Chapter 1239: Massacre
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian and Juyu returned to her old devil palace while the devil general ranking battle still continued.
However, Qin Wentian didn’t care about that. No matter who the first-ranked general was, it had nothing to do with him.
In the end, there were no change to the current rankings. The first-ranked devil general was still the first ranked, no one could shake his position. And so was the second and third-ranked devil generals.
For everything that happened next, it naturally had nothing to do with Juyu who had bowed out of the devil ranking battles. But although she has already passed her position to Qin Wentian, according the the rules of the sect, Qin Wentian now was only the last-ranked devil general, ranked #28 as he was newly ascended.
In the devil palace Qin Wentian was in, everything seemed to be very quiet. Juyu’s injuries gradually recovered and at this moment, the two of them stood outside the palace, and cast their glances downwards.

Your devil knights and the regiment of troops you control cannot be compared to Lu Xuejia.
Qin Wentian said bluntly.

Now, they are all yours.
Juyu smiled.
However, because of the gossip out there as well as the actual betrayal by many of my subordinates, these people now have extremely low morale. Most probably, they hold me, the previous devil general, in contempt.


It’s normal for you, the last-ranked general to be defeated by the third-ranked devil general, what qualifications do they have to hold you in contempt? If you want it, I can pass you back the position of devil general any time.
Qin Wentian replied.

I’ve already offended many. If I become a devil general again, my fate would be very miserable. I think I would rather be your protector, it’s much more suitable for me. I believe that this path will lead to a bright future.
Juyu was a devil general before, but now, she was actually willing to be a protector.
Although among generals, she was the last ranked, if it was among protectors, she definitely could fight against the protectors of those top-ranked generals.

A devil general becoming a protector?
Qin Wentian laughed.
……..
Right now in the devil palace Lu Xuejia was in, she sat on the imposing devil throne as devil might radiated from her. One could faintly make out black devil swords floating around her.
At this moment, her eyes abruptly opened, gleaming with a dazzling light.

Men.
Lu Xuejia’s cold voice rang out. A knight instantly came over and bowed,
I pay my respects to devil general.


Are there any commotions in the residence of the #28 ranked devil general?
Lu Xuejia asked.

Nothing, the devil general Qin Wentian and Juyu, haven’t stepped out of the devil palace at all.


Continue to monitor and inform me if there are any movements.
Lu Xuejia coldly spoke. That person nodded and took his leave.
Lu Xuejia’s beautiful eyes stared into the distance. Qin Wentian’s figure actually appeared within those black eyes of hers. Before this, she had never once imagined that a protector would cause her to be so distracted. But Qin Wentian managed to do so.
She wanted to see what Qin Wentian’s ending would be. She was truly extremely interested.
But ever since Juyu was injured and Qin Wentian became a devil general, there were no commotions from their devil palace. In fact, even the knights and troops under them had no reactions.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed and Juyu’s injuries had fully recovered.
Today on the top of the devil stairway, Qin Wentian and Juyu stood there, staring at the people in the devil palace.
The people of this devil palace apparently became lazy after the ranking battle that happened. The auras and attitude of the guards here were way inferior compared to the guards at Lu Xuejia’s palace back then. Qin Wentian could only smile as he shook his head.

Do you really want to do it?
Juyu asked.

Are you afraid?
Qin Wentian spoke.

Since I’m already your protector, I will naturally follow the decision you make. However, just the two of us?
Juyu glanced at the guards as she questioned.

Have you forgotten about those who betrayed you before? Just for a single sentence from the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan. Is it really useful to have a lot of people under you?
Qin Wentian laughed mockingly as he continued moving forward.
Juyu stared at Qin Wentian. Her dark eyes gleamed with a soul-stirring luster, filled with charm. The young man from the immortal realms in front of her, possessed a demeanor that made people want to follow him.
Her silhouette flashed as she followed after Qin Wentian. A radiant smile could be seen on Juyu’s face. At this moment, the cold devilish intent from her had unconsciously vanished completely.
Being able to have that battle, she would have no regrets even if she died.
…
For the devil palaces in the four main directions, in the western area, the devil palace of the third-ranked general Zong Yan was located there. There were many guards guarding the entrance and there was also an extremely life-like statue of a darkflame dragon there.
Qin Wentian and Juyu stood before the entrance of the palace at this instant as they prepared to walk into it.

Who are you two?
A guard spoke.

The #28 ranked devil general Qin Wentian is here to challenge the #3 ranked devil general Zong Yan.
Behind Qin Wentian, Juyu stepped out as she spoke in a loud voice.
As the protector of Qin Wentian, there were somethings she naturally had to do. The her right now had already completely put down the arrogance of a devil general and was wholeheartedly serving as Qin Wentian’s protector.
Hence, even though she was alone, her steps were steady as she opened a path up for Qin Wentian.
The two of them actually came here to the devil palace of the third-ranked general Zong Yan to challenge him. The challenger was actually the #28 ranked general, and if it wasn’t for them seeing this personally, all the guards would have still thought that they have heard wrongly. There never has been such a ridiculous matter before.
But right now, the two of them were standing right before the entrance. They didn’t even have any knights under them.
Although this was somewhat absurd, Juyu after all was once a devil general and the guards knew that they wouldn’t be able to stop her. Hence, nobody obstructed her way, allowing her and Qin Wentian to walk through them.
The two guards at the entrance coldly laughed. They knew that since these two dared to challenge the third-ranked general, it meant that the moment they entered here, they would never be able to walk out again.

