In the Royal Palace of Chu, a storm was brewing. The hearts of the people trembled as they felt the terrifying pressure of the black clouds looming over the city.
The Qin Clan's troops broke through the defenses of many cities, advancing at a frenzied pace. Just as the Chu Country's troops were about to move, the Qin Clan's troops would suddenly change their route and advance towards another city. Not only that, the troops that broke through the encirclement of the Qin Clan were all elites, and their speed was extremely fast, causing the defenses of the Chu Country to be filled with flaws.
Such a domineering attitude caused the people of Chu to truly feel the might of the Qin Clan, which had been in seclusion for so many years. The people of Chu faintly understood why the Royal Clan was so insistent on making a move against the Qin Clan in the Sky Harmony City. Maybe, they had long sensed it. The struggle for power was always so cold and complicated, filled with schemes and trickery. Even Qin Hao himself didn't hesitate to risk his life.
Finally, the Royal Clan of Chu gave the order to relax their defenses. The troops that were stationed in the Royal City were all retreated, while the elite troops were mobilized to the Royal Capital to guard the last line of defense. At the same time, the other troops were to be prepared to counterattack at any time. This was undoubtedly the declaration of the decisive battle between the two sides. Since the Qin Clan had sent all their forces to advance towards the Royal Capital, the Royal Clan would naturally clash with the Qin Clan in the Royal Capital.
The entire Chu Dragon Guards went into a frenzy, as the elite troops all rushed towards the Royal Capital.
For a period of time, the situation in the Royal Capital attracted the attention of countless people in Chu. This struggle for power, how would the ending be? At this moment, the confidence that the people of Chu had in the Royal Clan was no longer as strong as before. In fact, there were even some who suspected that the Chu Clan, which had existed for over 3,000 years, would fall this time.
Even before Qin Wentian stepped into the Royal Capital, he had already received all sorts of news. Hence, he disguised himself and snuck into the Divine Weapon Pavilion. An Liuyan's attitude towards him had always been very good, and she didn't really like the Royal Clan. In the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he already had extraordinary authority.
Naturally, his arrival at the Divine Weapon Pavilion was a secret, and he didn't reveal it to anyone. After seven days of closed-door seclusion, Qin Wentian utilized the immense manpower and resources of the Divine Weapon Pavilion to forge Divine Weapons. The hearts of the grandmasters were all filled with waves of shock, they had never seen someone inscribing Divine Imprints in such a frenzied manner. It was as though the entire Divine Weapon Pavilion revolved around him.
Qin Wentian naturally wouldn't let the Divine Weapon Pavilion suffer a loss. After frenziedly forging Divine Weapons, he left behind many treasures for the Divine Weapon Pavilion. There were even some precious third-ranked Divine Weapons. At the same time, An Liuyan contacted the Sky Transport Network, one of the three largest Markets in Chu. After paying a huge sum of money, they were allowed to transport Divine Weapons out of the Royal Capital.
Everything was carried out in secret. Of course, this time around, the Sky Transport Network and the Divine Weapon Pavilion had reaped great benefits. In times of chaos, it was easier for them to maximize their benefits.
The Royal Clan finally sensed that something was amiss, but it was already too late. The Sky Transport Network had already transported the Divine Weapons away, and Qin Wentian had also left the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Now that the Royal Clan was already in a precarious situation, how would they dare to vent their anger on the Divine Weapon Pavilion and the Sky Transport Network?
After receiving the Divine Weapons transported by the Sky Transport Network, the elites of the Qin Clan were like tigers that had grown wings. They madly advanced forward, and finally, all the elites of the Qin Clan were stationed outside the Royal Capital.
On top of the city walls, a row of experts stood shoulder to shoulder. The current Emperor of Chu, Chu Tianjiao, stood atop the city walls, gazing into the distance. The number of experts stationed outside the Royal Capital was so vast that one couldn't see the end of them with a single glance. They were sharpening their blades, and their eyes were filled with a fiery light. That was a kind of fanaticism, a fanaticism for power, a fanaticism for revenge.
As long as they could take down the last city, the Chu Country would have a new ruler.
"Have you found Qin Wentian?" Chu Tianjiao calmly asked, no one could tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Not yet." Someone behind him bowed as he replied, "We've already monitored the movements of the Sky Transport Network and the Divine Weapon Pavilion. If Qin Wentian appears again, we'll definitely capture him."
"Announce the news, three days later, Mustang will be executed in the Chu Emperor District. Luo Huan will be given to Qiu Mo." Chu Tianjiao calmly stated. The person behind him respectfully replied, "I'll handle it immediately."
After which, the person bowed and retreated, departing the area. It seemed like the Emperor was forced into a corner. Who would have thought that Qin Wentian, who was wanted by the Royal Clan, would actually give such a huge gift to the troops of the Qin Clan? This was extremely disadvantageous to the Royal Clan.
Very quickly, the news spread throughout the Royal Capital. Three days later, at the place where Qin Wentian's name shook the entire Chu Country, the Royal Clan would execute Qin Wentian's master, Mustang, and also give Luo Huan to Qiu Mo.
This news caused Qiu Mo to be extremely unhappy. His reputation had been completely ruined, but when he thought of Luo Huan, he decided that after this matter was concluded, he would leave Chu.
… …
In the bamboo hut, the flowing river water was quiet and serene.
Qin Wentian sat by the riverside, as Mo Qingcheng quietly sat beside him. Naturally, she had also received the news, and was extremely unhappy with Qin Wentian in her heart. Chu Tianjiao actually dared to use Mustang and Luo Huan to threaten Qin Wentian. From this, one could see how unscrupulous Chu Tianjiao was. Such a Royal Clan of Chu was truly on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, Qin Wentian stood up and walked back, arriving at the grass hut. Here, a veiled maiden quietly sat there, as though she had always been here.
