The buried immortal with the flute in his hands was forced back. His hands were slanted to the side as the raging wind howled. The killing intent radiating from him grew increasingly terrifying. Inclining his head, his eyes flickered with an unexcelled might as he stared at Qin Wentian.
"Bzzz!" Afterimages appeared, it was impossible to see how fast he was moving. Qin Wentian even closed his eyes as his sword intent abruptly permeated the air. He took a large step forward as a sword imprint appeared in the air.
"DIE!" With a wave of his palms, the omnipresent sword might whistled through the air, causing rumbling sounds to echo out unceasingly. It was as though the sword qi was being blocked unceasingly.
However, the raging wind grew more and more terrifying, even enveloping Qin Wentian within it. A fearsome violet light flashed within the raging wind, akin to an apocalyptic tempest, as it slashed towards Qin Wentian. Quinn, Fan Miaoyu and Fan Miaoyu who were outside trembled involuntarily when they saw this scene. That buried immortal danced in the wind, it was impossible to see where he was. It was as though he was a part of this tempest.
"What should we do?" Fan Miaoyu's countenance was as pale as paper, she stared at Quinn with a pleading gaze. At this moment, she felt completely helpless. She truly didn't wish for a character as magnificent as Qin Wentian to die here. But when that buried immortal unleashed his true strength, he was basically an invincible existence to them.
Qin Wentian's body gleamed with a terrifying demonic light, resembling a supreme demon king that stood tall on the ground. His Astral Nova appeared, exuding a fearsome sword might. The surface of the Astral Nova shimmered with light that seemed capable of slicing through everything. Rumbling sounds rang out as the sword pierced through the air, slashing towards the tempest. The terrifying screeching sound pierced the eardrums of those who heard it. Several cracks appeared on the tempest, but because of the speed at which it revolved, the cracks instantly healed.
"So strong. To think that the fusion of True Meanings can be used in a mystic art to such a frightening extent." Qin Wentian's heart trembled. His four Yuanfu roared as his Divine Energy gushed into his palms. Runic light shone resplendently as the power of his true intent circulated within his palms. With a roar of rage, Qin Wentian rushed out, manifesting numerous demon-like silhouettes that could pluck stars from the sky, suppressing immortals and devils. At this instant, an opening actually appeared in the tempest as Qin Wentian transformed into a great roc, instantly fleeing into the distance.
"Buzz!" The windstorm churned and soared up into the air, sweeping up the sand in its wake as it chased after Qin Wentian with the power to destroy the heavens and earth.
Qin Wentian's footsteps were extremely quick as a spatial scroll appeared in his hands. After which, he abruptly activated it, wrapping it around his body as he vanished from his original location, reappearing in the distance. That tempest continued chasing after him, and gradually, it was far away from Quinn and Fan Miaoyu's line of sight.
"He's become so strong." Great waves rocked Fan Miaoyu's heart. She simply had no way to imagine how Qin Wentian managed to accomplish such a leap in strength. Compared to her back then on the Sacred Battle Platform, Qin Wentian wasn't merely a level stronger.
"Since he can suppress even era-suppressing geniuses, it's not strange for him to become a legend." Quinn laughed in a carefree manner. After which, he stepped out and departed in a carefree manner, not bothering to look at Qin Wentian anymore. Since Qin Wentian had the interspatial scroll, he should be able to escape from the pursuit of that buried immortal.
Fan Miaoyu glanced at the female who led the buried immortal towards her as she icily spoke, "Do you still remember mocking him back then in the Royal Sacred Sect? How ironic."
After speaking, Fan Miaoyu also departed. Although she hated this female for leading the buried immortal to her, Fan Miaoyu didn't have the ability to do anything to her.
The female turned ashen as she departed as well. Other than anger, there was also a trace of desolation in her eyes. She was a Heaven's Chosen from the Grand Shang Faction. Even after joining the Royal Sacred Sect, she was still extremely dazzling, having comprehended three types of true intents and had extraordinary combat prowess. But in this immortal palace, she couldn't find any value in her existence. She was simply too weak. Although the people here were all at the Heavenly Dipper Realm, she could clearly feel how tiny and insignificant she was.
Wanting to obtain immortal arts or immortal weapons was undoubtedly the ravings of a lunatic. Now, it was time for her to leave. Other than suffering a blow to her confidence, she didn't gain anything else. However, she understood that there would always be a sky beyond a sky.
When she arrived at the exit of the immortal palace, she actually saw quite a few people waiting there. She walked up and called out to the two people in the lead, "Senior Xia Sheng, Senior Zai Qiu."
The gazes of everyone turned to her. Xia Sheng asked, "Did you gain anything?"
"Nope." The female shook her head. "Buried immortals are simply too powerful, there's no way for us to win against them. This time around, our Royal Sacred Sect must have lost many geniuses. Even junior brother Sun Qing …"
When Sun Qing was mentioned, the countenances of Xia Sheng and Zai Qiu instantly turned incredibly unsightly. Zai Qiu coldly continued, "If it wasn't for the fact that those two didn't listen to our orders, how could Sun Qing have died?"
"Senior brother, are you talking about Qin Wentian and Quinn?" When the female thought of Qin Wentian, hatred flickered in her eyes. This person had a deep grudge with the Grand Shang Faction, but the Battle Sword Faction wouldn't allow him to die unless Xia Sheng and Zai Qiu wanted to deal with him.
