Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1442: Wishes

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

With just a sword strike, Lu Yanxue was slain.

Lu Yanxue, how magnificent was her status as a heavily-favored elder in the Snowdrift Sage Hall? With her here, the major powers of the Coldnether Immortal City all came by to pay their respects. Other than congratulating the City Lord, their other purpose was naturally to see Lu Yanxue.

Lu Yanxue’s status was extraordinarily high. Other than her father who was the City Lord, there was no one else in her eyes. She could summon the wind and rain in this immortal city with a single word, deciding the life and death of people. In fact, she even wanted to decide Chu Qingyi’s marriage, telling Chu Qingyi to choose between Lu Zhanfei and Wu Tianjiao.

Lu Yanxue still wanted Chu Qingyi to personally kill Qin Wentian to prove her ‘innocence.’

But now, Wu Tianjiao and Wu Bufan have both fallen, Mo Xiaoxiao also died.

Lu Yanxue also was dead by a single sword strike. The powerful peak-stage immortal king City Lord, actually hesitated due to a sentence and a stare from Qin Wentian, suffering injuries to his dao heart. Right now, the countenance of the City Lord was pale white, as he visibly aged.

Today, it was initially supposed to be a day of celebration where countless experts came by to offer their well wishes for his birthday.

But now, a joyous occasion turned into a sorrowful one.

The City Lord watched as his daughter Lu Yanxue was killed, yet he didn’t act. He was very clear of Lu Yanxue’s strength. But despite so, his daughter was killed by a single sword strike from this young man. Although this young man was only at the mid-stage of the immortal-king realm, regardless of his aura or combat prowess, both were at an extremely frightening level.

Just like what Chu Qingyi had said, there were some people who were born extraordinary, destined to be different from others. They would surpass and trample their peers, easily crushing through all obstacles as they ascend to the peak. These people could even jump levels and win.

At this moment, everyone in the City Lord Manor was completely shocked.

The people of Lu Clan stared at the floating figure in the air. When they felt his radiance, all of them bowed and felt ashamed of their own inferiority. Not long ago, they were actually still deciding how they should kill him. How ridiculous was this?

“City Lord Lu, when I was unconscious and brought here, Lu Yao fed a grand recovery pill to me. Although I didn’t request for that, I will naturally repay the gratitude for that pill. However, I didn’t do anything at all in your manor but Lu Yanxue and the rest wanted my death. Do you have any objections with regards to my slaughter of them?” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with sharpness, staring at the City Lord, his words causing the hearts of everyone to tremble once more. Even when facing a peak-stage immortal king, Qin Wentian was as domineering as ever.

Do you have any objections with regards to my slaughter of them?

The expression of the City Lord turned ashen as he sighed with sorrow in his heart. Their Lu Clan was truly blind, offending such a powerful character. He thought back to Qin Wentian’s earlier words, saying that they had no idea who he is. That was already a warning to them, yet they still persisted on offending him. Now that he thought back to it, he couldn’t help feeling extremely ironic.

How could such a grand character stand for their insults? How could he let things slide after they showed the intent to kill him?

Right now, the City Lord understood that even if he personally fought, he also didn’t have the confidence to win against Qin Wentian. Even if he won, he would not be able to kill him. As for Qin Wentian, he would still be able to easily slaughter the people of the Lu Clan. After all, the Lu Clan had offended Qin Wentian first.

“My Lu Clan is blind, I have no objections.” The City Lord gritted his teeth, wanting nothing more than to tear Qin Wentian into a thousand pieces in his heart. However, he had to endure this.

“Before this, I wanted to leave but was obstructed by you guys, imprisoning me in that residence. Now, can I leave?” Qin Wentian coldly asked.

“Naturally.” The City Lord spoke, his heart feeling exceptionally heavy. Everyone glanced at Qin Wentian while sighing in their hearts. Truly, earlier the Lu Clan didn’t allow him to leave. Now, they had to beg him to leave. If Qin Wentian didn’t leave, that would be a calamity for their Lu Clan.

“Lu Yao.” Qin Wentian turned his gaze over, staring at her. Lu Yao started, she glanced at the figure in the air as an indescribable emotion appeared in her heart. To think that the gentle and handsome young man whom she nursed back to health would be so extraordinary. Wu Tianjiao when compared to him, was nothing more than a crow being compared to a phoenix.

A smile appeared in Qin Wentian’s eyes. At this moment, all the sharpness flickering in his eyes disappeared. With a wave of his hand, he sent an interspatial ring floating through the air to her. He then spoke, “Lu Yao, you once told me your wishes. In this interspatial ring, there are many powerful cultivation arts, innate techniques and divine weapons that I specially chose for you. To me, these wouldn’t aid me much, but I’m sure they would be of a great help to your cultivation. There’s no need for you to decline this.”

Lu Yao’s body trembled slightly. Indeed, given Qin Wentian’s cultivation base and combat prowess, even for items he had no use for, would definitely be of immense benefit to her and many others. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

“I’m being hunted by immortal emperors, I can’t stay here or do too many things for you. Thank you for your care of me during these days, you are really kind-hearted and I treat you as a younger sister in my heart. When you took care of me, none of your kin stood by your side, they even mocked and ridiculed you. There’s no need to share anything in the interspatial ring with them, but you can share them with those who treat you truly from the bottom of their hearts.”

