Zi Qingxuan shook herself free and walked towards Qin Wentian. She didn’t say anything, but there was a different look in her eyes when she stared at Qin Wentian.

”Are you alright?” Qin Wentian asked.

”Just a little injured, but nothing too major.” Zi Qingxuan shook her head. She glanced at Qing`er before standing at Qin Wentian’s side.

Qin Wentian turned his eyes towards Xia Qianhan and the others. His gaze gleamed sharply as he coldly spoke, ”Scram.”

Xia Qianhan and the others shook with frustration, their eyes flashing with coldness—they wanted nothing more than to fight it out with Qin Wentian right there and then. Although they didn’t have any confidence of winning if Qin Wentian used the God’s Hand, he had already dissipated its energy, and it was unknown if he still had the ability to condense it once more in such a short time. Previously, he’d managed to assemble it just the one time; after the Xuan Emperor had destroyed it, he was unable to reassemble the God’s Hand a second time.

However, Qin Wentian wasn’t the only one present. Princess Qing`er, the #5-ranked on the Immortal Ascension Rankings was here as well. She wasn’t someone Xia Qianhan and the others could defeat.

”Bring Tu Teng along, we’re leaving now,” Xia Qianhan coldly commanded. Tu Teng was hauled away, and the people of the Twin Stars Alliance swiftly departed the scene. They could only return to inform Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue before making any decisions. After all, they were the only two strong enough to fight against Qin Wentian and Princess Qing`er.

Xuan Yang was the #4-ranked, and naturally, he could fight against Princess Qing`er. And Xiao Lengyue should also be able to fight against Qin Wentian despite him possessing the God’s Hand. Not only that, their Twin Stars Alliance had many other powerful characters, and since Qin Wentian had revealed himself, there was no hurry at all. Unless Qin Wentian didn’t mind using high-risk methods—like injuring himself every time—the battle was in the bag. Seeing how long it had taken for him to reappear after using that self-inflicting injury technique, he shouldn’t be able to withstand such damage for more than a few times.

Naturally, the biggest surprise was Qin Wentian’s rise in cultivation base—he’d managed to break through to the eighth-level of Celestial Phenomenon.

After those from the Twin Stars Alliance left, there were still many spectators who remained. Qin Wentian and Princess Qing`er seemed to be sticking closely together, standing not more than an inch apart. There was no need to doubt their relationship any longer—they must be lovers.

”Senior Brother, luckily you arrived in time,” Jun Mengchen spoke. Qin Wentian shook his head, ”If it weren’t for me, Xuan Yang wouldn’t have acted against you two at all.”

”Why should you take the blame? Fellow sect members should share their fortune and woe together. The Xuan brothers were the ones who took things too far, and you made the right decision to kill Xuan Xing back then. I would have done the same thing if I was in your shoes. And now that Xuan Yang is trying to hunt us down, I can only blame myself for being weaker. But when I break through in the future, I will definitely make them regret their actions.” Jun Mengchen was infuriated. His cultivation was at the seventh-level, yet he couldn’t even hold his own against those supreme geniuses at the peak of the Twin Stars Alliance.

After all, the Twin Stars Alliance had too many experts within their ranks. Most were ranked in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, and like Tu Teng, any one of them could defeat Zi Qingxuan with ease.

”Oh yes,” Jun Mengchen turned to Hua Taixu, ”I haven’t thanked you yet. We were opponents back at the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect—I didn’t think you would reach out to help us today.”

Qin Wentian turned to Hua Taixu; he too hadn’t expected Hua Taixu to act. Although the grudge between them had long been settled, since Hua Taixu had voluntarily given his aid, they now owed him a favor.

”Many thanks,” Qin Wentian also stated.

”You would have helped me if I was in trouble, no?” Hua Taixu casually brushed their thanks aside. Qin Wentian felt surprised, but given the current relationship between him and Hua Taixu, he knew he would have helped Hua Taixu if he were to end up in a similar situation. He only realized this after Hua Taixu brought it up.

”We have five people now, and Sister-in-Law is also the #5-ranked in the Immortal Ascension Rankings. Why don’t we establish a power ourselves and fight against the Twin Stars Alliance?” Jun Mengchen’s eyes gleamed with a look of excitement as he stared at Qin Wentian and Hua Taixu.

”Sister-in-Law?” Qin Wentian was stunned for a moment. But after that, he only saw Jun Mengchen rubbing the back of his head sheepishly while glancing at Qing`er.

Qing`er blinked, but her expression remained cool and collected, as though she hadn’t heard Jun Mengchen’s remark.

”Senior Brother, how about it? Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue have already allied themselves and formed a new Twin Stars Alliance. You and Sister-in-Law aren’t weaker than them. If we formed our own power, then other experts might join us, and we might eventually surpass the Twin Stars Alliance in terms of strength. I’d like to see if they can still treat us arrogantly then,” Jun Mengchen glumly finished.

”This is actually an excellent suggestion. I heard that there are many ancient ruins in the City of Ancient Emperors. If we have a group of experts working together, the chance of obtaining an inheritance would surely be higher than before.” What made Qin Wentian astonished was that Hua Taixu was actually agreeable to this.

”Qingxuan, do you feel this way as well?” Qin Wentian asked Zi Qingxuan.

”I think there’s no harm in trying it out. Even if no one joins us, we still have a total of five members. And once we break through to the ninth-level, we should be strong enough to claim one of the top few spots in the City of Ancient Emperors,” Zi Qingxuan replied. Right now, Princess Qing`er was at the ninth-level; Qin Wentian, herself and Hua Taixu were at the eighth level; and Jun Mengchen was at the seventh-level.

