Qin Wentian knew that the matter regarding the Stellar Fruits wouldn't end peacefully. His gaze landed on Qian Mengyu. He wasn't that familiar with the Greencloud Pavilion, he only knew of Qian Mengyu.
"What do you think?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Miss Mengyu, this man has been under our care. By right, we should be the ones to distribute the Stellar Fruits. Not only that …" As she spoke, she cast a glance at Mu Baifei and the rest. These people were like tigers eyeing their prey. With the Stellar Fruits, it would undoubtedly make up for their disadvantage in numbers. With her Yuanfu Realm cultivation base, as long as she had enough Stellar Fruits, she would be able to unleash some powerful innate techniques.
Qian Mengyu furrowed her brows as she stared into Qin Wentian's eyes. "Forget it, since we are acquaintances, let's split the fruits equally."
Qian Mengyu didn't want to haggle too much. Not only that, there were four of them, while Qin Wentian only had two. Even if they split the fruits equally, they would still get the most.
Maybe, in Qian Mengyu's heart, she also felt that they should be the ones to distribute the fruits. After all, compared to them, Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng were the weaker party. If it was someone else, they wouldn't even think of splitting the fruits, and would directly deal with Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng instead.
Qin Wentian was no longer as simple and honest as he was in the past. The moment he heard Qian Mengyu's words, he instantly knew what she was thinking. However, the female cultivator beside Qian Mengyu interjected, "No way, Miss. Now that there are external enemies, if we split the fruits equally with him, wouldn't it be the same as gifting the fruits to others? Don't tell me you expect them to resist?"
This female cultivator had delicate features and could be considered quite beautiful. However, the expression on her face caused Qin Wentian to feel a sense of loathing.
He grabbed a few Stellar Fruits and passed them to Qian Mengyu, "Don't worry, I won't implicate your Greencloud Pavilion. Take these fruits as a gift from me."
After which, he shifted his gaze onto the other three as he coldly stated, "Since you guys like to split the fruits so clearly, why should I give them to you? If you want to snatch them away, I'm more than happy to oblige."
Qin Wentian held Mo Qingcheng's hand and walked away. Obviously, he was also angered.
"You, you ungrateful thing, if it weren't for us, would you still be alive?" The woman's eyes flashed with killing intent as she pointed a finger at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian was too impudent.
"Shut up." Qin Wentian scolded and said coldly, "When we were besieged, the two of us attracted the pursuit of five experts. Didn't we solve the problem ourselves? When did we need your protection?"
"Hehe, Brother Qin, let's put your business aside for now. I'll introduce you to our alliance. Are you going to hand over the Star Fruits?" Yi Xiang said coldly. Once they saw a treasure, these people couldn't wait any longer. After all, no one knew what would happen in the Celestial Pool Trial.
Qin Wentian glanced at Ouyang Kuangsheng. No one dared to cause trouble for him, and not only that, Ouyang Kuangsheng had obtained so many Star Fruits. These people all treated him like a soft persimmon, easy to bully.
"You're thinking too much." Qin Wentian glanced at Yi Xiang, before bringing Mo Qingcheng along as they advanced.
"Hehe, hand over all the Star Fruits you guys have." Beside Mu Baifei, a Swallow Swordsman walked out, staring at those from the Greencloud Pavilion as well as Qin Wentian as he calmly stated. His eyes shone with an innate arrogance, as though he had no one in his eyes.
"Let's go." Qin Wentian held onto Mo Qingcheng's hand as he sprinted forwards. He didn't want to waste time with these people.
"Let's go too." Qian Mengyu also spoke, as they sprinted forwards as well. The Swallow Swordsman coldly laughed, as the rest of the Swallow Swordsman chased after him.
Ouyang Kuangsheng stood there, an expression of interest on his face. He had heard that the appearance of the Stellar Fruits in the Celestial Pool Trial would always incite conflict. In the eyes of everyone, the Stellar Fruits were treasures, but wasn't their existence a calamity? Maybe, it was a test in itself.
Turning his head, Ouyang Kuangsheng saw several silhouettes sprinting over. He saw those from the Beast King Hall, Skydemon Sect, and even those from the Wang Clan of the War Continent.
"Ouyang Kuangsheng." Those from the Wang Clan halted their steps, only to see Wang Xiao glancing at Ouyang Kuangsheng. After which, a sharp glint of light flashed in his eyes as he asked, "You obtained the Stellar Fruits?"
Ouyang Kuangsheng glanced at Wang Xiao. He knew that when this fellow went crazy, everyone would have to be wary of him. His lips curled into a cold smile as he sprinted forwards as well.
Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng were at the very front, but very quickly, their countenances turned unsightly. In front of them, there was a gigantic mountain rampart that pierced through the clouds. It was unknown how tall it was, but there was only a single path in the middle of it.
However, at this moment, a terrifying suction force emanated from that path, as a hurricane that could tear space apart howled in rage.
Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng halted their steps, as their countenances turned unsightly as they stared at the rampart in front of them.
"Take this, be careful." Qin Wentian retrieved a few Stellar Fruits and stuffed them into Mo Qingcheng's hands. Mo Qingcheng lightly nodded her head, and the two of them turned, only to see a cloud of dust in the distance. The first to arrive were those from the Clear Jade Pavilion, and when they saw the silhouettes in the distance, their countenances turned unsightly as well.
There was actually a rampart here. If that was the case, it would be unavoidable for the experts who arrived here to clash against each other. And since they possessed the Stellar Fruits, they would be the first to suffer the impact.
