Chapter 1017: Traitor

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

These people would side with whichever direction the wind blew, but who knew what they?d face today? When the Star River Association took over this world, they had done so in such a domineering manner that no one dared to disobey them. In addition, if they surrendered they would be able to gain glory and riches. Why would they still choose to fight on?

One must know that there were many immortal senses of immortal foundation experts in the Medicine Sovereign Valley. This matter was a secret to all, but with the Star River Association?s arrival, the immortal senses had activated when the Medicine Sovereign was injured. However, the Star River Association paid no attention to them at all. They swiftly erased the strands of immortal sense with a warning to their owners that they?d best not meddle in the business of others. After which, they promptly destroyed the Medicine Sovereign Valley.

Faced against such overwhelming might, they could only struggle on while at death?s door.

Now, they were merely trying to find joy in their sorrow.

“Senior Sister, wait for me to become an immortal. I will definitely bring you around to enjoy life,” Fatty Fan Le said to Luo Huan.

“You?re talented enough to become one?” Luo Huan grinned as the others laughed.

?BOOM!? Abruptly, the earth shook with fierce tremors as the sound of a thunderbolt echoed out. Ouyang Kuangsheng?s eyes flickered with coldness.

“Even after hiding all the way out here, they are still so persistent. Is there no other place where we can find refuge?” Fatty?s eyes narrowed, also flickering with a cold light.

“Looks like we won?t be able to escape this calamity. However, I?m glad that I met all of you. Especially that little brat. Sadly, I won?t get another chance to see him one last time.” Luo Huan laughed gaily, but her eyes were red. Many of their experts were already injured, and they had no idea how to fend off this next round of attacks.

Everyone stood up and rushed outside. Releasing their respective cold intents, they braced themselves for the upcoming battle.

Outside the forest, Fairy Qingmei and the others were there. These were the initial hidden factions of the Azure Emperor Palace, the Mystic Moon Hall, and other allies. They led experts from their sects and clans, and they endeavored to repel their attackers, causing a cacophonous din to ring throughout the entire area. After they broke through the initial wave, they saw even more experts advancing towards their position. Among their enemies, many were people who wanted to gain rewards and favor from the Star River Association.

“Fairy Qingmei, where are you guys planning to escape to?” The sound of laughter echoed through the air. Fairy Qingmei appeared, and after seeing the enemy?s forces converging around the area, she knew that those who?d been sent to scout for information earlier had all been hunted down and killed. They were all the younger elites of Grand Xia. Ever since the Star River Association had publicized that reward list, their numbers had steadily dwindled.

“Many of you have submitted to our Grand Xia, including the transcendent powers of yesteryear. After so many years, Grand Xia has been fair in our treatment of you, yet you guys actually chose to join our enemy?” Fairy Qingmei coldly asked.

“Qingmei, a wise man submits to the circumstances. Since we are still living in this world, it?s only natural to submit to a greater power.” An old man spoke, it was none other than the head of one of the transcendent powers that submitted in the past.

“Shameless.” Fairy Qingmei?s eyes gleamed with cold killing intent.

“Shameless?” That person laughed. “For so many years, how glorious were you Fairy Qingmei? You have unparalleled charm, and I believed I hadn?t enjoyed the taste of a female demonic beast who has taken human form before.”

As the sound of his voice faded, raucous laughter filled the air. But towering waves of anger rose from those who were in Fairy Qingmei?s faction. They were this close to killing their way over.

“Don?t be enraged. Form our formation, they are intentionally trying to incite our anger so our hearts will fall into chaos.” Fairy Qingmei spoke. The experts from her faction nodded as they formed a formation. The reason why they were able to survive this long was because of these battle combination formations. They were one complete entity while the Star River Association was made up of different groups of experts, they had no way to stand against such formations.

“Haha, although Fairy Qingmei?s age is somewhat great, she still has the looks and charm. No problem, I will grant her for you old fellows to enjoy after this is done. For the other females as well as the girls from the Mystic Moon Hall, Yun Mengyi, Jiang Ting, Luo Huan and Bailu Yi are all extreme beauties. Don?t kill them, just cripple their cultivations and leave them alive so we can enjoy them slowly.”

An evil-sounding voice rang out, wanting to intentionally make them go into rage, disrupting their state of mind. And as expected, as the sound of the words faded, many females had cold-expressions on their faces as their killing intents surged out, wanting nothing more than to storm out of the formation and kill the man who spoke.

“Everyone, if you want to capture them alive, work harder in this battle. Go surround them.” An expert from the Star River Association commanded.

“Fight and look for an opportunity to escape.” Fairy Qingmei spoke in a low voice.

“Do you all really believe you can escape this time?” An emotionless voice rang out. After which, numerous tyrannical auras manifested within their own group. When Fairy Qingmei turned her head, her countenance instantly paled. They gathered all their strength here because they didn?t want to be dispersed, congregating their combat prowess. But sadly, they underestimated the despicableness of many. Back then when they governed Grand Xia, who dared to defy them? But now, the descent of the Star River Association caused countless people in Grand Xia to betray them. There was even a traitor within their ranks.

“No wonder you guys were able to find this place so fast.” Fairy Qingmei glanced at the figures behind them. Originally, they were their own people. They were one of the four great powers who joined Qin Wentian before he reunited Grand Xia – The Thousand-Jue Alliance.

