The constellation was slashed apart. Two constellations were cleaved apart at the same time, cleanly and cleanly.
The familiar sky once again appeared above Qin Wentian. At the instant he slashed out with his sword, his entire aura seemed to have dissipated as his countenance turned as pale as paper.
Back then, he once transformed into a great roc and unleashed the Immortal Vanquishing Swordplay. This immortal art was different from the other immortal arts he had cultivated. It required him to burn his own self as the price to unleash the strongest attack, drawing out all of his vitality, including his life force. Qin Wentian didn't know that if it wasn't for the fact that his life force was incomparably vigorous, he wouldn't have been able to endure the repeated usage of the Immortal Vanquishing Swordplay.
However, the might of this sword strike was clear to see. His original strength was already much stronger compared to when he transformed into a great roc. Hence, it was much easier to control the power of the demon divinities in the eight directions.
The spectators only saw a beam of sword light suddenly appearing in the airspace above the sealed battlefield. This beam of sword light tore apart the sky and after that, the constellation vanished.
Their hearts pounded violently. Has the battle ended?
Where did that beam of sword light come from? Did Qin Wentian die?
The grey-robed old man and Qin Wentian both appeared in the air at the same time. The two of them stood there unmoving. Qin Wentian wielded the demon sword in his left hand as sword might circulated around him. His robes were tattered and his entire body was dyed red with fresh blood. One could see how intense the battle was.
The grey-robed old man quietly stood there, there weren't any injuries on his body. His eyes were cold to the extreme, causing people to feel fear.
"Brother-in-law." Mo Feng and Ling Yue mumbled, their gazes unmoving as they stared at Qin Wentian. Mo Qingcheng had already stepped out and instantly appeared beside Qin Wentian. She took out a medicinal pill and directly fed it into Qin Wentian's mouth.
Qin Wentian swallowed it and took out a set of white robes. Mo Qingcheng received it and draped it over Qin Wentian, acting like a virtuous wife. She didn't say anything or ask anything. She could sense that right now, Qin Wentian wasn't in a good condition. It seemed that he had been suppressing his injuries.
"Let's go." Mo Qingcheng spoke. The experts of the Mo Residence all nodded as they started to retreat. The silver roc flew to Qin Wentian's feet and with a flap of its wings, it retreated. Qin Wentian already returned the demon sword to its original position. His gaze was still fixed on the grey-robed old man ahead of him. Upon seeing the coldness in his eyes, the grey-robed old man didn't move an inch.
The silvery roc whistled through the air as its silhouette gradually vanished. During this process, the Greencloud Sovereign's countenance turned ashen but he didn't act recklessly. At this moment, he felt a chill in his heart. Qin Wentian actually didn't die? Even with such an attack, he still failed to kill Qin Wentian?
He looked at the grey-robed old man, and with a soft sound, the grey-robed old man coughed up a mouthful of blood. His face instantly turned pale, and the aura in his body fluctuated. His body trembled slightly as if he was in extreme pain.
"Phew …" Taking a deep breath, the grey-robed elder stabilized his fluctuating aura and stared at the disappearing figure.
It had failed. The assassination attempt had actually ended in failure.
"I won't accept your mission." The grey-robed elder stared at the Greencloud Sovereign.
"Why? The battle has yet to end and Qin Wentian is already an arrow at the end of its flight. Why didn't you kill him earlier?" The Greencloud Sovereign's countenance turned incredibly unsightly when he heard the words of the grey-robed elder.
"An arrow at the end of its flight? Why didn't you act? "The grey-robed elder stared at the grey-robed elder." This matter no longer has anything to do with me. Farewell. "
After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and directly departed the area, vanishing in the blink of an eye. When he was far away, the grey-robed elder coughed out a few more mouthfuls of blood as he sped downwards. He didn't kill Qin Wentian? He basically didn't have the strength to kill Qin Wentian anymore. If he continued to risk his life, it was unknown who would be the one to die.
After the grey-robed elder left, the Greencloud Sovereign felt extremely unbearable.
The assassination attempt today was specially set up for Qin Wentian. Also, the person who planned this was none other than him, the Greencloud Sovereign. He knew that Qin Wentian would definitely come because he, the Greencloud Sovereign, was in Chu and Qin Wentian's family was also there. If Qin Wentian didn't come, Qin Wentian would die for sure.
But the ending didn't turn out as he wished. Qin Wentian actually didn't die.
Even the grey-robed elder failed to kill Qin Wentian. In that case, once Qin Wentian recovered, who would be the first person he would kill? It would be him, the Greencloud Sovereign.
"You want me to bear the responsibility for this matter alone? Impossible." The Greencloud Sovereign's heart turned cold as he commanded, "Bring Lingyue back."
After speaking, his silhouette flickered as he sped away.
This tempest instantly engulfed the entire Chu Country. However, Qin Wentian, who was in the center of it, had already returned to the Mo Residence.
In Mo Qingcheng's room, Qin Wentian lay on the ground, completely devoid of energy. He was already doing his best to control the Immortal Vanquishing Swordplay, unleashing the sword might before he was completely drained. But even so, the instant the Immortal Vanquishing Swordplay was activated, his essence, qi, and spirit were all sucked dry as his life force was ignited.
"Qingcheng, during this period of time, the Mo Residence might be in danger." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice.
