In the Ginkou Continent, the residence of the Mystic Moon Sect was enveloped by an oppressive aura.
In a certain courtyard, several experts were gathered there.
"What's the situation outside?" A middle-aged woman asked. A voice replied, "The Chen Clan has already surrounded this area, and they're gathering a terrifying amount of strength. I'm afraid they're here to kill us."
"Master, is the Chen Clan really going to initiate a war just for a single Chen Wang?" That woman asked.
In the Grand Xia Empire, the various transcendent powers were constantly in conflict. Especially a few days ago, a great war had occurred, but a true war had never occurred before.
A war between sects was a war that wouldn't rest until one side was annihilated. Nobody dared to initiate a war so casually. Even if one side had the advantage, they wouldn't dare to do so.
For example, although the Great Solar Chen Clan was much stronger than the Mystic Moon Sect, the moment they initiated a war, the Mystic Moon Sect would definitely retaliate. At that time, the experts of the Mystic Moon Sect would infiltrate the Grand Xia Empire and hunt down the members of the Great Solar Chen Clan. Unless the Great Solar Chen Clan had the confidence to annihilate the Mystic Moon Sect cleanly in one go.
However, transcendent powers all had Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants guarding them. How could it be so easy to annihilate them all? And if they failed to do so, the revenge of the Ascendants would be extremely terrifying.
Hence, although the conflict between the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, Chen Clan, Hua Clan and the Mystic Moon Sect was extremely intense, there was still some degree of restraint. For example yesterday, when the transcendent powers fought, they only allowed third and fourth level Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns to fight. The stronger ones didn't interfere at the start because they didn't want a war to break out.
As for Chen Wang's pleas for help, and even his death, this was something that no one had expected. After all, the chosen of a sect or clan would all have some life-saving methods. Even if they were facing experts at the same level or two higher than them, they wouldn't die.
However, Chen Wang had indeed died. And now, the Great Solar Chen Clan was prepared to pay any price to exact revenge.
"I'm surprised as well. Bai Qing, what happened yesterday? Who was the one who killed Chen Wang?" The woman in the lead stared at Bai Qing as she asked.
Bai Qing shook her head, "I also don't know how Chen Wang died. I only know that the young man surnamed Di went to hunt him down."
"Although the strength of that young man surnamed Di isn't bad, he's still only at the second level of Heavenly Dipper. Even if his combat prowess is strong enough to defeat Chen Wang, it's still impossible for him to kill Chen Wang. Not only that, Chen Xiao who was at the fourth level of Heavenly Dipper has already died. This isn't something he can accomplish. I'm afraid there's more to it than meets the eye." The lady in the lead spoke in a low voice.
In truth, the Great Solar Chen Clan also had the same thoughts, but no one knew the exact situation. Hence, they had no choice but to act against the Mystic Moon Sect. After all, the relationship between the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and the Jiang Clan was extremely close, it would be more difficult to make a move against them.
"Did you ask for reinforcements?" the leader of the group asked again.
"Mhm, the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan should already know about the situation here. Now that we have a common enemy, I'm sure the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan would understand." The person below slowly spoke. However, as he spoke, a boundless might gushed forth from the outside world. After that, a voice rang out.
"Mystic Moon Sect, hand over those who participated in the battle yesterday. If not, all of you shall be killed without mercy." This voice was extremely cold, filled with a terrifying killing intent, causing the lady in the lead to furrow her brows. "Those who are at the third level of Heavenly Dipper and below, flee this place on your own. You would only be courting death if you participate in the battle. Those who are at the fourth level of Heavenly Dipper and above, follow me and fight."
The lady in the lead was extremely decisive, directly issuing the command.
"Master, this matter started because of me. I won't leave." Bai Qing shook her head.
"Since things have already reached this point, there's no need to talk about who was at fault. To my Mystic Moon Sect, preserving our strength and growing stronger in the future is the most important thing. Especially now that the Grand Xia Empire is in a state of chaos, a war between sects could erupt at any moment. Qing`er, as a candidate to become the future leader of the Mystic Moon Sect, even if you can participate in the battle, you have no choice but to leave."
