Qin Wentian stared disdainfully at Chu Tianjiao. As the second ranked prodigy, there was no need to doubt his talent. However, the disparity between him and Chu Mang was too great. Chu Tianjiao had abandoned his cultivation because of a power struggle. After all, a person's energy was limited. Although Chu Mang was simple-minded, it was precisely because of this that his elder brother told him to put in more effort in his cultivation.
But even so, the spectators were all deeply shocked by Qin Wentian's tyrannical suppression. When they saw Chu Tianjiao using the Glazed Lamp to seal the space, they all thought that Qin Wentian was finished. However, could Qin Wentian really defeat Luo Qianqiu?
Maybe, in his battle with Luo Qianqiu, they had only seen the tip of the iceberg. Earlier, the demonic Qin Wentian was simply too terrifying. The spectators could no longer see through this youth. In fact, none of them had even seen what Qin Wentian's third Astral Soul was. Which Heavenly Layer did it originate from?
It was rumored that Qin Wentian's second Astral Soul was condensed from an Astral Soul from the 4th Heavenly Layer. What about his third Astral Soul? Was Qin Wentian intentionally concealing it? Was it because his Astral Souls were too powerful?
Nobody knew what Qin Wentian's third Astral Soul was. Maybe Qin Wentian could change the color of his Astral Soul, but because it was too famous, those who were more knowledgeable would still be able to tell that it was the number one Astral Soul in the Warbeast Index. That Astral Soul originated from the 5th Heavenly Layer, and was an Astral Soul that was exceedingly difficult to condense.
"Chu Tianjiao, you wanted to seal my path, but now, you've landed yourself in a hopeless situation. Have you ever thought that you would end up like this?" Qin Wentian stared at Chu Tianjiao as he spoke.
Chu Tianjiao wiped away the traces of blood at the corner of his mouth, as he stood up. A strange smile could be seen in his eyes.
"I've misjudged you. Not only me, the entire Chu Country, including your Grandpa Qin, have also misjudged you." Chu Tianjiao slowly continued, "Nobody would have thought that you would be able to reach this step in less than two years. I admit that back then, I, Chu Tianjiao, didn't pay enough attention to you. That was the only mistake I, Chu Tianjiao, made, a fatal mistake."
"Chu Tianjiao, don't you feel any shame at all? After killing the loyal and virtuous, you even used innocent girls to feed the dead." Qin Wentian coldly stated, staring at Chu Tianjiao's face.
"Naive." Chu Tianjiao coldly snorted, "Since the ancient times, the winner is the king, while the loser is the bandit. The throne was originally built from piles of bones, and as for the descendants of the loyal ones, are you talking about Qin Hao? Your impression of your Grandpa Qin is that of a benevolent old man. What a joke. If he was an ordinary old man, would he have allowed Icehawk to go undercover for so many years, and even participate in the siege of the Qin Manor? If he was an ordinary old man, would he be able to walk out of Black Castle and create such a storm? "
Chu Tianjiao sarcastically stared at Qin Wentian, "How much do you know about your Grandpa Qin? Do you know why he was so sure that I wouldn't dare to kill him? Why did he dare to put himself in danger? Do you know that even the Royal Palace I was in had to guard against the infiltration of Qin Hao's men? Do you know that my father's illness started after the death of Qin Wu, and coincidentally, he passed away in the midst of the chaos? Do you really think that this is a coincidence? My father is a Yuanfu cultivator, how could an illness defeat him? "
Chu Tianjiao's words caused Qin Wentian to furrow his brows. Chu Tianjiao's words were too terrifying. Even the Royal Palace had been infiltrated? Not only that, the death of the Emperor had something to do with Qin Hao?
Qin Wentian's gaze shifted to Qin Hao, who was standing outside the glass lamp, only to see Qin Hao clad in armor. His gaze was deep and calm, as though he had always been calm.
"If we're talking about the strength of our intelligence network, I'm afraid that even I, the Emperor of Chu, cannot compare to your Grandpa Qin." Chu Tianjiao sarcastically laughed.
