Ancient Godly Monarch - Chapter 675
Chapter 675: Bloodline Protection
Qin Wentian naturally discovered this as well. The instant the constellation manifested, he had already sensed that terrifying aura. Right now, when his eyes turned to the Greencloud Sovereign, a fearsome killing intent could be seen within.
Evidently, the Greencloud Sovereign was in cahoots with an extremely powerful expert. That expert possessed the ability to hide his strength and aura and this wasn’t any ordinary hiding abilities. Given how powerful Qin Wentian’s perception was, he actually overlooked him? How terrifying was that ordinary-looking old man exactly?
Qin Wentian stared at the cold smile on the Greencloud Sovereign’s face. His eyes reflected a deep mocking laughter, staring at Qin Wentian as he would a clown.
Killing the people of his Greencloud Pavilion? Not placing him, the Greencloud Sovereign in his eyes?
Very well, he shall die then! Although his fame resound throughout Grand Xia and had the ability to kill Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants, he would die without a doubt today.
“Brother-in-law!” Ling Yue screamed in shock as her countenance instantly paled. There was actually such a powerful ambush waiting for Qin Wentian here. She didn’t know anything at all, but the reason why Qin Wentian would appear here was clearly because of her and her family. This instantly caused Ling Yue to feel an unbearable feeling in her heart, an emotion akin to guilt. To her, it felt like she was the one who betrayed Qin Wentian.
In fact, Ling Yue thought too much. Since the Greencloud Sovereign arrived in Chu, Qin Wentian would have to meet him no matter what. This point was something the Greencloud Sovereign knew as well. Because, in Chu, the only one who had strength to stand up to the Greencloud Sovereign was Qin Wentian alone. If the Greencloud Sovereign slaughtered his kin, would Qin Wentian not appear? The reason why the Greencloud Sovereign chose such a method was simply because he didn’t want to arouse any suspicion and secondly, he didn’t want Qin Wentian to act rashly before he entered into the trap set for him.
“Don’t worry, it’s not your fault.” Qin Wentian spoke. At this moment, the entire inn was shaking from the pressure of the ancient vines as they wrapped around it. A moment later, countless vine-like tentacles pierced through the inn as fresh blood splattered everywhere in huge amounts.
“ARGH~”
“SAVE ME!”
In the lower levels of the inn, screams and cries of misery rang out unceasingly. Those tentacles that penetrated the inn showed no mercy and reaped away the lives of the crowd. After which, they extended with blinding speed towards Qin Wentian, resembling a huge maw wanting to devour him. This was a gigantic web formed by the writhing tentacles, all paths of escape were already sealed.
Qin Wentian instantly turned ashen, he could clearly sense the lives of the innocent populace getting reaped away. The piercingly sharp vines directly penetrated their bodies as corpses littered the inn, constituting a shocking scene. That old man was actually such a psychotic individual, killing people like they were ants. In his eyes, the lives of these commoners were petty and cheap.
“Bzz!”
The scarlet demon halberd appeared in Qin Wentian’s hands as he struck out with it in an eruption of his force. The Illusory Demonforce he had comprehended merged into his attack, gushing towards that devouring maw-like ancient vines. With a thunderous boom, the vines were shattered into pieces but the Greencloud Sovereign and the old man had already disappeared from sight. In the entire inn, Qin Wentian was the only survivor. He was trapped within the constellation.
“Who are you?” Qin Wentian icily inquired. There shouldn’t be someone like this person in the transcendent powers of Grand Xia.
Above in the sky, the star light spiralled. Underneath that vine-type constellation, yet another constellation appeared.
“Dual Constellations Manifestation?!” The cold light in Qin Wentian’s eyes got even more pronounced. He stared at the constellations only to see the silhouette of the old man flying towards them before fading away as countless apparitions appeared around that location.
The two constellations gradually merged with each other, from two into one. Qin Wentian felt an intense premonition of danger. The opponent in front of him far surpassed the strength of Ouyang Mutian as well as the ascendants of the Pill Emperor Hall.
Qin Wentian’s perception stretched to the limits, yet he still had no way to perceive the true location of that old man. This opponent had condensed a total of two constellations and their abilities were apparent, granting him the power of absolute concealment. This was why he had no way to sense the presence of this old man.
Those writing vine-like tentacles finally moved again, launching an attack at the very same instant. The speed which they moved at created a fearsome whistling noise in the air as they lashed out together. There were so many that Qin Wentian didn’t know which of those should he defend against.
“RUMBLE!”
Qin Wentian soared through the air as demonic qi exuded from him, causing his physique to grow larger, transforming into something that resembled a fiendgod. Resplendent particles of energy from the Illusory Demonforce coated and circulate around his body, acting like a terrifying armor.
“Incarnation Burst!” Qin Wentian roared. Several illusory images of him appeared as the halberds in their hands struck out in a frenzy, attacking all together. That vine-like maw completely exploded. A moment later, the vine-type constellation endlessly birthed new vines again as they gathered and slaughter over to Qin Wentian once more. Qin Wentian’s earlier attack only bought him an instant of time.
Qin Wentian’s Yuanfu started thrumming as the astral energy within surged. Instantly, a towering sword qi gushed forth from him in all eight directions, colliding into those sharp tentacles once more. But even so, he couldn’t block his opponent completely. After all, his opponent was an ascendant far above Ouyang Mutian’s level. If his attacks managed to hit him, Qin Wentian knew that he would most certainly be crushed.
“I have to get out of here.” Qin Wentian gazed in a certain direction, soaring up as his sword intent generated boundless sword might. With an intention of his will, the demon sword appeared, slicing his left palms as his blood dyed the body of the demon sword red. A demonic blood-colored light shone resplendently as the humming of the demon sword filled the air, completely decimating everything.
“KILL!” Qin Wentian howled, his left palm held on to the demon sword while his right held onto the scarlet demon halberd. An intense murderous aura radiated from him as his entire being was enveloped by his sword qi. Only this way could enable him to have a chance to break out of that web of vines.
Up above, the ancient vines seemed endless, constantly unleashing fearsome attacks. If it wasn’t for the sword might of his demon sword destroying all obstructions, it would be extremely tough even if he wanted to move a step.
Too powerful, this ascendant was so strong that he could insta-kill the Pill Emperor
“Bzz!” Abruptly, Qin Wentian suddenly saw a pair of eyes appearing in the skies. These eerie eyes caused him to feel cold all over. Slashing out with the demon sword in anger, the terrifying sword light slashed apart the web of vines, creating a opening. Yet at this moment, that pair of eyes suddenly vanished once more.
From the right, the terrifying ancient vines coiled together and lashed out towards Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian brandished the scarlet demon halberd and struck out with an indomitable might, destroying the vines. However, at the next opening, he saw those icy-looking eyes once again, the look within them so cold that it could freeze his soul.
“Bzzz!”
Abruptly, a silhouette wielding a long spear with fearsome black-colored energy revolving around it stabbed out. This silhouette appeared suddenly, moving with inconceivable speed. It felt as though his opponent could instantly vanish and reappear at any point in this space enveloped by his constellation. Also, this attack was timed impeccably at the moment where Qin Wentian struck out with his halberd. Qin Wentian had no time to defend.
At this instant, Qin Wentian only felt his sea of consciousness turning sluggish from the effect of that pair of eyes. Even his blood-circulation rate slowed as the feeling of being frozen spread around his entire body. His movements lagged, that terrifying spear knock his halberd aside before piercing immediately towards his brain. Qin Wentian couldn’t even move his head, his entire body felt frozen. In addition, the power of darkness that was circulating around the spear was simply too terrifying.
Everything happened in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint, so fast that Qin Wentian didn’t even have the time to think. Such a powerful assassin was simply too terrifying.
In this instant, the only thing remaining in Qin Wentian’s heart, was despair.
However at this moment, a flood of terrifying crimson light burst out from Qin Wentian’s body. That was the thrumming of his blood. A terrifying demon phantom manifested, resembling a human-formed demonic beast. It forcibly separated itself from Qin Wentian’s body as it raised its palms and blasting them outwards.
“Puchi…”
The long spear that has the terrifying black-colored energy currents of darkness circulating around it pierced right through the palms of the demon phantom, all the way into its body. However, the palm of the phantom continued on its trajectory, not affected by any resistance at all. Those blood-colored palms then executed the Star-Seizing Palm technique with enough power to seize the constellations. As they landed on the grey-robed old man’s body, forcibly flinging him through the air as the impact caused him to cough out a mouthful of blood. Evidently, the old man hadn’t expected that Qin Wentian would still be able to counter-attack under those circumstances.
“What is that?” The old man stared at the demon phantom that appeared. This demon phantom was in the form of Qin Wentian, only a much more violent and feral version of himself. The cold eyes of the phantom had no emotions, and it seemed invulnerable to damage. The attack earlier pierced right through it yet it failed to destroy it.
“Bloodline Protection!” The eyes of that grey-robed elder flashed sharply as he felt shock rumbling his heart. The bloodline of this brat was actually so terrifying, it even had the ability of Bloodline Protection?
“Bloodline Protection?” Qin Wentian felt somewhat astonished, this was the first time he had heard of this term. That demon phantom that appeared earlier was indeed born from the power of his bloodline. Earlier when he had comprehended the true intent of Demons, he could feel his blood growing more powerful as though more fetters were unlocked. This was the second ability that his bloodline had manifested. The first ability of his bloodline was able to boost his aura, allowing his cultivation to scale up to the next level. Sadly, it was blocked by the barrier of Celestial Phenomenon now.
The grey-robed elder was exceptionally shocked. Bloodline Protection was a secret bloodline technique. For people who could manifest this ability, it’s an indication that their bloodline was extremely powerful. In that case, Qin Wentian’s ancestor must certainly be an exceedingly strong powerhouse with a tyrannical bloodline.
Such a character like Qin Wentian is extremely rare even in the perspective of the entire Royal Sacred Region. At the very least, as of now, Qin Wentian was the only one who could manifest that particular ability. Anyway, if it wasn’t for the grey-robed old man living so long and had read countless ancient books before, he too wouldn’t have understood what was going on earlier.