The eyes of the lady in the lead were immeasurably deep. She gently stroked Bai Qing's long hair as her tone was filled with determination, causing Bai Qing's eyes to turn red. She stared at her, "Master, I …"
"Don't say anymore. If you continue to be so stubborn, you would be wasting my years of nurturing you. Don't call me master anymore." The lady berated, causing Bai Qing's words to come to an abrupt halt. When she thought of how selfless her master had been to her all these years, treating her like her own daughter, Bai Qing felt an extreme pain in her heart.
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed thrice to her master, causing the earth to tremble. After which, she turned and sped away, her silhouette gradually transforming into the netherworld, incomparably illusory.
The battle outside had already erupted. The experts of the Great Solar Chen Clan had already fought their way in. Staring at Bai Qing's departing silhouette, someone asked, "Do you want to protect Bai Qing as she breaks out of the encirclement?"
"No need, Qing`er has the Dark Night Astral Soul and the Netherworld Astral Soul. It won't be easy to capture her if she stealthily escapes. If you guys follow her, it would only backfire. Let's go meet the experts of the Great Solar Chen Clan." The woman spoke. After that, she stepped out and instantly appeared in the air outside. She stared at a group of figures standing in the air. Below them, a tyrannical battle was taking place. The experts of the Chen Clan had slaughtered their way into the Mystic Yin Sect.
"Does the Great Solar Chen Clan want to start an all-out war with the Mystic Moon Sect?" Bai Qing's master's voice rang out as she stared at the experts of the Great Solar Chen Clan. Her heart pounded, she knew that today would be the end for the Mystic Moon Sect.
Seems like coming to Ginkou was a mistake. But of course, before this, nobody would have thought that such a situation would occur.
"Hand over the participants of the battle yesterday and I will pretend that nothing has happened." That expert from the Great Solar Chen Clan coldly spoke. Bai Qing's master coldly snorted. If they handed over the participants of the Mystic Moon Sect to their deaths, how could their Mystic Moon Sect still have a foothold in Grand Xia? From now on, their name would be cursed for eternity.
"The Great Solar Chen Clan didn't hesitate to start a war between sects just to capture the participants. I'm afraid that you guys have already bestowed the Sacred Royal Medallion to Chen Wang." Bai Qing's master faintly spoke. Instantly, the countenances of those beside her all froze as their eyes gleamed with sharpness. The eyes of the expert from the Great Solar Chen Clan also turned sharp, akin to a sharp blade piercing towards the other party.
"Seems like my conjecture was right. The Great Solar Chen Clan would only be bestowed three Sacred Royal Medallions every hundred years. Seems like Chen Wang has already obtained one of the three medallions. But now, Chen Wang has disappeared, and the Sacred Royal Medallion has also been lost." Bai Qing's master coldly spoke. The expert from the Great Solar Chen Clan berated, "Shut up. Since you know about this, it seems like the Mystic Moon Sect is the prime suspect. If you don't surrender now, we will kill all of you without mercy."
"Listen to my command, there's no need to fight to the death. Break out of the encirclement and return to the Spirit Continent." Bai Qing's master commanded. Momentarily, the experts from the Mystic Moon Sect all started to break out of the encirclement, no longer fighting to the death.
"Bai Qing from the Mystic Moon Sect must be captured." The expert from the Great Solar Chen Clan commanded. Since Chen Wang had fallen, the Mystic Moon Sect had lost a Heaven Chosen.
In the direction where Bai Qing broke out of the encirclement, the sky darkened as night fell. A ghostly silhouette walked through the darkness, as though he had transformed into a shadow, blending into the darkness.
"BANG!"
A few experts from the Great Solar Chen Clan appeared in the darkness. Towering flames erupted from their bodies as they unleashed their Great Solar Universe Art, incinerating the mountains and boiling the seas. Their palms slammed out in a frenzy, wanting to force Bai Qing to act.
A cold wind blew gently as a sinister intent abruptly gushed forth. After which, a devilish saber manifested in the darkness of the night, instantly killing an expert from the Chen Clan. However, Bai Qing's silhouette also appeared as she madly fled into the distance.
"You won't be able to escape." In the air, a blazing figure soared through the air. The light of the Great Solar Universe Art enveloped Bai Qing, illuminating her body.
"Peng, peng, peng …"
Using Stellar Transposition, Bai Qing's silhouette flickered as she reappeared a great distance away. When she and Qin Wentian were trapped in the Ancient Kingdom of Grand Xia, they had naturally cultivated Stellar Transposition.
