The Chen Ancestor swept his gaze over the crowd as he spoke, "Everyone, please retreat for now."
Needless to say, the silhouettes of the crowd flickered as they retreated into the distance.
How tyrannical was a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant's might? If that blazing sun constellation were to unleash its full power, how terrifying would it be? Most probably, the aftershocks from it would be sufficient to annihilate ordinary Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns.
In the blink of an eye, the vast crowd retreated far away. Even those from the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and Jiang Clan retreated as well.
Even if Qin Wentian appeared here, they still made it clear that they wouldn't participate in the battle.
The three Ascendants from the Pill Emperor Hall were still seated on the spectator platform. They naturally wouldn't leave.
Other than them, only Old Man Tianji was still seated at his original location. He was the host of today's ranking battle.
"Old Man Tianji, for today's matter, I will definitely come to the Venerate Heavens Sect to beg for forgiveness. But today, there was someone who stole my Chen Clan's Sacred Royal Medallion. We have to settle this here and now, I beg for your forgiveness." The Chen Ancestor stared at Old Man Tianji as he spoke.
Old Man Tianji didn't express his stance, he continued sitting there calmly as he stared at the crowd.
"Qin Wentian, the hostage has been released. Shouldn't you hand over the Sacred Royal Medallion to me?" The Chen Ancestor stared at Qin Wentian.
"I only said that the Sacred Royal Medallion has appeared, I didn't say that I would hand it over to you." Qin Wentian coldly spoke, his hands still tightly gripping onto the medallion.
The eyes of the Chen Ancestor narrowed. If he didn't hand it over, Qin Wentian can forget about leaving this place today.
However at this moment, Jun Yu flicked his sleeves as he stood up. His gaze landed on the great roc as he spoke, "I don't care about the Sacred Royal Medallion. Qin Wentian, since you dared to act against my Pill Emperor Hall, I won't kill you today. Follow me back to the Pill Emperor Hall."
Qin Wentian's gigantic eyes stared at Jun Yu. This man exuded a terrifying aura, exuding the might of a Celestial Phenomenon. Because of his appearance, those from the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan didn't dare to act.
This man was once a disciple of the Pill Emperor Hall. Now, he had joined the Royal Sacred Sect and became an elder of the Royal Sacred Sect.
Qin Wentian didn't know about the Royal Sacred Sect, he didn't know how strong this power was. To be able to cause Jun Yu to have such a domineering attitude when he appeared, as though he didn't even place the entire Grand Xia in his eyes.
He only knew that since they were from the Pill Emperor Hall, that meant that they were his enemies.
Since they were enemies, why would he care which faction the other party came from?
It was just that right now, the strength of Qin Wentian's faction was truly too weak when compared to the alliance of the Chen Clan and Pill Emperor Hall.
In the Mystic Moon Sect, there were two Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants. In addition to Fairy Qingmei, there were only three of them.
The other party had six Celestial Ascendants.
If the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and Jiang Clan didn't retreat, they wouldn't be in such a situation. However, the Ouyang Ancestor didn't dare to fight, causing them to be in such a dangerous situation.
But at the same time, Qin Wentian's other body accompanied Ouyang Kuangsheng and the rest to the Royal Palace of Grand Xia.
In the ancient royal palace, other than them, there was no one else. Right now, everyone's attention was focused on the Venerate Heavens Sect. Who would still remember this ancient royal palace?
When Qin Wentian arrived, he instantly located Yun Mengyi. Now, including himself, there were a total of seven people here.
He, Ouyang Kuangsheng, Chu Mang, Fan Le, Yun Mengyi, Qin Zheng, and one more person that caused Qin Wentian to be taken aback. This person was none other than the personal disciple of the Poison King, Mu Feng.
At this moment, the scene in front of Yun Mengyi caused Qin Wentian's eyes to widen. He stared ahead, only to see that in front of Yun Mengyi, there was actually a huge crater in the ground, as though it was being devoured. However, the crater vanished completely, and in its place, a majestic ancient palace could be seen.
