Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The sloppy-looking old man stared at Evergreen Yuhao as he smiled casually, ”Your father fought to death for the sake of Evergreen. Evergreen should treat you as his own child, yet he didnʼt do so. He also didnʼt betroth his daughter to you, but to an outsider instead. To think that you would be so willing to actually accept this. I initially had a good plan but since you are fine with how things are, just pretend I didnʼt speak to you.”

The two of them communicated through voice transmission and others wouldnʼt be able to hear them. After speaking, the sloppy old man turned about and prepared to leave.

”What plan do you have?” Evergreen Yuhao suddenly asked.

”If you trust me, come with me.” The sloppy old man turned back to glance at Evergreen Yuhao. Evergreen Yuhao frowned and hesitated for a moment. But eventually, he stood up and followed after the old man.

Qin Wentian and Qing`er didnʼt know what happened to Evergreen Yuhao. It was rare for the two of them to have idle time to themselves and they naturally enjoyed themselves to the fullest. In reality, ordinary characters would have more time to enjoy life. As for them, they were constantly cultivating to upgrade their strength, with pressure from so many different directions. They had no choice but to grow stronger.

Although Qing`er was extremely beautiful, nobody harassed them as they walked about in the streets. After all, this place was the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire where experts were as common as the clouds. Their dispositions were extraordinary, who knew what background they had? Normally, people wouldnʼt dare to casually offend others here.

As they wandered the streets, more and more immortal clothes could be seen in Qing`erʼs hands. These were all meticulously picked for her by Qin Wentian. Qing`er was like a celestial maiden from the nine heavens and didnʼt really have any interest towards material items. But since Qin Wentian was the one who chose the clothing for her, she liked them all a lot. Being able to shop around for things with Qin Wentian like this caused her ice cold face to occasionally flash with a smile.

At this moment, Qin Wentianʼs steps suddenly slowed. A figure appeared before him and it was none other than the person who injured him in the secret dimension. According to the Crimson-Eyed Marquis, this man was Evergreen Yuhao, a person from the royal clan of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.

Qing`er kept the clothing, her cool eyes regarded Evergreen Yuhao, not knowing what he intended to do.

”Qing`er.” Evergreen Yuhao walked over. Qing`er furrowed her brows, she had grown up in a particle world and let alone a cousin like Evergreen Yuhao, she wasnʼt even close to her own blood siblings. The only two males she was close to was her royal father, as well as the man standing beside her, Qin Wentian.

”Whatʼs the matter?” Qing`er coldly asked.

”Qing`er, why must you be so cold towards me?” Evergreen Yuhao quietly spoke. Qing`erʼs frown deepened. Her cold expressions turned even colder.

Staring at the look in her eyes, Evergreen Yuhao laughed. ”You and your father never truly had regarded me highly before.”

As the sound of his voice faded, an evil light gleamed in his eyes.

”Careful!” Qin Wentian suddenly spoke and pulled Qing`er along as he retreated. His eyes gleamed with the light from the art of truth, seeing past all illusions and the void. From Evergreen Yuhaoʼs eyes, he could see killing intent.

And as expected at the instant he retreated, an intense killing intent gushed forth from Evergreen Yuhao, terrifying to the extreme.

Someone from the royal clan actually exhibited such killing intent towards Qing`er. Simply inconceivable!

A terrifying wave of law energy radiated from Evergreen Yuhao, forming his law domain as a windstorm manifested, trapping Qin Wentian and Qing`er within. The terrifying gusts of wind brushed past them, wanting to tear them into pieces.

”Evergreen Yuhao, halt!”

”IMPUDENT!”

At the instant all this happened, thunderous roars came from afar, shaking everyone who heard it. As the crowd glanced over, an incredibly powerful aura enveloped this entire space.

”Immortal king? What is going on?” The eyes of the crowd gleamed as their hearts shuddered.

At this moment, Evergreen Yuhao already acted. He transformed into a shadow and shot towards Qin Wentian. His target wasnʼt Qing`er but was Qin Wentian instead.

Swift, simply too swift. A blurry shadow flashed about and Qin Wentian couldnʼt react at all. He could only respond blindly with his senses. He hurriedly pushed Qing`er aside, causing her to fly away, Evergreen Yuhaoʼs target was him, he didnʼt want Qing`er to be here in case she suffered from the aftershocks.

Before this when in the secret dimension, Qin Wentian had already experienced Evergreen Yuhaoʼs wind domain speed. Clearly, that speed Evergreen Yuhao displayed back then wasnʼt his true limits.

The opponent he was facing now was an Evergreen Yuhao who was using his full strength, radiating an extreme killing intent.

”KILL!”

Evergreen Yuhao stabbed out with a finger and the space which Qin Wentian was in started to be ripped apart. From the time Evergreen Yuhao unleashed his killing intent until this finger strike, Qin Wentian only had time to make two movements. He pushed away Qing`er and drew his demon sword.

