Three Ascendants of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan had fallen, and Ouyang Kuangsheng's kin controlled the entire clan. The wedding between Ouyang Kuangsheng and Jiang Ting was naturally carried out smoothly, but after such a thing happened, the atmosphere was no longer the same. But to Ouyang Kuangsheng and Jiang Ting, there were already no regrets.
If it wasn't for Qin Wentian bringing so many experts here today, the consequences would be unimaginable. Back then when Ouyang Kuangsheng befriended Qin Wentian, he only felt that Qin Wentian was interesting and had outstanding talent. Who would have thought that today's outcome would be like this? He didn't say the word 'thank you'. There was no need to use the word 'thanks' to express the feelings between brothers. Only Jiang Ting thanked Qin Wentian.
After the banquet, the experts from the various major powers all departed, informing their respective clans and sects of what happened here. Very swiftly, this news spread throughout the Azure Continent.
As for Qin Wentian, he bid farewell to Ouyang Kuangsheng after the banquet and led his men towards the Azure Emperor Palace.
The transcendent power of the Azure Continent, the Palace Lord of the Azure Emperor Palace personally led his men to welcome Qin Wentian, expressing their willingness to form an alliance. Such an initiative caused many to silently praise the Azure Emperor Palace for its boldness.
Based on the brilliance Qin Wentian had displayed in the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, the ending of the Azure Emperor Palace was already decided. By sending their sect to welcome Qin Wentian, they could gain the reputation of forming an alliance. But if they waited for Qin Wentian and the rest to enter the Azure Emperor Palace, they would be forced to submit using their strength.
Naturally, there was another option. The people of the Azure Emperor Palace could give up all of their foundations and leave the sect, directly handing it over to Qin Wentian and the others. In that case, the Azure Emperor Palace would become a laughing stock and the Azure Emperor Palace in Grand Xia would still belong to Qin Wentian.
To them, taking the initiative to submit was the best ending. But since the Azure Emperor Palace Lord was able to do this, his state of mind was also extraordinary. The restructuring of the Azure Emperor Palace was already inevitable.
When Qin Wentian ascended the stairs to the Azure Emperor Palace, those who had once made things difficult for him in the Emperor Star Academy were all trembling in fear. However, Qin Wentian didn't even spare them a glance. They couldn't help but to mock themselves in their hearts. In the eyes of this young man who had grown up, their existences were simply insignificant.
Within the great hall of the Azure Emperor Palace, Qin Wentian sat on the palace lord's throne. Fairy Qingmei and Old Xing, the two ascendants stood on his left and right. Although they were seniors of Qin Wentian, now that Qin Wentian was the palace lord of the Azure Emperor Palace, in such a formal setting, Qin Wentian would naturally be the leader. They were also willing to serve as a foil.
The sect leader of the Mystic Moon Hall and the black-robed old lady sat on the seats of honor. Zong Yi from the Zong Clan, Bing Yuchan from the Ice Spirit Sect, and the clan leader of the White Deer Institute were seated below. The people in the great hall were all important characters of the Azure Emperor Palace.
And at this moment, the original palace lord of the Azure Emperor Palace stood below, staring at the young man before him as he sighed in his heart. The new generation would always surpass the old, the times were changing too quickly. This demon-level genius who wasn't even thirty yet killed Ouyang Mutian with a cultivation base at the Heavenly Dipper Realm. His eyes were so deep and sharp that no one could see through him. In the face of so many ascendants as well as him, the palace lord, Qin Wentian could still be so calm and collected.
This young man had the heart of a ferocious tiger, his ambitions higher than the heavens. A mere Azure Emperor Palace, or even the entire Grand Xia Empire, would only be a part of his exciting life.
"I heard that there's still a supreme elder in the Azure Emperor Palace. Where is he?" Qin Wentian stared at the Azure Emperor Palace Lord as he emotionlessly spoke. The Azure Emperor Palace had existed for so many years, and there were even shadows of the Azure Emperor's faction within the sect. But in reality, this faction only existed in name.
