Chapter 1201: Intense Vengeance

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

In the past, the vast majority of students in this particular academy were all demons or those who cultivated demon techniques. But after the four sacred academies joined together, several human cultivators also came here to cultivate, roaming around the four academies. This particular academy also had many secret realms that would enable the cultivators to promote their strength.

When the experts here saw Qin Wentian, all of their hearts trembled. This fellow had finally returned. However, would he be able to deal with experts on the same tier as Huang Wudi?

They all knew that Huang Wudi and Huang Youdi were both in this academy right now.

In addition, they had arrived at a later time. As for their true purpose in being here, nobody was clear of it.

Most probably, Qin Wentian's woman Qing`er, the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, as well as the disciple of Matriarch ji, had fled to this place. Undoubtedly, the person they wanted to capture most was Qin Wentian's woman.

This was especially so for Huang Youdi whose hatred for him had seeped deep into his bones, as well as for White-eye from the White Tiger Race. Hence, they had chased Qing`er all the way to this academy and were probing for any trace of her whereabouts.

"Qin Wentian has already shown up in this place, but no one can confirm Qing`er's current situation. If Huang Youdi and White-eye had captured her alive, then given their personalities, nobody would even dare to imagine the things they would do to her to infuriate Qin Wentian." Everyone mused silently. It would seem that a gigantic storm of commotion would soon happen in this academy.

Indeed, Qing`er was currently there. Back then, she, her senior sister, and the experts of the Battle Saint Tribe had been together. But because their enemies had caught up to them in hot pursuit, her senior sister and the experts of the Battle Saint Tribe told her to flee while they blocked the attackers. Because of that, her enemies spread the word to their alliance that she was still in the vicinity, escalating the fervency of their hunt for her. These past few days, she spent all her time fleeing from one place to another.

In the depths of the academy, she suddenly felt a faint spatial fluctuation. After that, she sped over and saw that something had been engraved on a rock. Stretching her hand out, Qing`er placed her palm over the engraving and an instant later, an image of a finger materialized and pointed to a certain direction, causing joy to appear in her beautiful eyes.

"It's an imprint left behind by my senior sister." Qing`er silently mused, as a bright light flickered in her eyes. Although she was still beautiful, her features were now marred with fatigue. Clearly, the past few days hadn't been easy on her.

However, after seeing the unique imprint left behind by one of her senior apprentice sisters, her expression grew much more relaxed.

Her body flashed—Qing`er had kept an eye out for these imprints as she fled. Only disciples of Matriarch Ji would have this secret imprint and only they would know how to read it. There was no need to worry that a third party had faked it.

And as expected, after some hours, she saw a beautiful maiden standing within some mountains. This maiden exuded nobility and elegance, had a tall figure, and radiated gorgeousness. She had a prominent background and was also a disciple of of the prestigious Matriarch Ji. It was just that right now in the academy, they had encountered an unprecedented calamity of sorts.

"Senior Nie!" Qing`er sped over, stopping to face this maiden. This senior sister of hers was named Nie Yunchang, who was outstandingly talented, and had always taken good care of her. The fellow disciples under Matriarch Ji always liked to compare the two of them.

"Junior Sister, are you okay?" Nie Yunchang asked.

"I'm fine." Qing`er nodded. When speaking to her fellow disciples, her ice-like demeanor somewhat lessened, and she even exuded a feeling of warmth.

"Fine then." Nie Yunchang nodded. After that, she turned to look at the horizon. "I wonder how our other fellow sisters are doing?"

"They should be fine as well," Qing`er mumbled, similarly staring into the sky. Although she said it like that, she was very worried in her heart. That senior sister who had blocked the attack for her back then, was she okay? Qing`er found it very difficult to feel at ease in her heart.

Nie Yunchang's mouth curled into a slight mocking smile but Qing`er didn't notice it. She turned her head and said, "Senior Sister, this place is too conspicuous. Let's change our location."

"Okay, Qing`er, you lead the way then." Nie Yunchang smiled as she nodded.

Qing`er acquiesced. After that, her aura gushed forth as she stepped forward. Nie Yunchang followed after, radiating spatial energy fluctuations. These spatial energy fluctuations somehow seemed excessively powerful.

Qing`er felt a little puzzled. She turned her head and asked, "Senior Sister…?"

Even before the sound of her voice faded, she only felt as if she was staring at a stranger's face looking back at her. That face had no trace of a smile, and was devoid of the warmth and gentleness of the past. Right now, only boundless coldness and anger could be seen, as if Qing`er was the murderer of Nie Yunchang's father. When Qing`er saw such a look on the face of her senior sister, she couldn't help but freeze as her heart pounded violently. She had no way to believe what she was seeing. Why was there so much venomous hatred in the eyes of her senior sister?

