Before this, Princess Glaze asked Qin Wentian what his relations.h.i.+p with Qing`er was and Qin Wentian replied that she would know soon after.
Now, Qin Wentian said that Qing`er actually got her royal father, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor to help by asking the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor to accept Qin Wentian as a disciple. One could very well imagine how close the relations.h.i.+p between this man and Qing`er must be.
Back when the Evergreen Immortal Emperor fought for his empire, he sent the baby Qing`er to a particle world. Princess Glaze was naturally aware of this point and she could easily guess that the two of them must have met in the particle world and there was also an extraordinary relations.h.i.+p which developed between them, they might even be lovers.
In that case, the person in her father’s prediction should then be this man. Given his relations.h.i.+p with Qing`er, as well as his overwhelming talent, it was highly probable that he would be the one to influence the fate of the Evergreen Immortal Empire in the future.
"To think that attending this banquet truly had allowed me to find the person I’m looking for. However, his position now seems somewhat awkward." Princess Glaze turned her beautiful eyes onto Qin Wentian. This man had rejected the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, smacking his face publicly. Let alone the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor who was like a G.o.d within the thirteen prefectures, even ordinary immortal kings wouldn’t be able to endure this.
Although it wasn’t really stated that the top three of the immortal banquet had to enter the tutelage of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, this place was the thirteen prefectures after all and everything should have been expected. You came here to partic.i.p.ate in the immortal banquet organized by the sect and even took the treasures before immediately falling out with the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. Even Princess Glaze had no idea what Jun Mengchen and Qin Wentian were thinking. Were they really so naive to believe that the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect would let them go just like that?
Even if the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor expressed his att.i.tude, allowing them to leave this banquet, would they be able to walk out of this Eastern Immortal City with their lives?
Just an immortal-foundation expert could easily destroy them. And if an immortal king was to act, they wouldn’t even know how they died.
For example, the Dream Demon King who has always been sleeping. He could sneak into the dreams of people to reap their lives. It was too easy for him to kill Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen.
The atmosphere was still silent. Qin Wentian’s actions were akin to openly provoking the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor out in public.
"Truly courting death." Zuyu as well as the other experts from the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor coldly sneered in their hearts. Their eyes flickered with cold gleams. Before this they were still worried Qin Wentian would ascend to the heavens with a single step. But now, it seems like their earlier worries were pointless. Qin Wentian was even more arrogant than Jun Mengchen, he can no longer clearly see what was in front of him. This was him seeking death of his own accord.
‘The ridicule of the immortal realms?" The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke. "Naturally, I wouldn’t kill you guys. Also, I believed that with your talents, there shouldn’t be any need to leave your lives to my charity. Daring to rebut me like that only proves that you have something that you can depend on, strong enough to support you. Since you two are fellow sect members, isn’t it time to tell me who both your master is? I want to see if he is strong enough to allow I, Eastern Sage, to let the two of you go free."
Qin Wentian stared at the deep eyes of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, it felt like he was capable of seeing right through their souls.
The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s judgement was very accurate. He and Jun Mengchen naturally also understood what they are doing. Ordinary people would think that they are courting death and truth to be told, if it wasn’t for the mission issued by the Heavenly Talisman Realm, they wouldn’t do this as well.
As for the source of their dependence, it was naturally the Heavenly Talisman Realm. Since the Heavenly Talisman Realm issued this mission, they wouldn’t have no power to protect them from the aftermath.
Bai Wuya was already here among the spectators and he sat just by the side of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. Even the immortal emperor had no idea of his ident.i.ty - that he was a senior apprentice brother of Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan.
"There will naturally be someone coming soon to help." At this moment, a voice rang out in their minds, causing their hearts to be more at ease. The owner of this voice was none other than Bai Wuya.
Just as what they predicted, since the Heavenly Talisman Realm issued this mission, they would have ways to protect them.
Since this was the case, there was nothing more to fear.
Staring at the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, Qin Wentian even felt that the whole situation was so funny that he let out a laugh.
"What a good Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. This grand event that’s held once every hundred years turned out to be so filthy. Me and my junior brother Jun Mengchen obtained the two out of the top three ranks but because we are unwilling to take you on as a master, you don’t want to let us go. I wonder what the world would think of your Majesty’s ‘magnanimous’ heart if this were to be spread out." Qin Wentian spoke.
"You are too impudent." The eyes of the Deepflame Immortal King were like the abyss, containing an intense sense of danger within. A stifling pressure bore down onto Qin Wentian, this was the first time the Deepflame Immortal King personally made a move. The crus.h.i.+ng pressure forced Qin Wentian’s body downwards, wanting to force him into a kneeling position.
He hunched his back, bearing the pressure by Deepflame Immortal King as his own aura blasted out while he spoke coldly, "Deepflame. Earlier, you kept on trying to humiliate me. In the end, not only was your disciple Blackpeak was slain by me, I obtained the position of the top ranker in this immortal banquet as well. Don’t you know how to feel shame? You actually managed to turn the shame into anger and even want to vent it on me at this moment? How ridiculous."
