This maiden, who was being addressed as little princess, was named Donghuang Ying. Upon seeing several world overlords paying their respects, she smiled and nodded slightly but she didn’t say anything. Given her status, she truly didn’t need to say anything even when facing world overlord existences.
Her beautiful gaze turned to Qin Wentian again, waiting for his reply.
Qin Wentian was also very astonished when he learned of her identity. He smiled and nodded at her, “Thank you for the grace little princess has shown me. It’s just that I’m long used to being unaffiliated and prefer to be the overlord of my realm. Although my realm is located in quite a remote location, I feel at ease and carefree.”
This was a clear rejection. Everyone stared at Qin Wentian. This Qingcheng Realmlord actually rejected the little princess’s invitation.
Given Donghuang Ying’s identity, by personally inviting him to join her was already considered giving him a lot of face. Also, she brought news that was extremely disadvantageous to him. But even in such circumstances, he still chose to reject, causing everyone else to be very curious. What sort of character was this Qingcheng Realmlord exactly. Was he really so mesmerized with the authority of the realm he controlled? But even so, it wouldn’t be so easy for him to pass this ‘trial’ before his eyes, right?
Jin Zhi, who was at the side, felt extremely shocked in her heart. Earlier, as long as Qin Wentian agreed to it, he would a subordinate of the Donghuang Clan. The Dragon Pool Manor wouldn’t dare to touch him then. With the status he would gain before him, he actually rejected it with no hesitation. From this, one could see how proud Qin Wentian was. No wonder he would be so angered with regards to her insulting his woman. Jin Zhi started to regret her actions, why did she have to insult Mo Qingcheng then? Could it be that she was jealous of her and Qing`er’s beauty?
Donghuang Ying had a look of surprise on her face. The young man beside her also stared at Qin Wentian with interest. Donghuang Ying smiled, “Since this is the case, I won’t force you then. It’s just that I feel it’s a pity.”
Nobody knew whether the pity she spoke of was referring to her failure to recruit Qin Wentian or the fact that Qin Wentian wouldn’t be able to pass this ‘trial’ of the Heaven Immortal Tower.
Qin Wentian nodded to her. After that, Donghuang Ying sat down in one of the nearby pavilions and decided to remain here. She wanted to see what would happen later.
The Heaven Immortal Tower made a promise that if someone brought Qin Wentian and his group to the Heaven Immortal Tower, they would be able to select almost any treasure from the Heaven Immortal Tower. Such a tempting condition would definitely cause many to feel greed. Naturally, those who had investigated the commotion in the Heaven Immortal Tower also knew that it was most probably impossible for ordinary world overlords to succeed. Earlier, Old Huo and two other world overlords failed to stop Qin Wentian. From this, one could tell that the person the Heaven Immortal Tower wants to capture wasn’t somebody easy to handle.
But even so, greed was the best source of motivation. There would surely be people brave enough to try for the sake of the heavy reward. Also, since the Convention of the Myriad Realms was about to start, Time City naturally has no lack of experts, even for experts that are at the world overlord realm.
Hence, some of these bounty hunters soon arrived at the inn. The first to come was a man and a woman. The man exuded an evil aura and was a world overlord. As for the woman, she had charming features and dressed provocatively, revealing her long fair legs and deep cleavage, exuding a seductive aura. Her smile contained the power to mesmerize the hearts of men. Similarly, she was also at the world overlord realm.
The two of them seemed very close to each other. The woman leaned on the man and the man would openly stroke her soft and supple skin, not fearing outsiders were looking at all.
“It’s them.” Someone spoke in a low voice, most people instantly recognized this couple when they saw them. Even for those who had never seen them before, world overlords with such personalities were extremely rare. They were two terrifying overlords from Time City and were rumored to be husband and wife. Both of them had an evil aura and their cultivation method was very unique and powerful. This was especially so when the two of them joined forces, they would surely be even more terrifying.
They giggled and their gazes roamed around the crowd. When they noticed Donghuang Ying, they had a strange expression on their face. They could tell that this beautiful woman, who was only at the empyrean realm, was definitely someone not good to antagonize. From the number of world overlord followers behind her, they could already tell that she was someone extraordinary. Also, in an area near this inn, there was also a number of world overlords gathered, they should all be very powerful characters too.
But they didn’t feel too much worry as they knew who their target was. Their gazes continued to roam about, and very swiftly, their eyes locked on to Qin Wentian. An evil glint of light could then be seen gleaming in their eyes.
“It’s agreed that the treasure this time around, will be given to me as a present.” The woman charmingly smiled at the man with an evil aura beside her.
“Sure.” That man laughed. The two of them pressed their faces closer and kissed wildly in the public’s eyes, not reserved at all.
“Haha, you two freaks of nature can go back now. This time around, the treasure from the Heaven Immortal Tower shall be mine. I’m going to get it.” A carefree voice thundered out. A bright beam of light flashed in the air and after that, the crowd saw an imposing figure descending through the air like a heavenly god descending to the mortal world.
This was a middle-aged man with a startling aura. He stood there and resembled a towering ancient mountain that was immovable, brimming with strength. It felt like the moment he raised his hand, he could even make heaven and earth tremble.
Yet another powerful world overlord has appeared. All of them came here for the Heaven Immortal Tower’s promise of treasure. So many overlords had already come here to hunt for the bounty when this news was just released. Later on, there would definitely be even more experts.