"This is the underground royal palace of Grand Xia, an extremely secretive place. Even the nine grand clans back then didn't know how to open it. Hence, no one has ever found it before." Yun Mengyi spoke to the others. "This underground royal palace is also known as the Royal Tomb of Grand Xia. Only those of the royal clan would know of its secrets."
"In that case, why did you summon us here?" Qin Wentian asked. Right now, the situation there wasn't looking good. Why did Yun Mengyi summon them here?
"Since you're working for Qin Wentian, you should know that he's currently in danger. I can activate the Puppet-Guarding Grand Formation of the Royal Tomb." Yun Mengyi spoke. After which, her silhouette flickered as she appeared at the entrance of the Royal Tomb. She mumbled, "To think that this formation was actually under the protection of the Vermilion Bird Formation. Luckily, the Vermilion Bird Formation has disappeared, allowing me to excavate it."
As she spoke, she clapped her hands, causing dust to fill the air. A cold wind gusted by as seven solemn-looking warriors clad in armor appeared at the entrance of the Royal Tomb. These warriors were like statues that hadn't moved for tens of thousands of years. They were extremely lifelike, as though they were real.
The seven of them stood in seven different directions, faintly resonating with the Seven Slaughter Constellations, exuding a murderous aura.
"The seven Puppets are all fifth-ranked warriors. Although our strength is limited, the power we can unleash is still extremely terrifying. However, the Seven Slaughter Puppets require absolute trust in each other. I don't dare to casually allow others to enter. Seven Slaughter Puppets with a single thought, all seven of them must be of one mind. If one of them is destroyed, all of them will be destroyed."
Yun Mengyi glanced at Qin Wentian. She didn't know Qin Wentian, but as for the others, they had fought side by side with each other before.
"Don't worry." Qin Wentian understood the meaning behind Yun Mengyi's gaze. He lightly nodded, indicating that he understood.
The Ancient Kingdom of Grand Xia was a hegemon of an entire region. Their strength was incomparably tyrannical, and their foundations were extremely deep. Who would have thought that the Royal Tomb would be hidden beneath the Vermilion Bird Formation?
There must be more secrets hidden within the Royal Tomb.
But now, Qin Wentian was even more suspicious of Yun Mengyi's identity.
She was actually able to find the Royal Tomb and even knew about the Seven Slaughter Puppets.
"Prepare to enter the Puppet." Yun Mengyi's silhouette flickered as she appeared at the back of the Puppet in the center. With a tap of her finger, a bright light flashed as the Puppet opened up. Yun Mengyi directly stepped into it, merging perfectly with the Puppet.
The others all followed suit, entering the Puppet as well.
The instant Qin Wentian stepped into the Puppet, he could clearly sense how terrifying it was.
He had also dabbled in the field of Puppets. This Puppet was forged from extraordinary materials, and the Divine Inscriptions inscribed on it were all extremely terrifying, capable of drawing upon the power of the Astral Energy in the Heavens.
What made Qin Wentian even more shocked was that at this moment, the seven of them actually had a telepathic connection with one another.
It was as though the Seven Slaughter Puppets had focused their consciousness on a single point.
"Let me teach you how to control the Puppet. Before we head to the Venerate Heavens Sect, all of you have to learn it." Yun Mengyi's voice rang out in the minds of the Seven Slaughter Puppets, causing their countenances to turn solemn.
The Seven Slaughter Puppets could kill seven with a single thought.
When Yun Mengyi taught the Seven Slaughter Puppets how to activate them, a vast might of Astral Energy shot up into the skies. Above the clouds, faint traces of astral light could be seen flickering, as though it was about to transform into a constellation.
Terrifying astral light shot up into the skies as the Seven Slaughter Puppets transformed into streams of light, speeding towards the direction of the Venerate Heavens Sect.
… …
Qin Wentian's other body was here, he naturally knew what was going on.
The Venerate Heavens Sect was already in a precarious situation. Right now, Qin Wentian needed a little more time. If the Seven Slaughter Puppets arrived, at the very least, they would be able to contend against a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant.
