Lin Xian`er's voice was melodious and pleasing to the ears. Her face was flushed red from the alcohol she had consumed, adding a tinge of shyness to her countenance. Her countenance was filled with emotions, and the killing power of that gentle expression, to Qin Wentian, didn't lose out in the slightest when compared to Hua Taixu and Gu Liufeng. Usually, this Lin Xian`er didn't display her charm, yet she was already a femme fatale. But right now, she was truly capable of bringing calamity to the masses, causing him to be unable to extricate himself.
Lou Bingyu cast a glance at Lin Xian`er. Although the words and actions of this woman made her feel somewhat inappropriate, she still felt that Lin Xian`er's character wasn't bad. If not, she wouldn't have taken that palm strike from Di Shi for Ye Lingshuang and the others. And even so, Lin Xian`er didn't mention this matter to Qin Wentian. Although her reputation wasn't good, her heart wasn't bad.
Naturally, the so-called 'bad reputation' was only what Lou Bingyu thought. She wasn't very experienced in the world and had heard many rumors about the Celestial Maiden Sect. Hence, she didn't have a good impression of them and felt that as a female, she shouldn't act in such a manner. But in truth, Lin Xian`er had never done anything that was out of line before. Right now, the ambiguous words she was saying was already Lin Xian`er's limit.
"Cough cough …" Qin Wentian coughed, he didn't look at Lin Xian`er's eyes. That pair of shy eyes of hers could even hook the souls of people away. No wonder the people of the Royal Sacred Region treated the Holy Maiden of the Celestial Maiden Sect as a source of calamity. If this Lin Xian`er really wanted to seduce someone, there wouldn't be many people who would be able to resist her charms. Not only that, she didn't even have the slightest bit of pretense.
"Tsk tsk, Junior Brother Qin is the top ranker of the Immortal Martial Realm, and now he even has the favor of Fairy Qin. How envious." Ji Feixue laughed, but he lowered his head, not looking at Lin Xian`er. His heart was pounding as he silently cursed at Lin Xian`er for being such a vixen. Even if that sentence wasn't directed at him, it would still cause a fire to burn in his heart, let alone Qin Wentian who was directly facing her.
"Xian 'er, stop teasing me." Qin Wentian calmed himself down and shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Xian 'er is speaking the truth." Lin Xian`er giggled, the shyness in her eyes caused the people in the surroundings to feel a sense of ecstasy. They silently mused that if Lin Xian`er could treat them like this, they would definitely have a good time with this vixen.
Qin Wentian was speechless. Staring at his expression, Lin Xian`er's beautiful eyes shone with a brilliant light. After which, she lifted up her wine cup and spoke in a low voice, "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. Congratulations to Sir Qin for obtaining the top ranking in the Immortal Martial Realm. Xian`er has to offer a toast to Sir Qin."
"Alright." At this moment, Qin Wentian glanced at Lin Xian`er once more. Although her face was still flushed red, the gaze she used to look at him was incomparably calm, without the slightest ripple. It was as though she didn't have any interest in him at all. The two of them clinked their cups together and drained the contents in a single gulp. The temperature of their bodies grew even more intense as the Astral Energy in their bodies churned madly. Even their Yuanfu was seething with rage.
"Bam!" Just when the spectators were still pondering over the shocking news of Qin Wentian obtaining the top ranking, traces of killing intent gushed forth, as though this wasn't the right time.
"So what if you are the top ranker of the Immortal Martial Realm? That merely represents your potential. No matter how much potential you have, if you die, you are nothing." A Cold voice rang out. The gazes of the spectators turned over, and when they saw Di Shi's silhouette, they all calmed down.
Everyone was very clear about the grudge between Di Shi and Qin Wentian. After Qin Wentian obtained the top ranking, the person who was the most unhappy was none other than Di Shi. Not only did he have a grudge with Qin Wentian for killing his younger brother, he was also the only one among the eight era-suppressing geniuses who didn't manage to enter the top ten. Not only that, he was also the one who was blasted out of the ranking monument by Qin Wentian. Di Shi naturally wasn't willing to acknowledge the Immortal Martial Realm's ranking monument.
