Chapter 1197: Meeting Each Other
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
"What happened?"
From afar, more experts flew over as they noticed the commotion. This location was bathed in flames and the red glow of the fire could be seen from extremely far away, amidst sounds of miserable howls of agony.
"White tiger greater demons." When they saw the situation, shock appeared on their faces as their hearts pounded.
These people must have gone mad. Earlier in the past, they heard of people roasting white tiger flesh for consumption before, but this was the first time any of them saw it.
"Crazy, a bunch of lunatics!" Staring at the chill on the faces of the holy maidens, the gazes of the crowd then turned to Qin Wentian. This was the man who completed the 81 steps in a single breath, announcing his return before demolishing the Stonebell Rampart. Right now, he truly has come back, and he did so in an absolutely overwhelming manner, crippling the white tigers and capturing them alive.
"The White Tiger Race is a saint beast tribe, a peak power of the Western Regions. Does his arrogance really know no bounds?" Somebody saw how crazy Qin Wentian was as they commented.
"Did you see that holy maiden? There's no aura from her at all, clearly she's been crippled. Also, there's anger and sorrow in the eyes of the other holy maidens. Don't forget what the objectives of these horny white tigers are. I believe that several holy maidens must have already been tainted by them. Since this battle has already erupted in all craziness, we should just observe. The white tigers might be a peak power in the Western Regions, but is the Southern Phoenix Clan in the Southern Regions not a peak power as well?"
Somebody replied, causing everyone to be speechless. That's right, the white tigers had always said that they wanted to capture the holy maidens alive to be used as breeding incubators, humiliating them before killing them. Such hatred truly could only be appeased somewhat if the holy maidens barbequed the flesh of the white tigers.
The flames grew higher in intensity, the white tigers who were being roasted started howling and cursing at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian's expression didn't change, he already learned of what happened during the war from Jun Mengchen and the experts of the Battle Saint Tribe. Since the white tigers formed an alliance to hunt down his friends, and even wished to capture holy maidens to humiliate and outrage their modesty before killing them, how could Qin Wentian not be angered by this? In addition, he still had no idea where Qing`er was now. Even if he killed all these white tigers here, he would still have no way to bring back those who died.
With regards to the fact that the White Tiger Race was a peak power, Qin Wentian didn't bother to think about that. If there were people who wanted to kill you and humiliate your friends, do you still need to consider their background? What meaning would there be in that?
From afar, there were also people of the White Tiger Alliance. But when they saw how domineering Qin Wentian was, the people of the White Tiger Alliance in this sacred academy didn't even dare to show themselves. Right now, Qin Wentian's comrades have once again re-grouped together. If they appeared now, they would all die without a doubt.
"Let's eat." Qin Wentian coldly spoke. Under the fire provided by the phoenix flames, the white tiger meat was fully cooked. Qin Wentian waved his sword and sliced the meat into many pieces as everyone stepped forward and began to feast.
The saint beasts, white tigers, every portion of their meat was something that contained an intense nutritional value, able to boost one's immortal energy and even to some extent, one's bloodline power. Naturally, the energy contained within the flesh of a saint beast wasn't something medical pills would be able to compare to.
At this instant, even the beautiful holy maidens were all feasting, ignoring their appearances. But even so, the hatred in their hearts was still burning, many of their sisters were still being hunted down in the other academies. This place was only a single academy out of the four blocks of sacred academies.
"How nourishing." Jun Mengchen spoke in a loud voice, "This feels awesome! Those vile beasts proclaim themselves to be so lofty, yet now all of them don't even dare to step out when their comrades are being turned into barbeque. How fucking ridiculous."
The four white tigers included a ninth-level immortal-foundation expert within. Their bodies were extremely gigantic, and no matter how large the appetite of Qin Wentian and his comrades was, it was more than sufficient for them to eat their fill. The immortal energy within their immortal-foundations involuntarily stirred, this feeling was truly enjoyable.
The eyes of many experts shone with greed, they also felt like tasting a portion and eating such a nutritious meal.
