The Southern Phoenix Matriarch’s beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian, “The sacred luminance is a truly sacred item. Why didn’t you use this as the condition to get my Southern Phoenix Clan to help?”
“Junior and Yunxi are originally already friends that can head to the death for each other. I also have many years of friendship with the Southern Phoenix Clan and you, the Southern Phoenix Matriarch, even saved my life before. I’m just doing what I ought to do. If I use this as a condition, I would really be too despicable. Also, in any case, if I cannot pass this tribulation, I’m not willing to implicate the Southern Phoenix Clan within.”
Qin Wentian slowly spoke. “It’s just that, I hope that after I die, the Southern Phoenix Clan would still be able to maintain their current relationship with the Evergreen Immortal Empire and help me take care of Qing`er. In the future, if the sacred luminance is able to aid the Southern Phoenix Clan in growing stronger, there’s naturally nothing I desire more.”
“Qin Wentian…” Nanfeng Yunxi’s heart trembled as an expression of sorrow appeared on her face. Was he making funeral arrangements?
The Southern Phoenix Matriarch also sighed in her heart. She truly thought that Qin Wentian would be at the peak of the immortal realms if he had time to grow. Is there really no way for him to escape this calamity?
“This cauldron, I shall hand it to matriarch to keep it for me. If you can use it to unleash greater power, please feel free to use it directly.” Qin Wentian spoke. The Southern Phoenix Matriarch’s beautiful eyes flashed. He was truly making funeral arrangements. What a rare thing the sacred luminance was, just by using it to baptize the experts of their Southern Phoenix Clan, this act was already sufficient to repay them everything they had done for him. Now, he even passed the ownership of the sacred cauldron to her. He was truly making funeral arrangements and hoped that she would take good care of Qing`er for him in the future.
“Good.” The Southern Phoenix Matriarch didn’t reject it.
“Yunxi and I are extremely close friends, she is also a holy successor of your clan. I hope matriarch will be able to take better care of her.” Qin Wentian laughed.
“You this fellow, Yunxi is a member of my Southern Phoenix Clan, where would I need you to remind me about this? If it wasn’t for the fact that your emotions for Evergreen Qing`er were too deep, I long wanted to betroth her to you.” The Southern Phoenix Matriarch casually laughed, her words causing Nanfeng Yunxi’s heart to shake as she blushed and stealthily stole a glance at Qin Wentian.
“Phoenix Matriarch, you shouldn’t make jokes with a soon to be dead man like me.” Qin Wentian bitterly smiled and shook his head.
“You really have no plans to train in the nirvana art of our Southern Phoenix Clan?” The Southern Phoenix Matriarch asked.
“It’s fine.” Qin Wentian shook his head. “Time is almost up, I should begin my journey there.”
“No hurry. When the time comes, I will personally send you there.” The Southern Phoenix Matriarch stared at Qin Wentian. Her words caused his eyes to flash as he nodded lightly.
…….
In the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, within the Darknorth Mountains, the mountains of law appeared once more.
Inside the forbidden ground, a beautiful figure exuding magnificence could be seen. She was clad in robes of a simple design, but this did nothing to diminish her beauty.
She slowly walked into the depths of the forbidden ground, entering the place she entered before. She walked past the two stone monuments that could suppress everything, flowing with a strange light, entering the ruins. She glanced at the surroundings and shouted at the void, “Old fellow, I know you are here. These mountains of law are all under your control. I have a matter I want to ask you.”
“Speak.” An ethereal voice drifted from the void, it was none other than the old freak Qin Wentian met before.
“I’ve met the person you once told me about. What did you mean by those words you told him before in that year?” Beiming Youhuang asked.
“Oh? You discovered it so fast?” That voice rang out once more lazily. “I don’t mean anything by it, I’ve already said what I need to say.”
“You…” Beiming Youhuang’s expression turned unsightly. She was thinking whether what Qin Wentian had said was nonsense or not.
However, back then when she encountered Qin Wentian, the words that fellow spoke did seem something like this crazy old man would say. Could it be that he and her were really fated by destiny?
But, that shameless guy…How can this be possible?
As she thought about this, Beiming Youhuang felt angry again. “Forget it if you won’t say. In any case, he will die soon. Right now, more than half of the major powers of the immortal realms have gathered in the eastern regions, wanting to take his life. It is almost impossible for him to escape this calamity.”
“Oh, let him die then. What has this got to do with me?” That old man replied, his words causing astonishment to appear on Beiming Youhuang’s face.
“You are the one who has a ‘connection’ with him. You came here because you want to beg me to save him, right?” This crazy old man replied, “I’m not so free though.”
“Come to beg you to save him?” Beiming Youhuang’s expression turned cold. “It’s for the best if he dies earlier. It’s just that he also received an inheritance from you so I thought I came here to inform you. If not, it wouldn’t be too good if your successor died out there abruptly, right?”
“I can search for a successor anytime I want. Just let him die, it’s okay with me.” That crazy old man didn’t seem to care about this at all. “Little girl, could it be that you came here to accompany me because you are afraid I might be lonely?”
“Stop dreaming.” Beiming Youhuang had the same feeling now as she did when she conversed with Qin Wentian, she was extremely unhappy about the old man’s decision. She instantly turned and left, “I’ve already said my piece. It doesn’t matter to me if he lives or dies. Do what you want to.”
After that, she departed the place.
