"BOOM!"
A thunderous sound rang out as Nie Yunchang's body slammed into Qing Er's. The terrifying impact caused the two of them to be flung through the air.
Huang Youdi's body plummeted downwards. The expressions of the three experts changed as they caught hold of Huang Youdi's body. At this moment, their hearts were pounding violently.
She actually dared to kill, directly killing Huang Youdi of the Nine Emperors Immortal State. She didn't care about the consequences and didn't hesitate to kill him.
At this moment, Huang Youdi, who was said to be a match for everyone under the heavens, had died in the Sacred Academy.
Someone as arrogant as him would never have imagined that he would die in the hands of that woman named Qing Er.
How arrogant was he once? He stared at Jun Mengchen with disdain, declaring to Jun Mengchen that since his royal elder brother had spoken, Qing`er was the woman of his royal brother. There was no need for him to interfere, and there was no need for him to know who Qing`er was.
But before he died, he learned that the woman named Qing Er was someone who could take his life. At the moment before he died, did he regret his arrogance, regretting that he had died in the Sacred Academy?
The battle between Huang Wudi and Mo Ziyan stopped. Their bodies flickered, and Huang Wudi appeared in front of Huang Youdi, while Mo Ziyan appeared in front of Nie Yunchang.
Huang Wudi hugged Huang Youdi's corpse, and a trace of sorrow could be seen in his eyes. Although he didn't really like this younger brother of his, who was arrogant and despotic and didn't respect him, and only had Huang Shatian in his eyes, the truth was that Wudi and Youdi were blood brothers. They had the same father and mother, while Huang Shatian was only a half-brother.
Therefore, between the two of them, one was invincible, while the other was invincible.
Huang Youdi had always thought highly of himself, and believed that he would surpass his elder brother sooner or later. Hence, he did not have much respect for him. Instead, he admired Huang Shatian, who was more talented. But so what? Huang Shatian was his younger brother, and blood was thicker than water. Now, he was dead.
The daughter of the Evergreen Clan actually dared to kill him.
Nie Yunchang wasn't dead yet, she seemed to still have a breath of life left in her body. Her immortal foundation was shattered and her life force was severed. Her aura was flowing rapidly but there was still a smile in her eyes as she stared at Qing'er and Mo Ziyan.
"In the end, I still made a choice." Nie Yunchang had a bitter smile on her face. After hearing Mo Ziyan's words, an intense doubt appeared in her heart. She doubted herself, but she still had hatred in her heart. This lasted until she saw how Qing'er was willing to sacrifice everything to kill Huang Youdi for her sake. Even if there were three powerful experts behind her, she wouldn't hesitate. She had to kill him no matter what.
At this moment, Nie Yunchang seemed to understand something. Her so-called hypocrisy was nothing more than a figment of her imagination. Even when she stabbed a sharp blade into Qing'er's heart, Qing'er still didn't feel any hatred towards her. In that case, what did everything she did count for?
"Since you chose the path of life, why do you have to turn back?" Mo Ziyan spoke with pain in her heart.
"No matter what, I'm still Master's disciple. If she expelled me from the sect, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to accept it even if I died." Nie Yunchang inclined her head and stared at the sky. It was as though she could see the majestic and benevolent countenance of her master. Her eyes flickered with a smile as she stared at Qing'er, then at the sky. Her smile was extremely radiant, as though she had been freed of all restraints. Her life had been glorious and dazzling before. Although it was short, even if it withered away, it should still be resplendent.
"Senior Sister, why?" Qing'er closed her eyes in agony. She felt as though her heart was being sliced apart by blades.
Nie Yunchang didn't reply. Her life force was rapidly flowing away, but her beautiful eyes were still as bright as ever. Without the support of her immortal foundation, her internal organs were all shattered, and her immortal energy had lost its source. Her life force naturally wouldn't be able to sustain it any longer. She was already on the verge of death.
The earth continued to rumble and rumble. Far away in the horizon, the silhouette of a giant appeared. When Nie Yunchang saw the silhouette of the giant, she mumbled in a low voice, "Your lover is here to look for you."
As she spoke, she slowly closed her eyes. Her life force continued to flow away until it completely disappeared. There was not a single trace of it left.
Huang Wudi inclined his head and stared at the sky in the distance. He also saw the silhouette of the giant, and his eyes flashed with an intense killing intent. He swept his gaze over to Qing`er and the others as he coldly spoke, "Kill without mercy."
"BOOM!" An incomparably terrifying battle palm imprint blasted over, blotting out the sun. That expert from the Battle Saint Tribe came to the side of Mo Ziyan and spoke, "Go."
Mo Ziyan caught Nie Yunchang's body. A terrifying spatial energy enveloped her as they sped away together, transforming into a beam of spatial light.
Huang Wudi's aura was terrifying to the extreme. He frenziedly chased after them, moving with lightning speed towards Mo Ziyan and the others.
Evidently, Mo Ziyan and the others wanted to join forces with the giant. This was something he couldn't tolerate. Once Qin Wentian joined forces with these people, it would be even more difficult for them to kill them.
How fast were those who were proficient in spatial energy? This was especially so for someone as powerful as Mo Ziyan. Her spatial energy flashed unceasingly in the air as they fled further and further away. Only Huang Wudi and the other two experts were able to catch up to Mo Ziyan and the others.
The rumbling sounds continued as the tremors of the earth grew more and more intense. Mo Ziyan, who was speeding forward, got nearer and nearer to the giant. At the end, the giant also seemed to know of their existence and began to move in a straight line towards them.