The Azure Emperor Palace Lord started, he didn't know how to reply. After a moment of silence, he replied, "The supreme elder prefers peace and quiet, please don't blame him."
"Might as well. Since he prefers peace and quiet, it's best for him to cultivate in the depths of the mountains. It's too cruel to ask him to bother about the secular world. From today onwards, the position of supreme elder will be taken over by Fairy Qingmei. She will be in charge of managing the affairs of the Azure Emperor Palace." Qin Wentian calmly spoke. The original palace lord's countenance stiffened as his heart trembled, silently musing at how ruthless this young man was.
"In the future, you will take on the role of the vice palace lord of the Azure Emperor Palace. How about it?" Qin Wentian stared at the original palace lord, Chu Lanjiang.
Chu Lanjiang's heart trembled, but he soon nodded his head, "Okay."
Although he knew this was unavoidable, he couldn't help but to sigh in his heart. As a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant, he was actually appointed as a vice palace lord. In the entire transcendent power of Grand Xia, he should be the only one with such a title. For the other ascendants, they were either old ancestor-level characters, or clan leaders of their respective sects, or supreme elders.
Naturally, Chu Lanjiang could also choose to leave. But if he did so, he wouldn't be able to set his heart at ease. After all, this was the foundation of his blood, sweat, and tears. Not only that, in the depths of his heart, there was still a faint hope that Qin Wentian would be able to bring the Azure Emperor Palace to a new height.
"Old Xing will still be in charge of the Punishment Hall. Zong Yi, Bing Yuchan, Patriarch Bailu, the three of you will assist the supreme elder, Fairy Qingmei, and Old Xing in reorganizing the Azure Emperor Palace." Qin Wentian ordered Chu Lanjiang. Chu Lanjiang naturally understood Qin Wentian's meaning. Reorganizing the Azure Emperor Palace was a must.
"Wentian, why don't our Mystic Moon Hall join the Azure Emperor Palace as well?" At this moment, the sect leader of the Mystic Moon Hall spoke to Qin Wentian, her words causing the hearts of everyone present to tremble. Although the Mystic Moon Hall had always fought side by side with Qin Wentian, they were still a transcendent power that belonged to Grand Xia. Merging into the Azure Emperor Palace, this was no small matter.
With regards to this matter, the sect leader and the black-robed old matriarch had already discussed it before coming to this decision. They knew that Qin Wentian's ambition was to unify Grand Xia, and based on Qin Wentian's personality, he wouldn't mistreat them. Since Grand Xia was unified, and all the transcendent powers submitted to the Azure Emperor Palace, what would the Mystic Moon Hall do? Merging into the Azure Emperor Palace was a good choice.
"Right." Qin Wentian straightforwardly nodded his head in agreement. "Sect Leader, the two of you will also take on the position of vice palace lords, in charge of the Mystic Moon Hall."
The leader of the Mystic Moon Hall started. She stared at the smile on Qin Wentian's face as she bitterly smiled, "Seems like you've already made up your mind."
The Mystic Moon Hall of the Azure Emperor Palace would still be the Mystic Moon Hall, and they would still be in charge of it. This was indeed the best possible scenario.
Qin Wentian smiled as he stared at everyone, "Okay, I'll have to trouble all of you for the next few days."
"You're preparing to slack off again?" Luo Huan laughed as she stared at Qin Wentian. When she saw Qin Wentian sitting on the throne, her heart couldn't calm down at all. Back then, she had once saved a young man, yet he had already achieved such accomplishments today. If this didn't happen in reality, she wouldn't even dare to believe it.
"Sister Luo Huan, you have to help me manage my resources well." Qin Wentian laughed. Right now, Luo Huan also had a lot of authority in her hands. He heard that the Azure Emperor Palace was extremely wealthy, having control over an entire auction street, as well as many transaction pavilions, marketplaces and inns.
...