His aura erupted forth explosively as he slashed out, causing a faint shadow of a great roc to appear, slicing apart everything.

The two attacks collided with each other. His demon sword was flung out of his hands and other than this, the law domain of Evergreen Yuhao completely suppressed Qin Wentian. The gusts of wind left behind numerous wounds on his body and he couldnʼt help but to retreat rapidly. His immortal-foundation manifested as demonic qi gushed out frenziedly. In fact, there were even towering amounts of devil might, causing chaos in the atmosphere.

A fearsome gigantic windstorm appeared, engulfing this entire space, pushing Qin Wentian into the law domain. A blurry shadow flashed and appeared before Qin Wentian once more. He was none other than Evergreen Yuhao.

”Go to hell!” Evergreen Yuhaoʼs eyes gleamed evilly. With a loud roar, he stabbed his finger towards Qin Wentian. Instantly, gusts of wind transformed into destructive swords, raining from the sky.

Qin Wentian howled, he flew to his demon sword, grabbed it and issued another slash, causing the shadow of a giant roc to cover everything. However, the attack from the immortal king still managed to cleave apart the great rocʼs shadow. Qin Wentian wanted to take out another two treasures but Evergreen Yuhao didnʼt give him the time at all. If he wasted just a moment of time, Evergreen Yuhao would be able to kill him.

His immortal energy instantly devilized as devil light flooded out from him gushing towards the swords raining down. The devil might then transformed into light of judgement, enveloping him protectively within, blocking Evergreen Yuhaoʼs attacks.

The air now was like an apocalyptic scene, destruction was everywhere and the two kinds of energy clashed into each other violently.

”DIE, DIE, DIE!” Evergreen Yuhao launched out even more finger strikes as the earth shattered due to the impact. Qin Wentian was completely engulfed by the wave of destructive might he generated.

”Heavenly Net Formation!” A cold voice rang out as several immortal kings descended. Each of them took out powerful divine weapons as white flashes of light zoomed about, forming the strands of a heavenly net which sealed the space Evergreen Yuhao was in. The entire space rumbled as fearsome sounds of collision rang out repeatedly.

”Wentian!” Qing`er rushed towards Qin Wentian, Her countenance was pale, everything happened too quickly, so quickly that she was in a daze.

Evergreen Yuhao actually wanted to kill Qin Wentian. This was simply unbelievable. Could it be that Evergreen Yuhao didnʼt want to live any longer? Such a foolish thing, it didnʼt seem as though an immortal king would do this.

Over there at Qin Wentianʼs position, all the attacks slammed into him. He stood there unmoving causing Qing`er to hold her breath as blood flowed from his wounds. Finally, Qin Wentian heaved out a sigh of relief.

”How dangerous.” Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. He turned and look at Qing`er as he smiled, ”Qing`er, are you okay?”

Qing`erʼs silhouette flashed and directly flew towards him. Her trembling hands clutched Qin Wentianʼs face as she icily spoke, ”Who asked you to do that?”

”Protecting my wife, whatʼs wrong with what I did?” Qin Wentian shrugged as he casually replied. Qing`er rolled her eyes before turning to glance at the battlefield. The Heavenly Net Formation bound Evergreen Yuhao there as a group of immortal kings sealed this entire space. The crowd all stared with bewilderment, wondering who these two were.

They were naturally none other than the extremely famous Qin Wentian whose name spread throughout the eastern regions, as well as Princess Qing`er, the doted daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.

They actually encountered an assassination within the royal capital. This was simply an action of courting death.

Qin Wentian also stared ahead, his gaze was extremely cold. Very swiftly, the Heavenly Net Formation broke apart after Evergreen Yuhao was completely suppressed. His entire body was covered in blood, pinned to the ground by numerous divine weapons, appearing to be in an extremely miserable state.

”Princess and Sir Qin, please return to the royal palace.” An immortal king came to the side of Qin Wentian and Qing`er as he spoke. Qin Wentian glanced at Evergreen Yuhao as he stated, ”Things donʼt seem to be so simple. Look at his gaze, thereʼs something strange there.”

”Yes, Evergreen Yuhao might have been controlled by someone, causing evil intents to rise in his heart. I will bring him back to the empire and await orders.” That immortal king spoke.

Qin Wentianʼs eyes gleamed with an extremely bright light. In the past, three immortal kings tried to hunt him down but because he made his preparations, he was able to deal with them. But this time, Evergreen Yuhao did a sneak attack. An immortal king performing a sneak attack is an extremely terrifying thing to face off against. He would even die if he wasnʼt careful. If Evergreen Yuhao was controlled, who was the one who wanted his death?

Clearly, that person in the shadows knew that there was no way for him to get close to Qin Wentian at all without being noticed by the immortal king guards. Hence, he controlled Evergreen Yuhao as he was someone from the royal clan. Who would guard against someone on their own side?!
