A year ago, in Ginkou, in the ancient kingdom of Grand Xia, although no one from the Sword Reverence City participated in the ranking battle, they had all heard of the results of the battle.
A Heaven's Chosen, Qin Wentian, appeared out of nowhere, defeating the demon-level genius of the Great Solar Chen Clan, Chen Wang, as well as the dark horse Si Qiong. He even killed the Heaven's Chosen of the Pill Emperor Hall, Zhan Chen, becoming the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings. Qin Wentian used his fame as the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings to tell the world that he and Mo Qingcheng were a match made in heaven.
This year's Heavenly Fate Rankings battle was known as the strongest in a thousand years.
Wang Jue, who was once ranked # 6 on the Heavenly Fate Ranking, didn't even manage to enter the top ten. However, it couldn't be said that Wang Jue's strength was lacking, it was just that the Heavenly Fate Rankings this time around were simply too strong.
After the Heavenly Fate Rankings, those ranked at the top all broke through to Heavenly Dipper. Wang Jue of the War Continent was no exception. As a Heaven's Chosen of the Wang Clan, one could very well imagine how strong his combat prowess was. If he were to enter the Sword Reverence City in the future, he would definitely be able to dominate everyone.
Moreover, what kind of power is the Wang Family of War State? Even if Wang Jue doesn't come out, the other Heavenly Dipper Realm first stage people will not be weak?
And at this moment, outside the Sword Reverence City, the sect leader of the Zong Clan, Zong Yi, actually issued a wager of 100,000 Yuan Meteor Stones to the Wang Clan.
"Wang Jue." The middle-aged man lifted his head and looked at a young man in the air.
"Wang Jue, it's really Wang Jue." The countenances of those from the Zong Clan all turned incredibly unsightly to behold. As for those from the Heavenly Sword Sect, they were still laughing coldly.
"The Sword Son of the Zong Clan from the Sword Reverence City actually issued a bet of 100,000 Yuan Meteor Stones to our Wang Clan. You, go and tell him, there's always a sky beyond a sky." The middle-aged man in luxurious robes spoke. Wang Jue's countenance was calm. He heard that there were demon swords in this place and thus decided to come here to take a look. He wanted to see if there was anything special about this sword range.
Qin Wentian would always remember his defeat in the Heavenly Fate Rankings, constantly reminding himself that he had to grow stronger.
And now, there was actually a major power challenging him in the Sword Reverence City. This caused a cold light to flicker in his eyes.
"Since Wang Jue is here, I think Brother Zong should just give up the sword range and hand over the Yuan Meteor Stones before leaving this place." Zong Yi's countenance was as calm as ever. He wasn't worried about the outcome of this battle. What he was thinking in his heart was that his opponent was someone from the Wang Clan of the War Continent. Even if they won this battle, would they give up on the sword range?
I'm afraid it'll be difficult.
Looking at the Wang Family's current situation, it seemed like they wouldn't rest until they obtained the sword range.
"I, Zong, am willing to take a step back and forget about this battle. My Zong Clan will work together with the Wang Clan to mine the sword range. In addition, I will pay half of the promised Yuan Meteor Stones. How about it?" Zong Yi contemplated for a moment before he spoke, taking a step back.
However, the other party wouldn't think this way. The middle-aged man coldly laughed, "Now that you know you're no match for me, you want to regret your decision? How laughable. Where is the Sword Son of the Zong Clan?"
Qin Wentian was currently among the crowd of people from the Zong Clan. He left the ancient kingdom and came to the Sword Reverence City because he didn't want to be discovered. But who would have thought that he would actually encounter people from the Zong Clan here.
However, at this moment, since they had already met, there was no point in running away.
Only to see his silhouette slowly walking out, and in an instant, he landed on the stone platform. Staring at his back view, the members of the Zong Clan couldn't help but sigh silently.
Although Qin Wentian had defeated the Sword Son of the Li Clan and the Heavenly Sword Sect, it would be extremely difficult for him to defeat Wang Jue of the Wang Clan.
At this moment, Qin Wentian stood with his hands clasped behind his back as he slowly inclined his head, staring at Wang Jue. Instantly, Wang Jue's countenance flickered with a terrifying sharpness, while Wang Xiao, who was standing behind him, radiated a sharpness as well.
