Qin Wentian was bathed in boundless runic light. It was as though he was clad in runic armor, unexcelled in the world. Every word he spat out caused the hearts of the spectators to tremble.
At this moment, that ordinary-looking young man radiated a radiance that was even more dazzling compared to the geniuses of the various major powers of the Cloud Prefecture. It was as though he was the main character here. As for the others, scram, they are not allowed to get close to the Nine Immortality Bells. Those who disobey shall be killed without mercy.
Most probably, even the Jiangling King of the Jiangling Country wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Yet this mere third-level ascendant actually dared to do so. Not only that, the countenances of those geniuses turned ashen, they had nothing to say in response. Being trampled on and defeated in such a domineering manner, even if they tried to retort, it would be useless.
"It's you! You killed Xuan Zhu!" At this moment, a voice of shock rang out. The female from the Purple Flame Sect earlier stared at Qin Wentian. At this moment, she could already confirm that Xuan Zhu was definitely killed by Qin Wentian. It was precisely that bell chime that caused Xuan Zhu's death.
"Bell chime, that bell chime was caused by you. Xuan Zhu died in your hands. You borrowed the might of the bell chimes to sneak attack and kill Xuan Zhu." The eyes of that female seemed to be spewing flames as she stared fixedly at Qin Wentian.
However, Qin Wentian's gaze swept over. His sharp and cold eyes swept past the female, and in an instant, that female only felt a chill running down her spine.
"Who the hell does he think he is? Do I need to sneak attack to kill him? These so-called geniuses can't even withstand a single strike. Your Xuan Zhu is like an ant, yet you still flattered those from the Seven Sword Sect. How ridiculous, killing him with a single gaze? How pathetic. "
Qin Wentian's expression was calm. His hands were still behind his back as he stared at the woman from the Purple Flame Sect. "I originally didn't want to cause trouble. Otherwise, how could you stand here and speak? But now, you still dare to pester me endlessly. Do you want to die?"
As soon as the word "die" was uttered, the woman trembled all over. Qin Wentian's eyes seemed to contain a sharp aura that could pierce through people. Her body trembled, her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a word. She didn't dare to continue speaking and only let out a low, cold snort. Everyone immediately understood that this woman was already terrified. Under Qin Wentian's power, she was so scared that she didn't even dare to speak.
Right now, Qin Wentian was incomparably domineering. Even for the disciples from the peak powers of the Cloud Prefecture, he didn't care about them at all. In fact, no one even doubted his determination to kill them. Also, the Purple Flame Sect was a major power of the Jiangling Country. He has already killed Xuan Zhu before, it wouldn't matter even if he killed one more. Hence, it was only normal that this woman didn't dare to antagonize him. If not, if this young man was angered, this woman would surely die.
"So that earlier chime of the Nine Immortality Bells that was even louder than Cheron's, was caused by him." From afar, someone spoke, staring at Qin Wentian with bewilderment. This young man was extraordinary, it was just that he had been keeping a low profile earlier. Who would have thought that all these disciples from the major powers would look down on him, putting no one in their eyes and even wanting to kill him? This was the reason why this young man was so arrogant.
"Truly powerful. Initially, everyone guessed that it was the Nine Immortality Bells manifesting their own spirit, but who would have thought that he was the one who caused the chime to ring out. How powerful, surpassing Cheron and accomplishing something none of these geniuses from the major powers were able to do. Those geniuses looked down on this young man, yet they didn't know that he was only at the third-level of Celestial Phenomenon, yet he could already accomplish things they couldn't. Especially for that Jiang Yan from the Jiang Clan, he's proficient in weaponsmithing and is known as the holy ground for weaponsmithing in the Cloud Prefecture. His attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions are naturally extremely high. However, this Jiang Yan has no way to cause the chime to ring out.
From afar, someone involuntarily commented. However, the ears of the people here were extremely sharp. They only saw Jiang Yan's countenance turning ashen, yet he had nothing to say. The people behind him all turned their gazes over coldly, their gazes as sharp as swords.
How shameful. Those from the other major powers were still fine, but for this Jiang Yan, he was a genius from a holy ground for weaponsmithing in the Cloud Prefecture. Not long ago, he was still unexcelled in this world. He was the descendant of the legendary character Jiang Chao, but in terms of weaponsmithing, it was still understandable that he couldn't be compared to Cheron from the Wondergate Immortal Manor. But to have such a disparity in terms of weaponsmithing by someone with such a low cultivation base, this was truly shameful. Especially when Jiang Yan had always been incomparably arrogant, looking down on that young man.
This was simply smacking his face. Jiang Yan could already sense several gazes landing on him. Momentarily, his face was burning hot, feeling extremely unbearable.
"You knew long ago?" Mu Yan who stood at the side stared at Cheron as he directly asked.
"Mhm, before this I already guessed that it was Brother Tianwen. Brother Tianwen is clearly stronger than me, but from the looks of this battle, it seems that he isn't just slightly stronger than me. In fact, there's quite a huge disparity between us. This truly makes me feel ashamed." Cheron didn't mind at all. It was because he knew that Qin Wentian was able to ring the Nine Immortality Bell, hence he decided to befriend Qin Wentian. This was something very natural. Qin Wentian had something that attracted him, hence the two of them were able to become good friends. If not, Cheron wouldn't even be acquainted with Qin Wentian. How could it be possible that they became good friends just by exchanging a glance?
"Haha, in this aspect, you might be inferior to others. But at the very least, you are much stronger than Jiang Yan." Mu Yan laughed, not bothering to mask his voice, causing Jiang Yan to feel a burning sensation as though he was slapped on the face.
