Chapter 21

Seeing Ye Lang pounce towards Qin Wentian, everyone in the Qin household was extremely tense. Ye Lang's palm trembled, and he seemed to transform into a demonic wolf, a shadow of a demonic wolf tearing towards Qin Wentian, roaring angrily, trying to tear him apart.

"Ye Lang has a demonic wolf star soul, no wonder he exudes a wild beast aura," everyone's expressions turned serious. Qin Yao's body had already pounced towards Qin Wentian, her star soul directly released, a ancient tree, her first star soul being the ancient tree star soul.

"Ye Lang, get out of the way," Qin Yao shouted, sharp ancient wood transforming into swords, all charging towards Ye Lang.

Ferocious primordial energy fused with divine techniques, bursting from the wheel meridians, unleashing terrifying divine power, a symbol of the wheel meridian realm.

"Shatter!" Ye Lang seemed to have gone mad, exuding a terrifying wild aura, like a beast, tearing through the ancient wood swords, his power overwhelming, continuing to tear towards Qin Wentian.

"Roar!" At this moment, Qin Wentian's arm transformed into a massive hammer, filled with brilliant starlight, then the hammer transformed into a blue dragon, the dragon's roar echoing through the nine heavens, like a giant dragon pressing towards Ye Lang.

The cold wolf king and the domineering blue dragon collided, a hurricane sweeping past, Qin Wentian and Ye Lang's bodies simultaneously retreating, their feet leaving deep marks on the ground.

"Wentian." Qin Yao's expression changed drastically, the ancient wood directly binding Qin Wentian's body.

Qin Wentian crashed into Qin Yao's body, finally stopping his retreat, feeling weak all over, with bloodstains on his fists, blood continuously seeping out.

"Phew, so strong, the realm gap is too large," Qin Wentian thought to himself. The star power stored in his limbs seemed to have been exhausted in that one strike, leaving him very weak.

"Truly worthy of a star soul condensed from the fifth heaven's stars, combined with the star meridians, it can gather the star power in my body into one strike in a brief moment, allowing me to withstand Ye Lang's full attack, but it also drained my star power."

At this moment, Ye Lang was even more shocked. He had been pushed back, and his claws hanging in the air were all covered in bloodstains. Qin Wentian could actually injure him.

"I will kill you." Ye Lang let out a beastly roar, staring at Qin Wentian. As he spoke, he took a step forward, the wild beast aura growing stronger, the ground collapsing with each step, the pressure terrifying.

"If you continue to be outrageous, don't blame me for being impolite," Qin Chuan said coldly, seeing that Ye Lang was still not giving up.

At the same time, Wu Xiuluo's eyes flashed with a ruthless light. Qin Wentian was a formidable person, and he needed to be eliminated.

"Bring Qin Wentian, Qin Yao, and the other four here, anyone who obstructs will be considered to defy the imperial order," Wu Xiuluo said coldly.

"Seize them." Ye Mo and Leng Ying spoke simultaneously, and in an instant, a suffocating aura enveloped the space, soldiers with long spears advancing towards the Qin household, making it hard to breathe.

Just as they issued their orders, a group of archers suddenly rushed out from the Qin household, instantly forming several rows, their buffalo horn bows drawn to a full moon, exuding a powerful and beautiful force.

"It seems the Qin household is rebelling," Ye Mo said coldly, his body directly rushing into the sky, heading towards the archers.

"Thud, thud, thud..." The bowstrings trembled, arrows piercing the air, shooting towards the knights, transforming into a rain of arrows, the arrows whistling through the air with a terrifying sharp sound.

Similarly, many arrows were aimed directly at Ye Mo in the air. Two star souls above Ye Mo's head bloomed simultaneously. The first star soul was the eagle star soul, granting him agile speed and fierce attacks; the second star soul was like a mountain, a powerful star soul formed by communicating with a mountain body martial destiny star, the stone mountain star soul, making his skin rock-like, enhancing his defense and attack.

Ye Mo's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, his stone-like hands smashing out, the overwhelming force destroying everything, all the whistling arrows exploding into pieces in the air.

Ye Mo, at the Primordial Palace realm, had awakened two star souls and even opened the third star gate, though he had not yet condensed the third star soul, his strength was extremely formidable.

At this moment, two elders appeared behind the archers. One of them glanced at Ye Mo walking in the air, and his body also shot into the sky.

"Imperial Guards?" Wu Xiuluo remained on his horse, his eyes cold. These figures were likely the Imperial Guards who had followed Qin Wu in his glorious days, but the Imperial Guards of today no longer had the former glory.