“Who the hell is this brat? I must kill him for sure.” The grey-robed elder felt an icy coldness in his heart. The killing intent in his pitch-black eyes grew even more intense!
“You must be someone hired by the transcendent powers to kill me right?” Qin Wentian’s voice was like frost. This man was the most dangerous opponent he had ever faced in his life!
Chapter 676: Desperate Battle
At this moment, far away outside of the inn, there were several onlookers on the streets staring at the constellation in the sky. Their hearts pounded in terror as they watched on. This terrifying constellation could actually envelop an area up to ten miles? They could no longer see Qin Wentian’s silhouette.
“How powerful. Is he here to kill Qin Wentian?”
The return of the legendary character of Chu, Qin Wentian. Exactly how terrifying was the opponent he was facing??
“That person seemed to be even more powerful than the Greencloud Sovereign. For all his strength, the Greencloud Sovereign can only act as a spectator. A few days ago, he came to Chu wanting to see Qin Wentian. In that case in hindsight, this was all a plot to lure Qin Wentian into the trap?”
The hearts of the spectators mused and upon realising this, their hearts all trembled. Even the Greencloud Sovereign didn’t dare to act against Qin Wentian directly. He still had to invite a much more powerful ascendant to kill Qin Wentian.
How strong exactly is this legendary character from Chu?
Would Qin Wentian die here today?
They stared at the Greencloud Sovereign only to see that he, who was clad in black robes, stood arrogantly in the air with an emotionless face. To him, Qin Wentian was dead for sure.
That grey-robed old man he hired was a famous assassin that had lived for several thousand years. He was the most dangerous character in Grand Xia and since he was acting personally, Qin Wentian most definitely wouldn’t survive. To invite him to act, the various transcendent powers had pooled together their resources and paid an astronomical price.
“Sovereign, why must you do this…?”
Beside the Greencloud Sovereign, tears unceasingly streaked down Ling Yue’s face. She felt very pained and guilty in her heart, especially when she saw this scenario. They couldn’t even see Qin Wentian but it was evident that he has entered an extremely dangerous space, trapped inside the space by webs of ancient vines.
The eyes of the Greencloud Sovereign slowly turned over only to see that at this instant, Ling Yue’s grandfather berated her. “Ling Yue, shut the hell up.”
“Grandpa, how can you all use of me to do such a thing?” Ling Yue sobbed, feeling terrible in her heart. If Qin Wentian died here, she simply couldn’t imagine what the consequences would be.
She somewhat understood the personality of the Greencloud Sovereign. After all, his methods in running the Greencloud Pavilion was clear for all to see. Since he had already decided that Qin Wentian was an enemy, the instant Qin Wentian died, everyone in Chu who had a connection with him would all be annihilated. Removing the roots of trouble completely, the Greencloud Sovereign would never be soft-hearted. When he took over the Greencloud Pavilion, he had killed many people in the process. Many of those were his acquaintances and there were even some who were his friends. Yet, he could kill them without blinking an eye, let alone strangers who had nothing to do with him.
Sis Qingcheng, Mo Feng, Mo Yu and the entire Mo Residence. The Greencloud Sovereign would definitely never spare them. And upon thinking of this, Ling Yue felt so much pain in her heart that her body involuntarily convulsed, trembling incessantly. She was so afraid that that would become a reality.
“Ling Yue.” At this moment, a voice rang out. Ling Yue turned her gaze over and when she saw Mo Feng, her countenance became incomparably pale.
“Brother-in-law he…” Mo Feng’s gaze turned to the constellation that hung suspended in the sky as he instantly turned pale as well. Was there someone that was even stronger than the Greencloud Sovereign trying to kill his brother-in-law?
A silvery roc whistled through the air from afar. The brilliant silver light radiating from the roc illuminated the skies as the speed which it flew with caused a raging wind to gust up. The gazes of everyone turned over and upon seeing the silhouette on the roc, they soon discovered that they had no way to shift their gazes away.
“How beautiful..”
“Who is this woman?” Several males among the crowd had dumbstruck expressions on their faces, all of them mesmerized by her beauty.
“Other than the number one beauty in Chu, who else could it be?” Someone sighed in admiration. The current number one beauty in Chu was a far cry when compared to Mo Qingcheng, they were totally at different levels. Mo Qingcheng was the only one qualified to have the title of number one beauty in Chu forever.
The instant the Greencloud Sovereign’s eyes landed on Mo Qingcheng, he was stunned beyond words. A strange glow flashed in his eyes while greed and lust appeared in his heart.
His heart had always been inclined towards the martial path and was filled with resolved and determination. Although he love beauties, he didn’t really spend too much time interacting with females. Hence even now, he was alone and had no family. But now, he had already broke through to become a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant, having a remarkable achievement. He was someone at the peak of Grand Xia with control over the Greencloud Pavilion and the him now couldn’t help but to finally feel the longing for companionship, wanting to find a woman who could match up to him. However, his standards were extremely high, ordinary women simply couldn’t enter his eyes at all. So what even if they were top beauties? Could they even match up to him?
But now, this beauty in front of him had truly made his heart stir. She was so beautiful.
His eyes flashed with a sharp, sinister gleam. As long as Qin Wentian dies, the entire country of Chu would truly be his. He could do anything he want then, and that naturally meant that the beauties of Chu would be at his beck and call.
However soon after, the Greencloud Sovereign frowned. Because from the start till now, Mo Qingcheng didn’t even glance at him. She had totally disregarded his existence.
He didn’t know that in Mo Qingcheng’s heart, he, the mighty Greencloud Sovereign, was already a dead man.
No matter if Qin Wentian was alive or dead, when the Greencloud Sovereign arranged for someone to assassinate Qin Wentian, this has already determined his death.
In addition, Mo Qingcheng firmly believed in Qin Wentian’s ability. She trusted that he would be fine.
In the space enveloped by the constellation, the grey-robed elder didn’t reply to Qin Wentian’s question. He disappeared once more and the endless vines attacked Qin Wentian once again. These vine-like maws wrenched their mouths open, resembling human-devouring plants. The instant one was trapped by these vines, and if one’s strength wasn’t comparable to the attacker, they would definitely die within, dissolved into nutrients for these vines. Qin Wentian knew this very clearly in his heart.
So, if he wanted to live, he had to break out of this space enveloped by the constellation. But despite having a plan, the strength of this old man was evidently much stronger than his. He had no way to escape from here.
The demon sword radiated power rays of sword light that could lacerate space, filling his surroundings with boundless sword might that manifested formless sword qi which permeated everywhere in this space.
“RUMBLE!”
The demon sword grew to a thousand meters in length. Qin Wentian sliced his palms lightly, using his blood to feed the sword, and instantly the blood might in his surroundings grew even more intense as the humming of sword melody rang out through the air, slicing the attacking vines into pieces.
Qin Wentian did not dare allow the ancient vines to get near him. This old assassin could appear instantly anywhere the vines are present.
Closing his eyes, Qin Wentian kept his scarlet demon halberd. His perception stretched out to its limits, feeling everything in this space. His sword might was ever present, moving according to his heart.
“Rustle~”
The terrifying vines moved again, this time attacking from four directions. At this moment, Qin Wentian didn’t physically slash out with his sword. He closed his eyes tightly as though he wasn’t aware of what was happening as a brilliant divine glow shone from his body.
“Chi, chi…”
Qin Wentian pulled out the demon sword again as the sword melody in the air grew increasingly terrifying. Boundless sword qi continued slicing apart the never-ending vines, two different forces colliding against each other in all directions.
“BOOM!”
An incomparably thick ancient vine explosively shot towards Qin Wentian. With an intention of his will, the demon sword spiralled in the air as a storm of destruction spun out, completely lacerating anything that got near him.
“Your strength isn’t bad.” A voice drifted out from the void, echoing endlessly throughout this space.
“I initially thought that one attack from me would be able to kill you, or just by using the power of my constellation. However, you have truly surprised me.” The voice rang out once more as it continued, “However, the people that I want to kill have all died. There won’t be any exceptions. Watch out for my next attack, it shall reap your life away.”
Qin Wentian didn’t move. No matter what his opponent says, his determination and resolve would never waver. Regardless of the tactics his opponent was trying to use, as long as his heart was stable, he would be able to react calmly in all situations. This was the basic fundamentals for all experts, he had to be prepared to face any kind of situation.
As the sound of that voice faded, rumbling sounds rang out. At this moment, a new constellation appeared in the air as numerous silhouettes manifested around it.
Each and every silhouette was black in color and had the exact same appearance and aura, as though they were reflections from a mirror.
“What kind of constellation is this?” Qin Wentian opened his eyes and stared at the constellation above. Different experts would condense different constellations and the instant a constellation was formed, one could feel the true intent of Mandates used to birth it. This particular constellation in front of his eyes gave Qin Wentian a much more dangerous feeling compared to the vine-type constellation earlier.
The vine-type constellation was able to create ancient vines endlessly, it was an extremely powerful control-type constellation. In that case, with regards to this current constellation, other than it having the ability of concealment, what other hidden abilities might it have?
The astral light from the constellation cascaded downwards, and in that instant, Qin Wentian noticed a strong fluctuation of energy in his surroundings. Numerous black-colored silhouettes flickered in and out of existence as they appeared in different places within this space.
“Bzz!”
A terrifying long spear pierced downwards from the air to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian swiped his palms, causing a sword hum to fill the air as he slashed out with an eruptive might, manifesting a vortex of destruction. However, the darkness energy imbued in his opponent’s spear had a terrifying destructive power to it. It directly broke apart the vortex and continued its way to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian’s bloodline surged as the Bloodline Protection appeared once more. The manifested demon phantom slammed out with both its palms, wanting to devastate everything in this world.
However at this very second, the constellation rotated, causing the attacking silhouette of the old man to vanish directly. A feeling of impending doom assaulted Qin Wentian’s senses, as yet another black-colored silhouette appeared in front of him, striking out with that powerful long spear imbued with darkness.
“RUMBLE!”
His sword intent raged, as though there were millions of sharp swords erupting out all together. However, the attack of the old man was as quick as lightning, penetrating through the sharp swords, blasting into Qin Wentian’s shoulder, opening up another bloody hole there.