"No matter what you say, you still have to pay back the blood debt you owe." Qin Wentian calmly stated. Even if it wasn't for the sake of the Qin Clan, for the sake of the Emperor Star Academy, for the sake of the students who had died, Chu Tianjiao had to die.
Chu Tianjiao laughed, "Since I've already lost, why should I fear death? I'm telling you all this not because I'm begging for my life. Today, I, Qin Wentian, have never submitted to anyone in my life. My elder brother Chu Wuwei is naturally intelligent, I half admire him. As for your Grandpa Qin Wu, I, Chu Tianjiao, regret that I wasn't able to witness his glory. Now that I've met you, Qin Wentian, I, Chu Tianjiao, truly admire you."
"You aren't as intelligent as Chu Wuwei, and you don't have Qin Wu's methods. Yet, you have an indomitable determination. No matter who the person in front of you is, no matter how powerful they are, your heart will never change. Such courage is admirable, and this is what I lack. Your talent in cultivation is truly shocking. I hope that you will be able to walk further down the path of the Emperor. Hand over the authority of the Emperor to Chu Wuwei, he is a 'good man' with no flaws."
Chu Tianjiao slowly spoke, before abruptly howling in rage. His palm imprinted onto the location of his own heart, causing a cracking sound to echo out. Chu Tianjiao stared at Qin Wentian as a smile appeared on his face. After which, he slowly closed his eyes.
An outstanding Heaven's Chosen of a generation, had chosen to commit suicide.
He was defeated by the current situation, he was defeated by Qin Wentian. To someone like him, if he lost, there was only death. He wasn't willing to struggle at death's door, nor was he willing to suffer any sort of humiliation or torture before dying. At the very least, he wanted to die with dignity.
The battles in the surroundings ceased. Countless people inclined their heads, staring at Chu Tianjiao as they felt a sense of sorrow in their hearts.
It's over, Chu Tianjiao has fallen.
The words he said before his death were also extremely thought-provoking.
Chu Tianjiao's death didn't cause Qin Wentian to feel too excited. He only felt a little more relaxed. At the very least, he had given Mountain and the Emperor Star Academy an explanation.
The battle for the throne of Chu had finally come to an end.
However, Qin Wentian's heart was heavy. What would happen next? Chu Wuwei or Qin Wu, who would rule Chu?
Just like what Chu Wuwei and Chu Tianjiao had said to him, the authority to decide was no longer in the hands of Qin Wu or Chu Wuwei, but rather, it was in the hands of him, Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's stance was the stance of the Emperor Star Academy. If he supported Chu Wuwei, the Emperor Star Academy would give up on the Qin Clan for him. His stance was also the stance of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and Greencloud Pavilion. These two powers could help Chu resolve the problem of the Nine Mystical Palace.
His stance was also the stance of the Heavenly Dipper Sovereign, Qing 'er.
The screen of light gradually dissipated as Chu Tianjiao's body fell from the skies. Chu Mang rushed over and caught hold of Chu Tianjiao before handing him over to Chu Wuwei.
Chu Wuwei hugged the corpse of his 3rd brother as he closed his eyes and silently sighed. The Royal Clan was heartless. Being born in the Royal Clan wasn't as fortunate as many people thought.
"Boom!"
A silhouette akin to a hurricane fell from the skies, ruthlessly slamming into the ground. This silhouette was none other than the Heavenly Dipper Sovereign from the Nine Mystical Palace.
"Cough cough." Coughing a few times, he inclined his head and stared at the descending figure of Qing 'er, as a deep sense of trepidation could be seen in his eyes.
Qing 'er's beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian, as though she was inquiring about Qin Wentian's stance.
"The matter of Chu is over. Those from the Nine Mystical Palace, scram now. Go back and tell those from the three great clans that in the future, they are not allowed to step into Chu for revenge. If not, let them be prepared to face the wrath of the Ouyang Clan." Ouyang Kuangsheng coldly stated. He spoke before Qin Wentian, not allowing Qin Wentian to be too ruthless.
He, Ouyang Kuangsheng, would be fine, but Qin Wentian still had to roam the Grand Xia Empire in the future. It was best not to offend the Nine Mystical Palace too much now.
