Chapter 81

Qin Chuan's expression changed instantly when he saw Qin Yao appear. Seeing her rush out, he couldn't help but scold, "Qin Yao, don't worry about me."

Qin Yao's expression stiffened, her face pale, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes. "Father, how can I not worry about you?"

As she spoke, she turned around and looked at Yan Yuhang and the others from the State of Chu, saying, "Where is Chu Tianjiao? Why is this happening?"

Chu Tianjiao did not appear. Instead, Yan Yuhang took a step forward and said coldly, "Qin Yao, this person is a serious criminal of our State of Chu. This matter is now unrelated to you, and you are not allowed to interfere."

"Fine, fine, so vicious." Qin Yao's expression turned icy, and she said to the people around her, "I need to save someone."

One of them changed his expression slightly and said, "This is the State of Chu. That person is a serious criminal of our state, and besides, the powerful figures from our Snow Cloud Kingdom are not here."

Qin Yao then realized that Chu Tianjiao had used the pretext of hunting to let them in for training, but had left the powerful figures from the Snow Cloud Kingdom at the hunting grounds. Moreover, it seemed that someone had intentionally or unintentionally guided her here. It appeared that this was all part of Chu Tianjiao's plan.

"This is my business, and it has nothing to do with you." Qin Yao said, turning to head toward Qin Chuan.

"Qin Yao, think carefully. Those who擅自闯入黑堡 (illegally enter the Black Castle) will be killed without mercy," Yan Yuhang shouted sternly. Qin Chuan also roared, "Qin Yao, leave."

However, Qin Yao paid no heed and rushed into the training ground where Qin Chuan was. Yan Yuhang sneered, "Qin Yao, you are courting death."

As he spoke, many figures quickly appeared around them, surrounding the training ground.

In addition, Ye Zhan, Liu Yue, and others from the banquet also arrived, all quite surprised. It turned out that the third prince had made arrangements, and the Black Castle was a crucial place. Without someone deliberately letting them through, they wouldn't have been able to approach the Black Castle at all.

Qin Yao rushed into the training ground, but this was merely walking into a trap. Although Qin Chuan was severely injured and confined in the Black Castle, he could still exert the combat power of the fifth and sixth levels of the Wheel Meridian, which was stronger than Qin Yao. Moreover, Yan Yuhang and others were watching like vultures.

They didn't seem to be in a hurry to deal with Qin Chuan and Qin Yao, as if they were waiting for something.

Qin Wentian stepped forward, heading toward the front, but was held back by Mu Rou. Mu Rou whispered, "Qin Yao is already in trouble; you can't walk into the trap yourself."

If Qin Wentian intervened at this moment, Yan Yuhang and the others would have a reason to deal with him.

His dark eyes fixed on the two figures in the training ground. Qin Wentian looked into Mu Rou's eyes and said softly, "To see my father in such a state and still remain silent, how can I be a man?"

As he spoke, Qin Wentian sprinted forward, and under the surprised gazes of the crowd, he entered the training ground, leaving Mu Rou staring at his back, the men of the Qin family, with their unyielding spirit.

"Huh?" The crowd was stunned by Qin Wentian's appearance, even Qin Chuan and Qin Yao were confused.

However, a cold smile quickly flashed across Yan Yuhang's eyes. This Qilin boy was courting death.

"Friend, this has nothing to do with you. Leave," Qin Chuan said, having just killed a beast, to Qin Wentian. However, Qin Wentian did not respond, his movements were elusive, and he unleashed a powerful palm strike, killing a powerful beast.

At this moment, the beasts in the training ground were gradually being cleared, but around the training ground, many soldiers with bows and arrows were aiming at them.

"Now, do you still want to leave?" Yan Yuhang sneered, and they all rushed forward, heading straight for Qin Wentian and the others.

He had fought the Qilin boy twice without winning, which was a humiliation to him.

Yan Yuhang's sword aura was terrifying, emitting a fierce roar. His body lunged forward, and his finger pointed at the air, as if to unleash his ultimate power.

Qin Wentian stepped forward, his Wheel Meridian roared, and his palm gathered boundless power, unleashing a powerful strike, the Wheel Sea Seal, no longer concealing it.

"Kill." Yan Yuhang roared, his Star Soul burst forth, and this finger strike was one of his strongest attacks, incredibly powerful. However, the terrifying palm strike Qin Wentian unleashed seemed to engulf everything, its destructive force tearing their clothes apart.

A tearing sound was heard, and the Qilin mask on Qin Wentian's face was torn off by the sword aura, revealing his true face.

His handsome face was filled with determination, and his eyes were cold and lethal.

"Qin Wentian." The killing intent in Yan Yuhang's voice was thick. He never thought that the opponent he couldn't defeat multiple times was the Qin Wentian who had humiliated him a few months ago.

The noble children were also stunned when they saw Qin Wentian. The object of ridicule at the banquet not long ago, the guy rumored to be extremely rampant at the Imperial Star Academy, was already so powerful.

