Qin Wentian slowly turned, staring at the familiar silhouettes of the crowd.
He glanced at his teacher Mustang and his senior sister Luo Huan; he glanced at Ouyang Kuangsheng, Fan Le and Chu Mang; he glanced at Mo Qingcheng and Bai Qing as a faint smile appeared in his eyes. He had succeeded.
"Haha, how satisfying!" A hearty voice rang out as Ouyang Kuangsheng's silhouette soared up into the skies, landing on the arena platform. "First ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings, I've truly lost all face this time around."
Chu Mang, Fan Le, Mo Qingcheng and the rest all stepped onto the arena platform.
Now that the Heavenly Fate Rankings had ended, those rules naturally no longer existed.
Bailu Jing and Bailu Yi also stepped onto the arena platform. They stood at the side, staring at the celebratory crowd as Qin Wentian held Mo Qingcheng's hand in his. Bailu Yi also smiled, her innocent countenance was exceptionally beautiful when she smiled. She sincerely wished Qin Wentian well.
"Boss, this battle was so satisfying. Looking at the sullen expressions on their faces, it's so satisfying."
A smile could be seen on Fan Le's chubby face. Qin Wentian stared at the faces of the crowd, feeling a sense of gratitude in his heart.
He knew that although he was the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings, he had also offended too many people in the Heavenly Fate Rankings. Not only that, these people were still willing to come all the way here to celebrate with him, standing together with him on the platform. They weren't here to bask in his glory, but rather, to tell him that they were standing together with him.
Qin Wentian's heart was truly moved. These people were his life and death brothers, his friends.
"Little Junior Brother, your luck with women isn't bad at all." Luo Huan giggled as she stared at the beauties beside Qin Wentian.
Mo Qingcheng, Bai Qing and even Yun Mengyi were all here. Upon seeing the ambiguous look in Luo Huan's eyes, Qin Wentian couldn't help but roll his eyes. Luo Huan truly loved to joke around. Little Rascal in her embrace transformed into a beam of white light and instantly scuttled into Qin Wentian's embrace. Tilting its head, it stared at the Purgatory Vermilion Bird in the air, as though it was demonstrating its dominance.
The Purgatory Vermilion Bird let out a low cry and swooped down, wrapping its wings around Qin Wentian. Because of its huge body, Qin Wentian's entire body was wrapped up by the Purgatory Vermilion Bird's wings, causing the people around to laugh.
Did the two demonic beasts also know how to fight for favor?
The spectators below all stared at the youthful silhouette standing on the platform, filled with boundless vitality. They all felt a warmth in their hearts, feeling extremely touched.
Of course, they also understood the situation Qin Wentian was facing, but the feelings of these young people had already transcended that sense of crisis. They trusted each other and treated each other as family. The first thing they did was to celebrate Qin Wentian.
It had been a very long time since they had seen such a touching scene.
That tyrannical young man was cold and violent, merciless and merciless. Who would have thought that he would have such a warm side to him? There were so many friends who were willing to stand together with him in the future, no matter how difficult it would be.
In the direction of the Mystic Maiden Palace, Xuan Xin dashed over, only to be held back by Xuan Yan. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to congratulate him." Xuan Xin turned her head back.
"Do you know what the current situation is?" Xuan Yan glared at Xuan Xin. This lass was too rash. This time around, the person who obtained the top position in the Heavenly Fate Rankings was Qin Wentian, not someone from the seven transcendent powers. Such a situation had never happened before, not to mention that Qin Wentian had already offended so many people. Who knew what would happen next?
"I know, but he's Fan Le's brother. Isn't this what I should do?" Xuan Xin laughed. Xuan Yan's hand loosened, and Xuan Xin instantly slipped away, dashing towards the arena platform as well. This caused Xuan Yan to be in a daze. She turned her gaze onto the platform and found the honest-looking young man, Chu Mang. Her heart was in a state of turmoil.
