Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1202: Disciples of Matriarch Ji

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

In this academy, Huang Wudi and Huang Youdi had currently gathered together. There were several white tigers including White-eye who were here with them as well. All of them were searching for traces of Qing`er.

"Can Nie Yunchang really succeed?" White-eye asked.

"Since they're both from the same sect, they would naturally have some methods to communicate with each other. We just have to wait patiently for news," Huang Youdi coldly replied.

"The daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor isn't Nie Yunchang. This war caused heavy casualties on both sides and despite the fact that we laid a hand on Nie Yunchang, I don't believe this would provoke Matriarch Ji into acting against us. However, if we did something to the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, the Emperor would surely spare no expense to hunt us all down. Matriarch Ji might act as well." Huang Wudi gave a reminder.

"It's fine if we don't kill her, right? Anyway, they even dared to feast on the tribe members of the white tigers, so this is already sufficient cause for the White Tiger Race to launch an immortal war. Could it be that Brother White-eye is too good to bully and antagonize? In any case, we will leave Qing`er for you, my royal brother, to handle. When the time comes, even if you did something to her, she would at most be married into the royal clan of our Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire and become your woman. That wouldn't be such a bad ending. But if Elder Brother doesn't like her, I don't mind taking her," Huang Youdi said coldly.

Huang Wudi furrowed his brows. He knew that his younger brother had been harshly humiliated by Qin Wentian and a heart demon had already formed in his heart. Right now, his younger brother would do things without thinking of the consequences, and if Qing`er fell into his hands, he would definitely take out his anger on her. All of this was because of the immense hatred he had for Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian had already become his heart demon.

Although it was said that the elders wouldn't interfere in the conflict among the juniors, such things are not always absolute. For example, during the war in the sacred academy, the holy maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan had roasted the white tigers, while the white tigers had hunted down the holy maidens. Did that mean that the Southern Phoenix Clan elders were allowed to kill the juniors of the White Tiger Race? And if that was the case, the elders of the White Tiger Race could also slaughter the descendants of the Southern Phoenix Clan, and if the conflict were to blow out of proportion either both parties would have to reach a compromise, or an immortal war would occur.

Once an immortal war occured, the price to be paid wouldn't end with just the death of a few juniors. Hence, everyone still acted with cautiousness in their hearts.

However, there were some people that no one could afford to antagonize for example, people like Qing`er, Huang Shatian, and Huang Youdi. Most probably, none of the geniuses here would dare to kill them.

...

When Qing`er heard Nie Yunchang's cold words, her heart ached with pain. This pain was worse compared to her bodily injuries. She didn't think that Nie Yunchang would have such an intense hatred towards her.

"Senior Sister, I'm sorry," Qing`er said quietly, "I know that I've implicated you, but I truly never intended for that to happen, and I never expected for things to end up this way. However, Senior Sister, you cannot do this. I would have no complaints no matter how you treat me, but if you choose to do this, how will you still face our other fellow sisters as well as Master? If you do this, Senior Sister, you will truly tread on the path of no return."

"Return? Can I still return?" Nie Yunchang sneered. She glared at Qing`er, her expression was as hostile as ever. "Do you hate me now? Why do you have such a pitiful expression on your face? You should hate me, why are you such a hypocrite? Do you think that I would change my mind with this fake show of concern? If it weren't for the fact that they want to capture you alive, that strike I blasted out would have already crippled your immortal-foundation."

"No, this can't be." Qing`er shook her head. She stared at Nie Yunchang's face, but it felt like she was looking at a stranger. Was this really her senior apprentice sister?

"Alright enough, my lovely Junior Sister. It's time for me to deliver you to them. I really hope you'll suffer all the pain and humiliation I had to go through as well," Nie Yunchang said maliciously. There was a smile on her face, but it was a twisted smile.

"Why? Why must it be this way?" Qing`er mumbled, the pain in her heart had already reached its limits. Each of her words were like knives slicing into her heart. She had never been fond of conflict; she loved the harmony and peace among her fellow apprentice sisters. Reality shouldn't be so cruel.

The violent spatial energy from Nie Yunchang continued to ravage the interior of her body. However, Qing`er didn't seem to notice it. She stared at the sky as she closed her eyes. From her body, it seemed that a seal was being undone. Her immortal light grew even brighter, and suddenly, a terrifying spatial storm manifested.

"Mhm?" Nie Yunchang frowned. She could faintly sense that a fearsome spatial power had awakened from Qing`er's body. In fact, it was so overwhelming that it even began to devour her control.

Nie Yunchang released all her immortal might without restraint, strengthening her attack. Yet Qing`er didn't seem to have noticed this at all. She was still staring at the sky, seemingly numb to the energies ripping the interior of her body, as her spatial energy started to devour Nie Yunchang's. Her glowing body became more radiant, and even each strand of her hair turned as sharp as swords. At this moment, the entire space seemed to freeze.

This entire section of space suddenly glowed with a supreme immortal light that shot up into the heavens, illuminating the area.

"How is this possible?" Nie Yunchang had a shocked look on her face. Her cultivation base was higher than Qing`er's and she had made the first move before the other could react. Her talent was outstanding, her combat prowess was superior, and had a very profound proficiency in spatial energy control. If not, Matriarch Ji wouldn't have favored her in the past.

