The Yearly Sacrifice Day had already passed, and the Chu Country welcomed a new year.
However, at the start of the new year, the people of the Chu Country didn't have a peaceful time. The flames of war had already been ignited, and the entire Chu Country was filled with the smoke of war.
Many of the troops stationed at the borders of the Chu Country had already raised their banners to oppose the Royal Clan of Chu. Nobody would have thought that the peaceful Chu Country would be rocked by such a terrifying wave in just a few short days.
The authority of the Royal Clan of Chu was already wavering, on the verge of collapse.
Those with more experience could naturally tell that the flames of war that were ignited in a few days wasn't something that could be accomplished in a day or two. Most probably, the Royal Clan had already been preparing for many years, and was only waiting for a single command from a certain location. Only then would the Chu Dragon Guards be able to attack with lightning speed, not touching the citizens of the Chu Country, and not killing the troops that had submitted to them.
In the Chu Country, the cultivators of the Chu Country didn't care much about the concept of the Royal Clan.
The Royal Clan was the strongest power in the Chu Country, and that was all. Hence, they didn't care who was the ruler of the Chu Country, as long as it didn't touch them. Hence, nobody dared to anger the citizens of the Chu Country. If all the Wu Xiu in the Chu Country were to unite, even the Royal Clan would collapse.
Hence, although the flames of war were blazing, within the borders of Chu, there were still many youths with good talent rushing towards the direction of the Royal Capital.
This was because the various martial academies in the Chu Country were about to start their recruitment drive. This was a chance that they had been waiting for over a year. Compared to the Royal Clan, they were more concerned about their own future in the Martial Path.
And to those with outstanding talent, choosing between the Emperor Star Academy or the Royal Academy became a difficult choice. After the merger of the Royal Academy and the Godly General Martial Palace, the strength of the Royal Academy was comparable to the Emperor Star Academy. Not only that, the conflict between the two academies was already an open matter.
As the youths of the Chu Country gathered in the Royal Capital, a piece of news was transmitted from the Royal Capital.
Today, the newly merged Royal Academy would bring along their most outstanding disciples to pay a visit to the Emperor Star Academy. This news instantly swept through the Royal Capital, attracting the attention of countless people. This visit was extremely important to the decision of the youths.
Today, Qin Wentian ended his closed-door seclusion. Although Francis had sent over many precious materials, it was still insufficient for him to cultivate the Fiend Transformation Art.
To cultivate the Fiend Transformation Art, the requirement for demonic cores was exceedingly high. But luckily, what made Qin Wentian happy was that he discovered that he was extremely suitable to cultivate the Fiend Transformation Art. It was as though this cultivation art was specially prepared for him. Even his blood seemed to be filled with an indescribable excitement.
Qin Wentian inscribed a Divine Inscription painting, and at the same time, sent a letter to the Divine Weapon Pavilion. He believed that the Divine Inscription painting would allow him to obtain the resources he wanted.
Walking into the courtyard, Qin Wentian took in a deep breath of fresh air. A white silhouette flew towards him, directly leaping into his embrace.
"Little Rascal, did you miss me?" Qin Wentian rubbed Little Rascal's head as he smiled.
Little Rascal's big eyes stared at Qin Wentian, as a smile appeared on its face. It was extremely adorable.
"Wentian." Qin Chuan and Qin Yao walked over upon seeing Qin Wentian exiting his closed-door seclusion.
"Father, sister," Qin Wentian had a smile on his face, and upon seeing Qin Chuan's furrowed brows, he asked, "Father, is there something on your mind?"
"Wentian, during these few days when you were cultivating, many things happened in the Chu Country." Qin Yao pulled Qin Wentian to the side and sat down, as she recounted everything to Qin Wentian.
After hearing Qin Yao's words, Qin Wentian's heart shuddered as he fell silent.
"Seems like Grandpa Qin had long since prepared for this." Qin Wentian sighed. For the past year, he had been working hard, wanting to rescue his father and Grandpa Qin. But in reality, there was no need for him to act. Qin Wu and Qin Chuan would be fine.
"Wentian, I have no idea about this matter. Your grandpa hid it from me." Qin Chuan stated.
"The struggle for power, that's how it is. If Ancestor Qin Wu was harmed by the Emperor of Chu, and Grandpa Qin didn't do anything, the Qin Clan could only be trampled on by others. This is what a man of character should do." Qin Wentian murmured.
"I'm afraid there's something fishy about the death of Ancestor. If not, based on Grandpa Qin's strength, there's no way he would be able to cause so many people to rebel. Only Ancestor Qin would have such prestige," Qin Chuan stated.
"Mhm, as long as one lives in this world, it's best to live with a clear conscience. How can we allow ourselves to be played by others?" A smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face. The Royal Clan of Chu had never been a good bunch.
"Yes, if the Qin Clan didn't rebel, they would only be waiting for death." Qin Chuan stood up, as he heroically stated. He didn't place much importance on the loyalty of the Qin Clan. Leaving aside how Qin Wu died, just the fact that the Emperor of Chu suppressed the Qin Clan and forced them to move out of Sky Harmony City was already enough. If they rebelled, so be it.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps drifted over from the courtyard. Qin Wentian and the rest turned their gazes over, only to see Fatty Fan Le walking over. Upon seeing Qin Wentian, he couldn't help but feel joy as he stated, "Boss, you've finally completed your cultivation. Today, Chu Tianjiao brought a group of people to pay a visit to the Emperor Star Academy, and even threatened to bring sister Qin Yao away. That trash is truly too arrogant. What bullshit visit, he's here to provoke us."
