Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Qin Wentian stared at the figures descending from the air, his eyes gleaming with sharpness. They were finally here.

In Sky Harmony City, countless people inclined their heads, staring at those figures who just appeared. Even before they could recover from their shock, more immortals had arrived. Who were these people?

Could they be from the Star River Association again?

If that were the case, then everything was over. Qin Wentian no longer had hope.

But, what did Qin Wentian mean by his earlier words, ʼTheyʼve arrivedʼ?

Could it be that these people werenʼt experts from the Star River Association? Qin Wentian seemed to be anticipating their arrival.

Who were they exactly?

—BOOM BOOM BOOM!— Immortal light flashed through the skies as the group landed in a straight line outside the grand ancient bell. The eyes of the man in the lead were extremely terrifying, and possessed an immense imposingness. The inhabitants of Driftsnow City felt their hearts shuddering when they matched his gaze, in spite of the cityʼs protection.

”Itʼs over, Qin Wentian will be thoroughly defeated.” The people of Sky Harmony City felt their hearts trembling. This group of experts exceeded the previous number of people from the Star River Association. Could the Star River Association have sent a second batch of experts here to deal with Qin Wentian?

If that was the case, Qin Wentian was finished. There was no more hope and his death was imminent.

Would a legendary character meet his end here today?

But at this moment, the light radiating from the grand bell suddenly vanished. The grand bell split back into the Nine Immortality Bells, no longer shrouding the city as they returned to their original location. Driftsnow City appeared once again. Upon seeing this scene, everyoneʼs hearts pounded rapidly. What was going on? Had Qin Wentian gone mad?

Had he given in to despair because he knew they no longer had a chance at surviving? Was he surrendering?

The figures descending from the air stared at Qin Wentian. He floated up, casting his gaze at them as his eyes glimmered with sharpness.

”Young Lord Qin.” Several immortal foundation experts bowed to Qin Wentian. Their voices blasted out together with their almighty auras, containing a heaven-shaking might.

When the immortal foundation experts spoke, their voices congregated into a wave of power that swept over everything. The power was so strong that it caused those who heard it to tremble.

In the ancient Driftsnow City, Qin Wentianʼs close friends and comrades watched this scene in a daze. The figures descending from the heavens were clearly experts from the immortal realms. Yet upon their arrival, they all bowed to Qin Wentian, each of them exuding respect and even greeting him as Young Lord Qin?

Was this really the same Qin Wentian they were acquainted with?

Was this really the same Qin Wentian whom they watched mature—the same Qin Wentian who had grown up together with them?

Their hearts were rocked by huge waves, and they felt a sense of surrealism. It was fine if Qin Wentian broke through to immortal foundation. But now there was actually a group of immortals from the immortal realms bowing in respect to him.

The people of Sky Harmony City were all stunned as well, staring at the numerous immortals.

”Is this real?

”Did my eyes see wrongly?”

”Oh God, all these people are immortals! Qin Wentian from Sky Harmony City… what sort of accomplishments in the immortal realms did he have exactly?”

All their hearts pounded madly as they rubbed their eyes and blinked in disbelief, as though they wanted to ensure that they werenʼt mistaken in what they were seeing.

”Qin Wentian, can you quickly go and save Xian`er?” A voice drifted over. The speaker was someone from the Celestial Maiden Sect.

”Qin Wentian, Lin Xian`er has secretly always been in love with you. Your acquaintance with her must count for something. Please, canʼt you save her?” another person implored.

”Donʼt worry, the Star River Association shall pay for their actions.” Qin Wentianʼs eyes gleamed with coldness. The immortal king leading these immortal foundation experts turned to Qin Wentian as he spoke, ”Young Lord Qin, please command us.”

”Right. Get some men to guard this place. The others shall head to the Star River Associationʼs headquarters to ensure they bring no harm to the female they just kidnapped. That female is a friend of mine. All of you will move out instantly and await my orders,” Qin Wentian commanded.

”We hear and obey, Lord Qin.” The immortals bowed. One of the immortal kings radiated a fearsome might and an overwhelming wave of power instantly wrapped around those immortal foundation experts. In the next moment, their entire group vanished on the spot.

”I plan to activate the protection of the bell once more, to prevent any unexpected accidents. You guys head back to Driftsnow City first.” Qin Wentian stared at Mo Qingcheng and the rest as he spoke. Heʼd waited for these people to show up before he could come out from the bell. After all, the opponent was an immortal king. If he was the slightest bit careless, everyone might have already been captured or slaughtered. At that time, no matter the strength of his reinforcements from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, it wouldʼve all been useless.

”Okay, we understand.” Everyone nodded, they knew this was the best solution.

Qin Wentianʼs immortal sense connected to the nine bells, coming into contact with the soul of the ancient city that resided within them. With a bright light, the ancient city was enveloped once more, shrouded by a gigantic grand bell.

”Letʼs move out,” Qin Wentian said to the immortal king in the lead.

