The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 31: The Long Journey

Taking the fact that three allied garrisons were setting out towards the Royal Capital, where Qin Wu and Qin Chuan were being held, Qin Wentian understood that they were indirectly exerting pressure on the Emperor. Only by taking such actions for a while could it ensure the safety of Qin Wu and Qin Chuan.

As for the matter of expelling him from the Qin Clan, Qin Wentian was also very clear that this was all done with the intent to protect him. Perhaps as long as he disappeared, there was some communication between the Mustang and the Qin Clan.

“In a cultivation-oriented world, the stronger, the more absolute the authority. If there was a day when I could soar through the sky and reach the peak of my strength, I would definitely trample on the so-called 'imperial authority'. "Qin Wentian took a deep breath as flames started burning in his heart. Since his first Astral Soul was condensed from the 5th Heavenly Layer, he could do the same for the condensation of the 2nd and 3rd Astral Soul. What he needs now is time …

Using the night as cover, Qin Wentian arrived at the Qin Residence without drawing any attention to himself. In the distance, he found some silhouettes that were riding their horses and carrying their luggage, as if they were ready to make a long journey.

"Sister Yao." Mounted on their horses, the figures were galloping. After a while, Qin Yao and the others arrived at Qin Wentian's location, and upon seeing him, Qin Yao stiffened.

"More." Qin Yao's face smiled happily as she got off her warhorse and ran towards Qin Wentian.

"Sister, Qin Shang, Qin Zhi, where are you going?" Ask Qin Wentian.

“Wentian, Grandpa and Dad brought to the Royal Capital. With no other choice, the Qin Clan mobilized their forces and decided to launch an attack on the Royal Capital. If we are finally defeated, only death awaits us. Second Uncle decided that we should go to the Snow Cloud Country to cultivate us, ”Qin Yao explained. Only now did Qin Wentian understand. “Although the fight is imminent, victory and defeat have been determined. Making the younger members leave the Qin Clan Chu Country was the best decision. ”

"Fearful of peeping, we decided to leave at night. The younger members of the Qin Clan would all leave in batches. Wentian, when you arrive at Emperor Star Academy, you should do your best to cultivate and not bother with battle matters. "Qin Yao's eyes flushed red as she tried her best to hold herself together

"i understand. The same goes for all of you. "Qin Wentian nodded heavily. Wanting to overthrow the Royal Capital with a little of their strength was none other than impossible. Despite knowing this, Qin He still had no choice but to continue this decision.

“Oh right, Uncle Black has disappeared, and we can't find him. Second and Third Uncle was outside the city, so there was no longer any need to go to the Qin Residence. Instead, you should create the Star Emperor Academy as soon as possible, Qin Yao continued.

"Black Uncle disappeared?" Qin Wentian displayed a puzzled expression on his face. He originally wanted to ask Uncle Black about the problem of demonic apes, but it seemed now impossible. Not only that, Black Uncle was someone who possessed a lot of knowledge, and was definitely a figure with an extraordinary status in the past. Despite this, Black Uncle refused to tell him of his origin. After seeing the power displayed by the demonic ape as well as the mysterious little astral left to him by his old mist about a father, Qin Wentian couldn't wait to find out about his biological parents.

"Qin Yao, we should leave now to avoid spies from the Ye Clan." Qin Shang walked forward as he looked to Qin Wentian and declared, "Wentian, in the Qin Clan, your talent is the best. In the future, you will have extraordinary achievements.You must definitely become a prime existence, someone who has the ability to take down a kingdom with a single word. "

"Sister, I understand. As for revenge for Second Uncle, I will definitely make the Ye Clan repay this debt with blood. "Qin Wentian solemnly swore. Qin Shang's father was Qin He, and it was because of Qin Wentian that he had lost one of his legs. And now, regardless of his condition, he was leading the Qin army towards the Royal Capital for the sake of the Qin Clan.

"After you arrive at the Royal Capital, remember to remain cautious in all matters." Qin Shang patted Qin Wentian heavily on his shoulder.

"Wentian, we'll take our first leave." Qin Yao's eyes reddened, as if she couldn't bear to part from Wentian. He extended his hand slightly as he walked to Qin Wentian's side. Upon seeing this, Qin Wentian smiled gently. He hugged Qin Yao into his arms and patted her on the back before laughing, "Sister, don't worry. Dad's gonna be fine. I will definitely work hard at the Star Emperor Academy. As for you, you should remember to be careful in all matters after you arrive at the Snow Cloud Country. "

"true." Qin Yao held on in her arms, unwilling to break. Only after Qin Shang and Qin Zhi put up their war horses did Qin Yao finally loosen her grip. With tears in her eyes, she added as she struggled to smile, "Scent boy, when we meet next, you need to be strong enough to protect me, okay?"

After he finished speaking, Qin Yao turned her body and she stepped onto the ground, twisting her body in midair with a somersault before landing gracefully on her horse.

"Cha!" Shouted Qin Yao, and the warhorse galloped, moving like the wind. He did not turn his head to take a last look at Qin Wentian. Qin Shang and Qin Zhi ran over to him, and their backs gradually disappeared in the distance.

"Hu ...." Qin Wentian clenched his hands tightly, his gaze fixated on the sky. He is filled with one unshakable belief — he must become stronger.

"Aren't you supposed to be on your way?" At this moment, a voice floated. Qin Wentian turned around, only to see a shadow figure walking towards him.

"I thought you'd come back. I've been waiting for you the last few days. "Francis led two horses as he walked towards Qin Wentian.

"Hmh." Qin Wentian coldly snorted, his face looking cold. Murin's arrogant face was etched deep in his mind.

