Chapter 1340: Too Late for Regrets
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Beiming Nongyue's words instantly shifted the attention of everyone to Qin Wentian. She came here personally, and was holding Li Yufeng's hands, causing boundless shock to everyone. Li Yufeng was the Saint Child of the Hundred Refinements Sect.
And now, Beiming Nongyue was treating Qin Wentian equally too. Who was he exactly?
In fact, Beiming Nongyue's tone had the lilting hint of a tease.
"You can come find me directly too, how would I not dare to welcome a grand character like you?"
What status did this young man have exactly? Why was he qualified for the princess to joke with him? Also, the term which Beiming Nongyue referred to him as, was very interesting as well. A grand character?
In addition, Li Yufeng earlier also said that he came here only because he discovered Qin Wentian was here. For someone that could instantly attract the Saint Child of the Hundred Refinements Sect over, and even made the Darknorth Princess refer to him as such, what sort of person was he exactly?
At the very least, this Qin Wentian must have an equal status in comparison to them. Not only in terms of cultivation base, but also in terms of talent and background.
After all, if speaking of cultivation bases, most of the people here had equal cultivation bases to Li Yufeng and Beiming Nongyue.
Originally, Duanmu Xiu's heart was already numb. Earlier, if it still wasn't bad enough that he offended Li Yufeng, right now, he was thoroughly in the throes of despair. He had insulted Qin Wentian much worse compared to how he insulted Li Yufeng.
And now, the words spoken by Princess Nongyue were undoubtedly telling him that it didn't matter who he offended because he couldn't afford to offend any of them.
The people of the Wan Clan were all shaking, even for Wan Qingshan who was still being stomped on by Qin Wentian. At this instant, he didn't feel anger nor humiliation. He only felt despair.
Before this, all those mocking words he had spoken to Qin Wentian before now contained a pressure heavy enough to squash him to death.
"Grand character?" Qin Wentian didn't think so much. When he heard how Beiming Nongyue addressed him, he couldn't help but laugh as he shrugged his shoulders. "I came here to temper myself and just so coincidentally, the date for the opening of the Darknorth Immortal Mountain is near. And who would have thought that the person hosting the banquet would actually be you? If I knew this, I wouldn't have mingled with the crowd. I was even told to scram and received death threats."
Qin Wentian's casual words, were like thunder ringing out in Mu Qiu, Duanmu Xiu and the Wan Clan's ears. Before this, Qin Wentian was merely a 'minor' character. Nobody would care about his words. In fact, he was even insulted by others as they assumed his words to be of arrogance. But now, each and every one of his words would determine the life and death of these people around him.
"Am I wrong saying that you are a grand character? Back then, wherever you went, all the geniuses there would tremble as you caused a storm of blood." Beiming Nongyue laughed. "At that time, compared to you, I who am a princess of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty did truly seem insignificant."
"Yeah, when I was knocked off from the Supreme Might Rankings by you back then, I always wanted to find you for a spar. However, I soon discovered that I wouldn't be able to win. As the Saint Child of the Hundred Refinements Sect, I can only shake my head in despair." Li Yufeng laughed. He still couldn't see through Qin Wentian, but back then in that intense battle at the sacred academy where Qin Wentian fought against Huang Shatian to a draw, Li Yufeng knew that he wouldn't be able to do the same.
Also, afterwards he also learned that at the foot of the devil mountain, Qin Wentian had actually defeated Huang Shatian. Under the immortal king realm, there shouldn't be anyone else who can defeat him despite the vastness of the immortal realms.
"Who is this fellow exactly?"
"Princess Nongyue and Saint Child Li Yufeng, although they seem to be joking, their words clearly indicate that they are inferior to Qin Wentian. How terrifying is Qin Wentian exactly…?"
Beiming Nongyue's fame wasn't simply dependent on her beauty. And since Li Yufeng could become the Saint Child of the Hundred Refinements Sect, it naturally depended on his absolute talent. However, the two of them were actually indicating that they were inferior to this inconspicuous character among the crowd. How could the hearts of everyone not tremble?
"You guys should stop praising me so much." Qin Wentian shook his head and smiled. "It has been so many years since we last met. Now that I met you, a couple who engenders envy in others, shouldn't you two treat me to a drink?"
"Naturally, after the matter here is settled, come with me to my pavilion. I will show graciousness of being the host." Beiming Nongyue nodded and smiled.
Their conversations were like old friends speaking, ordinary and mediocre. Qin Wentian's tone was as calm as ever, even when he was facing the incredibly lofty and high-up Princess Nongyue.
Right now, the faces of everyone in the Wan Clan were burning with shame when they thought that in the past, Qin Wentian was intentionally speaking arrogantly to elevate himself. But when a person of his status spoke to people like Duanmu Xiu, did he even need to act? Even if he was speaking to Beiming Nongyue, he was as calm as ever. Those with true pride in themselves who acted like this no matter who they were facing. Hence, there was no need for him to look up to anyone, he could calmly treat them equally.
Only now did the people of the Wan Clan understand. Their hearts were like being sliced by blades. Wan Yiyao didn't even dare to look at Qin Wentian directly now, that young man who was speaking to Princess Nongyue.
As for Mu Qiu, it was as though the three of them have forgotten about him. Even for the immortal emperor's immortal sense, it was being ignored as well. What attitude was this?
