Everyone in the City of Ancient Emperors was completely shaken by the commotion.
However, Qin Wentian during this period of time, was still leading an extremely leisurely life. Over here, only him and Jun Mengchen were the only males. The others were all maidens from Matriarch Ji’s Sect and the Southern Phoenix Clan. Being surrounded by so many beauties, how could they not be happy and relaxed?
They didn’t hide aside to cultivate. When the time of the arranged battle drew near, everyone knew that the Saber-Sword Immortal King was about to head over. Many couldn’t help but to feel worried for him.
At this moment, Qin Wentian was lying on a huge rock on a certain mountain, staring at the light cascading from the dao elements in the distance. His eyes were immeasurably deep, as bright as starlight.
Footsteps rang out, a beautiful figure appeared beside him. She was extremely beautiful, and as her hair fluttered in the wind, he was able to smell the fragrance from her hair.
This woman was none other than the Immortal King Junyi. During these days, she intentionally got close to Qin Wentian. Right now, everyone knew what was in her heart.
“Junior sister Junyi has fallen.” From afar, the maidens of Matriarch Ji’s sect sat together, smiling as they turned their gazes over.
“However, the Saber-Sword Immortal King keeps remaining neutral, not expressing his stance. Although he’s polite, he also gives others a sense of distance. I’m a little worried…” A maiden sighed lightly.
“The look in the Saber-Sword Immortal King’s eyes is different when he looked at Qing`er. Sigh, I’m afraid junior sister Junyi won’t have any hope.” Someone glanced at Qing`er. Qing`er lowered her head lightly, it wasn’t appropriate for her to reveal Qin Wentian’s identity. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust her fellow apprentice sisters but if she really revealed it here, accidents might occur and the consequences would be unimaginably dire. Qin Wentian has offended too many people using the identity of the Saber-Sword Immortal King.
But Junyi seemed to have truly fallen in love this time around. She kept wanting to get closer to Qin Wentian and kept taking the initiative. Everyone was able to tell that she was in love with the Saber-Sword Immortal King.
Qin Wentian was extremely depressed, he didn’t expect to meet someone like Junyi here. He couldn’t help but to transmit his voice to Qing`er. “Qing`er, what should we do?”
“This is something you caused, you should go solve it yourself. What’s the point of asking me?” Qing`er’s reply was tinged with a little resentment. Qin Wentian felt wronged, he couldn’t help but to sigh in a depressed manner, “But…I’m also innocent.”
Qing`er’s gaze flickered. She also knew that no one was wrong in this matter. She could only reply, “Senior sister Junyi has a cheerful personality. She must have truly fallen in love with you or she wouldn’t act like this. I don’t wish for my senior apprentice sister to be hurt.”
“Mhm, she most probably would understand my attitude towards her as time passed by. If not, after leaving the City of Ancient Emperors, the Saber-Sword Immortal King shall vanish forever.” Qin Wentian sighed. He could sense numerous cold gazes on him, and he could only smile bitterly in his heart.
“Do you loathe me, feeling that I’m too casual?” Junyi hugged her knees as she sat down, her beautiful eyes on the horizon ahead as she suddenly asked in a light tone of voice.
“How can that be? Immortal King Junyi is so beautiful, I only have admiration for you in my heart.” Qin Wentian calmly replied.
“My fellow apprentice sisters are already laughing about me.” Immortal Junyi was like she didn’t hear his reply and mumbled to herself. “This is nothing much. I’ve cultivated for so many years, although I’m always with my fellow sisters, there would inevitably be times where I feel lonely. It’s just that I didn’t have the fate to meet a suitable dao companion that gives me the same feeling. However, I know that my looks are not bad, but there’s still a distance between me and junior sister Qing`er. Let alone, with someone like you, only supreme beauties would be worthy enough to be a match for you.”
“Eh…” Qin Wentian was sweating, he didn’t expect that Junyi would be able to tell that he was in love with Qing`er.
From afar, the disciples of the Matriarch Ji’s sect and maidens from the Southern Phoenix Clan all turned their heads and stared in this direction. Junyi didn’t make any efforts to mask her voice. They could naturally hear her words.
“Junior sister.” There was someone from the Matriarch Ji’s sect who stood up and called.
“Senior sister.” Qing`er also called out.
“It’s fine, I’m only speaking of the matters in my heart, there’s no need to be worried for me.” Junyi turned towards her fellow apprentice sisters and smiled at them. She then spoke to Qin Wentian who was beside her, “Junior sister Qing`er was born with an extraordinary background. Her talent is outstanding and she’s also extremely beautiful. Almost everyone would fall for her. However, she already has someone in her heart. Why is your gaze towards her different? There’s always hints of evasion in your gaze when you look at me.”
“Immortal King Junyi, there are somethings that are unexplainable. Even if one knows that there would be no good ending, one would still harbor a trace of hope.” Qin Wentian spoke in a light voice. Junyi started, after that, she smiled and nodded her head. “That’s true. Are you referring to me? In the future, if you change your mind, please remember to tell me.”
As she spoke, she smiled sweetly and jumped down from the huge rock before walking away.
“Senior sister.” Qing`er walked up to her, there was a look of worry on her face.
“Junior sister Qing`er, I’m fine. This has nothing to do with you.” Junyi glanced over, smiling as she nodded her head at Qing`er. Upon seeing her smile, Qing`er actually felt some pain in her heart. After that, she coldly glanced at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian could only smile bitterly. Things were just out of his control…
Immortal King Junyi walked to the side of the mountain and stared at the sea of clouds. Seeing her back, many people could feel the hurt in her heart. A fellow apprentice sister appeared beside Qing`er and patted her on her shoulders.
