661 Frog In The Well (2/2)
The Palace Mistress of the Mystic Maiden Palace waved her hand as a beam of cold light flashed, blasting into the palm imprint and shattering it into nothingness.
”Old Xing!” Qin Wentian shouted. Old Xing retreated to his side as though nothing out of the ordinary has happened.
”We are your guests, and I have no wish to overwhelm you as our hosts.” Qin Wentian continued in a faint voice, ”It’s only that the horizons of the experts of the Mystic Maiden Palace are limited, truly disappointing. Just take it that I’ve made a wasted trip here.”
After speaking he stood up only to hear the Palace Mistress inquiring, ”You haven’t completed what you want to say earlier. What is this opportunity you intend to gift my sect?”
”I wish to end the disunity and chaos in Grand Xia, uniting all under one banner, controlling Grand Xia with a few factions of power. If Palace Mistress is agreeable, you can become one of those with authority.” Qin Wentain stared straight at the Palace Mistress as he spoke.
The eyes of the Palace Mistress flashed with sharpness, although she was already prepared in her heart, she hadn’t expected the magnitude of absurdness in Qin Wentian’s words. That female expert who spoke earlier icily laughed, ”Completely overestimating yourself. Palace Mistress, although this young man has extraordinary talent, he has already lost himself in arrogance. He doesn’t know how high the heavens nor how vast the world is.”
”I’ll choose to wait and see instead.” After a moment of consideration, the Palace Mistress smiled. She truly wanted to see how Qin Wentian would be able to unite Grand Xia.
”Sorry for the disturbance today then.” Qin Wentian smiled in response as he turned and prepared to exit the grand hall. It was all because of the relationship between Fan Le and Xuan Xin did he chose to come here today. Since the other party didn’t trust him, nothing more needed to be said.
”Palace Mistress, this brat is too arrogant. Are we going to allow him to leave simply like this?” That female expert spoke once more upon noting that Qin Wentian was preparing to leave.
When Qin Wentian heard her words, his eyes flashed with an extreme sharpness. He abruptly turned about and took a step out, manifesting a terrifying aura that gushed forth with overwhelming might. Both of his eyes bored into the female expert who spoke and in an instant, his opponent was brought into a reality that resembled a boundlessly vast purgatory hell.
”FROG IN THE WELL!” A booming voice akin to a bolt of thunder reverberated through the space. Her body was flung through the air as a huge pressure ruthlessly slammed into her, knocking her to the ground as she coughed out a mouthful of blood, her countenance turning as pale as a sheet of paper.
When she raised her head again, what remained of Qin Wentian was only the view of a departing back. The hearts of the experts in the great hall were all pounding rapidly as four words resounded through their minds.
FROG IN THE WELL!
These four words that were said to that female expert… weren’t they also being said to the entire Mystic Maiden Palace?
The cultivation base of that female expert was at the ninth level of Heavenly Dipper. However, Qin Wentian could send her flying just by standing in his original spot. What was laughable was that she even arrogantly stated that Qin Wentian didn’t have any manners. The young man whose name shook Grand Xia long ago has long already grown to such a state where it was inconceivable for her to imagine. The purpose of his return this time around was to unite Grand Xia under a single banner.
”Palace Mistress.” The experts in the hall all turned their gaze onto her only to see the Palace Mistress didn’t issue any command to capture Qin Wentian. Her gaze then shift onto Xuan Xin as questioned, ”Did Fan Le tell you about the things Qin Wentian experienced when he was roaming the outside world?”
”A little.” Xuan Xin nodded her head.
”Summarize it for me.” The Palace Mistress continued.
”Fan Le said that they went to a place named the Sacred Royal Region. The Royal Sacred Sect is the hegemon of that entire region, and there are countless supreme powers that could trample Grand Xia with a single foot if they so wished it. He met Qin Wentian again in a tempering exercise in the Immortal Martial Realm. The various geniuses of the Royal Sacred Region gathered and stepped into that realm, contending against each other for the rankings. Qin Wentian obtained the position of the top ranker and he is even a disciple of the Battle Sword Sect, one of the nine great sects directly under the Royal Sacred Sect. Not only that, he is also the foster son of the emperor of an ancient country. I’m not very sure what tier of power that ancient country belongs to; but at the very least, it should be many times stronger compared to our sect.” Xuan Xin tugged on her sleeves as she spoke, she hadn’t expected that there would be a conflict between her sect and Qin Wentian.
The heart of the Palace Mistress trembled violently when she heard these words and she felt her body going stone cold. Only after a long moment did she sigh. She knew that it was highly probable that their Mystic Maiden Palace has just lost a very good opportunity and in the future, their sect would no longer have any speaking authority in the future Grand Xia.
”Xuan Xin, why didn’t you tell me this earlier?” The Palace Mistress of the Mystic Maiden Palace sighed once again.
”I don’t even have a clear understanding, and you didn’t ask me about it…” Xuan Xin spoke in a low voice, her words causing the Palace Mistress to smile bitterly as she shook her head and continued, ”Xuan Xin, treat Fan Le better in the future. Quickly go chase after them.”
”Oh.” Xuan Xin nodded as she exited the great hall.
Qin Wentian didn’t really care much about this matter. If the Mystic Maiden Palace trusted him, he would allow them to become one of the pillars of Grand Xia. Since they refused to, it didn’t really matter to him as well.
On the surface, the various powers gathering in the Azure Continent was because of the wedding between the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and the Jiang Clan. However, currents in the dark were flowing as well. Qin Wentian’s subordinates also arrived in the Azure Continent, gathering together!