Just a single attack before disappearing again. This old man was incomparably cautious.
Although the strength of this old man was higher than Qin Wentian, because he had been shocked once by the Bloodline Protection ability, he was now much more cautious when launching his attacks. This was the main reason why he could survive for such a long time. The ability he was most proficient in was assasination, attacking from the shadows, trapping his opponents in an enclosed space before slowly killing them.
In that short instant, the grey-robed old man’s body jumped randomly, reappearing in different locations where the flickering silhouettes were. Those ancient vines were still shooting over in a frenzy, continuing their attacks. Qin Wentian simply couldn’t guard against each and every one of them effectively and very soon, many bloody holes could be seen on his body. His entire person transformed into a bloodman from the blood flowing because of the wounds received. If his reactions were slightly off by a hair, he would have already been dead.
If this carries on, it wouldn’t take too long before Qin Wentian would be tortured to death.
The encircling sudden attack technique of that old man was too strong but luckily, the power of Qin Wentian’s direct attacks surpassed those surprise attacks. If not, he would already face calamity from that very first strike.
The four Yuanfus in Qin Wentian’s body seethed and surged madly, pumping out and circulating astral energy to every part of his body. Even the sword might generated from the demon sword infused his body. At this moment, Qin Wentian’s entire person was burning as an unfathomably destructive tyrannical might emanated from him.
And just after a moment, Qin Wentian’s countenance turned white, his spirit, his energy and his essence were all being used as fuel. Although the aura he exuding was at the peak of the Heavenly Dipper Realm, this aura was more terrifying in comparison to many Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants.
“What is he trying to do?” The countenance of the grey-robed old man instantly turned incredibly unsightly to behold. Qin Wentian left hand grabbed onto the demon sword while his right hand shot up into the sky, his eyes flashing with resolve, staring ruthlessly at the old man who was about to launch another attack.
“HAVE YOU GONE MAD?!” That grey-robed old man’s face turned bloodlessly pale, he could feel Qin Wentian’s aura surging skywards to a terrifying extent and he instantly understood what Qin Wentian was planning. He wanted to burn everything he had in his body, harming himself to the point of death as the price to produce enough energy to unleash a supremely overwhelming attack that could break through every limit.
“BZZ!”
The grey-robed old man instantly turned and disappeared into his constellation. This young man had gone mad, not even saying a word, instantly activating such a terrifying technique, heedless of the price he had to pay.
“DIE!” Qin Wentian’s right hand swiped down the air. In that instant, the heavens were torn asunder as a sword slashed through the sky, directly cleaving the constellation in twain!
Chapter 677: Dangerous Situation
The celestial phenomena formed by the dual constellations was shattered, cleanly split apart right in the middle.
The familiar sky appeared once again above Qin Wentian and the instant his sword slashed out, his aura began plummeting at a terrifying speed, as his countenance became as pale as paper.
Back then, he had to transform into a primordial great roc to unleash this first stance of the Immortal Vanquishing Swordplay. This particular immortal art was different from the others and had to burn one’s self as the price before one can unleash a supreme attack. The energy needed would drain him of everything, including his life force. Qin Wentian didn’t know that were it not for his overbearing vitality, there would simply be no way for him to endure the backlash of constantly using this Immortal Vanquishing Swordplay.
However, the might of this sword strike went without saying. His own strength originally was already stronger compared to yesteryear when he was in the form of a primordial great roc. Burning his own energy is naturally easier to control and direct compared to burning the energy granted to him by the eight demonic divinities.
The spectators only saw a beam of sword light abruptly shooting out, splitting apart the once enclosed space before the constellation disappeared.
Their hearts violently trembled, has the battle finally concluded?
Where did that beam of sword light come from? Was Qin Wentian already dead?
The figure of the grey-robed old man and Qin Wentian appeared in the air at the same instant. Both of them stood motionlessly at their original spot. Qin Wentian’s left hand clutched onto his demon sword as torrents of sword might circulated around him. His entire being was dyed red with his blood, one could see how desperate the battle was.
The grey-robed old man silently stood his ground with no wounds on his body. The coldness in his eyes were frosty to the extreme, striking fear in people’s hearts.
“Brother-in-law!” Mo Feng and Ling Yue mumbled, as they stared at Qin Wentian. Mo Qingcheng had already stepped out, instantly arriving at Qin Wentian’s side as she retrieved a shimmering medicinal pellet and quickly fed it to Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian ingested the pill, as he took out a clean white robe, passing it to Mo Qingcheng as she helped him to put it on. Right now, she resembled a virtuous wife, she didn’t say nor ask anything, she could feel that Qin Wentian was very weak at this moment and he was suppressing his injuries.
“Go!” Mo Qingcheng spoke, the people from the Mo Residence who came all nodded as they started departing. The silvery roc then flew towards Qin Wentian, allowing him to mount it before retreating away at blinding speed. Qin Wentian had already returned his demon sword to his sheath yet his eyes stared fixedly in the figure in the air. This grey-robed old man hadn’t moved since the conclusion of their battle.
The silvery roc whistled through the air, gradually vanishing from the vision of the crowd. The Greencloud Sovereign turned ashen, yet he didn’t dare to make any reckless moves. Right now, he only felt a chill in his heart. Qin Wentian actually survived? Even that old man failed to kill Qin Wentian?
His eyes turned to the direction of the grey-robed old man; but at this instant, the old man sprayed out a large volume of fresh blood into the air as his countenance instantly paled. The aura that emanated from him fluctuated wildly as his body trembled without control. It appeared that he is in extreme pain and agony.
“Hu…” Deeply drawing in a breath, the grey-robed old man stabilized his aura as he stared at the vanishing back view of Qin Wentian.
Failure, he had actually failed in his assasination attempt.
“I give up on the mission you guys commissioned me to do.” The grey-robed old man stared at the Greencloud Sovereign.
“Why? This battle has yet to draw to a close. Qin Wentian is already an arrow at the end of his flight, a spent force. Why didn’t you kill him at the end before he fled?” The expression on the Greencloud Sovereign’s face became incredibly ugly to behold when he heard what the old man said.
“Arrow at the end of its flight, a spent force? Why didn’t you act then?” The grey-robed old man sneered as he continued. “This matter has nothing more to do with me. Farewell.”
After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away, disappearing from the vision of the crowd in the blink of an eye. Only when he was far away, the grey-robed old man coughed out another mouthful of blood. Why didn’t he kill Qin Wentian? Naturally it was because he simply didn’t have the ability to do so. If he had pressed the situation further it was unknown who would be the one who died in the end. He was naturally unwilling to risk his life in a mission.
The departure of the grey-robed old man caused the Greencloud Sovereign to be in a dilemma.
The trap today was set especially for Qin Wentian. Not only that, the person who personally appeared was the Greencloud Sovereign. He knew that as long as he came to Chu, Qin Wentian would surely show up. Because if Qin Wentian didn’t come and meet him, he could simply kill Qin Wentian’s kin. And if Qin Wentian showed up, he would undoubtedly die to the assassination trap they set.
However, reality was completely different from what he envisioned. Qin Wentian had actually survived.
Even the grey-robed old man had no way to kill Qin Wentian. In that case, if Qin Wentian fully recovered, the person he would kill first would naturally be him, the Greencloud Sovereign.
“Wanting me to bear the responsibility for this alone? Impossible.” The heart of the Greencloud Sovereign went cold. He then commanded, “Bring Ling Yue back.”
After speaking, his silhouette flickered as he soared through the air into the distance.
This commotion instantly spread all around Chu. And as for the person in the center of the commotion, Qin Wentian had already arrived at the Mo Residence.
In Mo Qingcheng’s room, Qin Wentian lay on the ground, totally devoid of strength. He had already tried his best to control, unleashing that vanishing immortal strike before it drained him completely. Yet even so, that technique still sapped his essence, spirit and energy, even burning his vitality.
“Qingcheng, this period might be very dangerous for the Mo Residence.” Qin Wentian spoke in a low tone.
“I will temporarily send you away for now. As long as you are not in Chu, nobody would dare to act rashly. Before this, they didn’t take any measures because they were afraid of your revenge.” Mo Qingcheng sat beside Qin Wentian as she spoke gently. Qin Wentian naturally also understood that. Hence, he was at ease allowing the Azure Emperor Palace to relocate. He wasn’t even worried that the other transcendent powers would threaten him with his family because he understood that as long as he was still alive, the other transcendent powers wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
After all, it wasn’t only him who had kin. Which of those ascendants didn’t have family members? The leaders of the transcendent powers wouldn’t be so dumb to touch his family before killing him.
“It’s different now.” Qin Wentian shook his head. “Since they already hired someone to assassinate me, shredding apart all pretense of cordiality, the Greencloud Sovereign would definitely know that I will kill him once I have recovered. In that case, he would rather take a risk and kill me regardless of the price paid. If I leave now, he would take desperate measures. Hence, there’s no way I can leave.”
Mo Qingcheng stared at the pale countenance of Qin Wentian, yet the resolve in his eyes never faded. She laid down on the ground next to Qin Wentian, her gentle frame hugging him. She knew what Qin Wentian said was right, before the pretense of cordiality was shredded, those people didn’t dare to push Qin Wentian too far. But now, things have changed. Since they have already hired an assassin, would they still be afraid of shredding cordiality?
If Qin Wentian left now, they would surely use his kin to threaten him.
“No matter what happens, I shall accompany you.” Mo Qingcheng didn’t try to persuade him, she fully understood Qin Wentian’s character. Since he had already made a decision, he wouldn’t change it. She would respect his choice no matter what he chose.
“The date of our grand wedding is near, our friends from the Royal Sacred Region will soon arrive. If the transcendent powers dare to act, tell them of your status. I believe they won’t dare to do anything if they learnt of it.” Qin Wentian gently caressed Mo Qingcheng’s face as he mumbled, “I need to rest for awhile now…”
“Mhm, I won’t disturb you. I will just accompany you, and stay by your side.” Mo Qingcheng smiled.
Everyone in the Mo Residence were exceptionally worried about Qin Wentian’s injuries. However, Mo Qingcheng and Qin Wentian both simply stayed in the room as though everything was normal. Yet everyone understood that a terrifying storm would soon occur.