In the direction of the Southern Phoenix Clan, Nanfeng Yunxi also had a look of resentment in her eyes when she glanced at Qin Wentian. She then turned to Immortal King Junyi’s back as she sighed silently in her heart.
“Since ancient times, beauties would always fall for heroes. How could someone not fall in love with a magnificent character that was capable of contending against others for the world? But sadly, the falling flowers are yearning for love but the heartless brook ripples on. What a sorrowful thing.” Nanfeng Mingyue, another holy maiden of the Southern Phoenix Clan, sighed as she shook her head.
Jun Mengchen glanced to the left and right. He couldn’t help but sigh silently in admiration. His senior brother was his senior brother indeed. He couldn’t help but to be impressed.
…
The date of the arranged battle drew closer and closer. Today, in an area at the central region of the City of Ancient Emperors, many experts gathered here. Most probably, over 50% of the people currently in the city were here.
That supreme demon from the sun gold race invited the experts who stood at the peak to gather here. After the rules of the city changed, this would truly be a battle of supreme characters who stood at the absolute peak. The crowd would be able to witness their magnificence and glory. If these supreme characters continued to cultivate without dying, they would definitely be able to stand on the top of the immortal realms in the future. Right now given this era, the cultivation speed of every one had increased. The prophecy made back then, about the birth of an ancient emperor, was now believed by everyone as more and more peak-stage immortal emperors gradually appeared.
The surrounding experts were almost countless in numbers, occupying the entire area. However, the center of this space was extremely vast and was left empty. There were only dipliated ruins there.
“They are here.” At this moment, a peak-stage immortal king spoke in a low voice. Many people wondered, “Where?”
As the sound of their voices faded, an extremely terrifying demonic qi gushed forth. The temperature in the surroundings surged up, painting to sky crimson. After that, an immensely powerful figure appeared. Although this person was in human-form, the demonic qi he exuded soared up into the air. As his eyes swept across the surroundings, no one dared to match his gaze.
“Where’s the Saber-Sword Immortal King?” His voice contained an intense killing intent as his body gleamed with a dazzling light.
This man, was none other than the supreme demon of the phoeroc race who stood at the peak, Jia Huangtian.
“He’s arrived. The battle back then, the Saber-Sword Immortal King killed the demons of the three races, including that of the phoeroc race. Jia Huangtian has been searching for the Saber-Sword Immortal King high and low but was unable to find him. Today, he will surely kill the Saber-Sword Immortal King.” Many people felt their hearts trembling when they sensed his killing intent. There was no need to doubt Jia Huangtian’s strength. He had an extremely high-graded bloodline and had startling might.
“ROAR!” Another heaven-shaking noise echoed through the air. Lightning flashed as the sky changed color. A gigantic true dragon rushed down, radiating imposing might. Countless people felt a stifling pressure pressing down on them. The body of the dragon was so vast that one couldn’t see the end of it with a single glance.
A pair of fearsome eyes glanced down at the crowd. After that, the dragon took on human-form and landed on the ground. From every part of his body, a tyrannical aura could be felt. After he descended, the crowd discovered many demonic dragons followed behind him with this man as the leader.
And at this moment, a brilliant beam of light shot up into the sky. Another giant sun appeared as a war chariot shuttled through space. This was none other than the supreme greater demon of the sun gold race who issued the invitation. The members of his race also stood in the chariot all around him.
“All of them have such powerful auras.” The crowd trembled as they sighed. Regardless of their emperor’s fate or the might emitted from their bodies. These characters were clearly on a different level.
“The supreme demons from the desolate mountains are all so impatient, the first three were actually all from the demon races.” Everyone commented lightly. After that, another supreme demon with an imposing countenance and extremely cold aura appeared. It was like he came from hell itself. His aura made it so that nobody dared to approach him.
“It’s that supreme demon from the Nether Race.”
“It’s rumored that he comprehended the energy of hell and reincarnation. He is extremely powerful.”
A divine light suddenly flashed in the sky. The fox maidens from the nine-tailed fox race appeared, instantly drawing the attention of many. This was especially so for the fox goddess in the lead. She was so alluring, truly a goddess in terms of beauty.
More and more experts from the demon race appeared. There were many extraordinary greater demons but only a few who stood at the absolute peak. This doesn’t mean that the demon race was weak. It was only because there were many other demons who haven’t fully matured yet now, and weren’t yet qualified to stand at the peak of the City of Ancient Emperors. An example was Little Rascal, as a heaven-devouring beast. If given time to grow, he would definitely be one of those who stood at the peak of the entire immortal realms in the future.
Right now, a human in black arrived. However, despite being human, violent auras of demonic beasts could be felt from him.
“This must be that person from the Beast God Sect. He’s incredibly mysterious and dangerous. There are already many powerful greater demons who died in his hands.”
After that, an ancient buddha appeared. It was one of the buddha cultivators from the Ask Heart Temple.
Jiang Zihua also showed up. He glanced at that monk from the Ask Heart Temple. The two of them received the inheritance from the same dao element and they would definitely have an inevitable confrontation in the future.
“Everyone came so early.” A calm voice rang out. From afar, a figure in white could be seen approaching the area. This man in white was extremely young and looked very harmless. There were no traces of any aura from him at all. However, those who knew him didn’t dare to underestimate him. If just based on the surface, who would have expected that this young man was actually a powerful devil cultivator?
If Qin Wentian was here, he would surely recognize him. This person was none other than the one who invited him to the devil mountain back then, that supreme apostle from the Devil Apostle Hall.
After he arrived, many other devil cultivators also appeared, but they belonged to different factions.
There was another devil cultivator who appeared, shrouded in darkness. He was like a sinister shadow and was from the Darkness Devil Hall.
