Originally, Yang Zhu had been quite confident in Chen Xuan’s ability to defeat Han Guxue. However, upon seeing that Han Guxue’s natal sword was a middle-grade imperial weapon, a look of worry flickered across his face. He spoke up immediately: "Young Friend Han, the Evil Emperor is an old friend of mine. Like you, he hails from the humblest of mortal realms—in fact, his homeland had even thinner spiritual energy than yours. Since you both walked out of the forgotten corners of the mortal world, you should treat each other with mutual respect and become friends."
"Master Yang, it is precisely because I respect the fact that the Evil Emperor is your friend that I have not yet drawn my sword," Han Guxue replied, gently wiping down his Cold Lightning Sword with an expression devoid of joy or sorrow. "As for our shared mortal origins, that is no reason for me to admire him. Be it in the mortal realm or the Immortal World, the strong reign supreme. Strength is the only thing that speaks."
"You are correct—the strong reign supreme. I, the Evil Emperor, will not go easy on you just because you are a mortal-born cultivator." Chen Xuan’s tone was even more arrogant than Han Guxue’s, highlighting a personality that stood in stark contrast to his opponent's.
