: You Don’t Need Me Anymore
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: – –
Although Qin Wentian was just one man, the spectators using their perception to watch this absolutely didn’t feel that Qin Wentian was in anyway inferior to the might of the combined five. The weight of the top ranker in the Immortal Martial Realm was extremely clear in their hearts. In the external world, it was rumored that Qin Wentian’s name needed to be added to the list of era-suppressing geniuses. The incoming battle with Di Shi on the Sacred Battle Platform filled the hearts of everyone with anticipation.
If Qin Wentian defeats Di Shi, everything would fall into place.
Everyone only saw the golden light emanating from Qin Wentian engulfing the entire sky. The pair of illusory wings condensed into reality, becoming true gigantic roc wings. His entire person seemed as though he was really about to transform into a roc.
The Golden Roc Art could be used in conjunction with the Fiend Transformation Art, enabling him to have a larger variety of transformations.
Bzzz!
A raging wind gusted by as a streak of golden lightning whistled through the air, blasting towards the gigantic rock. Its speed was so fast that it was terrifying, and at the same time an extremely fearsome bloodline power thrummed, as torrential amounts of demonic qi towered up the heavens.

Trap him,
Upon seeing his lightning-fast speed, one among the five commanded in a low voice. After that, one of the eighth-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns released his astral souls and novas as an incomparably gigantic ancient vine blotting out the sun, lashing out in the direction of Qin Wentian wanting to bind his movements.
When a cultivator reached the eighth level of Heavenly Dipper, their astral novas would naturally become even more powerful. The range this ancient vine could cover was exceedingly vast and it could effortlessly bind people. These kind of control-type astral novas were all extremely dangerous. Once one had his movements restricted, he could only wait for death.

Huala…
A clear sound rang out, the ancient vine was directly shredded into pieces under the golden light, breaking apart inch by inch and causing the countenance of the attacker to change drastically. That laceration effect of those golden wings could even tear apart his astral nova, it was simply too sharp. Such strength caused a chill to bloom in his heart.
RUMBLE!
A palm imprint actually transformed into a gigantic mountain peak and was hurled down towards Qin Wentian. The golden roc’s silhouette didn’t pause at all, its wings effortlessly slicing apart the mountain peak. In the blink of an eye, Qin Wentian rushed towards another eighth-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign on the gigantic rock. It seemed that nothing would be able to restrict his movements.
The countenance of that person changed, he only saw Qin Wentian lifting his own palms and slamming out with a Star-Seizing Palm attack. A stream of resplendent runic lights appeared, converging into one and instantly smashed into that person, causing him to be flung backwards and ruthlessly slammed onto a mountain wall behind him. The mountain wall shattered under the impact as the body of the eighth-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign disappeared from sight. It was clear that they were of completely different levels despite him having a cultivation base at the eighth level of Heavenly Dipper.

This?!
The spectators were all deeply shocked when they witnessed this. Such combat prowess, even an eighth-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign was trash in front of his eyes, being suppressed with a single strike. How could they even continue fighting?
A bright light illuminated the sky and numerous resplendent astral souls and novas all erupted into being. It was clear that the remaining opponents decided to act with their full strength. However right now at this instant, a boundless golden light emanated from Qin Wentian as the four others felt as though there were something wrong with their eyes. In their vision, numerous incarnations of Qin Wentian suddenly appeared, all of them with golden wings behind their back, staring down at them loftily and arrogance.
RUMBLE!
Millions of incarnations erupted forth with an attack at the same instant, their combined might exploding out in all directions and causing a swathe of grand destruction. The remaining four only felt an unending streams of palm imprints engulfing this entire space. Their countenances turned incredibly unsightly as they frantically defended.
Continuous rumbling sounds thundered out, a few more deep holes appeared in the mountain wall behind the gigantic rock. There were three who were similarly smashed right into the mountain as they coughed out blood from their injuries. Only the man clad in white who wanted to pursue Qing`er managed to defend against this attack, albeit his expression turned ashen.
The sound of the wind whistled, Qin Wentian floated right in front of him. His golden wings were flapping and with every flap, a miniature tornado would form as the gravel and sand beneath the ground danced chaotically in the air. That incomparably fiendish eyes loftily regarded him, Qin Wentian quietly stood there, yet he resembled an overlord far up above all things.

