The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 26: Strengthening

Without hesitation, Qin Wentian threw away the long spear he was holding. A lone traveler holding a long spear as a divine weapon? It was too conspicuous and would allow his pursuers to easily track his movements by questioning innocent people.

Qin Wentian would not allow his pride to soar his ego just because he managed to kill a cultivator of the Artery Circulation Realm. After all, his opponent was only a Martial Cultivator and possessed a limited amount of energy. If the opponent he was facing was only slightly stronger than the one he had killed before, there would be no way for him to win. Even if he had the help of a long spear, the ending remained the same: death.

After disposing of the spear, Qin Wentian bought a robe from a random shop on the street and hid the layer of his original clothes underneath. When Qin Wentian moved in the streets, he would see his pursuers looking high and low for him. Acting indifferently as if he belonged there, Qin Wentian walked the streets openly, ducking into the hallways when needed.

But Qin Wentian felt extremely depressed. He discovered that this region was already sealed by the people from the Ye Clan and the Bai Clan, and that his pursuers were growing by more and more – blocking all the entrances. There were many times when he had to return halfway before he could be recognized. Escaping from this region was as difficult as ascending to Heaven.

“Blocking the entrance also sent some people to explore the streets. This way, it will only be a matter of time before they find me. "Qin Wentian was leaning against the thick wall at this moment when his hands were casually fiddling with the star-shaped object that Black Uncle had passed through. He had no idea what this object was for, but he knew that it was impossible for Uncle Black to give him such a useless item.

At this moment, the sound of light footsteps could be heard approaching him. From the corner of his eyes, as he looked at the figure slowly walking towards him, Qin Wentian's heart skipped a beat. As Qin Wentian lowered his head, it triggered the suspicion of the approaching person, causing that person to shout, "Lift your head."

Qin Wentian did not heed the orders, and as his opponent got closer, his body stiffened as spirals of astral energy gathered in his body.

Suddenly, Qin Wentian raised his head and moved to attack. The whistling sound spread in the air. He swept his spear horizontally, preparing to cut his opponent's neck. At this moment, his opponent's face started to look.

(TL: I don't know where he got that spear from. The author simply said he threw away his spear earlier because it was too conspicuous)

"Second Uncle," Qin Wentian took a breath in surprise. This person was Qin He, he did not expect Qin He would chase after him right after Qin Wentian created a disturbance.

"Live on." Qin He only spoke two words as he quickly retreated from the alley, wearing the same long robe as Qin Wentian and a conical bamboo hat, bowing his head. The weapons he used were also long spears, and his long robe covered their height difference. As long as no one paid attention to his features clearly, there would not be too much of a difference between him and Qin Wentian.

"Second Uncle" Qin Wentian exclaimed in a low voice as he realized what Qin He was going to do, only to hear the sound of a collision outside the alley. It was as if Qin He was deliberately knocking down something to attract the attention of his pursuers.

"We found it."

"Here!" The excited voices of the pursuers floated up, causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble.

"Live on." Qin He's voice echoed in his mind. Many thoughts appeared in Qin Wentian's head. Once upon a time, Qin He hated him, treated him coldly, and even wanted to expel him from the Qin Clan. But now, when it came to the life and death situation, Qin He unhesitatingly walked out in order to save her — leaving a heroic view of her back and two words.

Qin Wentian also thought of Bai Qingsong's hypocritical side. There are some who are happy to see from the outside — graceful and graceful in their behavior — but deep down, their hearts contain a very despicable and vile character. However, there were others, who looked cold on the surface, but where his courage and bravery were unmatched when the situation demanded it.

The people of the Qin Clan shed blood, not tears.

"i have to live on." Qin Wentian clenched his fists with only one thought in his mind: live on.

Turning around, Qin Wentian chose the opposite direction from Qin He and continued. Qin He had deliberately placed himself in danger and probably would not have survived – and it was all for the sake of giving Qin Wentian a weak hope of survival. For the sake of Qin He's sacrifice, Qin Wentian gritted his teeth and swore that he would definitely escape from this place today.

Qin Wentian's footsteps became faster and faster. Since Qin He had gone through the trouble of creating a huge disturbance while attracting all the pursuers, Qin Wentian needed to seize this opportunity to escape before Qin He's identity was revealed.

The anger in his heart, as well as his thirst for survival, turned into motivation. Qin Wentian increased his speed and drove through the streets before finally reaching the entrance. No one is guarding the entrance. Without a trace of doubt, Qin Wentian rushed forward, and ten breaths later, a tall wall appeared by his side. This high wall separates the inner streets and the main roads from the outside.

