Xu Nian's appearance immediately caused a stir on the scene.
It was obvious that many people had recognized Xu Nian.
"It's him, how could it be him!"
Inside the Wuji Sect, Zhao Qingqing widened her eyes in surprise.
A strong sense of surprise also appeared in Chu Lin's eyes.
However, his gaze also carried a thick sense of jealousy.
Last time, Xu Nian had displayed his formidable strength in front of so many people.
He had completely lost face because of that.
This frustration had been pent up in his heart with nowhere to vent.
Now, seeing Xu Nian step forward, that resentment welled up from the bottom of his heart.
"Sect Master, he is the genius I told you about. What do you think, Sect Master?"
Zhao Qingqing's Master addressed the middle-aged man in front of him.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man glanced at Xu Nian and then shook his head.
"Eh, does the Sect Master think his strength is insufficient? This young man is not yet eighteen, but he's already an Eight-star Battle General. Even our Wuji Sect can't find such a genius. Although he has offended the Fang Family, it's not something that can't be resolved. Are you truly not considering it at all, Sect Master?"
The Elder, seeing the Sect Master shake his head, thought he was dissatisfied with Xu Nian and hurriedly spoke up.
Beside him, Zhao Qingqing also furrowed her brows tightly.
The Sect Master, who was always desperate for talent,
why would he disregard such a genius today?
Is it really because he is afraid of the Fang Family's retaliation?
Lu Tianyuan of the Wuji Sect saw the expressions of the Elder and Zhao Qingqing and couldn't help but give a wry smile.
Dissatisfied?
If such a genius were willing to take the position of Wuji Sect Master from him, he would be more than willing!
But their Wuji Sect couldn't afford to have him, nor did they dare to take him in!
"You'll understand if you just keep watching," Lu Tianyuan said with a wry smile.
Zhao Qingqing and the Elder looked baffled.
They turned their heads to look at Xu Nian, their eyes filled with confusion.
Xu Nian had anticipated that it would be very lively outside the Demon Emperor's Tomb.
But he hadn't expected it to be this vibrant.
In front of him, there were at least ten Saints waiting for him.
This was probably an unprecedented reception!
Xu Nian also saw Xu Xin among the crowd.
The latter had a worried expression on his face.
Xu Nian sent him a reassuring look.
Xu Xin was slightly stunned.
His younger brother was actually not afraid.
Could it be that there was a turn of events?
Just as Xu Xin was puzzled,
Xu Nian had already turned his gaze to the Fang Family, Ye Family, Tianjian Sect, and the Imperial Family among others.
Clearly, these Four Great Forces were his real opponents today.
Everyone else basically had a wait-and-see attitude.
If that was the case, then there was no need to bother with them for now.
Surely, once they saw the outcome, they would naturally know whether to take action or not.
"Xu Nian, do you admit your guilt?"
An Elder from the Fang Family stepped forward, his voice cold as he spoke.
His tone was thick with killing intent.
Hearing this, Xu Nian looked in the direction of the Fang Family, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

As expected, the Fang Family was the first to lose patience.
He knew the identity of the Elder before him.
The Two-star Saint of the Fang Family!
The Demon Beast Saint who had killed Chen Xuanlong, the Emperor Scorpion.
"Admit guilt? For what crime am I guilty?" Xu Nian looked at the Emperor Scorpion with a sneer.
Chen Xuanlong was after all a senior relative of Xu Nian, yet he had died at the hands of this Emperor Scorpion.
And Chen Tiansheng had been poisoned by the Emperor Scorpion, almost losing his life to the yellow springs.
So when Xu Nian saw the Emperor Scorpion, his heart had already harbored killing intent.
"Hmph, still not repenting even when death is near, youngster, do you really not fear death?" the Emperor Scorpion coldly huffed.
Xu Nian, upon hearing this, immediately laughed and looked at the Emperor Scorpion teasingly, "I do fear death, but do you think you guys can kill me?"