Ji Feixue, Duan Han, Lou Bingyu and Lin Xian`er all frowned. Before this, when Di Shi fought against them, he who had broken through to the eighth level of Heavenly Dipper was in an extremely dangerous situation. If it wasn't for them joining forces, Ye Lingshuang and the others would have already been killed. Qin Wentian still didn't know about this.
At the banquet, the sounds of people eating and drinking rang out. Because of a single sentence from Di Shi, the entire banquet turned silent.
"How can I be compared to you, Di Shi? Ranked # 11 in the Immortal Martial Realm, you were defeated by junior apprentice brother Qin in a fair battle. After that, you acted to deal with Wentian's friend whose cultivation base was suppressed. You only have this little bit of ability. The things you do and the words you say will naturally be circulated out. Although the title of era-suppressing geniuses is just an empty title, if someone's name is still on the list, it wouldn't live up to the name. Junior brother Qin, I'm afraid you will have to replace someone in the future."
Ji Feixue coldly spoke. Qin Wentian's countenance turned cold as he asked, "Senior brother, you said he acted against my friend?"
"I was about to tell you about this. He has already broken through to the eighth level of Heavenly Dipper, and after he was expelled from the ranking monument by you, he acted against Ye Lingshuang and your friend. If it wasn't for Fairy Qin Wentian intervening, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Fairy Qin Wentian was even injured because of this. You should be thanking Fairy Qin Wentian instead."
Ji Feixue's words were naturally to remind Qin Wentian to be careful of Di Shi, revealing Di Shi's cultivation base as well as the things he had done in the past. This way, Qin Wentian would be prepared. If not, if Di Shi did something like this once, he would definitely do it again in the future.
An intense coldness abruptly gushed forth from Qin Wentian as he lunged towards Di Shi. Di Shi was similarly staring at him as he lifted his wine cup and drank a mouthful of wine, pointing his finger at Qin Wentian. His provocation was extremely obvious.
Qin Wentian didn't bother with Di Shi's provocation, yet his heart was already filled with an intense killing intent. Di Shi was already listed on the list of people he had to kill.
Gulping down another cup of wine, Qin Wentian ignored the burning sensation in his heart. He turned his gaze back to Lin Xian`er. Although Ji Feixue only mentioned it, he could already imagine that if it wasn't for Lin Xian`er acting, given Di Shi's strength, killing Ye Lingshuang and the rest would be as easy as flipping a palm. Lin Xian`er must have ignored her own injuries to obstruct Di Shi, buying time for Ji Feixue and the rest.
Not only that, if it wasn't for Ji Feixue mentioning it, Lin Xian`er wouldn't even have mentioned this matter. This caused Qin Wentian to feel an indescribable sense of gratitude.
"Xian`er is merely disapproving of your actions. Sir Qin, you don't have to overthink things. Since Fairy Qin has already treated Sir Qin as a friend, there's no need to thank me." Lin Xian`er gently smiled. Qin Wentian nodded his head, "Xian`er, you don't have to refer to me as Sir Qin in the future, just call me Wentian."
Lin Xian`er had a smile that was not a smile on her face as she stared at Qin Wentian. "Wentian, it's easier to say things this way. I'll let you take advantage of me."
At this moment, Wu Mu who was sitting on the stone platform in the middle of the lake had a smile on his face as he stared at the crowd. He then spoke, "Everyone, I'm sure you all wish to see the situation outside right? Since the banquet has already been prepared, let's add to the atmosphere and prepare to inscribe the rankings on the monument."
As the sound of Wu Mu's voice faded, everyone halted. The gazes of the crowd turned to the back of Wu Mu. Over there, there was a gigantic constellation monument with their names inscribed on it.
"Could this be the monument leading to the entrance of the Immortal Martial Realm? Even the rankings are inscribed on it? "someone exclaimed in shock.
"In that case, does this mean that the world monument we are in now is located within the space of the Immortal Martial Realm's ranking monument?" someone guessed.
"Haha, that's right, that's the monument outside. Your names are inscribed on it. Did you guys think that the rankings were created by us? We were the ones who inscribed the names inside, "Wu Mu laughed, not putting on any airs at all. Only now did the crowd understand.