“Wentian allowed you guys to have one of the largest pieces of the pie when he united Grand Xia back then, sharing authority with the Mystic Moon Hall, Jiang Clan and us. After these years of glory, you guys actually betrayed him.” Fairy Qingmei?s tone was extremely cold.

“Qingmei, the philosophy of our alliance is always to ally ourselves with the greatest power. In the past, we followed Qin Wentian. Now, the era has changed. Qin Wentian is nothing but history. The ruler of this world is the Star River Association. I cannot allow my Thousand-Jue Alliance to fall just like this. Don?t blame us.” The alliance leader spoke.

“A traitor actually still dares sound so pompous despite his betrayal.” The sect leader of the Mystic Moon Hall coldly spat.

“There?s no way I can allow for the Thousand-Jue Alliance to be destroyed in my hands.” The alliance leader of the Thousand-Jue Alliance spoke.

“Are you not afraid that Qin Wentian would return one day, and after knowing the situation of our Grand Xia, take revenge on you because of your betrayal?” The radiance emitting from Yun Mengyi was blinding as she coldly regarded the alliance leader.

“There?s no more hope. Look at the world now. No matter how heaven-defying Qin Wentian is, there?s no way he can overturn this piece of sky.” The alliance leader spoke with an assured tone, showing no traces of shame at all after his betrayal.

Everyone was in despair. Originally, there was already a disparity in the strength of both parties. Now that someone on their side betrayed them, they were helpless to overturn the situation.

“Will we not be able to escape this time around?” Bailu Yi was as exquisite-looking as before. Her pure clothing and ample figure would cause one to drool with desire. Her countenance now was cold, marred with traces of desperation.

“Don?t give up hope yet. Little Yi, I will protect you. I shall slaughter a path out.” Bailu Yi?s big brother Bailu Jing spoke. However, he didn?t feel confident either.

“How good would it be if he was here?” Bailu Yi smiled. Bailu Jing stared at his sister while sighing in his heart. Seems like this lass has never been able to forget him. Back then when Qin Wentian left the particle world, Bailu Yi hugged him and told Qin Wentian that after meeting him, how could she still meet another guy in this world that could leave a mark in her heart.

“Stop thinking, the odds are impossible that he would appear now.” Bailu Jing shook his head.

“Yeah, we probably won?t be able to meet him ever again in this lifetime.” Bailu Yi smiled, she was thinking back to the times they spent in the White Deer Institute, studying divine inscriptions. Although they had no fate with each other, they were acquainted and that by itself was also a thing of beauty, albeit somewhat cruel.

“If you guys understood the current circumstances and submitted as well, you wouldn?t have the ending you will have today. Are you still hoping for Qin Wentian to return? What a ridiculous idea.” The alliance leader continued. Evidently, he now needed to get into the good books of the Star River Association so that his past debts wouldn?t count against him. After all, he was part of Grand Xia?s strength in the past.

“Oh, is that so?”

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. The volume of the voice wasn?t loud, yet it was clearly heard by everyone. The familiarity of it caused the hearts of all to pound violently.

“Who?” The Thousand-Jue Alliance Leader inclined his head and stared in all directions, yet there was no one to be seen.

“Who do you think I am?” The voice was soft and somewhat illusory, as though projected from over a great distance. The countenance of the alliance leader of the Thousand-Jue Alliance instantly changed. He stared at the air, “Pretending to be ghosts and demons, get the fuck out here.”

As the sound of his voice faded, the sound of a slight wind gusting rang out from afar. Their eyes turned over and saw a faint shadow emerging. The speed of the shadow was so fast that they couldn?t see it clearly.

“BOOM!” A raging wind gusted. In the center of both parties, the after-images caused by that shadow merged together as one, becoming a young man of incomparable handsomeness. He was clad in white and his long hair fluttered in the wind, giving off an unexcelled and transcendent aura.

Just casually standing made it seem that he was the only person in the world.

At this instant, this entire space turned quiet. The Thousand-Jue Alliance Leader begin trembling the moment he saw this young man, feeling both his legs growing soft. How can this be, why was he back?

Fairy Qingmei and the others all froze the instant they saw Qin Wentian. Bailu Yi?s beautiful eyes blinked as though she didn?t dare to believe what she saw.

Yun Mengyi fell into a daze when she saw that familiar silhouette. He, actually returned.

Luo Huan was stunned, a moment later, her eyes grew red as she scolded in a low voice. “Smelly brat, what precise timing you have.”

Her voice broke apart the silence in the air. Fan Le also cursed. “What the hell? Ouyang, did I see incorrectly?”

“No. That fellow has returned.” Ouyang Kuangsheng and Jiang Ting were both smiling. Looking at Qin Wentian like they were looking at a leader that restored their confidence. Qin Wentian had always been the central core among them, and the moment he appeared, it was like all troubles could be solved with no problems. This was a fellow that can create miracles.

“Who is he?” That expert from the Star River Association coldly questioned. When he saw some of the experts from the ex-transcendent powers of Grand Xia cowering at the sight of this young man, his face couldn?t help but to turn cold.

“Qin Wentian.” Someone replied in a low voice, his countenance extremely unsightly to behold. Back in the past, Qin Wentian was already overwhelmingly strong. Most probably, none of the people here would be able to stand against him.