It was like from their point of views, Mu Qiu basically was an insignificant worm. As for the immortal sense of the immortal emperor, it was after all, merely a strand of immortal sense. Unless of course the immortal emperor personally appeared, maybe then, they would take him more seriously.
"Pu."
At this moment, a light plopping sound rang out, causing the eyes of everyone to narrow as their hearts pounded.
The young master of the Duanmu Clan actually knelt down to Li Yufeng and Qin Wentian at this moment.
The lofty and arrogant Duanmu Xiu was actually kneeling on the ground and even kowtowing to them. "I, Duanmu Xiu, have eyes but couldn't see. Earlier, I insulted both sirs but luckily, I have not commit any great mistakes yet. I hope that Princess and the two sirs would be able to forgive me. If you have any requests, I, Duanmu Xiu, would naturally do my best to fulfil them."
Duanmu Xiu knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, there was an intense struggle in his heart. He was lofty and arrogant. However, this completely destroyed his pride. Earlier, the three of them casually spoke, yet this made Duanmu Xiu truly sense how extraordinary they are. They simply didn't care about the life or death of Mu Xiu. Naturally, they didn't care about him as well. Even for the protective immortal sense of an immortal emperor, they had the guts to ignore it.
He wanted to leave here alive, and if he wanted to do so, he could only kneel and beg for mercy.
Mu Qiu, Duanmu Xiu were both incomparably arrogant people. Right now, Mu Qiu was on the verge of death. Duanmu Xiu was kneeling and begging for mercy.
Before this, their arrogant behaviours were still fresh on everyone's minds. Duanmu Xiu, the legendary character whom everyone revered, was know on his knees, begging Qin Wentian for mercy.
She once said that Qin Wentian was just an ant while Duanmu Xiu was a legendary character standing on the clouds. Duanmu Xiu only needed to casually stomp and Qin Wentian would be squashed to bits.
She once said that Qin Wentian was a lowly character who didn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth.
But who was it exactly that was the lowly one?
Who was it exactly, that was the legendary character standing on the clouds?
Sometimes, those legendary characters might just be beside you but was ignored completely. In fact, they even insulted this man, projecting their contempt to him.
Today, the people of the Wan Clan clearly understood the idiom, 'having eyes but unable to see clearly.'
"Brother Qin, have you decided?" Princess Nongyue asked.
Qin Wentian calmly regarded Duanmu who was kneeling before him. He had no looks of satisfaction on his face. With regards to this, he really couldn't be bothered at all. At the start, Duanmu Xiu was exceedingly arrogant and even insulted him. But now, his arrogance most probably had completely crumbled.
Actually, he didn't need to do anything. From now on, Duanmu Xiu would never be able to raise his head high again. The moment he knelt today, his prestige had been completely destroyed.
"Scram." Qin Wentian blasted out a palm strike and with a bang, Duanmu Xiu was blasted far away. An imprint of five fingers could also be seen on his face. Qin Wentian didn't take his life, but the misery in Duanmu Xiu's heart now was even tougher to endure compared to death.
He really rolled away, leaving here like a defeated dog. He might have kept his life, but he lost all his face and prestige. From now on, he would never be the same again.
Qin Wentian naturally understood this. Duanmu Xiu's life was in his hands, but he still chose to spare him. The Darknorth Immortal Dynasty ruled over this area, but no matter what, the Duanmu Clan was still an emperor-ranked power. With the Mu Clan, these two emperor-ranked powers must definitely have terrifying influence. Although the dynasty wouldn't care about a single immortal emperor, Qin Wentian still had to consider things for Beiming Nongyue. It was enough to kill a single Mu Qiu. Duanmu Xiu wasn't as disgusting as Mu Qiu, and so, he decided to spare him.
"Plop." Mu Qiu also knelt down at this instant. Qin Wentian glanced at him with disgust. Earlier, the words he spoke to Zhiyin were already sufficient to determine his death.
"It's useless even if you kneel." Qin Wentian calmly spoke. As he spoke, Li Yufeng nodded, "I think so too."
As the sound of his voice faded, the people of the Hundred Refinements Sect naturally helped him to make a move. A blast of refinement energy shot out, enveloping and devouring Mu Qiu completely. Mu Qiu was being refined by that terrifying destructive might as he screamed in agony. The body formed by the immortal emperor's immortal sense was trembling in anger but he couldn't do anything. He then turned to Beiming Nongyue, "Princess, I will take my leave."
As the sound of his voice faded, the immortal sense dissipated away. A powerful young master of the Mu Clan died just like that.
"Are there any of your friends among them?" Beiming Nongyue glanced at the Wan Clan.
"This is Zhiyin, a friend of mine. This is her father, Wan Zhuqing, they are good friends which I got acquainted with as I travelled here." Qin Wentian smiled as he introduced.
"Miss Zhiyin, Mr. Wan." Beiming Nongyue smiled and nodded to them both.
"Princess." Zhiyin bowed, she naturally knew of etiquette. But Wan Zhuqing wasn't as calm as her. He was trembling as he bowed, "Wan Zhuqing pays his respects to Princess."
"Old sir, since you are the friend of Brother Qin, you naturally are a valued guest of my Darknorth Immortal Dynasty. There's no need to be so polite." Beiming Nongyue smiled. When the people of the Wan Clan saw this scene, they even had thoughts of wanting to die.