"Let me temporarily send you away. Since you are not in Chu, no one would dare to act recklessly. Before this, they didn't take any drastic measures because they were afraid of your revenge." Mo Qingcheng sat beside Qin Wentian as she spoke in a gentle voice. Qin Wentian naturally understood this as well. This was why he was at ease when he allowed the Azure Emperor Palace to relocate. In fact, he didn't even care about the other party threatening him with his family and friends in Chu. It was because he understood that before Qin Wentian killed him, Qin Wentian, those ascendants wouldn't dare to do such a thing.
Not only did Qin Wentian have family and friends, those ascendants all had children and grandchildren. Also, all of them lived in the Nine Continents of Grand Xia. If they dared to touch his family and friends before killing him, Qin Wentian, how could they be so irrational? They would rather die indiscriminately.
"Things are different now." Qin Wentian shook his head. "They have already hired people to assassinate me, shredding all pretense of cordiality. The Greencloud Sovereign naturally knows that I will definitely kill him. In that case, he would definitely take the risk and spare no expense to kill me. Things will no longer be the same as before. If I leave, he might use some extreme methods to kill me. Hence, I cannot leave."
Mo Qingcheng stared at that pale countenance, yet there was still a resolute look on his face. She felt as though her heart was about to melt. She laid beside Qin Wentian, hugging Qin Wentian. She knew that what Qin Wentian said was right. In the past, before they shredded all pretense of cordiality, those ascendants wouldn't dare to offend Qin Wentian too much before Qin Wentian died. But now, things were different. They had already assassinated him, why would they still be afraid of shredding all pretense of cordiality?
If Qin Wentian left, they might use Qin Wentian's family and friends to threaten him.
"No matter what, I will stay by your side." Mo Qingcheng didn't try to persuade him any further. She naturally understood Qin Wentian's personality. Since he had already made his decision, he wouldn't change it. She would respect his decision.
"The wedding date isn't far away, the people from the Royal Sacred Region should be arriving soon. If they really dare to act, Qingcheng, you should tell them your identity. I believe that would be sufficient to deter them." Qin Wentian gently caressed Mo Qingcheng's face as he spoke in a gentle voice, "I need to rest."
"Mhm, I won't disturb you. I will stay by your side to accompany you." Mo Qingcheng obediently replied.
Everyone in the Mo Residence was worried about Qin Wentian's injuries. However, Mo Qingcheng and Qin Wentian didn't take a single step out of the room. Everything seemed very calm, but behind them, a terrifying tempest could erupt at any moment.
Qin Chuan and Qin Yao also came to the Mo Residence, wanting to know how Qin Wentian was doing. However, they didn't manage to see Qin Wentian at all.
A few days later, news circulated out of the Royal Capital of Chu. In Grand Xia, several transcendent powers on the same level as the Greencloud Pavilion and Misty Peak had sent people to the Royal Capital. Not only that, these people were the leaders of these transcendent powers, the true hegemons of Grand Xia.
This news truly frightened everyone in the Royal Capital. These people were all characters on the same level as the Greencloud Sovereign, or perhaps even stronger. They all came together to a small country like Chu, and it seemed that they were all here for Qin Wentian.
The atmosphere in the Mo Residence was incomparably tense. They didn't know what kind of tempest Qin Wentian had stirred up in the past, but when they heard that so many transcendent powers were enemies of Qin Wentian, how could they not be shocked? Not only that, right now, Qin Wentian's injuries were still unknown.
The moment these people arrived, they directly occupied the Royal Palace of Chu. They came in a domineering manner, wanting to kill their way to the Mo Residence.
In the great hall of the Royal Palace, the Emperor and his ministers were all chased away. The transcendent powers all turned their gazes to the Greencloud Sovereign as they asked, "What happened in that battle exactly? Why didn't Qin Wentian die? Why didn't the Darkshadow Sovereign mention anything about it and refused to continue the assassination?"
"I have no idea, but the Darkshadow Sovereign and Qin Wentian are definitely injured. If not, given Qin Wentian's personality, do you all think he would be able to endure it?" The Greencloud Sovereign stared at the crowd as he spoke.
"Hmph, his injuries are not light. Why don't you directly kill your way over and kill him? If his injuries are not light, why is he still here in Chu? " The Wang Ancestor questioned. Qin Wentian survived the assassination attempt of the Darkshadow Sovereign, breaking through his constellation and injuring the Darkshadow Sovereign. Qin Wentian was simply too terrifying. Although they wanted Qin Wentian to die immediately, they didn't dare to directly kill their way over. They still had some suspicions in their hearts.
"Kill my way over? This matter was instigated by all of you. But now, it has become my problem? "The Greencloud Sovereign coldly laughed. "Now that we're all here, the one who hired the Darkshadow Sovereign to assassinate Qin Wentian knows very well that we have no other choice but to kill our way over and take Qin Wentian's life. If not, we can only wait for revenge. As for what we should do, I'm more clear than you all. If you all don't wish to kill me, at most I can just give up on the Greencloud Pavilion and leave this place. I have no worries, I'm not like all of you who have children and grandchildren."
"You …" The Wang Ancestor's countenance turned cold.
The Greencloud Sovereign fearlessly stared back at him. These old foxes actually wanted to stay out of this matter? Was it possible for him to act alone?
"Stop arguing. Since things have already come to this, we truly have no other choice." The Shi Ancestor spoke. Either they kill Qin Wentian or they wait for death.
"Since this is the case, things are much simpler. Should we directly kill our way over now or should we threaten Qin Wentian to come over and see if he would show up or not?" The Greencloud Sovereign calmly spoke!
