Chapter 1520: Evergreen’s Anger

Qing`er left. She silently departed the City of Ancient Emperors. Just like what she had said, no one told Qin Wentian who was still in the midst of his cultivation.

Qin Wentian was still cultivating and had no idea what was happening in the external world. At this moment, at the location below where he was cultivating, a maiden quietly stood there. She had a beautiful face and an extraordinary aura but she wasn’t Qing`er. This maiden was Nanfeng Yunxi instead.

She knew that Qing`er left and she also knew the reason why. As a woman, she naturally could understand Qing`er’s feelings. She was extremely moved in her heart. No wonder Qin Wentian would love Qing`er so deeply. Their love should have already transcended life itself.

Nanfeng Yunxi’s beautiful eyes were misty, shining with tears. She stared at the figure in the air but at the end, she didn’t say anything as she turned about quietly and left. Maybe, she respected Qing`er’s choice. Or maybe, she didn’t wish for Qin Wentian to die.

But, what will happen if he learned the truth one day?

Qin Wentian was still in the state of immersion. He contemplated the energy from the dao element but wasn’t willing to accept the inheritance. He did this for the spatial dao element, the world dao element, and he cultivated them using a dreamscape, perfecting his own abilities.

Inside the dreamscape, Qin Wentian stood in an illusory world with all seven of his astral souls manifested out before him. The astral souls expanded, forming constellations while he stood in the center of them all. A vast sword qi river surrounded them, with the sword law-attribute and his other laws fused within.

With an intent of his will, the river started churning, breaking through the void, causing this entire illusory world to tremble. Sword qi ran rampant, containing boundless strength that could suppress and destroy everything. Each strand of sword intent was like a river filled with the infusion of many kinds of law attributes, capable of tyrannically powerful attacks.

With a wave of his hand, his constellations transformed again and again. This time, they became the forms of humans. Numerous divinity-like figures descended from the sky, all of them golden in color. Sometimes, they would also take on devil form, constructing a body of darkness, manifesting numerous devils in the area around him.

“Go!” Qin Wentian spoke. In an instant, the devils all launched their attacks, forming devil-god palm strikes that shot through the space, engulfing the entire world.

“Right now, I still can’t fathom the mysteries of being able to resonate with one’s constellation. I wonder how strong my attacks are now.” Qin Wentian mumbled in his heart as he continued to cultivate and perfect his abilities.

…

In the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empeire, Qing`er had returned. She returned via a teleportation array. She went to Matriarch Ji’s headquarters first before coming back. If not, there would be no way for her to enter from the outside, given the enemies surrounding their empire now.

The instant Qing`er returned, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor directly appeared and brought her into his emperor palace by stepping through the void. He roared at Qing`er, “WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU CAN RETURN?”

Qing`er has never once seen her father acting in this manner towards her. This was the first time. When she saw his furrowed brows and the anger on his face, Qing`er didn’t know what to say. She could only lower her head in silence.

“Leave here immediately. Return to the City of Ancient Emperors.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor snarled in rage. Qing`er shook her head, “Since I have returned, I will not leave.”

The Evergreen Immortal Emperor’s countenance turned unsightly. He stared at the daughter he doted on the most. He wanted to vent his anger but he didn’t know what to say. Finally, he asked, “Where is he? He allowed you to come back here alone?”

“He doesn’t know about this, I didn’t tell him. During these years, he has been in closed-door seclusion. No one can disturb him, and I won’t allow anyone to do so.” Qing`er lifted her head, her beautiful eyes filled with stubbornness, as she looked at her father.

“I truly have a great daughter.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor spoke as he trembled. “You want to use your life to exchange for his? Did you consider about me? About our Evergreen Immortal Empire?”

What sort of character was the Evergreen Immortal Emperor? He instantly discerned Qing`er’s intentions. By not telling Qin Wentian, what did it mean by her returning alone? Was there even a need to ask?

“Precisely because I’ve considered about you, my father, as well as our empire, I decided to return.” Qing`er inclined her head and seriously looked at the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. She continued stubbornly, “The Evergreen Immortal Empire is in danger now. As your daughter, the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, I have a responsibility to uphold. Even if I die, I would have no regrets. This is what I ought to do. However, I cannot let him die. I shall account for all his debts.”

The Evergreen Immortal Emperor stared at his beloved daughter as he sighed with sorrow in his heart, wanting to ask the most profound question of all time. What exactly is love?

“Oh? You are willing to give up your life because you don’t want to implicate him. Even if the Evergreen Immortal Empire is eradicated, you also want him to live on. Right?” The Evergreen Immortal Empire sighed. Qing`er’s eyes turned slightly red, flickering with guilt. But she still nodded resolutely, “I’m willing to die for our empire with no regrets. Father, if I die, you have to live on.”

“What is he worth exactly? Is he really qualified to make my daughter do this for him?” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor didn’t know what to feel in his heart. Even though Qin Wentian was outstanding, he naturally still doted on his daughter the most. This was his most beloved daughter. But now, his daughter wanted to use her life in exchange for his.

