The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 69: Meeting Again

Two hours later, several silhouettes appeared in the same mountain valley. The one leading was a young cultivator around 16 to 17 years old. Possessing a calm nature and otherworldly grace, she gave off an insurmountable mountain feeling. Just by standing there, one could almost feel the radiance of light from himself, so bright that it was as if everyone around him was just acting as a background, as if, increase the contrast and bring it out with greater brilliance.

Logan and the others stood around the young man, feeling extremely worried. Naturally, they failed to capture Little Rascal. The bastard led them in a joyous pursuit for a long time before leaving them, and when they walked back to where they came from, Luo Qianqiu and his entire entourage had already arrived.

"Where is the Blood Bucket Fruit?" Luo Qianqiu's voice voice was calm, without a trace of emotion. But just from hearing the sentence itself, vibrations spread to Logan's spine as his entire body stiffened. He respectfully replied, "Young Master Luo, Qin Wentian cleverly delayed us on purpose while instructing the demonic beast that he believed stole all the Blood Bucket Fruits we wanted to present to Young Master Luo."

Franklin approached Luo Qianqiu as he whispered a few sentences to her. Even then, there was no change in his expression.

Ranked one among the new batch of students, Qin Wentian?

Luo Qianqiu was not interested in this ..

"Go rinse him." Luo Qianqiu ordered calmly. Logan, immediately bowed low and replied confidently, "Logan will definitely do his best."

After promising this, Logan led several others away, chasing the direction Qin Wentian had last seen.

“This mountain valley is very hidden. Go and look around and see if there are any more valuable treasures nearby. ”Luo Qianqiu ordered. Upon hearing the command, the people behind him immediately spread out in four directions, their bodies flickering as they moved. It was as if Luo Qianqiu's words were an imperial edict that could not be resisted.

Very quickly, only Franklin and Zero were left on Luo Qianqiu's side.

"Zero, the new student of Star Emperor Academy, is willing to obey all orders and follow Young Master Luo from now on." Zero bowed low. He was very confident in Luo Qianqiu's position and status within Emperor Star Academy.

A genius sent by Heaven, Luo Qianqiu was also ranked one among the new batch of students when he first joined the academy. Not only that, he could easily dominate even a 2nd year senior. A year later, he joined the Asura Faction and took up one of his leadership positions.

Other than Luo Qianqiu's extremely powerful talent, the cultivation arts and innate techniques he had developed were terrifying. Not only that, he came from an incredible background, and hence not many were willing to offend him. Other than having great talent, he worked very hard in his cultivation. Almost every day, he can be found drugging himself in the Dreamsky Forest, dueling with all the challengers until he dies from injury before starting the whole process again.

Since he could already be this cruel to himself, treating himself harshly and even dying a few times in the process, his attitude towards his enemies was needless to say.

"Braying your own comrade, you don't even have the qualifications to be my dog. Get lost! ”Luo Qianqiu exclaimed coldly, causing Zero's unsightly face to turn pale, bloodless. He had chosen to betray Qin Wentian in order to obtain some Blood Bucket Fruit from Franklin, but who knew that all spiritual fruits would eventually end up in Qin Wentian's possession?

And now, he was even humiliated to such an extent by Luo Qianqiu.

Zero bowed as his face wrinkled, choosing to leave quietly.

"Young Master Luo, do you want me to arrange his death?" Franklin whispered at Luo Qianqiu's side. Since Zero could betray Qin Wentian out of hatred, he could also cause trouble for them in the future. What's the point of letting someone like that live?

"No need." Luo Qianqiu calmly replied. He then turned around and walked towards the valley. She, Luo Qianqiu, was someone with an extraordinary status; why would she be bullied about some little character like Zero? After all, he had a sense of pride.

Qin Wentian and Fan Le returned to the lake where they washed themselves previously. A while later, Little Rascal's silhouette appeared. Little Rascal ran over with a bag full of fruits in his mouth, stopping when he arrived at Qin Wentian's side.

"Good man." Qin Wentian opened the bag and saw ten Blood Ember Fruits secured inside. Little Rascal changed back to his small size when Qin Wentian rubbed his head, let out a hint of satisfaction gossip and wagged his tail happily.

"Little tissue, you consume so many Blood Buckets without any effect. Have you not found that you have wasted heavenly treasures? "Fan Le exclaimed as he moved to pat Little Rascal on the head. Curving his back, Little Rascal leaped away and looked at Fan Le with disdain in his gaze which caused Fan Le to roll his eyes.

"Think that this guy has a sharp nose for treasure." Qin Wentian's face was filled with smiles. As soon as they split those fruits, they quickly left the area. Because Zero knows this place, it would be better for them to find another safer place to consume the Blood Bucket Fruit and try their breakthrough to the level 3 Arterial Circulation before doing anything else.

It had been quite a while since the two of them had stepped into the tier 2 Arterial Circulation and were enraged within the Dark Forest. Nearly salivating, Fan Le devoured three Blood Ember Fruits one after another as he managed to break through to level 3. His actions caused Qin Wentian to fall silent. Wasn't what he did on par with what he had just told Little Rascal? Throw away heavenly treasures ……

And as for Qin Wentian, after he had consumed two spiritual fruits, he continued to get angry in the Dark Forest, not daring to ignore his cultivation. And finally, ten days later, he also managed to break through to the 3rd level of Arterial Circulation, opening the 3rd circular artery pathway. The streams of Astral Energy in his body were much smoother now compared to before, and it was as if his entire body was undergoing a transformation. The feeling of this type of change ... is so magical!