Qin Chuan and Qin Yao also came to the Mo Residence, wanting to find out how Qin Wentian was. However, even they didn’t manage to meet Qin Wentian. A few days later, the Royal Clan of Chu received a piece of news. There were some supreme powers on the level of Greencloud Pavilion and Misty Peak that entered the Chu’s Royal Capital. Not only that, these people were the leaders of their respective transcendent powers, ascendants who stood at the very peak of Grand Xia.
This piece of news shocked everyone in Chu, these characters were all existences on the same level as the Greencloud Sovereign. There were even some who were stronger than him. Now that they all appeared in Chu together, was it because of Qin Wentian?
Throughout the Mo Residence, the atmosphere was incomparably nervous. They didn’t know what sort of storm Qin Wentian had kicked up, but upon hearing that these ascendants were all enemies of Qin Wentian, how could they not be afraid? In addition, they didn’t know if Qin Wentian had recovered from his injuries.
These ascendants directly occupied the royal palace, obviously coming to Chu with ill-intent.
The royal clan of Chu was all expelled from the palace, leaving only ascendant-level characters of the various transcendent powers. Right now, their gazes were on the Greencloud Pavilion as they asked, “What happened in that battle exactly, why didn’t Qin Wentian die? The Darkshadow Sovereign refused to say a single word about the battle and is determined not to continue with the mission of killing him any longer.”
“I don’t know, the Darkshadow Sovereign and Qin Wentian must have been mutually injured and their injuries weren’t light. If not, based on Qin Wentian’s character, how could he still not come and settle the debt with us?” The Greencloud Sovereign stated to the crowd.
“Hmph, since his injuries weren’t light, why didn’t you kill him directly? And if he is so badly injured, why would he still stay in Chu?” The Wang Ancestor suspiciously questioned. Being able to live under the assassination attempt of the Darkshadow Sovereign, breaking through the constellation, injuring the Darkshadow Sovereign, Qin Wentian was simply too terrifying. Although they wanted nothing more for Qin Wentian to die immediately, they didn’t dare to act now without first ascertaining the situation.
“You’re asking me why I didn’t kill him directly? This matter was only done because all of us agreed yet you want me to bear the responsibility alone?” The Greencloud Sovereign coldly laughed.
“Since we are all already here now, Qin Wentian should also be clear who it is that has participated in the hiring of the Darkshadow Sovereign. We no longer have a choice, we can only slaughter our way towards him, killing him forever or we can choose to wait for his revenge. I’m sure everyone here is very clear of the situation. I don’t really mind if you all want to pick the second choice. After all, I’m a lone man and can simply abandon the Greencloud Pavilion and flee. But don’t forget that all of you still have family here.”
“You…” The countenance of the Wang Ancestor turned cold.
The Greencloud Sovereign matched gazes with him without fear. Did these bunch of sly old foxes want to stand aside and let him shoulder the responsibility alone? What a joke.
“Stop arguing. Since things have come to this, we truly no longer have a choice any longer.” The Shi Ancestor spoke. Either they kill Qin Wentian now or they wait for their death.
“Since the choices remaining to us are these, it’s very simple then. Do you all want to slaughter our way to him now or use the lives of everybody in the Mo Residence to threaten him to come here?” An evil smile flashed on the Greencloud Sovereign’s countenance.
Chapter 678: AGM 678 – Killing Their Way Over
Since the ascendants of Grand Xia had arrived in Chu, Fairy Qingmei and the rest naturally made haste to there as well.
Right now in the Mo Residence, Fairy Qingmei, Old Xing, the old matriarch and leader of Mystic Moon Hall as well as vice palace lord Chu Lanjiang, a total of five ascendants were present.
When they stepped into the Mo Residence, everyone in there were taken aback by their overpowering auras. Although they were simply standing there, the power radiating from them was apparent and none dared to match their gazes.
Everyone in the Mo Residence were filled with trepidation. Old Man Mo personally showed up, yet he was also extremely nervous. He didn’t know who these characters are.
Only after Mo Qingcheng appeared did everyone feel better. The five of them exchanged greetings with Mo Qingcheng as Fairy Qingmei then asked, “How’s the palace lord now?”
“He’s resting.” Mo Qingcheng replied. “Let’s enter before we continue.”
“Right.” Fairy Qingmei smiled. When she stared at Mo Qingcheng’s bearing, she was involuntarily reminded of Qing`er. Both of them were absolute beauties, no wonder that fellow Qin Wentian couldn’t bear to part with either of them.
Those in the Mo Residence were stunned once more when they learnt of the truth – these five ascendants were actually Qin Wentian’s subordinates.
“I heard that the situation in Chu now is extremely chaotic, the other ascendants of the various powers have also arrived in Chu.” After entering Mo Qingcheng’s courtyard, those of the Mo Residence immediately went to prepare a banquet for them.
“Why don’t we bring the palace lord away?” Fairy Qingmei continued.
Mo Qingcheng shook her head, “He’s afraid that it might implicate others and refuses to leave. Don’t worry about this matter, I have my ways to resolve this.”
Fairy Qingmei stared at Mo Qingcheng, her mist-like eyes flashed with a resplendent glow before nodding with a smile, “Since palace mistress has already spoken, we will naturally believe so. Do we just wait here for now?”
“Yes, just wait here for now. They should arrive soon.” Mo Qingcheng calmly replied. Although Mo Qingcheng said that she was confident, Fairy Qingmei and the others couldn’t help but feel worry in their hearts. Would they be able to escape unscathed this time around?
And just like what Qin Wentian had predicted, the other ascendants of Grand Xia chose to kill their way over. Since they had already hired the Darkshadow Sovereign to assassinate him, they might as well go all the way to ensure his death. There was no longer a path of retreat for them.
Even before they personally arrived, streams of terrifying auras already engulfed the Mo Residence. Everyone in the residence were trembling. Mo Qingcheng soared into the air with Fairy Qingmei and the others as they watched the enemy ascendants flying over.
Over ten Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants, gathered from all the transcendent powers of Grand Xia, descended onto the Mo Residence. An overwhelming pressure enveloped every inch of the Mo Residence, shaking those inside to their very cores as they stared at the ascendants in the air.
Feelings of complication flooded their hearts, was the Mo Residence finished?
“As expected, the lot of you came here too.” The ascendants’ eyes flashed with coldness upon seeing Fairy Qingmei and the rest. And just like what they anticipated, Qin Wentian was still in the Mo Residence, it appears that he was currently recuperating, hoping to recover from his injuries.
“What is your purpose in coming to my Mo Residence?” Mo Qingcheng stared at them as she asked.
“Your residence?” The Greencloud Sovereign was as though he heard the funniest joke in the world. Could it be that Mo Qingcheng didn’t know what the current situation was?
“Mo Qingcheng, Qin Wentian indiscriminately massacred transcendent powers of Grand Xia. Today, all of us banded together because of justice, and our purpose is to remove this poisonous tumor of Grand Xia. Since everyone in the Mo Residence is implicated in this, all of you shall die.” The Shi Ancestor coldly spoke.
“I urge that you all scram now. I dare to guarantee if there’s a single case of injury or death in my Mo Residence today, blood shall flow as thick as the rivers in Grand Xia soon after. No matter what sect or what clan you are, it shall all be razed to the ground.” Mo Qingcheng’s voice was glacial, the frost in her eyes was so cold that it caused even the ascendants to shiver in their hearts.
“Are you trying to threaten us?” The Wang Ancestor laughed coldly.
“Threatening you?” Mo Qingcheng stared at the Wang Ancestor. “This entire Grand Xia is termed as a land of desolation by those in the Royal Sacred Region, so desolate to the extent that none among them are willing to step into here. Any singular power in the Royal Sacred Region can effortlessly dominate the entirety of Grand Xia. My husband Qin Wentian wished for the reunification of Grand Xia simply because, a fragmented Grand Xia is too weak. So weak that it’s pitiable, that any outsiders can simply crush it if they find it within their interests to ever come here. The two of us returned from the Royal Sacred Region alone because of our wedding. Hence, we didn’t bring any experts from our sects here. If not, do you think that you would qualify to be so brazen in front of me with your low cultivation bases?”
As Mo Qingcheng spoke, her gaze roamed through the crowd. “Or could it be that you all believed that because the Pill Emperor Hall is destroyed, that once arrogant Jun Yu of the Royal Sacred Sect who is the disciple of an elder-level character would appear? And also, I wonder if any of you here are from the Hua Clan? Currently Hua Taixu is already a member of the Core Faction of the Royal Sacred Region. If your sights are still limited just to Grand Xia, that would truly be too disappointing.”
The old ancestor of the Hua Clan froze. Hua Taixu became a member of the Core Faction of the Royal Sacred Sect? He didn’t know exactly how impressive the Core Faction was, but from the tone of Mo Qingcheng, the Core Faction seemed to be pretty strong even in the perspective of the entire Royal Sacred Sect.
“Is what you said true?” The Hua Ancestor questioned.
“Hua Taixu and Qin Wentian both stepped into the Immortal Martial Realm of the Royal Sacred Region. Qin Wentian was ranked first while Hua Taixu and another genius were both ranked second, hence they received invites to become members of the Core Faction of the Royal Sacred Sect. Right now, Hua Taixu’s status is much higher compared to Jun Yu. You can choose to believe my words or not, I will simply say so much today. If you all leave now, I’m still willing to grant you an invitation to my wedding with Qin Wentian and you would naturally understand everything then. As for the matter you are all worried about, the reunification of Grand Xia shall happen one way or another. However, Wentian does not seek to destroy all the current transcendent powers but if you all still continue with your madness, don’t blame us. And let me give you a final warning. If you guys still refuse to retreat today, there won’t be any more room to save this situation. Even if you all succeeded in killing me and Qin Wentian, each and every transcendent power of Grand Xia shall join us in death.”
Each and every word of Mo Qingcheng was extremely sharp. The ascendants of the transcendent powers were all dumbstruck by her words, and were speechless for a long time. They were all contemplating what she had said.