Qin Wentian indeed knew where Qing 'er and Mo Ziyan were. This was because he had the three esteemed monks of the Wenxin Temple with him. These esteemed monks were proficient in the secret arts of the buddhist path and possessed boundless might.
At the end, Huang Wudi and the others had given up.
Finally, Qin Wentian met up with Mo Ziyan and the others. When he saw Qing 'er, a radiant smile appeared in Qin Wentian's eyes. Although she looked somewhat haggard, he was already very happy that she was fine.
However, after that, when he saw Nie Yunchang's corpse in Mo Ziyan's arms, his expression changed. After which, he reverted back to his original state and walked to Mo Ziyan's side, staring at the corpse of Ji Di's Followers. He was speechless.
"Junior apprentice sister Yunchang died in battle," Mo Ziyan spoke. She didn't mention Nie Yunchang's betrayal. She only said one sentence. She didn't wish for Nie Yunchang to have any more blemishes on her reputation.
She wouldn't mention it, and Qing 'er wouldn't mention it as well, even to Qin Wentian.
In fact, the experts of the Battle Saint Tribe wouldn't even mention it. They knew the reason behind Nie Yunchang's death, and they would choose to respect her.
Qin Wentian stared at Nie Yunchang's corpse. A supreme beauty who exuded magnificence throughout the generations had died because of this war. Who was at fault exactly?
"We still need to continue moving forward," Qin Wentian spoke after a moment of silence, "We can't afford to suffer any more losses. This debt will be settled in the future."
Mo Ziyan naturally understood that the most important thing now was to gather all the people who were fleeing, including her other sisters.
Qin Wentian didn't even have time to reminisce about old times with Qing 'er. He directly transformed back into his giant form and continued moving forward. Rumbling sounds echoed out as they continued moving forward. On the way, more and more people gathered here. Only when they reached the deepest part of the Sacred Mountain did they decide to stop for a short while before leaving.
Many days had already passed.
From the top of the ancient mountain, one could see a boundless world of glaciers. This Sacred Academy seemed to have no end. They decided not to continue moving forward. If they had truly fled this far, the Battle Saint Tribe wouldn't have chased them so deep.
"Elder sister Qing 'er seems to be a little strange." At this moment, Mo Qingcheng stood beside Qin Wentian, staring at the beautiful silhouette standing alone on the peak of the mountain.
Qin Wentian could also sense it. During these days, Qing 'er had been Cold. Because she had always been like this, Qin Wentian didn't feel anything strange at the start. But as time passed, he gradually discovered that something was wrong.
"Go and take a look." Mo Qingcheng gently smiled as she released Qin Wentian's hand.
"Okay." Qin Wentian nodded. His silhouette flickered as he arrived at the peak of the ancient mountain. He quietly stood beside Qing 'er, silently gazing at the scenery in the distance.
He didn't intentionally disturb them. The cold wind gusted by, yet the two of them didn't seem to feel it. Their robes fluttered in the wind, and Qin Wentian's body was pressed against Qing 'er's, allowing her to feel that she was right beside him.
Qing 'er's body leaned against Qin Wentian's shoulder, as though she wanted to find a comfortable place to lean on.
Qin Wentian hugged her waist, allowing her head to rest on his shoulder.
"Qing 'er, let's sit down." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. Qing 'er lightly nodded her head, and the two of them sat down. Qing' er's chest was slightly tilted, and her body unceasingly leaned towards Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian took the opportunity to pull her into his embrace. At this moment, his heart wasn't as calm as he appeared on the surface.
Qing 'er had always been Cold. She was strong and independent, and had never been so attached to him before. At this moment, he could truly feel her fragility.
"Wentian, were we wrong?" Qing 'er softly asked. She rested her head on Qin Wentian's thighs as her beautiful eyes stared into the distance.
"In this world, there's no such thing as right or wrong, only the strong and the weak. There are some things that we can't control. There are many people in the Sacred Academy who are eyeing you covetously, but your fellow apprentice sisters all stood by your side without any hesitation, fighting for you. You should be grateful and cherish these feelings, but there's no need to blame yourself. If they met with trouble, I believe you would also stand up for them without any hesitation, am I right?"
Given how sharp Qin Wentian's senses were, how could he not know what Qing 'er was referring to? Nie Yunchang's death must have affected her greatly.
"But ultimately, they were embroiled in this war because of me." Qing 'er still blamed herself. She couldn't forget Nie Yunchang's words, and couldn't forget the smile on her face before her death.
Qin Wentian knew that no matter how he tried to persuade her, it was useless. This was an unsolvable problem. In truth, he would also ask himself if he could do it all over again. If he could do it all over again, would he be able to do it better? He didn't know. No one would know.
The only thing he could do now was to make himself stronger. This way, no one would dare to bully those around him. If he wasn't strong enough, he would have to maintain a certain level of vigilance.
Qin Wentian lowered his head and stared at Qing 'er. He discovered that there were crystalline tears in her eyes. Despite her strong character, at this moment, she was lying in his embrace, unable to conceal her fragility.
"Qing 'er, tears can also heal wounds." Qin Wentian gently spoke, hugging Qing 'er even tighter. Qing' er's tears unceasingly flowed down her cheeks. She shifted her body, changing her direction and burrowing into Qin Wentian's embrace, hugging him tightly. Perhaps, only in front of the person she loved the most would she be able to let go of all pretense, to let go of all her strength.
Qin Wentian hugged the delicate figure in his embrace. His heart felt like it was about to melt. He gazed at the scenery in the distance. There was no scenery in this world that could compare to the beauty of Qing 'er's tears. Those tears contained her exquisite emotions!