The great roc coldly laughed as he stared at the Chen Clan's coercion, as well as Jun Yu's domineering attitude. "Let's return to the Pill Emperor Hall. Are you not afraid that I will wield the demon sword again?"
"Although the demon sword is demonic, it has already been sealed by me. How can you control it again?" Jun Yu arrogantly spoke, his words causing Qin Wentian to feel even more ridiculous in his heart.
The demon sword was sealed?
Although he didn't know the exact situation of the demon sword, he knew that this sword was like a demon, hating the heavens for being too low. Back then, he dragged the sword for a hundred thousand miles, feeding it with his blood, yet the sword could only wail in pain, refusing to be controlled by him. From this, one could very well imagine how strong the pride of this sword was.
And now, the demon sword bestowed upon him an immortal art, allowing him to reverse the Demonic Divinity Sacrificial Transformation Art. How powerful was this? All because of a strand of fate.
Leaving aside Jun Yu, even if he was the supreme elder of the Royal Sacred Sect, how could he even move the demon sword?
"You truly know how to boast shamelessly. Back then, two Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants of your Pill Emperor Hall were injured by me. Yet now, you actually dare to say that you have sealed the demon sword?" Qin Wentian's voice was filled with mockery.
"You don't need to waste your breath anymore. If you are unwilling to follow me to the Pill Emperor Hall, I can only drag you along with me." Jun Yu faintly spoke as a terrifying might gushed forth from him.
"Are you guys going to act? So many Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants, you truly think highly of me. Since this is the case, let's fight." The silhouette of the great roc floated up into the air, igniting his blood as a towering demonic qi erupted forth from him.
"Bzzz!"
The great roc's silhouette flickered as it instantly soared through space, rushing towards Chen Fan of the Great Solar Chen Clan.
"Futile struggle." With the three Ascendants of the Great Solar Chen Clan present, how could they allow Qin Wentian to move against Chen Fan? The instant the great roc's silhouette flickered, they had already sensed it.
"BOOM!"
The great roc slammed into a flaming shield, only to see the astral light from his constellation cascading down on Chen Fan, transforming into a flaming shield. The great roc merely managed to shatter it.
"The disparity between Celestial Phenomenon and Heavenly Dipper is insurmountable. I'm afraid you still don't know what a Celestial Phenomenon is, right?" The youngest ascendant of the Chen Clan was none other than the younger brother of the current clan leader. He was clad in luxurious golden robes and his constellation shone brightly in the air. Above him, a flaming giant could be seen, as though it was walking out from lava, exuding a fearsome might.
"Bzzz!" That person casually blasted out a punch, and in an instant, it was as though a flaming giant had smashed out. The great roc responded with its talons, and the instant it collided with the flaming giant, its body turned bright red from the impact. Its talons were on the verge of shattering as it was flung through the air. Even its gigantic body couldn't withstand the impact, and it coughed out a mouthful of blood.
"The disparity between Celestial Phenomenon and Heavenly Dipper is a qualitative change. There's no way to cross this gap. You transformed into a great roc, and without the aid of the demon sword, in front of a Celestial Phenomenon, you are as insignificant as an ant."
That person stepped out once more, and with a grab of his palm, astral light cascaded down, transforming into a gigantic palm imprint that smashed towards the great roc.
"BANG!"
The incomparably gigantic body of the great roc was locked in place. The young man lifted the body of the great roc as he moved towards him.
"Wentian gege!" Bai Qing's countenance abruptly turned pale when she saw this scene. She wanted to rush out, yet the leader of the Mystic Moon Sect waved her hand, "Bring her away."
"Roger." Someone obeyed, forcibly dragging the struggling Bai Qing away. The leader of the Mystic Moon Sect didn't move, because she had already heard Qin Wentian's voice transmission.
The towering palm grabbed Qin Wentian and dragged him towards the youngest Ascendant of the Great Solar Chen Clan. This person had the features of a young man, and his lips curled up in a cold smile akin to the sharpness of a blade. He stared at the Sacred Royal Medallion in Qin Wentian's hand, but he didn't seem to care. The sharp eyes of the great roc flickered with an intense killing intent.