"I know you have nothing but hatred in your heart for the Star River Association, but everything that happens has nothing to do with me. Murin has returned to the Royal Capital after he realized that he has no way of controlling you. I believe that regardless of Ye Mo's death, the benefits that the Ye Clan promised him should remain very attractive. Not only that, Murin brought all the divine imprint you had traded to him, including the one you gave me to the Royal Capital, without leaving a single one behind. "Francis voice carried an ice-cold tone as he explained.

"What does this have to do with me?" Qin Wentian replied coldly.

“I know you questioned my character. Ten years ago, I became a Stellar Martial Cultivator, but due to my inadequate talent as well as weak affinity, I cannot number much. During that time, there was a weapons expert who told me that, there are many ways to make my mark. Aside from being a Stellar Martial Cultivator, I can devote my time to comprehending the insights behind the mysterious divine imprint and becoming a weapon expert. So I decided to follow him. Ten years, I apprenticed for a full ten years before he was willing to give the simplest divine imprint to me. ”

Francis is still angry despite the events that happened a long time ago, “Ten years, he spent ten years of my life. But even with those few simple divine prints, I actually worked hard and clawed my way to the Star River Association, endlessly upgrading my skills and gaining new imprints. There, I finally had some small achievements. My experience in weapon forging has reached the stage where I am half a step into the realm of a level 2 weapon expert. As long as I can gain insight into a tier 2 divine imprint, I will have the chance to truly become a tier 2 weapon expert. However, all of this was destroyed in Murin's hands. "

He originally wanted to take the time to complete the tier 2 divine imprint that Qin Wentian had given him to gain some insight. However, Murin shamelessly took them from hers by force.

"I, Francis, cannot be considered a good person, but once I get the compensation, I will definitely forge a divine weapon for the buyer. Although the quality is somewhat lacking, I will still make sure that the divine weapon is forged according to the requirements of the buyer. Whatever happens, I still have a bottom line that I don't want to convey. But for Murin, that person had no bottom line at all. But then how? I could only look at him from afar and lament that my abilities were insufficient. Even if I hate her, what can I do to her? "

Qin Wentian could feel Francis' despair. Everyone has their own story. The thorny path that Francis has traveled up until now, struggling with every step to achieve his own ambitions, has his hopes stolen and his dreams easily shattered by Murin, who is,

"And what about that?" Qin Wentian asked calmly. Naturally, he would not allow mercy to cloud his judgment.

"Qin Wentian, you have a heaven-defying talent, and can even easily grasp the mysteries of the 2nd level divine imprint that eludes most of us. If you spend time forging weapons, you will certainly be able to obtain a very attractive compensation, but I assume that you would rather use the time you want to cultivate. For other worldly tasks, I can help you. I don't need anything in return. I will do everything I can to help you on your path of martial arts. "

Upon hearing Francis' words, Qin Wentian was slightly touched. He naturally understood that it was very simple for a weapons expert to raise a lot of money. But for forging weapons, inscriptions from divine imprints were not enough. He still needed to spend a lot of time to get the required materials, etc. In the future, he would naturally not spend most of his time on such tasks.

Even if Francis proposed this with motive, Qin Wentian would still accept. In this world, who would want to help others for free?

"You're a respected weapons expert, but you want me to be your master? Don't you feel that this somehow lowers your status? "QIn Wentian kept asking. After all, he only had a divine imprint to offer in return for Francis' services.

“you should know that adding decorations to something already beautiful is simple, but it is difficult to burn coal during a snowstorm. I, Francis, am still not that simple. Even though you are in trouble now, as long as you endure this, I am worried that I do not even have the qualifications to bring your shoes in the future. At that time, did you still choose to accept me if I wanted you to be my master? Being your student is a respectable position that I really hope for. How will that lower my status? "

“Not only that, I want to personally witness the birth of a genius, I want to see Murin being cruelly trampled under your feet. When you were the one who trampled on him, I wanted to see if he could still maintain his arrogant face. "Anger burns in Francis' eyes. Only by borrowing Qin Wentian's strength could he trample on Murin, filling the hatred in his heart. He decided to risk his future and put all his hopes on Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian looked at Francis before glancing at the horses behind him.

"Is one of the horses ready for me?"

"certain." Francis said as he looked at Qin Wentian with a trace of nervousness in his eyes.

Qin Wentian stepped forward and he mounted a horse. In the same example, the snow-white silhouette moved so quickly, leaving behind the image after, sprinting fast and landing on the back of the horse as well.

"This man, how fast does his speed have." Qin Wentian glanced at the snowy puppy before tightening his legs, running away.

"Master, your honorable self, please wait for me!" Seeing how the scene was happening, Francis could not help but smile surfaced on his face. He jumped in the air, landed on the back of his horse, and ran after Qin Wentian's silhouette. After he caught up, Francis smiled nervously as he timidly added, "Master, sir, do you think it might be possible to reward this apprentice some token of appreciation for formally entering the apprentice with your esteemed self? Any ordinary tier 2 or 3 divine imprint would be done. How about that. "

Upon seeing the unfortunate smile on Francis' face, Qin Wentian rolled his eyes as he scolded, "Get lost to me, your father."

After laughing, Qin Wentian dug a spurs, causing his horse to increase its speed. He continued to run forward, preparing to rush through the night straight to the Royal Capital.

"Haha, Murin, you son of a bitch, just wait." Francis laughed out loud as he also increased his speed. After a short moment, the two of them had left Sky Harmony City, running on the main path under the beautiful starlight, removing clumps of earth and dust.

Qin Wentian turned his head and looked at the imposing city wall. A stern steel expression flashed in his eyes.

This was the first time he had embarked on a long journey, Amidst the billowing winds, burying past events under the globs flying on the earth and gazing into the horizon, he added, “This cultivation-oriented world, filled with kindness, retaliation, emotions and hostility, better be prepared for my arrival. I'm coming!"
