During these days, Qin Wentian quietly cultivated, keeping a low profile. After the previous experience of being assassinated, he knew that even if there were people who wanted him dead in the dark, the Emperor Star Academy wouldn't be able to find out who it was that wanted him dead.
Nine Mystical Palace? Royal Clan? Ye Clan? Or Ou Clan?
There was no way to investigate. That shadowy figure who almost killed Qin Wentian was killed on the spot, and all the clues were cut off.
To Qin Wentian, the most important thing now was still to cultivate.
In the courtyard, Qin Wentian opened his eyes, exuding a demonic aura. Now that he had condensed an innate link with the Demon Sovereign Constellation, the Astral Energy he absorbed from the constellation contained a powerful demonic Qi. This allowed him to better cultivate the Fiend Transformation Art.
"Boss." Fan Le walked over. Qin Wentian stared at him as he asked, "Not going to cultivate again?"
"Teacher Mustang wants to lead some disciples to clear a street. Do you want to go?" Fan Le asked Qin Wentian.
"Clear a street?" Qin Wentian's countenance stiffened.
"Yes, recently our Emperor Star Academy has been besieged from all sides. The influence of the Royal Clan has already extended to our academy. Before this, because of the Azure Emperor Palace, the academy could only endure silently. But now, Teacher can no longer sit still and wants to launch a sneak attack, wiping out all the people on Sake Street." Fan Le explained.
"The Royal Clan dares to be so audacious to act so recklessly in the vicinity of our Emperor Star Academy?" Qin Wentian's countenance stiffened.
"That's because they have a few extremely powerful characters with them. I have no idea where they came from, but each of them is in charge of a district. Our Emperor Star Academy doesn't dare to act recklessly. Teacher said that these people might be from the Nine Mystical Palace, and they want to force our academy into a corner." Fan Le replied. Qin Wentian stood up, "I'll go with you guys."
"Mhm, don't worry. Teacher has tacitly agreed for me to come. He said that this operation is to teach the Royal Clan a lesson." Fan Le grinned, filled with anticipation. Most probably, the higher-ups of the academy would be participating in this operation.
Qin Wentian and the rest quickly gathered at a certain location in the Emperor Star Academy. Mustang gazed at them as he commanded, "Let's split up and meet up at Clear River Street. Wentian, you and I will be together."
"Alright." Everyone nodded. After which, they left one after another. This way, they wouldn't attract attention in a short period of time.
On Sake Street, Ye Wuque, who was drinking, glanced downwards as a look of confusion appeared on his face.
"The number of people coming here seems to be quite frequent."
Beside him, Ye Ran and Elder You squinted their eyes slightly. They seemed to have sensed something unusual as well.
"Spread the news, those from the Emperor Star Academy have arrived." Ye WuQue gazed at the inn as he spoke. Very quickly, the entire Qinghe Street became lively. Some of the people who were drinking quietly hid in the inn, not daring to cause any trouble. They could only watch from the sidelines.
Diagonally across from Ye Wuque's inn, a group of people appeared, causing Ye Wuque and Sikong Mingyue's expressions to freeze.
"Mustang, Qin Wentian."
"Indeed, Qin Wentian's injuries have long since healed. Just like what the news said, after disappearing for two months, he has appeared once again."
A sharp light flashed in Sikong Mingyue's eyes, piercing towards Qin Wentian. However, Qin Wentian didn't even spare a glance in his direction, causing Sikong Mingyue to coldly laugh in his heart.
Silhouettes unceasingly walked out from the inn, and very swiftly, on the street between the two rows of inns, a scene of a confrontation between two parties. A powerful battle intent permeated the air.
"KILL!" A low voice abruptly rang out as both parties clashed. The weakest among them had a cultivation base at the 7th level of Arterial Circulation, while the stronger ones had a cultivation base at the 2nd level of Yuanfu. Without wasting any time, they directly started the battle. Upon seeing such a scene, Qin Wentian understood that the situation had already reached a point where only one side could survive.
"Senior Sister Luo Huan has also stepped into Yuanfu." Qin Wentian stared at Luo Huan, who was like a goddess of death, mercilessly reaping the lives of her opponents. In her heart, an intense killing intent burned.
"Wuque." Ye Ran's gaze shifted to Ye Wuque. For this battle, it was evident that his opponents had come prepared, and held the advantage. Although more and more experts were rushing over from afar, the Emperor Star Academy was also sending in more experts to join the fray.
"BOOM!" On the rooftop of an inn, the silhouette of an expert descended as a terrifying aura permeated the air. This person was clad in black robes, and he stared downwards with an intense killing intent.
However, after he appeared, another silhouette appeared at the rooftop of the inn opposite him. That silhouette calmly stood there, yet he gave off a feeling of immense power.
The two of them didn't move, and only stared at each other. Evidently, they could feel the threat emanating from each other.
Cracking sounds rang out, and the inn beneath their feet seemed to be unable to withstand that oppressive aura. Gradually, cracks appeared on the walls of the inn before it collapsed, transforming into rubble. However, they still stood there, incomparably calm.
The terrifying aura gushed forth, causing a terrifying gust of cold wind to blow.
"BOOM!" That black-robed expert took a step forward, punching out with a simple punch, causing a black-colored tempest to manifest in the air. However, that old man still stood there calmly, his long white beard fluttering in the wind. At the instant the black-robed expert neared, a palm imprint blasted out. The instant this palm imprint blasted out, tens of thousands of palm imprints suppressed the Heavens and Earth, while the terrifying black-colored tempest also erupted forth.
