Chapter 1261: What an Irony
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Ye Zimo’s words caused Yan Yuxin’s expression to turn exceptionally ugly to behold, it was like she just got slapped hard.
This genius of the Ye Clan was an expert on the Devil Rankings. His words naturally had weight to them. As a descendant of an aristocrat clan, he must have met many like her before. Most probably in his Ye Clan, there were many women who married in, acting like her.
Despicable and lowly, yet acting lofty and arrogant.
This was like mocking her in the place where it hurts the most.
Her beautiful face contorted. After Ye Zimo spoke, he no longer bothered about her and followed after Qin Wentian, walking past her. Her husband Azureflame Tuo obediently stood to the side, where was the arrogance he showed earlier? Right now when he looked back, everything was just ironic.
“So, this is the pride of you and brother-in-law. How truly ridiculous indeed.” Yan Yuruo stood by the side as she mocked. Before this, their group has been layering insults upon insults on Qin Wentian, wanting to show her how unworthy he was. However, what she saw was only a bunch of ignorant fellows mutually boasting to each other. Now, when they stood before Ye Zimo, they didn’t even have the courage to speak.
“He’s merely lucky and got acquainted with a descendant of the Ye Clan. After all, he is only a general under father, so you should stop overthinking things. I really want to see how high can he climb.” Yan Yuxin’s face was still contorted as she replied in an ice-like tone.
“Courting own humiliation.” Ye Zimo didn’t turn back, he just sarcastically commented a sentence. As for Qin Wentian, he couldn’t be bothered with Ye Yuxin from the start until now.
Just like what Ye Zimo has said, the dragon of darkness soaring through the skies couldn’t be bothered to lower itself to the same level as the ants crawling on the ground. So what if Qin Wentian really was a general under her father? She will soon understand how great the disparity between her and Qin Wentian was.
“I will watch him together with you.” Yan Yuruo, the third princess, watched Qin Wentian’s back with a smile. She believed that Qin Wentian would definitely be able to climb higher than Azureflame Tuo.
“I will go over first.” Azureflame Tuo had an ashen expression as he proceeded on. He obtained a golden token and his seating arrangement wasn’t too bad.
Yan Yuxin and Yan Yuruo quietly stood there, watching the geniuses proceeding forward. Qin Wentian, Qi Da, Ye Zimo and Azureflame Tuo were all walking forth.
Finally, Azureflame Tuo halted, he was blocked by the guards and could only stay where he was. He glanced at those figure who were still heading forward as his countenance changed, alternating between shades of green and white.
Clearly, regardless of Ye Zimo or Qin Wentian, both of them were stronger than him. When he thought of his earlier words which insulted Qin Wentian, what would his wife and his sister-in-law watching from behind him think? He only felt burning shame on his face, as though someone just slapped him.
Azureflame Tuo had a heavy expression on his face. He wanted to see which sector Qin Wentian would arrive at exactly.
Qin Wentian naturally wouldn’t care about what those people behind him thought. He continued walking on, the flash of light from the center of his brows made it so that no guards obstructed him. He could now already see the sector where the Blackstone Devil King was seated at.
“He crossed another sector. Sister, didn’t you once say that as long as someone could exceed Azureflame Tuo, that person would be an unrivalled genius? Right now, Qin Wentian not only did so, he is still showing no signs of stopping, he is now even at the sector our father is in. What else do you have to say now?” The devilish third princess remarked.
Yan Yuxin was speechless. Even Ye Zimo and Qi Da found their seats and sat down. The two of them were in the same sector as the devil kings. These devil kings were all lords of their own devil island and the elders of the Azureflame Clan were seated there as well.
“So what even if it’s true?” Yan Yuxin still refused to admit that she was wrong.
“So what? Didn’t you see that even when Ye Zimo stopped, he is still advancing?” Yan Yuruo’s eyes gleamed with a brilliant light, staring at the man who came here with her. He was advancing step by step to a path of glory which belonged only to him.
“That time back then, didn’t you point at that location and tell me that for those who could walk until that sector, as long as that person are willing, they could join any of the supreme major powers on the Fallen Devil Island effortlessly and become the most important core disciple? You said that I would understand how outstanding those people were? But could it be that you are still blind now? Can’t you see that the man I fell in love with, is currently walking towards the legendary sector you spoke of?”
Yan Yuruo pointed to the legendary sector closest to the devil emperor, causing Yan Yuxin’s heart to shudder intensely. At this moment, she also realized that Ye Zimo, Qi Da and the others have halted. But Qin Wentian was still continuing on.
He was still advancing forward, walking to the seats in the sector that was closest to the devil emperor.
“Qin Wentian.” The Blackstone Devil King stood up, staring at Qin Wentian with shock.
“Devil king.” Qin Wentian nodded as he smiled at the Blackstone Devil King.
“Good, well done.” The Blackstone Devil King grinned, “As expected of the first-ranked devil general under my command.”
In the surroundings, many devil kings nodded to Qin Wentian, asking if he was keen to join them. The Blackstone Devil King naturally felt extremely proud when he heard that. After all, Qin Wentian was a devil general under him.
Not only the devil kings, countless gazes over here all stared in the direction of Qin Wentian, watching with shock as this young man proceeding towards the legendary sector. There was actually someone who was qualified to go there.
At this moment, the attention of the multitude of people here, were all focused on him.
