The armored horses galloped on the ground, moving in the direction of Qin Wentian and the Emperor Star Academy. Ye Mo didn't move, his gaze was fixated on Mustang. Since these people represented their own positions, there was no need for him to be polite.
Qin Wentian glanced at his surroundings. The people brought by Ye Mo were still gathering here, but the Emperor Star Academy only had ten plus Wu Xiu. Not only that, they were all so young. This battle was going to be extremely difficult.
"Mountain." The seductive lady beside Qin Wentian called out. Momentarily, a tall and sturdy silhouette dashed out, releasing his Astral Souls. Two Astral Souls appeared above his head. The first Astral Soul was that of a demonic ape, exuding a terrifying aura of violence, as though it was alive. The second Astral Soul was that of a stone golem.
"With such a combination of Astral Souls, how strong would his defense be?" Qin Wentian's eyes narrowed. The Demonic Ape Astral Soul and the Stone Golem Astral Soul were definitely a combination of supremely strong defense. Not only that, their attack power would also be extremely strong. Those who had the talent to condense multiple Astral Souls would have to carefully consider the combination of their Astral Souls.
"Earth Explosion." The young man known as Mountain ruthlessly punched the ground with both his fists. Momentarily, a terrifying torrent of energy gushed forth, causing the earth to split apart, creating a deep crater as the warhorses neighed.
However, there were still warhorses galloping past him, directly dashing towards Mountain. Mountain's legs trembled as he stood upright like a mountain.
Long spears whistled through the air, piercing towards Mountain. However, Mountain's hands simultaneously caught hold of the two incoming spears. The warhorses directly rammed into him, but the terrifying force of the impact didn't even cause him to budge.
"Indeed, what a fearsome defense." Qin Wentian's heart trembled. After which, he saw Mountain lifting up his spear and ruthlessly smashing it into the ground. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the warhorses were so frightened that they ran away on their own. This caused the formation of the Emperor Star Academy's troops to fall into chaos.
In other directions, battles also erupted. Qin Wentian saw a person with two sword-type Astral Souls, fusing them into one. His entire person radiated a terrifying sword Qi, and everywhere he passed by, blood splattered everywhere like rain.
They were all cultivators at the Arterial Circulation Realm with dual Astral Souls. The Emperor Star Academy wouldn't accept anyone who wasn't a genius.
However, Ye Mo had the advantage in numbers, and there were still some who managed to slip through the net and attack Qin Wentian's group. However, the woman beside Qin Wentian merely smiled as she abruptly lashed out with her palm. Qin Wentian only saw the shadow of a whip flashing past, and a moment later, the silhouette of the warhorse was directly lashed through the air, dying on the ground. That whip was as sharp as a sword, capable of killing with a single strike.
"Junior Brother, you need to leave this place." The woman's arm was hooked around Qin Wentian's neck, and her smiling face was only one step away from Qin Wentian, causing Qin Wentian to feel uneasy, and he secretly cursed her for being a vixen.
"Let's go. Your presence here will affect their battle." Luo Huan continued. Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly. He knew that with his current strength, he could only be considered a burden.
"Let's go." Qin Wentian decisively moved in the direction with the least number of people.
"Elder sister will protect you." Luo Huan followed behind, and the whip in her hand lashed out, instantly opening up a path in front of her.
"Yu Fei, help me cover my back."
"Right." The sword-wielding young man leapt into the air, landing behind Luo Huan. A few beams of sword light swept out, directly killing the pursuers.
Qin Wentian madly sprinted away, not even bothering to turn his head back to look at the battlefield. After seeing the strength of those from the Emperor Star Academy, he felt even more powerless. Regardless of Mountain or Yu Fei, no matter how many Body Refinement Realm cultivators there were, they wouldn't be a match for them. At the very least, only those at the Arterial Circulation Realm would be able to fight against them.
"Junior Brother, where are we going?" Luo Huan followed beside Qin Wentian, leisurely strolling in the park. She didn't even need to use the slightest bit of energy to maintain the same speed as him.
"Can Senior Mustang and the other Senior Brothers contend against those people?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Nope. Among us, other than Teacher who is at the Yuanfu Realm, the strongest among us is only at the 7th level of Arterial Circulation. Ye Mo is at the Yuanfu Realm, and there are still quite a number of Arterial Circulation Realm cultivators. Not only that, this isn't even their full strength. As long as another Yuanfu Realm cultivator appears, the situation would become completely one-sided. And once that happens, those from the Emperor Star Academy would immediately choose to retreat."
Although Luo Huan was sprinting, her words were extremely clear. She was very clear on how terrifying a Yuanfu Realm cultivator was. As long as another Yuanfu Realm cultivator appeared, regardless of how strong their combat prowess was, they would have no choice but to flee.
Qin Wentian lightly nodded his head as he replied, "Many thanks."
Evidently, these people appeared in the Sky Harmony City to save him. They were taking a huge risk.
Luo Huan giggled as she asked, "Where are we going now?"
"The Star River Association." Qin Wentian replied, causing a strange expression to appear on Luo Huan's face. She turned to Qin Wentian and asked, "Have you joined the Star River Association?"
"Nope, I'm acquainted with a Grandmaster Weaponsmith from the Star River Association. He promised me that I can temporarily hide there," Qin Wentian replied.
Luo Huan's charming eyes flickered, as though she was contemplating something. After which, she asked, "Can I not go?"
Qin Wentian stared at Luo Huan in bewilderment, before replying, "My family members might have gone there as well. Not only that, with the Sky Harmony City sealed, the Star River Association is the only place we can temporarily hide in."
