"He is Qin Wentian?" That expert from the Star River Association stared at the silhouette of Qin Wentian. "Back in the past, he merely borrowed the strength of others. So what even if he is here now? What's there to fear?"

The expert from the ex-transcendent power of Grand Xia felt himself trembling. The Star River Association naturally didn't fear Qin Wentian. But how could those of Grand Xia not have a deep impression of how frightening Qin Wentian could be?

However at this moment, Qin Wentian didn't bother about them. Luckily he came in time, and Fairy Qingmei and the rest were here indeed. However, the Medicine Sovereign and Mo Qingcheng were missing. But even so, it was good seeing his friends again. The burden in his heart lightened by a little.

"Sis Luo Huan." Qin Wentian smiled as he stared at Luo Huan. After that, he turned his gaze onto the others as he called out, "Senior Qingmei, Ouyang, Fatty, Yun Mengyi, Bailu Yi...I've returned."

"It's good that you came back." Luo Huan smiled, her eyes red. Upon seeing her expression, Qin Wentian stepped out, moving next to Luo Huan as he asked, "Senior sister, it has been hard on you. Is teacher still well?"

"I was together with senior Qingmei. Teacher and the Emperor Star Academy don't really have many that the Star River Association want to target. There shouldn't be anything that has happened to them. However, I have no idea where he is as well." Luo Huan shook her head.

"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded. He felt extremely happy in his heart that everyone could gather together.

"Boss, why are you back?" Fan Le was filled with bewilderment, this seemed too magical.

"I initially already planned to come back sooner or later. I encountered the Battle Sword Sect in the immortal realms and learned that you guys are in danger." Qin Wentian spoke. "Let's chat later, there are still some things here that need to be settled."

"Mhm." Everyone nodded. Next, Qin Wentian's eyes turned to the leader of the Thousand-Jue Alliance. His eyes gleamed with an extremely glacial light that shone with a faint killing intent.

"I didn't hear what you said clearly. Can you say that again?" Qin Wentian's voice was like frost. The people from the Thousand-Jue Alliance all had ugly expressions. The alliance leader then stared at Qin Wentian, "Qin Wentian, we were also forced to do so. In this era, the Star River Association rules supreme, nobody dares to defy them or death is the only path remaining. Since you have returned, my Thousand-Jue Alliance is willing to sit out of this combat between both parties."

"Sit out of it?" Qin Wentian laughed, his hair fluttering in the wind from his anger. "The Thousand-Jue Alliance truly submits to a stronger power. When I'm not here, you became the traitor and want to exterminate the people in the royal clan of Grand Xia. Yet now you see that I'm here, you are willing to sit out?"

"Truly thick-skinned and shameless." The countenance of the sect leader from the Mystic Moon Hall was ice-cold. "You were forced to? If you were fearful of the Star River Association, you could have chosen to leave our alliance. No one would have stopped you. If you made that choice and lived like that, at most you are merely living a dog's life, a craven coward. But today, you actually betrayed us, exposing our location to the Star River Association and caused the death of those brothers who went out to scout for information. You even wanted to use our lives to gain favor, clearing the past debts and to elevate your own position. So tell me, were you forced to do this?"

The Thousand-Jue Alliance Leader's face was extremely unsightly to behold. He then continued, "Qin Wentian, the Star River Association has already dominated this entire world. When the many strands of immortal senses protecting the Medicine Sovereign Valley manifested, the Star River Association decimated all of them and gave them a warning not to meddle in their business. How can I stand against such power? Even if you are back, can you even defeat them?"

"And then?" Qin Wentian coldly spoke.

"There's basically no way you can change the situation of this world. If you have immortals helping you, just get them to bring you out of this world. Don't try to join the combat any more and don't offend the Star River Association again or they might pursue you to your death." The Thousand-Jue Alliance Leader persuaded. "Everything is already destined, you are powerless to overturn this piece of sky."

"Immortals?" Qin Wentian stared at the alliance leader as a fearsome might gushed forth from him. Immortal light radiated, illuminating the surroundings, incomparably resplendent. The light from Qin Wentian completely enveloped this place and when everyone saw the halo of immortal light surrounding Qin Wentian, their hearts couldn't help but to pound rapidly as the voice of the Thousand-Jue Alliance Leader stopped abruptly. His countenance was pale white and the expressions of the experts from the Star River Association were all exceedingly ugly to behold. Immortal. This young man was actually an immortal!

"I. Am. An. Immortal." Qin Wentian's eyes bore into the alliance leader as he continued, "All of this is merely the beginning. What's this 'everything is already destined' crap that you spoke of?"

"Even if you are an immortal, there's no way you can stand against the Star River Association." The Thousand-Jue Alliance Leader's countenance turned pale. It was like he was silently consoling himself that he hadn't made the wrong choice.

"Are you trying to comfort yourself?" Qin Wentian looked at him. "I have no need for you to prove anything. I just wanted to tell you that everyone in the Thousand-Jue Alliance will be buried because of you."

"The decision was made by me alone. Why must you implicate everyone here? Can't you spare a thought for our past relationship and spare the Thousand-Jue Alliance?" The alliance leader's body was shaking.

"A thought for our past relationship? When you made the decision to betray us, have you thought about that? All of these people are willing to follow you and clearly, they have also made their choices. If I didn't appear today, there's no doubt that they would too raise the butcher knife and slaughter my friends and comrades. Now, can you tell me that they are truly innocent?"

The sword qi from Qin Wentian gushed out, permeating the atmosphere with his killing intent. The alliance leader was shuddering badly, the experts from the Thousand-Jue Alliance all had ashened expressions.