“Guhua, do you want a fight with us first?” That evil-looking man sinisterly spoke.
“Would I be afraid of you two?” The middle-aged man tyrannically replied.
“Don’t waste time, there should be more bounty hunters coming later. Since you’ve already arrived, let’s see which of us can capture him. This man shall belong to whoever succeeds first. How about it?” The charming woman laughed.
“This idea is not bad.” The Guhua Realmlord nodded. He glanced at Qin Wentian, “In any case, you won’t be able to escape. Why don’t you leave with me obediently? If you fall into the hands of these two freaks whose names are Xie Sha and Yin Sha, your ending would surely be extremely dire.”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense. If you fall into my hands, I will definitely let you have a taste of paradise on earth.” Yin Sha charmingly winked. Her gaze sent out a formless energy that entered Qin Wentian’s mind, wanting him to be mesmerized.
“Scram.”
Qin Wentian continued sitting there. Even now, he still didn’t stand up and simply coldly replied.
“What a temper. I like him. How about handing him to me after we succeed in capturing him?” Yin Sha stared at Xie Sha.
“Sure, but I want all his women.” Xie Sha spoke.
“Did you hear that? If you follow me, I can at least protect all of you until we reach the Heaven Immortal Tower. At that time, the situation might change. But if you land in their hands, your fate would truly be extremely miserable.” The Guhua Realmlord spoke.
Qin Wentian inclined his head. His eyes were icy to the extreme, peering through the distance as they stared at Xie Sha.
“Since this is the case, none of you needs to leave.” Qin Wentian stood up. He didn’t make any actions and only flew up in the air. Wanting to use him to exchange for treasures? The Heaven Immortal Tower gave out such a promise because they wanted him to have endless trouble. Since this is the case, let’s get this done once and for all.
“What arrogance.” Yin Sha laughed. “Let’s fight higher up in the air then.”
There were many people with extraordinary statuses in the inn and the owner of the inn itself was also an extraordinary character. Given how large the aftershocks of an overlord-ranked battle would be, it was very easy to damage the inn or disturb others. Yin Sha was also somewhat worried about offending these people.
“No need for so much trouble.” Qin Wentian coldly spoke.
“How arrogant, no wonder you dared to abduct a serving girl from the Heaven Immortal Tower. Since this is the case, I can only ask you for guidance.” As the Guhua Realmlord spoke, he released his world heart. In an instant, everything around him slowed down. The people in the inn could feel their movements slowing as well. They wanted to lift their hands but they felt that it was extremely difficult to do so. They needed to struggle just to make any motion at all.
“What world heart energy is this?” Everyone felt their hearts trembling. Under the power of this world heart, how can his opponent fight? This Guhua Realmlord was truly powerful, no wonder he was so arrogant.
“Since you three have came, I assume that you all should also know the price of failure, right?” Qin Wentian was as though he didn’t sense the power of his opponents. As the sound of his voice faded, his own world heart was released. When his heart domain enveloped the Guhua Realmlord and Yin Sha and Xie Sha, the three world overlords suddenly trembled as their countenances paled.
At the moment the power of this world heart enveloped the three of them, they could feel the flow of space around them slowing down as a supremely terrifying energy suppressed everything. Shock could be seen in the Guhua Realmlord’s eyes. Under the power of his world heart, Qin Wentian could actually retaliate and used a similar method to suppress him. Right now, he felt as though his body didn’t belong to him. His reactions had slowed down extremely, and the power of his heavenheart mandate was under absolute suppression.
“Just with your puny abilities, you guys dared to be bounty hunters?” Qin Wentian coldly spoke. Although they were a little stronger than Old Huo, there was no difference to him.
Qin Wentian slowly stepped through the air. The three world overlords actually didn’t dare to move at all. They could only stare at Qin Wentian as their expressions changed. Where did all their earlier arrogance go to?
Sometimes, when a world heart was released, those at the same level could instantly know who was stronger and who was weaker. If the disparity in strength wasn’t that great, the two combatants naturally could still fight. But if the disparity was extremely large, there would be a feeling of absolute suppression. How would the weaker ones have any courage to fight?
“We were only joking with you earlier. Please pardon us.” Xie Sha stared at Qin Wentian and bowed.
Qin Wentian cast a glacial glance at him, like how he was looking at a dead man.
“Today, there’s actually someone who still dares to show disrespect to my wives.” Qin Wentian was truly angered. He stared at the three world overlords in the air as he icily continued, “Those who come and make trouble for me, shall all be killed without mercy. Die!”
As the sound of the word ‘die’ rang out, a supreme might manifested from the void. The expressions of the three world overlords turned ashen when they felt the heavenly might boring down on them. Other than terror and panic, despair could also be seen in their eyes.
A formless killing light appeared in the air. Everywhere it passed by, only destruction existed. The three world overlords struggled with agony but their bodies were disintegrating rapidly. Soon after, Yin Sha transformed into nothingness and vanished from this world. Her partner Xie Sha followed behind her.
“No…” At the end, Guhua Realmlord was the last one. He roared loudly but he had no way to obstruct death from approaching.
In just an instant, silence filled the atmosphere. The gazes of everyone were all focused on the floating figure in the air as their hearts pounded violently!