Given Mo Qingcheng’s current demeanor, it was extremely probable that she had a very strong backer in the Royal Sacred Region. And since the second-ranked Hua Taixu had already become a member of the Core Faction of the Royal Sacred Sect, what about the top ranker Qin Wentian? Is there even still a need to say anything more?
Only after hearing Mo Qingcheng’s words did everyone in the Mo Residence understand how powerful Qin Wentian truly was. Qin Wentian also wished to reunify Grand Xia.
“Don’t be fooled by her words. She would say these today because she knew that the combined might of their ascendants are weaker than us. Don’t forget how domineering Qin Wentian was earlier, and if we don’t seize this opportunity to finish him off, there won’t be a second chance.” The Wang Ancestor icily stated. These were all old freaks who had lived for countless years, how could they trust people so easily or be frightened by mere words?
“Now, we are in an advantageous position. If we wait for Qin Wentian to recover, that might no longer be the case.” The Greencloud Sovereign also icily continued, their words instantly shook the other ascendants awake. Yes, they were truly stunned by Mo Qingcheng’s words, but the Wang Ancestor and Greencloud Sovereign also made sense. Mo Qingcheng would say that because she knew they were weaker than them, and today, was the best opportunity to destroy Qin Wentian.
“Why are you all still not coming out?” At this moment, the Shi Ancestor coldly commented. The other ascendants had no hints of surprise or shock on their faces, they long had already sensed that there were people hiding in the shadows.
And indeed, as the sound of his voice faded, more people appeared here.
“Jiang Clan, Thousand-Jue Alliance. Are you two here to join our coalition?” The Wang Ancestor stared at the newcomers. These people were the ascendants from the Jiang Clan and the Thousand-Jue alliance. Right now, the top-tier existence of every power in Grand Xia gathered in this remote and small country of Chu, causing the attention of everyone in Grand Xia to be focused here.
“Our allegiance was already sealed in the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan. Are the two of you having second thoughts now?” Fairy Qingmei asked. Ouyang Kuangsheng and Jiang Ting was already wedded. By rights, the Jiang Clan should be on their side but who didn’t know how treacherous the human heart could be? Especially in this situation where they were at an obvious disadvantage.
Right now, the two ascendants of the Jiang Clan felt extremely complicated. Back then although Qin Wentian said he wouldn’t hold it against them and they could be friends, they didn’t really have any deep dealings with each other in reality. They understood that Qin Wentian still had some ill intent towards their Jiang Clan; after all back then, it was the Jiang Clan who agreed to marry Jiang Ting to Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, forming an alliance with them. If they wished to get rid of this ill intent, this was a perfect opportunity. They had personally seen for themselves Qin Wentian’s strength and talent and if Grand Xia was truly reunified once more, those who followed Qin Wentian now would naturally be granted power over a part of Grand Xia.
However, if they stand on Qin Wentian’s side today, it would be extremely dangerous. After all, risk equates rewards, right now everything depended on their choice.
“Naturally. Back then in the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, we were already allies. Now that palace lord Qin is in trouble, how can our Jiang Clan sit on the fence?” One of the Jiang Clan ascendant spoke, his words caused the countenances of the other transcendent powers to turn unsightly. They then turned their gaze onto the ascendants from the Thousand-Jue Alliance, “How about the two of you?”
“Palace lord Qin is a fifth-jue elder of my alliance. Although he had never utilized the authority of a fifth-jue elder before, he’s still a guest elder of our Thousand-Jue Alliance. Now that all of you want to deal with him, our alliance would naturally be on his side.” The two ascendants of the Thousand-Jue Alliance smiled. And as the sound of their voice faded, the countenances of the other ascendants grew even more unsightly than before.
Right now, there were already nine ascendants on the side of Qin Wentian.
“Mo Qingcheng hereby thanks seniors for your help. After this matter, I Mo Qingcheng dares guarantee that the Jiang Clan and Thousand-Jue Alliance would definitely have a territory of their own in the future Grand Xia.” Mo Qingcheng softly spoke. Although these words of hers were simple, it eased the hearts of these four ascendants. After all, why did they take the risk to help Qin Wentian? Wasn’t it simply because of a promise for future benefits?
“Do all of you truly intend to help the scourge of Grand Xia?” The Shi Ancestor icily spoke, as a number of ascendants blasted out their auras.
“Everyone.” At this moment, the Hua Ancestor suddenly spoke. When the gazes of those present here turned to him, he slowly continued, “For this matter, my Hua Clan shall no longer take part. I bid you all farewell.”
After speaking, he actually directly left with another ascendant of the Hua Clan. Their actions caused the rest of their party to turn ashen. Their enemies got stronger while their own party became weaker.
But luckily, they still possessed an advantage.
“KILL!” The Shi Ancestor icily commanded. Since this matter had already reached this state, there was no longer a way to resolve this.
“Kill Qin Wentian and all their hopes shall be shattered!” The voice of the Greencloud Sovereign was ice cold. Everyone nodded their heads, the reason why the Thousand-Jue Alliance and the Jiang Clan would take this risk was because Qin Wentian was simply too outstanding. They didn’t wish to become vessels of others after Grand Xia was reunified. Hence, they chose to gamble, placing all their hopes onto Qin Wentian, on the shoulders of that young man who had created so many miracles!
Chapter 679: Who Wants To Kill Me?
The astral warbeasts Qin Wentian summoned had already rushed through the Royal Sacred Region, delivering his wedding invitations to the Medicine Sovereign Valley, Ye Country, and the Battle Sword Sect. The news of his wedding did not alert other powers that were in the Royal Sacred Region.
In the eyes of the experts from the Royal Sacred Region, Grand Xia was basically a land of desolation, who would shift their gaze onto a small remote country in a land of desolation? News of Qin Wentian vanished without trace from the Royal Sacred Region for quite a few months and many guessed that he was in close-door seclusion cultivation. As for those who received the invitations, they estimated the time needed to travel and started making preparations.
Di Tian, who was still in the immortal palace, still continued tempering himself madly by fighting the buried immortals.
At this moment, Di Tian was fighting against a middle-aged man clad in black armor. His opponent’s frame was muscular and sturdy and had a combat prowess as high as the heavens. Every time his palm imprints blasted out, this entire space would be enveloped by the might of his palms, effortlessly killing all enemies within it. Although Di Tian couldn’t clearly tell which true intent of Mandates were used in the fusion, he could still see that the true intent of Space had something to do with it.
Di Tian wielded an ancient halberd and struck out with it furiously only to see an incomparably huge palm imprint blotting out the skies and sun, burying him within the space to the extent where he couldn’t even see the outside world. In every fight, Di Tian was tortured half to death. If it isn’t for the fact that all these immortals were showing mercy, he would already have died countless times.
“Bzz!” Yet another palm imprint blasted out. Di Tian’s eyes turned cold as the halberd in his hands erupted outwards. In an instant, a resplendent glow circulated around, arcing through the skies, in a manner that resembled slashing out and piercing.
“Chi, chi…”
A brilliant scar appeared on the incoming palm imprint. After the halberd sliced through the air, a formless destructive power spun like a vortex in all eight directions as the tyrannical destructive energy instantly exploded alongside with the palm imprint.
“Good job.” The middle-aged man stepped out, punching out with a fist with an indomitable might that pressed down on Di Tian from the sky.
“Bzz!”
Di Tian directly soared upwards, crushing out with his halberd. Every where his halberd passed, the terrifying destructive energy containing immense strength would erupt. With a thunderous boom, the halberd landed onto the fist imprint, exploding it once again.
However, the attack speed of his opponent grew faster and faster as Di Tian’s counter attack became increasingly fiercer as well. The destructive energy ravaged this entire space, it seemed as though both their energies had been compressed to the limits and was at an astonishing level of power.
Finally when everything stopped, the middle-aged man retreated to one side and smiled at Di Tian. “Not bad, the power of your Sword Demonforce fusion intent has already surpassed that of the Illusory Demonforce and could be said that that was your strongest attack. Also, if you infuse this brand of energy into your sword techniques or palm arts, the might they are capable of unleashing would increase exponentially.”
“Mhm, it has finally been perfected. The pure attacking strength of the Sword Demonforce is fiercer compared to the Illusory Demonforce, yet it lacks the illusory aspect that creates confusion. It’s a type of energy that belonged to the pure power classification.” Di Tian nodded.
“Your rate of improvement is simply unbelievable. I’m truly anticipating the day when you can defeat me.” The sturdy and muscular middle-aged man laughed. Through these days, Di Tian’s rate of improvement had shocked all the immortals here. Maybe, there was really a chance that he could clear all the tests.
“I also hope to be able to clear the tests as soon as possible, gaining control of the immortal palace. If that’s the case, seniors wouldn’t have to endure the agony of being sealed any more.” Di Tian sighed, as he turned. From a far, many pairs of eyes were staring at him and in these gazes, they were all filled with the light of hope.
This made Di Tian clenched his fist tightly, he definitely had to achieve it.
…
In Chu, Mo Residence, a great battle was on the verge of happening.
“Kill Qin Wentian!” The Shi Ancestor issued an order. Instantly, the enemy experts soared upwards at the same moment, all of them unleashed their constellations as the sky itself was replaced by these dazzling celestial phenomena.
“STOP THEM!” Fairy Qingmei’s expression was incredibly unsightly. She advanced towards the Shi Ancestor as she unleashed her Shadow Glamor Constellation.
“The choice you all have made was a foolish one.” The Wang Ancestor stared at the Jiang Ancestor as he coldly remarked. After which, he rushed the Jiang Ancestor as ten-thousand feet of blade light emanated from his constellation, cascading down the sky.
“Hmph.” The Jiang Ancestor snorted coldly as he flew up to meet the attacks. Right now, they could only hope that Qin Wentian still had a trump card up his sleeves. If not, this would truly be a very dangerous battle with no returns.
“Everyone in the Mo Residence, evacuate immediately.” Mo Qingcheng stood in the air as she instructed. Those in the Mo Residence all felt extremely helpless, they could only choose to flee. In front of these experts, they didn’t even have the strength even if they wanted to help.