"What a joke. Who is sister Qin Yao to them? How can they bring her away just because they want to? And they even used this as an excuse to pay a visit to the Emperor Star Academy. " Qin Wentian was enraged. Leaving aside the fact that the Crown Prince of Snowcloud had betrayed Qin Yao, even if he didn't betray her, so what if Qin Yao didn't agree to be together with him? Could it be that just because he was the Crown Prince of Snowcloud, he had to force himself on her?
Wasn't Xiao Lv placing his position a little too high?
"I think so too. How arrogant. Let's hope the Emperor Star Academy would be able to suppress their arrogance a little. Boss, let's go take a look together." Fan Le said to Qin Wentian.
"Right." Qin Wentian nodded his head.
"I'll go as well." Qin Yao stepped forward and pulled on Qin Wentian's hand.
Qin Wentian looked at Qin Yao as he laughed, "Fine. What does this Crown Prince of Snowcloud count for? Is he even worthy of my sister? How dare he be so arrogant?"
"Yes, in the future, my younger brother would definitely be more outstanding compared to this Crown Prince of Snowcloud." Qin Yao's smile was filled with hints of mischievousness.
Qin Chuan, seeing how close the relationship between the siblings was, had a gratified expression on his face. In his entire life, the things he was most satisfied with were these two children of his. Although Qin Wentian was only his foster son, Qin Wentian's position in his heart was in no way inferior to Qin Yao's. Qin Wentian was like a son to him.
The news of Chu Tianjiao bringing the newly merged Royal Academy to pay a visit was already known to everyone. Naturally, the Emperor Star Academy wouldn't obstruct them and opened the gates to welcome them.
This was a provocation, and they could only accept it.
In the central arena of the Emperor Star Academy, there were already many people gathered. Many students were discussing amongst themselves. Today, they saw many outstanding Yuanfu Seniors of the Emperor Star Academy. Normally, these Yuanfu Seniors would rarely appear in the academy, but at this moment, many of them were here. Evidently, the newly merged Royal Academy had given the Emperor Star Academy an immense amount of pressure.
From afar, a group of silhouettes walked over. These silhouettes were all youths around 20 years of age, each of them exuding an extraordinary aura.
Those who knew the inside story understood that this time around, not only did the newly merged Royal Academy come, there were also a few geniuses from Snowcloud as well as the silhouettes of the Nine Mystical Palace.
This gave the Emperor Star Academy an immense amount of pressure. At this moment, Old Gu, who was seated in the spectator stands, furrowed his brows as he stared at the approaching silhouettes. This time around, the situation didn't seem too good.
With such a line-up, it would be extremely difficult for the Emperor Star Academy to deal with them.
"Wentian, you're here." At this moment, Old Gu noticed that Qin Wentian was walking over, and he couldn't help but smile.
Qin Wentian could be said to be the most outstanding student he had seen ever since he joined the Emperor Star Academy. Naturally, he was fond of Qin Wentian.
"Old Gu." Qin Wentian walked to his side, before turning his gaze to Mustang and bowing, "Teacher."
"Come sit beside me." Old Gu smiled, intentionally giving up a seat for Qin Wentian, causing those below to feel a wave of envy. Currently, Qin Wentian's status in the academy had already exceeded that of an Elder. Back then, when he was assassinated, the entire academy was in a state of panic, and in the end, Qin Wentian even killed Jiang Zhen on the spot.
"In that case, Wentian shall be impudent." Qin Wentian humbly replied, as he sat beside Old Gu.
"I'm really waiting to see when you can be impudent." Old Gu stroked his beard, as he looked at Qin Wentian and laughed, "That granddaughter of mine is extremely mischievous nowadays. When will you be able to tame her for me?"
"Eh … …" Qin Wentian froze, as he blinked his eyes.
"Why? Are you unwilling?" Old Gu put on a straight face, pretending to be angry.
"No." Qin Wentian hurriedly replied.
"Haha, that means you have such thoughts. I'll tell my granddaughter about it another day." Old Gu hurriedly spoke, causing Qin Wentian's countenance to stiffen. After which, a bitter smile appeared on his face, as he had fallen into the trap of Old Gu.
"Old Gu, you are really … …" Qin Wentian was somewhat speechless.
"What's wrong with that? In my opinion, Wentian, you and Miss Mo are quite compatible." Qin Yao, who was standing at the side, laughed.
"Right, even your elder sister has said so." Old Man Gu also smiled happily, and his furrowed brows also relaxed. At his age, seeing that the younger generation was young and talented, if they could find a good home, that would be the happiest thing for him.
"Chu Tianjiao of the Royal Academy pays his respects to the Elders of the Emperor Star Academy."
At this moment, a voice drifted over, instantly ruining Old Gu's mood. His countenance turned cold as he turned his gaze over, only to see Chu Tianjiao bringing a group of people over to the spectator stand.
Although these people came with ill intentions, they didn't forget their etiquette. They all bowed in the direction of the Emperor Star Academy, showing their respect to the Elders.
"May I know what identity the 3rd Prince is using to come to the Emperor Star Academy?" Old Gu stared at Chu Tianjiao as he asked in a clear voice.
"The Crown Prince of Snowcloud, Xiao Lvl, came to the Emperor Star Academy to escort Qin Yao back to her country. However, he was obstructed time and time again. As the host, I have no choice but to pay a visit. I would like to plead with the Elders not to interfere in this matter, as it would affect the friendship between the Chu and Snowcloud Countries. Not only that, the words of a lowly person like Chu are not enough to influence the decisions of the Elders.
Chu Tianjiao politely replied, not letting out a single drop of water. He came here in the name of the 3rd Prince, as well as in the name of the Royal Academy.
