Several days later, in an elegant courtyard, a sword, a saber, and a set of divine robes were placed before Qin Wentian. In his hands, there was a mask which he placed on his face. As astral energy flowed into it, the mask gradually melded into his skin, becoming a perfect fit with his skin.
Before Qin Wentian, Feng Zhu and Feng Qianxue stared at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian's countenance changed slightly, exuding a devilishly handsome sense of beauty. As the mask melded into his skin, it gave off a mysterious and blurry feeling.
"Awesome. Little sister, how did you forge this mask? I have no way to recognize Brother Qin. But he clearly doesn't seem to be wearing a mask, yet he gave off a blurry feeling." Feng Zhu spoke.
"I used the talisman bone of a Sky Illusionary Beast as well as the hide of some powerful illusionary beasts. This mask doesn't have any offensive capabilities, but it's most suitable for concealment." Feng Qianxue smiled.
"So this is the case. No wonder it gave off a strange feeling. You actually made use of treasures from illusionary beasts."
"This set of divine robes is the same. Other than concealing your aura, it also has a defensive effect. It can meld into your skin and shrink easily, changing according to your body." Feng Qianxue pointed to the robes as she spoke.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian could sense a faint illusory energy emanating from the robes. However, he didn't immediately put it on. Instead, he took out his sword and saber, holding them in both hands as he infused his law energy into them. A moment later, a terrifying energy gushed forth from the sword and saber.
"I didn't set any law attributes for this divine weapon. After all, we all cultivate different attributes. However, there are many runic arrays imprinted within, allowing it to be compatible with any law attribute energy and amplify one's attack. The sword moves with lightness, the saber wields tyranny. What do you think?" Feng Qianxue spoke to Qin Wentian.
"Very good. Qianxue, I really have to thank you this time around." Qin Wentian spoke with gratitude. The mask and robes were all for the sake of concealing his identity. The sword and saber were for the sake of attacking, and also for the sake of concealing the fact that he had used divine weapons before. In this case, he wouldn't be recognized by others and wouldn't be hunted down by the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
"By the way, Feng Zhu, Qianxue, please help me keep this a secret," Qin Wentian said to the two of them.
"Understood." Feng Zhu nodded. He knew that Qin Wentian might have a powerful enemy. Feng Qianxue also nodded.
"However, those people have seen Brother Qin's real face. Will it be troublesome?" Feng Zhu asked.
"This is simple." Qin Wentian smiled. With a thought, the mask slowly seeped out of his skin. Qin Wentian waved his hand and put it away. He smiled and said, "Use your original appearance for now. After I leave, you can disguise yourself. This way, no one will know."
"That's true." Feng Zhu smiled.
"Who?" At this moment, Qin Wentian kept his divine weapons. He frowned as he stared into the distance. There were actually people spying on them using their immortal sense. This was an extremely unfriendly act.
Feng Qianxue also frowned. After that, a cold voice drifted over, "My Sacred Sun Sect came here to ask the Blackmetal Emperor Sect to forge weapons for you. Yet, the holy maiden of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect actually complained that the time limit we gave was too short. Now, you are actually here enjoying yourself under the moonlight? Why are you so free?"
"I will naturally do what I promised. I will forge the divine weapons you guys need. Sir, don't you think it's a little too much to use your immortal sense to spy on us?" Feng Qianxue's beautiful face was covered with frost. This place was the Holy Maiden Manor, there was no need to set up any barriers and no one would dare to use their immortal senses to probe without permission. However, these people from the Sacred Sun Sect were truly extremely rude.
"Let me remind you guys, your opponents are here." That voice coldly snorted. Feng Qianxue furrowed her brows as her immortal sense extended out. After that, she discovered that there were experts flying out from many of the great halls and residences, heading towards a certain direction. Over there, a group of experts could be seen flying over.
Qin Wentian's immortal sense extended out, he could also see the group of experts rushing over here. Their auras were all extremely terrifying, all of them were immortal kings. It was extremely rare for an ordinary emperor-ranked power to send out so many immortal kings.
"It's the Sky Bell Cult, Divine Inscriptions Palace and Vajra Sect." Feng Zhu frowned as a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"The other three emperor-ranked powers of the Eastern Tomb Immortal City?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. In this ancient city, there were four emperor-ranked powers. They were the Sky Bell Cult, Divine Inscriptions Palace, Vajra Sect and Blackmetal Emperor Sect. Right now, the other three emperor-ranked powers have arrived at the same time. This was extremely unusual. No wonder there were so many immortal kings, there were actually three emperor-ranked powers.
"Mhm, are the people of our Blackmetal Emperor Sect rushing over? Let's go and take a look as well." Feng Zhu spoke. The three of them flew over. Feng Qianxue furrowed her brows. Before this, there were some rumors in the Eastern Tomb Immortal City. Seems like this rumor might be true. The other three emperor-ranked powers might have betrayed the Eastern Tomb.
Not long after, Qin Wentian and the others arrived at the location where the experts were gathered. There were at least several hundred immortal kings here, the lineup was extremely terrifying. The experts from the Sacred Sun Sect and Thunder God Hall also arrived. They stood on the two sides, as though they were here to watch a show.