"Hmph." How could the experts from the Great Solar Chen Clan spare her? They similarly used Stellar Transposition to chase after her, frenziedly fleeing through the streets of Ginkou.
In another location in Ginkou, the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and Jiang Clan had indeed planned to act to aid the Mystic Moon Sect. Now that the Great Solar Chen Clan had already shed all pretense of cordiality and wanted to initiate a war, they had to form an alliance. However, on their way to aid the Great Solar Chen Clan, they were obstructed by the Hua Clan and Wang Clan. Although they didn't want to initiate a war like the Great Solar Chen Clan, they were still able to obstruct the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan for a period of time.
Qin Wentian didn't expect that killing Chen Wang and obtaining the ancient medallion would result in such a calamity.
He once again returned to Ginkou and entered an inn to enjoy some wine. As he did so, he heard the whispers of the people around him.
"How tragic, I didn't expect the Great Solar Chen Clan to be so ruthless. But since they've already decided to initiate a war, the Great Solar Chen Clan has already thrown caution to the wind. What happened to the Mystic Moon Sect?" A table full of people murmured, their words causing Qin Wentian's entire body to stiffen. Did something happen to the Mystic Moon Sect?
"I heard that Bai Qing actually managed to escape from the encirclement of the Great Solar Chen Clan. However, she was injured in the process. Right now, the entire Ginkou is searching for her, but from what I can see, I'm afraid that Bai Qing will walk right into the trap."
"Mhm, outside the Venerate Heavens Gate, Bai Qing's master's corpse was hung upside down. Bai Qing had to go and collect the corpse herself, it would be difficult for her not to return."
These people were all mumbling, and as the sound of their voices faded, Qin Wentian only felt his entire body turning cold. He abruptly turned his gaze over, staring at the person who spoke. An incomparably cold aura abruptly enveloped him, causing the countenance of the person who spoke to change drastically. "Senior, we spoke nonsense, please forgive us."
They all thought that this person was an expert from the Great Solar Chen Clan who was angered by their words.
"What happened to those from the Mystic Moon Sect?" Qin Wentian asked.
The few of them exchanged glances as their eyes flickered. It seemed like Qin Wentian wasn't someone from the Great Solar Chen Clan.
"Early this morning, the Great Solar Chen Clan surrounded the Mystic Moon Sect, killing them all without mercy. Although the Mystic Moon Sect tried their best to break out of the encirclement, only a few managed to escape. Bai Qing's master was also killed, and her corpse was hung upside down outside the Venerate Heavens Gate. Bai Qing had to collect the corpse herself," one of them trembled as he spoke. Especially when they felt the pressure of Qin Wentian's might enveloping them, it caused them to be even more cautious.
"Just because of the death of Chen Wang, the Great Solar Chen Clan went all out, even going so far as to humiliate the Mystic Moon Sect to lure Bai Qing back?" Qin Wentian's entire body turned ice cold.
"Not only for Chen Wang, but also because of an ancient medallion on him. I heard that it's called the Sacred Royal Medallion." Those people respectfully replied, causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble. The Sacred Royal Medallion, it must be that ancient medallion.
"Kacha!" Qin Wentian's fists were tightly clenched as his body trembled. When he thought of the miserable state Bai Qing's master was in, an intense feeling of guilt surfaced in his heart.
This matter had arisen because of him.
Although he didn't expect that killing Chen Wang would cause such an intense reaction from the Great Solar Chen Clan, it was because of his actions that the Mystic Moon Sect ended up in such a miserable state. Not only that, he even humiliated Bai Qing's master.
His heart was filled with unbearable pain. Bai Qing's master must have doted on her dearly.
Now that she had already died, she still had to endure the humiliation of the Great Solar Chen Clan.
"Great Solar Chen Clan!" Qin Wentian's eyes were scarlet red, the coldness radiating from him was so intense that the people who spoke earlier were forced to kneel on the ground. At this moment, the look in Qin Wentian's eyes was too terrifying, he could kill them all in a moment of rage!
"Bzzz!" But at this moment, Qin Wentian's silhouette directly dashed out of the inn. Only then did those people draw in a deep breath, their bodies still trembling as they silently guessed at the identity of that person!
