26: Let's go, it's your treat.

After killing Qi Huan, Qin Gelan turned his gaze toward Xiao He.

Xiao He's Face changed drastically. The Heavenly God stepped forward at this moment, frowning. "Your Excellency has already killed Qi Huan. How about we let this matter rest?"

The Heavenly God could not simply watch Xiao He be killed. Xiao He was at the Immortal Emperor Ninth Heaven and was also the Grand Elder of the Hall of Gods. If he were killed, the loss would be far too great.

"What, do you wish to fight me?" Qin Gelan said indifferently.

The Heavenly God knew that a Supreme's Karma could not be easily resolved, so he spoke up. "I can offer Your Excellency compensation. If Your Excellency insists on a fight to the death, you may destroy the Hall of Gods, but I can also destroy the Qin Family."

When Qin Gelan heard this, he thought, a threat?

"Hahaha, first you threatened the Qin Family, and now you're threatening this Emperor?" Qin Gelan laughed aloud, then his eyes turned cold. "Go ahead, go destroy the Qin Family. This Emperor will absolutely not stop you. If you destroy the Qin Family, I will destroy the Hall of Gods, and we'll be even."

Immediately after, a powerful aura erupted, as if it intended to destroy heaven and earth.

The Supremes watching from Xuanhuang Heaven all cursed in their hearts, "Idiot!"

It's one thing to threaten others, but you're threatening a Supreme?

The Heavenly God's Face changed drastically. He hadn't expected the person before him to be so uncompromising, acting like some headstrong youth.

He had only said those words to give both sides a way out, but he hadn't expected to incite the other party's fury.

He hadn't expected the other party to be so completely indifferent. He had thought that since the man had appeared on behalf of Qin Gelan, he would care about the Qin Family to some extent.

He had miscalculated!

Just then, a watching Supreme spoke with a Daoist voice: "Fellow Daoist, we are all Supremes of Xuanhuang Heaven. Let us not waste our strength on internal strife."

Another Supreme also spoke up: "Heavenly God, your Hall of Gods has offended our Fellow Daoist. How about you offer compensation to appease the Supreme's wrath?"

"Indeed, your Hall of Gods is in the wrong here and should rightfully provide compensation."

The Supremes spoke up one after another to persuade them, all pointing out the Hall of Gods' fault, but in truth, they were providing a way out for both sides.

Although the several Transcendent Factions had been engaged in open and secret struggles for many years, as fellow Supremes of Xuanhuang Heaven, they did not wish to see internal depletion.

Furthermore, if a battle between Supremes were to break out, the entire Divine Continent might be struck down into the depths.

Qin Gelan withdrew his overwhelming power, just as the time on his trial card expired.

Asking brother tong zi to help conceal his heavenly secrets and aura, Qin Gelan became like an ordinary person, with not a trace of aura leaking out.

"Since you Fellow Daoists have spoken, this Emperor will grant you all Face. However, as for the compensation..." Qin Gelan spoke indifferently. He no longer had the combat power of a Supreme, so he naturally lacked his previous confidence.

Although he still had one three-hour trial card, it wasn't worth using here.

Besides, he had discovered... that this Heavenly God was actually a damn Clone!

What a total schemer!

That made the trial card even more unusable. Qin Gelan wouldn't dream of using a trial card to fight a Clone.

Seeing that Qin Gelan wanted compensation, the Heavenly God secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. "As long as it is not an ultimate dao immortal artifact, Fellow Daoist may speak your mind."

Since Qin Gelan had the Heaven's Inch, he naturally looked down upon the ultimate dao immortal artifacts of the Hall of Gods. He glanced at the palace that towered into the clouds.

"Then this palace shall serve as the compensation," Qin Gelan finally decided.

During the brief exchange just now, this palace hadn't been damaged in the slightest. Although it was protected by a Great Formation, it was enough to show that the Materials of this palace were not simple.

The Heavenly God's expression was somewhat unsightly. This palace had stood in the Divine Continent for untold tens of thousands of years, existing since the Hall of Gods first established itself there.

While it could be rebuilt and the Materials could be found again, the most critical issue was Face.

Seeing the Heavenly God hesitate to agree, Qin Gelan spoke indifferently: "What, is Your Excellency unwilling?"

The Heavenly God snapped back to his senses. At this point, he couldn't worry about Face anymore. He forced a smile and said, "Since Fellow Daoist likes it, then this Divine Hall is gifted to you as a congratulatory gift for your attainment of the Dao."

This maneuver left the other watching Supremes momentarily stunned. When they finally reacted, they cursed him in their hearts as an old fox!

