Chapter 1191: Qin Wentian Exits the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The strongest threat would always be when people grab hold of your weaknesses, yet you had no idea regarding anything about your opponent. The unknown would always be more frightening.
Huang Shatian right now precisely encountered such a threat. His combat prowess was unrivalled in the sacred academy and other than a rare few individuals, he would mostly be able to sweep through everything with invincibility. Threatening Huang Shatian sounded like a joke but right now, that really happened. He was threatened by the experts from the Myriad Devil Islands and they even told him there there was someone who didn’t want him to participate in this war.
Sometimes, the simpler the threat was, the more arrogance was within it. However, he didn’t even know the identity of the one behind this, let alone their weak points. Earlier during their short clash, Huang Shatian already understood that these four experts truly had the power to completely annihilate the people of his Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. Other than him being able to stand against them, the rest of his clan and subordinates would definitely fall before them.
If he knew who the devil-cultivators wanted to help exactly, he would be able to counter-threaten them. But right now, the only demand they made was that he cannot participate in this war. Of course he could kill whoever he wanted to, they didn’t care about that. But if he did so, he better prepare himself for the consequences. Furthermore, these devil-cultivators didn’t seem intent to participate in the war as well, making them even more mysterious in his eyes. Nobody knew who this devils were helping.
"So what even if the war doesn’t have me?" Huang Shatian’s countenance turned cold. Earlier, he has already heavily disrupted and injured many of the Southern Phoenix Alliance’s experts, causing them to split up and flee. Right now, the experts from the White Tiger Alliance were all pursuing them, there should be no suspense to the end result.
He stared at their vanishing silhouettes and actually followed after them. He wanted to see exactly who was their leader that dared to give an order to threaten him, Huang Shatian.
The four devil-experts from the Judiciary Hall soon discovered Huang Shatian following them. They frowned and turned about as their devilish might gushed forth. All devil-cultivators were battle-hardened individuals, so what if Huang Shatian has already come into contact with the gate leading to the immortal king realm? They were here on the orders of the priestess of their hall, why would they fear battle?
A terrifying battle erupted between both sides as they clashed once more. The human-emperor energy slammed violently against the devil judgement energy, causing the earth around them to shudder. Both sides stood equal and could do nothing to the other. This battle only stopped after a long while but none of the combatants chose to leave. They were coldly staring at each other.
"Excellent, I initially thought that you would be smarter about this. Since you like fighting so much, from this instant onwards, we will stick closely with you at all moments." One of the devil-experts coldly spoke. They were all judgement priests of the Judiciary Hall under the Myriad Devil Sovereign, since a long time ago, there would only be people who feared them and people who were targeted by them. Since this Huang Shatian wanted to play hardball, they would play a good game with him.
And so, the game began. From that day onwards, Huang Shatian was stalked by the four devil-experts wherever he went. Both parties fought several times, but they had no way to do anything to each other. Huang Shatian was completely infuriated by the four devil-experts but the four devil-experts naturally didn’t give a damn about his emotions. Such persistence by the four devil-experts made Huang Shatian truly understand what sort of characters these people from the Myriad Devil Islands were.
In the blink of an eye, several months have passed since the war in the Sky Connecting Realm. The experts from the White Tiger Alliance madly pursued after the Southern Phoenix Alliance’s forces into the remote regions of the sacred academy. For the experts from the White Tiger Alliance, they couldn’t help but to split up to pursue after their opponents as well. Although doing this would increase the risks, they would have a higher chance of capturing more opponents.
Among those who were fleeing, there were experts from the Evergreen Immortal Empire who were heavily injured. Under the coordinated pursuit, some of their immortal-foundations were even crippled. These people from the White Tiger Alliance didn’t believe that the Evergreen Immortal Emperor would act against all of them for the sake of some descendants of nobility.
There was also a maiden from the Southern Phoenix Clan who narrowly avoided being tainted by the white tigers. In order to escape that humiliating fate, she chose the same fate as Nanfeng Chun, turning into a drop of nirvanic blood as she fled the area, eventually meeting one of her clansman.
At this moment, the holy maiden who met her convened together with other experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan. Among these people, Nanfeng Yunxi was present as well. Staring at the droplet of nirvanic blood, all their hearts were bleeding. This was already the second maiden. For those who could enter the sacred academy, they are mostly the elites of this generation. Yet right now, two of them were already forced into this helpless form, and could only wait for rebirth.
"What should we do?" A holy maiden asked.
"We were all sent out of the Sky Connecting Realm because we died there. After that, all of us split up and began fleeing in different directions. In addition, with the presence of Huang Shatian, other than us fleeing, there are no other options." The strongest holy maiden among them sighed. She kept the nirvanic blood droplet properly as an expression of helplessness could be seen in her eyes.
In another academy, amidst the vast mountains, there was a group of experts there. Jun Mengchen was within this group and just earlier, they narrowly escaped from an ambush set up by their enemies. Luckily, they received the reinforcement of a powerful expert from the Battle Saint Tribe at the last moment, allowing their group to break free and escape. But even so, they were all in a miserable states, even to this day, they were still evading fights and fleeing.
"We have to regroup again before planning another opportunity to counter attack." Jun Mengchen spoke angrily.
"How can it be so easy. It’s best to delay as much as possible. As time passes, it is impossible for them to band together long enough to continue hunting us down. I don’t believe they would be willing to give up precious time in the sacred academy to cultivate." Someone rationally replied.
"Do we still have to flee? I’m unwilling!" Jun Mengchen inclined his head and stared at the skies. "I wonder if senior brother Qin has exited the second-level of the Sky Connecting Realm. If he did so, given his temperament he would surely kill the white tigers. But if he did so, the rules of the academy would no longer protect him and Huang Shatian would definitely use the chance to..."
