The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 27: The Fouled Heart of Man



The sound of war horses running filled the air as they rushed forward towards Qin Wentian and the students from the Star Emperor Academy. Ye Mo did not move, his eyes fixated on the Mustang. Since the Mustang's intervention was only a personal decision, there was no need to be polite to him.


Qin Wentian pondered around him. Ye Mo's people were still growing in number, while there were only slightly more than ten students from the Star Emperor Academy. It seems that this battle will not be easily won.


"Mount." The bewitching woman next to Qin Wentian called out, and suddenly, a shadow of a tall and sturdy figure dashed forward, releasing her Astral Souls. Above his forehead, the shadows of the two Astral Souls materialized. The first one was a demonic ape, emitting a terrifying and domineering killing intent. It is as if the manifestation is truly alive; the second manifestation is that of a mason.


"This combination of Astral Souls would give him an extremely powerful defense." Disciple Qin Wentian was contracted; the Demral Ape Astral Sou, and the Astral Soul Stoneman were clearly condensed on the basis of forming an impenetrable defense. Not only that, the attack power they provided was also not underestimated. The majority of cultivators would carefully consider the combined effects of their Astral Souls.


"Tremors." The youth named "Mountain" forcefully smashed his fist on the ground, and suddenly, terrifying waves flowed into the army platoon, causing explosions to appear furiously on the ground. These explosions created a huge hole, which made terrified war writers scream in fear.


However, there is still a rider who is not caught in the tremors caused by the mini-earthquake. His rider adeptly steered his warhorse and dashed towards the Mountain forming a side, only to see that the foot of the Mountain was trampled deep into the ground. His body stood upright and upright, similar to a real mountain.


The long spear whistled as it pierced through the air, aimed for the Mountain head. However, without showing any signs of panic, Mountain grabbed the spear with both of his hands as his body collided with the warhorse. That terrifying impact was unable to move his body in the slightest.


"Indeed, a terrifying defense." Qin Wentian exclaimed in his heart when he saw that Mountain had destroyed the spear and user on the ground. Blood spurted everywhere, causing the frightened warhorse to flee in a frenzy. This triggered confusion in the ranks of soldiers gathered nearby, giving the impression that he alone could defend against 10,000 people.


The battle erupted in the other direction as well. Qin Wentian saw that there was someone who condensed two sword-type Astral Souls, fusing the two as one into his body and emitting a terrifying sword Qi. Wherever he passed by, fresh blood graced the sky like rain.


They were all cultivators who had opened two Astral Gates and belonged to the Arterial Circulation Realm. Emperor Star Academy really only accepted geniuses among geniuses.


However, Ye Mo had an absolute advantage in numbers, and, despite everything else, there were still a few fish that escaped the net. They dashed towards Qin Wentian, only to find the bewitching woman beside him smiling lightly as her palms ferociously charged outwards. Qin Wentian only saw a flash of shadow whip before the figures on the horses were instantly whipped into the air. They were dead before they fell to the ground. The whip was as sharp as a sword — just one strike was enough to kill.


"Young junior-apprentice brother, you should go." The woman's arms were coiled around Qin Wentian's neck. As the distance between the bewitching woman's dazzling face and Qin Wentian shortened to just half a step, his heart pounded. He secretly cursed that this bewitching woman was truly a female demon.


"Continue. With you here, it will only affect us when we enter the battle. ”Luo Huan continued. Qin Wentian lightly nodded; he knew that with his current strength, he could only be considered a burden.


"Go." Qin Wentian resolutely chose a direction with fewer enemies and continued.


"Sister will protect you." Luo Huan's figure followed as he swung his whip, instantly creating a death path through the soldiers who swarmed in the direction Qin Wentian had chosen.


"Yu Fei, lift the back."


"true." The young man holding a sword floated in the air, landing behind Luo Huan. Several rays of sword light swept out, destroying their pursuers.


Qin Wentian ran mad, unwilling to even turn his head to watch the battlefield. After seeing the power possessed by the students of the Star Emperor Academy, he felt that he was truly insignificant. Regardless of him trying to compare himself to Mount or Yu Fei, as long as they entered the battle, the, they would easily be able to slaughter their opponents no matter how many Body Refinement Cultivators they pitted against. Only those in the Arterial Circulation Realm would have the qualifications to fight against them.


"Young junior apprentice brother, where are we going?" Luo Huan closely followed Qin Wentian's side, as if he was walking leisurely in the courtyard. There were no hint of activity in sight as he easily matched Qin Wentian's speed.


"Older Mustang and the rest of the seniors respectively, are they enough to deal with the enemy?" Ask Qin Wentian.


"No. Among us, other than the Mustang teacher who was in the Yuanfu Realm, the strongest was only at the 7th level of the Artery Circulation Realm. Our opponent, Ye Mo, other than being a Yuanfu Realm cultivator, still has many exponents of the Artery Circulation below him. And that's not his power! As long as one more Yuanfu Realm cultivator appears, the situation will quickly deteriorate for our side. Once that happens, the members of our Star Emperor Academy will prioritize escaping. ”


Although Luo Huan matched the speed set by Qin Wentian's crazy sprint, his words were still very clear. He fully understood how terrifying Yuan Fu realm cultivators were and knew that without a doubt, as long as even one more appeared, his apprentice brothers would have no choice but to flee regardless of how strong they were. They have to do it at their fastest speed.


Qin Wentian lightly nodded his head as he said, "Thank you."


Clearly, these people had appeared in Sky Harmony City for the sake of saving him, bearing a great risk on their side.


Luo Huan laughed, as he asked, "So where are we going?"