"It's him." Wang Jue had never imagined that he would encounter Qin Wentian here. The Sword Son of the Sword Reverence City? This identity was truly well disguised.
A few months ago, Ouyang Kuangsheng had returned to the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, while Bai Qing had returned to the Mystic Moon Sect. This incident had shocked the various transcendent powers. The Great Solar Chen Clan and the other transcendent powers of Ginkou were still encircling the ancient kingdom, yet Qin Wentian had actually left. This was akin to a slap to the face of the Great Solar Chen Clan. Because of this, the Great Solar Chen Clan was infuriated and had even issued an order to capture Qin Wentian.
How would they be able to find him? Wang Jue stood at his original location, not stepping onto the platform. Although he was extremely confident in his own strength, he had to admit that he didn't have the ability to win against someone who had once fought in the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
The battle between Qin Wentian, Chen Wang and Si Qiong was still vivid in his mind. Qin Wentian's combat prowess had no weaknesses. Now that he had stepped into Heavenly Dipper, how strong would he be? Most probably, the Astral Warbeasts he could summon would be able to dominate opponents at the same level as him.
"Wang Jue." The middle-aged man inclined his head, calling out to Wang Jue who was still standing in the air.
Those from the Heavenly Sword Sect and Zong Clan were all bewildered. This Wang Jue was staring at Qin Wentian, yet he didn't move an inch. In his eyes, an intense fear could be seen.
"A mere Zong Clan from the Sword Reverence City, what qualifications do they have to negotiate with my Wang Clan? Let alone a battle. Uncle, tell them to scram." Wang Xiao didn't want Wang Jue to feel awkward as he spoke. The middle-aged man frowned, he didn't understand. "A hundred thousand Yuan Meteor Stones were delivered to my doorstep, how can I refuse?"
"That's right, this Zong Clan doesn't know the immensity of the Heavens and Earth. Honorable nephew Wang Jue should teach Brother Zong how to conduct himself." Jian Wuyou coldly laughed. However, he only saw Wang Jue coldly glancing at him, causing a strange expression to appear on Jian Wuyou's face. There seemed to be something wrong with Wang Jue's gaze.
Shifting his gaze over, Wang Jue stared at Qin Wentian as he coldly stated, "The Chen Clan is searching for you everywhere. What would they do if they knew you were here?"
"Mhm?" Upon hearing Wang Jue's words, the eyes of the crowd froze. Wang Jue was actually acquainted with the Sword Son of the Zong Clan?
"Fight, or not?" Qin Wentian inclined his head, his gaze as sharp as a sword, landing on Wang Jue. That gaze caused Wang Jue's heart to tremble. Back then, during the ranking battle, on the Vermilion Bird Arena Platform, this was the same gaze he used to kill Zhan Chen, defeat Chen Wang and Si Qiong.
Wang Jue didn't reply. The middle-aged man's brows furrowed even more tightly as he asked, "Who is this person?"
"Qin Wentian!" Wang Jue stared at Qin Wentian as he spat out these three words. Momentarily, the middle-aged man's countenance stiffened as a terrifying light flickered in his eyes.
Number one on the Heavenly Fate Rankings, Qin Wentian.
"Qin Wentian?" The countenances of those from the Zong Clan stiffened. Could it be that the Sword Son's real name wasn't Qin Wentian? But Qin Wentian?
Some of the more knowledgeable ones involuntarily exclaimed, "Last year, the one who defeated Chen Wang from the Ancient Kingdom of Grand Xia, the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings, Qin Wentian."
As the sound of this voice faded, the crowd inclined their heads and stared at the silhouette of the young man standing on the stone platform. Their countenances stiffened. This Qin Wentian, was that Qin Wentian?
He was the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings?
And when they glanced at Wang Jue, he didn't even dare to take half a step forward upon seeing Qin Wentian.
Those from the Li Clan and Heavenly Sword Sect were all dumbfounded. No wonder Zong Yi was so confident, he was actually Qin Wentian. This man had once dominated the Heavenly Fate Rankings with no opponents at the same cultivation level as him.
The gazes of those from the Zong Clan burned with passion as they stared at the back view of Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian merely stood there casually, yet the Heaven's Chosen from the Wang Clan of the War Continent didn't even dare to take a single step forward.
Even if you were a Heaven's Chosen, you didn't even have the courage to fight. Because, if you fought, you would definitely lose.