”Roger.” That immortal king nodded. He unleashed his might, and an instant later, he and Qin Wentian vanished from that location as well.

”KILL, KILL EVERYONE FROM THE STAR RIVER ASSOCIATION!”

The people of Sky Harmony City had expressions of agitation on their faces. The Star River Association had treated them like ants, killing them as they liked. They truly hoped Qin Wentian would be able to massacre the whole lot of them.

”Sadly, we have no way to watch that battle. I really wanted to see how that immortal king wouldʼve died in the end. Given that everybody had addressed him as a young lord, Qin Wentian must have surely become the young master of some supreme power in the immortal realms. He can definitely slay that immortal king.”

Many in Sky Harmony City were agitated, and they hated the fact that they wouldnʼt be able to witness this next battle.

”Qin Wentian isnʼt exactly a kind soul either. Earlier, he watched them drag Lin Xian`er away and refused to help,” somebody raged.

”Are you so noble? Qin Wentian is also a human. All his friends and family are in Driftsnow City. If he were to come out, he wouldnʼt be bringing about his own death. All his friends and family would have been buried together with him as well. If you were in his shoes, would you have done so?” somebody scolded. ”As for not showing the slightest concern, itʼs clear that he did so with us in mind. If he showed that he cared, would that immortal king have spared us? He would have slaughtered us to force Qin Wentian to come out.”

That person froze and then nodded, ”Youʼre right. Sigh, we can only blame the Star River Association for being despicable. I hope he can slaughter them all.”

For the women of the Celestial Maiden Sect, all of them had expressions of nervousness on their faces. One of them asked, ”Nothing will happen to Xian`er. right?”

”I think so. Qin Wentian and Xian`er are friends. Just now, he was helpless to rescue her. But now, with so many experts, thereʼs no doubt that Xian`er will be saved,” commented someone at the side with seriousness. In truth, that person whoʼd commented was exceedingly nervous as well. They could only wait and see.

Right now, in the air space above the headquarters of the Star River Association, several experts of the Star River Association were all around Lin Xian`er, glancing with hostility at the numerous immortals who had suddenly appeared in their territory. A terrifying might flowed downwards from above, blocking off their path of retreat.

Initially, Lin Xian`er was in a state of despair after her capture. But when she saw the sudden appearance of a group of experts surrounding the Star River Association, hope reignited in her heart. However, she didnʼt understand what exactly was going on.

~bzz~ A beam of light shot over as two figures materialized. One was a middle-aged man exuding a terrifying imposingness, and the other was none other than Qin Wentian.

Lin Xian`erʼs eyes flashed with a strange light. It was Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian had actually come.

Down below, the experts from the Star River Association felt their hearts turn cold when they saw the number of immortals in the air. From afar, the spectators from the Royal Sacred Region also felt their bodies trembling as they watched this scene. What was going on?

That young man was Qin Wentian?

”Get these immortals to leave. If not, I shall take her life right now.” The immortal king of the Star River Association threatened icily as he pointed at Lin Xian`er. He understood that the current circumstances were extremely disadvatageous for his side.

”Hear my command. For those belonging to the Star River Association, kill them all without mercy!” Qin Wentian roared.

”WE HEAR AND OBEY!” The immortals from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect rushed downwards. In an instant, numerous waves of destructive might slammed against the headquarters of the Star River Association, causing screams of misery to ring out, one after another. One of the immortal-foundation experts screamed in terror, ”IMMORTAL KING, SAVE US!”

However, that immortal king simply stood unmoving. Qin Wentian also hadnʼt glanced at what was happening below. His face was ice-cold. This immortal king wanted to threaten him by using the lives of the people in Sky Harmony City? In that case, this was payback. He would kill everyone belonging to the Star River Association—he would show no mercy.

”Itʼs over. The Star River Association is over.” The souls of the distant spectators were shuddering. They still didnʼt know what was happening. Who were these experts?

What status did Qin Wentian have exactly? He could actually command so many immortals to kill the experts of the Star River Association.

”Do you truly not care whether she lives or dies?” That immortal king pointed to Lin Xian`er as he spoke.

”You are right, Iʼm indeed acquainted with her. But as a high-ranked and supreme immortal king, you would actually use an innocent woman to threaten me? Very well. Listen closely, all of you. Unless you have no family, then as long as a single strand of hair is missing from Lin Xian`er, I swear that I will investigate and hunt down every single person connected to you all. Donʼt doubt me on this.” Qin Wentianʼs ice-cold gaze swept over to the immortal foundation experts before finally landing on the immortal king. ”That includes you.”

”Release her,” Qin Wentian then icily continued.

”Do you think thatʼs possible?” The immortal king was emotionless.

”Then, let me be the hostage instead,” said Qin Wentian, causing everyoneʼs expressions to stiffen. Even Lin Xian`erʼs expression froze, and she stared at Qin Wentian in a daze. He, was actually willing to become the hostage in exchange for her?