"Jiang Yan?" Cheron intentionally turned his gaze over to Jiang Yan as a mocking expression could be seen on his face. He then emotionlessly spoke, "Not long ago, Jiang Yan was still trying to humiliate Brother Tianwen. But now, no matter how I look at it, it's nothing but a joke. He was simply courting his own humiliation."
"Cheron, shut up." Jiang Yan roared. Right now, he was already extremely embarrassed, yet Cheron still wasn't willing to spare him.
"What? Don't you want others to talk about what you did? Earlier, weren't you very arrogant? Aren't you a descendant of the sacred ground of the Cloud Prefecture, the Jiang Clan? Others don't have the qualifications to converse with you because you aren't on the same level as them. In fact, if you speak too much, you might even die. But now, Brother Tianwen is standing there, yet you don't even have the courage to step forward. If I were you, I would immediately return to my clan and enter closed-door seclusion. If I don't break through, I would never come out again. If not, I would only be a disgrace to my clan."
Cheron crossed his arms before his chest as he mocked, causing Jiang Yan's body to tremble from anger.
"Enough, it's time for you guys to leave. Staying here would only make things more embarrassing." Mu Yan coldly spoke.
Zurius didn't dare to do so. He stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke, "You borrowed the might of the Nine Immortality Bells and have the strength to stand shoulder to shoulder with us. However, external forces are still external forces. Unless you choose to remain in front of the Nine Immortality Bells forever, all of us will definitely take your life."
As the sound of his voice faded, Zurius turned and departed, not even pausing for a moment.
"The Nine Immortality Bells have manifested their spirit, the Driftsnow City is filled with geniuses. You are still too naive." Shu Luyao also spoke before he departed as well.
Nion's injuries were the heaviest. Her gaze was as sharp as swords as she stared at Qin Wentian as she departed with reluctance in her heart.
Jiang Yan, Pei Xiao and the others also departed, but their hatred for Qin Wentian grew even stronger. In the blink of an eye, the geniuses from the various powers all departed. The atmosphere in front of the Nine Immortality Bells finally quieted down. The gazes of the spectators were all different when they stared at Qin Wentian. This man had formed an innate connection with the Nine Immortality Bells and the chimes he created surpassed Cheron. Nobody knew if he would be able to unravel the secret within the Nine Immortality Bells.
"Brother Tianwen, awesome." Cheron and Mu Yan walked over, only to see Cheron flashing a thumbs up to Qin Wentian as admiration could be seen in his eyes. Being able to control runes at will, this level of attainment far surpassed him. Qin Wentian's cultivation base was at least five years ahead of him. Even if he used another five to ten years, he might not be able to catch up to Qin Wentian.
"He is indeed powerful, but he has offended too many people." Mu Yan added.
"There's no solution to it. Earlier at the banquet, you guys have already seen how arrogant these people are. If I don't want to offend them, I can only do so if I give my life to them." Qin Wentian joked.
"Haha, but it's no big deal. You can borrow the might of the Nine Immortality Bells, there's no need for you to fear them. And as for these geniuses encountering setbacks outside, let's see if they have the face to seek help from their clans or sects. If they do so, their clans or sects would definitely look down on them. You just have to be careful. If you leave the Nine Immortality Bells, do your best to stick together with us." Mu Yan kindly reminded.
"Understood. I will continue to comprehend this Nine Immortality Bells before heading to the other eight." Qin Wentian smiled.
"We will accompany you then. Although you can borrow the power of the Nine Immortality Bells to battle, it's inevitable that these people would use some underhanded methods to deal with you." Although Cheron was a wanton and unrestrained person, he also had a cautious side to him. Qin Wentian nodded lightly, he didn't reject Cheron's good intentions.
...
At the Driftsnow Inn, the banquet was still going on. Snowflakes drifted down, dancing in the wind, creating a scene that was incomparably beautiful.
Everyone chatted merrily, raising their cups and drinking to their heart's content. Only Pei Yu sat behind Pei Tianyuan with her head drooped, looking extremely depressed.
"It's about time for those fellows to return. A mere third-level ascendant actually left for such a long period of time." A person spoke in a low voice. Pei Tianyuan smiled, "They should be back soon. That little fellow doesn't know what's good for him. However, Cheron and Mu Yan are extremely loyal and would definitely act to obstruct him. Hence, it's only natural that they would take a longer time."
"These juniors always love to fight. In truth, it's not a big deal." The Driftsnow City Lord shook his head as he laughed.
"Although it's not a big deal, it's just that that young man truly doesn't know what's good for him and doesn't know his own status. For such a character, even if his talent isn't weak, he would still die prematurely." The Cloudcloud Inn Lord Ji Kong casually spoke, as though Qin Wentian was someone who didn't know what was good for him. Hence, he deserved to be killed.
"Indeed." Pei Tianyuan nodded. Pei Yu who was at the back felt somewhat angry. She inclined her head, her countenance was extremely unsightly to behold. However, she didn't have the qualifications to speak here.
"They have returned." At this moment, Pei Tianyuan inclined his head and stared at the horizons only to see a spatial fluctuation. An instant later, whistling sounds could be heard as several figures appeared in the air. These were none other than the geniuses who had left earlier.
"Mhm?" At this moment, Pei Tianyuan's brows twitched as though he didn't understand. Something seemed to be wrong. Those geniuses' robes were in disarray and they seemed to be in a sorry state. As for Nion from the Seven Sword Sect, her aura was fluctuating violently as though she was heavily injured. Could it be that Cheron and Mu Yan were so powerful? The two of them actually helped that young man to fight against so many geniuses?
