Within the Immortal Ripple Pavilion, a gentle breeze gusted by, fluttering the long hair of that delicate maiden. Lin Xian`er was different from what Qin Wentian had imagined. Before coming here, he had heard the evaluation of the Celestial Maiden Sect. Qin Wentian had thought that this was a woman proficient in the arts of charm, possessing a pair of mesmerizing eyes that could mesmerize the hearts of men.
But the truth was completely different from what Qin Wentian had imagined. Lin Xian`er's zither music was so elegant and clear, akin to a trickling stream, able to enter the hearts of men. She was extremely charming, without the slightest bit of seductiveness. Her eyes were so pure and clear, it was as though one could see the toughness and fragility in the depths of her heart.
This was the first time Qin Wentian had seen such a woman. She was different from all the other women in the world. In her eyes, within her fragility, there was an unwavering determination.
Not only Qin Wentian, the gazes of the others all trembled. Evidently, they too felt an intense contrast in their hearts. Among them, there were many geniuses with esteemed statuses. They came here with arrogance in their hearts, not because they wanted to subdue Lin Xian`er, but because they wanted to see what capabilities this maiden from the Celestial Maiden Sect had to be able to mesmerize the geniuses.
They all believed that their wills were extremely firm, how could they be seduced by the charm of a mere beauty? Hence, these geniuses all came here with a mocking attitude. They wanted to see how this maiden would mesmerize them.
The ending was undoubtedly their loss. From the start till the end, Lin Xian`er had never revealed any intentions of bewitching them. Even in that fragility, there was still a hint of pride.
"Hu …" Drawing in a deep breath, these geniuses all felt ashamed in their hearts. Didn't Qin Wentian also have the same thoughts as the others? But the more he did so, the more shocked he was in his heart. Just a single glance from this maiden was enough to cause such emotions to appear in their hearts.
"Everyone has come from afar, Xian`er pays her respects." Lin Xian`er smiled. Her smile was as pure and peaceful as ever, causing people to feel a sense of loneliness. It was as though she was born this way.
"Fairy, you've really broadened my horizons. Just having a glance at you makes this trip worth it." Shang Tong sighed with emotion. Admiration came from the bottom of his heart, and his tone carried a trace of apology.
"Lin Xian`er, you are truly powerful. The moment you appeared, you caused all these geniuses to be speechless." A voice drifted over from afar. After which, a terrifying demonic qi permeated the air. In that direction, a terrifying blood-eyed demonic wolf could be seen pulling a carriage in the air, whistling through the air. An instant later, it appeared in this space.
With a loud bang, the carriage was torn into pieces. An incomparably demonic and domineering young man walked out, walking on the back of the Blood-eyed Demonic Wolf, looking extremely graceful.
"The Supreme Demon Realm's Saint." Everyone glanced at the young man and their hearts trembled. The Saint of the Supreme Demon Realm was an extremely powerful figure.
However, Lin Xian`er merely casually glanced at him as she slowly spoke, "Since the geniuses gathered here today, I'm sure many of you are here to see Xian`er make a fool of herself. Since this is the case, I'll play a tune for you all, I hope you will kindly accept it."
As the sound of her voice faded, Lin Xian`er's aura abruptly changed. Exuding a sense of arrogance, her ten fingers lightly stroked the zither as she spoke again, "For those who have no business here, please leave quickly, lest Xian`er accidentally injure you."
"Fairy, what an arrogant tone." Another figure spoke out. The gazes of the crowd turned to the top of a building in the north. Over there, a figure clad in green stood there, his long hair fluttering in the wind, exuding an incomparably carefree aura. Evidently, this was an extraordinary character, and was definitely a Heaven Chosen from one of the major sects in the Royal Sacred Region.
"Today, Xian`er wants to see which of the geniuses here can rank higher in the Immortal Martial Realm." Lin Xian`er faintly spoke. After which, the melody of her zither abruptly rang out. Streams of light flowed from Lin Xian`er's ten fingers, extending outwards. At the instant the melody of her zither rang out, the entire space abruptly turned silent, as though they had fallen into a state of immersion.
Silence, tranquility, bringing everyone into a state of emptiness. Qin Wentian quietly listened, and very swiftly, an illusion appeared in his mind. In this entire space, only he and Lin Xian`er remained.
