Chapter 1724: Bloody scar
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The Skyair Palace Lord didn’t expect Qin Wentian would dare to act so domineering before him. A newly appointed palace lord actually ignored his status as the Skyair Palace Lord? Don’t forget that he is the personal disciple of Lifelong Realmlord, the Realmlord’s trust in him far exceeded the other world palace lords.
“If you want to consult my master, I will naturally personally make the report. Who are you to consult him? Why do you want to cause a disturbance? There is no room for negotiation for this matter. My attitude is my master’s will, you have to follow my orders.” The Skyair Palace Lord’s tone became tyrannical when he saw Qin Wentian’s insolent attitude. He didn’t care if Qin Wentian wanted to explore this place alone. However, how dare he act so brazen before this. Since that was the case, he could only ensure that his response was even more tyrannical.
“Both of you are the subordinates of Realmlord, why must things come to this? Why don’t we just travel together and consider this matter resolved?” The Xuanyuan Palace Lord smiled. He was also an imposing character and he laughed trying to break the tensed atmosphere. He glanced at Qin Wentian. As long as Qin Wentian nod his head, this conflict would be able to be resolved temporarily. There was no need for this state of mutual hostility.
However, the Xuanyuan Palace Lord had judged Qin Wentian wrongly. Even ignoring the fact that he had something he needed to do, even if it was in usual times, he would not have compromised either.
“I don’t have the mood to travel together with him.” Qin Wentian decisively rejected. A tone was a tone, since the Skyair Palace Lord already spoke to him in this way, there was no longer a need for Qin Wentian to feign civility with him. He bluntly rejected, causing the Xuanyuan Palace Lord to start as he stared at Qin Wentian with astonishment.
This Qin Wentian simply didn’t give him any face. He had personally stepped out to be a mediator to ease the tensed atmosphere, yet Qin Wentian still bluntly rejected.
Although all the world palace lords are of the same rank, there were still differences in reality. Qin Wentian, who was the Lifire Palace Lord, belonged to the last tier together with Gengmetal and Kanwater. The Desolate Heaven Palace, Skyair Palace and Xuanyuan Palace were the three world palaces at the top tier. He, the Xuanyuan Palace Lord already took the initiative to be the peacekeeper, this meant that there are two top-tier world palace lords expressing their attitudes but Qin Wentian actually didn’t care for it at all and continued to make trouble.
“How arrogant.” The Kanwater Palace Lord interjected, wanting to see the world in chaos. His tone was extremely cold.
“Everyone, you guys have heard it. It isn’t that I don’t want to give him face but he is publicly defying the Realmlord’s order. What do you all feel about it?” The Skyair Palace Lord’s voice was glacial. The immortal emperors behind him all had sharp expressions on their faces. Was their palace lord planning to act against Qin Wentian?
“Palace Lord Qin, don’t make things difficult for everyone.” The Dragonsaddle Palace Lord also spoke out at this moment, he naturally stood on the side of the Skyair Palace Lord. Regardless of identity or status, this newly appointed Lifire Palace Lord clearly couldn’t compare to the Skyair Palace Lord. He naturally understood which side he should stand on at this moment. In addition, the Skyair Palace Lord was here representing the will of the Lifelong Realmlord. Even if he wasn’t, the Lifelong Realmlord most probably would also be on his personal disciple’s side.
Hence, no matter who was right or wrong, there was no need to consider at all. Qin Wentian was definitely in the wrong, because the person he was opposing was the personal disciple of the Lifelong Realmlord.
“Let us go.” Qin Wentian spoke to Beiming Youhuang who was behind him. There was no room for any negotiation for this matter. Even if the four empyreans pressured him, it was impossible for him to give way. Also, it was clear that the Skyair Palace Lord would never agree no matter what. In that case, there was no need to waste time bickering here, he directly prepared to leave.
“I want to see how you can go.” The Skyair Palace Lord icily spoke. “Beiming Youhuang, you should know what to do.”
Beiming Youhuang felt a little conflicted now. Qin Wentian had no idea what she promised the Lifelong Realmlord. If because of this matter, the Lifelong Realmlord suddenly had malicious thoughts towards Qin Wentian, things would really be bad. That was a situation she didn’t want to see. However, Qin Wentian sent a message to her and told her to come back to the lower world, saying that there was an extremely important matter that has a connection to the both of them. Hence, she was hesitating now.
It can be considered that the people behind Qin Wentian finally understood. So, Qin Wentian and these four other world palace lords were subordinates of a world overlord but they didn’t really like him. This was especially so for the Skyair Palace Lord, his gaze when he looked at Qin Wentian was extremely cold, and filled with contempt.
However, as immortal emperors, they didn’t even have the qualifications to interfere in this even if they wanted to. They could only hand this matter to Qin Wentian for him to handle himself or things would be even more chaotic. They knew they couldn’t afford to offend any of the four empyreans before them.
“I really loathe your tone.” Qin Wentian turned and stared at the Skyair Palace Lord as his tone turned cold.
The sharpness in the Skyair Palace Lord’s eyes intensified. His stare was like a sharp sword piercing straight into Qin Wentian’s eyes. “What do you want to do then?”
“You guys, step back.” Qin Wentian spoke to the people behind him. A moment later, the crowd all retreated. Beiming Youhuang stared at Qin Wentian in worry but she also retreated faraway with the crowd.