At this moment, in front of Qin Wentian, a graceful silhouette appeared in the air, landing at the top of the high wall. The silhouette belonged to a girl about 18 years old. Her clothes wrapped around her body, fully displaying her contours, with black hair dancing on the wind. His eyes shone with a gleam as he discovered Qin Wentian, putting his hands into his mouth as he whistled, revealing an extremely dazzling smile on his face.

However, to her great surprise, she soon discovers that the woman is reflecting her movements. He went in the same direction as her, even though she was on top of a high wall, while she was below him, on the streets.

"Haha, did you find him?" A crisp voice rang out, and immediately, Qin Wentian saw the shadow of another person jumping in the air and landing on top of the high wall. The new arrival set its sights on him.

“I, this little boy, personally lead the search. Of course there won't be any problems. ”Women from before laugh. The two of them seemed to have no intention of talking to Qin Wentian as they followed him on the streets, causing Qin Wentian to feel somewhat annoyed in his heart. On the other side of the wall there is a main road. The actions of the two clowns on the wall would definitely attract the attention of others, and if this continued, he would definitely be exposed.

Increasing his speed again, Qin Wentian drove through several streets and alleys before finally arriving on the main road, preparing to head for the Star River Association to seek shelter.

The sound of a galloping horse rang out as the lump of earth slipped apart, creating a layer of dust. Very quickly, Qin Wentian noticed a platoon of troops riding his way, and the person leading was none other than Ye Mo.

"You Mo." Ye Mo's appearance, as well as the presence of so many troops, caused Qin Wentian to turn pale. He opens. This time, even if he had wings, he would still find it difficult to escape from here.

"I want him to live." Ye Mo coldly commanded, not trying to cover up the killing intent in his eyes. Immediately, the shadows of the two figures rushed out at a frightening speed, causing Qin Wentian to slightly shudder. These two opponents were definitely in the Arterial Circulation Realm.

But, at the same time, Qin Wentian had no time to react when a gust of strong wind blew past him, materializing into a black shadow that drove towards the two cultivators of the Artery Circulation Realm.

Violet's tremors shook the ground as the shadowy figure was at every step, leaving behind an extremely deep footprint on the ground, causing people's hearts to tremble.

"Puichi!" Time is slow when the sound of light is heard. Qin Wentian observed that the palm of the mysterious figure was comparable to a sharp sword and directly pierced into the heart of the two cultivators. With a little exertion, that fellow easily killed the two cultivators from the Ye Clan, slowly leaving their bodies crumbling to the ground.

"How strong." Qin Wentian's face froze as he realized that the mysterious figure was none other than one of the two figures speeding over the high walls earlier. And at that moment, the woman from before appeared in front of him. Not only that, a group of figures, all of them appearing to be under 20 and exuding an unusually large aura, appeared a moment later from all directions.

"The junior-apprentice brother seems to be quite handsome." The woman from before had a little charming smile on her face and a fragrance about her that — besides her form clothes that further accentuated her well-endowed figure — made her as bewitching as a female demon. His appearance was on the same scale as the four great beauties in Sky Harmony City, but he had one point lacking; she is very seductive — is able to make any man feel the evil fire burning on their waist.

"Junior brother apprentice?" Confusion covered her face after hearing the term called the woman.

However, he immediately understood why after he saw the Mustang.

This made the background of the youths clear: they were all members of the Star Emperor Academy.

"I can't believe that this is the intention of Emperor Star Academy — right?" Ye Mo spoke calmly. The Star Emperor Academy should have nothing to do with this matter. Mustang and the others have no business here.

“This is my idea, Mustang. This had nothing to do with the Star Emperor Academy. ”Mustang replied calmly. The truth was what Ye Mo had expected; because of the Royal Clan, as well as the indirect pressure caused by the complicated network of economic affairs, the Mustang's request for the Star Emperor Academy to send help was rejected. And hence, with no other choice, the Mustang and its allies had to come to Sky Harmony City alone.

As for the true reason behind the rejection, the Mustang had no idea. However, he really liked this young man, Qin Wentian. Be it personality or talent, the Mustang had no complaints. Therefore, he wanted to protect Qin Wentian. Penalty of all his students and rushing all night – finally, they witnessed the previous scenario.

"Because as I've guessed, I don't have to worry."

Ye Mo coldly replied as he waved his hand. Almost immediately, the soldiers under his control surrounded Qin Wentian and the others. Although the combat abilities of the Star Emperor Academy were outstanding, Ye Mo held an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. Since Mustang and his disciples wanted to interfere in this matter, they would all be buried here today.
