Chu Qingyi glanced at the Wu Clan’s father and son. She then coldly spoke, “What does this have to do with either of you?”
“I, Wu, have always admired the fairies from the Snowdrift Sage Hall. Today, being able to see how beautiful Fairy Chu is, I’m truly moved. I’m not willing to see you taking a wrong step and destroying your future.” Wu Tianjiao spoke in a dignified and pompous manner. He spoke with the status of a genius immortal king, exuding his elegance as well as praising the Snowdrift Sage Hall, while also admiring his admiration of Chu Qingyi.
This made Lu Yanxue glance at him, she instantly understood Wu Tianjiao’s intentions. Seems like the Wu Clan coming here was really to express goodwill and they also wanted a marriage alliance with the Snowdrift Sage Hall.
However, if Chu Qingyi was married into the Wu Clan, things wouldn’t be too bad.
Chu Qingyi’s talent was really outstanding. After exiting the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, her cultivation speed was god-like and is on the verge of breaking through to the immortal king realm, presenting Lu Yanxue’s faction with a heavy threat. If it wasn’t for Lu Yanxue, who entered the immortal-king level sacred academy and broke through to the mid-stage there, Chu Qingyi’s radiance would definitely be even greater.
This time, Mo Xiaoxiao wanted to borrow this opportunity to suppress Chu Qingyi. This idea wasn’t bad, it would be best if they could damage Chu Qingyi’s dao heart.
“Qingyi, Wu Tianjiao is a personal disciple of an immortal emperor. His talent is outstanding and has already broken through to the immortal king realm.” Lu Yanxue calmly spoke. She then turned to Wu Tianjiao, “Since noble nephew Tianjiao admires Qingyi, I can be the link and introduce her to you.”
“Since this is the case, I will have to thanks senior.” Wu Tianjiao smiled, causing the eyes of everyone to flash. Seems like the Wu Clan truly had another motive, wanting a marriage alliance with the Snowdrift Sage Hall. As for Wu Tianjiao, he had his sights on Chu Qingyi. Chu Qingyi was really not bad, among these females, she was the most beautiful. There was also no need to say anything about her talent.
“Qingyi, you have also heard it. I will give you a chance. Zhanfei and Wu Tianjiao both are interested in you. As long as you are willing to, I will speak to your master about this. To prove your determination, I want you to kill this lecher to cleanse your reputation. As for the matter with the grand recovery pill, we will forget about it.” Lu Yanxue continued.
“Stop dreaming.” Chu Qingyi coldly replied. “You might be my senior apprentice aunt but I’ve not committed any major mistakes. It’s just the matter of a grand recovery pill and you want me to kill my friend for that?” “Recalcitrant fool.” Lu Yanxue snorted coldly. Her gaze turned over, no longer looking at Chu Qingyi, as though she has already given her a chance to redeem herself.
Qin Wentian had been quietly listening. He was somewhat taken aback. Lu Yanxue and Chu Qingyi were both disciples of the Snowdrift Sage Hall, although they were from different factions, their relationship shouldn’t be this bad. Seems like the competition within their sect must be extremely intense. Lu Yanxue wanted to use this chance to suppress Chu Qingyi.
As for himself, he became an opportunity for Lu Yanxue to do so.
“Are you guys treating me like thin air?” At this moment, Qin Wentian spoke, staring at all the experts here.
“Mhm?” The eyes of everyone turned over, landing on Qin Wentian. This man actually also dared to speak here?
Lu Yanxue only cast a single glance at Qin Wentian before looking away, not bothering to spare another glance at him. Lu Zhanfei was coldly laughing as he stared at Qin Wentian with a mocking manner. As for Mo Xiaoxiao, she giggled as she watched this scene with interest.
“You find this funny?” Qin Wentian glanced at Mo Xiaoxiao. These people were discussing about his death, wanting Chu Qingyi to kill him to prove her innocence. It was like he was nothing but an insignificant existence, being able to be killed at anytime, disregarding him completely.
“A lecher who barged into the Coldnether Lake and was narrowly killed by me. You only survived due to consuming a grand recovery pill yet you dare to speak so loudly here? Isn’t this a funny matter?” Mo Xiaoxiao had a sarcastic smile on her face. “I still thought that you would continue hiding behind my junior apprentice sister, not daring to speak. To think that you are so courageous now.”