When the Skyair Palace Lord saw that Qin Wentian actually wanted to act against him, his gaze was no longer filled with coldness, but with killing intent instead. He waved one of his hands as his subordinates behind him retreated. Only the five palace lords of the Lifelong Realm remained in this space.
“Youhuang is my senior apprentice sister. That, in addition to the fact that her father would follow me as well, us traveling together actually was obstructed.” Qin Wentian coldly laughed. “No matter what, I’ll be bringing her away. If you guys want to stop me, I can only seek your guidance.”
“Arrogant.” The Xuanyuan Palace Lord berated. “I initially thought that you would be an impressive character given your outstanding talent. I didn’t expect you to be so arrogant.” The Xuanyuan Palace Lord stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke. Qin Wentian wanted to seek their ‘guidance’?
The Kanwater Palace Lord was the weakest among them but since everyone was on the Skyair Palace Lord’s side, he felt no fear. Qin Wentian wanted to challenge all of them? Even if Qin Wentian fought the Dragonsaddle Palace Lord one on one, the Dragonsaddle Palace Lord wasn’t someone Qin Wentian would be able to defeat. Yet Qin Wentian actually wanted to fight them all? This was simply foolish arrogance.
“Everyone has seen this, right?” The Skyair Palace Lord glanced at his colleagues. “Since this is the case, I’ll accept the request for guidance from the Lifire Palace Lord.”
Qin Wentian directly soared into the air. The Skyair Palace Lord transformed into a beam of sword light and directly appeared before Qin Wentian. All around him, fearsome waves of sword might revolved. The sword light he radiated was actually akin to a supreme sword formation. The aura gushing forth from it was so terrifying that the spectators felt their hearts trembled.
“Have you finished your preparations?” The Skyair Palace Lord asked.
“Just make your move.” Qin Wentian’s white robes fluttered. At his current cultivation realm, a single thought of him would become a law. There was no need for any preparations.
As the sound of his voice faded, the body of the Skyair Palace Lord transformed into after-images. A resplendent ray of light shot out, the spectators below didn’t even see him move but discovered that he had already vanished. In the next instant, Qin Wentian’s surroundings suddenly manifested a supremely powerful sword domain. A supreme sword might from the void transformed into sword energy from the Great Dao and surrounded him. In an instant, sword scars covered the area around Qin Wentian, locking him within the small space. As long as he came into contact with any of the sword scars, he would definitely die.
In an instant, the hearts of everyone suddenly pounded rapidly as they watched the battle up in the air nervously. Some of them were so worried that they even stopped breathing. With just the slightest contact with any of the sword scars in the air, the power of the Great Dao would surge forth with unstoppable momentum, destroying everything. This was like an unblockable killing technique.
Manifesting laws with a single thought, if one wasn’t an empyrean, there was no way they could unleash this strike.
The three other palace lords stood at the side as they watched, coldly smiling in their hearts when they saw this scene. The Skyair Sword Arts of the Skyair Palace Lord had boundless power, any other world palace lords would find this extremely troublesome to deal with if they fought against the Skyair Palace Lord. Even for the Xuanyuan Palace Lord, he had to expend great efforts to defend against this sword art. Qin Wentian, this newly appointed Lifire Palace Lord, was truly too arrogant.
Qin Wentian calmly watched as he chanted a buddhic chant. Instantly, buddhic air illuminated the space around him as his void dharam body appeared. Millions of ancient words from buddhist scriptures manifested in the air, transformed into a buddic lightscreen that covered him. When the sword scars flew over, they did manage to tear apart the lightscreen but the remaining power in the sword scars were already insufficient to threaten Qin Wentian.
But at this moment, a sword scar directly shot forth with explosive speed, aiming for the center of his brows, wanting to destroy him.
“Puchi…” A beam of light directly stabbed into Qin Wentian as torrential amounts of sword might erupted forth, flooding the entire area, wanting to lacerate even the void. However, inside the void, there seemed to be a pair of extremely cold eyes.
“Illusion.” The Skyair Palace Lord instantly understood as he directly shook free of the illusion. The sword scar generated from the Great Dao appeared again, causing a tornado that had the power to rip apart everything. The sword scars criss-crossed in the air and blasted towards Qin Wentian once more.
However, the Skyair Palace Lord suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He only felt a towering sword intent brushing past his throat and in the next moment, he felt an intense chill in his bones. A bloody scar was left behind on his throat and the Skyair Palace Lord couldn’t even react.
Qin Wentian naturally didn’t die from the sword scars attack. He retreated after accomplishing his objective, the sword formed from sword intent in his hand which he used in his attack earlier had vanished. He coldly stared at the Skyair Palace Lord, he was the one who left behind the bloody scar. Earlier, if he so willed it, the Skyair Palace Lord would have already died with his head beheaded. Even now, the Skyair Palace Lord was trembling, feeling a chill in his heart.
However, how is this possible? How did Qin Wentian manage to do it?
He gingerly touched his throat, only to see his blood staining his fingers. His countenance instantly turned pale.
The other three palace lords were also stunned when they saw this, they simply had no way to believe what their eyes saw. How can this be? Clearly, they also didn’t wish to believe that Qin Wentian could be so powerful.
Given how strong the Skyair Palace Lord is, even if he was under an illusion, he wouldn’t be killed so easily.
“If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead.” Qin Wentian’s voice thundered out at this moment, filled with coldness. His voice was really cold, so cold that the Skyair Palace Lord shivered!
