Chapter 1473 - Chapter 1473 Chapter 1571 Suspected Immortal

Chapter 1473: Chapter 1571: Suspected Immortal Chapter 1473: Chapter 1571: Suspected Immortal In the Sky Open Palace, the Green Robe Guest from Hidden Kill Hall made his appearance before the ruler of Qing Nation.

Qin Emperor sat solemnly on the dragon throne, indifferently watching the Green Robe Guest, seemingly unsurprised by this sudden appearance.

“Greetings to Your Majesty.” The Green Robe Guest bowed deeply, his face bearing a warm, spring-like smile, which would deceive anyone unfamiliar with his reputation in Hidden Kill Hall as a formidable figure, into thinking he was a humble, well-read scholar.

“Entering my Sky Open Palace, aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to leave?” The Qin Emperor spoke faintly, his eyes emitting a sharp light.

The Green Robe Guest opened the paper fan in his hands, gently fanning himself, and said: “I am but of a meager life. If Your Majesty wishes it, he may take it.”

“Very well, I shall take your life!” Qin Emperor immediately responded, and with a fierce slap on the golden dragon head of the throne’s armrest.

Instantly, inside the Sky Open Palace, countless longswords abruptly appeared, densely packed and countless in number, all aimed at the Green Robe Guest. Each sword surged with an extremely powerful aura, seemingly ready to penetrate the Green Robe Guest with thousands of swords at the mere flick of Qin Emperor’s finger.

The Green Robe Guest looked around, observing the longswords aimed at him, the smile on his face growing even brighter.

“Before Your Majesty executes me, allow me to say a few words,” the Green Robe Guest said with a smile.

However, Qin Emperor did not pay him any heed, and with a slight squint of his eyes, those numerous longswords whizzed towards the Green Robe Guest.

For a moment, the Sky Open Palace was overwhelmed with surging sword Qi and flashing cold lights.

Unperturbed, the Green Robe Guest gently waved the paper fan in his hand, and the surrounding longswords instantly halted, unable to advance even slightly.

“Dare to resist in front of me?” Qin Emperor spoke with authority, rising from the dragon throne.

Qin Emperor’s stature was very imposing; as he slowly stood up from the dragon throne, he exuded a mighty presence akin to mountains and seas, similar to a great sun illuminating all directions of Qing Nation.

The Green Robe Guest let out a soft hum, his face turning somewhat pale, with a trace of bitter smile at the corners of his mouth.

“Your Majesty is indeed the most powerful emperor in the history of Qing Nation. I am but a mere scholar and dare not contend with Your Majesty. I ask for Your Majesty’s forgiveness,” the Green Robe Guest said, slightly bowing to Qin Emperor.

“Now you know your crime, trespassing into my Sky Open Palace, especially being from Hidden Kill Hall, truly reckless,” Qin Emperor looked down at the Green Robe Guest, flicked his finger, and suddenly one of the numerous longswords flew out, directly severing the palm holding the paper fan.

The palm, along with the paper fan, fell to the ground. The Green Robe Guest’s expression remained unchanged, the bleeding from his severed wrist instantly stopped.

“Having cut off one of your hands, now state your purpose.” Qin Emperor spoke, gesturing with his hand causing the swords to retreat.

The Green Robe Guest picked up the bloodied paper fan with his other hand, then said, “I am here to deliver some intelligence regarding Sky Swallowing Palace to Your Majesty.”

“Speak!” Qin Emperor didn’t waste any words and directly prompted the Green Robe Guest to disclose the intelligence he brought.

Green Robe Guest did not look directly at Qin Emperor, for he knew that the ruler of Qing Nation did not like being looked at directly.