On Mo Qingcheng’s body, the glow of a resplendent white-colored flame radiated out of her. This flame soon enveloped her entire body, acting akin to an armor of flame, protecting her. A terrifying might of incineration gushed out from her, this was a defensive life-saving treasure that has both attack and defensive properties which was given to her by the Medicine Sovereign.
She retreated, protecting the courtyard which Qin Wentian was in but soon after, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows when she saw quite a few Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants rushing her way.
Although they had nine ascendants on their side, their enemies still had more people after all. They could easily hold back the nine ascendants and send the excess to kill Qin Wentian. This was their number one mission.
Among these three ascendants, one of them was an ascendant from the Star-Seizing Manor, the second one was the Swordlord of Yan while the third ascendant hailed from the Demon Continent.
“Move out of the way.” The voice of the Swordlord was extremely sharp. Instantly, boundless sword light cascaded from the sky as whistling sounds rang out unceasing. The buildings below were all lacerated into pieces as they started collapsing wherever the rays of sword light landed.
A dazzling halo of colored-flame manifested around Mo Qingcheng, enveloping Qin Wentian within, blocking him from the damage.
“How can you block the three of us? He will die for sure today.” The Swordlord calmly spoke. After which, his hands folded into sword mudras as a sword coalesced from the astral light of his constellation. With a flick of his fingers, the sword manifested into nine, shining with a resplendent glow as they shot towards Mo Qingcheng.
The flames of incineration that Mo Qingcheng’s armor was producing grew even more intense. Both her fists punched out in the air, penetrating the void as the flames of incineration swept over everything, colliding with the swords.
“Hmph.” The ascendant from the Demon Continent snorted as he soared up the skies. It felt as though there were ten thousand demonic beasts rushing towards Mo Qingcheng, wanting to trample her underneath this stampede. Mo Qingcheng’s countenance paled as the light from her flames was so intense that it felt she could even burn the heavens. She then directed the flames of incineration towards the beast tide.
At this moment, a stream of terrifying palm strikes directly blasted apart the protective halo of flames. That ascendant from the Star-Seizing Manor directly appeared above Qin Wentian. As he stared at Qin Wentian who appeared to be in a comatose state, killing intent flashed in his eyes. Resplendent light gathered on his palms, building up energy for a devastating attack.
However at this instant, that comatose Qin Wentian suddenly opened his eyes. A terrifying beam of coldness shot out, so cold that it even caused the ascendant of the Star-Seizing Manor to feel his heart shivering.
A third-eye appeared in the center of Qin Wentian’s brows as a fearsome spiral appeared in the depths of both his eyes. This entire world seemed to dim, becoming a space of Qin Wentian’s creation as reality was drawn into the spirals in his eyes. After which, Qin Wentian slowly stood up as he transformed into a beam of light, killing his way towards the ascendant.
“SCRAM!” The Star-Seizing Manor ascendant roared in rage, blasting out with a palm. A thunderous rumbling sound rang out as the space trembled as a violent destructive current ravaged his surroundings. The eyes of that expert flashed with sharpness as he jabbed his fingers into the center of his brows, as a brilliant burst of light erupted forth from both his eyes, forcing himself to wake up from this illusion. And as expected, the world regained its usual clarity. He cursed at himself for being careless, he had actually entered into Qin Wentian’s dreamscape earlier. Luckily he was powerful enough and had a strong enough will. If it was someone at the Heavenly Dipper Realm, just a glance from Qin Wentian would be sufficient to bring them into his dreamscape and there would be no way for them to extricate themselves from him.
But at this moment in reality, Qin Wentian had already stood up. He sliced his finger lightly across the demon sword, allowing his blood to dye it red as torrential amounts of sword qi towered up into the skies. A resplendent of light seemingly from an extremely terrifying energy source enveloped his body, transforming into a suit of armor.
“You want to kill me?” Qin Wentian brandished the demon sword and slowly walked forward in the air. His white robes fluttered in the wind and although he appeared weak, a single glance from him actually struck terror in the heart of the ascendant from the Star-Seizing Manor.
“Do you know how Ouyang Mutian died?” Qin Wentian asked. His voice seemed to contain a magical power that would cause fear to bloom in the hearts of those who heard it.
“He’s already a spent force, an arrow at the end of its flight. KILL HIM!” The Swordlord in the air commanded. Astral light cascaded onto the body of the ascendant from the Star-Seizing Manor as millions upon millions of palm imprints manifested from his constellation, slamming down from the sky. Qin Wentian slowly continued advancing, the storm of sword qi surrounding him lacerated each and every palm imprint that was descending from the air.
“Is that so?” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with ridicule as he continued his path.
“DIE!” A terrifying astral light emanated from the ascendant as he slammed out with an ultimate strike, even more radiant compared to the glow of constellations.
“ROAR!” An incomparably fearsome howl of a demonic being rent the air. A phantom-like figure separated itself from Qin Wentian as the blood-glow from it illuminated the heavens. This was a demon phantom with the form of Qin Wentian, it was none other than the Bloodline Protection ability.
The demon phantom blasted out with a strike, slamming his palms together against the palm attack as an overwhelming demonic qi swept over this space. The ultimate palm imprint of the ascendant then exploded, causing him to tremble. What was that thing that had parried his strike?
And at this moment, Qin Wentian who had been advancing forward suddenly slashed out with his demon sword. The demon sword directly arced through the skies as a terrifying maelstrom of destruction appeared, so powerful that even the space was vibrating, breaking apart every second.
This sword strike appeared extremely ordinary, yet it caused the ascendant of the Star-Seizing Manor’s heart to pound from terror.
Roaring in rage, the ascendant slammed out with both his palms, yet at the instant the palm imprints came into contact with the demon sword, they instantly disintegrated.
“Puchi!”
The demon sword pierced into the body of the Star-Seizing Manor’s ascendant albeit that it wasn’t in a crucial spot. However, a deep fear was etched on the features of the ascendant, despair was the only emotion that could be seen in his eyes.
The other ascendants who were fighting in mid air all turned their gazes over in that direction. Their eyes narrowed and under their gazes, that ascendant from the Star-Seizing Manor disintegrated slowly, transforming into nothingness.
Qin Wentian then retrieved the demon sword which hung suspended in the air. His eyes turned to the other enemy ascendants in the air as he coldly inquired, “Which of you still wants to kill me?”
Chapter 680: Frightened into Retreat
The battle in the air seemed to stop abruptly because the gazes of everyone was staring at Qin Wentian, their hearts all pounding intently.
The constellation of the Star-Seizing Manor was slashed into two by a single sword. How powerful was that earlier attack?
Qin Wentian’s eyes swept over the crowd. Although he currently wasn’t exuding a terrifyingly strong aura, there was a mysterious energy currently circulating all over him that was so powerful that it even caused ascendants to feel an intense threat.
Qin Wentian had the demon sword in his hand as he advanced forward. On the sword, particles of light glimmered, actually leaving scars in the air everywhere Qin Wentian passed by. This surge of destructive energy permeated this space completely and was so strong that it felt like if anything touches it, they would instantly disintegrate suffering the same fate as the ascendant from the Star-Seizing Manor.
“This is a power born from fusion of true intents, and it’s one that belongs to the absolute attack category.” The countenances of the enemy ascendants all became extremely ugly to behold. The strongest ascendant among them had only managed to fuse a total of two intents, using that to condense their constellation. One must know that a majority of the ascendants in Grand Xia only used a singular true intent to condense their constellation, and these people belonged to the weakest tier of Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants yet Qin Wentian had already succeeded in fusing two or more true intents when he’s merely at Heavenly Dipper. Once he stepped into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, how terrifying would his attacks be?
The demon sword lightly hummed, causing sword melody to echo unceasingly in the wind. The sword scars in the space grew longer and longer, Qin Wentian advanced to the center of the battle field and swept his eyes over the crowd, “Attempting to kill me when I was injured? Excellent choice, let me give all of you two choices now. First, continue killing me; second, scram the fuck away immediately and attend my grand wedding that’s soon coming up. I will announce how I shall deal with you all then.”
Qin Wentian’s voice was filled with an overwhelming dominance, so tyrannical that it caused the hearts of the enemy ascendants to shudder.
They were now somewhat afraid of Qin Wentian. Ever since Qin Wentian’s return to Grand Xia, he had accomplished too many frightening things. He decimated the ascendants of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, restructured the Azure Emperor Palace, suppressing all the experts within it to the limits. Indicating his intent to reunify Grand Xia he even relocated the Azure Emperor Palace to the ancient kingdom. This was the reason why the various powers hired the Darkshadow Sovereign to assassinate him.
However, the Darkshadow Sovereign had actually failed. Fleeing after being heavily injured and refused to continue with the mission whatsoever. It even felt like the Darkshadow Sovereign was a little afraid of Qin Wentian.
It was the Darkshadow Sovereign which caused Qin Wentian to be injured. In fact, many of them could have acted, killing their way over to him when they arrived here. Yet all of them were crafty old foxes that were exceptionally scheming, choosing rather to face one of the nine ascendants on Qin Wentian’s side instead of taking the risk to see whether if Qin Wentian had some hidden trump cards up his sleeves.
And as expected, he did have a trump card which resulted in the death of that ascendant from the Star-Seizing Manor. His death only served to deepen their fear of Qin Wentian.
That young man who stood in the center of the battlefield with the demon sword in his hands made these old monsters quiver in fear deep in their hearts.
“I don’t believe he has the strength to deal with all of us. Don’t listen to his boasting, he must be trying to frighten us.” A voice rang out, the Greencloud Sovereign was staring at Qin Wentian from afar, his eyes extremely cold.
Qin Wentian turned his gaze onto him, as he mocked, “Why are you standing so far away? Come and kill me then.”
The crowd’s gazes all landed onto the Greencloud Sovereign and momentarily, someone added, “Go and kill him, we shall act as your protectors.”
The Greencloud Sovereign furrowed his brows as he frowned. He then glanced at the person who spoke while he sneered in his heart. He wasn’t a fool, these bunch of old foxes wanted him to kill Qin Wentian? What if Qin Wentian fought with his life on the line? Even though right now he might be a spent force, there was still a chance that Qin Wentian would be able to kill him.
