Traveling Back Early: Forcing the Young Empress to Sign a Lifetime Servitude Contract

207: Who else?The appearance of Qiu Wenxian instantly caused an uproar in the surroundings.

”Qiu Wenxian? Could it be the Revered Master of the Uncrowned Immortal Temple, that newly ascended Immortal from decades ago?”

”It seems so. During the last Immortal Assessment, our Yan Domain produced one Immortal.”

”What? Even an Immortal is... so respectful toward him?”

In an instant, a wave of shock rippled through Hu Yan Hall.

Even if everyone did not know Chen Qingxuan’s background, they had heard of the famous name of Qiu Wenxian; he was an Immortal whose reputation was deafening.

Now, the friendliness, or rather, obsequiousness, displayed by Qiu Wenxian made people feel as if they had been struck by lightning.

Anyone who wasn’t a fool realized the terror of Chen Qingxuan at this moment; it wasn’t just his background, as he could obliterate two top experts of Hu Yan Hall with just a thought;

he was not at all inferior compared to the Prodigies within the top Prefectures!

Apart from the shocked onlookers, the experts inside Hu Yan Hall who were scared silly were even more dumbfounded, having already realized they could not afford to provoke Chen Qingxuan;

now seeing Qiu Wenxian acting with such a low profile, they couldn’t help but let their imaginations run wild.

”What are you still standing there for?”

At this moment, Qiu Wenxian suddenly looked at them, ”Quickly bring the registration roster. The registration for the Hundred States Tournament has not yet closed. Let me see who dares to act recklessly.”

”Yes!”

The experts of Hu Yan Hall hurriedly complied.

At this moment, they naturally dared not close the registration. After all, their original purpose was because they looked down on the remaining contestants who were just there to make up the numbers;

now that a mysterious contestant had appeared who surpassed all the Prodigies of the Yan Domain, even if they were given ten times the courage, they would not dare to throw their weight around relying on the identity of Hu Yan Hall.

Otherwise, they would end up with the same fate as the Hall Revered Master Li Zhen.

Before long, Chen Qingxuan’s name was recorded in the registry, and the others also gained the opportunity to register because of this.

”Chen Qingxuan?” Lin Xia smiled and said, ”So Young Master Chen is called Qingxuan. That name sounds quite pleasant.”

Before Chen Qingxuan could speak;

At this time, Qiu Wenxian acted as if facing a formidable enemy, saying, ”Presumptuous! How can you address Young Master Chen by his full name? Apologize to Young Master Chen immediately.”

”No need.”

Chen Qingxuan waved his hand and looked at Qiu Wenxian, saying, ”For now, we are in the guise of siblings. Immortal Qiu, do not ruin my plan to participate in the Hundred States Tournament in a low-key manner.”

”Ah, this... Yes!”

Qiu Wenxian was stunned for a moment.

But upon meeting Chen Qingxuan’s serious gaze, he dared not ask more... Are you sure you are participating in the Hundred States Tournament in a low-key manner?

You just obliterated the Hall Revered Master of the Hu Yan Hall from an Upper Domain... I’m afraid this cannot be considered low-key!

But seeing Chen Qingxuan’s attitude, Qiu Wenxian naturally dared not ask more, only promising to fulfill the duties of the Hall Revered Master of Hu Yan Hall well in the future.

Although, as a newly ascended Immortal, he did not look upon the position of the Hall Revered Master of Hu Yan Hall, it depended on who had entrusted this position.

Given Chen Qingxuan’s presence in Qiu Wenxian’s heart, such an entrustment... was considered giving him a chance to climb higher, so naturally, he could not fail to grasp it.

After registering, Chen Qingxuan did not delay too much and straightaway asked Lin Xia to take him to the competition area.

On the way.

Lin Xia spoke softly and gently, ”Qingxuan, the Hundred States Tournament is hosted in Qing Prefecture, which is a Prefecture ranked around the fiftieth among the Upper Domains. You must have some understanding of it. Now, my Revered Master has already used Hu Yan Hall to recommend you to Qing Prefecture as a key contestant, so we can just head over directly. Qing Prefecture will have accommodations and such prepared for you before the Hundred States Tournament begins.”

”Good!”

Chen Qingxuan nodded.

Before coming to register for the Hundred States Tournament, he had already learned that the Hundred States Tournament in previous years was held in Qing Prefecture.

Although both Qing Prefecture and Yan Domain belonged to the Upper Domains, there were differences in levels among the Upper Domains. As a Prefecture ranked around the fiftieth, Qing Prefecture’s power and various aspects far exceeded those of the Yan Domain;

that was a truly terrifying place.

For example, during the last Immortal Assessment, it was rumored that in Qing Prefecture alone, ten experts ascended to become Immortals.

Every Immortal, when placed in the Three Thousand Divine Provinces, was an unshakeable, supreme existence. Not to mention how many Immortals had been stationed in Qing Prefecture in previous years, just the fact that ten Immortals could ascend in a single assessment was something unimaginable in the Yan Domain.

Two days later.

The two used the Teleportation Array and successfully entered the territory of Qing Prefecture.

As they got closer to the top Prefectures, the difficulty of entering increased accordingly. Fortunately, with Lin Xia, who knew the rules, leading the way, it was quite smooth.

Qing Prefecture.

As the power hosting such a grand event as the Hundred States Tournament, its scale and profound foundation were self-evident.

Upon arriving, it was as if they were in a vast Empire.

”There are quite a few Immortals stationed within Qing Prefecture, so with them taking charge of the Hundred States Tournament, none of the Prefectures need to worry about anyone causing trouble,” Lin Xia said while walking.

Chen Qingxuan raised an eyebrow and said, ”The Hundred States Tournament has Immortals stationed there?”

”Naturally, there will be a few, in case of any unforeseen events,” Lin Xia nodded, ”But they will not intervene in the Hundred States Tournament unless it is an absolute last resort. Even if there is fighting between contestants, it is not within their jurisdiction. They are mainly there to prevent outside forces from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.”

”I see.”

Chen Qingxuan understood in his heart.

Before long.

The two, led by people from Qing Prefecture, arrived at their own accommodations.

It was a courtyard filled with swirling Immortal Qi. Although simple, it was not plain, and various stunning and valuable spiritual items were meticulously planted within the courtyard.

Just by looking at it, one knew that after entering the courtyard, even the most exhausted body could quickly recover.

But at this moment.

Outside the courtyard, however, dozens of figures stood there, both men and women.

Judging from the contestant attire they were wearing, it was not hard to see that they were all contestants participating in the Hundred States Tournament.

”Hmm?”

Chen Qingxuan slightly raised an eyebrow;

as a sunny big boy who was well-versed in the sinister nature of the human heart, he had already caught a whiff of ill intent.

Just then, someone in the crowd had already walked toward the two, with no attempt to hide the scrutinizing look on their faces.

”Are you that Chen...”

One of the youths walking in front spoke first;

but before he could finish his sentence, Chen Qingxuan lunged forward in one stride, raised his heavy and powerful palm, and slapped it over.

Bang—

Such an unexpected scene left everyone dumbfounded.

And the youth who had only finished half his sentence was instantly slapped so hard that his body straightened out in the air, and he crashed headfirst onto the ground.

”How dare you hit...”

At this time, the woman following behind the youth exclaimed.

Similarly, before she could finish her sentence, Chen Qingxuan turned his head to look. At the same time, he had already raised an arm and, without a shred of chivalry, slapped the woman’s pink cheek.

Slap—

Another crisp sound rang out;

In full view of everyone, the woman was instantly sent flying backward, not giving the crowd any chance to react at all.

”Who else?”