"Nonsense." A beautiful woman from the Mystic Maiden Palace couldn't help but be taken aback when she saw Xuan Xin dashing up. After which, she berated, "Xuan Xin, come back here."
On the arena platform, Qin Wentian and the rest all heard this voice. Turning back, they saw Xuan Xin standing at the edge of the platform. Her back was facing her master as she made a face at Qin Wentian. "Congratulations on obtaining the top position in the Heavenly Fate Rankings. You are much more powerful than a certain someone."
"That was an accident." Fatty Fan Le smiled. He was naturally the person Xuan Xin was referring to.
"Yes, it was an accident." Xuan Xin smiled mischievously. Qin Wentian glanced in the direction of the Mystic Maiden Palace as he spoke to Xuan Xin, "Xuan Xin, you should return first."
With regards to Xuan Xin's kind intentions, he understood and accepted them. It was truly a wonderful thing for Fan Le to have such a pure and innocent girlfriend.
"I know." Xuan Xin glared at Qin Wentian, before reluctantly returning to the Mystic Maiden Palace.
"Qingcheng, you should come back as well."
In the direction of the Pill Emperor Hall, Luo He stared at Mo Qingcheng as she spoke.
Mo Qingcheng turned her gaze onto Luo He as she replied, "Master, you promised me."
What she was referring to was that Luo He had personally promised that as long as Qin Wentian defeated Zhan Chen, she wouldn't interfere in the matters between her and Qin Wentian.
"I've already promised you. Don't tell me I, your master, will go back on my words? Come here first, and follow me back later. If he wishes to woo my disciple, he can go to the Pill Emperor Hall himself." Luo He coldly stated, causing Mo Qingcheng to hesitate.
She naturally wanted to be together with Qin Wentian, but her master Luo He treated her very well. Luo He's words didn't seem to have any intentions of stopping her, she only wanted her to return first.
"Qingcheng, you should go back first." Qin Wentian walked up, holding onto Mo Qingcheng's hands as he spoke in a low voice.
If the Pill Emperor Hall wanted to stop him no matter what, there was nothing he could do. If he could ease the tension between them, he was willing to do so for the sake of Mo Qingcheng. After all, Zhan Chen couldn't represent the Pill Emperor Hall.
The hatred between him and Zhan Chen was one of life and death. Hence, he had no hesitation in killing Zhan Chen.
Mo Qingcheng inclined her head slightly, staring at Qin Wentian only to see Qin Wentian smiling at her as he spoke in a low voice, "Go."
His current strength was still insufficient to shake the Pill Emperor Hall. For the sake of Qingcheng, he was willing to take a step back. But if the Pill Emperor Hall went back on their words, he would definitely flatten the Pill Emperor Hall and bring Mo Qingcheng away.
Let's hope that things wouldn't come to that. After all, he didn't have any deep grudges with Mo Qingcheng's master, Luo He.
Mo Qingcheng tightly held onto Qin Wentian's hands as she nodded her head, reluctantly releasing them. After which, her silhouette flickered as she returned to the direction of the Pill Emperor Hall.
"Let's go." Luo He spoke. With a wave of her sleeves, she led those from the Pill Emperor Hall away.
Mo Qingcheng turned her head back and stared at Qin Wentian, her eyes filled with longing and reluctance.
"After this matter is concluded, I will return to the Moon Continent." Qin Wentian smiled as he spoke in a clear voice. Mo Qingcheng nodded her head lightly, her eyes filled with tears.
They had only been together for a short period of time, and now they had to separate again.
Qin Wentian felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. He hated himself for not having enough strength. If he was the top ranker in the Heavenly Dipper Rankings, what could these people from the Pill Emperor Hall do to him? How could they take away a woman from his side?
But now, it was also good that Mo Qingcheng left. After all, he himself didn't know what would happen next.
"It's also good that she left. In this place, your hands and feet would be tied. Don't underestimate these transcendent powers too much. I'm afraid things won't go smoothly between you and her." Yun Mengyi walked to the side of Qin Wentian as she spoke in a low voice. "I'm afraid the Pill Emperor Hall thinks that you won't be able to live past today."
