Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Time flowed by, the deaths of the three devil kings were gradually mentioned less and less.

On the Vast Sky Devil Island, the appearance of a few more people wouldnʼt cause any ripples at all.

Today, Qin Wentian finally woke up from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, Qi Da, Nanfeng Ruoxuan and the others entered his field of vision.

Qin Wentian clenched his fist and felt a vast strength circulating his entire body. His eyes gleamed with sharpness, one could even see faint hints of astral light in those black eyes of his. His entire being seemed to be flooded with boundless strength.

”Whatʼs going on?” Qin Wentian sat up. Other than his body being a little stiff, he didnʼt feel uncomfortable at all. His injuries had all healed and what was even more shocking was that his cultivation base actually...How is this possible?

Glancing at everyone, Qin Wentian asked, ”Where is Lady Xin Yu?”

During these few days, he kept having a dream. In the dream, something occured where he found it too embarrassed to mention, causing him to be somewhat ashamed.

Other than this in his sleep, he was still cultivating daily inside the dream.

Regardless of that ashamed sensation or cultivation, they repeated many times. The person which appeared most in his dreams was none other than Xin Yu and his cultivation speed became unbelievably fast.

Hence when he opened his eyes and didnʼt see Xin Yu, he immediately asked where she was.

”Are you alright?” Mo Ziyan asked.

Qin Wentian nodded his head, ”Iʼm fine now. In addition, my cultivation base… But this should be impossible. Even if I was already at the peak of the seventh-level and had a chance to break through to the eighth, but…”

Mo Ziyan and the others exchanged a mutual glance. A slight guilt could be seen in her eyes as she spoke in a low voice, ”Lady Xin Yu has returned to the Fallen Devil Island. Given her intelligence, nothing would happen to her.”

”Returned to the Fallen Devil Island?” Qin Wentian frowned.

”Mhm, she said that she has promised the Lord of the Celestial Devil Lodge that she would definitely return. This time, accompanying us here was already something she ought not have done.” Mo Ziyan replied. Qin Wentian turned his gaze to the others, as he activated his eyes of truth. His eyes gleamed with a terrifying light when he stared at the expressions of others.

Qin Wentian furrowed his brows. He could see a slight guilt in the eyes of all of them, as well as a hint of complexity. What happened exactly?

”The Mercury Lady Devil Art.” Qin Wentian closed his eyes. Could it be that the dreams were real?

Drawing in a deep breath, Qin Wentian glanced at Qi Da, ”Did Lady Xin Yu really return to the Fallen Devil Island?”

”Yes.” Qi Da nodded.

”Mhm.” Qin Wentian nodded, not saying anything more. He stood up and proceeded outside as he asked, ”During the time where I was unconscious, did you guys probe about the current events on this island?”

”Thereʼs only one method if you wish to meet with the Vast Sky Devil Emperor.”

”What is the method?” Qin Wentianʼs eyes flashed. Clearly, everyone understood his intentions. Since he came to this devil region, the only way for him to stop Huang Shatian, was to look for an even stronger devil emperor to depend on.

”Itʼs basically impossible to meet with the devil emperor. Leaving aside us with our cultivation bases, even devil kings wouldnʼt be able to meet with the Vast Sky Devil Emperor. On this island, only one person can bring you to the emperor. This person is none other than his daughter, the little princess of the Vast Sky Devil Region. The age of this princess is very young and the devil emperor dotes on her greatly. She has a wilful personality and likes to challenge others. She would often invite powerful devil experts to fight, and the losers were always killed while the winners would be heavily rewarded. If one was strong enough, one could even be granted the rank of her devil knight.”

Nanfeng Ruoxuan spoke. Qin Wentianʼs eyes flickered, they had to act on the daughter of the devil emperor?

The daughter of a devil emperor wasnʼt going to be the same as Yan Yuruo. Her judgement would definitely be higher and Nanfeng Ruoxuan had already said that this princess was extremely willful, going around to fight with people, killing those weaker than her. She simply had no one in her eyes.

However, given how lofty the status of a devil emperor was, if he wanted to meet the devil emperor, he definitely needed a spring board. This princess of the Vast Sky Devil Region was truly the only method.

”I will try it out.” Qin Wentian spoke.

”This princess is extremely temperamental. Nowadays, fewer and fewer people would dare to even meet her for fear or her wanting to fight them. Itʼs extremely dangerous and itʼs best to be more careful.” Nanfeng Ruoxuan reminded. They naturally had absolute trust in Qin Wentianʼs abilities. Itʼs just that as the daughter of a devil emperor, her status was extraordinary. If Qin Wentian went to her residence, nobody could anticipate clearly what might happen there.

In addition, Qin Wentianʼs personality was quite prideful. If the devil emperorʼs daughter acted wilful on purpose and Qin Wentian retaliated, things might get nasty…

”I will react very carefully.” Qin Wentian spoke in a light voice. ”Letʼs not waste time, we will set out right now.”

Everyone nodded and left this place together.

After several days, near the residence of the princess, numerous experts could be seen on the walls around it. After entering the devil sect, powerful guards were arrayed on two sides of the path. There were even devil kings guarding the area. The security here was extremely strict.

Within this island by right, there shouldnʼt be anyone who dared to act against the princess. However, the guards here were still so powerful and all of them were personally chosen by the princess.