Scram. From now on, you are not allowed to appear in front of Qing`er,
Qin Wentian coldly spoke, his icy words circulating around in the air. It was as though he wasn’t merely speaking to the man in white, but was announcing it to everyone in the sect instead. If it wasn’t to protect him, Qing`er would probably never come to the Battle Sword Sect. In the past, she had always accompanied him, yet she took pains to never allow him to see her. This maiden that was so akin to a snow lotus in temperament always preferring silence and solitude. How could he not be angered when these people kept harassing Qing`er?
The white-robed man had an ashen expression on his face. He coldly snorted before turning around and departing the area. The other four of his comrades crawled their way out of the mountain, all of them were injured to varying degrees. They too, hurriedly snuck away, no longer exuding the carefree air from earlier. This battle was truly a humiliating one, their faces were all thrown away. They were simply being ravaged.
The spectators all retracted their perception while sighing in admiration in their hearts. Even a ninth-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign didn’t dare to fight head-on with Qin Wentian, choosing to depart upon hearing Qin Wentian telling him to scram. Evidently he realized the disparity between their strengths. Qin Wentian’s casual exhibition of his combat prowess was already extremely shocking to others. The Immortal Martial Realm might be the burial grounds of geniuses, yet it also was the rise of those truly talented characters.
After Qin Wentian exited the Immortal Martial Realm, he had completed a dazzling transformation.
The him now, just by using the Fiend Art Transformation that was augmented by his bloodline power, the aura he exuded was similar to the eighth-level of Heavenly Dipper. There was no pressure at all for him to face against similar-level opponents. With the addition of his violently explosive strength, unless his opponent was a demon-level character that had a cultivation base at the ninth level of Heavenly Dipper, they could only shrink back in retreat.
Di Shi boasted that he wanted to claim the title of ‘Unrivalled in Heavenly Dipper’. Since Qin Wentian dared to challenge him, how could he be weak?
Qin Wentian retracted the sword qi and returned to the side of Qing`er. Yet, he discovered Qing`er was as cold as ever, she merely glanced at him before turning and walking back into her lodgings.
The sight of this caused Qin Wentian to stiffen. It seemed as though there was something wrong with Qing`er.

Qing`er, what’s wrong?
Qin Wentian followed her inside. Qing`er didn’t reply, she continued walking silently. She walked to the pavilion in her courtyard, and cast her gaze over the horizon, as though thinking of something.
Qin Wentian could faintly sense that Qing`er’s emotions were at a terrible low. He didn’t continue asking, but merely stood quietly by her side.
From the past till now, it had always been Qing`er protecting him. Now that his strength had improved so much to the extent that he could fight for the sake of Qing`er, he initially felt exceptionally happy in his heart.
The cool breeze of early morning blew by, fluttering Qing`er’s hair. She lowered her head as she quietly spoke,
The mission master gave me, I should be considered to have finished it. From now on, you don’t need me any longer.

That faint melodious voice was akin to the cool morning breeze blowing right into the depths of Qin Wentian’s heart, her words causing a piercing pain as he involuntarily trembled.

From now on, you don’t need me any longer.

