Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

A solemn and cold killing intent contorted Qin Wentian’s good-looking features. He glanced at Purgatory as he commanded, "Purgatory, go and destroy the Star River Association Branch in Sky Harmony City. Annihilate anything that has a connection with that place."

"Yes, master." Purgatory’s silhouette flashed, directly shooting up into the sky. Sky Harmony City was very small, and with a sweep of her immortal senses, she instantly discovered the location of the Star River Association.

The experts from Grand Xia also set out, hunting down those powers who participated in the Star River Association’s vendetta against them. Qin Wentian turned his gaze to the Medicine Sovereign as he asked, "Senior Medicine Sovereign, what happened exactly? Back then, so many immortals left their immortal senses here. Weren’t they enough to restrain the association?"

Before leaving for the particle world, Qin Wentian’s incarnation, Di Tian, destroyed the Royal Sacred Sect by unsealing the sealed immortals in the Vermillion Bird Immortal Palace. The rescued immortals all left behind their immortal senses inside the Medicine Sovereign Valley. These immortal senses didn’t possess overwhelming combat prowess, but they were still at the immortal foundation level after all. If they stood together, the might they emanated would be extremely overwhelming. No ordinary powers should have dared to touch the Medicine Sovereign Valley.

"It was useless. Those immortal senses were forcibly wiped away by the Star River Association." The Medicine Sovereign slowly shook his head, "When the Star River Association descended into our world, they swiftly rebuilt the association’s old bases and began to take over the different regions using brutal and domineering methods. At that time, I had already sensed that they would soon move against the Medicine Sovereign Valley."

"I realized that the situation was serious, and instantly decided to send a batch of people to the immortal realms to flee from the danger. The people of the Battle Sword Sect were also here, and coincidentally, many of them wanted to head to the immortal realms. And so, I sent them away. Initially, I also wanted to send Qingcheng, but this lass kept stubbornly refusing to leave. She said she wanted to wait for your return here. In spite of my earlier misgivings, I didn’t expect the situation to turn out so serious. Soon after, the Star River Association sent several immortals from the immortal realms and instantly launched an attack on the Medicine Sovereign Valley with overwhelming might..."

The Medicine Sovereign’s body shuddered as he spoke. His current appearance was so aged that it seemed he was ready for the grave. If not for the use of strong medicinal pills protecting the fires of his life, he would have already died.

"The immortal senses left behind by the other immortals were all wiped away, and they even told the immortals not to interfere in this matter. If they tried to come here in person, they would end up killed without mercy. I risked my life and fought desperately, and ended up sustaining heavy injuries. It resulted in my immortal foundation being cracked, and we barely made it out of there alive. They destroyed the Medicine Sovereign Valley as we fled. We wouldn’t have been able to hide until today if it weren’t for your foster faster, Ye Qingyun, protecting us."

The Medicine Sovereign’s eyes turned red, burning with the fire of hatred. "Everything happened too fast. I am nothing but a bag of old bones, and I’ve lived long enough. It didn’t matter if I died, but many of the disciples from my Medicine Sovereign Valley were still so young... The vast majority died unjust deaths."

"Senior Medicine Sovereign, this isn’t your fault. I will impart to you an immortal art. Try your best to cultivate it, and there’s a chance that you can re-establish your immortal-foundation." Qin Wentian felt a coldness in his heart. The Star River Association’s actions were truly contemptible.

"Immortal foundations are the root of our immortality. Since mine has already cracked, there’s no more hope." The Medicine Sovereign shook his head.

"How would you know if you don’t try? Senior, please trust me," Qin Wentian implored seriously. The Medicine Sovereign nodded his head. A beam of light shot forth from the center of Qin Wentian’s brow, imprinting to the Medicine Sovereign the heaven-defying method to shatter and rebuild one’s immortal foundation.

"Senior Medicine Sovereign, how many immortals does the Star River Association have in this world?" Qin Wentian asked again. He needed to gather more information.

"I’m not sure precisely, but at present, there shouldn’t be more than ten. What I’m afraid of is the strength they’ve been keeping in reserve. They could easily wipe away the immortal senses of so many immortals. This is a clear indication that they might be a terrifying power even in the immortal realms. Wentian, just take the people here and leave for the immortal realms. The immortal realms are boundlessly vast, so it won’t be so easy for them to find and hunt you guys down.

