Ancient Godly Monarch - Chapter 926

Chapter 926

"A soul form?" Qing`er stared at the white-robed figure . She had once heard her master mentioning it before: a female emperor from the western regions of the immortal realms, one who was proficient in soul-related powers . Could it be that this beautiful demonic woman was related to that female emperor?

A look of puzzlement appeared on Qin Wentian’s face . Apparently, Qing`er knew something about this .

The figure of the white-robed woman flickered before vanishing from sight . Little Rascal stared off into the distance before turning to Qin Wentian, "I can feel the summoning getting stronger . You guys can return first . "

Qin Wentian and Qing`er’s expressions flickered . Their bodies were being sapped of strength bit by bit, and there was no doubt it would be dangerous to remain . But the mountains were now so bizarre, it wouldn’t be easy for them to leave, even if they tried .

"That mysterious woman is dangerous," Qin Wentian told Little Rascal . How could he not worry about it?

-Bzz!- Suddenly, Little Rascal sprinted off in a certain direction . It dove through a gap between ancient peaks, beyond which seemed to be a completely different world . Blood runes were carved onto the walls on both sides of the gap, exuding a sinister aura .

That ‘apparition’ earlier had appeared as well . She stared at the gap Little Rascal dove into and tried to rush in, but the runes on the walls shone brilliantly as a terrifying force blasted onto her, causing her to bounce back .

Qin Wentian stared at the blood runes, sensing how powerful the inscriptions were . The moment his eyes made contact, he felt a roaring boom in his mind as a towering pressure pressed down with enough force to kill him .

"Retreat!" Qin Wentian pulled Qing`er along as he took a few steps back . This place was extremely dangerous, but Qin Wentian saw how easily Little Rascal had entered . When the light from the runes shone on it, there was no effect at all .

"This…" Qin Wentian watched on as Little Rascal proceeded forward . It moved forward without stopping, though its pace was slow . This further proved that something was summoning it .

That mysterious female glanced coldly at Qin Wentian and Qing`er, radiating feelings of vengeance . Her silhouette flickered and vanished from sight . She had no way to enter that place .

"We should return as well," Qing`er spoke . Qin Wentian nodded in agreement, "Mhm, Little Rascal seems to have met with a bout of good fortune . Let’s go and search for the exit . "

The Underworld Mountains appeared to be covered by an aurora . It was filled with a mysterious energy as though it were a separate dimension unto itself . No visible exits could be seen .

However, Qing`er didn’t seem to be fazed at all . She took out a treasure shaped like a leaf that shimmered with an intense spatial energy . With a wave of her hand, the leaf expanded and Qing`er motioned for Qin Wentian to stand on it together . Within moments, a brilliant light radiated from the leaf and enveloped them both .

"This is a life-saving treasure my master gave me . The Underground Mountains seems to be detached from the rest of the world . But we should be able to leave it by using spatial-type treasures," Qing`er stated . The brilliant light flashed, and they both disappeared from the area .

Qin Wentian closed his eyes, holding onto Qing`er’s hand . Qing`er’s hand felt extremely soft and the instant his hand came into contact with hers, she trembled a little but still allowed him to hold on .

Qin Wentian felt himself shuttling through space . The spatial power contained within this treasure was just too unnerving, and he was left feeling uncomfortable . They gripped each other’s hands as intense tremors rocked the leaf . A moment later, they stopped moving and opened their eyes . To Qin Wentian’s surprise, they had already reached the central city region of the City of Ancient Emperors .

‘We’re out… what a powerful treasure . ’ Qin Wentian silently mused . This sort of treasure was much more useful for people trapped in locations like the Underground Mountains . Below them, many people stared up at the pair who had suddenly appeared, as strange looks flashed on their faces . The majority were all focused on Qing`er .

"Spatial energy? Could it be that she’s the #5-ranked on the Immortal Ascension Rankings, Princess Qing`er?" someone mumbled in a low voice . The battle of half a year ago had spread rumors that Princess Qing`er and Qin Wentian might be lovers . And now, there was a couple holding hands before their very eyes, with a high possibility that they might be Qin Wentian and Qing`er .

Qing`er wanted to retract her hand, but Qin Wentian held on tight . She blinked before staring at Qin Wentian, "You’re not letting go yet?"

"Oh . " Qin Wentian smiled gingerly, before loosening his grip with some reluctance . But as he retracted his hand, he couldn’t help but pinch her hand lightly, causing Qing`er to stare at him . However, Qin Wentian acted like nothing out of the ordinary had happened as he spoke, "The Underground Mountains are truly mysterious . I wonder what that place was exactly . "

Upon seeing Qin Wentian shifting topics, Qing`er could only turn her gaze away, looking indifferent .

"It has been half a year . I wonder how Mengchen and Qingxuan are faring," Qin Wentian added in a low voice .

"Excuse me, are you Qin Wentian?" The people below heard Qin Wentian’s words, and couldn’t help but turn to ask .

"It is I, Qin . " Qin Wentian nodded .

"Are you talking about your junior brother and sister, Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan? They’re in dire straits now; those from the Twin Stars Alliance are hunting them down . And they might have been captured at one point, if not for a stroke of luck," replied the person . Qin Wentian’s expression turned somber, his eyes flashing with coldness . "Sir, do you know their current location?"

"If I knew it, then those of the Twin Stars Alliance would know it as well . But I can tell you that they’re currently hiding in a secret location . The current Twin Stars Alliance is different from before, and they’re now known as the number one power in the City of Ancient Emperors today," the person continued . Qin Wentian was somewhat bewildered, "Didn’t the battle half a year ago weaken their strength? Why are they the number one power now?"