"The Star River Association." Qin Wentian replied, causing Luo Huan's expression to undergo a change. He asked again, "You joined the Star River Association?"


"No, but I am acquainted with the grandmaster weapons expert at the Star River Association, and he promised me that we will be able to find refuge there," Qin Wentian replied.


As if he was pondering something, Luo Huan's expression flickered before he replied, "Is it possible for us not to go there?"


Qin Wentian, astonished by his reply, glanced at Luo Huan before saying, "Some members of my family might be there, and furthermore, since Sky Harmony City is sealed, "Sisa members of my family might be there, and furthermore, because Sky Harmony City is sealed, The Star River Association is the only safe haven left where we can seek refuge. "


Within the Star River Association, both Qin Ye, Qin Yao, and the others had arrived, but when compared to before, only half of their numbers remained. Most of the deaths were caused by the defenders sacrificing themselves, losing their lives in return for safe passage from the Qin Clan members. Even though they managed to survive, their bodies were full of wounds.


"More." Qin Ye and the others immediately rushed over after seeing Qin Wentian enter the Star River Association.


"Do you have any news about your second uncle?" Ask Qin Ye.


Qin Wentian froze as he shook his head, causing Qin Ye and Qing Shang's faces to turn pale.


"It seems that my prediction is accurate, the Qin Residence is indeed destroyed." From the side, a sarcastic voice with a high tone, floated up.


Lin Yue was here today for the gathering of her divine weapons, and seeing the sorry state of the Qin Clan members, she could not help but add salt to their injuries.


The sound of footsteps sounded. Step by step, Qin Wentian walked slowly towards Lin Yue with a cold look in his eyes that was emitting sword sharpness. Lin Yue's face stiffened as she asked, "the annihilation of your clan was not caused by me, so why did you vent anger at me?"


"Scram." Qin Wentian spat out a word, causing Lin Yue to become dumbfounded. Be gone? This wild dog from the defeated clan actually dared to ask him to scram? Despite his frustration, however, the pressure Qin Wentian was currently exerting was able to cause his heart to tremble in panic.


"Grandmaster Francis." By that time, Francis had arrived. Lin Yue revealed an expression of excitement on her face as she dashed towards him.


"Go." Before Lin Yue even reached Francis' side, she heard Francis' cold voice ringing. Lin Yue stopped in the middle of a step, her face pale.


Very displeased, Francis was currently in a bad mood and had no time to care about Lin Yue. Ignoring him, he directly approached Qin Wentian and declared his welcome, "Young Master Wentian, you have arrived."


“Grandmaster Murin has entered closed seclusion to make and repair weapons. He'll be out soon. Please, all of you, follow me to the great hall for a break. "Francis was very polite, making Lin Yue's disciples widen in shock as she stood to the side. Qin Wentian and the others politely nodded in agreement. They went to the side to rest, but the atmosphere inside remained extremely heavy. None of them knew about what had happened to Qin Chuan and the others who were still fighting in the Qin Residence.


"Why are you still here? Don't look for me here in the future. "Francis ignored the look of disdain in Lin Yue's eyes as she spoke rudely.


Many in the Star River Association stared at the Qin Clan members while sighing in their hearts. The once imposing Qin Clan, capable of commanding the wind and clouds, was now crumbling. They depend on the darkest hour.


Time passed quickly, but Murin had yet to appear. The thundering sounds of galloping horses rang out from outside as one platoon of soldiers stopped within 100 meters of the Star River Association. Ye Mo and his army had arrived, and after descending, they reached the entrance of the Star River Association, face to face with the members of the Qin Clan. The moment their eyes met, a terrifying surge of pressure seeped into the atmosphere.


The sound of horses running nonstop echoed in the air. All the men under Ye Mo, including Asura Wu himself, had arrived.


The members of the Qin Clan all felt a heavy feeling weighing down on their hearts.


"Everyone, sorry to wait." At this moment, a clear and direct voice sounded. Murin, one of the division leaders of the Star River Association had arrived, accompanied by an arrogant woman who was always by his side.


"Qin Wentian, did you make up your mind about my past proposals?" Murin smiled as he asked with a gentle expression, causing people to feel comfortable and relaxed around him.


"Proposals?" Qin Wentian was frozen.


"The matter about joining our Star River Association and becoming my student."


"Grandmaster Murin, I thought you said that we would be guests of the Star River Association?" A lack of understanding appeared on Qin Wentian's face.


“No, no .... The chairman has spoken. He decided not to take guests. It is still better for you to consider my proposal beforehand. ”Murin kept smiling as she explained.


Luo Huan's eyes, which were standing beside Qin Wentian, narrowed. Only now did he roughly understand the situation. Moving his mouth into Qin Wentian's ears, he whispered, "Do you have anything they want in your hands? With the status of a guest, they have no binding power over you, but once you join the Star River Association, you should do as they say. "


Qin Wentian was not stupid, and there were no members of the Qin Clan. At this moment, their hearts turned cold when they saw the gentle smile on Murin's face. The smile was like a poisonous snake, causing people to be frightened.


It was very clear that Murin deliberately delayed the time he appeared, waiting for Ye Mo's army to arrive and forcing the Qin Clan members to despair. Once he came out, they had no choice but to submit to his demands.


"What a sly person." Francis quietly advised in his heart, his eyes filled with flames of anger. He had already thought he was not a good man, but when he was compared to Murin, they were still much different. He felt that he himself was too "naive". As to why he was in such a bad mood, it was because the tier 2 divine imprint that Qin Wentian had given him had been "borrowed" by Murin. When he asked Murin to restore the divine imprint today, Murin refused, causing Francis to suffer humiliation.
