Chapter 27

The iron cavalry trampled the earth, sweeping toward Qin Wentian and the Dixin Academy. Ye Mo did not move; his gaze remained fixed on Mo Shang. Since these people represented only personal stances, he would not show the slightest courtesy.

Qin Wentian glanced around; the people Ye Mo brought were still gathering here. However, the Dixin Academy had only over ten martial cultivators, and they were all so young. This battle would still be very difficult.

"Dashan." The alluring woman beside Qin Wentian called out, and instantly a towering figure rushed out. Star souls blossomed, and two star souls appeared above his head. The first star soul was a demonic ape star soul, exuding a terrifyingly violent aura, as if it were alive; the second star soul was a stone man.

"Such a combination of star souls, how strong would the defense be?" Qin Wentian's pupils contracted. The demonic ape star soul and the stone man star soul were absolutely a super defensive combination, and their offensive power would also be strong. Those with the talent to condense multiple star souls would carefully consider the combination of star souls.

"Earth Burst." The young man called Dashan slammed his fists into the ground, and instantly a terrifying torrent surged forward, the ground crazily exploded, forming deep pits, and the warhorses neighed.

However, warhorses still leaped over from the side, directly charging toward Dashan. Dashan's feet trembled, but his body stood firm like a mountain.

A long spear whistled toward Dashan, but he caught both spears with his hands. The warhorse directly collided with him, but the terrifying force did not make his feet move.

"Indeed, such terrifying defense." Qin Wentian's heart trembled. Then he saw Dashan lift the man and the spear together, slamming them onto the ground. Blood and flesh flew, and the warhorse was so frightened that it ran away on its own, causing the formation in that direction to be in chaos, presenting a formidable defense.

Battles also erupted in other directions. Qin Wentian saw a person with two sword star souls, and they seemed to be merging. The entire person exuded a terrifying sword aura, and wherever he went, blood rained down.

All of them were dual-star-soul meridian realm experts. The Dixin Academy only accepted geniuses.

However, Ye Mo's people were numerous, and some still attacked Qin Wentian. But the woman beside him smiled slightly, and her palm suddenly swung out. Qin Wentian only saw a whip shadow flash, and the figure on the warhorse was directly whipped away, falling to the ground dead. The whip was as sharp as a sword, killing with one move.

"Junior Brother, you need to leave here." The woman's arm hooked around Qin Wentian's neck, her smiling face only a step away from him, making Qin Wentian's mind uneasy, cursing her as a demoness.

"Go, you being here will affect their battle." Ruo Huan continued, and Qin Wentian nodded slightly. He knew that with his current strength, he would only be a burden.

"Go." Qin Wentian decisively headed toward the direction with fewer people.

"Sister will protect you." Ruo Huan followed, her whip sweeping, instantly clearing a path ahead.

"Yu Fei, help me cover the rear."

"Alright." The young man with the sword leaped into the air, landing behind Ruo Huan. Several sword lights swept out, and the pursuers were immediately killed on the spot.

Qin Wentian ran away, not even looking back at the battlefield. Seeing the strength of the Dixin Academy people, he felt even more his own weakness. Whether it was Dashan or Yu Fei, they could kill any number of body cultivation realm people, and at least meridian realm experts would be needed to fight them.

"Junior Brother, where are we going?" Ruo Huan always followed Qin Wentian, walking leisurely, maintaining the same speed without any effort.

"Mo Shang and the other seniors can resist those people?" Qin Wentian asked.

"No, among us, only the teacher is at the Yuanfu realm, and the others are at most at the seventh meridian realm. On the other side, Ye Mo is at the Yuanfu realm, and there are also many meridian realm experts. Moreover, this is not all their strength. As long as another Yuanfu realm expert appears, the battle will be one-sided. And once this happens, the Dixin Academy people will immediately choose to retreat."

Ruo Huan, though running, spoke very clearly. She knew how terrifying a Yuanfu realm expert was. As long as another one appeared, no matter how strong her fellow disciples were, they would have to escape and do so as quickly as possible.

Qin Wentian nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."

Clearly, these people appearing in Tianyong City to save him was a great risk.

Ruo Huan giggled and asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Star River Guild." Qin Wentian said, making Ruo Huan show a hint of surprise. She asked, "You joined the Star River Guild?"

"No, I know a master alchemist in the Star River Guild, and he agreed to let me take refuge there temporarily." Qin Wentian replied.

Ruo Huan's alluring eyes flickered, as if thinking about something. Then she said, "Can we not go?"

Qin Wentian looked at Ruo Huan in surprise and said, "My family might have gone there, and besides, with Tianyong City sealed, the Star River Guild is the only place we can take refuge."