“If you don’t come over, let me go over to you then.” Qin Wentian stepped out, moving towards the Greencloud Sovereign as his demon sword left scars in the air. The currents of destructiveness circulated around him and his incomparably sharp eyes were fixed on the Greencloud Sovereign, striking terror in the depths of his heart.
The Greencloud Sovereign turned ashened, “Everyone let’s act together, I’m sure he won’t be able to endure much longer.”
Nobody cared about him, of course these people wouldn’t care about the life and death of the Greencloud Sovereign. They might as well use him to test the depths of Qin Wentian’s strength.
When he saw that everyone was ignoring him, the expression on the Greencloud Sovereign’s face grew even more unsightly to behold. “Since all of you refuse to act, just wait for your deaths then.”
After speaking, he abruptly turned and directly fled with great speed, vanishing in an instant.
Staring at the Greencloud Sovereign who disappeared, Qin Wentian didn’t bother to pursue him. His gaze swept over the other ascendants and right now, these enemy ascendants were so frightened by Qin Wentian that not one of them dared to act. It could be said that this was also a kind of irony.
Everyone was selfish by nature, nobody wanted to be the first to act. After all, they had personally witnessed the death of the ascendant from the Star-Seizing Manor.
“Don’t dare to kill me, yet all of you are not getting lost yet?” Qin Wentian stared at the silent ascendants as he moved towards a second person. This time, the person he chose was an ascendant from the Multidirectional Thunderwind Sect. That person turned ashened, staring in panic at the others yet right now, everyone of them was hesitating, they were caught in a situation where either the fish dies or the net splits.
“FINE! I WILL ACT!” That ascendant roared in anger. His constellation appeared as wind and thunder ravaged his surroundings, engulfing this space, gushing over to Qin Wentian.
And in an instant, the force field of destruction circulating Qin Wentian grew even more intense. As long as anything came near him, they would be directly annihilated. Qin Wentian dragged the demon sword along and right now, the glow from the sword was incomparably resplendent, as blinding as the sun itself.
“The attacks from constellations won’t be able to touch him.” The hearts of the crowd trembled. A third-eye opened in the center of Qin Wentian’s brows as his will burrowed into the sea of consciousness of that ascendant. That ascendant’s eyes turned misty, as though he was currently in two realities. He gritted his teeth, not allowing himself to fall completely into the dreamscape.
A white light then streaked out, leaving a brilliant golden afterglow. An extremely sharp pair of fangs directly shot towards the ascendant with a speed as quick as lightning, wanting to take a bite out of him.
“VILE BEAST!” The ascendant lifted his palms as streaks of terrifying energy currents condensed into a Windthunder Diagram, directly blasting outwards. That white glow was an incredibly baleful demonic beast and as the sound of their collision rang out, the fangs and claws of the beast broke apart the diagram as the beast wrenched its maw wide, chomping towards his throat.
“Bzz!”
At the same time, Qin Wentian’s demon sword slashed through the air. Everywhere the sword passed by, everything faded away into nothingness.
The expression on the face of the ascendant drastically changed. He soared up into the air akin to a bolt of lightning; yet at this moment, Qin Wentian split himselves into numerous incarnations. With a howl of anger, countless palm imprints blasted outwards, completely covering this space, annihilating everything that came into contact with it.
Each and every palm imprint transformed into spinning spirals of destruction, resembling a storm at the day of apocalypse, even shredding apart space. That ascendant from the Multidirectional Thunderwind Sect was caught in the center of the storm. An expression of stark terror flashed on his countenance as he felt the destructive energies gushing into his body.
“DIE!” Qin Wentian’s palms slammed out once more, causing a thunderous boom. The might unleashed was so powerful that even the skies changed color. The only thing remaining in the air was the afterglow left behind by the currents of destruction.
“Gulp!” Somebody swallowed a mouthful of saliva, involuntarily trembling at Qin Wentian’s display of might.
Too overwhelming, he is just like a god of death. Whoever he walked towards to would die without a doubt.
That demonic beast then landed on Qin Wentian’s shoulder. It was actually a cute little snowy puppy yet everyone had witnessed how terrifying it could be earlier when it unleashed the attack.
The demon sword was retracted, Qin Wentian turned his gaze onto the ascendants once more but this time around, nobody dared to look him in the eye directly.
“Seems like all of you still wish to kill me.” Qin Wentian chose another target and advanced towards that person. That person abruptly turned and shouted, “Qin Wentian, the grudge between us isn’t deep. I was the only one against the earlier incident of hiring the Darkshadow Sovereign but I was overruled. From this moment onwards, I won’t interfere in your matters ever again.”
After speaking, that ascendant turned and directly left, completely vanishing soon after.
The Shi Ancestor’s countenance turned incredibly ugly to behold upon seeing this situation. Earlier, all of them should have already acted together when Qin Wentian was dealing with the ascendant from the Multidirectional Thunderwind Sect. However, people are all selfish by nature, they wanted to probe Qin Wentian’s combat prowess, no one wanted to take the risk. Yet even then, they discovered that they still weren’t able to see through Qin Wentian while the combat strength of their side keep getting diminished.
Right now gauging the strength of both side, the Shi Ancestor realized that it was probably impossible for them to kill Qin Wentian any longer.
“Since this is the case, we will all certainly be here on the date of your grand wedding to listen respectfully to your ‘guidance.’ ” The Shi Ancestor drew in a deep breath. Now, the morale of their group has already completely disappeared, he could only choose to give up.
As the sound of his voice faded, everyone let out a sigh yet for some unknown reason, they all felt more relaxed now. They had lived a life of safety and security for too long. As leaders of transcendent powers, it has been a long time since they acted personally in combat and were all used to an easy life style. The pressure and threat of death Qin Wentian brought to them was exceedingly great, even to the point of stifling them.
A wind gusted by, the Shi Ancestor was the first to leave. His long robes fluttered in the wind as he sighed unceasingly in his heart. Since they already missed this opportunity, it would be as hard as ascending to the heavens if they wanted to kill Qin Wentian in the future.
Unless he waited for the date of Qin Wentian’s grand wedding and incited all the ascendants of Grand Xia to make a move?
After the Shi Ancestor departed, the various ascendants left one after another as well, swiftly vacating this area.
The ascendants of the Jiang Clan and Thousand-Jue Alliance all had smiles on their faces. They had betted on the right person. Staring at the young man wielding the demon sword standing arrogantly in the air, they felt that they were old, they were truly old. In the future, Grand Xia shall belong to him.
Wait…no. How can the future of this young man be limited merely to Grand Xia?
Those from the Mo Clan slowly returned, they had been spectating this entire scene from afar. Even though before this, many of them were already in awe of Qin Wentian, right now they all realized that they had still underestimated him.
These people who came here earlier were all ascendants of Grand Xia. Even someone like the Greencloud Sovereign was considered one of the weaker ones among them.
But in front of these people Qin Wentian was still as domineering, still as tyrannical. He didn’t fear them at all.
Qin Wentian then turned his attention and nodded his head to the ascendants of the Jiang Clan and Thousand-Jue Alliance. “On the date of my wedding, the Jiang Clan and Thousand-Jue Alliance will be treated as valued guests.”
“Thank you Palace Lord Qin, it’s all good as long as you are fine.” Smiles appeared on the faces of the four ascendants. Seems like the reunification of Grand Xia will happen one way or another and after that, as to who would have the authority in this new era, that was another matter altogether.
“I’m going to cultivate now.” Qin Wentian calmly stated. After which he slowly descended and returned to the room he was in. This scene made the ascendants from the Jiang Clan and Thousand-Jue Alliance all wonder what would happen if the enemy ascendants ignored everything and went all out in their bid to slaughter Qin Wentian? What would the ending be like then?
But this question…only Qin Wentian would know the answer to that. Nobody knew how heavy his injuries were. What everyone saw was the undoubtable fact that he had killed two Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants in a domineering manner.
Chapter 681: Arriving One After Another
After the ascendants of Grand Xia retreated, the damage done to the Mo Residence was swiftly repaired. Fairy Qingmei and the other allied ascendants all remained in the Mo Residence, as did those from the Jiang Clan and the Thousand-Jue Alliance.
They remained here to protect the residence so as to prevent the other ascendants from making a move again and secondly, they could improve their relationship with Qin Wentian. But sadly, Qin Wentian spent these few days in close-door seclusion with only Mo Qingcheng allowed to accompany him. She was the only one who knew of the current state of his injuries, none of the others had any idea completely.
They speculated that this time around, Qin Wentian might truly be heavily injured. After encountering the assassination attempt of the Darkshadow Sovereign, he ignored his injuries and fought the enemy ascendants again, frightening the others away. Such battle achievements truly caused chills to bloom in the hearts of people. It was no wonder that the other ascendants would be intimidated by Qin Wentian, leaving albeit reluctantly. They didn’t dare to use their lives as stakes for their gamble.
Time slowly passed by, the date to Qin Wentian’s wedding got nearer and nearer. The Royal Capital of Chu was bustling with activities, and the Emperor Chu Wuwei would frequently pay a visit to the Mo Residence. Qin Chuan was the same as well, he was here to discuss the details of the marriage. Eventually, the location of their grand wedding was set in the Emperor Star Academy, the sacred cultivation grounds of Chu and also the place where Qin Wentian had grown up. This location was undoubtedly the most suitable one and with regards to this, the elders of the academy were naturally more than willing to show their support.
Within the Mo Residence, Mo Yu and Mo Feng was currently cultivating. The two ascendants of the Jiang Clan sat beside them and one of them was currently smiling as he watched over the two youngsters, “Mo Feng, you need to strike out with more force. Line the spear up with your arm and control the strength based on your heart before concentrating everything at one point and erupting out with all your might.”
“Mo Yu, your swordplay is too flowery. You need to move sharper and be more decisive.”
Around them were old man Mo as well as some elders of the Mo Clan. All of them had smiles on their faces because during these few days, the ascendants of the Jiang Clan and Thousand-Jue alliance would frequently guide the younger generation of the Mo Clan in their cultivation. This was a thing none of them dared to ever imagine. After all, these people were existences on par with the Greencloud Sovereign and had even made their name much earlier compared to him; yet now, they were actually guiding the youngsters of the Mo Clan in cultivation.