“Currently at Sky Swallowing Palace, the identities of the mask-wearing individuals are known; Tiger-Head Mask is the Martial Arts prodigy Juechen from a century ago, Cat Mask is Han Luoyun, the former Purple Mist Sect Master from Qian Country and the second daughter Han Xiaoxing. Although it has not been confirmed, the person behind the White Crane Mask should be Nangong Shoujian, the last unparalleled leader of the Sword Tao from eight hundred years ago, and the person behind White Fox Mask, whose origins are even more significant, seems to be the Demon Clan’s Sky-Swallowing Fox who nearly secured the position of Demon Saint seven years ago,” Green Robe Guest slowly said.

Qin Emperor listened to this, his face showing little emotion, seeming indifferent to these so-called pieces of intelligence.

“With the capabilities of Hidden Kill Hall, do you only know the identities of these four masked individuals?” Qin Emperor spoke, with a hint of disdain.

Green Robe Guest sighed lightly, “Sky Swallowing Palace indeed possesses significant strength. To know the identities of these few masked individuals is already quite an achievement. My disciple, Wind Monarch, even lost his life for this. However, these masked individuals are relatively easier to deal with, the main concern is the Sky Swallowing Palace Master.”

“Have you seen the Sky Swallowing Palace Master?” Qin Emperor raised his eyebrows, as he was quite curious about the Palace Master; given that his subordinates were already formidable, the Palace Master himself must be terrifying.

Green Robe Guest smiled faintly, “I have not personally met him, but other experts from my Hidden Kill Hall have already experienced his strength. The identity of the Sky Swallowing Palace Master is secondary; his power, however, is quite frightening.”

“Speak in detail!” Qin Emperor demanded, not interested in hearing Green Robe Guest’s idle chatter.

“Suspected Immortal!” Green Robe Guest uttered these four words, causing Qin Emperor’s expression to finally show some change.

Having said this, Green Robe Guest glanced at Qin Emperor and continued, “The battle to eradicate Sky Swallowing Palace will undoubtedly be extremely challenging, but this is a joint effort of Hidden Kill Hall, Pill Alliance, and Upper Three Countries. As long as the three parties unite, Sky Swallowing Palace will be destroyed.”

“I have already promised Western Moon, and I will naturally make a move,” Qin Emperor stated coldly.

Green Robe Guest said, “Although Qin Emperor has agreed, how much effort will you really exert?”

“How much effort I exert is my own affair; it’s not up to your Hidden Kill Hall to point fingers,” Qin Emperor replied, his gaze sharp, filled with the authority of a superior.

Green Robe Guest chuckled, “Naturally, Hidden Kill Hall won’t point fingers at Qin Emperor, but we hope that you will not hold back when the time comes. If Sky Swallowing Palace isn’t destroyed, not only will it affect Pill Alliance and my Hidden Kill Hall, but no country among the Upper Three Countries can withstand the brunt of Sky Swallowing Palace.”

“You may leave!” Qin Emperor commanded, waving his hand. Green Robe Guest staggered back as if struck, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

“I take my leave.” Green Robe Guest wiped the blood away and turned to walk out of Sky Swallowing Palace, while the royal guards outside still could not see his figure.

Qin Emperor sat on the throne in silence for a long time, pondering every word Green Robe Guest had just spoken, especially the intelligence about Sky Swallowing Palace.

“Suspected Immortal,” this was of utmost concern to Qin Emperor. Although the word ‘suspected’ was added, it clearly meant the Sky Swallowing Palace Master’s strength was incredibly formidable; otherwise, Green Robe Guest would not describe him in such terms.

If he truly were Immortal, then Qin Emperor would have to think carefully about whether to fully commit, for the power of an Immortal is unimaginable. Currently, only one person in the Nine Countries, the East Pole Heaven King, has reached this level, but he is still healing in seclusion, and it’s unknown when he will emerge.

Of course, ‘suspected Immortal’ does not equate to Immortal, but Qin Emperor has already decided to participate in the battle to destroy Sky Swallowing Palace. Therefore, even though Green Robe Guest brought some pessimistic intelligence, it would not affect Qin Emperor’s decision.

“Sky Swallowing Palace Master, no matter what, I must meet you,” Qin Emperor spoke, his eyes deeply solemn.