They had to stay in the City of Ancient Emperors for a long period of time, and might even establish their immortal foundations there. Sooner or later, they would eventually break through to the ninth-level. And at that time, their strength would be completely different.

”Qing`er, are you okay with this?” Qin Wentian turned to Qing`er, seeking her opinion.

”Just make the decision, I’m okay with anything you decide,” Qing`er calmly stated, causing Jun Mengchen to smile. ”Since Sister-in-Law has already said it like that, let’s not hesitate any longer, Senior Brother.”

”Fine, then let the five of us establish a power. However, what name should we use?” Qin Wentian looked at the other four.

”Me and Senior Sister will listen to Senior Brother. Sister-in-Law will definitely support you as well. Why don’t we name the new power as the Qin Sect? There’s no need for some flowery name, so it’s fine to keep things simple. Senior Brother shall be our sect leader. Hua Taixu, what do you think?” Jun Mengchen laughed happily.

”I’ve no objections.” Hua Taixu nodded.

”Then it’s agreed, our power will be named Qin Sect. It’s time for us to source out a location for our headquarters. How about the place the God Extermination Palace is located in?” A teasing look appeared in Jun Mengchen’s eyes. When they’d first arrived, the God Extermination Palace wanted to bully them. But now they would show them who’s the boss.

”There’s no longer any meaning in squashing the God Extermination Palace. Mengchen, now that the Xiao Sect and the Twin Stars Alliance have merged together, what about the locations of their old headquarters?” Qin Wentian asked.

”They are still separated, with Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue each taking command of one. But comparatively, there are fewer people stationed at the previous Xiao Sect’s headquarters,” Jun Mengchen replied.

”In that case, let’s choose the Xiao Sect as our target,” Qin Wentian spoke, his words causing a gleam of sharpness to flicker in Jun Mengchen’s eyes. Attacking the Xiao Sect directly?

”Right.” Jun Mengchen nodded. ”Let’s do it.”

The five of them talked as they moved, flying towards the Xiao Sect’s headquarters. The surrounding experts all had sharpness flashing through their eyes, were these five crazy? No matter how strong they were, they intended to launch a direct assault on the Xiao Sect?

Although there were fewer people stationed at the Xiao Sect’s headquarters, they still had dozens of geniuses included among them. Could the five of them even succeed?

And despite Princess Qing`er being ranked #5, she shouldn’t be so overpowered, right?

”Let’s go and take a look. If they can really pull this off, I wouldn’t mind joining the Qin Sect in their fight against the Twin Stars Alliance.”

”Mhm, and the Qin Sect also happens to have two beauties. Not to mention, Qin Wentian himself, so they’re not losing out to Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue at all.” The other spectators all followed after as the news started to circulate. As time passed, more and more people headed over to the Xiao Sect.

Despite their partnership with the Twin Stars Alliance, the Xiao Sect’s headquarters were still actively occupied, and were now considered a branch of the Twin Stars Alliance. Greedwolf was the person in charge of that particular branch which currently housed a few dozen geniuses.

At this moment, Greedwolf was currently sitting cross-legged on the cultivation grounds. The rankings on the Immortal Ascension Rankings were often refreshed, and even though he was ranked somewhat near the top, he still had to constantly elevate his strength levels so as to enter the immortal foundation realm as early as possible.

The sound of the wind whistling past could be heard. Greedwolf opened his eyes only to see a person appearing before him. ”Greedwolf, Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan have been spotted. I’ve heard that Lengyue sent out people from their side to hunt them down. Should we go and take a look?”

”There’s no need to bother about such small matters. Lengyue would naturally have her own methods of settling it. We don’t need to bother ourselves with this matter,” Greedwolf replied. That person nodded but at this very moment, a raging wind gusted forth from afar. That person turned his gaze over, a frown forming on his face. There were five figures in the distance and none of them were from their Xiao Sect.

”Mhm?” He took a good look at the five approaching figures, his expression abruptly changing, ”Greedwolf, they’re here.”

”Who? Lengyue?” Greedwolf asked.

”Qin Wentian and his companions,” that person mumbled. A moment later, Greedwolf’s silhouette flickered as he soared up the sky, and upon seeing Qin Wentian, he called out in a loud voice, ”Some old friends have come to visit, everyone come out to welcome them!”

His voice rang out loud and clear, resonating throughout the Xiao Sect’s headquarters. Several figures appeared in the blink of an eye, all facing the five approaching figures.

Qin Wentian and the others halted outside the Xiao Sect, staring at the geniuses who had come out to ‘welcome’ them. Greedwolf stepped out, ”Qin Wentian, do you intend to rejoin the Xiao Sect?”

”End the battle fast. Qing`er, I will be the main attacker while you be my protector. Taixu, act as my support. Mengchen and Qingxuan, finish off anyone we injure, keep them from crawling back up,” Qin Wentian immediately commanded. He activated the God’s Hand and a terrifying rumble echoed out as his form expanded by over ten meters in size. The tyrannical runic light flashed, containing untold power.

-BOOM, BOOM, BOOM- Qin Wentian wasted no time in attacking them, and all the geniuses at the Xiao Sect reacted instantly by releasing their constellations. In just an instant, many terrifying auras swept through the entire space.

”Left side,” Qin Wentian commanded. An intense spatial energy fluctuation enveloped all five of them. A brilliant light flashed as they vanished from sight, reappearing before two geniuses from the Xiao Branch on the left-most side. Hua Taixu stood in front, unleashing his samsara eyes, instantly drawing the two into an illusion-scape.
