Swords drawn and bows bent, this was the perfect word to describe the situation Qin Wentian was currently facing.
Bailu You had also arrived, he was the one who brought these Grandmasters here. However, he had an ulterior motive, he didn't wish for Qin Wentian to hand over the ancient scroll. He only wanted to make Qin Wentian feel pressured.
When Qin Wentian couldn't withstand the pressure, he would naturally give Qin Wentian a chance.
Hence, Bailu You merely stood at the side, a cold smile curling his lips.
In such a situation, he wanted to see how Qin Wentian would handle it.
But at this moment, the sound of footsteps drifted over. Bailu You turned his head, only to see a group of people walking over. He couldn't help but be stunned, it was actually the Great Elder, Bailu Yi, Bailu Shan and Bailu Jing.
"This lass, did she think that by bringing the Great Elder here, she would be able to help Qin Wentian?"
Bailu You naturally knew that this was Bailu Yi's doing. He bowed slightly to the large-eyed Elder as he called out, "Great Elder."
"Mhm." The large-eyed Elder casually nodded his head, yet his heart was filled with bewilderment. Bailu Yi had told him that there would be a good show to watch here, hence, he decided to follow her here.
"Father."
Bailu You suddenly noticed Bailu Tong also walking over. Bailu Tong nodded his head lightly as he glanced at the large-eyed Elder. He knew that the Great Elder would be here, hence he decided to follow along.
He wouldn't allow Bailu Yi to spoil his plans.
The other Grandmasters didn't rush to speak. They remained silent for a moment, and upon seeing that the large-eyed Elder and Bailu Tong had no intention to speak, many thoughts flashed through their minds.
They weren't in a hurry, so Qin Wentian wasn't in a hurry as well. He simply stood there quietly.
However, with so many seniors trying to force him to abdicate, how could he not be in a good mood?
Finally, an old man with sunken eyes and a high nose bridge was the first to lose his cool. He stared at Qin Wentian with narrowed eyes akin to a venomous snake, causing Qin Wentian to feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Qin Wentian." This old man had a cultivation base at the seventh level of Yuanfu, and behind him were three guards at the ninth level of Yuanfu. His eyes narrowed as he coldly laughed, "You want us to come here personally to see you? This is the first time I've seen someone as arrogant as you. "
"Senior, you must be joking." Qin Wentian pointed at the path behind the old man and smiled.
What do you mean? "The other party stared at Qin Wentian.
"I didn't mean for Senior to come and see me. I think Senior must have misunderstood. The main road is there, Senior." Qin Wentian smiled and pointed to the road ahead. What he meant was obvious. "Senior, you must be joking. I didn't ask you to come to see me. You came to see me yourself. If you don't want to see me, the road is right there. Go ahead."
"You …" How could the other party not understand the meaning behind Qin Wentian's words? His sunken eyes deepened, and a cold glint burst forth from them.
"Sharp-tongued. You wanted us to come here, but now you want me to leave just like that? Isn't this too ridiculous? You overestimate yourself too much." The other party continued.
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with sharpness when he heard the other party's words. "Are you crazy?"
As the sound of Qin Wentian's voice faded, the expression of the old man stiffened. Did the other party just say that he was crazy in public?
Ever since he stepped into the ranks of fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptionists, he had never been humiliated before. Behind him, three silhouettes stepped out, exuding a terrifying aura as they gushed towards Qin Wentian.
As long as the old man gave the order, they would immediately act against Qin Wentian.
"I'll give you a chance to apologize." The countenance of the old man turned ice-cold, so cold that it pierced into the bones. It was still too early for the contest over the ancient scroll of the Ascendant, but now, he wanted an explanation from Qin Wentian.
"Seems like not only are you crazy, your sickness isn't light at all." The smile on Qin Wentian's face faded. His eyes swept over to the newcomers as his gaze gradually turned sharp.
How could he not be angered by these people? But since they were all Divine Inscriptionists, he might as well try to be polite before resorting to violence.
Since the other party wasn't going to be polite, what did he, Qin Wentian, have to fear?
"IMPUDENT!" The three of them roared in rage as they took a step forward. However, Qin Wentian only spoke, "If you take another step forward, I'll kill you."
As the sound of the word 'kill' faded, a bone-chilling killing intent gushed forth from Qin Wentian, causing the entire space to be filled with a bone-chilling killing intent.
The hearts of the three involuntarily shuddered when they saw Qin Wentian's gaze sweeping over. Even with their cultivation bases, they could feel a terrifying coldness from Qin Wentian's eyes. It was as though the sharpness of a blade was slicing through their minds, piercing into their bones.
As the sound of Qin Wentian's voice faded, the entire hillside instantly fell into silence.
A light breeze gusted by, causing the green grass on the ground to sway lightly.
Only to see Qin Wentian staring at the fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptionist. Each and every one of his gazes was akin to a cold blade, piercing into the eyes of the fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptionist.
"I've already given you face by addressing you as Senior, yet you don't know how to conduct yourself. Since you don't want to listen to my kind words, I, Qin, will repeat my intentions one more time." Qin Wentian coldly continued, "I, Qin Wentian, am cultivating here. You can come and go as you please. What does this have to do with me? Please don't use the tone of 'I invited you here' to speak to me. Firstly, I, Qin, am not your junior, and secondly, I have nothing to ask of you. Why would I invite you here? If you have nothing else to say, just scram. "
The domineering tone of Qin Wentian's words caused the people in the surroundings to be stunned, as their eyes flickered with uncertainty.
Arrogance, truly arrogance.