This simple sentence actually caused Qin Wentian to feel an extreme pain in his heart. Was Qing`er going to leave him?!
Oh yeah, initially Qing`er was by his side because of Fairy Qingmei’s orders. Over so many years, although Qing`er rarely came out, she would be the first to appear every time he was in danger. She had always preferred to remain silent, to the extent of causing people to even forget about her existence.
However, how could Qin Wentian ever forget her? Ten years, it had been a full ten years. Ever since he was a youth back in Chu, she had been silently protecting him all the way until now. Qin Wentian was long used to her presence, he even forgot that there would be a day where she might leave him.
But when she completed the mission Fairy Qingmei set her, what other reasons would there be for her to stay?
Silence descended. Qin Wentian also stared into the horizons as the cold wind blew on his body. Right now, he could actually feel the coldness of the wind trembling his body, or maybe, maybe his body was trembling because of the emotions he felt in his heart. He couldn’t help but to mumble to himself,
The wind this morning is really cold.

Qing`er’s dainty hands were clutching at the corners of her shirt, her hands eventually relaxed after she spoke. She was as beautiful as ever, that ice-cold countenance of hers had no flaws at all. She stared at Qin Wentian, only to see Qin Wentian forcing a smile out as he looked her. A moment later, he shifted his gaze away and stared at the horizon. He didn’t dare to look at her for too long, afraid that he might lose control of his emotions.
Qing`er simply looked at Qin Wentian. After a period of time, she then stated with determination,
I won’t leave.

Qin Wentian’s eyes brightened, regaining their former glow.
For real?


This place is quite suitable for cultivation,
Qing`er nodded her head lightly. After which, she turned and headed back to her lodgings. Staring at her departing back, a radiant smile appeared on Qin Wentian’s face as he heaved a sigh of relief.
Qing`er seemed to be the princess of some truly transcendent powers out there in the world somewhere. If she really left, Qin Wentian didn’t dare to guaranteed that he would be able to see her again in this lifetime. How could he be willing to part with her?

Hu…
Qin Wentian’s image flickered and left for his own residence. However, he noticed that Lin Shuai and Duan Han were already there.

Senior brother Lin,
Qin Wentian smiled at Lin Shuai.

Earlier, we didn’t disturb you seeing that you were at junior sister Qing`er’s residence. Master wants me to pass some words to you, let’s talk in the courtyard,
Lin Shuai explained.

Right,
Qin Wentian nodded. This must be an extremely important matter as to why Sword Sovereign Ling Tian had sent Lin Shuai to look for him.
Inside the courtyard, Lin Shuai and Qin Wentian sat down. He stared at Qin Wentian and stated,
Junior brother Qin. That elder from the Royal Sacred Clan who died in the Immortal Martial City had an extremely exalted status. Because he wasn’t simply an ordinary elder, he was also proficient in the refining and creation of divine weapons, and he was ranked the near the top in the Grand Shang Faction of the Royal Sacred Clan. His death enraged the entire Grand Shang Faction, they are forcing our Battle Sword Sect to hand you over and they even want to target the Medicine Sovereign.

Great waves billowed in Qin Wentian’s heart, despite him already anticipating that the death of that elder would cause a storm to kick up.

The inner workings of the Royal Sacred Sect are extremely complex, the competition between the various factions are naturally exceedingly intense. The most powerful faction among them is known as the Core Faction of the Royal Sacred Sect. They directly report to the Sacred Emperor. As for the matter of targeting the Medicine Sovereign, our elders of the Battle Sword Faction have scouted for news and discovered that it originated from the Core Faction. Hence now all the pressure has shifted onto you. Evidently our Battle Sword Faction refused to hand you over and for your sake, many conflicts have erupted in the Royal Sacred Clan.

Lin Shuai wryly smiled as he continued,
And what’s even worse is that other Factions such as the Violet Thunder Faction and the Great Earth Faction all seem to have an enmity towards you, thereby making things worse.


However, for this matter, our ancestor who was also the previous sect leader of our Battle Sword Sect has already spoken. If they dare to send Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants over to target you, it would be equivalent to announcing an all-out war against our Battle Sword Sect. The weight of this sentence can very well be imagined. At the same time, the ancestor also wanted to know if are you willing to enter the Royal Sacred Sect now? Because if you say yes, it would definitely be many times safer compared to your current situation,
Lin Shuai inquired.