Ruo Huan did not say anything more and ran with Qin Wentian toward the Star River Guild without a moment's pause. When Qin Wentian arrived at the Star River Guild, the effects of the acupuncture technique had worn off, and unprecedented fatigue invaded his body, making him want to fall down, but he could not at this moment.

Inside the Star River Guild, Qin Ye and Qin Yao were indeed there, but compared to when they broke through, the number of people was only half, and the sacrifices were almost all martial guards. The core members of the Qin Family were all there, but they all bore injuries.

"Wentian." When Qin Ye and the others saw Qin Wentian enter the Star River Guild, they all walked over.

"Do you have any news of your second uncle?" Qin Ye asked.

Qin Wentian's expression stiffened, and he shook his head. Instantly, Qin Ye and Qin Shang's faces turned pale.

"It seems I was right; the Qin Family is indeed going to be destroyed." A sharp voice came from the side, and Qin Wentian's gaze turned, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Lin Yue had come to retrieve a divine weapon today. Seeing Qin Wentian and his group in such a wretched state, she could not help but mock them.

Lifting his feet, Qin Wentian walked toward Lin Yue step by step, his cold eyes like a blade, making Lin Yue's expression stiffen. "Is your family about to be destroyed, so you want to take it out on me?"

"Get lost." Qin Wentian spat out a single word, making Lin Yue's expression freeze. Get lost? This defeated dog dared to tell her to get lost, but the pressure Qin Wentian gave her made her feel uneasy.

"Master Feng Ping." At this moment, Feng Ping walked over from not far away, and Lin Yue was instantly delighted, running over.

"Get lost." Before Lin Yue reached Feng Ping, she heard him coldly say, making her feet freeze, her face turning pale.

Feng Ping's mood was very bad, and he had no time to deal with Lin Yue. He walked straight to Qin Wentian and said, "Young Master Wentian, you have arrived."

"Master Mu Qing is in seclusion, refining an artifact. He will come out shortly. Please rest in the hall for a moment." Feng Ping was very polite, making Lin Yue's expression stiff. Qin Wentian and the others nodded and sat down to rest, but their moods were extremely heavy, and no one spoke. They did not know what the situation with the Qin Family was now.

"Get lost, don't come to me again." Feng Ping said to Lin Yue indifferently, ignoring her humiliated expression.

Many people in the Star River Guild were paying attention to the Qin Family, sighing in their hearts. The once powerful Qin Family in Chu State was now on the brink of collapse, and the Qin Family people were facing a dire situation.

Time slowly passed, but Mu Qing did not appear. Until the sound of hooves came from outside, and a group of iron cavalry stopped a hundred meters from the Star River Guild. It was clearly Ye Mo's people, and Ye Mo led some people directly to the door of the Star River Guild. Instantly, their eyes met with those of the Qin Family people, and a terrifying pressure spread.

The sound of hooves continued, and more of Ye Mo's people kept arriving, including Wuxiu Luo.

The Qin Family people all felt a heavy pressure.

"Long time no see." At this moment, a cheerful voice came, and Mu Qing, the president of the Star River Guild, and the proud woman walked over.

"Qin Wentian, have you considered the matter?" Mu Qing asked with a gentle smile, making people feel comfortable.

"Matter?" Qin Wentian was taken aback.

"Joining the Star River Guild and becoming my disciple."

"Master Mu Qing, isn't it a guest position?" Qin Wentian showed a puzzled look.

"No, no... The president said that a guest position is no longer needed here. Consider joining the Star River Guild and becoming my disciple."

Qin Wentian's eyes narrowed, and Ruo Huan, who was beside him, whispered in his ear, "Do you have something he wants? Being a guest in the Star River Guild, he has no control over you, but once you join the Star River Guild and become his disciple, you have to do what he says."

Qin Wentian was not stupid, and neither were the people of the Qin Family. At this moment, seeing the gentle smile on Mu Qing's face, they felt a chill all over their bodies. That smile was like a venomous snake, making them shudder.

Clearly, Mu Qing was deliberately waiting for Ye Mo to bring his people, putting the Qin Family in a desperate situation, and then coming out to leave Qin Wentian with no choice.

"What a sinister guy." Feng Ping cursed in his heart, his eyes filled with anger. He thought he was no longer a good person, but after a few days with Mu Qing, he felt too 'innocent.' The reason he was in a bad mood was that the second-grade mystic pattern Qin Wentian gave him was borrowed by Mu Qing. When he went to ask for it today, he was instead insulted by Mu Qing.