Chu Ling's expression was not good. She had always looked down on Qin Wentian, but now she realized that Qin Wentian was much stronger than her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"He is already so strong." Liu Yan whispered, a hint of disappointment in her heart.

"Wentian." Qin Chuan was both happy and worried when he saw the person was Qin Wentian. He was happy that Qin Wentian, who had practiced for less than a year, already had such formidable combat power.

"Wentian, who told you to come?" Qin Yao's face was pale; she didn't expect Qin Wentian to appear.

Qin Wentian turned and smiled at the two, the coldness in his eyes replaced by a gentle smile: "Father, Sister."

"Ridiculous, leave immediately." Qin Chuan roared, making Qin Wentian's expression stiffen.

"Stay here, kill." Yan Yuhang's voice fell, and a group of powerful figures rushed toward them. Qin Wentian clashed with Yan Yuhang again, sword aura and palm strikes colliding wildly.

"Liu Yue, if you kill him, it will be a great achievement, paving the way for your future." Ye Zhan said to Liu Yue, who stiffened, looked at Ye Zhan, and then nodded, holding a divine sword and advancing.

Liu Yan was startled by this scene, appearing particularly weak, and she looked at Qin Wentian deeply but said nothing.

Qin Chuan also had his own opponent. He knew that outside the Black Castle, the enemy could easily take their lives, but they were hesitant to act, perhaps for some ridiculous reasoning.

"Wentian, you are already so strong." Qin Chuan, now dirty and disheveled, looked at the young man's back, his bright eyes moist.

With a son and daughter like this, what more could he ask for? He could only sigh in his heart about the ruthless imperial power.

While Yan Yuhang and Qin Wentian were in a fierce battle, several people had already surrounded them, ready to attack at any moment.

At this moment, the two clashed again, their sword and palm strike meeting, both struggling.

"Opportunity." Liu Yue and others' expressions hardened. Qin Wentian had delivered himself, and they must kill him.

Seeing the simultaneous attacks from both sides, Qin Wentian roared at one of them, "Get lost."

A terrifying divine energy burst from his mouth, carrying a powerful palm strike, sending the person flying.

At the same time, he looked sharply at the other side, where Liu Yue's sword was about to strike. He had to free his hand, using a grappling technique to seize the sword, but was pierced by Yan Yuhang's sword aura, leaving a bloody wound on his body. Yan Yuhang was also pushed back, his internal energy churning, as Qin Wentian's palm strike was too powerful.

Qin Wentian did not look at the wound on his body but turned his gaze to Liu Yue, still holding the sword.

Liu Yue looked around and found himself alone, his face stiffening as he looked at Qin Wentian and said, "Qin Wentian, I have no choice. For my sister's future, you are bound to die today. If you truly have feelings for Liu Yan, why not let me have my way?"

Qin Wentian glanced coldly at Liu Yue, his hand trembling, and he suddenly seized the sword, pointing it at Liu Yue. "Considering the past, I won't kill you. Get lost."

Liu Yue took a step back but seemed unwilling to give up, still wanting to deal with Qin Wentian.

"You fool." In the distance, two graceful figures rushed over, Mo Qingcheng and Nuo Lan.

"Qin Wentian, Qingcheng has already told you, you don't owe Liu Yan anything. That day in the forest outside Tianyong City, it was Qingcheng who fed you with medicinal pills and cooked medicine for you. When Liu Yan and the others appeared, Qingcheng and I left. Liu Yan just happened to pass by and glanced at you."

"You idiot."

Nuo Lan seemed extremely angry, thinking how could this guy not value himself more, and Liu Yue wanted to kill him while he still thought of Liu Yan's feelings, what a fool, what an idiot.

Qin Wentian's heart trembled, and he looked at Mo Qingcheng's beautiful face.

Mo Qingcheng stood there, still as beautiful as ever. She nodded gently, saying, "It was the little guy by your side who led me to you. That's why he recognizes me."

Qin Wentian recalled the day he first truly met Mo Qingcheng in the imperial city, when the little rascal indeed jumped into her carriage.

His gaze turned to Liu Yan, saying, "So, it wasn't you who saved me outside Tianyong City."

Liu Yan looked bewildered. Her brother Liu Yue had always told her that Qin Wentian liked her, so he treated her well. She didn't know that Qin Wentian was repaying a debt, and she indeed hadn't saved him, just passed by.

Hearing Mo Qingcheng and Qin Wentian's words, she seemed to understand something. It turned out that everything was just a misunderstanding.

Seeing Liu Yan's expression, Qin Wentian understood everything.

A smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face, a bit demonic.

"So, we only had a brief encounter." Qin Wentian said.

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Yue, his eyes filled with intense mockery: "I even saved your life in the Dark Forest. I have no right to interfere in your life, and I can't control what circles you want to enter. We were strangers, but I really don't understand why you are so shameless, asking me to die for your future. How absurd."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, his killing intent raging, making Liu Yue's expression turn extremely ugly, fear flashing in his eyes.