Upon seeing Qin Wentian walking over, she inclined her head, as her limpid eyes stared at Qin Wentian. However, she gave off an aura of coldness.
Qin Wentian had always known that there would be such a character following him. Even when he entered the Dark Forest, she was still as clean and elegant as ever. This caused Qin Wentian to speculate, how strong was she exactly?
"Fairy Qingmei sent you here?" Qin Wentian stared at her as he asked in a low voice. The maiden only stared at him, not saying a word.
Qin Wentian saw the helplessness in her eyes as he asked again, "In the past, weren't you always protecting me in the shadows? Why are you so close to me now?"
That pair of eyes continued to stare at him, yet she remained silent.
"Sorry for disturbing you." Qin Wentian turned and departed.
"There are many people watching this place, I have to ensure your safety." A melodious voice rang out. Qin Wentian turned his head, and a smile appeared on his face as he stared at that pair of beautiful eyes.
"In that case, will you help me deal with the others?" Qin Wentian asked.
The maiden lightly shook her head. Qin Wentian still exuded a cold and unapproachable feeling.
"Okay." Qin Wentian laughed, "My name is Qin Wentian, what about you?"
The eyelashes of the maiden flickered, as though she was considering for a moment. After which, she inclined her head and stared at Qin Wentian, "Qing 'er."
"What a nice name." Qin Wentian smiled at Qing 'er before turning and departing.
Mo Qingcheng, upon seeing Qin Wentian walking over, teased, "Who do you think is more beautiful, her or me?"
Qin Wentian's eyes flickered. When he and Mo Qingcheng were in the Celestial Lake Palace, they had both seen Qing 'er's original appearance. Her beauty was breathtaking. Qing' er's beauty was different from Mo Qingcheng's. Mo Qingcheng's beauty was graceful, gentle, and filled with youthful vitality. Qing 'er's beauty was more refined, Cold, like a celestial maiden in the mortal world.
"Are you jealous?" Qin Wentian laughed.
"Hmph." Mo Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Qin Wentian. However, seeing that Qin Wentian's mood had improved, she was also happy.
At this moment, not far away, a figure slowly walked over to Qin Wentian's side.
"How is it?" Qin Wentian calmly asked.
"Quite a few people are willing to participate. The pavilion lord wants me to ask you, how many people do you want to hire?" the other party asked.
"How strong are the people we can hire?" Qin Wentian asked again.
"Based on the value of the Divine Weapon you inscribed, we should be able to contact about twenty mid-tier Yuanfu cultivators."
"Twenty then. Thirty low-tier Yuanfu cultivators. First, I'll give them a low-tier, third-ranked Divine Weapon and let them choose freely. The Divine Weapon Pavilion will pay for them on my behalf. There shouldn't be any problems, right?" Qin Wentian asked in a low voice.
"We will arrange it." That person nodded his head. "Do you have any other instructions?"
"Borrow the power of the intelligence network. Regardless of the cost, help me find out the movements of the important figures of the Chu Royal Clan, including their meals and daily activities." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice.
"Okay. Every once in a while, there will be people reporting to me. Also, the movements here are all under our control. If there are any movements, we will immediately send someone to inform you to evacuate and prepare a new location."
Qin Wentian nodded his head. He knew that a terrifying net had already been weaved here. This was also what Qing 'er had said earlier. There were many people watching this place.
"I'll take my leave first." That person bowed and retreated. Although his countenance was calm, his heart was filled with shock. This was the most outstanding Divine Inscriptionist in the history of Chu. Using his talent in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions, he obtained the support of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
This time around, no one knew how the storm in Chu would develop. This was a gamble filled with uncertainties.
… …
In the blink of an eye, the three days Chu Tianjiao spoke of arrived.
Today, the Chu Emperor District was garrisoned with a large number of soldiers. Not only that, some of these ordinary characters were actually extremely tyrannical.
On the battle platform below the Azure Jadeite Dragon Throne, Mustang was tied up. His robes were dyed red with fresh blood, and his hair was incomparably disheveled. Evidently, he had suffered a lot in the past few days.
Luo Huan was also extremely haggard. Her face was still adorned with a seductive smile, and when her gaze swept past Qiu Mo, Qiu Mo couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
"Very soon, you will be mine." Qiu Mo stared at Luo Huan's voluptuous breasts, the lust and lust in his eyes unmasked. Now that his reputation in Chu had been completely ruined, he became even more brazen and unbridled, revealing his malevolent face.
Luo Huan laughed, a laugh that caused Qiu Mo to feel a piercing pain in his bones.
"Qiu Mo, do you believe that you will die miserably?" Luo Huan giggled. Qiu Mo coldly snorted, "You are truly stubborn. Tonight, I will let you taste the 'benefits' of being stubborn."
Staring at Luo Huan's alluring figure, Qiu Mo's heart pounded.
"Why isn't his Majesty here yet?" Qiu Mo's gaze shifted in the direction of the Azure Jadeite Dragon Throne. Today, why wasn't Chu Tianjiao here?
At this moment, Qiu Mo discovered that several people were starting to stir. These people were all experts that he had arranged to ensure that Qin Wentian wouldn't be able to escape even if he grew wings.
"The troops of the Qin Clan are attacking the city." A voice drifted into Qiu Mo's ears, causing him to be stunned. The timing of the Qin Clan's attack was so accurate?
Outside the Royal Capital, the sounds of battle shook the heavens. The people in the Royal Capital could feel a terrifying pressure permeating the atmosphere. There were even some Yuanfu cultivators that directly soared through the air, killing their way into the Royal Capital.
The army outside the city had launched the toughest attack on the Chu Kingdom's Imperial City!
