Chapter 1020: Reunited

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

In the Sky Harmony City, the rebuilding of a branch of the Star River Association was taking place. Although it wasn’t as grand as the Grand Xia branch, it was still the most luxurious building in the entire city.

In one of the great halls of the Star River Association, a figure stood with many experts behind him. They stood respectfully with their heads bowed, and none of them dared to release their auras, even the branch leader of the Star River Association.

The figure wore the long robes of the Star River Association, but the color of his robes was a deeper shade compared to the others. Right now, his closed eyes opened as he emotionlessly stared at everyone who gathered here. "A bunch of trash. The person you’ve been searching for was right in front of you, yet you had no idea."

"Sir." The branch leader knelt, "Sir, please enlighten us."

"If I’m not wrong, the Medicine Sovereign and Mo Qingcheng are both at the Qin Residence. Bring your men and capture them there," the person commanded.

"The Qin Residence?" The branch leader froze. They had been extremely strict with their monitoring of the Qin Residence, yet they had actually failed to discover this.

"They have all changed their appearances. The Medicine Sovereign has taken on the role of a servant, while Mo Qingcheng is now a maid. No wonder we couldn’t find them despite such a long time, they actually dared to relocate to Sky Harmony City. I guess they can be considered smart. You guys go on, just take note that Ye Qingyun is there as well. The Medicine Sovereign is now crippled, so there’s no need for me to act personally. Bring them to me within two hours," the expert commanded coldly.

"Yes, sir." Everyone nodded, before turning and exiting the great hall. The branch leader instantly mobilized his people to head to the Qin Residence. They flew through the air in an imposing-looking group, and at their appearance, everyone understood that the Star River Association was finally going to act against the Qin Residence.

Several of the city’s clans had already joined in with this group from the Star River Association; they had been quick to cast a stone the moment the Qin Clan had fallen from grace. The Qin Clan was a major power with huge business operations in Sky Harmony City. Although the Star River Association cared nothing for these businesses, the major powers of the city naturally wanted to seize them for their own benefit. Once the Qin Clan had been completely routed, and its people ushered away, the major powers were free to take any belongings left behind.

And many small clans in Sky Harmony City planned to do just that.

After talking to Qin Yao, the young man who’d just left the Qin Residence was still quite close to its surroundings. When he saw a large group of people from the Star River Association in the air, he joined up with them. He spoke to a man beside the branch leader of the Star River Association and asked, "Teacher, what happened?"

"We are going to the Qin Residence to capture the rebels. The Medicine Sovereign and Mo Qingcheng are hiding in there," his master replied.

"The #1 beauty of Chu from back then, Mo Qingcheng?" The eyes of the young man gleamed, feeling anticipation in his heart. How beautiful was Mo Qingcheng exactly? The rumors painted her to be as beautiful as a celestial being.

Many people in the Qin Residence soon received the news, and they instantly gathered their forces. Qin Chuan and the other experts quickly appeared, accompanied by a figure who emanated an intense aura. The figure radiated an imperious air and appeared majestic without being fierce. Beside him was another old man, so aged that he seemed ready for the grave. The body of the old man was extremely weak, and he had several servants taking care of him. The maid that had earlier stood beside Qin Yao was now standing next to this old man.

"Ye Qingyun. Bring the Qin Clan Leader and Qingcheng away from here. You might still have a chance to survive," the old man spoke to the imperious-looking man beside him. This man was none other than Ye Qingyun, the Emperor of Ye, and Qin Wentian’s other foster father.

"Senior Medicine Sovereign, since the Star River Association has already discovered us, there’s probably no way for us to escape. This shall be our last battle. The only thing I regret is that I couldn’t protect Qingcheng. I’ve failed Wentian." Ye Qingyun stared at the sky as he sighed.

"You have already done enough. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to hide for this long. Unfortunately, we have even implicated the Qin Clan." The Medicine Sovereign sighed as well.

"Senior Medicine Sovereign, what are you saying? Wentian is like a son to me; his matters are my matters. Qingcheng is the wife of my son, which means she is also a part of our Qin Clan. As long as she’s here, the Qin Residence will be here defending her until we fall." Qin Chuan inclined his head and spoke, his tone filled with steel-like resolution.

"This old man is impressed by the Qin Clan Leader’s character." The Medicine Sovereign then continued, "In that case, let this be our last battle."

—BOOM!— A violent wave of energy suddenly gushed over, causing the buildings around them to collapse. A group of mounted soldiers invaded the Qin Residence, destroying everything in front of them. After the dust cleared, the silhouettes from the Star River Association could be seen. They arrived and stopped right in front of Qin Chuan, Ye Qingyun, and the others.

They heard the sounds of many people approaching from all around them. At the same time, they heard an explosion in the distance and saw the destruction of more buildings; the entire Qin Residence was leveled flat to the ground. Qin Chuan and the rest gathered together, surrounded from all sides by enemy forces.

Outside the perimeter, many experts from the other powers in Sky Harmony City all rushed over to spectate the scene. More than a decade ago, the Qin Residence had encountered a calamity which Qin Wentian had resolved. However this time, their enemies were much more fearsome than before.

—bzz!— At this moment, a raging wind gusted through the sky. A terrifying silhouette could be seen riding the wind as it flew towards them. The power generated when it flapped its wings buffeted the people below with enough force that they couldn’t stand upright.

The silhouette soon paused, and they glanced upwards only to see the outline of a large avian demonic beast with wings that gleamed with a golden light.

"A golden-winged Great Roc!"

"The legendary divine roc has actually appeared?!"

Everyone’s hearts trembled. The golden-winged roc flew towards them with rapid speed. It spiraled around the airspace above the Qin Residence, apparently extremely excited. At this time, Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with a bright light; he was still heading over to the Qin Residence. Finally, there was news of Qingcheng. Accompanied by Luo Huan, he increased his speed, heading straight in the direction of Sky Harmony City.