Such nutritious food was something they had never ever tried before. Humans and demons were different species from the start. Unless it was one's demonic beast companion or comrade, it's only normal for humans to eat demons. This was the same logic when demons ate humans. If the white tigers weren't a peak power in the immortal realms, there would surely be no lack of people wanting to hunt them down to try their meat.
"If anyone wants to try it, feel free to join us." Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with sharpness, he was able to sense the greed in the eyes of many experts.
However, everyone understood that the moment they ate a piece of white tiger meat, they would undoubtedly incur the hatred of the White Tiger Race.
"This meat is so fresh and delicious and it can even increase one's immortal energy, allowing one to have an opportunity to break through to the next level. Are your hearts not moved by that?" Qin Wentian continued speaking, causing the hearts of many to stir, silently cursing Qin Wentian for tempting them.
"Everyone is a human genius of a peak power in the immortal realms. Since the white tiger meat is already cooked, why don't you guys just enjoy it?" A voice drifted over. As the gazes of everyone turned in that direction, they only saw a group of experts walking over.
"Li Yufeng and Beiming Nongyue." Everyone stared at the couple in the lead, it seemed that they would stick together forevermore, never to be seperated. Li Yufeng walked up and smiled at Qin Wentian. "Let me make things clear first, this white tiger meat was cooked by you guys and has nothing to do with me. I'm merely here to enjoy the meat and won't join you guys in the war against the White Tiger Alliance."
"Please." Qin Wentian stretched his hand out in a gesture of invitation. He naturally had no objections to it. Some things needn't be said so clearly. Although Li Yufeng said he wouldn't participate in the battle, just by feasting on the white tiger meat, the White Tiger Race would undoubtedly hate him immensely. Since he dared to eat the meat, he must have already considered everything carefully. Everyone here was a supreme genius, hence there was no need for Qin Wentian to say anything once Li Yufeng made his decision.
Li Yufeng and Beiming Nongyue weren't courteous at all. They directly sat opposite to Qin Wentian and materialized immortal swords from their energy to carve the meat. Upon consuming it, Li Yufeng smiled, "Very nutritious indeed. It's nutritional value is much higher compared to some heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures I consumed in the past. As expected of a saint beast"
"Eat more then." Qin Wentian smiled.
Li Yufeng nodded, enjoying the taste as he continued, "You want to bring your comrades to fight back. Could it be that you don't fear Huang Shatian?"
When Qin Wentian heard this name, his eyes flashed with coldness. From what Jun Mengchen had said, the war back then precisely had the tides turned because of Huang Shatian's participation. His friends had no choice but to endure their enemies hunting them down because of that, leading to heavy casualties. A true supreme genius that stood at the pinnacle truly had the power to change the situation on the battlefield.
"Which sacred academy is Huang Shatian currently in?" Qin Wentian asked. If Huang Shatian participated once again, his presence would surely be a nightmare to all of his friends and comrades.
"Don't worry, after that war, Huang Shatian is being obstructed by someone else and had no way to extricate himself." Li Yufeng could understand Qin Wentian's worry as he spoke. "Are you acquainted with any experts from the Myriad Devil Islands?"
"Myriad Devil Islands?" Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed. However he shook his head, "I have no idea, I don't think I am acquainted with any of them."
"Mhm, that's interesting then. Did you know that after that war, some white tiger wanted to make a move against your wife. But a female expert, who happens to have an exceedingly high ranking in the Myriad Devil Islands, actually acted to save her. Also, she sent four extremely powerful devil-experts under her to block Huang Shatian, not allowing him to continue participating in the war. Right now, Huang Shatian cannot even cultivate in peace. If you are not acquainted with them, why would they help you?" Li Yufeng spoke.
Qin Wentian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this news regarding Qingcheng. But he himself was extremely puzzled, why would people from the Myriad Devil Islands aid him?
He was only acquainted with one man from the Myriad Devil Islands, and that man was his enemy, Mo Xie. From what the holy maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan told him, back then, the true instigator of this war between the white tigers and the Southern Phoenix Clan, might very well be Mo Xie.
He also heard that it was a female devil-cultivator who acted to save Little Rascal.
