    Qin Wentian just quietly cultivated in the City of Ancient Emperors, he had no idea of themotion he caused in the external world.


    Although everything happened inside the city, there always had been an unbreakable connection between the city and the external world. This was especially so after Qin Wentian’s identity was exposed. How could his enemies spare him? The experts in the city instantly headed back to report to the immortal emperors.


    Gradually, Qin Wentian’s name resounded out not only in the City of Ancient Emperors solely.


    In fact, even in the emperor-dimension of the city, a hugemotion was created as well.


    Many emperors in the City of Ancient Emperors encountered attacks because the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord were within that group. Finally, they were forced to exit and return to the immortal realms.


    However, things weren’t at an end yet. Voices appeared in the immortal realms saying that Qin Wentian might keep hiding in the City of Ancient Emperors and refuse to exit. If one wanted to kill Qin Wentian, they had to start by acting against the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect and the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Of course, the main point was to act against the Evergreen Immortal Empire because everyone knew that the woman Qin Wentian loved, was none other than Evergreen Qing`er.


    Because of such voices, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect had no choice but to disband. This was a helpless gesture for them. If the major powers really ganged up on the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, they would definitely bepletely annihted. They could only temporarily choose to disband.


    Hence, the once the Thirteen Prefectures of Eastern Sage, entered an era where there was no one governing it. Countless experts contended against each other for power daily, plundering cultivation resources. After all, the strongest elites were all in the City of Ancient Emperors. This made it so that those second-tier third-tier experts, had a chance to do whatever they wanted.


    However, although the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect could choose to disband, the Evergreen Immortal Empire was simply too vast and their foundations were already stable long ago. It wasn’t so easy for them to disband just like that. Finally, the Evergreen Empire encountered attacks from experts of many major powers. There were even many emperors joining in, the ones leading the charge were none other than the other emperors of the eastern regions who participated in the war many years ago.


    How could the Skymist Immortal Empire, Paragon Sword Sect, Taihua Immortal Dynasty, miss out on this godsent opportunity? They joined forces with those major powers who viewed Qin Wentian with hatred. The Senluo Immortal Empire, Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, and even emperors from the three demon races. The Evergreen Immortal Empire sent out an order for all the experts toe back and guard the empire. The situation could be ignited with a single spark, the atmosphere was iparably tense.


    And this was because many emperors were still in the City of Ancient Emperors and have yet to return. If not, themotion would definitely be evenrger. But even so, just this already caused the Evergreen Immortal Empire to feel an impending sense of doom.


    Finally, these expertsunched their attack. They ughtered many experts from the Evergreen Immortal Empire and captured many important characters from the Evergreen Empire as hostages. Among them, the younger sister of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, Princess Changping as well as her husband, the Crimson-Eye Marquis, were both captured.


    And this was even after the major powers showed mercy. Many major powers in the eastern regions wanted the Evergreen Immortal Empire to disappear. However, there were many powers from the other regions who only wanted Qin Wentian and didn’t wish toplicate things. Hence, they did this to give the Evergreen Immortal Empire pressure, wanting them to give Qing`er up. Everyone in the immortal realms knew about the love between Evergreen Qing`er and Qin Wentian. As long as they captured Qing`er, Qin Wentian would definitely show up.


    Right now, they wanted to use the hostages as an exchange.


    However, how could the Evergreen Immortal Emperor hand out the daughter he doted upon the most? In fact, he didn’t even send anyone to notify Qing`er, wanting to bear this burden alone. He would rather fight to the death than to implicate his daughter.


    However, given howrge this matter was, news of it would definitely still reach the City of Ancient Emperors. Although the Evergreen Immortal Emperor didn’t send anyone to inform Qing`er and even wanted to hide this from her, Qing`er eventually learned of this from other sources.


    Not only did Qing`er know about this, those from the Matriarch Ji’s sect and the Southern Phoenix n also knew about this.


    Right now, they were all gathered together. The experts from the Matriarch Ji’s sect stared at Qing`er and spoke, “Junior sister Qing`er, senior Evergreen clearly wants you to stay here away from danger. You must not do any silly things and throw yourself into the to be captured.”


    “My empire is in danger, my father doesn’t wish to implicate me but how can I allow the empire he built to die just like that? Let alone, my aunt was also captured by them.” Qing`er spoke in a light voice, her tone filled with hints of sorrow. Back then when Qin Wentian’s identity was exposed, she already had a strong feeling of unease. She didn’t expect everything toe so fast. They didn’t wish to wait for Qin Wentian to exit the city and directly acted against the Evergreen Immortal Empire. They wanted her to go to them, exchange for the hostages and used her to threaten Qin Wentian.


    “But Qing`er, you should know that the person they want isn’t you. They want Qin Wentian. By going, you wouldn’t change anything. They wouldn’t stop their attacks either.”


    “That’s right junior sister. You must not go over.”


    The people from Matriarch Ji’s sect persuaded. A look of sorrow was in Qing`er’s eyes. She turned her head and stared at the horizons. Over there, boundless radiance could be seen cascading downwards onto a magnificent figure. Qin Wentian was sitting there cross-legged, immersed in his cultivation.