Jun Mengchen was now very worried about Qin Wentian. Their defeat means that when Qin Wentian exited the second-level of the Sky Connecting Realm, he would be surrounded by numerous enemies.
In another remote region of a sacred academy, another heaven-shaking battle just occured. Over ten experts encircled four, pursuing them relentlessly. Out of these four, two were experts from the Battle Saint Tribe while two others were disciples of Matriarch Ji. Qing`er was among them as well.
"Madam Qin, you leave first." The two experts from the Battle Saint Tribe had a very high cultivation base. They fought together with Qing`er’s senior apprentice sister and had many injuries; yet they still stood tall and imposing, protecting Qing`er. Both Qing`er and Mo Qingcheng were their Saint Lord’s women.
"Go!" Qing`er’s senior apprentice sister also shouted. Although she was proficient in spatial energy, her dress was still dyed red with blood after encountering the pursuit by their enemies.
"Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems for senior sister to escape." That senior apprentice sister of Qing`er continued. Qing`er’s countenance was still ice-cold, she stared at the silhouettes of those pursuers in the distance in a glacial manner who were blasting attacks at them. Their attacks were all blocked by spatial barriers, as the attacks got closer, they all had unsightly expressions. They knew that since Qing`er was proficient in spatial energy, it was highly improbable that they would be able to catch up to her.
The violent battles continued unendingly while Qing`er fled alone. A hurt and sorrowful expression could faintly be seen in her eyes.
Her eyes flashed with the face of a young man. Does Qin Wentian, who was still in the second-level of the Sky Connecting Realm, know about their miserable defeat yet?
Another period of several days passed. Today, Huang Shatian arrived at a secret realm of the sacred academy. However, the four powerful devil experts were like lingering spirits, dogging his steps. Huang Shatian’s face was grim as he entered the secret realm, he wanted to see how far and how long these four devil-cultivators would follow him for. They better not give him any opportunity or he would definitely kill them all.
In the Sky Connecting Realm, in the location where the immortal rock was at, there were numerous experts gathered there. Throughout these years, the Supreme Might Rankings didn’t change much and today, plenty of time has already passed since the war between the two alliances in the Sky Connecting Realm. Despite so, the memory of the war was still very fresh in the minds of the crowd because even now, the war has not ceased completely yet. It was unknown how many experts from the Southern Phoenix Alliance died from being hunted down by the White Tiger Alliance.
"It’s rumored that Huang Shatian was trapped and can no longer act. There are four extremely powerful devil-experts that threatened Huang Shatian, but I have no idea what happened exactly." Someone spoke.
"After the war in the Sky Connecting Realm, a white tiger wanted to act against Mo Qingcheng but was killed by an extraordinary and mysterious female from the Myriad Devil Islands. Maybe those four powerful devil-experts have a connecting with her."
"That’s right, back then when the White Tiger Race fought against the Southern Phoenix Clan, they ignited the anger of the academy. There were actually also two groups of devil-cultivators from the Myriad Devil Islands involved in that, and the leader of one of the devil groups should be that mysterious female."
Everyone continued discussing. At this moment, the sound of a surprised exclamation rang out. The crowd turned their gazes towards the direction of the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock and a moment later, the outline of a void gate could be seen as a figure stepped out from it.
This figure was extremely handsome and exuded an extraordinary aura. His black eyes seemed to have the power to see through everything. When he glanced at his surroundings, he didn’t discover anyone familiar. He couldn’t help but to smile as he mumbled in a low voice, "Qing`er, Mengcheng, Little Rascal and Purgatory, are you guys doing well?"
This figure was none other Qin Wentian, who was cultivating for a very long time in the second-level of the Sky Connecting Realm.
"They should be fine." A voice drifted over, causing Qin Wentian to turn over. After that, two extraordinary individuals could be seen walking over. The face of the man was somewhat familiar, this should be the person who was once on the Supreme Might Immortal Rankings but was replaced by him.
"Li Yufeng?" Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice.
"There’s no need for you to care about my identity. Several months ago, the Southern Phoenix Clan and White Tiger Race fought a huge battle and broke the rules of the academy. The academy was enraged and waived its protection from the two factions. For all other powers who wished to participate in their battle as well, the academy would similarly retract the protection it offered, allowing them to slaughter each other as they will. After that, the Southern Phoenix Clan gathered your comrades and banded together, while the White Tiger Race formed an alliance with various powers as they engaged in a war in the Sky Connecting Realm. Initially, your friends had the advantage but when Huang Shatian appeared, he alone reversed the tides of the situation. Your friends were all defeated and sent out of the Sky Connecting Realm, deciding to flee away and right now, they are being pursued and hunted down by the White Tiger Alliance." Li Yufeng explained.
Qin Wentian’s smile froze on his face as it gradually grew colder and colder. He then asked, "Which are the enemy powers that has participated in this?"
"The Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, the Skymist Immortal Empire, the Violet Emperor Sect, the Paragon Sword Sect, the White Tiger Race and the Thundergod Hall. These are the powers which I know of." Li Yufeng spoke.
"Sir, do you know where my friends are?" A cold intent gradually radiated from Qin Wentian. To think that these powers have all participated. Was Qing`er and the others doing fine?
"I’m not that sure, but according to rumors, they all fled towards remote locations in the sacred academies and have all split up." Li Yufeng replied. "Also, there would surely be spies here monitoring your movements. The moment you participate in any battle and exit the Sky Connecting Realm, they would be able to kill you. You best take care of yourself."
"Thank you for the information." Qin Wentian clasped his hands. After that, his silhouette flashed as he vanished from that location!
