The Destiny of the Sinner

38. Proposing

" Command all the disciples and elders to gather the bodies of all the people. And separate the Black Stream Alliance with the victims of our Sect," Qin Jian told one of the elders nearby.

" Okay, Leader!" the elder replied firmly, then he immediately ordered a few other elders to instruct the entire disciple as well as the Sect elders.

" It is better that we speak inside, after all this war has been settled Tian'er," Ming Yifei said softly.

He wanted to immediately stop the awkwardness that was enveloping him as well as Qin Jian with them at the moment.

The others simply nodded in agreement with Ming Yifei's words, then the eight of them entered the sect towards the Qin Jian residence.

Meanwhile in Blue Jade City.

The Imperial Palace was also heavily victimized, be it the soldiers who became due to the attack of the Black Stream Alliance, as well as those who died due to the Techniques used by Qin Tian.

All the people who died because of the Qin Tian Technique were spies on the side of the Black Stream Alliance who infiltrated the Empire as soldiers and higher-ups there.

There were also some large Clans that were intent on defecting and siding with the Black Stream Alliance, whereas their current status was as one of the Imperial Pillars.

" Report to Your Majesty! The Bei, Jin and Xu families who were thought to have become followers of the Black Stream Alliance had disappeared, in their residences only the women and children were present..."

"... There are witnesses who say they came out from the south gate towards the Fire Flower Sect," said one of the generals when they reached the Imperial Palace Hall.

" Investigate all of them, and burn all the corpses of the Black Stream Alliance so as not to cause illness, helping all the citizens to rebuild the partially destroyed Blue Jade City," emperor Ming Dao gave the order.

" And for you, go to the Fire Flower Sect to convey what happened to the three families that became the Pillars of the Imperial Palace," he said again pointing to one of his trusted generals.

" Ready. Do it!" answer everything firmly.

' The technique is indeed very terrible, but it does not result in those who are not the target, ' the inner Emperor Ming Dao recalled some of the Palace's higher-ups and soldiers who had fallen victim. But after further investigation, the victims had a similar tattoo on the back under their necks.

The tattoos that became the hallmark of the members of the Black Flow Alliance.

Far away at the tip of the Northern Continent.

There was a cave that had an array of locking formations around it. The arrangement of the formation only locked one person inside. But there was an extremely powerful aura coming out from within that person's body.

" My toys have all been destroyed, but thanks to that, this formation seal will not last much longer."

" Maybe in just half a year I can break the seal and break free from the damned prison that has locked me away for over ten thousand years" the person said with a faint, sinister smile.

Without Qin Tian realizing it, he had made a mistake by eliminating all the members of the Black Flow Alliance.

All of their members had a tattoo that if the owner of the tattoo was killed, the effect would weaken the seal of the formation that locked the mysterious person away.

A big threat awaits the Blue Star in a moment. But that did not apply to Qin Tian, as Qin Tian's current strength was more than enough to eliminate the threat.

It might just take a little longer, because someone who is a real threat is very good at camouflaging.

Qin Tian only had to maximize his God Eyes to see all the things that person did.

...• • • • •...

A month had passed, many things had changed since the attack that the Black Stream Alliance had made.

Currently the Ming Empire and the Fire Flower Sect had conducted a search against anyone who was still in contact with the Black Flow Alliance.

Qin Tian and the others did not take part in the search, he only informed the location of their headquarters located deep within the ground.

To get to the headquarters of the Black Stream Alliance, they took quite a long time because of the entrance which there were only two and from the entrance there were many roads that branched to form a very misleading labyrinth.

The reason those who took a long time to reach the headquarters of the Black Flow Alliance was because it was Qin Tian who did not tell the exact location. He just said the entrance.

This Qin Tian deliberately did, he wanted to see how far they had gone in eradicating those heretical flow cultivators. And the result did not disappoint Qin Tian.

Many people had been captured by the Ming Empire. Most of them were spies who had taken refuge behind the Empire in the Other Four Continents.

And if they refuse to be detained, then all of them will be killed right then and there. Not even their families will be forgiven.

The Fire Flower Sect.

Qin Tian and the others were currently inside the Meeting Hall which the Sect higher-ups often used to discuss something very important.