"A golden-winged roc!" Mo Qingcheng inclined her head, staring at the Great Roc in the sky with a strange expression on her face. In that moment, her features changed, revealing her true face. She was now strikingly beautiful, capable of toppling empires.

"Qingcheng, this baobao is back!" The Great Roc in the air suddenly spoke in a baby-like voice, causing everyone there to start in surprise. Could this be a fledgling chick of a legendary golden-winged roc?

A radiant smile bloomed on Mo Qingcheng’s face. Her beautiful eyes glistened—how could she not recognize this little fellow’s voice? Little Rascal had become even more impressive; he must have transformed into this golden-winged roc.

Since Little Rascal had returned... was he nearby?

Upon thinking of this, Mo Qingcheng’s heartbeat quickened. Finally... had he returned? Just moments ago, she’d thought that they would never again meet in this lifetime.

"Where is he?" Mo Qingcheng’s voice rang out, trembling with emotion.

"We acted separately. He’s a little stupid, so how could he be as intelligent as me? I knew exactly where to find you. But this baobao has already informed him, so he should be here soon," Little Rascal shamelessly boasted. Mo Qingcheng nodded heavily, her eyes filled with tears as anticipation filled her heart. She felt slightly nervous...it had been so many years. Would she finally see him again?

"Master, did you hear that? He’s back!" Mo Qingcheng stared at the Medicine Sovereign, looking exceedingly flustered.

"I did, I did." The Medicine Sovereign smiled as he nodded. He also hadn’t expected Qin Wentian to return at such a crucial moment.

"Qin Yao, this baobao is back. Don’t you want to show your love to me?" Little Rascal asked Qin Yao, causing her to roll her eyes at him. "Little Rascal, get down here this instant."

"Ai, my life sucks." Little Rascal descended from the air, transforming into a beam of white light that shot into Qin Yao’s embrace. He snuggled his head against her, rubbing against her body.

"Looks like you’re doing well." Qin Yao hugged the white puppy and smiled. From afar, everyone felt as though their eyes were about to fall from their sockets. Damn, this little demon cub could actually transform into a roc?

"That’s right," Little Rascal replied. He then glanced at Mo Qingcheng. "Qingcheng, this baobao missed you."

"Little Rascal." Mo Qingcheng also laughed—this fellow was too adorable.

Beside them, Ye Qingyun, Qin Chuan, and the rest were all smiling. Upon seeing Little Rascal, they knew that Qin Wentian would arrive soon.

But at this very moment, an immortal might bore down on everyone. An immortal foundation expert from the Star River Association appeared. His gaze stiffened when he glanced at Little Rascal in Qin Yao’s embrace. This little demon cub was a demon immortal!

"Immortal." The countenances of the Medicine Sovereign and the rest turned unsightly when they noticed the figure in the air.

"Let me finish off that fellow first, then I’ll come chat with you pretty girls again." Little Rascal’s voice still sounded childlike. After which, he shot up into the sky, his form expanding. Now covered in golden armor, he let out a thunderous roar. This time, he transformed into a terrifying demonic dragon with nine heads, exuding an incomparably baleful aura. His sharp talons gleamed with such sharpness and power that the spectators felt a chill in their hearts just by looking at them.

In just an instant, an adorable-looking puppy had transformed into such a terrifying demonic beast.

"Do I look very dashing with this appearance?" the dragon mumbled to himself. After that, a thunderous roar rang out as his sharp talons raked through the air as if to slice apart space itself.

The immortal unleashed immortal might from his foundation, sweeping across the heavens and earth as he cursed in rage, "Quickly subdue them!"

"Yes!" The experts from the enemy forces below complied and rushed towards the experts in the Qin Residence. Ye Qingyun stepped out, leading their defense. He released his constellation, emitting a fearsome might, but then a peak-level ascendant from the Star River Association stepped out and immediately obstructed his path.

"DIE!" The experts on both sides clashed, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. The young man who had insulted Qin Yao earlier kept staring at Mo Qingcheng in a daze. How beautiful... truly, she was like a celestial fairy. If she could become his woman... Upon thinking of this, his heart started to pound with excitement. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the qualifications to defile such a woman.

However, even if he could not, it didn’t mean that the others couldn’t. A young ascendant from the Star River Association instantly advanced towards Mo Qingcheng the moment he noticed her. Grabbing out with his hand, he manifested a golden gigantic palm imprint.

Mo Qingcheng stretched her palm out, shooting balls of terrifying jade-green fire at that young ascendant. The two of them soared into the air and continued their battle.

"This can be considered a blessing, seeing that I’ve been given a chance to fight against such a beautiful woman. How about following me? Maybe my master will spare you a path to survival."

Mo Qingcheng’s expression turned cold. Her constellation shone brightly, but the young man merely laughed as he pressed closer. But at this very moment, a beam of destructive light shuttled through space, speeding towards them. With a piercing sound, a bloody hole suddenly opened up in the center of the young ascendant’s brows. His body trembled, and with immense difficulty he turned around, only to see an incomparably good-looking silhouette slowly walking in the air. This newcomer had an extraordinary demeanor, and with a wave of his hand, he tossed the young ascendant directly to the side. He didn’t even know how he died.

Mo Qingcheng stared at this familiar silhouette as her eyes reddened with emotion. Tears began to streak down her face—she had no way to stop them.

The newcomer took another step and appeared beside her, stretching his arms out and pulled her close in an embrace. The two of them stared at each other, deep emotion running through their eyes. The others could clearly feel their intense feelings; a palpable aura of love seemed to surround the two. For a moment, it felt as if they were the only people left in this entire world!