"The top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings has actually been in my Zong Clan all this time, and I actually didn't know him." A young man from the Zong Clan sighed, his countenance filled with excitement. He had never imagined that he would be able to come into contact with the legendary top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
At this moment, Qin Wentian's silhouette seemed to grow taller and taller. Just by standing there, he was akin to a legend.
He was the same as Hua Taixu back then, standing at the peak of Yuanfu, the pinnacle of Grand Xia.
This person actually appeared in the Zong Clan, becoming the Sword Son of the Zong Clan.
"You already knew?" The middle-aged man stared at Zong Yi, his countenance cold.
"I'm only asking you this. Does the bet still count?" Zong Yi didn't reply. Since Qin Wentian had already stepped out, it didn't matter if he replied or not. The him now, instead, was domineering as he stared at the middle-aged man.
"If I say it counts, do you dare to accept it?" The middle-aged man stared at Zong Yi.
"Accept." Zong Yi calmly stared back at the middle-aged man.
"Are you sure?" The middle-aged man asked again. His tone had already turned exceptionally cold.
"I'm sure." Zong Yi's countenance was as calm as ever as he calmly replied. At this instant, the middle-aged man laughed as he waved his hands, "Very well, since you accept it, I shall gift this sword range to you. In addition, I will send someone to the War Continent to prepare a hundred thousand Yuan Meteor Stones. Just you wait."
As the sound of his voice faded, the silhouette of the middle-aged man soared through the air, directly departing the area.
Those from the Wang Clan of the War Continent all followed suit. Jian Wuyou coldly laughed as he glanced at Zong Yi, "Brother Zong's decision this time around isn't very wise. Let's hope that your Zong Clan will be able to obtain this sword range."
As the sound of his voice faded, those from the Heavenly Sword Sect also departed.
Those from the Li Clan all had expressions of schadenfreude on their faces. Seems like there would be a good show to watch in the Sword Reverence City.
Very swiftly, only those from the Zong Clan remained at the bottom of the precipice. The Heavenly Sword Sect had actually evacuated the guards of the sword range. However, they all understood that this was only temporary. How could the transcendent power, the Wang Clan, give up so easily?
Leaving aside the hundred thousand Yuan Meteor Stones and the sword range, even the safety of their Zong Clan would have to be reconsidered.
Qin Wentian furrowed his brows. The Wang Clan didn't dare to make a move because they weren't strong enough. Not only that, the Wang Clan knew that he had the Divine Stele in his possession during the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
With the Divine Stele in his hands, the Wang Clan would definitely feel trepidation in their hearts. After all, that was the complete Divine Stele!
However, the Wang Clan didn't say a single word about it and directly departed. Naturally, they were heading to the War Continent to mobilize their experts. They couldn't stay in the Sword Reverence City any longer.
Qin Wentian also didn't expect that he would encounter the Wang Clan here.
Turning back, Qin Wentian walked to the side of Zong Yi as he spoke, "I've implicated Uncle Zong."
"Since I've already made up my mind, why should I be afraid of the consequences?" Zong Yi lightly spoke, patting Qin Wentian on his shoulder as he smiled, "My blood is still boiling."
Qin Wentian felt his heart heating up as a smile appeared on his face. After which, Zong Yi turned and stared at the members of the Zong Clan as he commanded, "Immediately return to the clan and hold a clan meeting."
Since they had already thought of the consequences, the Zong Clan naturally had to make the necessary preparations.
Everyone nodded their heads as they cast a deep glance at Qin Wentian. After which, their silhouettes flickered as they departed the area.
That very day, the youths of the Zong Clan, as well as the weaker females and children, all left the Sword Reverence City through the teleportation array. Only then did the members of the Zong Clan discover that there was actually a teleportation array hidden in the Zong Clan.
A crafty rabbit has three burrows. The Zong Clan was one of the 'hidden' branches of the Azure Emperor, they would naturally leave a path of retreat for themselves. This teleportation array was something they had paid a huge price to hire a grandmaster who was proficient in spatial divine inscriptions to create.
In a single day, the Zong Clan left behind those who had the strength to fight. At the same time, they destroyed the teleportation array, cutting off any path of escape. After which, they set off for the sword range during the night.
Evidently, the Zong Clan was prepared to give up on the Sword Reverence City. Their ruthless methods caused Qin Wentian to sigh in admiration at Zong Yi's boldness!