"In that case, this place is the entrance and also the exit. We took a detour and returned to our original location. It's just that the scenery outside has changed?" Li Tian asked.
"Mhm, that's right." Wu Mu nodded. Everyone finally understood what was going on.
Only to see that at this moment, the ancient monument turned transparent. From here, one could actually see the situation outside clearly. Countless silhouettes stood outside the Immortal Martial Realm, waiting. When they saw these people, all of them were filled with deep shock.
Only now did they know that there were actually so many people waiting outside, waiting for the rankings to be released.
"Master is here." Lou Bingyu's beautiful eyes froze as she stared at the extraordinary silhouette standing on the stone pillar outside. It was none other than the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness.
As though she thought of something, Lou Bingyu sneakily glanced at Qin Wentian, a complicated expression could be seen in her eyes. If her master knew that not only did she fail to surpass Ji Feixue, she even became friends with Qin Wentian. Not only that, Qin Wentian even obtained the top ranker of the Immortal Martial Realm, what would her master think?
Di Shi's eyes narrowed as his countenance grew increasingly unsightly. Outside, he could see the experts from the supreme Di Clan waiting there.
Qin Wentian's gaze landed on that beautiful silhouette. Her gaze was filled with nervousness as she stared at the monument. Her dainty hands were tightly clenched as a hint of anticipation could be seen on her beautiful face. Upon seeing her expression, Qin Wentian felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Most probably, only for matters concerning him would that beautiful silhouette reveal such an expression of nervousness.
"Who is he?" Qin Wentian glanced at the old man beside Mo Qingcheng. This old man exuded an extraordinary aura. The experts from the Medicine Sovereign Valley stood respectfully behind him, and Mo Qingcheng would occasionally glance at him with nervousness. This involuntarily caused Qin Wentian to speculate. Could it be that this old man was the Medicine Sovereign?
Currently, there seemed to be many powerful characters arriving outside the Immortal Martial Realm. It wasn't impossible for the Medicine Sovereign to be here personally.
Separated by the monument, the people inside each had their own thoughts. Yet outside the Immortal Martial Realm, everyone was extremely nervous. The names on the monument vanished, they knew that the Immortal Martial Realm's rankings would soon appear.
A bright light flashed as the first name was engraved. The last name was actually an expert from the Divine Dragon Castle, causing those from the Divine Dragon Castle to feel somewhat disappointed.
Following which, the second name, the third name, and the rest of the names appeared.
"Princess Jiao Yang's name also appeared. She actually didn't even manage to enter the top twenty." Many people sighed in admiration. Those floating names were all extremely famous characters, but how many of them could actually enter the top ten?
"Bingyu hasn't appeared yet." At this moment, the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness felt a trace of nervousness in her heart. She hoped that Lou Bingyu's name would appear as late as possible.
"Di Shi, it's all up to you now." The countenances of those from the Di Clan were all filled with excitement. They wanted to see Di Shi's name appear in the top three rankings.
Every time a name was engraved, the hearts of the crowd would pound. When the top twenty names were engraved, there was already no one who wasn't nervous.
"None of the eight era-suppressing geniuses have appeared. Seems like all of them will be able to enter the top ten." The hearts of the crowd mused. Although Qin Wentian's name hadn't appeared yet, the crowd had already chosen to forget about him. However, there was one person who couldn't be forgotten, and that was none other than Mo Qingcheng. Her countenance was slightly flushed, she was extremely nervous. Wentian, he hasn't appeared yet.
Finally, when the twelfth name was engraved, many drew in a deep breath. It was finally here. Seems like the eight era-suppressing geniuses had all entered the top ten.
"Di Shi, you won't disappoint the Di Clan." Those from the Di Clan were all filled with excitement.
At this moment, the name of the eleventh ranker was engraved. The two words' Di Shi 'were imprinted into the eyes of the crowd.
Instantly, it was as though a tidal wave ruthlessly slammed into the hearts of countless people. At the same time, those from the Di Clan were all stunned.
Di Shi, one of the eight era-suppressing geniuses, Di Shi. His name, the eleventh ranker, was kicked out of the top ten!