Qin Wentian was now among the crowd of experts waiting to enter. There were tens of experts, all of them at the peak of devil-foundation. This was because the princess was also at this level and was rumored to be extremely powerful. If they wanted to gain her recognition, it wouldnʼt be an easy task.

On their way in, there were naturally experts guiding the way. This residence was like an ancient castle filled with guards everywhere. It didnʼt seem like the residence of a princess but a residence suited to an imposing devil king instead.

They were brought to a vast public training ground with four walls erected around it. On the top of the walls, there were more experts on guard, including devil kings who could monitor everything that happened beneath.

Qin Wentian glanced up at the walls, he suddenly felt that this place was like a prison, with an extremely tense atmosphere.

At this moment on the top of the devil wall, a group of figures appeared. The person in the center exuded an incomparable elegance and grace. Her countenance was cold, one couldnʼt tell what emotions she was feeling. She turned her gaze onto Qin Wentian and the other experts here emotionlessly.

”We pay our respects to Princess Fang.” Qin Wentian and the others in the surroundings all bowed. They came here for one purpose only, to become the knights of the princess. Although it was very dangerous, the reward was great as well. If they were able to climb up step by step, they would have a boundlessly bright future.

Although the princess was deemed extremely wilful by others, she had never forced people to enter her residence to fight her. Everyone did so willingly and from another perspective, she was just providing an opportunity.

”Only half of you can live. Same old rules, each of you will select an opponent and kill them.” A maid at the side of the princess icily spoke. Even the servants of the princess were extremely arrogant and rude.

The rule where only half could survive, had been set in place since a long time ago. If not for this, many weaklings would definitely try to enter the princess residence. The princess herself wasnʼt so free to fight against challenges from those weaklings. Hence, only by setting this rules would the weak not dare to enter.

Instantly, vast amounts of devil might erupted forth. Qin Wentian stood there while cold gazes from everyone were glancing around. Rumbling sounds rang out unceasingly as the combat started.

One devil cultivator was staring at Qin Wentian. His body flashed by as a towering devil might permeated the area, as he blasted out a devil palm imprint.

”RUMBLE!” A vast devil might also gushed forth from Qin Wentian, his body gleaming with light.

”BANG!” The powerful palm slammed into Qin Wentian yet it was unable to break his defense. Qin Wentian calmly inclined his head, staring at his opponent with a cold look in his eyes.

The expression of that person instantly changed, knowing that his choice to make Qin Wentian his opponent was an incredibly foolish one. His silhouette flickered, wanting to leave but Qin Wentian blasted out another palm strike as a reply to his opponentʼs earlier attack. Instantly, his opponent was heavily injured as he was flung heavily through the air.

On the wall, Fang Xueqingʼs gaze turned towards Qin Wentian. A bright light flashed in her eyes. This was the fastest speed used to conclude a battle. Also, the strike of a peak devil-foundation expert actually couldnʼt break the defense of this young man.

”The loser dies.” A maid beside Fang Xueqing coldly spoke. After which, a guard walked over to Qin Wentianʼs heavily injured opponent and directly deleted him away.

The battles continued as the losers of each fight were killed off.

The look in Fang Xueqingʼs eyes was as calm as ever. Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at her. This devilish female, the daughter of the devil emperor… Using the word barbaric to describe her didnʼt seem to suit her.

”The rest of you survived up till now can evade death. But the next battle will be even more intense. Only three will remain, and you all can choose to leave now if you are afraid.” Fang Xueqingʼs maid spoke. From the start until now, the devil princess Fang Xueqing hasnʼt even spoken a single word.

The next round of battles continued, yet Qin Wentian simply stood there quietly, his body gleaming with light. Despite the rumbling of the spaces around him, he stood there in an extremely stable manner, like an imposing mountain.

There was someone who launched an attack towards Qin Wentian. Qin Wentianʼs eyes flashed, directly punching out in that direction, shattering everything. That person who launched the sneak attack suffered a punch right to his chest. His qi and blood churned wildly, and another expert directly seized this opportunity to finish him off. This person was stronger compared to the one who attacked him earlier, he was extremely unhappy when he saw Qin Wentian standing there not doing anything, and hence, he wanted to launch a sneak attack. Who would have thought that he would end up so miserable.

The combat continued but it seemed as though Qin Wentian wasnʼt in the battlefield at all. Nobody dared to touch him after that. Fang Xueqingʼs gaze turned to Qin Wentian. Among all these people, it seemed that she was only interested in him.

Very swiftly, only three remained here. The others already died or had chosen to leave earlier.

Qin Wentian naturally was one of the three remaining ones.

”He can remain, reward the other two and tell them to leave.” Fang Xueqing pointed at Qin Wentian as she spoke. The eyes of the other two flashed with disappointment. Despite their results, they were still asked to leave

In the end, only Qin Wentian remined.

”Fight with me.” Fang Xueqing lightly stepped forward as her maid followed beside her.

Qin Wentian inclined his head to stare at her, he then calmly spoke, ”Princess, you arenʼt my match. Itʼs best for you not to fight against me.”

”Impudent!” That maid coldly snorted. She then shot forth like a streak of lightning, speeding towards Qin Wentian.

”Scram!” A thunderous voice echoed out, as ancient characters manifested around him, sealing this entire space. Under the pressure of that sound, that maid coughed out blood as her body was flung back, her face as pale as paper!