    He has already cultivated for many years and he seemed to be in the midst of gaining an insight, and was in apletely immersed state.


    Staring at that figure, Qing`er smiled radiantly. In this life, she has already be his woman and had no more regrets. It was just that she would no longer be able to see him ascend to the peak of the immortal realms.


    As she smiled, a translucent tear rolled down her face. How beautiful was that? This scene caused all the experts from the Matriarch Ji’s sect to be touched. They mutually exchanged nces and voice transmissions, “What’s junior sister nning?”


    “That teardrop, it seems that she hase to a decision, but I wonder what it is.”


    “Fellow sisters, can you all promise Qing`er one thing?” Qing`er nced at all of them.


    “Qing`er, please speak.”


    “After I leave, don’t tell him about this matter, don’t disrupt his cultivation. Just treat it as though nothing has happened. If he asks about me, tell him that I returned to the Evergreen Immortal Empire to take a look.” Qing`er spoke.


    “No way!”


    “Qing`er, tell us what are you nning to do exactly?”


    Everyone decisively rejected.


    “Fellow sisters, take it as Qing`er is begging you all.” Qing`er seriously spoke. The hearts of everyone trembled, staring at her beautiful countenance as their hearts stirred.


    “You want to give your life in ce of him? But what can you aplish with that? Those people would never spare him. After he learns about it, do you think he wouldn’t go and look for you?” Immortal King Junyi agitatedly spoke. They all could faintly sense that Qing`er was determined to die. She might very well be sending herself to death.


    “Senior sister, you have no idea how tough it is for him to climb up all the way here. His origins are from a particle world, and he had to climb up step by step. I know all of his experiences and you guys should already have seen his talent. Now, he is already unrivalled in the City of Ancient Emperors, and in the future, he would definitely be unrivalled in the immortal emperor realm. He is destined to stand at the peak. I shall take his ce and face this cmity in his stead.” Qing`er smiled.


    “I shall make the appropriate arrangements. If I die, the major powers wouldn’t be able to use me to threaten him. He will definitely avenge me. He also wouldn’t go recklessly to give up his life. As long as he is alive, there is hope.”


    Qing`er understood Qin Wentian too well. She knew that if she was alive, Qin Wentian would definitely go and save her even if he were to die. But if she died and told her fellow sisters to get Qin Wentian to take revenge for her, there would be many other implications and Qin Wentian wouldn’t recklessly court death. After all, there was still Qingcheng in his heart.


    All the maidens stared at Qing`er. Usually, Qing`er wasn’t a woman of many words, treating her words like gold. But now, they actually discovered how witty and sensitive she was. She had already seen through Qin Wentian’s thought process and even thought of a method to deal with the aftermath after she dies.


    “No...” They shook their heads. They had no way to ept this. No matter how outstanding Qin Wentian’s talent was, to them, Qing`er was still the person closest to them. They didn’t want to see Qing`er dealing with the cmity in his stead. Definitely not.


    “Senior sisters, listen to me.” Qing`er smiled at the maidens here as she continued gently, “I’m already his woman. His matters are my matters, this is a very ordinary concept. If he dies, I shall die together with him. But if I die, he would definitely take revenge and wouldn’t die so needlessly. Do you all want to see us both dying, or would you allow Qing`er to protect the life of the man I love?”


    The hearts of the maidens here trembled violently. They stared dumbfoundedly at Qing`er, only to see her still smiling at them. Their hearts were shaking tumultuously, but what else could they say when Qing`er already put it like this?


    “Senior sister, I will stay here for one more day. Can you guys send me out tomorrow?” Qing`er smiled. After that, she turned around and walked to that giant rock and sat there. She inclined her head and stared at Qin Wentian who was cultivating in the air. How peaceful did he seem? How handsome did he look?


    She simply sat there and looked at him as the memories between them started to appear once again in her mind.


    She even recalled the time when they first met. She was beside her master, Fairy Qingmei, and met the young Qin wentian who roamed around to temper himself. After that, her master told her to guard him. And this task, continued on for many years.


    She also remembered that for the sake of Mo Qingcheng, he dragged the demon sword for ten thousand miles and cleaved the Pill Emperor Hall into two. For love, he didn’t mind giving his life.


    She also thought of how she felt when he finally confessed and told her to wait for him, before she left the particle world.


    As she recalled all these memories, her beautiful eyes that were staring at that figure, turned wet as tears flowed once more. However, she was still smiling, and her smile was exceedingly beautiful.


    This life, has already been very perfect. If she could die in his stead, that could also be considered a perfect ending. For him, she was willing to give her life.


    She had no more regrets in this life. If there really is a next life, she was still willing to be his wife.


    She only hoped that they wouldn’t have to suffer too much in the next life and wished to meet him as early as possible. If there really is one, she would tell him she loved him at the earliest opportunity and get married with him as soon as possible, spending as much time as she could together, making everyone in the world envy them!