"Little Rascal, make a trip to the Royal Sacred Region and investigate how many immortals are in affiliation with the Star River Association. I will give you a teleportation talisman, so if you encounter any trouble, shatter it immediately and flee. You can achieve a myriad of transformations, so they won’t be able to chase after you, especially since you can also change your aura," Qin Wentian instructed Little Rascal who was in the air.

"Okay, I will leave now. Qingcheng, let’s chat when I get back." Little Rascal waved his paws at Mo Qingcheng as he soared into the air. He transformed again into a golden-winged Great Roc and shot towards the distance with great speed.

Knowing oneself, plus knowing one’s enemies, would lead to a hundred victories for a hundred battles. Qin Wentian didn’t dare to be too careless when facing such an enemy. He wanted to find out more information about the Star River Association first.

"Will Little Rascal be fine by himself?" Mo Qingcheng felt a little worried.

"Don’t worry, that little fellow is extremely intelligent. If there are no third-level immortals, they won’t be able to force him to stay. The Star River Association are unlikely to send out highly powerful experts to invade a mere particle world. Also, he has the escape talisman I prepared, and he can transform into other forms as well. Even if our opponents sweep him with their immortal senses, they won’t be able to find him," Qin Wentian assured her.

"Mhm." Mo Qingcheng nodded lightly.

"I will avenge the Medicine Sovereign Valley." Qin Wentian gave a small squeeze to Mo Qingcheng’s hand.

"Wentian, forget about revenge for now. Let’s head to the immortal realms and bide our time first before we talk about revenge," stated the Medicine Sovereign. Qin Wentian had heaven-defying talent; it had only taken him about fifty years to ascend to immortality. In the eyes of immortal-foundation experts, his age was still that of a baby’s. From this, one could see how much potential Qin Wentian possessed. The Medicine Sovereign didn’t want Qin Wentian to lose his life because of a moment of impulse.

Mo Qingcheng held onto Qin Wentian’s hands, staring at him with her beautiful eyes. Qin Wentian could clearly feel the nervousness and worry in her heart.

"Wentian, revenge is a dish best served cold. Time is still long, and given your vast potential, you will surely be a king among immortals in the future. Why be so hasty?" Ye Qingyun persuaded. Everyone was looking at Qin Wentian with worry in their eyes. All of them wanted to convince him to wait a little longer, and not to rush for the sake of revenge.

They understood Qin Wentian’s character. He drew a fine line between grudges and kindness, and he had the hot blood of heroic men running through his veins. Back in his youth, he had even dared to block the Crown Prince of Chu, Chu Tianjiao, for the sake of saving his foster father, Qin Chuan.

How overwhelming was Qin Wentian’s talent? Immortals stood at the absolute peak of this world. Back then, the Royal Sacred Sect had one immortal, and they completely dominated this world with no one daring to defy them. The Medicine Sovereign was an immortal as well, but both he and the Sacred Emperor had spent countless years in cultivation before breaking through to their immortal foundation. On the other hand, Qin Wentian had already become one at such a young age. They were all Qin Wentian’s closest kin, and naturally, they considered Qin Wentian’s life as much more precious than their own. They didn’t want him to die a meaningless death in this world.

"I won’t be impulsive." Qin Wentian felt currents of warmth flooding his heart when he saw such concern in so many gazes. Throughout his years of roaming the immortal realms, he had rarely felt the comfort of kinship outside of his interactions with Qing`er. His closest friends and family were all here, and despite their death grudge with the Star River Association, they didn’t want him to take on any risks.

"You mustn’t go unless you are fully prepared and extremely confident," the Medicine Sovereign reminded him again. "Hold back for now, for Qingcheng’s sake."

"Mhm," Qin Wentian had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Senior Medicine Sovereign’s cultivation was crippled, and the association had destroyed the Medicine Sovereign Valley, but in spite of his current situation, he was still so worried about Qin Wentian’s safety. Deep in his heart, he was afraid that Qin Wentian would encounter misfortune.