Although there was some logic in Qin Wentian's words, in this world, the strong reigned supreme. Who wouldn't respect a fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptionist? Yet he, Qin Wentian, directly told the Divine Inscriptionist that he was the one who came to see him, not the one who invited him here. If you have nothing else to say, just scram.
One could say that the words spoken by Qin Wentian had completely offended a fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptionist. Even if Qin Wentian was fine today, if a fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptionist wanted to deal with a Yuanfu cultivator like Qin Wentian, it would be too much for him to handle.
The large-eyed Elder was also baffled by Qin Wentian's words. Where did this little fellow's self-confidence come from?
Glancing at Bailu Yi beside him, Bailu Yi's beautiful eyes flickered with a strange light, as though she was at ease. Her confidence in Qin Wentian didn't seem to be any less than Qin Wentian himself.
Grandmaster Fenrir, on the other hand, had a smile on his face. He didn't say anything as he quietly watched the development unfold.
He also wanted to see how Qin Wentian would deal with the situation today.
As for the high-nosed Elder, his countenance turned extremely sinister after hearing Qin Wentian's words.
If there's nothing else, just scram?
Was this something a first-ranked Yuanfu cultivator would say to him?
If he took another step forward, he would die?
Where did his confidence come from?
Maybe, he had obtained the ancient scroll of the Ascendant, allowing him to inscribe top-tier third-ranked Divine Inscriptions as well as formations. However, with him here, did Qin Wentian really think that he could borrow the power of formations or Divine Inscriptions to kill his follower?
"Brother Liang, the temper of the youngsters these days is really bad." A black-faced middle-aged man laughed. Brother Liang was none other than the high-nosed Elder.
"If it wasn't for the fact that we are in the White Deer Institute, given Brother Liang's temper, he would have died ten times over." The black-faced middle-aged man continued. The high-nosed Elder narrowed his eyes. Regardless of whether they were in the White Deer Institute or not, why would they waste so much time talking nonsense with Qin Wentian? They would directly kill him and seize the ancient scroll.
But now, they all understood that since the White Deer Institute allowed them to enter, it meant that the White Deer Institute had yet to force Qin Wentian to hand over the ancient scroll. Similarly, the White Deer Institute wanted to use them to threaten Qin Wentian.
Hence, these people temporarily decided to wait and see. The high-nosed Elder surnamed Liang was the most impatient of them all. Hence, he took the initiative to make things difficult for Qin Wentian.
"Indeed, this brat doesn't respect his seniors, he should be punished for his rudeness."
Another person spoke. This person stroked his white beard, exuding an air of immortality. This old man was already over 150 years old and had immersed himself in the study of Divine Inscriptions for a long time. He had also stepped into the fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptionist realm for quite a few years and there were many who knew him in the Moon Continent. Many Divine Inscriptionists had received his guidance before. Hence, this old man was someone of virtue and prestige.
"That's what Old Song said as well." The black-faced middle-aged man laughed. The high-nosed Elder glanced at Old Song, "Old Song, how should we punish this brat?"
"Does Fenrir have any opinions?" Old Song stroked his beard as he turned his gaze onto Grandmaster Fenrir.
"Don't ask me. Back then, I had a friendly encounter with him. Today, I'm only here to take a look. I won't interfere in your matters." Fenrir smiled as he waved his hands, not getting involved in this matter. Qin Wentian was brimming with confidence, he must have already made preparations. He was more than happy to watch the show.
"In that case, the ancient scroll of the Ascendant?" Old Song placed his hand on his beard, his eyes gleaming with sharpness.
"That has nothing to do with me. If you guys can obtain it, just go ahead." Fenrir waved his hands.
"Good, good." Old Song stroked his beard as he laughed. They had one less strong opponent.
"This brat was so disrespectful to Grandmaster Liang and the other Grandmasters. He deserves death. "At this moment, a voice drifted over from the back of the crowd. The black-faced middle-aged man smiled," Ghaus, it seems like you have some ideas. "
"I've long recognized this brat. He doesn't respect his elders, and has the ambition of a wolf. If he were to obtain the ancient scroll of the Ascendant, it would be a waste of a heavenly treasure. This brat deserves death, and I'm sure the White Deer Institute won't hold it against him." Ghaus's voice was ice-cold.
"Ghaus, how shameless can you be?" Bailu Yi cursed as she turned her gaze onto Ghaus. Back then, he had some grudges with Qin Wentian, but Qin Wentian didn't hold it against him. Yet now, Ghaus actually wanted these people to kill Qin Wentian. How ruthless.
"Miss Bailu Yi, it seems like your heart aches for your lover. But I, Ghaus, believe that the White Deer Institute will understand right from wrong." Ghaus wasn't angered, he casually laughed. The crowd shifted their gazes onto the large-eyed Elder and Bailu Tong, as though they had already discussed how to deal with Qin Wentian. Next, they just had to wait for the White Deer Institute to express their stance.
Bailu Tong's gaze shifted onto Qin Wentian as he coldly stated, "That will depend on what he chooses."
Evidently, Bailu Tong wanted to push the pressure onto Qin Wentian, forcing him to make a decision.
These Grandmasters wanted to kill him. What did he want, the ancient scroll of the Ascendant, or his life?
Qin Wentian stared at the people before him. Each and every one of them was a person of virtue and prestige, deciding his life and death as they chatted. It was as though his life wasn't even worth mentioning.
And that Ghaus, he actually dared to throw stones at Qin Wentian when he was down.
Qin Wentian swept his gaze over the crowd as he slowly spoke, "After speaking so much nonsense, have you finally revealed your true intentions? What a bunch of sanctimonious fellows. I, Qin, don't have the ancient scroll of the Ascendant, and even if I did, it wouldn't be your turn!"