Lin Xian`er sat there, playing her zither, while he sat opposite her, listening to the melody. In this entire space, there were only the two of them.
"Illusionary realm." Qin Wentian's heart was as clear as a mirror. The melody of the zither had actually brought him into an illusionary realm, yet he didn't intentionally try to break free from it. From Lin Xian`er's words, it seemed that she wanted to contend against the others. Since that was the case, he wanted to see what methods Lin Xian`er had.
The melody of the zither was so graceful and moving. Qin Wentian accompanied her just like that, listening to her melody as he sunk deep into it. After a long time, they helped each other in times of hardship, sharing each other's hearts. Such feelings were pure and simple, without any impurities at all. The melody of the zither had completely brought him into a world of tranquility, abandoning all the worries and conflicts in the world. With only a beautiful woman playing the zither, this kind of spiritual liberation was so relaxing and wondrous.
Qin Wentian felt as though he had accompanied Lin Xian`er for a very long time. The two of them didn't speak, yet it was as though they already knew each other. Just a single melody of the zither was able to bring him into such a state.
"Sir, you can speak to me, I can hear your inner thoughts." Lin Xian`er inclined her head and stared at Qin Wentian as she smiled. Her words caused Qin Wentian's heart to violently tremble as he stared at her face.
"Fairy, what a powerful illusionary realm." It was as though Qin Wentian had really spoken in the illusionary realm. His heart trembled even more. Back then when he was in the Royal Tomb of Grand Xia, he couldn't differentiate between reality and illusion. But now, this illusionary realm actually had the same feeling as he did back then. From this, one could see how powerful this illusionary realm was.
"However, it's not difficult for Sir to break free." Lin Xian`er smiled. "I've yet to ask for Sir's name."
"Qin Wentian."
"So it's Sir Qin who broke the record of the Battle Sword Sect. Sir Qin has a Holy Maiden as your wife, no wonder you don't have the slightest bit of affection for Xian`er. Also, your will is so resolute, you must have experienced similar illusionary realms before, right?" Lin Xian`er continued, it was as though she could see through Qin Wentian.
"I've experienced a dream before, and it can only be stronger and not weaker compared to Fairy's illusionary realm." Qin Wentian didn't hide anything.
"So this is the case. Sir Qin has never been famous in the Royal Sacred Region before, yet you suddenly rose up and even obtained the heart of the Holy Maiden. You must have come from a faraway land, and to be able to reach this step, you must have experienced countless hardships. No wonder your will is so resolute. How can you be compared to those geniuses from the major powers?" Lin Xian`er's voice was sincere, as though she regretted not meeting him earlier.
"Fairy praises me too much. There are countless geniuses from the major powers in the Royal Sacred Region. Although I, Qin Wentian, wouldn't look down on the heroes of the world. For example, Fairy has truly broadened my horizons," Qin Wentian sincerely replied.
"Among these geniuses, Xian`er and Sir Qin hit it off quite well. It's just that if there's a day when we have no choice but to face each other, how can I bear to do so?" As the sound of Lin Xian`er's voice faded, the melody suddenly changed. The tranquil melody vanished completely, replaced by a faint killing intent. It was as though a close friend had turned into an enemy, and had no choice but to face each other with weapons, filled with helplessness.
"Fairy's words are actually so confident. Are you certain that you can defeat me?" Qin Wentian spoke. Lin Xian`er actually said that she couldn't bear to act against him. Such arrogance didn't seem to be something that would come out from the mouth of that weak and delicate maiden.
Lin Xian`er didn't reply. The melody of the zither grew more and more urgent, akin to a raging tempest. The armored horses galloped forward, and the entire space was suddenly enveloped by a desolate killing intent. Qin Wentian only felt that the entire space was filled with killing intent. That weak and delicate maiden was still lowering her head and playing a melody of desolation.
"Sir, be careful." Lin Xian`er faintly spoke. Instantly, within the melody of her zither, numerous terrifying blades of killing intent erupted forth, soundless and as fast as lightning, stabbing towards Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's aura erupted forth as his demeanor changed. Lifting his palms, he blasted out a draconic imprint. Instantly, the draconic roars echoed out, blasting away the sharp blades.
At the same time, Qin Wentian stepped out as sword qi gushed forth. A terrifying sword might permeated the entire space as he stepped towards Lin Xian`er. He was also an extremely decisive person. Since Lin Xian`er wanted to probe him, he would directly act.