However, right now there were only Qin Tian, Tang Yue Lin, Qin Jian, Ming Yifei, Qin Zhong and Yun Ling.

" Father, Mother, Grandpa and Grandma. I want to marry Lin'er," said Qin Tian who made Tang Yue Lin's face instantly blush.

The dream that was always coveted when he was still on Earth finally materialized.

" That's good, Tian'er. I'm very happy with what you want" said Yun Ling who was currently feeling very happy.

" In that case, we should tell this to Father and Mother Lin'er," Qin Jian said.

" Yes, we must send an envoy to meet Tang Yin," Qin Zhong continued.

" Alright, if it is like that I will have one of the elders tell Tang Yin," Qin Jian replied.

" What do you think, Lin'er?" Yun Ling asked Tang Yue Lin because she saw her future daughter-in-law's face blushing and just kept silent the others were discussing about her family.

" I will follow all Gege Tian said, Mother," replied Tang Yue Lin who was still lowered with a reddened face.

" Get your head up, Lin'er. Isn't this what you wanted so much from long ago" Qin Tian whispered in his ear.

Tang Yue Lin straightened her head again, then at the sight everyone smiled at her.

This made her who was originally embarrassed, become very happy.

Seeing Tang Yue Lin who had raised her face, Qin Tian immediately stood up from the chair she was sitting on.

Then he knelt down in front of Tang Yue Lin and said something.

" I'm not very good at stringing words. There's only one thing I want to tell you, even if it's too late, but it doesn't hurt if I say this now rather than not at all" he took a deep breath and exhaled 'slow down, and then say something again. " Will you accompany me every step of the way by becoming my wife, Lin'er," Qin Tian said.

Tang Yue Lin immediately cried at Qin Tian's remark, according to him this was the most romantic thing Qin Tian had ever done, moreover it was done for him.

" It is never too late, whenever and wherever you go I will always follow your steps, and I will try to be a good wife, also a good mother," he replied softly with a face that had been soaked in tears and the last remark only sounded like a mutter.

Qin Tian then stood up and hugged Tang Yue Lin, and vice versa, Tang Yue Lin returned the embrace very tightly as if reluctant to take it off.

Seeing the lovers who were like in love drunk, Father, Mother and Grandpa and Grandma immediately left the room and only left the two of them in a state that was still hugging.

Qin Jian who was already outside immediately looked for one of the elders to convey a message to Tang Yin regarding Qin Tian wanting to marry Tang Yue Lin.

Then a week later, Emperor Tang Yin and Empress Ann Meiling as well as several guards who brought several large boxes to give to Qin Jian.

Ann Meiling was delighted when she heard the news from one of the elders who passed Qin Jian's message on to them.

Therefore, Ann Meiling when she had just arrived there directly walked up to Qin Tian and hugged him with Qin Tian's head right between her two deadly yet gentle weapons.

Qin Tian could only remain silent as Ann Meiling treated like a child. And it made something of his immediately rise from his long slumber.

' You are aware at the wrong time, friend,' Qin Tian sat inwardly while trying to withstand the turmoil within him.

Tang Yue Lin who saw her mother like that could only turn her face away from jealousy.

Although Ann Meiling was her mother, she still did not accept that someone who was soon to be hers was treated as such.

Ann Meiling saw her daughter's behavior instantly releasing her embrace on Qin Tian while smiling awkwardly.

He asked, "when will your marriage take place?"

" A week from now, because we don't want to waste any more time. There are still a lot of things that we have to do after this," Tang Yue Lin replied.

" Alright, you two don't need to intervene to prepare everything. Let all of us here do that" said Tang Yin, who was nodded by all of them.

Then Qin Jian invited everyone except Qin Tian and Tang Yue Lin to discuss the wedding preparations that would take place a week from now.

" Lin'er, it looks like I will be selfish this time around," Qin Tian said with a faint smile that made Tang Yue Lin understand what Qin Tian meant.

" Alright, I will always obey all your desires Gege Tian," replied Tang Yue Lin who directly hugged Qin Tian.

After the two of them disappeared from there, entered into Qin Tian's soul world, and appeared inside his room.

Then...
