Him being the sect leader of the Qin Sect was impossible?
At that moment, Que Tianyi could clearly sense Qin Wentian’s strength. That figure in the air exuding a sense of unmatched loftiness was once the young man he despised for being a fool. Right now, this man was staring down at him in a domineering fas.h.i.+on. During that year, he was someone who’d been accepted by the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor as a personal disciple, and Qin Wentian was the one who’d been forsaken. By right, the distance between the two of them should have lengthened as the years went by. Qin Wentian should have been destined to never be able to catch up to him.
However, everything collapsed in this single strike. Although he was a personal disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, he was easily captured by Qin Wentian in just a single blow. Also, his cultivation base was higher compared to Qin Wentian’s. What intense humiliation was this? In fact, Qin Wentian hadn’t even bothered to glance his way, as though filled with disdain towards him. From Qin Wentian’s eyes, it was clear that right from the beginning, a character like Que Tianyi was never in his heart.
Everything, everything he’d taken as proof of pride wasn’t worth mentioning in front of Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian was the sect leader of the Qin Sect, and those a.s.sociated with his sect were enough to completely annihilate those of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. The two groups were simply powers of different levels.
In addition, this wasn’t just a humiliation for Que Tianyi. It was similarly a humiliation for the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
In fact from a certain perspective, the humiliation for the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was even more intense.
In the past, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had rejected to take on Qin Wentian as his disciple and had chosen Que Tianyi instead. And now, the results of today’s battle would be a joke in the immortal realms.
"You are too arrogant," the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor told Qin Wentian. "The you now is still too weak. You should understand this simple logic—if you s.h.i.+ne too brightly, you won’t have a good ending."
A mocking smile appeared on Qin Wentian’s face. "Old dog Eastern Sage, are you threatening me? Since I’ve dared to do this, it’s clear that I can’t be bothered anymore. Even if I don’t do anything today, with just the fact that I smacked your face in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, I’m sure those lackeys in your sect won’t spare me. Didn’t your son, Dongsheng Ting, try to kill me in a mult.i.tude of ways? Do you think I’d still care about your impression of me?"
No matter how good of a temper the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had, he couldn’t help but flare up at that moment. It felt like his anger could erupt forth at any moment, and he’d personally kill Qin Wentian.
—BOOM!— A destructive calamitous might descended from the sky, directly boring down on the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, enveloping him within.
The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor lifted his head and stared at the air, unhappiness flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes. He coldly spoke, "I will leave myself."
"No need for that, you waited too long. Since you refused to leave, I can only ‘invite’ you out." The voice thundered throughout the air, and immediately after, the calamitous might blasted into the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s body, containing a surge of law energy. It prevented the immortal sense of immortal emperors from lingering for too long within the City of Ancient Emperors.
The eyes of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor burned with the embers of his anger. His image gradually turned illusory and he stared at Qin Wentian. However, he discovered Qin Wentian was also looking right at him as he coldly said, "Que Tianyi humiliated the Qin Sect. Let his death send you off then."
"You dare?!" The silhouette of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor grew more and more blurry, yet his tone was incomparably terrifying. The fingers of Qin Wentian’s gigantic palm instantly crushed down. A surge of annihilative suppressive might directly wrapped around Que Tianyi as he struggled futilely and roared, "NOOOOO!"
In that instant, Que Tianyi’s eyes were completely filled with unrestrained terror. That crus.h.i.+ng force immediately squashed him into dust, crumbling him altogether.
The dissipating immortal sense of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor watched the entire scene happen. He remained silent, and didn’t let his rage erupt out. He merely cast one last glance at Qin Wentian, before completely vanis.h.i.+ng from the area. In that glance, the killing intent within was extremely intense. Although he was disappointed with Que Tianyi’s performance, Qin Wentian had actually dared to kill a personal disciple of his in front of his face. Such behaviour was sufficient to condemn Qin Wentian to die ten thousand times.
"He just killed him… Qin Wentian really killed the personal disciple of an immortal emperor." Earlier, the geniuses of the City of Ancient Emperors had imagined countless scenarios, yet they never once thought that Que Tianyi would really die by Qin Wentian’s hands. He was arrogant, but because he was a powerful character in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, the geniuses believed that even if he was defeated in battle, his opponent wouldn’t actually go all out and kill him— they would wisely choose to hold back instead.
However, this time was different. Even though the immortal sense of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was activated, it hadn’t been able to prevent Que Tianyi’s death. Right in front of an immortal emperor’s eyes, Qin Wentian had truly dared to kill his personal disciple.
"This madman..." The impression of Qin Wentian that these geniuses in the surroundings had, was just deepened again. No wonder he’d become an existence at the same level as Zi Daoyang and Mo Xie; one of the three chosen of the City of Ancient Emperors. This young man couldn’t be judged with common logic.
After the immortal sense of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor faded away, its lingering might gradually dissipated from the air. The disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect watched personally as Qin Wentian slayed Que Tianyi. Their hearts pounded violently, and when Qin Wentian turned his gaze over to them, they only felt fear wrenching at their hearts.