"Retreat to the Qin household." Qin Chuan roared as the iron cavalry swept in, the Qin household people continuously retreating.

In the direction of Qin Wentian, Ye Lang charged towards him like a beast, flanked by strong protectors, allowing him to charge with full force. The Qin household people blocking him were immediately severely injured.

Qin Yao led Qin Wentian continuously retreating, her gaze on the approaching Ye Lang, her expression extremely grim. This beast-like youth wanted to kill Qin Wentian.

"I will stop him." A figure appeared in front of Qin Yao and Qin Wentian, a leg sweeping out.

"Bang!" Ye Lang blocked the leg with his arm, then grabbed it with his other hand, a cruel look in his eyes.

"Qin Xiao, retreat." Qin Yao's face was stiff, but it was too late. Ye Lang's hand blade slashed down, cutting into Qin Xiao's thigh, and he let out a piercing scream, instantly falling down, his face pale, his leg severed, blood gushing out.

Qin Yao and the others had retreated to the entrance of the Qin household, more Imperial Guards rushing out, forming a powerful barrier. Ye Lang looked up at Qin Wentian, then down at Qin Xiao, his fist smashing into Qin Xiao's head, blood splattering, covering Ye Lang's face, adding to his ferocity.

"Qin Yao, I will make you my plaything, my slave, to play with whenever I want," Ye Lang said coldly, licking the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Qin Yao's body trembled slightly, her anger uncontrollable.

"Everyone, go back." Qin Chuan shouted. Wu Xiuluo had brought more people, and even with the Imperial Guards, they could not resist the enemy's strength. The younger generation must be preserved, no matter what.

Qin Yao's eyes burned with anger, as if she hadn't heard Qin Chuan's words. But at this moment, Qin Wentian grabbed Qin Yao's hand and said, "Sister, let's go into the household."

"Wentian, Qin Xiao..." Qin Yao's eyes were red. Although Qin Xiao was not her blood brother, he was part of the Qin household, his ancestors having followed Qin Wu in battle, taking the Qin surname. Though he was a collateral branch, the Qin household never treated collateral branches as outsiders, they were all brothers and sisters.

"I will definitely avenge him, definitely." Qin Wentian's calm voice contained a terrifying coldness. His calm eyes now held a beast-like fury, staring fiercely at Ye Lang: "Remember me, I will kill you."

Qin Wentian swore he would definitely kill Ye Lang.

"He won't be the first," Ye Lang stepped on Qin Xiao's body, his eyes like a demon. Qin Wentian pulled Qin Yao into the Qin household, and the Imperial Guards' arrow rain forced the enemy back. With the Imperial Guards, it would not be easy for them to breach the Qin household.

After Qin Wentian and the others entered the Qin household, chaos reigned. They hadn't expected the Ye household and the army to actually launch a siege on the Qin household.

"Yao'er, take Wentian to rest, and Qin Shang, Qin Zhi, you all go back. You don't need to worry about anything here, focus on your cultivation," Qin Chuan looked around at Qin Yao and the others, his expression serious.

"Father, we want to stay and help," Qin Yao said unwillingly.

"Go back." Qin Chuan shouted, "Remember, this will be the greatest crisis the Qin household has ever faced. If the Qin household loses this battle, we will do everything to ensure your safety. You are the future of the Qin household."

"The Qin household will not lose," tears streamed down Qin Yao's face.

"I'm just saying if. Since they are unjust, your grandfather will know what to do. As long as we hold out for a few days, the Qin household will have hope," Qin Chuan said, easing the tension in Qin Yao and the others. It seemed the old man still had a backup plan. The Qin household must not be destroyed like this.

"Father, I'm going to cultivate," Qin Wentian said to Qin Chuan, then turned and left, leaving Qin Yao and the others stunned. No one saw the blood seeping from Qin Wentian's tightly clenched hands, his nails piercing his flesh.

Qin Chuan looked at Qin Wentian's back, his eyes sharp, and said softly, "Yao'er, if anything really happens, if I ask you to protect Wentian, what will you do?"

Qin Yao's body trembled violently, staring at her father, tears streaming down her face, but a smile appeared in her eyes: "Father, as long as Wentian is here, I am here."

"Child." Qin Chuan looked at Qin Yao, his eyes filled with affection, and said, "Wentian's mental fortitude is unimaginable, and now he has shown astonishing talent. I hope the Qin household can have someone who can overturn this cold imperial power in the future."
