Chapter 1448
After the three remnant powers left, the majority of the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall still remained behind, not showing any inclinations of leaving . The leader of the Sacred Sun Sect continued, "You guys best quickly inform your sect leader . There are only seven days worth of time . "
After that, they turned around and departed but they didn't leave the Blackmetal Emperor Sect, returning to the residence the Blackmetal Emperor Sect had prepared for them earlier when they came by under the pretext of ordering the divine weapons, continuing to monitor the movements of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect .
"Let's return to the great hall to discuss this . " The old elder from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect spoke . It was inconvenient to discuss anything else out in the open . After that, their people all respectively left the area as well .
The Blackmetal Great Hall was the place of discussion for members of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect . Ordinary characters wouldn't be able to enter this place .
At this moment, Qin Wentian also followed the upper echelons of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect to the great hall for a discussion . The expressions of everyone were heavy and solemn . Feng Qianxue and Feng Zhu stood beside Qin Wentian only to hear Feng Qianxue transmitting her voice to him, "Brother Qin, this matter has nothing to do with you . You should leave while you can . Earlier, I apologize for making use of you . "
"Don't worry about it, I understand that it was a plan of convenience . In addition, they had long wanted to deal with me . By saying that we are together, it's to make it so that they have no reason to act against me . " Qin Wentian didn't mind it as he casually replied . Feng Qianxue's beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian but she didn't say anything else .
"Qianxue, is this man really your dao companion? Why do I have no idea . " The old elder was actually the grand elder of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect . He glanced at Feng Qianxue and asked .
"Grand Elder, Brother Qin is merely passing by, seeking my help to forge some weapons . Earlier, I was forced to say those words, please don't take offense . " Feng Qianxue replied .
"Ah, I see . " The Grand Elder nodded . He then turned to Qin Wentian, "In any case, this is a matter of our Blackmetal Emperor Sect and has nothing to do with you . However, you are already implicated within it now . If you want to leave, you have to be extra careful, the people from the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall wouldn't allow you to go so easily . I have to apologize on behalf of our sect to you . "
"Don't worry, this is my own choice . There's no need for senior to be so polite . " Qin Wentian shook his head .
"It's best that you be more careful in the future . The killing intent the people from the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall have for you is truly extremely strong . " That old elder reminded . After that, he turned his gaze to everyone else, "This time, we didn't expect that the other three remnant powers would actually have already submitted . Seems like it's impossible for us to escape this calamity . Even if we report this to the sect leader, we would be helpless to reverse the situation as well . "
"Us, who are the remnants of the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple have survived up till now as independent existences, how can we submit to the other powers? If we do so, most probably the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple would be disintegrated by them and assimilated . In the future, the legacy of the temple would be forgotten and no longer have anything to do with us . We will become nothing but a tool for them to use . " An immortal king spoke while the others nodded, understanding the situation .
"I'm unwilling to submit . " Another immortal king sighed . The old elder surveyed the crowd, the vast majority of the immortal kings were unwilling to submit . As immortal kings, everyone has their own pride .
"Just express your stances, I will convey all of your attitudes to the sect leader and allow him and the supreme elder to make a decision . " The grand elder also sighed .
After everyone has spoken, the great elder waved his hand, "Alright, you guys can return . I will inform you all once I have news . "
"Noted . "
Everyone else left with a sinking feeling in their hearts . The Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Sect were trampling on their hearts, causing them to unable to breathe .
Qin Wentian, Feng Qianxue and Feng Zhu all left together . On their way back, Qin Wentian asked, "Is there some secret about the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple?"
"Since you are already implicated, there's no harm in telling you this . The Eastern Tomb Holy Temple was a supreme power of the ancient era but due to the passage of time, it slowly weakened and deteriorated, gradually forgotten by history . However, there always has been inheritances of the Holy Temple in the Eastern Tomb Immortal City granted to the four remnant powers . And in the past, although there had been conflicts between the four powers, we would always unite and fend off external foes, protecting the legacy of the Holy Temple, blocking others from obtaining it . If the four remnant powers really joined forces, even the peak powers of the central regions would find it difficult to stand against us . They definitely would have to pay an astronomical price if they try to do things by force . Hence, this is the reason why the four remnant powers could survive independently up till now . "
Feng Qianxue slowly explained . "Sadly, the day we feared, seemed to have finally come . "
"After so many years, haven't any of the remnant powers of the holy temple produced a peak-stage expert? Qin Wentian asked .
"How can it be so easy to produce a peak-stage immortal emperor . I've heard before that there were quite a few extremely talented geniuses in the past, but all of them seemed to have been assassinated . Those peak powers are unwilling to see the Eastern Tomb's remnant powers to grow so strong, reaching a point where they had no way to control us . " Feng Qianxue bitterly smiled . "Actually, everyone knows that it is already very difficult to maintain this fragile line of balance for so many years, the line of balance would be broken sooner or later . They want to control our Blackmetal Emperor Sect as well as obtain the secrets of the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple . Also, the chaos brought by the greater demons of the Desolate Mountain Range became an excuse that reinforced their determination to act . "
"What is there exactly in the Eastern Tomb Ruins?" Qin Wentian curiously asked .
"A Holy Book, Holy Will and a Holy Weapon . I'm not very sure what else is there . " Feng Qianxue's voice turned solemn . Her beautiful eyes turned into the distance, staring in the direction of the Eastern Tomb Ruins, as a look of yearning and reverence could be seen within .
"It's rumored that during ancient times, there were many sages in the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple, transcending the mortal world, and receiving confirmation of their Dao . The inheritances they left behind were sufficient for the hundreds of generations that came after them . " Feng Qianxue mumbled .
"What cultivation realm are the Sages at?" Qin Wentian asked .
"Their cultivation realm should be equivalent to the ancient emperors, and in any case, their strength has already exceeded peak-stage immortal emperors . We can't fathom how strong they really are though . " Feng Qianxue replied .
"There are external rumors saying that the mountain, where the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple is located on, is now just an ordinary mountain range, the stories of the past were simply a legend . However, hasn't the inheritances continued through the generations, why does no one know about it?" Qin Wentian asked .
"The holy ruins where the temple is, only opens when the occasion demands for it . How would ordinary characters have the chance to see it? Unless, of course, there's someone who barged in forcefully . However, our Blackmetal Emperor Sect tells us that the holy temple is already extremely unstable . If someone forcefully tries to enter, the entire temple might just collapse and disappear forever . " Feng Qianxue continued . This incident caused her to have a strong unease in her heart .
Qin Wentian didn't continue asking, and as they returned to the residence, he reminded her once more, "Recuperate well . "