Every step he took caused sword qi to surge up the skies. However, Lin Xian`er's zither melody grew more and more urgent, blotting out the skies and covering the earth. Qin Wentian felt as though he was being enveloped by a mysterious energy, as a feeling of extreme agony flooded his entire body. However, his gaze was incomparably resolute, and every step he took brought forth a towering sword might.
Lin Xian`er stood up. Her silhouette flickered as her opponent's body actually split into two. In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were filled with Lin Xian`er's silhouettes. Each and every one of them was playing the zither, causing Qin Wentian to feel his will becoming chaotic, as though he was about to fall into a trap.
"How powerful." The blood in Qin Wentian's body seethed as a vertical pupil appeared in the center of his brows. Stretching out his palms, a blood-colored ancient halberd materialized, exuding a towering blood might.
"BANG!" Sword qi gushed forth, transforming into raging waves. Boundless sword might descended from the heavens, slashing towards Lin Xian`er's silhouettes.
"Bzzz!" Lin Xian`er's silhouettes waved their palms at the same time. On the surface of the zither, numerous needle-like beams of killing light shot towards Qin Wentian, as though he had nowhere to hide.
"DIE!" Qin Wentian unleashed the Seven Annihilations Swordplay to the extreme. As he stomped down, sword melody ravaged the air. Lin Xian`er's body felt as though it was about to be torn apart. But at this moment, a silhouette appeared in the air. Qin Wentian seemed to have grown eyes on the top of his head. Stepping out, the blood-colored ancient halberd slashed out in rage. In that instant, the ancient halberd moved soundlessly, as fast as lightning.
"Chi …" Lin Xian`er's body was directly penetrated by the halberd. But at the same instant, a terrifying sense of danger bore down on her. Behind Qin Wentian, a palm directly slammed down.
Astral light erupted, Stellar Transposition. Qin Wentian's silhouette directly vanished, transforming into a series of afterimages as he sped forward. The ancient halberd in his hands stabbed out with an indomitable will. The location he was attacking was none other than the location where Lin Xian`er was playing her zither. However, at this moment, there was no one there.
Behind Qin Wentian, Lin Xian`er's silhouette stood there. An expression of astonishment appeared on her face as her beautiful eyes gleamed with sharpness.
"Bzzz!" Abruptly, a fluctuation of energy appeared in that empty location. After which, Lin Xian`er's silhouette appeared once more, rapidly retreating. She appeared, but the ancient halberd seemed to have vanished. A light sound rang out, and Lin Xian`er, who was behind her, had an expression of shock on her face. After which, she directly transformed into thin air. And in front of him, where Lin Xian`er's heart was, a blood-colored ancient halberd could be seen.
Lin Xian`er, who was pierced by the halberd, inclined her head and stared at Qin Wentian. After which, she smiled, "Sir Qin, how did you discover it?"
"Fairy's illusions are too shocking." Qin Wentian sighed, but he didn't reply. How powerful was his perception? Back then when he was at Yuanfu, he could already see through the Luo River. But today, he was almost fooled by Lin Xian`er. At the instant Lin Xian`er stood up, she was already using his eyes to deceive his perception.
"But I still lost." Lin Xian`er laughed. Abruptly, everything vanished. Qin Wentian discovered that he was still standing at his original location, while Lin Xian`er was still sitting on the Immortal Ripple Pavilion. It was as though everything that happened earlier was nothing but a dream.
Not only Qin Wentian, everyone else also awoke from their illusions. Their hearts were incomparably shaken, and some of the Heaven's Chosen even had blood seeping out of their mouths, their countenances pale. The disciples of the Battle Sword Sect beside Qin Wentian all had pale countenances, as expressions of shame could be seen in their eyes. This made Qin Wentian understand that earlier, Lin Xian`er had actually fought against all the Heaven's Chosen.
"Victory and defeat have yet to be determined, why did Fairy withdraw?" The Saint Child of the Supreme Demon Sect's aura gushed forth, as though he hadn't had his fill of battles.
"Xian`er has already been defeated once." Lin Xian`er slowly spoke. After which, her gaze landed on Qin Wentian. "The judgement of the envoys from the Immortal Martial Realm is truly sharp. Among all the Heaven's Chosen here, Sir Qin is the number one."