“Two fellows with no conscience.” That old man appeared after Beiming Youhuang left. His long hair was still extremely messy, appearing like a mad old man. He mumbled to himself, “Death? I can’t even die if I want to.”
…
The eastern regions, in the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
Right now, the majority of those who stayed in the royal capital have already moved out. They didn’t dare to remain behind. The Evergreen Immortal Empire might topple anytime and once a war starts, the aftershocks would wreck the entire capital and countless people would definitely die. Hence, those with lower cultivations have long fled here. They planned to return only after the war was over.
However, despite countless people evacuating, there were still people in the capital. Also, all of them had a high cultivation base, at the immortal king realm at least.
Right now, immortal kings filled the streets of the royal capital.
After the news circulated out, many immortal kings exited the City of Ancient Emperors and rushed to gather here. Experts from the other major powers used the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire as their base.
Today, was the end of the three months Qin Wentian had said.
The blazing sun hung high up in the sky, its light illuminating the imperial palace. However, the people inside couldn’t feel any warmth at all. They could only feel coldness in their hearts.
Today, the fate of the Evergreen Immortal Empire would be decided.
All the major powers long sent out the news that if Qin Wentian failed to uphold his agreement and didn’t appear today, they would instantly sweep through the Evergreen Immortal Empire, razing this place to level ground.
Everything, would depend on Qin Wentian.
In the princess residence inside the imperial palace, two beautiful women could be seen together. These two, were none other than Qing`er and Qingcheng.
“Qingcheng, you really should leave now. I will send you away.” Qing`er spoke to Qingcheng.
“Sister Qing`er, do you think he will really come today?” Mo Qingcheng asked in a light voice.
Qing`er’s beautiful eyes flickered with sorrow, “It’s all my fault.”
“Sister Qing`er, I never blamed you. This is what he would do in any case. But no matter what he has to face today, as his wife, I will accompany him to the end if need be. We shall stay together forever no matter what happens. If he is alive, I will be alive. I won’t leave this place.” Mo Qingcheng gently smiled, filled with an air of poignant-ness. She knew how difficult it was for Qin Wentian to come all this way from a particle world. Who would have thought that there are so many people in the immortal realms who wanted to kill him now?
“Qingcheng…” Qing`er looked at the smile in Mo Qingcheng’s eyes as she sighed. She held Mo Qingcheng’s hand and smiled, “Alright, let us wait for him together.”
“Mhm, let’s wait for that dumbo together.” Mo Qingcheng smiled and nodded. It didn’t seem as though she was waiting for death.
Rumbling sounds rang out, causing the entire space to tremble with a terrifying thunderous noise. In the air, a group of experts on a war chariot sped over. The man in the lead was middle-aged, exuding an air of kings and emperors. Boundless might gushed from him, his eyes seemingly could pierce through everything as he stared at the direction of the Evergreen Immortal Empire’s imperial palace. In an instant, a stifling pressure bore down on everyone within there.
“If Qin Wentian doesn’t come to die today, we will destroy everything in the Evergreen Immortal Empire.” His voice was fearsome to the extreme, causing the hearts of countless people to tremble.
This person, was none other than the Senluo Immortal Emperor from the Senluo Immortal Empire. The son he doted on the most, the Yama King, died in Qin Wentian’s hands. Now, he personally led immortal emperors under him to come here to kill Qin Wentian.
In another direction, demonic qi towered up into the sky. Golden flames burned in the air as the experts from the Phoeroc Race arrived. Numerous fearsome phoerocs floated in the air, blotting out the skies, terrifying to the extreme.
Beside them, the ugly demons from the Heavenhold Race, the void beasts and the brutal white tigers could be seen.
The white tigers naturally still remembered how Qin Wentian feasted on white tiger flesh back then in the sacred academy. They also wanted to use this chance to kill that fellow. Although he was still a peak-stage immortal king, he had already matured enough to be a threat.
The experts from the eastern regions also arrived. The Violet Emperor, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, experts from the Paragon Sword Sect, the Taihua Immortal Dynasty and the Skymist Immortal Empire all came. The Skymist Immortal Emperor rode on a war elephant and there was an expression of ice on his face. His killing intent was the most intense out of the experts here. The entire Skymist Immortal Empire was destroyed by the White Emperor. He didn’t come here just to kill Qin Wentian.
The Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, the Sacred Sun Sect and the others, all arrived respectively. Qin Wentian had killed their experts before. All of them wanted to come here and see how he would die today.
Inside the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, a group of experts soared up into the air. Among them, there actually was the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and Matriarch Ji. Matriach Ji glanced at the enemy experts gathered around them and coldly spoke, “All the most powerful experts in the immortal realms, including immortal and demon emperors from many of the peak powers gather here today just to kill a junior immortal king? This throne has been alive for many years, this can be considered as having my horizons broadened. I’m impressed, really impressed.”
“Matriarch Ji, you best not step in this pool of troubled water.” The Senluo Immortal Emperor coldly spoke as he stared at her. Such words were truly unpleasant to hear – so many powerful emperors gathered here just to kill a junior at the immortal king realm. But no matter what, Qin Wentian must die today.
“Matriarch Ji, could it be that you wish to protect Qin Wentian even now?” The Violet Emperor icily spoke. There were simply too many here who wished to kill Qin Wentian. As long as anyone dares to say that they wanted to protect Qin Wentian, they best consider the consequences. He actually wanted nothing more than to hear Matriarch Ji say that she would protect Qin Wentian. If that was the case, he would naturally rally everyone here to destroy her as well!