Qin Wentian slowly spoke. After that, he glanced at everyone, “Heed my words, Lu Yao is like a younger sister to me. If, in the future, my younger sister is bullied or tormented in the Lu Clan, I will seek you all out for an answer. If there’s anyone who dares to covet her items and act against her, I will wash the Lu Clan clean with all your blood.”

The hearts of everyone in the Lu Clan trembled. They knew that Lu Yao, the person whom they mocked before, would be embarking on a different path from now on. She had become the most fortunate person in the entire Lu Clan.

From now on, who would dare to do anything to her in their Lu Clan?

Lu Yao felt currents of warmth in her heart. She accepted Qin Wentian’s kind intentions. Her eyes were now red with tears. Before this, when her clan members mocked her, she truly felt very sad. For benefits, to bootlick Mo Xiaoxiao and Lu Yanxue, no one stood by her side. All sorts of ridicule were tossed her way.

But now, Qin Wentian did truly accomplish her wishes. She understood that Qin Wentian did all this because of her earlier conversation with him. And now, her wishes have turned into reality.

“Chu Qingyi.” Qin Wentian spoke again, his eyes turned over, landing on Chu Qingyi.

Chu Qingyi inclined her head and stared at Qin Wentian. Back then in the past, she still had the qualifications to stand equal to Qin Wentian. But now, she discovered that from now onwards, she could only incline her head and stare at him as the distance between them pulled apart.

The hope in her heart would never become a reality. Since their birth, they were already destined to be people of different worlds. In addition, the disparity between them would only grow greater and greater.

Such a character, she didn’t manage to enter his heart when they both stood on equal grounds. Right now, when he already stood at a peak so high up, it was no longer possible to get close to him. Chu Qingyi knew that it was impossible for them to be together. She could only fantasize in her heart. For some reason, since that abduction, she had unknowingly already fell for him.

“You are a holy maiden of the Snowdrift Sage Hall. I have no idea what do you lack. Do you have anything that you require my help for?” Qin Wentian asked.

Chu Qingyi stared at him as she replied, “You should know that when I helped you, I’ve never expected anything in return.”

“I understand.” Qin Wentian nodded, feeling complicated in his heart. Once, he wanted nothing more than to kill this woman before him. He had even abducted her and humiliated her. The two of them shared a grudge in the sacred academy, and he would never have expected that right now, Chu Qingyi actually fell for him. However, Qin Wentian knew that despite the help she gave, it was not possible for him to reciprocate her feelings.

For matters such as emotions of the heart, it was impossible to force them.

“Why don’t we start afresh? We can become very good friends.” Qin Wentian asked. He then continued, “In any case, Chu Qingyi, thank you.”

Chu Qingyi’s beautiful eyes flashed with a warm and gentle smile, moving to the extreme. Before this, everyone thought that Chu Qingyi was blind, actually falling in love with a trash. However, they finally understood what sort of character she was in love with. They also understood that this was destined to be a one-sided relationship for Chu Qingyi. But none of them felt that there was anything wrong, it felt very normal to them. The figure in the air was just too dazzling, even Lu Yanxue died in a single strike. Even for Holy Maiden Chu Qingyi, she was not of the same level as Qin Wentian.

“Thank you. I myself hated the me back then when I was in the sacred academy. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be the Chu Qingyi that I am now.” Chu Qingyi gently smiled, staring at Qin Wentian. She then continued, “At that time, my personality should be similar to Mo Xiaoxiao. Always thinking too highly of myself.”

“I have to leave here now.” Qin Wentian spoke. With such a huge battle here, news would definitely leak out. Although the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor might be very far away, it was still better for him to depart as soon as possible for the sake of safety.

“Mhm.” Chu Qingyi’s smile become more and more radiant.

Qin Wentian nodded to her. After that, he glanced at Lu Yao. “Lu Yao, farewell.”

“You say that you treat me as a younger sister. In that case, can I call you big brother?” Lu Yao smiled at Qin Wentian.

“Naturally.” Qin Wentian nodded with a smile.

“Big Brother Qin. In the future when you pass by the Lu Clan, you have to pay me a visit.” Lu Yao sweetly smiled.

“I will.” Qin Wentian nodded. After that, he turned and departed the area.

Chu Qingyi stared at his back and quietly mumbled, “Although the two of us are not fated, I will still stand on the ground and watch you ascend the peak. I’ll wait for the day when everyone in this world knows your name.”

Qin Wentian’s back gradually vanished. Lu Yao glanced at Chu Qingyi as she asked, “Can Big Brother Qin really stand at the pinnacle of the immortal realms?”

“Lu Yao, have you ever heard of someone breaking through to the mid-stage immortal king realm from the immortal-foundation realm in a few short tens of years?” Chu Qingyi smiled. Lu Yao’s heart trembled lightly as she shook her head. That’s right, there never has been someone with such fast cultivation speed before. If Qin Wentian can’t stand at the peak, who could?

Big Brother Qin said that there are immortal emperors wanting to kill him. From this, one could see that even immortal emperors felt an intense sense of threat from him.

The hearts of the people from the Lu Clan have already numbed. There were also some from the Snowdrift Sage Hall who were speechless. Nobody knew what they were feeling now.

For the birthday celebration of the City Lord, the City Lord should have been the main character. However, today, the main character was actually that person whom all of them mocked and wanted to kill!