Who was she exactly, why was she helping him and his comrades?
"You seem to be very confident of your own strength, or you wouldn't be so daring to eat white tiger meat here out in the open, waiting for your enemies to attack. In addition, this is also under the circumstances where you had no idea that Huang Shatian wouldn't be able to participate. From this, it indicates that you have supreme confidence, and you believe that you can fight against Huang Shatian?" Li Yufeng's eyes gleamed with a dazzling light, staring at Qin Wentian as he asked.
The first time he learned of Qin Wentian was when his name was replaced by him. After that, he discovered that Qin Wentian was truly an extraordinary individual and the deeds he accomplished could truly shake the heavens and earth. He had always wanted to spar against such a supreme genius but naturally the most important thing was that he wanted to see what sort of person Qin Wentian was, to think that he actually dares to roast the flesh of white tigers for food.
When everyone heard Li Yufeng's words, they were stunned as well. It was like only now did they understand the deeper meaning behind Qin Wentian's roasting of the white tiger meat here. From a certain perspective, Qin Wentian was declaring war.
Before this, they didn't think about it. Or maybe, they had never even thought this would be possible, that Qin Wentian would be able to fight against Huang Shatian.
Even if he was stronger, even if Qin Wentian's return had shocked countless people, the aura Huang Shatian gave everyone was an aura of invincibility. Only if Qin Wentian's cultivation base advanced another two levels, would he, maybe, have a slight chance to qualify as Huang Shatian's opponent.
Qin Wentian smiled but didn't say anything. But at this moment, his eyes suddenly turned to a direction as his body flashed, speeding towards there.
When his footsteps stopped, a stunning figure appeared before him, with a face that could topple empires.
After becoming an immortal, Mo Qingcheng's demeanor underwent a transformation. Her beauty further intensified, and she now exuded an extraordinary aura, like that of a celestial maiden.
A smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face. Seeing that Qingcheng was safe, it was naturally a good thing.
Mo Qingcheng walked out, she lightly tugged on Qin Wentian's robes before sinking her head down to his chest. She wanted to set her heart at ease by feeling him close to her. They have already been separated for over 40 years.
"Wentian, I missed you." Mo Qingcheng's gentle voice caused Qin Wentian's heart to melt. He hugged her delicate frame and replied, "I missed you too."
He inclined his head and stared at the horizons only to see a group of figures turning away and departing the area. The female in the lead had an extremely alluring figure, but she exuded a coldness that belonged to the devil path. Her features were masked as well, but when Qin Wentian stared at her back view, he couldn't help but to furrow his brows as he asked, "Qingcheng, do you know who she is?"
"I have no idea, she protected me all this while but hasn't said a single sentence to me. I didn't even have the chance to hear her voice." Mo Qingcheng also turned, staring at the back view of the female figure as she spoke.
"No matter who she is, I owe her a debt." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice as he pulled Mo Qingcheng away. Staring at this couple, everyone glanced at Li Yufeng and Beiming Nongyue after that as they couldn't help but to exclaim in their hearts. To think that an immortal couple like Li Yufeng and Beiming Nongyue would exude a radiance that was dimmer in comparison to Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng.
The group of people didn't speak much and continued feasting on the white tiger meat, waiting for the incoming war. Regardless of Qin Wentian or people from the Southern Phoenix Clan, they were both preparing for this.
However, before the experts of the White Tiger Alliance arrived, an incredibly lofty figure actually appeared in the air. His cold eyes stared icily at Qin Wentian as he spoke, "I once said that I don't want to see you feasting on demon flesh again. Seems like you have never put my words in your heart."
Qin Wentian inclined his head. This man was none other than the ninth-level expert of the Sky Roc Race, Jia Gu. He had once mocked Qin Wentian during the dao lecture when Qin Wentian took the lead seat among the 3,000 seats. Also, he wasn't happy about Qin Wentian feasting on white tiger flesh because he was similarly a greater demon.
"Scram!" Qin Wentian didn't even bother to say anything, telling Jia Gu to scram right off the bat!