“He is worth it. Because, he is the man I love. Because, he is the son-in-law of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.” Qing`er smiled sweetly. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor turned around, closing his eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking about.

“Father, don’t send me away. Even if you forcefully do so, Qing`er would really be a sinner if something happens to our empire. I would still take responsibility then.” Qing`er seemed to have guessed her father’s thoughts. She decisively spoke, but the Evergreen Immortal Emperor didn’t move. He continued closing his eyes in silence. However, he understood that since his daughter was already determined to do this, there was no way for him to change her mind any longer.

“Father, just hand me over to them.” Qing`er spoke lightly.

“And you will commit suicide after that, as death ends all troubles, stopping them from using you to threaten Qin Wentian?” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor opened his eyes and laughed. “Qing`er, you are so naive.”

“Your daughter is unfilial.” Qing`er lowered her head.

“You are indeed unfilial.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor turned back and looked at Qing`er. “But even if you are unfilial, you are still my daughter. For my daughters, no matter how unfilial they are, I will never hand them over. Even if I die, I won’t go down without a fight.”

“Father…” Qing`er had a pleading expression on her face.

The Evergreen Immortal Emperor turned and waved his hand. A moment later, a formless energy gushed into Qing`er, sealing her strength completely. He then spoke, “Come in.”

As the sound of his voice faded, two serving girls entered.

“Take good care of her. Do not let her out of your sight, even for an instant.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor quietly spoke. After that, he flicked his sleeves and departed. Qing`er stared at the departing back of her father as tears once again flowed down her face.

Even if she was unfilial, she is still the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. Even if he had to die, he would go down fighting.

…

In the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, in a random location, there were many extraordinary experts gathered here. They were all from different major powers and terrifying auras could be felt from each of them.

“There seemed to be some commotion in the imperial palace. The daughter of Evergreen, Evergreen Qing`er, might have returned.” At this moment, a person spoke, his words causing the eyes of everyone else to flash.

“Is this news accurate?”

“Let’s prepare to launch an attack, we will learn the truth sooner or later.” The Skymist Immortal Empire suggested, in an extremely domineering manner. They were the major powers from the eastern regions. They were the ones who wished for war the most, wanting to eradicate the Evergreen Immortal Empire completely. Hence, he came here personally.

Just as he was speaking, his expression suddenly drastically changed, becoming extremely unsightly, even ashen.

“Skymist, what’s going on?” There were people who asked as they stared at him.

“Evergreen has gone mad.” The Skymist Immortal Emperor angrily spoke. He stood up, as a violent aura gushed forth frenziedly.

“What has happened exactly?” The Paragon Sword Emperor asked.

“The White Emperor is in the royal palace of my Skymist Immortal Empire.” The Skymist Immortal Emperor grimly spoke, his expression cold to the extreme.

“The mysterious White Emperor actually left the Evergreen Immortal Empire?”

“Is he staking it all on a single throw? However, the Skymist Immortal Empire, there should be enough protectors in your empire, right? Why would you fear a single White Emperor?” The Paragon Sword Emperor asked.

“The White Emperor has broken through to the peak-stage…” The words of the Skymist Immortal Emperor caused the hearts of everyone to tremble.

If he is at the peak-stage, the Skymist Immortal Empire might really not be able to endure such attacks. The Evergreen Immortal Empire was betting it all on this. They actually sent out a peak-stage immortal emperor to attack the Skymist Immortal Empire.

At this instant, the expressions of the Paragon Sword Emperor and the Taihua Immortal Emperor, both also turned unsightly. Their empires were also in the eastern regions. If the White Emperor wanted to attack, their empires would all be his prime targets. The fact that the White Emperor has entered the peak-stage of the immortal emperor realm, was a calamity to them.

“What should we do?” The Skymist Immortal Empire glanced at the people in the surroundings. The immortal emperors from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire and the Senluo Immortal Empire glanced at him. Seems like the major powers of the eastern regions were limited in their power, they actually didn’t have enough strength to protect their roots in the case of an attack.

At this moment, a powerful immortal sense suddenly bore down upon all of them. Everyone inclined their heads, they could clearly sense the existence of this immortal sense.

“It’s Evergreen.”

“Evergreen, get the White Emperor to stop!” The Skymist Immortal Emperor roared in rage.

“Are you afraid now? When you attacked my empire, did you not do so willingly and happily? I’m now warning all of you that if any of you dares to attack my Evergreen Immortal Empire again, I shall spare no expense and duke it all out, staking my life itself. You guys best make sure to kill me then. If I manage to escape, I shall join the White Emperor and enact our revenge one by one on your empires. Let’s hope you guys can endure the acts of our revenge. I sincerely hope you all can protect the lives of your clans well.”

The cold voice of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor rang out, containing no emotions as he directly threatened the immortal emperors here. Since things have reached this state, it actually caused him to have no more apprehensions!