But at this moment, she actually felt her control over spatial energy slipping away with each second. She stared at Qing`er's beautiful and cold face, and the hatred in her eyes intensified. Why were the heavens so unfair? She had outstanding talent yet she had faced the greatest humiliation a woman could encounter. But why was Qing`er still able to remain so beautiful, had such a high status as well as supreme talent? Why were the heavens protecting Qing`er?

Nie Yunchang wanted to retract her palm, but to her horror, she discovered that her entire arm was frozen. The golden spatial energy covered her arm, locking it in space as it slowly circulated and began to move towards the rest of her body.

Gradually, her entire body seemed to be frozen under the power of space. She had no way of using her strength at all. In fact, when she wanted to retreat, she discovered that she couldn't even do it.

Before the might of this power, she actually had no way to defend herself.

A look of self-mockery suddenly appeared on Nie Yunchang's face. She stared at Qing`er and began laughing maniacally once again. "So this is the reason. No wonder your father, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, would dote on you so much. No wonder why Master is so protective, ordering all the fellow sisters to take care of you. The immortal king realm is your starting point and not the ending point, unlike so many others…"

Nie Yunchang had a crazed look on her face. She inclined her head and stared at the terrifying spatial storm. Was her pride and nobility all going to be stripped away in this place, the sacred academy that's renowned for producing ancient emperors?

From afar, Huang Wudi, White-eye, and their subordinates stared at the horizon as their eyes flashed. They could see a faint golden light rushing up into the sky.

"That might be Nie Yunchang's signal," Huang Wudi announced as he increased his speed and rushed toward the golden light.

From other directions, many experts had gathered together. One of them was none other than the senior sister who had blocked the attack for Qing`er, as well as experts from the Battle Saint Tribe, and other disciples of Matriarch Ji. At this moment, Qing`er's fellow apprentice sisters seemed to have sensed something as all their gazes turned sharp. They stared in the direction of Qing`er's location. "What a powerful spatial aura… Let's head over."

Their bodies radiated spatial energy as they moved through space. The experts of the Battle Saint Tribe also sped over in that direction.

From a place even further than this, Qin Wentian continued to rush through the land in his giant form. Cracks on the ground appeared with every step he took, and he was accompanied by many experts, all of them proceeded forward together. Such a spectacle naturally caused a huge commotion. With such a large figure, everyone could clearly see him even though they might be at an extremely huge distance away.

...….

AtNie Yunchang and Qing`er's location, after the former's maniacal laughter had quieted down, she stared at Qing`er, "You are such a hypocrite."

Qing`er stared at her senior sister who now seemed like an unknown person. Her face was cold, but she still couldn't hate Nie Yunchang. Naturally, her feelings for her as a fellow disciple had vanished.

"This energy isn't something that I can control. I don't even know why I would have such a transformation. But since you want to make assumptions, you can just assume that I'm a hypocrite," Qing`er said. After that, she slammed out with a palm, blasting Nie Yunchang backwards. At this moment, the terrifying spatial energy binding Nie Yunchang dissipated as her frozen body regained its freedom.

She stared in bewilderment at Qing`er's beautiful figure. Why would Qing`er release her? She then laughed disbelievingly. "Are you taking pity on me? Do you feel that I'm very pitiful?!"

Qing`er was speechless. She understood now that no matter what she did or what she said, it would have no effect.

From afar, in a different direction, several powerful auras were rushing over.

These auras belonged to Huang Wudi and his subordinates, as well as the experts of the Battle Saint Tribe, and Qing`er's senior apprentice sisters.

Staring at the current scene, the experts of the Battle Saint Tribe and the disciples of Matriarch Ji were all stunned. After a moment, a disciple of Matriarch Ji then asked, "Qing`er, what's going on?"

She had realized that there were tears in the corners of Qing`er's eyes. And the atmosphere between Qing`er and Nie Yunchang seemed somewhat strange. Huang Wudi and White-eye had also just arrived at the scene. So it turned out that earlier blast of aura had been caused by Nie Yunchang and Qing`er?

They were actually fighting each other?

Qing`er didn't say anything. Their senior apprentice sister then stared at Nie Yunchang, whose countenance was still like ice. That senior apprentice sister then continued asking, "Yunchang, what did you do to Qing`er?"

Nie Yunchang's expression was as glacial as ever. She looked at that senior apprentice sister while she mocked, "Qing`er, look. Even our fellow disciples favor you more."

"Yunchang." The frown on that senior apprentice sister's face deepened.

"Nie Yunchang, you can't even properly handle a sneak attack? Fucking trash!" Huang Youdi icily spat. The countenances of the disciples of Matriarch Ji all turned extremely unsightly at hearing his words.

Sneak attack? Nie Yunchang had ambushed Qing`er?

"Why did you do this?" The senior apprentice sister continued to ask.

"Why? Why don't you ask her what qualifications does she have to cause such destruction to befall on us all? Why must I, Nie Yunchang, fight for her?" Nie Yunchang coldly spat back. After hearing her words, their senior apprentice sister fell into silence. She stared at Nie Yunchang before she slowly said, "Once we enter into the teachings of our esteemed master, we are bound in spirit, and we are all as close as sisters. Nie Yunchang, you are unfit to be a disciple of our master!"