“You guys are discussing about my death but you didn’t expect me to speak up?” Qin Wentian spoke, while silently musing at how cheap human lives are. If the person here wasn’t him but was some other person, they would directly be slaughtered without another word. To them, who treated themselves as lofty existences, all treated the lives of ordinary people like weeds.
“Sir Qin, you don’t have to interfere in this matter.” Lu Yao tugged on Qin Wentian’s sleeve in a nervous manner. By acting this way, Qin Wentian would cause the matter to become even more chaotic. At that time even when Chu Qingyi did her best, she might not be able to protect him.
“Lu Yao, impudent!” The elder of Lu Yao berated. “You have already helped him so much despite our reluctance. After fortunately surviving, he is still speaking so arrogantly, he must be tired of living.”
“Is that so?” Qin Wentian suddenly laughed. Although his injuries have yet to fully recover, it wouldn’t affect his combat prowess. The experts of a mere City Lord Manor actually dares to slight his existence?
“Since you all feel that I’m tired of living, which of you guys will come and claim my life?” Qin Wentian laughed.
“Qin Wentian.” Chu Qingyi froze. She transmitted her voice over, “Lu Yanxue’s cultivation base is very high, at the mid-stage of the immortal king realm. City Lord Lu is even more powerful. You have to lay low at this moment, leave things here for me to handle.”
A look of worry could be seen on her face. Qin Wentian’s personality was truly still the same as back then when he was in the sacred academy. Tyrannical and brazen. Nobody would be able to force him to take a step back. The people of the Lu Clan had utterly infuriated him.
“Qingyi, you wanted to protect him so badly but he wants to seek death instead. He can’t even appreciate your kindness, yet you are still treating him so well despite the trash he is. Could it be that you have really gone blind?” Lu Zhanfei transmitted his voice to persuade her while shaking his head when he saw how worried Chu Qingyi and Lu Yao was for the sake of Qin Wentian.
He himself was a talented genius of the Lu Clan and is interested in Chu Qingyi. However, Chu Qingyi had always disregarded him. This trash that appeared actually could cause Chu Qingyi to feel so much worry. This truly made Lu Zhanfei extremely unhappy as he felt that he had lost face.
“Chu Qingyi.”
At this moment, Qin Wentian suddenly spoke. His expression was calm but solemn. Chu Qingyi suddenly felt as though Qin Wentian had completely become a brand new person, no longer as amicable as before. His entire being exuded sharpness, and an unexcelled loftiness. He was Qin Wentian, the Qin Wentian who reigned supreme in the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy.
Inclining her head slightly, Chu Qingyi stared at Qin Wentian whose demeanor completely changed, as a sense of awe appeared in her heart. It seemed like Qin Wentian was the only one in this entire world.
“I’ve already said that I wouldn’t bother with what happened between us in the past. This time around, I fell into the Coldnether Lake due to my heavy injuries, you were the one who protected me and sent me here for recovery. Although I would still be fine without consuming a grand recovery pill, I’m still filled with gratitude for the things you’ve done for me.” Qin Wentian calmly spoke. “However, a true man can differentiate between grudges and kindness. You are you, but today, given how the Snowdrift Sage Hall has insulted me, I will not pardon them. I wouldn’t show mercy because of you. I hope you can understand.”
Chu Qingyi felt her body trembling when she heard Qin Wentian’s words. She could feel the aura of a hegemon from him, exuding a magnificence that spanned across the generations.
Chu Qingyi was somewhat in a daze as well, she had no idea where Qin Wentian’s confidence came from but she could truly feel his confidence.
He was Qin Wentian, the genius who fought Huang Shatian of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire when he was merely at the seventh-level of immortal-foundation. He feasted on white tiger flesh and no matter where he is, he would always exude a blinding brilliance. Nobody can make him take a step back, for those who insulted and humiliated him earlier, they would all feel regret sooner or later.
Lu Yao was also shocked by Qin Wentian’s aura. She suddenly thought of the words Qin Wentian spoken to her. He asked her what are the wishes she had, and he might be able to fulfill them.
Did Qin Wentian really have such strength?
That person who had been heavily injured and was slowly nursed back to health by her. Right now, Qin Wentian seemed like a completely different person from the person she thought she knew.