By giving it away under the guise of a congratulatory gift for attaining the Dao, he had managed to save some Face. More importantly, since he had given a gift, the others wouldn't be able to escape either.

They all called him 'Fellow Daoist' and 'Fellow Supreme of Xuanhuang Heaven.' Now that he had attained the Dao, shouldn't they also give gifts to show their respect?

"I've even given away the Divine Hall of the Hall of Gods. You lot can't very well give some trash, can you?"

Thinking of this, even the Heavenly God, as a Supreme, felt a pang in his chest. This hall was forged from Jade Silver Immortal Gold, a forging material second only to those used for ultimate dao weapons.

Qin Gelan smiled, not minding the Heavenly God's little scheme. Seeing through it without exposing it, he said, "In that case, I thank you, Fellow Daoist. I'll also have to trouble the members of the Hall of Gods to move this palace to the Qin Family."

Seeing Qin Gelan start to act politely, the Heavenly God understood that this matter was now considered settled. Judging by Qin Gelan's attitude, their relationship might even be repaired in the future.

He immediately gave the order for Xiao He to move the Divine Hall to the Qin Family.

Xiao He naturally agreed to everything. Having barely kept his life, he would agree to any request.

As for Qi Huan, Xiao He was also cursing him in his heart. If Qi Huan hadn't gone and meddled in things that didn't concern him, he wouldn't have nearly been slapped to death by a Supreme.

It seemed he would have to keep a lower profile in the future. Who knew if he might run into some young person with a Supreme backing them up one day.

"I have heard that my girl is acquainted with Fellow Daoist's Junior. Since Fellow Daoist has achieved the Dao through the Body, I would like to have the opportunity to sit and discuss the Dao with you." A beautiful voice drifted over. If Qin Gelan wasn't mistaken, that was the Supreme of Linglong Island.

"My Junior is also acquainted with Fellow Daoist's Junior. Fellow Daoist is welcome to come to the Demon Domain to discuss the Dao."

"Shameless!" Yue Qingyi and Qin Gelan had only just met once; did that even count as being acquainted? Some Supremes cursed in their hearts.

"I have heard that Fellow Daoist is a grandmaster of Formations. When you have time, come to the Dao Tian Sect to discuss the Dao of Formations."

"The Loulan Empire welcomes Fellow Daoist's visit..."

The various major factions were not to be outdone. A Supreme who had achieved the Dao through the Body was enough to command their serious attention... Somewhere in the God City, Yu Linglong softly asked a woman beside her, "Even the Old Ancestor is interested in this mysterious Supreme."

The woman appeared to be around the same age as Yu Linglong. She possessed a beauty that could make flowers wither in shame, yet she had a bit more composure and depth.

The Island Master of Linglong Island—Yu Feihua. She was a figure of great renown throughout Xuanhuang Heaven, equal in fame to the Grand Elder of the Hall of Gods, perhaps even surpassing him.

Yu Feihua and Xue Ning were the two great beauties of Xuanhuang Heaven thirty thousand years ago. They had enchanted countless people, some of whom had now become the leaders of various factions.

Including some current leaders of Transcendent Factions, many had fallen for them. Unfortunately, thirty thousand years had passed, and no one had succeeded in winning them over.

Qin Gelan found a deserted place, restored his original appearance, and walked toward the Ascending Immortal Tower.

After resting at the Ascending Immortal Tower, it would be time to go to the Shen Family to pick up Shen Yan. He wondered how she was progressing with the Cultivation Technique he had given her.

Just as he stepped into the Ascending Immortal Tower, he saw someone waiting for him—an acquaintance, no less.

Yu Linglong was still wearing a light veil over her Face, looking at Qin Gelan with a smile as he approached.

"You knew I would come to the Ascending Immortal Tower?" Qin Gelan looked at Yu Linglong curiously.

"I heard you were at the Ascending Immortal Tower before, and my intuition told me you would return." Yu Linglong's voice was like heavenly music, with a quality that could melt one's bones, drawing gaze after gaze within the Ascending Immortal Tower.

"With an intuition like that, you could go into fortune-telling. You'd definitely make a lot of money." Qin Gelan laughed.

Seeing Qin Gelan joking, Yu Linglong nodded seriously. "That's not a bad idea."

Qin Gelan laughed heartily and headed toward the second floor.

"Let's go. We'll drink until we drop at the Ascending Immortal Tower. Order whatever you want, drink whatever you like—it's your treat."

"Young Master Qin, please... wait? What? My treat?"