The last-ranked general and his protector are here for a challenge.
As they entered, a voice rang out from behind them, echoing through the palace, causing all the experts within to hear it.
Within Zong Yan’s palace, several figures sped over, standing in different locations in the air, staring at Qin Wentian and Juyu.
However, they weren’t in a rush to act. They quietly stared at the two advancing figures while at this moment, the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan slowly flew over, staring down at them.

Are both of you in such a hurry to die?
Zong Yan’s black eyes were as dark as the abyss. He was truly impressed with the courage of Qin Wentian and Juyu, they actually dared to enter his devil palace.

To die? Try it before you talk.
Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at Zong Yan.

Even if you want to challenge me, you have to first see if you are qualified or not.
Zong Yan turned his glance in a direction as he continued,
You guys were once Juyu’s subordinates. This is now a chance for you all to acquire merit.

Those experts he was talking to were naturally Juyu’s old subordinates and their expressions all changed when they heard Zong Yan’s words. Betraying Juyu was merely because they wanted a better path to the future. However, because they weren’t people who had followed Zong Yan from the start, they did indeed need opportunities to accumulate merits. But if they were to fight against the ex devil general Juyu, they weren’t very confident of success.
Despite so, right now, there was no other choice left.
With a flash, all of them flew towards Juyu.

I might as well take the chance to clean out the trash who betrayed me. Leave those people to me.
Juyu spoke.

Fine, you don’t need to care about the others.
Qin Wentian spoke. After that, Juyu sped towards her past subordinates.
As for Qin Wentian, he soared up into the air and directly headed towards the place the third-ranked general Zong Yan was at.

RUMBLE!
Powerful devilish auras erupted forth as the two experts standing on the left and right of Zong Yan rushed Qin Wentian. The devil spears in their hands stabbed out at the same moment, manifesting terrifying devil dragons.
Qin Wentian’s immortal-foundation shimmered with light. This entire space was filled with his law energy, which permeated the atmosphere.

Didn’t your devil general tell you guys that before absolute strength, numbers are meaningless?
A cold voice rang out from Qin Wentian’s mouth. He stabbed forth with his finger, as though pointing towards the void. But as that finger stabbed out, terrifying golden rocs manifested in the air, ripping everything apart.

Puchi, puchi…

In the air, a shower of blood fell. Screams of misery rang out and in a mere instant, tens of experts were killed.

A body of law. As expected, you have also grasped a hint of immortal-king might.
The third-ranked general stared at Qin Wentian. His gaze was still as calm as ever, as though the deaths of these subordinates were nothing to him.
Even more experts rushed Qin Wentian. When he saw the emotionless gaze of Zong Yan, Qin Wentian could only sigh silently.

BOOM!
An even stronger might gushed forth from him. His body expanded in form, to over tens of meters tall.

Since you all want to die so badly, I will grant you your wish.
Qin Wentian roared in a thunderous voice. His palms exploded outwards, causing streams of chaotic might to pervade the area, destroying all the experts who rushed him. This was an extremely shocking sight.

Those who block me will all die.
Qin Wentian howled as he continued advancing. Stabbing out with his fingers, ancient characters transformed into sharp swords, opening up a bloody pathway for him.
He continued on step by step, causing a blood bath in the devil palace of the third-ranked general Zong Yan, a complete massacre.
Qin Wentian was like a god of killing, nobody could block him. When the strongest subordinates of Zong Yan appeared before him, Qin Wentian coldly spoke,
After this battle, you guys will be my direct subordinates. I don’t wish to slaughter this entire devil palace, it would be useless if there’s no one to serve me. Just scram for now.

As he spoke, he continued speeding forward. The heavens and earth rumbled as different-colored greater demons surrounded him, exuding a might that could shake the skies, causing the subordinates he spoke to to tremble.

Zong Yan, die!

Qin Wentian blasted out with an attack. As the sound of his voice faded, an all-devouring vortex shot over with might enough to collapse the heavens.
At this instant, the third-ranked devil general’s expression turned ashen. He felt an unblockable force boring down on him.
Not long ago, Zong Yan thought that Qin Wentian came here to die. But when this force bore down on him, he actually felt a fear from the depths of his soul.
With a roar of anger, Zong Yan erupted forth in his strongest state, yet that powerful vortex engulfed everything and a few short moments later, everyone saw that their powerful third-ranked general, Zong Yan, was completely swallowed whole by Qin Wentian’s terrifying attack. It seemed that nothing Zong Yan did was of any use at all.

RUMBLE~
The stairway exploded as the earth was flattened. The destructive might was still prevalent in the atmosphere, causing clouds of dust to fly up the sky. Finally when everything became clear again, the third-ranked devil general Zong Yan had already disappeared forever!
