Qin Wentian’s group departed like that. But everyone still had yet to regain their calm.

In this pill banquet of the Unaging Immortal Mountains, this grand occasion that occurred once every ten years, many areas of the main mountain peak had crumbled and the two most outstanding disciples of the main peak completely shamed themselves. Xue Qingyang knelt and begged for mercy while Qiu Mo died. The two elders of the Xue Clan and Qiu Clan were slaughtered.

The start of all of this, was because Qiu Mo was disrespectful to Mo Qingcheng, and the elder of the Qiu Clan had insulted her.

If they knew that Mo Qingcheng’s husband had such terrifying strength, neither Qiu Mo nor Xue Qingyang would have dared to antagonize Mo Qingcheng.

Right now, Ye Rou’s body was drenched in cold sweat. Her body felt entirely devoid of strength but luckily, she was just a nobody and an inconsequential character. Qin Wentian never had her in his eyes. Also, luckily, it wasn’t up to her to say anything in the pill concoction banquet, or if she did so, her ending would definitely be the same as Qiu Mo’s.

That silent and taciturn number one beauty of the Unaging Immortal Mountains actually had such a powerful character as her husband. What’s laughable was that she was foolish enough to actually want Mo Qingcheng to accept Qiu Mo. When she thought of this, she couldn’t help to feel how absurd her thinking was. With such a husband, it was only natural that Mo Qingcheng wouldn’t have Qiu Mo in her eyes.

Ye Rou glanced at her own fiance as she sighed in her heart. The distance between her fiance and Qin Wentian was just like the distance between her beauty when compared to Mo Qingcheng. It was the difference between heaven and earth, an unmitigable difference.

The Pill Lords of the nine peaks felt extremely complicated in their hearts. They knew that the Unaging Immortal Emperor was currently in the mountains cultivating. Yet despite such a huge commotion, he didn’t appear. The unspoken reason behind caused all their hearts to feel a chill.

Next, it was time to clean things up.

However, all of this already had nothing to do with Qin Wentian. Since he chose to stand out, he could only end up bringing Mo Qingcheng away. Even if she wasn’t cultivating outside, he would also try to think of ways to increase her strength bit by bit. If not, even if Mo Qingcheng wouldn’t be able to grow stronger, he himself had to be strong enough to protect her forever. This, was his responsibility as a man towards his wife.

Qin Wentian and his group silently returned to the Cloud Prefecture. Now, the situation in the thirteen prefectures was extremely tense and there were constant clashes between armies frequently. Despite the vastness of the Cloud Prefecture, the clashes of the armies at the border caused tension to spread across the entire prefecture. And recently, some of the more powerful experts of the Cloud Prefecture all stealthily left, choosing to flee the battlefield.

For a battle of this scale, a large number of immortal kings would surely be involved. If one didn’t take the necessary precautions, the aftershocks of the battles would devastate everything, easily demolishing cities. So, for those who had the strength to flee, they naturally wanted to avoid all of these.

Right now, there were only people exiting the Cloud Prefecture enmasse. Almost no one else sought to enter. Qin Wentian directly sped towards the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect after he arrived and on their way there, he briefed Mo Qingcheng about the current situation. Qin Wentian initially wanted to escort her back to their particle world but Mo Qingcheng had adamantly refused to, wanting to stay here together with him. Since this was what she wanted, Qin Wentian didn’t insist too much. He didn’t think that his side would lose this battle so miserably that he wouldn’t even have the strength to protect a single person. Unless of course, he was already dead.

Within the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, Qin Wentian first sent Mo Qingcheng back to their residence before he dismissed Qi Yu. After that, he headed towards the place where Bai Wuya was staying.

Bai Wuya’s residence was protected by a mystical surge of energy that could act as a barrier against immortal sense and the instant anyone entered, the master of the barrier would know straight away. This was a common method used by powerful characters and the Qin Wentian now could accomplish this as well. After all, others could easily spy on you without this, but as long as you surrounded the residence with your immortal sense using this technique, people would know that you don’t wish to be disturbed. This silent rule was fixed in stone and it was considered a great taboo should someone break it, easily offending others. It was like an owner locked up the gate to his house but you came by with lock-breaking tools, wanting to force your way in.

Qin Wentian arrived outside Bai Wuya’s place. After he greeted the serving girl, he entered and discovered that there were actually plenty of people who were already here. With a sweep of his immortal sense, a smile appeared on his face. The people here were all from the Heavenly Talisman Realm.

Seems like, for this crisis, the strength of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect wasn’t enough and still had to borrow the strength of the Heavenly Talisman Realm to aid them. This was also within his expectations. From the start ever since the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord established the immortal sect, there already was a connection between him and the Heavenly Talisman Realm.

Also, the Heavenly Talisman Realm had been giving missions to push their disciples and aid the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect to help destroy the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect as their end-goal for the short-term was to unify the thirteen prefectures under their name. If they could achieve this, in the future, the name of the thirteen prefectures would be known as the the Thousand Transformations Thirteen Prefectures.

"Junior brother Qin has returned." Everyone sat there as they chatted idly. Upon seeing Qin Wentian coming over, a person smiled and waved in greeting. It was actually none other than the Saberlord of Death.

"It has been many years since we last met, senior apprentice brother is still as glorious as ever." Qin Wentian smiled.

"How the hell am I glorious? I think you are the glorious one instead. Back then when I first met you, your cultivation base was still so low but you are now already an immortal king, quickly chasing up to me." The Saberlord of Death laughed. "Bai Wuya’s judgement is truly exceptional."