"The disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect were all so brazen earlier?" Qin Wentian swept his gaze over to them. Maybe they had grown used to their lofty statuses back in the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, and because they were newbies here, they hadn’t had time to adjust their att.i.tudes, and so they brought their arrogance with them here. Sadly, they had no idea that there were too many existences here who could easily trample over them.
Many disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had seen Qin Wentian before. During the once-per-hundred year banquet, Qin Wentian dominated the battle platform, seizing the position of top ranker in an unexcelled, overwhelming manner. By right, it should have been impossible, especially after being targeted deliberately by Dongsheng Ting, but in the end he’d actually achieved this by making everyone else shut up. But with just a few short years, he was already radiating his own light here in the City of Ancient Emperors.
Staring at that arrogant figure in the air, the geniuses of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect all felt a sense of defeat in their hearts. In front of this young man, did they even have the qualifications to term themselves as geniuses?
Gusu Tianqi’s state of mind fluctuated the most. He’d never imagined that Qin Wentian could already be this powerful. Que Tianyi couldn’t even withstand a single strike. If he was the one fighting against Qin Wentian, it was highly likely that he wouldn’t have performed any better than Que Tianyi did. But after all these years of tempering and training himself, was being insta-killed by Qin Wentian all that he had amounted to?
"What do you plan on doing?" One of them stared at Qin Wentian and asked in a cold voice.
"Other than Que Tianyi and that blinded man, was there anyone else who humiliated or insulted my Qin Sect?" Qin Wentian glanced at Leng Pingchao as he asked.
"No, but they were all smirking in self-satisfaction, as though immensely pleased with their companion’s ‘jokes’," Leng Pingchao glacially replied.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded his head. He then said, "Since these people are so intensely proud of themselves, brothers and sisters of the Qin Sect, teach them a good lesson on my behalf. Although you guys are members of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, I don’t really have any death grudges with any of you. And in consideration of the fact that it isn’t easy to cultivate to your current level, I won’t kill you this time. However, in the future if you guys represent the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and make me your enemy, or try to take my life—at that time I will show no mercy."
Qin Wentian wasn’t a bloodthirsty person. Although the people before him were members of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, he wouldn’t start a mindless slaughter. This was his principle when Qin Wentian handled things.
The people from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect let out a breath filled with tension as they gave up all notions of risking their lives. After which, the members of the Qin Sect stepped out and a battle erupted between them. The people from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had already lost their morale and basically didn’t even have the heart to do battle. In addition, they were originally weaker, so how could they even resist the Qin Sect? Very swiftly, they were all injured and their treasures were seized away. The surrounding people spectating silently sucked in a breath of cold air. These people of the Qin Sect were truly like bandits.
Not too long after, Qin Wentian and his companions left, leaving behind the dejected members of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. Their bodies were riddled with injuries as rage and reluctance flickered in their eyes. However, they were all completely helpless. Back in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, they were supreme and lofty characters, but in the City of Ancient Emperors, it was basically impossible for them to defend against the Qin Sect that Qin Wentian had established.
In the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, within a misty immortal mountain…there was an incomparably vast and radiant emperor palace with numerous pavilions situated inside. All the people in there, even the ordinary guards, were all characters at the immortal-foundation realm at the very least.
Many figures had gathered in front of the most majestic ancient pavilion, sitting down cross-legged in absolute silence. Those sitting there were all at the immortal-king realm. Right now, they were all being extremely respectful, listening to the words and teachings of a supreme figure right at the very front.
That supreme figure, was none other than the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
And at this very instant, the voice of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor abruptly stopped. The voice of the Great Dao was interrupted. An incomparably powerful wave of might gushed forth from the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and a stifling pressure suddenly descended on everyone there. The countenances of those immortal kings drastically changed, and an apprehensive look appeared in their eyes as they stared at the supreme figure ahead.
What just happened?
"Your Majesty!" someone respectfully called out. The eyes of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor flared open. The dazzling coldness within was seemingly able to penetrate through the heavens and earth, causing the immortal kings to feel traces of fear as they bowed. "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"
The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s fury finally subsided. He drew in a deep breath and calmly stated, "Que Tianyi has been killed."
As the sound of his voice faded, shock and surprise flitted through the faces of the immortal kings. Among them, the Scarce Moon Immortal King was present as well. After he heard these words, his aura fluctuated wildly as his countenance changed.
Ever since Que Tianyi became a personal disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, his relations.h.i.+p with the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had grown extremely close. And even he himself would often come to the emperor palace to listen to the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor talking about the Dao. The Scarce Moon Immortal Manor was deeply allied with the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. They viewed Que Tianyi as their greatest ray of hope but now… Que Tianyi had actually been killed by someone?
"In the City of Ancient Emperors, that sc.u.m Qin Wentian has actually dared to kill Que Tianyi in the face of this seat’s immortal sense," the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor said slowly. His voice was calm, causing the immortal kings to marvel at how swiftly he’d controlled his emotions. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s state of heart was truly profound.
"Relay my order. Summon the most outstanding elites at the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon from our Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, and send them to the City of Ancient Emperors," the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor emotionlessly intoned, his words causing everyone’s hearts to tremble.
This time around, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was truly enraged!