"BOOM!" An extremely terrifying pressure directly blasted onto Qin Wentian, flattening his resistance and knocking him prostrate on the ground. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor merely watched on silently, he did nothing to stop the Deepflame Immortal King.
"I said before, I won’t kill you. But I have to know who exactly give you such courage, daring to come to my territory to provoke me." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor spoke.
"Shameless!" Upon seeing Qin Wentian was being forced to prostrate, an infuriated expression appeared on Jun Mengchen’s face. He then shouted out, "Is this the way the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect treats the top rankers? What a dogs.h.i.+t sect."
"HOW DARE YOU!" Yet another surge of towering pressure blasted down, knocking Jun Mengchen straight to the ground as well.
"His highness looked highly on the two of you. Yet, you both let down his good intentions and even want to challenge his Majesty’s prestige. This crime is already sufficient for your deaths. There’s no need for any other reasons if I want to kill the two of you." The Deepflame Immortal King coldly snorted as his killing intent permeated the air.
"Don’t the actions of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect seem somewhat inappropriate?" At this moment, Princess Glace emotionlessly spoke. Her words caused the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor to furrow his brows. Dongsheng Ting who was beside the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor directly turned his eyes onto Princess Glaze and replied, "Princess you should be able to tell that these two intentionally came here to make trouble."
"Not willing to take someone on as a master equates to making trouble? Forgive me for not being able to understand this logic." Princess Glaze continued, "Junior is here today in the capacity of a guest and initially, I shouldn’t be saying so much. However, junior feels that the actions of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect today might really damage your Majesty’s reputation."
The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor waved his hands and an instant later, the Deepflame Immortal King retracted his aura. Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen stood up, coldly staring at the Deepflame Immortal King.
"Deepflame, a son is like his father, a disciple is like his master. Blackpeak’s manners and talent were both bad, unable to withstand a single strike. He must have inherited those traits from you. At this immortal banquet I killed your disciple Blackpeak. In the future, if I break through to the immortal king realm, I’m afraid the person I kill then, would be you."
Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with demonic light, flickering with a smile yet it was an intensely cold one.
"In the past, your Majesty humiliated me in the particle world and today my rejection to take you on as a master could be considered me paying back this debt. However, both me and my junior brother obtained the top two rankings yet your Eastern Sage Immortal Sect still humiliated us like that. I, Qin Wentian, will carve this experience and remember this deep in my heart."
"So will I, Jun Mengchen."
The voices of the two of them were incomparably resolute, causing many to sigh in their hearts. These two were extraordinary individuals but sadly, they were both courting death.
However, there was a faint trace of admiration in the eyes of Bai Wuya. These two were truly worthy to be heavily nurtured by the Heavenly Talisman Realm.
"Remember this deep in your heart?" The Deepflame Immortal King coldly laughed. Did they really think they could live long enough?
However at this moment, Deepflame Immortal King abruptly inclined his head, staring at the skies as his eyes glittered with sharpness. He then soared upwards without another word.
"Is their master finally here?" The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was very curious as to who their master is. Who exactly would give them the courage to create trouble in his territory?
"Which friend has come by to my Eastern Sage Immortal Sect?" The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s voice rang out through the skies, his words causing the expressions of many spectators to freeze. There was actually a super strong character about to appear?
In that case, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s guess was right. Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen dared to do this because they had a very powerful character behind them.
"Eastern Sage, don’t you recognize this old friend of yours?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly resounded out in all directions.
The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor frowned and a moment later, thousands of silhouettes appeared in the air. These silhouettes all shared the same aura, evidently, they were created by the same man.
This man was dressed in black, had long hair as well as a demonic smile on his face. When the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor saw who had come, his countenance instantly turned ice cold as a formless pressure radiated forth from him, enveloping everything in this s.p.a.ce.
"He’s here." Qin Wentian silently mused. The person the Heavenly Talisman Realm arranged to help had arrived.
"Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord!"
The countenance of the Undying Immortal King changed as he stared at the silhouettes in the air, feeling shocked in his heart.
The Undying Immortal King had lived for countless years and knew many things. He was termed ‘Undying’ precisely because of how long he lived. This black-robed man...he had seen him once before during the chaotic period when the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor fought for the right to govern these thirteen prefectures.
"Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord." The experts of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect all stiffened when they heard this name. They didn’t expect such an ancient character would actually appear before them today.
It was rumored that the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord was the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s strongest rival in the past. A long time ago, before this region was known as the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, there were a number of immortal emperors who ruled this region. Among them, the strongest two were Thousand Transformations as well as Eastern Sage. But in the last battle, because Thousand Transformations was defeated, he faded away into obscurity. Who would have thought that he would actually appear here today.
Instantly, the gazes of everyone directed back to Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen. No wonder these two were so outstanding. So it turned out that they were the personal disciples nurtured by the strongest rival of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
In this case, there was nothing strange that they were able to obtain the top two positions of the immortal banquet.
If it was a disciple that the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor spared no expense and personally nurtured, that person would also be able to achieve the same results.