"Holy Maiden Qianxue is here." In the direction of the Sky Bell Cult, a young immortal king stared at Feng Qianxue as his eyes gleamed with sharpness. This Feng Qianxue was extremely famous. In the Eastern Tomb, many immortal kings wanted to subdue her.
"What do you all mean by this?" An old man from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect spoke, staring at the three emperor-ranked powers as he questioned.
"Let's seal this space first." An expert from the other side spoke. After that, one of them descended from the sky and in an instant, a terrifying beam of light shot up into the clouds. Runic inscriptions shone resplendently as it transformed into an incomparably gigantic golden bell that descended from the sky, enveloping this vast space. That beam of light cascaded down, sealing this entire space.
The expressions of the people from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect turned sharper as they stared at these people.
"Today, we are here to propose marriage. We would like to invite the Saint Child of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect to marry into our clan and the Holy Maiden to marry into our clan." An expert from the Divine Inscriptions Palace spoke, his words causing the expressions of the people from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect to turn incredibly ugly to behold. Saint Child marrying into our clan? Holy Maiden marrying into our clan?
Their Blackmetal Emperor Sect didn't have many saint children and holy maidens. In fact, it could be said that they were extremely rare. All of them had awakened their talents and only they understood what that meant. Yet, the other party actually wanted to capture all of them in one fell swoop.
"Impossible." The old man from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect coldly rejected. "Although our four hegemonic powers have conflicts, we have always been in harmony. By doing this, are you guys trying to seize the foundation of my Blackmetal Emperor Sect? What are your intentions exactly?"
"I've already said it, right?" The old man from the Divine Inscriptions Palace calmly spoke. "Our four hegemonic powers have obtained the Holy Book from the Eastern Tomb for generations. Although this is considered a secret to the outside world, we are very clear that the people of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect who can inherit the Holy Book would all have extremely high attainments in weaponsmithing. So what if the Saint Children and Holy Maidens of this generation are sent to our three hegemonic powers? In the next generation, there would still be many Saint Children and Holy Maidens."
"Holy Book?" The eyes of Qin Wentian who was at the side flashed. He didn't expect the rumors to be true. The Eastern Tomb Holy Temple of the past, even until now, still had inheritances left behind. Also, among the four hegemonic powers, this wasn't considered a secret. All of them were very clear about this secret.
"You guys are all basking in the radiance of the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple and comprehending the Holy Book. Why are you guys trying to seize the inheritances of my Blackmetal Emperor Sect?" The old man spoke in anger. The eyes of the other experts were all cold as they stared at the old man from the three hegemonic powers.
"But only the Blackmetal Emperor Sect is capable of weaponsmithing." An expert from the Divine Inscriptions Palace spoke.
"What if I don't agree?" The old man from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect spoke.
"If you don't agree, in that case, from now on, the Blackmetal Emperor Sect will not be able to touch the inheritance of the Eastern Tomb." The old man from the Vajra Sect calmly spoke. That old man had bronze-colored skin and exuded an aura of toughness. His body was like a divine weapon, exuding a sense of imposingness.
"You guys are going too far." The old man from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect had a cold expression on his face as his anger radiated forth.
"Everyone, why must you all be so angry? The four great emperor sects of the Eastern Tomb all originated from the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple. If any of them lost their inheritances, it would be a loss to the Eastern Tomb. Why don't the four great emperor sects of the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple unite and return to the glory of the Eastern Tomb?" At this moment, the old man from the Sacred Sun Sect calmly spoke, his words causing the other experts to turn their gazes over.
"It's easier said than done if the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple wants to unite. The four great powers have long been deeply rooted. If we unite them, who would control them? Who would submit?" The old man from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect spoke.
"I have a suggestion. Why don't we unite the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple but we won't interfere with each other. Although we belong to the same power, we would still be on equal footing. My Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall can act as mediators, helping the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple to grow stronger. How about it?" The old man from the Sacred Sun Sect continued.
"Mhm, this suggestion isn't bad. I agree as well." The experts from the Thunder God Hall nodded in agreement. After that, the expressions of the experts from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect froze. So it turned out that this time around, the people from the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall came here for a false request. They came here for the sake of the entire Blackmetal Emperor Sect.
In addition, this time around, the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall came to an agreement. If they controlled the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple, they would resist the pressure from the other peak powers and swallow the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple whole.
"If this is the case, my Sky Bell Cult has no objections."
"The Divine Inscriptions Palace agrees as well."
"The Vajra Sect agrees." The three hegemonic powers all expressed their stances. The people from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect all had ashen expressions. So it turned out that they were the only ones left. The other three hegemonic powers had already betrayed the Eastern Tomb and chose to submit.
What did the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall do exactly to make the other three hegemonic powers submit? One must know that there was a reason why the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple was able to survive until now. If the four hegemonic powers joined forces, they would be able to borrow the strength of the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple.
But now, after the other three hegemonic powers submitted, they no longer had any other paths to take.
"The Blackmetal Emperor Sect is finished." Qin Wentian silently mused. There was no way to reverse this situation. Seems like the other hegemonic powers have already started to control more powers, making them submit in order to deal with the chaos in the immortal realms!