"Didn’t you know? Back when you unleashed that sword attack of pure destruction, you paid a heavy price too right? The power of the Twin Stars Alliance did diminish, and the Xiao Sect was crumbling from within . But at that moment, Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue decided to form an alliance . The ones ranked #4 and #6 of the Immortal Ascension Rankings established a joint power and declared themselves the new twin stars, causing many geniuses to express interest in joining them . Hence, they’re stronger and much more formidable compared to the past . "

The person continued to explain . Qin Wentian began to worry for Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan . The Twin Stars Alliance and Xiao Sect had initially been known as the third strongest power in the City of Ancient Emperors . Now after allying themselves, their strength should have only grown more terrifying .

"And the Twin Stars Alliance has even offered a reward for information on you or your junior apprentice siblings . I’m afraid there are already people on their way to claim that reward now . " Another person laughed .

"I, Qin Wentian, can offer a reward as well . If you guys can give me information on the location of my junior apprentice siblings, I shall give away five immortal-ranked weapons," Qin Wentian’s voice rang out .

"Really?" exclaimed the person who’d spoken earlier, and a meaningful look entered his eyes . Qin Wentian nodded, "Naturally, my words are trustworthy . "

"Fine . Take out five immortal-ranked weapons now, and I will tell you where your friends are," the person replied . Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with sharpness, and he stared at the man . "Do you truly know their whereabouts?"

"You and Princess Qing`er dared to kill Xuan Xing and heavily injure Xuan Yang . How would I dare to cheat you?" The person laughed . However, there was a sinister smile on his face . "Qin Wentian, I urge you to hurry . If not, and then something unfortunate were to happen to them…"

-Bzz!-

With a wave of his hand, five immortal-ranked weapons flew towards the man . Qin Wentian knew that this man intended to fleece as much as he could from him with the information he had on Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan . Even so, there were no weaklings here in the City of Ancient Emperors and everyone was a disciple or descendant of immortal kings or emperors . It was only normal that the people would seek to profit from each other .

"Very well, very straightforward indeed . " The man put away the immortal-ranked weapons before pointing to a direction . "Go this way and continue heading forward . When you come across a pagoda-shaped building, you will see traces of a recent battle . I hope you will be in time to save your friends . "

"Qing`er, let’s leave . " Qin Wentian took out the wind roc runebone, instantly manifesting a gust of wind that shrouded them . They flew forward at an insane speed in the direction pointed out by that person earlier . Since there were traces of battle there already, it was possible that Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan’s location had already been exposed .

"You guys must hold on until I arrive!" Qin Wentian’s face was filled with worry .

. . .

That person hadn’t lied to Qin Wentian . There was indeed a pagoda before them where many geniuses gathered around, as though spectating a battle . Five geniuses were surrounding two people, and the fight must have lasted for quite some time . The two targets were clearly weaker in power . The female was at the eighth-level of Celestial Phenomenon and seemed to have only broken through recently, and as for the exquisite-looking young man beside her, he was only at the seventh-level . Not only that, both were obviously injured .

As for the five geniuses surrounding them, three of them were at the eighth-level, and two were at the ninth-level . One of the ninth-level ascendants was even ranked in the Immortal Ascension Rankings . His name was Tu Teng, and he was extremely powerful with a ranking around #300+ .

One must know that for those who were ranked in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, none of them were weak .

Tu Teng was three meters tall and extremely bulky looking . He was bare to the waist, with bronze-colored skin that radiated strength and vigor . Right now, his title was that of a war general in the new Twin Stars Alliance .

"What a futile struggle," Tu Teng coldly spoke when he saw Zi Qingxuan transforming into a fearsome divine falcon . The divine falcon shot out a menacing light that split into eight directions, and she was fighting desperately against the other ninth-level ascendant . Tu Teng slowly stepped out, unleashing his constellation which was in the form of many gigantic heaven-cleaving great axes .

With a wave, a golden heaven-cleaving great axe materialized in his hand as he violently swung down . Instantly, the force of millions of axes slashed out, powerful enough to cleave apart the heavens and earth, and wreak destruction on everything .

"Tu Teng’s master’s Sky Opening Axe Technique . When this is cultivated to its highest level, it can even split apart the heavens and earth and open up a new piece of the sky . " The experts in the surroundings knew that it was impossible for their two targets to carry on the moment Tu Teng unleashed his axe attack . Tu Teng initially thought the other four would be able to easily subdue these two . However, their targets had actually persisted for such a long time, making it so that he had no choice but to act directly .

Zi Qingxuan’s expression turned incomparably unsightly when she saw this scene . Such a mighty attack power caused her heart to tremble . With a sharp sound whistling through the air, the countless number of falcons she manifested were ripped to pieces . Finally, she caused a gigantic golden flame divine falcon to appear in front of the gigantic axe, intending to block it . But she saw that Tu Teng’s constellation was glowing even brighter—the axe continued cleaving downwards, effortlessly lacerating her divine falcon into two .

"Chi…" Zi Qingxuan instantly turned pale and coughed out a mouthful of blood . Her body was slammed unceremoniously onto the ground, her aura dimming significantly .

"SENIOR SISTER!" Jun Mengchen roared in rage . However, with three eighth-level ascendants besieging him, he couldn't even take care of himself . How was he supposed to aid Zi Qingxuan?!