No sooner had these words left his mouth than a stir went through the crowd.
Was this young man's tone too big?
This is a Saint!
Did this young man just say that these Saints couldn't kill him?
Isn't this courting death?
"Hmph, I've long heard of your arrogance, but I never thought it would be to this extent. Boy, the people of the Fang Family are not the only ones you've killed in terror, right? Now there are people from the Ye Family, Tianjian Sect, and the Imperial Family here. Why don't you ask them if they will let you off?" the Emperor Scorpion said with furious eyes.
"Hmph, boy, you killed two direct descendants and one Elder of our Ye Family. Today you must pay with your blood for this blood debt!" a Saint leading the Ye Family coldly huffed.
"I, Tianjian Sect, have lost seven core disciples, including my own son, and two Elders, all to your hands. If I don't kill you today, I, Lei Batian, swear not to call myself human!" the Tianjian Sect Master stepped forward and roared angrily.
The people around were dumbfounded.
Xu Nian had killed so many people?
And each one had such significant status.
Was this kid crazy?
However, in the midst of their shock,
the middle-aged man dressed in brocade also spoke at this moment, authoritatively, "Xu Nian, you killed two Imperial Princes of our empire, a crime that must be punished. Today I shall take your head back to face our Emperor."
"What?"
The people around were completely petrified on the spot.
Heavens!
Xu Nian dared to kill Imperial Princes?
And two of them?
He's mad!
This kid is mad!
Zhao Qingqing and the old man were also dumbfounded, their mouths gaping wide, unable to speak.
Now they finally understood why their Sect Master did not take Xu Nian as a disciple.
Damn, if they accepted him, they feared the Wuji Sect would be annihilated the next day!
The Xu Family Saint and Ye Family Saint also felt a surge of emotions.
Although they had known for some time that Xu Nian had killed so many,
the pronouncement of these Four Great Forces still filled their hearts with deep feelings.
Was this something a youth had done?
Yet facing the condemnation of the Saints of the Four Great Forces, Xu Nian was as calm as a gentle breeze and light clouds, without a trace of fear.
"Boy, do you still think you can escape from our hands? Aren't you the Artifact Refining Sect Master? Where are your Artifact Refining Sect people? They have probably abandoned you by now!" the Emperor Scorpion sneered with eyes full of killing intent.
In their view, the absence of the Artifact Refining Sect Saints meant that Xu Nian had certainly been abandoned.
Facing the pressure from all sides, how could the Artifact Refining Sect still come out to protect Xu Nian?
"Artifact Refining Sect Master?"
Those who didn't know Xu Nian's true identity were suddenly stunned on hearing this.
Xu Nian was the Artifact Refining Sect Master?
Was the youth who had caused such an uproar at the entrance to the tomb none other than Xu Nian?
Zhao Qingqing and the older man were also stunned.
If Xu Nian was the Artifact Refining Sect Master, didn't that make him on equal footing with their own Sect Master?
Lu Tianyuan shook his head with a wry smile.
He too had only recently received the news, and he had been astonished for a long time when he learned of it.
However, he shared the same thoughts as the Emperor Scorpion and the others.
Xu Nian had probably been abandoned by the Artifact Refining Sect by now.
After all, with enemies on all four sides,
how could the Artifact Refining Sect dare to acknowledge their Sect Master?
The same thought was in the minds of those around them.
Even if Xu Nian truly was the Artifact Refining Sect Master, he probably wasn't by now.
"Ha ha, who says my Artifact Refining Sect people are afraid? Even if my Artifact Refining Sect perishes, we will stand or fall together with the Sect Master!"
However, just when everyone thought Xu Nian had been abandoned, a thunderous voice rang out in the sky.
Then, two figures descended from the sky and knelt on one knee in front of Xu Nian, loudly declaring, "Your subordinates are late, greetings, Sect Master!"
The crowd, seeing this scene, all showed expressions of astonishment.
Has the Artifact Refining Sect also gone mad?