If a transcendent power was determined to deal with Qin Wentian, Qin Wentian would be in an extremely difficult situation. Maybe in the future, a huge conflict would erupt between them, but at the very least, they had to leave some buffer time for Qin Wentian.
"As for the Greencloud Pavilion, from today onwards, the matters of Chu will have nothing to do with the Nine Mystical Palace. If you still want to interfere, my Greencloud Pavilion will remember this." Qian Mengyu also expressed her stance, causing the countenances of those from the Nine Mystical Palace to turn incomparably unsightly.
The Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns soared up into the air, waving their hands as a group of people departed.
Today, the Nine Mystical Palace could be considered to have fallen. They actually lost so much face in Chu. In the future, they would no longer have the face to return to Chu.
With the attitude of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and Greencloud Pavilion, the three great clans of the Nine Mystical Palace wouldn't stand up for the fallen Luo Qianqiu. However, Luo Tianya would definitely hate Qin Wentian. After all, the one who died was his son.
The Nine Mystical Palace had left, Chu Tianjiao had fallen, and the four blood-colored old men had also died under the encirclement of the Nine Mystical Palace. The situation here could be said to be completely under the control of the Nine Mystical Palace.
Now, it was time to settle the debts of the Chu Empire.
"Wentian." Qin Wu called out. Qin Wentian shifted his gaze onto Qin Wu, but at this moment, his state of mind was different. When he looked at Qin Wu, there was no longer the sense of closeness he had in the past. Instead, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
"Thanks to you, we managed to avenge our Qin Clan. Now, there's only the matter of the Ye Clan left. It's about time to settle it. Why don't I take control of the situation first?" Qin Wu smiled, appearing extremely calm.
However, Qin Wentian lightly shook his head, "Grandpa Qin, this place is already chaotic enough. According to the agreement we made before entering the Royal Capital, you should withdraw your troops to the outskirts of the Royal Capital first."
Qin Wentian's words caused Qin Wentian to freeze, while strange expressions appeared on the faces of many others. Was Qin Wentian hinting that he wanted Qin Wu to give up on the Royal Capital?
"Wentian, I'm still a little worried." Qin Wu continued, "I, Qin Wu, am not greedy for power and authority. Not only that, I'm already so old, I don't want to suffer the humiliation of the past. After we pacify Chu, let your father, Qin Chuan, inherit the throne. How about it?"
Qin Wentian froze for a moment, before shifting his gaze onto Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan glanced at his father, Qin Wu, before shifting his gaze onto Qin Wentian. Traces of a struggle could be seen in his eyes, but after which, he drew in a deep breath and gently smiled at Qin Wentian, "Wentian, father, I will respect your wishes."
Qin Wentian's gaze faltered for a moment before he smiled radiantly at Qin Chuan, "Thank you, father."
"Let me speak a few words with General Qin Wu alone." At this moment, Chu Mang led Chu Wuwei down from the rooftop, walking towards Qin Wu's side. After which, Chu Mang made an inviting gesture with his hands.
Qin Wu's brows furrowed as he followed Chu Wuwei to the side of a gigantic pillar.
"General Qin Wu, it's time to settle all the grudges between us. After I become the Emperor, I will bestow a few cities to the Qin Clan, allowing you to be at ease as an outsider. As for those who follow you, I won't touch a single one of them. I only hope that they will be able to defend the borders of Chu," Chu Wuwei stated in a low voice.
Qin Wu stared at him as he calmly replied, "I don't like to give the initiative to others."
"There are some things I don't wish to speak too clearly." Chu Wuwei calmly continued, "I also don't wish to affect your relationship with Qin Wentian. In the Royal Capital, there aren't many people who could kill Xiao Lan and the others. Gu He is one of them, he was the personal bodyguard of my third brother and was once a follower of my father. I really don't wish to suspect that he had anything to do with my father's death, but I still paid attention to him. When Xiao Lan died, he wasn't by my third brother's side."
"I also know one more thing. Gu He had once followed Qin Wu to the battlefield, and General Qin Wu had once saved his life." Chu Wuwei slowly spoke, his words causing Qin Wu's eyes to narrow.