As for the three remaining Blood Bucket Fruits, Qin Wentian was in no hurry to consume them. This type of spiritual fruit can be considered very valuable and very difficult to find. If not for Little Rascal taking the lead, they would not have seen the hidden mountain valley. It would be best for him to save the Blood Bucket Fruit for the future, only swallowing it at the moment he tried a breakthrough.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed. The tree leaves in the Dark Forest turned a color of fear as they floated with the wind and fell to the earth, signaling the arrival of Autumn.

Currently, in the Dark Forest, the silhouettes of two young men and a snowy puppy were often seen. They crossed all four directions, hunting demon beasts left and right. Very quickly, the demonic beasts from the nearby area recognized them and treated them as monsters, escaping, not even trying to fight when they met the three hunters.

The Garuda Movement Technique Qin Wentian had reached the peak of Skillful Level. Garuda's faint markings became clearer as it faintly glowed with light; even the aura emitted by Qin Wentian underwent a slight change. Perhaps it was because he absorbed the demonic essence from the many cores, but his entire body now seemed to emit an extremely faint demonic presence, undergoing a qualitative change. Apart from his body being stained with dirt and worn clothes, all of this could not cover up the light of vitality in his eyes. After months of restraint in the Dark Forest, Qin Wentian and Fan Le also grew slightly taller.

"Fatty, your figure is getting masculine." At this time, Qin Wentian beheaded the demonic beast with a dagger, taking out the demon core inside, as he smiled at Fan Le.

Fan Le became slimmer and more masculine after their constant fight with demonic beasts throughout this period of time.

"Well, I'm a man born to seduce goddesses, of course I have to look pretty handsome." Fan Le grinned, "Boss, do you still have the rest of the Blood Bucket Fruit? Can you give me some? "

"You bastard, you tortured yourself until you finished your part, and you still want me to share my part with you? Keep dreaming. "Qin Wentian grunts. This fatty, in an attempt to break through to the 4th level of the Artery Circulation, had exhausted the remaining deposits of his two Blood Buckets at once to reach level 3. However, he failed to break through, and instead his cultivation base rose to the peak of level 3.

"Come, we're brothers." Fan Le grumbled, but when they decided to leave the place, the voice of someone asking for help could be heard. Qin Wentian and Fan Le's bodies flickered, and a moment later, they saw a group of people chasing after a regretful-looking figure.

"Zero?" An interesting expression appeared on Fatty's face. He set his eyes on the person being chased.

Looking at Qin Wentian and Fan Le, Zero halted his steps as a ray of hope appeared in his eyes. He shouted, "Qin Wentian, Fan Le, save me! They want to kill me! ”

The pursuers chased after and surrounded Zero. One of them exclaimed, “Friends, during our battle with some demonic beasts, this despicable person actually stole the demon core we left at the side. Please do not interfere in our business. "

"They lied, they took the demon cores from the cultivators they killed!" Zero's face underwent a drastic change as he looked at Qin Wentian and Fan Le pitifully. They are his last hope of survival.

"People like you should consider yourself lucky because I didn't personally kill you myself" Fan Le replied coldly. Back when Zero betrayed them by bringing a group of people to deal with them, did he even think about their feelings once?

Zero's expression froze. Looking towards Qin Wentian, he sincerely begged, "Qin Wentian, we were once comrades. Please save me!"

“My friendship was only given once. Once you abuse the trust between us, it is gone forever. "Qin Wentian, like Fan Le, coldly replied before turning his back as he prepared to leave.

"They have the Blood Bucket Fruit on their bodies." Zero shouted frantically as he pointed to Qin Wentian and Fan Le. "Not just one, they have more than ten pieces with them."

Qin Wentian and Fan Le stopped their steps, only to see Zero's face wrinkled with hatred. Glaring at them angrily, Zero cursed. It's all their fault, put him in a situation like this today.

"Haha, wow very much alive." A voice floated from a distance as a number of silhouettes ran over. There are a total of six people led by Logan's only one.

"Qin Wentian, hand over the Blood Bucket Fruit." Logan's gaze turned cold. Meanwhile, the group of people who had been chasing Zero turned their gaze to Qin Wentian with greed visible in their eyes.

Qin Wentian recalled the words he had heard earlier about the Dark Forest: demonic beasts are not the most dangerous creatures that one would encounter. On the contrary, the most dangerous thing is the human heart.

"Qin Wentian, Fan Le, prepare to go to hell." Shouted Zero hatefully.

Unexpectedly, IQin Wentian's body instantly turned into a blur from the shadows. Disciple Zero narrowed as he quickly retreated, trying to retreat.

A red blood ray flashed, followed by a dagger slashing down Zero's throat. With both hands around his neck, the look in his eyes spoke of absolute terror as he stared at the towering Qin Wentian. He fell to his knees. He never thought that his life, the young flame that burned the void, would be easily extinguished in this way.

In the sea of thought, many things flashed. He was so young yet strong enough to qualify for Emperor Star Academy. How proud was he at that time? Inviting Qin Wentian and Fan Le to hunt ferocious beasts and soften their combat skills in the Dark Forest, this was his idea. How happy was he when they agreed?

But all of this disappeared into thin air with the appearance of the Blood Bucket Fruit. His life path was already destined to end when he made the decision to betray Qin Wentian.