"But if I want to increase my cultivation base now, it’s no longer so easy." Qin Wentian smiled. He intentionally paid attention to the Saberlord’s cultivation. The Saberlord was a middle-stage immortal king and back then in the war back in his particle world, he could already see the difference between the Saberlord and Bai Wuya. It was just that he had no clear idea on the differences in their strength. Now, when thinking back, Bai Wuya back then was already at the peak-stage of the immortal king realm.

"Wentian, there’s no need to be humble. Your cultivation speed truly puts all of us seniors to shame." Bai Wuya sat on the host seat, laughing as he spoke. The people here were all from the Heavenly Talisman Realm, there was no need to hide anything from each other.

"Senior brother, you are already an immortal emperor, don’t make fun of me okay?" Qin Wentian’s lips twitched, his words causing everyone here to laugh. A female immortal king among them spoke, "The two of you are truly awesome. But if both of you are intentionally being so civil, that would really be over the line."

Qin Wentian glanced at the female immortal king as he greeted, "Senior apprentice sister."

"Mhm." That female immortal king nodded.

"Is Qingxuan still fine? It has been a very long time since I have last seen her." Qin Wentian asked. Zi Qingxuan, was a beautiful maiden in the same group as Qin Wentian and Jun Mengcheng back then when they first joined, travelling together and taking on the same missions. This female immortal king was none other than the senior apprentice sister who invited Zi Qingxuan to join the Heavenly Talisman Realm. Back then, Qin Wentian met her once before, this was why he remembered her.

"Qingxuan is naturally fine, it’s just that the pressure on her is extremely great." The female immortal king rolled her eyes at Qin Wentian. "In the past, the three of you roamed the immortal realms together and headed to the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect to participate in their disciple-recruiting event. At that time, the cultivation bases of the three of you were somewhat similar but now, you have already entered the immortal king realm. Jun Mengchen also recently broken past that stage and he is now with the senior apprentice brother who invited him to join us, roaming the world and tempering himself. As for Qingcheng, she is somewhat a little inferior in comparison."

"Well, it isn’t that Qingxuan is weak, it’s just that she is in the same group as these two monsters, Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen. Even among us, let alone for Qingxuan, these two youngsters can be considered as monsters given their cultivation speed. However, this might be pressure, but this could also be a source of motivation." Bai Wuya smiled. The female immortal king nodded but she was somewhat depressed in her heart. Back then, she still wanted to compare Zi Qingxuan and the two young fellows but now, the result was clear, her judgement wasn’t as good when compared to Bai Wuya and the other fellow sect member who invited Jun Mengchen.

"That’s true. With these two powerful juniors, even us old fellows are feeling the heat of pressure." Another immortal king who was sitting by the side, started laughing. This time, all of them received the same mission - to destroy the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. Naturally, they were all of one mind.

"Wentian, there are some masks here. Choose one." Bai Wuya waved his hand as a number of specially manufactured different-shaped immortal masks appeared in the air.

Qin Wentian stared doubtfully at the masks before he heard Bai Wuya speaking, "All the apprentice siblings here would often have to roam about in the immortal realms and they might be easily recognized by our enemies. By wearing these masks in combat, we would be able to hide ourselves. If not, if there’s a sudden surge of immortal kings in the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, it would definitely arouse suspicions."

Qin Wentian nodded. In a large-scale war involving so many immortal kings, it was truly easy to arouse suspicions.

"Senior brother, can I take more of these masks?" Qin Wentian asked, he didn’t explain about the Battle Saint Tribe but Bai Wuya had already guessed it. Back then at the immortal-foundation realm, Qin Wentian already had experts from the Battle Saint Tribe following him. Although Bai Wuya was curious, he didn’t probe further since Qin Wentian didn’t say anything.

"Sure, there are plenty here." Bai Wuya waved his hand as more masks appeared. When Qin Wentian saw this, he instantly understood that senior brother Bai had prepared all these for him.

"Wentian, go make your preparations. Right now, our strength is concentrated in the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect and the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect is also trying to consolidate their strength, summoning their troops back. Before they launch an all-out attack, we want to test out their strength in a few battles first. Just so coincidentally, since you have already broken through to the immortal king realm. You can use your identity as the Emperor Lord’s disciple, and fight the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect as an immortal king of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, tempering yourself using their immortal kings as the grindstone." Bai Wuya suggested. Qin Wentian nodded, understanding Bai Wuya’s intent. Bai Wuya wanted to start a few smaller-scale battles as training for him.

"Right." Qin Wentian nodded. "In that case, seniors, I will bid farewell first."

"Go on." Everyone nodded.

Qin Wentian returned to his own residence and surrounded his place with his immortal sense, erecting a barrier. Qingcheng was waiting for him, and when she saw that Qin Wentian had returned, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face, "The two of us are alone here, the sudden peace and quiet makes me a little unused to it."

Walking to her side, Qin Wentian cradled Mo Qingcheng’s face with his hands. He then gently spoke, "The great war is imminent, we should enjoy these rare moments of peace properly. Don’t you think so too?"

A radiant smile appeared on Mo Qingcheng’s beautiful face, causing the heart of Qin Wentian to stir as he stared on, in a daze.

"These few years, you have been cultivating alone in a faraway location, it must have been hard on you." Qin Wentian’s voice turned even more tender.

"Now that I’m back, how do you want to make things up to me?" Mo Qingcheng’s smile grew mischievous.

"What do you want?" Qin Wentian smiled in a naughty and playful manner as he winked to Mo Qingcheng. Upon realizing Qin Wentian’s intent, Mo Qingcheng instantly blushed. She didn’t dare to meet his eyes as she whispered, "You have bad intentions."

"Haha, my Qingcheng finally noticed." Qin Wentian extended his arms and embraced her, carrying her into their room as a sweet story unfolded!