"Submitting to the strong, my actions weren't wrong. Even if the Thousand-Jue Alliance is doomed today, it's only because my luck isn't good. Upon encountering you, who just stepped into immortal-foundation, there's no way we can put up a fight. But you must know that you have only recently broken through. No matter what, you are still not a match for the Star River Association." The Thousand-Jue Alliance Leader stared at the sky, refusing to submit to this. Luck wasn't on his side.

"You are right." At this moment, a voice descended from the sky. The experts from the Star River Association all had looks of joy on their faces, seeming to recover from an impossible situation.

"I can guarantee that the Thousand-Jue Alliance will not be destroyed. As for these remnants of rebellion, they shall all die today." That voice continued. Very soon, a figure radiating immortal light appeared in the air. He stood there, unexcelled in the world and was a second level immortal-foundation expert. His countenance was imposing to look at, exuding a tyrannical aura without being angered. Peering down with disdain, it felt like he was looking at ants.

"Qin Wentian, to think that you would appear here so quickly. Well that saves me trouble, I will directly capture you to answer to my superiors. I have no need to pursue your wife or the Medicine Sovereign any longer." The immortal-foundation expert turned his gaze onto Qin Wentian. That old fellow Medicine Sovereign truly knows how to hide, the people of this particle world failed to find him. Even when the immortal acted personally, he failed as well. Nobody had any idea where the Medicine Sovereign hid himself away to.

"If you dare to kill anyone from the Thousand-Jue Alliance, I will make your friends and comrades suffer a fate worse than death." That immortal expert in the air crossed his arms in front of his chest and spoke in arrogance. The countenance of Fairy Qingmei and the rest all turned unsightly. They didn't expect that an immortal-foundation expert from the Star River Association would be sent here. This time, they were in a truly difficult situation.

"THE HEAVENS ARE HELPING ME!" The alliance leader laughed uproariously as he stared at Qin Wentian. "I said it before, submitting to a greater power is always the correct course of action. Qin Wentian, you won't be able to escape the calamity today."

The earlier experts here from the Star River Association and the Thousand-Jue Alliance all heaved a sigh of relief. They were already perspiring cold sweat but at this moment, only smiles could be seen on their faces. Everything has concluded, it has been truly a rollercoaster ride of emotions. When Qin Wentian started to radiate immortal light, they felt that they were at the edge of the abyss with no more hope. Who would have thought there would be an unexpected twist, the Star River Association actually sent an immortal-foundation expert over.

"You are too optimistic." Qin Wentian stared at the Thousand-Jue Alliance with a cold smile on his face. With a wave of his hand, a beam of immortal light slashed out. And as the sound of something being slashed rang out, blood splattered through the skies amidst the screams of the Thousand-Jue Alliance Leader.

"Have you gone mad?" The alliance leader roared in rage. "Do you want Fairy Qingmei and the others to suffer a fate worse than death?"

"Are you purposely antagonising me?" The second level immortal-foundation expert in the air spoke, unleashing his immortal might.

"Do you think he can save you?" Qin Wentian pointed to the immortal in the air while staring at the Thousand-Jue Alliance Leader. "Watch clearly."

As the sound of his voice faded, Qin Wentian soared into the air, facing off directly against that second level immortal. His perfect saint-grade immortal foundation unleashed an unparalleled might. The moment he soared into the air, the immortal light from the second level immortal expert was actually suppressed while he felt his immortal foundation trembling violently as though there was a terrifying pressure boring down on it. This was clearly a suppression effect when a low-grade immortal foundation encountered a high-grade one.

"How can this be?" His countenance drastically changed as his aura gushed forth frenziedly.

"BOOM!" A deafening blast rocked the sky. The body of the second level immortal from the Star River Association was trembling due to the shaking of his immortal foundation. It felt like his immortal foundation was about to be shattered. When Qin Wentian's immortal foundation unleashed its might, there seemed to be an image of his foundation manifested, shimmering in and out of existence. This was something no one had ever seen before, and it sorely suppressed the second level immortal to the point where he couldn't even breath.

For a lower level immortal to suppress a higher level one… At this instant, that immortal-foundation expert turned completely pale.

"Chi…" A tyrannical ancient halberd smashed out, bringing with it the law energy of destruction. It felt like only this ancient halberd existed in the entire world. The second level immortal from the Star River Association didn't dare to defend against it. He chose to retreat instead.

"BOOM!" The ancient halberd expanded at an alarming rate, flying out from Qin Wentian's hand as beams of destructive light manifested, penetrating through his opponent. That second level immortal's immortal foundation was instantly destroyed. His body trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief as he pointed his finger while mumbling, "How...how can this be?!"

As the sound of his voice faded away, his body instantly exploded as his soul disintegrated. Such a tyrannical death only took an instant.

"Ba-thump...ba-thump..." The heartbeats of those below quickened. The Thousand-Jue Alliance Leader had a face that was as pale as paper. As for those other experts from the Star River Association, their expressions were like dead ashes. Qin Wentian only used the span of a single breath to smash their hope, sinking them into despair again.

In the span of a breath, they fell from heaven, back into hell.

Qin Wentian's silhouette then flickered, appearing before the Thousand-Jue Alliance Leader once more. "The heavens are helping you?"

There was no hint of any color on the alliance leader's face. He suddenly felt that maybe, he had truly chosen incorrectly.

"There's no need to give me any of your pompous and shameless reasons. If the betrayal today didn't exist, the Thousand-Jue Alliance would be part of the hegemon ruling this world. But now...there's only death and destruction in your future." Qin Wentian's voice rang out like peals of thunder through heaven and earth, shaking the minds of the experts from the Thousand-Jue Alliance. The next instant, Qin Wentian waved his hand as beams of sword light slashed down. "Exterminate!"