The terrifying destructive qi wreaked havoc in the surroundings, causing numerous inns to collapse. The entire street was on the verge of being destroyed, and many of the spectators retreated far away as they stared at the ruins, their hearts trembling with fear.
"An expert at the upper 3 levels of Yuanfu. This time around, both sides are really going to fight for real." The hearts of the spectators trembled. Demonic beasts danced in the air, and from afar, more and more experts rushed over. Not only from the Royal Academy, even those from the Emperor Star Academy were madly rushing over.
A small-scale battle seemed to have caused a chain reaction, gradually turning this place into a battlefield.
The inn Ye Wuque was in didn't collapse. His gaze was sharp as he stared in the direction of Mustang. Sipping on a cup of wine, he coldly stated, "Mustang, are you trying to start a war?"
Qin Wentian slowly shifted his gaze onto Ye Wuque. He had long since heard of Ye Wuque's name. That was more than a year ago. The reason why he broke off the engagement with Autumn Snow was because the Ye Clan had used Ye Wuque's name to propose a marriage to Autumn Snow.
After that, he had met Ye Wuque a few more times. This person was indifferent in handling matters, and from that indifferent attitude, one could see the pride in his heart.
Mustang didn't bother with Ye Wuque. Although Ye Wuque was powerful, according to seniority, he could still be considered a junior. Since Ye Wuque spoke to him in such a manner, there was no need for Mustang to bother with him.
"You sure know how to act." Ye Ran lightly laughed, as he stated to Ye Wuque, "Wuque, based on your cultivation base at the 2nd level of Yuanfu, I'm afraid that Elder from the Emperor Star Academy won't be your opponent in a short period of time."
The Elder he was referring to was naturally Mustang. However, upon hearing that Ye Wuque had already stepped into the 2nd level of Yuanfu, Qin Wentian was somewhat taken aback.
"Compete with him?" Ye Wuque laughed as he glanced at Mustang. "There's no meaning to it."
"Indeed, there's no meaning to it. You are an entire generation lower than him." Ye Ran's words contained hints of flattery. After all, in the Ye Clan, Ye Wuque's status was extraordinary. As an Elder from a branch family, his authority couldn't be compared to Ye Wuque's. Especially now that Ye Wuque's cultivation base wasn't any weaker than his.
Mustang casually laughed, as he stared at Qin Wentian, feeling gratified in his heart. Mustang had the Heavenly Eyes Astral Soul, and could naturally tell that Qin Wentian had already broken through to Yuanfu.
Back then, when Qin Wentian was at the Arterial Circulation Realm, he had always been able to fight against geniuses like Sikong Mingyue and Luo Qianqiu. Now that he had stepped into Yuanfu, even if he couldn't contend against Ye Wuque for now, based on Qin Wentian's experience, it wouldn't be long before he could trample Ye Wuque beneath his feet.
As for Sikong Mingyue, he had already been completely ignored by Mustang.
"I'm already old, and my achievements are limited. However, Wentian, you are different. Don't put these self-proclaimed geniuses of Chu in your eyes, just treat them as ordinary mortals. You have to broaden your horizons, don't limit yourself to comparing yourself to these people."
Mustang spoke to Qin Wentian, as though he was instructing Qin Wentian. However, wasn't it also a reply to Ye Wuque? He was telling Qin Wentian not to compare himself to these people. Evidently, he was saying that Ye Wuque and the others didn't have the qualifications to compare themselves to Qin Wentian.
And indeed, upon hearing Mustang's words, Ye Wuque's indifferent eyes narrowed, as a glint of sharpness flickered within. As for Ye Ran, he directly stared at Mustang as he coldly stated, "What a joke."
"Time passes so quickly. Back then when I went to the Sky Harmony City, you had just started your cultivation journey. At that time, the Ye Clan went to the Bai Clan to propose marriage. Actually, I had already noticed you that night when you were still at the Bai Clan, and followed you to the Qin Clan. Now that you've already reached such a level, it feels so surreal. The Bai Clan must be regretting their decision now, right?"
Mustang sighed. Hearing Mustang's tone, Qin Wentian could sense a hint of sadness. He suddenly thought that maybe Teacher Mustang wanted to seek revenge on the Ye Clan.
Mountain was raised by Teacher Mustang, and Mustang naturally knew about the matter of him being intercepted by Ye Wuque when he was pursuing Qin Wentian.
As he thought of this, Qin Wentian's heart trembled. Today, Teacher Mustang wanted to kill Ye Wuque.
Yes, that must be the case. Teacher Mustang must have come for Ye Wuque.
As he thought of the deaths of Mountain and Zi Jun, Qin Wentian's gaze gradually sharpened.
The intensity of the battle grew increasingly intense, as more and more experts rushed over. The small-scale battle had already escalated into a large-scale battle. Not only that, Qin Wentian noticed that Xiao Lan and the rest had also arrived.
Xiao Lu, Wu Chong, Wang Teng, and the rest were all here.
As for the people on the streets, they all hurriedly retreated further away, in case they were caught in the crossfire.
Only to see Sikong Mingyue slowly standing up, as he stood in the air. This undoubtedly proved that he had already broken through to Yuanfu.
A terrifying killing intent erupted forth from Sikong Mingyue, as he pointed his finger at Qin Wentian. "Qin Wentian, get the hell out here and fight me."