Upon seeing this, Yan Yuruo had a radiant smile on her face. It was as though it was she herself who was enjoying the glory. This young man who always called her the third princess and who was always mercilessly teased by her, the halo of glory radiating from him now has even exceeded that of her father. His accomplishments would surpass her father’s sooner or later.
But at this moment although Yan Yuruo was happy, she actually also felt a trace of disappointment. She suddenly understood that how could the small devil island of her father, ever retain this dragon?
She, who was the third princess of the Blackstone Devil Island, Yan Yuruo, might be able to summon wind and rain on that island. But on this Fallen Devil Island, what could she do? Can she even bind him to her?
Maybe the man whom she fell in love with, was destined never to belong to her.
Qin Wentian finally sat down under the gazes of millions. Azureflame Tuo’s expression turned pale as he mocked himself silently.
On the other side, Yan Yuruo spoke again, “Elder sister, I can’t be bothered to rebut the words you said to me so many times earlier. However, I just want to know what you are feeling now when you thought back to those humiliating insults you threw at him back then.”
“Enough!” Yan Yuxin coldly snorted.
“Refusing to admit your own mistakes and turning shame into anger? When you humiliated him in front of me, how brazen were you then? But reality has proven that your husband Azureflame Tuo isn’t even worthy enough to hold his shoes for him. As for you, you are also not worthy enough to be my elder sister.” After speaking, Yan Yuruo turned and left, walking towards her own seat. She couldn’t be bothered to walk together with her sister Yan Yuxin.
Yan Yuxin stood there dumbly, staring at the silhouette of Qin Wentian who was seated before the devil kings. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Who was it exactly that was the frog in the well?
At the celebration, geniuses were amassing like clouds. Even Qin Wentian’s subordinate was more outstanding compared to her brother-in-law.
This devil emperor’s birthday celebration… Was it Yan Yuruo who needs to wake up her idea, or was it Yan Yuxin?
Qin Wentian didn’t care about this. He sat there and around him were all supreme experts at the devil-king realm. Some auras of these devil kings were extremely frightening and at the same time, a pair of cold eyes landed on him. The owner of these eyes was none other than the Black Jiao Devil King.
“Black Jiao, what’s wrong?” Not far away from the Black Jiao Devil King, a supremely strong devil king asked.
“He is the person I spoke of before.” The Black Jiao Devil King transmitted his voice, causing that supreme devil expert’s eyes to flash as he stared at Qin Wentian. So it was this man who narrowly killed his god-son?
“Black Jiao don’t mention this matter for now, we will see how the situation is at the end of the celebration. If he gains the attention of the devil emperor, you should just forget about this matter.” That person replied back. The Black Jiao Devil King reluctantly nodded. Right now, he could only wait and hope that this Qin Wentian wouldn’t be recruited by some supreme major powers.
——-
“Qin Wentian.” From afar, a silhouette walked over. Qin Wentian turned his head only to see a female staring at him. When he saw her, a smile appeared in his eyes, as he called out, “Lady Mo.”
So it turned out that this woman was none other than Qing`er’s senior apprentice sister, Mo Ziyan of Matriarch Ji’s sect. She walked to a seat not far away from Qin Wentian and sat down, in the same sector as Ye Zimo and his group.
“I long guessed that you would come to participate in the birthday celebration of the devil emperor. And as expected, here you are.” Mo Ziyan transmitted her voice over. When she saw Qin Wentian’s seat, she mused in her heart that as expected of the man Qing`er was in love with. He truly did get more outstanding than before.
“Most probably, many familiar faces will appear here today.” Qin Wentian spoke. And indeed, as more and more figures appeared, at the same sector as Mo Ziyan, Qin Wentian actually saw many people from the Skymist Alliance. Not only were there the participants, there were also several other peak immortal-foundation experts from their side here.
Back then the Skymist Immortal Emperor played a dirty trick. Their alliance didn’t just send a hundred participants into the Myriad Devil Islands.
“Ba Xiao and the others of the Royal Devil Sect have arrived.” At this moment, somebody laughed as he stared at the supreme geniuses of the Royal Devil Sect walking over. Ba Xiao who was not far away, began to walk over step by step. When he saw Qin Wentian sitting in the core seats, an extremely cold light flashed in his eyes. Even if it was him, he had no way to sit at that most elite sector.
“Seems like it isn’t easy to be able to sit in those seats. Ba Xiao is a peak character near the top of the Devil Rankings yet even he, isn’t able to seat there.” Someone commented in a low voice.
“Only those who gain four token of darkness from the four devil nests would be able to. Such supreme characters, there would only be a few every hundred years.”
“Mhm, I wonder which power nurtured this seedling.”
“There’s someone like him in my sect as well.” At this moment, one of them spoke. Everyone turned over and all of them bowed when they saw the one who spoke. When he walked over, the nearby crowd actually opened up a path for him, it was evident that this man had an extremely high status.
This man was a fearsome devil king on the Fallen Devil Island, his cultivation was at the peak of the devil-king realm and he had immense authority. What was more fearful is that he can gain access into the emperor palace at anytime to meet with the devil emperor. It was rumored that when this man was young, he used to roam the Myriad Devil Islands with the Fallen Devil Emperor.
“Senior Xia, are you referring to Xia Yuan of the Devil Rankings?” This Xia Yuan was a supremely terrifying ranker on the Devil Rankings.
“Not him.” That devil king walked to the side of the devil emperor’s seat and sat down. “Xia Yuan is inferior to him. You all will know who I’m talking about soon!”