Mu Baifei and the rest had arrived. However, they weren't in a hurry to act. They had also discovered that there were people running towards them from behind, and not too long later, many experts had already arrived at the rampart of the Towering Mountain.
Ouyang Kuangsheng glanced at the crowd before shifting his gaze onto Qin Wentian. This was all Qin Wentian's fault. If he hadn't taken the Yellow Springs Monument away, none of these people would have been able to reach this point.
"Qian Mengyu from the Greencloud Pavilion, hand that item over." Mu Baifei took a step forward as he stared at Qian Mengyu. His voice contained a faint hint of arrogance, and the two Swallow Swordsmen beside him simultaneously stepped out. An intense surge of sword intent gushed forth, gushing towards the four from the Greencloud Pavilion.
"We'll only know after we try." Qian Mengyu's countenance was extremely unsightly to behold.
Mu Baifei and the other two continued forward, their sword Qi growing even stronger. After which, they released their Astral Souls as a resplendent sword intent permeated the air.
The Swallow Swordsmen all had sword-type Astral Souls. However, there were differences in their sword-type Astral Souls, because the Astral Souls they condensed were all different.
The three of them advanced shoulder to shoulder, and with a single point of their fingers, millions upon millions of sharp swords whistled through the air, exterminating everything in their path. A terrifying sword tempest could be felt, slaying anyone who obstructed their path.
"What a powerful sword Qi." The crowd was stunned. A sword also appeared in Qian Mengyu's hands. She was proficient in the Nine Swords of Life.
Her sword danced in the air, growing and multiplying endlessly as it slashed out. At the same time, the female cultivator beside her also launched her own attack, clashing against the terrifying sword tempest.
"Swish, swish, swish …" The sound of intense sword Qi whistling through the air was exceptionally ear-piercing, as the entire battlefield was enveloped by a tempest. The three Swallow Swordsmen continued advancing, and with every step they took, boundless sword Qi would radiate from their bodies. Their fingers unceasingly stabbed out, and the terrifying sword intent they exuded seemed to be stacking on top of each other, growing stronger and stronger.
Qin Wentian silently mused in his heart, as expected of swordsmen from transcendent powers. Any one of these three Swallow Swordsmen would be able to dominate the entire Jun Lin Banquet in Chu. In fact, they were even stronger compared to him when he participated in the Jun Lin Banquet back then. But now, Qin Wentian didn't feel that he was weaker than them.
The Qin Wentian now was many times stronger compared to the him during the Jun Lin Banquet.
"Brother Qin, you've also seen the strength of the Swallow Swordsmen. A wise man submits to circumstances, it's not too late to hand them over now." Yi Xiang walked to the side of Qin Wentian, as he spoke in a low voice, as though he was a vile character.
Qin Wentian swept a glance at Yi Xiang, as he spat out a single word, "Scram."
Yi Xiang's countenance sank, as his countenance turned sinister. He stared at Qin Wentian, before shifting his gaze onto Mo Qingcheng. "Brother Qin, it's fine if you die, but don't implicate Mo Qingcheng."
Qin Wentian stared at Yi Xiang, and upon seeing his countenance, a sharp glint of coldness flickered in his eyes, causing Yi Xiang to feel a sense of dread. That gentle youth, when frowning in anger, actually gave off a formless pressure.
"We'll hand them over." And at this moment, on the other side of the battlefield, Qian Mengyu and her companions were forced into a corner by the three Swallow Swordsmen. They had no way to retreat, as the Sword Qi grew stronger and stronger. They could only agree to hand over the Stellar Fruits.
"Puchi." Fresh blood splattered as one of the Swallow Swordsmen behind Qian Mengyu was pierced through by the sword light, dying on the spot. This caused Qian Mengyu's countenance to stiffen, as her countenance turned incomparably ugly to behold.
At the same time, the Sword Qi dissipated as Mu Baifei calmly stated, "If you knew this would happen, why did you resist?"
His voice was still filled with arrogance as he stretched out his hands towards Qian Mengyu.
Qian Mengyu's countenance turned ashen as she retrieved all the Stellar Fruits in her possession, tossing them over to Mu Baifei. Only then did those who arrived later understood that this was a competition for the Stellar Fruits.
"I don't think there's only this much." Mu Baifei calmly stated. After which, the female Swallow Swordsmen beside Qian Mengyu pointed to Qin Wentian. "The rest are in his hands, while the rest of the Stellar Fruits are with Ouyang Kuangsheng. If you have the ability, go ahead and take them."
Qin Wentian furrowed his brows, only to see Mu Baifei turning his gaze towards him as he calmly stated, "Where are the Stellar Fruits?"
His gaze was still filled with arrogance. He wanted all of the Stellar Fruits, if not, there wouldn't even be enough for them to split amongst themselves.
"Hehe, Brother Qin, if you really infuriate Brother Mu, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep your life." Yi Xiang continued, as though he was a fox borrowing the tiger's might.
"Do you believe that I won't take your life first?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with a demonic light. His calm voice caused Yi Xiang's countenance to stiffen, as his countenance grew increasingly unsightly.
"He should have quite a few Stellar Fruits on him, you guys can split them amongst yourselves." Mu Baifei spoke to his followers, causing their eyes to flicker with a bright light.
Evidently, Mu Baifei knew that in this situation, he wasn't the only one who wanted the Stellar Fruits. There were other transcendent powers as well. If it was just the three of them, it would be impossible for them to monopolize the Stellar Fruits.
Not only that, based on their arrogance, they wouldn't stoop so low as to kill a nameless nobody. Qin Wentian seemed to be a follower of the Greencloud Pavilion.