Not only that, they were also extremely courteous but those of the Mo Residence didn’t let this go to their head. They knew these ascendants were doing this only for one reason – Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian was simply too domineering, so domineering to the extent that the other ascendants feared him. It was precisely because of this reason that the ascendants of the Jiang Clan and Thousand-Jue Alliance wanted to improve their relationship with him. This was also why they were willing to stay here to protect the Mo Residence as well as guide the youngsters on their cultivation.
“Old man Mo, hasn’t palace lord Qin awake yet? The date of their grand wedding is soon approaching.” The Jiang Ancestor turned his gaze onto old man Mo as he asked with a smile.
“He hasn’t yet regained conscious. Qingcheng is currently taking care of him and since she didn’t say anything about delaying the wedding date, I’m sure she’s confident that he would wake soon.” Old man Mo replied.
“True, palace mistress should know best. I was too anxious.” The Jiang Ancestor laughed as he continued, “That two youngster Ouyang and Jiang Ting are also too much. After they showed up here, I’m still waiting for them to help out in the preparations.”
“Haha no matter, they are after all a pair of newlyweds too.” Old man Mo laughed. He naturally already knew who Ouyang Kuangsheng and Jiang Ting were.
“Mhm, true true. Speaking of which, it seems that there’s really such a thing as fate. When the two of them were young they were already very good friends; and now after ten years, the relationship between palace lord Qin and Ouyang is still as good as ever, as close as brothers. How rare, how rare.” The Jiang Ancestor was speaking to old man Mo like an equal, causing old man Mo to feel a little unused to this.
“Haha, there must really be such a thing as fate, Back then in the Moon Continent, palace lord Qin wasn’t even nineteen but he was already a fourth-ranked divine inscriptionist grandmaster. That’s when our Thousand-Jue Alliance already knew that he would definitely be an extraordinary character in the future hence we invited him to be our guest elder.” One of the ascendant from the Thousand-Jue Alliance walked over and smiled, his words causing the Jiang Ancestor to stare at him with some disdain, “Don’t boast here okay. At that time, I gather you didn’t even know who palace lord Qin was right?”
“Why are you talking like you knew of him then?” The ascendant from the Thousand-Jue Alliance replied in contempt. Seeing the two peak-level existences arguing in this manner, the others of the Mo Clan who were in the surroundings could only roll their eyes in silence.
“Who?” At this moment, the eyes of the ascendant from the Thousand-Jue Alliance and Jiang Ancestor instantly radiated a terrifying light. Their gazes turned to the horizon as they felt some trepidation in their heart. They could sense several strong auras currently flying over this way.
Stretching their perception outwards, the expressions on their faces soon stiffened as a look of bewilderment appeared. After which, they soared into the airspace above the Mo Residence and not only did they appear there, Fairy Qingmei and the others also arrived.
Those in the Mo Residence soon realized that something was unusual. Now, they could feel that there was an incredibly powerful might locking on to the Mo Residence and the stronger ones among them also rose up into the air.
From afar, a row of female silhouettes could be seen flying over. Each of them were so beautiful that they resembled fairies. All of them had extraordinary demeanors and a majority were exceptionally powerful.
“There are so many Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants among them.” The Jiang Ancestor and the rest all felt their hearts trembling as they stared warily at the group of maidens.
The group of maidens came to a stop in the airspace above the Mo Residence as their gazes shifted onto a particular courtyard, causing everyone to feel extremely nervous.
“Bzz!”
Those silhouettes slowly descended, advancing towards the courtyard.
“Halt!” Fairy Qingmei called out. However, this group of maidens completely ignored her. One among their number coldly glanced at Fairy Qingmei and just a single glance caused Fairy Qingmei to shake involuntarily from fear.
At this moment, a figure walked out from the residence in that particular courtyard. It was none other than Mo Qingcheng.
These maidens all landed in the courtyard and stood in front of Mo Qingcheng, their actions causing Fairy Qingmei and the other ascendants to feel an extremely uneasy in their hearts. These mysterious experts poses too much threat.
However at the next instant, under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone, these maidens were all actually bowing to Mo Qingcheng as they called out in one voice.
“We greet the Holy Maiden.”
An entire row of experts in the same clothing were bowing in respect to Mo Qingcheng. This scene caused Fairy Qingmei, the ascendants of the Jiang Clan and the Thousand-Jue Alliance, and people of the Mo Residence an intense rush of impact. They were all instantly dumbstruck as their hearts began pounding rapidly with realization.
They stared at Mo Qingcheng only to see that she was calmly regarding these maidens. Only at this instant did they truly sense the aura radiating from Mo Qingcheng. What was laughable was that earlier, they were still wondering why wasn’t Mo Qingcheng the slightest bit afraid when facing so many Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants.
And these were all extremely powerful ascendants. For those ascendants of Grand Xia, Mo Qingcheng’s subordinates could effortlessly decimate them even if they all chose to band together.
Although the ascendants from the Jiang Clan and Thousand-Jue Alliance were shocked, they soon felt joy in their hearts. They knew that the ending of Grand Xia was already determined. What was laughable was that the ascendants of the other transcendent powers still joined forces and acted against Qin Wentian earlier. If it wasn’t for Qin Wentian being careless and forgot to account for an assassin as powerful as the Darkshadow Sovereign. He only needed to wait for these people and he would be able to easily dominate Grand Xia.
“When will master be coming?” Mo Qingcheng stared at her subordinates as she asked.
“Medicine Sovereign should be able to make it on time, he sent us here first just in case there’s anything the Holy Maiden needed us to do.” The leader of the maidens stated.
“Right.” Mo Qingcheng nodded. After which, she turned to Fairy Qingmei and the others as she spoke, “If Fairy Qingmei is free, please feel free to bring them around Grand Xia. Before the wedding date has arrived, I want to send an invitation to every transcendent power of Grand Xia. Not a single one of them must miss our wedding. This is also something Wentian wants.”
“Noted.” Fairy Qingmei nodded, feeling her heart shaking slightly. She knew that from now on, the ending of Grand Xia was already determined. There would be no more variables.
“You stay behind and await further orders.” Mo Qingcheng stared at the leader of the maidens.
“Roger, Holy Maiden.” That person nodded. After which, Fairy Qingmei, Old Xing and the other ascendants of the Azure Emperor Palace brought the experts from the Medicine Sovereign Valley around Grand Xia, splitting into three teams, sending out invitations to all the transcendent powers.
Mo Qingcheng turned and returned to her room. Qin Wentian opened his eyes and sat up, smiling at Mo Qingcheng, “My wife is getting more and more imposing now.”
Mo Qingcheng rolled her eyes before sitting next to Qin Wentian. She then retrieved a medicinal pill and fed it to him.
“Still need to eat this?” Qin Wentian had a bitter expression on his face. These few days, he had been downing pills like no tomorrow. Mo Qingcheng had been concocting and feeding him with over ten varieties of medicinal pills every day.
“Are you eating or not?” Mo Qingcheng’s lips twitched. Staring at the adorable countenance of Mo Qingcheng, Qin Wentian gently caressed her face as he smiled, “Of course I’m eating. It’s delicious. I’m just worried, would I be over nourishing myself with my consumption of so many pills recently.
After speaking, he swallowed the pill Mo Qingcheng placed in his mouth with an appearance of enjoying the medicinal pill immensely.
“You should know that these pills I concocted can help you restore your spirit and essence as well as to nourish your bloodline, even slowly recovering your vitality. You should know how much you overloaded. You mustn’t be this impulsive in the future.” Mo Qingcheng gently admonished Qin Wentian.
“Got it.” Qin Wentian gently moved his hands down and caress Mo Qingcheng’s frame as she laid over his thighs. He then smiled, “Qingcheng, very soon we shall be married. There’s still time if you regret it now.”
“I’ve already regretted for over ten years. After boarding your pirate ship, there’s no longer an escape route for me.” Mo Qingcheng teased as she quietly laid there. Although Qin Wentian was injured during this period, it was truly rare for them to have time to enjoy such a quiet lifestyle together.
“Oh so you’ve boarded my pirate ship. Do you want to have a taste of my devil claws as well?” Qin Wentian’s hands began to grow more mischievous, causing a streak of red to bloom on Mo Qingcheng’s face. She then glared at him in a charming manner, so beautiful that it could mesmerize his soul even when she was acting angry…
On the second day, more people arrived at the Mo Residence. Once again, these people all exuded an extraordinary demeanor. Luckily this time around, those of the Mo Residence were already prepared in their hearts. After exchanging greetings, they learnt that this group of people were here to look for Qin Wentian. This caused many to wonder…yesterday it was the sect members of Mo Qingcheng who arrived. Could it be that this group of people are all from Qin Wentian’s sect?
Qin Wentian wore a simple white robe and stepped out of the room. This was the first time during this period he went outside. And upon seeing these familiar silhouettes, a warm smile flashed on his face.
“Senior Brother Lin Shuai, Senior Brother Feixue, Sis Lingshuang, all of you have arrived.” Qin Wentian smiled as he walked towards this group of people. All of them were his good friends from the Battle Sword Sect. He nodded to them and when he noticed Lou Bingyu among the group, his eyes flashed with a strange glow but he still greeted her with a smile. He didn’t expect even someone with such a cold temperament like Lou Bingyu would actually be here for his wedding.
“Wentian how are you? Why do you seem somewhat weak?” Lin Shuai bewilderedly asked as he stared at Qin Wentian.
“Nothing much, I’m just a little fatigued. There’s no need to worry about me senior brother.” Qin Wentian smiled. Those present here all silently stated that their guess was right, seems like these people were truly from Qin Wentian’s sect, and all of them were extraordinary characters. Especially the person which Qin Wentian referred to as Senior Brother Lin Shuai. Earlier when the Jiang Ancestor matched gazes with this man, he could deeply feel the sharpness in the depths of his eyes. Although this Lin Shuai was very young compared to him, the Jiang Ancestor was very sure that his combat prowess was extremely terrifying, far surpassing the ascendants he knew in Grand Xia!