Not only that, Qin Wentian's strength had improved so rapidly. In the future, he would only grow more and more terrifying … As she thought of this, flames of jealousy burned in her heart. "Not long ago, I met the two of them. They met a buried immortal and actually led the buried immortal to me, almost causing me to die. Since they did such a thing to me, I'm sure they would do the same to their fellow sect members as well."
The countenances of Zai Qiu and Xia Sheng grew increasingly unsightly. In Zai Qiu's eyes, traces of killing intent could be seen flickering within. He then spoke to the female, "Right now, there are quite a few buried immortals in this desolate land. It's already impossible for us to join forces to hunt them down. We can only come again if there's an opportunity. As for the other matters, let's talk after we leave this place."
"Hua Taixu hasn't returned yet. Should we wait a little longer?" Someone from the Core Faction asked.
"No need. This immortal palace is strange. It's hard to enter, but it's very easy to exit." Xia Sheng shook his head. The others didn't say anything more and all returned, leaving the immortal palace. They knew that after they left, they wouldn't have another chance to enter again. Even if they did, it would be useless.
After these people exited, the expert surnamed Li sat in meditation outside. He knew that even with such a large group of people, they wouldn't have much of a harvest. He could only sigh and return. If they wanted to conquer this immortal palace, it was unknown how long they would have to wait. This group of people had the same information as those who came before. The strength of the buried immortals was extremely high, and they were invincible at the same level. It was just that this group of people seemed to know some things. There was a high possibility that there was a supreme expert waiting for a successor in this immortal palace.
"If our Royal Sacred Sect can produce a supreme character and obtain the inheritance of the Immortal Palace Lord, his future achievements would definitely be unprecedented." The expert surnamed Li mused as he sighed again. However, he didn't know when such a character would appear.
Several days later, the group of people all returned to the Royal Sacred Sect and entered closed-door seclusion. Although they didn't have many harvests during this trip, the strength of many of them had improved greatly.
Quinn also returned to the Battle Sword Faction of the Royal Sacred Sect. After that, Xia Sheng sent out a summons for those who entered the immortal palace this time around to gather together. There was something they wanted to discuss, and everyone happily departed.
Siko and Quinn traveled together. On the way, Siko reminded Quinn, "Back then you didn't save Sun Qing, he might bear a grudge against you. You have to be more careful this time around."
"In the territory of the Core Faction of the Royal Sacred Sect, even if Zai Qiu and Xia Sheng hate me, they can't possibly act against me in front of so many people." Quinn smiled and shook his head, appearing as carefree as ever. Although he knew that Sun Qing and Xia Sheng's relationship was extremely good, he did save Fan Miaoyu back then. Who could say that he was in the wrong?
"The human heart is unfathomable. You are frank and open, but not everyone in the world is as pedantic as you. In any case, if there's anything wrong, just retreat." Siko and Quinn had different personalities. In Siko's eyes, Quinn was too righteous, just like his sword.
"Right." Quinn smiled and nodded. The two of them continued on their way, and when they met Fan Miaoyu, Quinn couldn't help but to smile and greet her.
Fan Miaoyu had always been very grateful to Quinn. Back then in the immortal palace, Quinn saved her life. Not only that, his character was upright, radiant, and his talent was also extremely high.
"Senior, has Qin Wentian not returned yet?" Fan Miaoyu smiled as she asked.
"Nope, I wonder what good fortune he would encounter in there. But that fellow, there's no need for us to worry about him." Quinn laughed. Fan Miaoyu nodded her head, and not long after, they arrived at the location of the Core Faction of the Royal Sacred Sect. Up ahead, there was a public square with a banquet prepared. Zai Qiu was clad in luxurious robes and stood at the very front. Upon seeing Quinn's arrival, his sharp eyes flickered with a cold light.
Quinn frowned, it was as though he could sense the unfriendliness in Zai Qiu's eyes. But an instant later, he relaxed. It was only normal for Zai Qiu to hate him for Sun Qing's death.
"Quinn, do you know your crimes?" Quinn and the two others just landed on the ground when Zai Qiu's cold voice drifted over. Quinn's countenance flickered as he asked, "Zai Qiu, what do you mean by this?"
"Senior Uncle Ji once said that everyone in the immortal palace has to listen to the commands of Xia Sheng and me. Yet you disobeyed the command. This is the first crime. In the immortal palace, we are all disciples of the same sect. Yet you led the buried immortal to your own sect, causing a calamity to befall you. This is the second crime. Both crimes are unforgivable."
Zai Qiu's killing intent flashed in his eyes. He didn't feign civility, nor did he exchange pleasantries. He directly stated his reasons, using righteousness to suppress Quinn. Evidently, the second crime was sufficient to take Quinn's life.
"Quinn, let's go." Siko transmitted his voice to Quinn.
"The first crime happened in an emergency, I didn't even have time to think. As for the second crime, it's complete nonsense." Quinn coldly replied.
"Is that so? Junior sister Shang can be my witness." Zai Qiu stared at the maiden from the Grand Shang Faction.
"You are despicable." Fan Miaoyu berated. "Clearly, she was the one who did such a despicable thing."
"Fan Miaoyu, although Quinn saved your life, if you continue to distort the truth because of him, don't blame me for being impolite." Zai Qiu icily spoke, his killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"On what basis should your words be the truth, while I'm distorting the truth?" Fan Miaoyu retorted.
"Because, my surname is Zai!" A tyrannical aura gushed forth from Zai Qiu.
The surname of Zai, the surname of the Sacred Emperor of the Royal Sacred Sect!