The Azure Emperor Palace began a grandiose reorganization. The experts of the original Azure Emperor Palace were all redistributed. The Zong Clan, Ice Spirit Sect, White Deer Institute, Supreme Di Clan and others all expanded their strength. The Punishment Hall under Old Xing naturally did the same as well. However, the information division of the Celestial Lake Palace, with Fairy Qingmei as the leader, didn't increase their manpower. They only took over the information division of the original Azure Emperor Palace, and the original strength of the Azure Emperor Palace was split up.
Many other matters were extremely complicated, but Qin Wentian didn't have to do anything, handing all these trifling matters over to them. He was happy to be idle.
As for the outside world, a huge wave of commotion had already erupted.
Qin Wentian's return, annihilating the three ascendants of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, forming an alliance with the Jiang Clan, domineeringly taking control of the Azure Emperor Palace. This news instantly circulated throughout Grand Xia, and after all, on the day of the marriage alliance between the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and the Jiang Clan, the various transcendent powers of Grand Xia had sent people over.
For a period of time, the entire Grand Xia was in an uproar, discussing about the legendary character who had just returned.
In this storm, the Pill Emperor Hall was the first to bear the brunt of it. The Pill Emperor Hall wasn't the Azure Emperor Palace. Back then, Qin Wentian had already left a message saying that he would raze the Pill Emperor Hall to the ground. Now that he had returned, the moment Qin Wentian led his forces into the Pill Emperor Hall, it would only be a massacre. The experts of the Pill Emperor Hall were all filled with trepidation. The first thing they did was to dispatch experts to the Hua Clan, the Star-Seizing Manor, the Wang Clan of the War Continent, the Shi Clan of Ginkou, and the Yan Prefecture. More than half of the transcendent powers in the nine continents sent their experts to pay a visit. The crowd felt as though they could smell a storm brewing.
Among these transcendent powers, some had a grudge against Qin Wentian, and some had something to do with the death of the Azure Emperor back then. Now that they saw a character even more tyrannical than the Azure Emperor rising up, they had to do something.
Given Qin Wentian's current domineering attitude, killing three ascendants of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and ascending to the Azure Emperor Palace, it could be said that those who submit will prosper, those who defy will perish. If this continued on, they were worried that in the entire Grand Xia, only Qin Wentian would be left.
At the same time, in the Ginkou Continent, there was an extremely terrifying power in the dark. This power wasn't a transcendent power, but none of the transcendent powers in Grand Xia dared to underestimate them. In fact, they even felt a sense of reverence towards them.
Today, the Pill Emperor of the Pill Emperor Hall personally came here.
"Pill Emperor, what brings you here today?" In a dimly lit pavilion, the Pill Emperor was led here. The person who received him was a grey-robed man, standing there with his back facing the Pill Emperor, his entire person resembling a specter in the darkness.
"Darkshadow Sovereign, how have you been?" The Pill Emperor stared at the back of the grey-robed man as he faintly spoke.
A light laugh rang out as the grey-robed man turned and stared at the Pill Emperor. The grey-robed man's entire body was shrouded, only revealing a pair of blood-red eyes that exuded a terrifying aura.
"The Pill Emperor just paid a huge price to exchange for a fifth-ranked divine weapon, and now you're here to look for me? How extravagant." The grey-robed man sinisterly laughed. "Speak, who do you want me to kill?"
"Qin Wentian." The Pill Emperor spoke. Being able to force the Pill Emperor to hire someone to assassinate Qin Wentian, one could very well imagine how much pressure Qin Wentian gave the Pill Emperor Hall.
"Sure, but I'm afraid your Pill Emperor Hall won't be able to afford it." The grey-robed man laughed.
"A peak-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign, even if he has the combat prowess of a Celestial Phenomenon, can it be compared to the various transcendent powers back then?" The Pill Emperor coldly spoke.
"The Azure Emperor? How can his price be compared to Qin Wentian? Qin Wentian is someone who killed a disciple of the Royal Sacred Sect and even managed to escape unscathed. The price to kill him is a hundred times higher than the Azure Emperor. You better think carefully. " The blood-red eyes stared at the Pill Emperor, causing his heart to tremble violently. Only now did he realize how terrifying this young man was!