“Has this fellow gone mad?” Mo Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke after she recovered from a daze. She glanced at Qin Wentian and could also sense faintly at how extraordinary he was. However, he actually dared to say such words in public, not planning to pardon the people of the Snowdrift Sage Hall?
Not only Mo Xiaoxiao, all the guests here were all staring at Qin Wentian, like they were looking at a fool.
Has this man gone crazy from the provocations?
Earlier, he even asked who would come to claim his life. Now, he still said that he wouldn’t pardon the experts of the Snowdrift Sage Hall.
“I was heavily injured and was sent here from traveling through the void. Although I consumed a grand recovery pill, I have no grudges with any of you. Yet, you guys are actually discussing about my death here? How ridiculous is this.” Qin Wentian stepped out, staring at Lu Zhanfei and Mo Xiaoxiao. “Even people like you dares to insult and humiliate me? Since this is the case, the trash you two are talking about is right in front of your eyes. Which of you want to come over and take my life?”
“Courting death.” Lu Zhanfei stood up, his aura gushing forth. He stared at Qin Wentian before glancing at Chu Qingyi, “Since his injuries have already recovered, Chu Qingyi, I want to prove to you how bad your judgement is.”
Law energy fluctuation flooded the area, Lu Zhanfei flew out with a sword in his hand, as quick as lightning. The frost law energy covered the area, enveloping Qin Wentian. His sword pierced forth with overwhelming might, wanting to tear through Qin Wentian’s body.
“What a fast sword, Lu Zhanfei is truly a genius of the Lu Clan.” Many mused silently.
The shrill keening of the sword was very ear-piercing. It transformed into sonic booms, exuding a fearsome might.
“Careful!” Both Chu Qingyi and Lu Yao shouted. However, Qin Wentian didn’t seem to have any intentions of dodging it. He quietly stood there, allowing the terrifying sword with the destructive attributes of the coldnether qi to pierce towards his heart.
Chu Qingyi and Lu Yao’s expressions drastically changed. However, at this moment, space seemed to be frozen solid. Lu Zhanfei’s sword pressed into Qin Wentian’s body but it had no way to pierce through. That powerful torrent of sword qi had no way to injure Qin Wentian.
“Are you wearing divine armor?” Lu Zhanfei’s expression stiffened.
Qin Wentian stared at him with an expression of pity. Stretching his hand out, he grabbed Lu Zhanfei’s sword and with a squeeze, the sword actually shattered into pieces.
Staring at those cold eyes of Qin Wentian, Lu Zhanfei felt his heart pounding madly with fear.
“Retreat!” Lu Yanxue called out, but it was already too late. Qin Wentian’s hand shot out, directly grabbing onto Lu Zhanfei’s throat. His cold eyes stared at everyone as he spoke with a voice filled with pity, “Is it Chu Qingyi that’s blind, or you are the one that’s blind?”
“Release him!”
“Zhanfei!” Many experts of the Lu Clan stood up.
Lu Yanxue stood up and icily spoke. “If you abduct Lu Zhanfei because you think you have a chance to flee here, I’m afraid that’s impossible. Release him and I will give you a quick death.”
“Even now, you still want to play games with me, trying to negotiate?” Qin Wentian laughed. This Lu Yanxue most probably thought that he wanted to use Lu Zhanfei’s life to negotiate a path of survival for himself. Hence, she took the initiative to speak first, intending on giving him pressure.
“But then again, given someone like you who believes yourself to be infallible, it’s not hard to see why you would say that.” Qin Wentian laughed. “You completely have no idea who am I, and what my identity is. If I wanted to leave, do you really think I need to resort to use his life and threaten you all?”
A cold smile could be seen on Qin Wentian’s face. He stretched his other hand out, an immense amount of sword might congregated there and an instant later, Lu Zhanfei suddenly let out a scream filled with extreme terror. He could feel the sword might rippling through him, lacerating every part of his body. A few moments later, he was turned into dust amidst his howls of agony.
“RUMBLE!” Numerous violent auras and killing intent gushed forth, enveloping Qin Wentian. However, Qin Wentian stood there arrogantly, calmly staring at everyone.
“Earlier, when I wanted to leave, you guys obstructed me. Now, I want to see how you much you all would beg for me to leave.”