Staring at the familiar silhouettes before his eyes, these people were the closest kin to him in this world. He naturally wouldn’t court disaster. If something happened to him, what would happen to all these people?

However, if he didn’t take revenge for their hostility, he couldn’t call himself a man.

Turning around, Qin Wentian glanced at the Qin Residence; they had reduced it to a state of rubble. Bai Qingsong walked up and said, "Wentian, they’ve brought down the Qin Residence to such a state. There are so many people here, so for the time being, how about you bring them to my Bai Manor to recuperate? I’ve dismissed all the servants, so the place should be big enough to accommodate us all."

Qin Wentian stared at the white-haired, aged-looking old man. Bai Qingsong had already entered his remaining years, but he stared at Qin Wentian with eyes that were bright and filled with anticipation.

Qin Wentian understood Bai Qingsong’s intentions. Previously, they had settled the grudge between them, but Bai Qingsong still had a knot in his heart. In his youth, Qin Wentian had spent much of his time in the Bai Manor, but there had been a time when Bai Qingsong had tried to kill Qin Wentian. He hoped Qin Wentian would be able to step into the Bai Manor once more, so he would feel finally be at ease. Behind Bai Qingsong, Autumn Snow’s beautiful eyes were also looking at Qin Wentian.

"Wentian, during these past years, Uncle Bai frequently came to our residence to accompany father in playing chess. Despite the calamity brought on by the Star River Association, they chose to face it together with us." Qin Yao spoke from the side. Back then, she had hated the Bai Clan immensely, but two decades was a long time. Many things had changed.

During the Qin Residence’s crisis, Bai Qingsong and Autumn Snow had chosen to stay with them. One could see that they were sincere in their friendship.

"Mhm, after so many years, I’d like to go and take a look at the Bai Manor." Qin Wentian smiled and nodded. "Uncle Bai, do you have any news regarding that lass Bai Qing?"

"Ai." Bai Qingsong sighed as he shook his head. "I let her down with my actions. If I hadn’t acted against you back then, she wouldn’t have felt driven to leave home without a word."

"Nothing will happen to her. Who knows, maybe she’s already in the immortal realms." The memory of an adorable young girl appeared in Qin Wentian’s mind’s eye as he thought of Bai Qing. He truly missed her, and if he were free, he would make a trip down to the Devil Statue Cliff to take a look.

"Let’s hope so. Shall we go now?" Bai Qingsong said quietly After which, their group headed to the Bai Manor.

Today’s incident caused waves of commotion to rock Sky Harmony City. Qin Wentian returned and domineeringly slaughtered the forces of the Star River Association. He used that battle to fish in already troubled waters, taking the opportunity to deal with the other powers who had allied with the association. Those powers eventually became nothing but jokes. Given their strength, they had voluntarily involved themselves in this conflict between Qin Wentian and the Star River Association. Their decision resulted in a complete slaughter for their entire clan.

In the Bai Clan, Bai Qingsong arranged for a place for everyone to rest. Little Rascal had also returned. He told Qin Wentian that the Star River Association had sent a total of seven immortal foundation experts to this particle world and that the association should already know about today’s events at Sky Harmony City. However, they had yet to take action. It was as though they were waiting for something.

Qin Wentian and the others met up with each other and chatted for a long time before they went back to rest. action

The night was incomparably silent. In a certain courtyard, only Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng were alone. Seated in a rattan chair, Mo Qingcheng leaned on Qin Wentian’s chest, snuggling in his embrace as she enjoyed the peace of this moment.

"Do you really not want to return to the immortal realms?" Mo Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian stroked her fine black hair and smiled, "Qingcheng, I know my limits. I must repay this debt of revenge no matter what."

"I believe you, but you must remember this... If something were to happen to you, I wouldn’t wish to live in this world alone," Mo Qingcheng said gently, her voice exceedingly calm. She embraced Qin Wentian more tightly, as though afraid of losing him.

Qin Wentian stared at her flawless features and felt his heart melting. Leaning forward, he kissed Mo Qingcheng on the lips. Mo Qingcheng hugged him even closer, staring back at him with deep emotion.

A fire crackled around Qin Wentian. Carrying her perfect figure in his arms, they headed into their room together.

This night, was truly a beautiful one!
