buzzing about the matter.

This time, the name Su Han truly shook the entirety of Qingzhou.