Luo Huan didn't say anything more, and followed Qin Wentian as they madly sprinted in the direction of the Star River Association. By the time Qin Wentian arrived at the Star River Association, the effects of the acupuncture technique had already dissipated. An unprecedented fatigue invaded his body, causing Qin Wentian to feel like collapsing. But at this moment, he couldn't bear to do so.
Within the Star River Association, Qin Ye, Qin Yao, and the rest had indeed arrived. However, compared to the time when they broke through the encirclement, only half of their numbers remained. Those who had been sacrificed were all guards. Although the core members of the Qin Clan were still present, all of them had injuries all over their bodies.
"Wentian." Qin Ye and the rest, upon seeing Qin Wentian entering the Star River Association, immediately walked over.
"Is there any news of your second uncle?" Qin Ye asked.
Qin Wentian's countenance stiffened as he shook his head. Momentarily, the countenances of Qin Ye and Qin Shang turned exceptionally pale.
"Seems like my predictions were correct. The Qin Clan is indeed going to be destroyed." From the side, an ear-piercing voice drifted over. Momentarily, Qin Wentian shifted his gaze over, as his eyes narrowed.
Lin Yue was here today to retrieve the Divine Weapon. Upon seeing Qin Wentian and the rest in such a sorry state, she couldn't help but mock them.
Lifting his feet, Qin Wentian walked towards Lin Yue. His cold gaze was akin to a sharp blade, causing Lin Yue's countenance to stiffen. "Your clan is going to be destroyed, and you want to vent your anger on me?"
"Scram." Qin Wentian spat out a single word, causing Lin Yue's countenance to freeze. Scram? This stray dog actually dared to tell her to scram? But at this moment, the pressure that Qin Wentian gave her caused her to feel flustered.
"Grandmaster Francis." At this moment, Francis was walking over from afar. Lin Yue was instantly filled with joy as she ran over.
"Scram." Even before Lin Yue arrived at Francis's side, Francis coldly spat out, causing Lin Yue's steps to stiffen as her countenance abruptly paled.
Francis was currently in an extremely bad mood, and didn't have the time to bother with Lin Yue. He directly walked towards Qin Wentian as he spoke, "Young Master Wentian, you guys have arrived."
"Grandmaster Murin is currently in closed-door seclusion, and will be out shortly. Everyone, please take a rest in the great hall." Francis was extremely polite, causing Lin Yue's countenance to stiffen. Qin Wentian and the rest nodded their heads, as they sat at the side to rest. However, their hearts were incomparably heavy, and no one spoke. They didn't know what the current situation of the Qin Clan was.
"Scram, there's no need to look for me in the future." Francis indifferently spoke to Lin Yue, ignoring the look of humiliation in her eyes.
Many from the Star River Association were paying attention to the Qin Clan, as they sighed in their hearts. The Qin Clan that once shook the heavens and earth in the Chu Country was now on the verge of collapse, and was in a precarious situation. The members of the Qin Clan were also facing a desperate situation.
Time flowed by slowly, yet Murin still hadn't come out. Only until the sound of galloping horses could be heard from outside, as a group of riders stopped a hundred meters away from the Star River Association. It was none other than Ye Mo's subordinates. Not only that, Ye Mo directly brought his subordinates to the entrance of the Star River Association. Momentarily, the gazes of those from the Qin Clan clashed with each other, as a terrifying pressure permeated the air.
The sound of galloping horses continued unceasingly, as reinforcements from Ye Mo and his subordinates continued to arrive. Even Wu Xiu and Luo Feng had arrived.
Those from the Qin Clan all felt a heavy pressure bearing down on them.
"Everyone, sorry for the long wait." At this moment, a clear voice drifted over. Murin, the president of the Star River Association, as well as that haughty lady, walked over.
"Qin Wentian, have you considered the matter?" Murin smiled as he asked. His countenance was gentle, causing people to feel extremely comfortable.
"Matter?" Qin Wentian was startled.
"The matter of joining the Star River Association, and becoming my disciple."
"Grandmaster Murin, aren't you a guest elder?" A puzzled expression appeared on Qin Wentian's face.
"No, no … the president said that the Star River Association no longer needs guest elders. It's better for you to consider joining the Star River Association and becoming his disciple," Murin replied with a smile.
Luo Huan, who was standing beside Qin Wentian, narrowed her eyes into slits. At this moment, she roughly understood what was going on. She moved her mouth to Qin Wentian's ear as she whispered, "Do you have something in your hands that he wants? If you become a guest elder of the Star River Association, he won't be able to restrict you in any way. And once you join the Star River Association and become his disciple, you will have to do whatever he says."
Qin Wentian wasn't a fool, and neither were the members of the Qin Clan. At this moment, when they saw the gentle smile on Murin's face, they felt a chill run down their spines. That smile was akin to that of a venomous snake, causing them to shiver in fear.
Evidently, Murin had done this intentionally. He intentionally waited for Ye Mo to bring his men here, causing the Qin Clan to fall into a desperate situation before he stepped out. He wanted to give Qin Wentian no choice.
"What a sinister fellow." Francis cursed in his heart, his eyes filled with rage. He didn't think that he was a good person, but after interacting with Murin for a few days, he felt that he was too 'naive'. The reason why he was in a bad mood was because the 2nd-level Profound Inscription Qin Wentian had given him had been borrowed by Murin. Today, when he wanted to ask for it back, he was humiliated by Murin instead.