Qin Wentian's countenance stiffened. Yun Mengyi's words contained hints of maturity. Currently, other than giving Qin Wentian a sense of mystery, there was also a sense of calmness and maturity. It was as though nothing in the world would be able to affect her state of heart.
"The Heavenly Fate Rankings have concluded. Everyone, please disperse. The ancient kingdom of Grand Xia shall be closed. Only those who managed to enter the Heavenly Fate Rankings can remain here and pay their respects to the ancient kingdom."
At this moment, a clear voice drifted down from the Heavens, resounding throughout the entire space. It was unknown who the speaker was.
This scene caused the hearts of Qin Wentian and the rest to tremble. Most probably, this was the voice of Si Qiong's faction. These people were eyeing the secret art within the Vermilion Bird Formation like a tiger eyeing its prey.
"I participated in the ranking battle of the Heavenly Fate Rankings and obtained the ancient luck of Grand Xia. Now that I've succeeded, I shall no longer pay any attention to the ancient kingdom." A person calmly spoke. The person who spoke was none other than Qin Zheng. He could also sense that these people had ill intentions.
If they stayed behind, wouldn't they be slaughtered by others?
"This is the tradition of Grand Xia, how can we abandon it?" The voice in the air continued, containing traces of coldness and tyranny.
"I believe we should have the freedom to do so." Qin Zheng faintly spoke.
"Obtaining the ancient luck of Grand Xia yet refusing to pay respects to our ancient kingdom. What are your intentions?" The ice-cold voice contained a powerful might within. That person from the Chen Clan spoke, "This is the tradition of the ancient kingdom, we cannot abandon it."
The countenances of Qin Wentian and the rest froze. Before this, these people wanted to exchange their secret arts but they didn't agree. Now, they wanted to force them to stay behind.
"This is the tradition of Grand Xia." That person from the Hua Clan spoke.
"We cannot abandon it." That person from the Wang Clan stated, all of them harboring unfathomable intentions.
They, the seven great clans of Grand Xia, most probably had a connection with the power that Si Qiong was from.
In fact, Qin Wentian guessed that the destruction of Grand Xia back then had something to do with them. After all, the true records of that period of history had already been erased.
"If you all dare to disrespect the ancient kingdom, spit out the ancient luck you obtained and cripple it." The ice-cold voice drifted down from the Heavens. It wouldn't stop until it achieved its goal.
"Are you all really from the ancient kingdom of Grand Xia? Why are you hiding your heads but showing your tails?" Qin Wentian inclined his head, his eyes gleaming with sharpness.
As the sound of his voice faded, a group of silhouettes soared up into the skies from the depths of the royal palace, instantly descending upon this space.
This group of people were all extraordinary. Just by casually standing in the air, they gave off a terrifying feeling. Their auras weren't any weaker compared to those from the various transcendent powers.
Only to see that their gazes were sharp as they stared at the arena platform.
"Which power do you belong to?" The person in the lead was a middle-aged man clad in golden robes, exuding an extraordinary aura. He stared at Qin Wentian as he coldly asked.
"I don't belong to any transcendent power." Qin Wentian replied.
"Fine, since you obtained the ancient luck of Grand Xia, it can also be considered fate. I shall bestow you a chance. Join us and we will definitely help you grow. How about it?" The golden-robed middle-aged man had a heart filled with love for talent. He stared at the crowd as he continued, "Those who obtained ancient luck are all fated. I shall bestow you all with good fortune."
Although this person sent out an invitation out of love for talent, his words were filled with arrogance. Bestowing good fortune to everyone caused a strange feeling to appear in the hearts of the crowd. This wasn't like what the rumors said, that the ancient kingdom of Grand Xia was only left with a weak and feeble branch. These people in front of them had strength comparable to the strongest transcendent powers.