Was this truly the senior sister she respected?

"Chi…" Without a moment's hesitation, Nie Yunchang's palm gathered immense spatial energy and slammed it out towards Qing`er. Only now did Qing`er understand that her senior sister had prepared those spatial fluctuations in advance to attack her.

This move was too sudden, Qing`er couldn't react at all. How could she possibly show any wariness towards Nie Yunchang? She'd never once imagined that her senior sister would ruthlessly attack her.

Even now, her face was still filled with puzzlement. She didn't understand, she truly couldn't understand.

She knew that her senior sister had never once fully opened up to her, but she initially thought that it was something normal, and the barrier between them would eventually wear down through her sincerity and the passing of time.

"Senior Sister...why?" Qing`er called out. Even now, she still referred to Nie Yunchang as her senior sister. She didn't understand why she would do this.

"Why?" Venomous hatred could be seen flickering in Nie Yunchang's eyes. She suddenly began laughing uproariously, the sound of her voice echoing throughout the area. Her warm smile had now been replaced by boundless coldness, and her beautiful face was contorted in hatred.

"I'm from an emperor-ranked power, my ancestor is an immortal emperor. He may not be as powerful as your father, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, a sovereign of an entire immortal empire, but he is still an immortal-emperor ranked expert. My status is extraordinary and I have outstanding talent. I was known as the pride of the heavens ever since I was young, I've always basked in boundless glory. My growth was seen as legendary in my clan and after that, I received Master's tutelage, further increasing my position in my clan. I was like the moon surrounded by stars, a princess that everyone looked up to. Even my ancestor would guide me personally."

Nie Yunchang said coldly. Everyone who stepped inside the sacred academy were naturally considered as legends in their clans. They were all supreme heaven's chosen from the perspective of the entire immortal realms—they were dragons and phoenixes among humans. Nie Yunchang was no exception.

"I didn't disappoint my clan. Even under Master's tutelage, I have always been dazzling, and all the fellow apprentice sisters were fond of me. The time that Master spent to guide me also exceeded our fellow disciples. Every single thing only proved that I was born extraordinary—my life was destined for a path of greatness."

Nie Yunchang continued while Qing`er listened quietly. Despite the spatial energy blasting into her and ravaging the interior of her body, causing her defenses to weaken, she still wanted to know why her senior sister would do this?

Was this because of jealousy?

"But all of that changed when you appeared. You are an innate immortal king, the path of your cultivation would have no barriers until you reached the immortal king realm. For most people, that would be the end point, but it is merely your starting point. You were born with an innate talent in spatial energy, and you are also a princess of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, the daughter whom the Evergreen Immortal Emperor dotes on the most. Countless geniuses want to pursue you and after you entered the sect, all the apprentice sisters took extremely good care of you. You even won the favor of our master, far surpassing me."

Nie Yunchang continued speaking. Qing`er naturally knew all this. She was extremely sensitive and knew that Nie Yunchang was a little unhappy regarding these issues. However, their relationship had still seemed affectionate. Nie Yunchang would normally take good care of her as well, and she believed that the barrier between them would be dissolved sooner or later. In addition, from her understanding of Nie Yunchang, even if she was jealous, there was no way she would act like this.

"Naturally, I can understand all of this. Given how vast the immortal realms are, there will always be someone more dazzling than you. And among our fellow disciples, there are also those more talented than me, yet they still showered me with love and care. Your existence wouldn't affect my beautiful future, but everything that I have or should have had was all destroyed in this sacred academy, all of it destroyed by you…!" Nie Yunchang roared, her cold eyes filled with the desire to slice Qing`er into ten thousand pieces.

"Because of Huang Shatian, many people targeted you. All of our fellow sisters protected you out of concern for you. But how could you drag everyone into the battlefield? Our fellow sisters weren't acquainted with your lover Qin Wentian, they had no connections with the Southern Phoenix Clan. They all led their own lives, yet because of you, many of our fellow sisters are now dead."

Qing`er stared at Nie Yunchang, feeling sorrow in her heart. How could she not be sad? Her heart strings were ripped apart. It was true, the reason for the battle between them, the Southern Phoenix Clan, Qin Wentian, the White Tiger Race, and the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, was all because of her. She had been the trigger for all of this.

The people from the Southern Phoenix Clan, Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, and even the Askheart Temple—they naturally weren't acquainted with her. But all of them had shown no hesitation as they willingly stood by Qin Wentian to join the combat. Qing`er had already considered them as friends who would die for each other.

"Ridiculous. But you actually had no harm befall you? HOW CAN YOU BE FINE?!" Nie Yunchang started laughing maniacally. "Don't you know that after I was captured, those people stripped away my armor of pride. Do you know what humiliation I had to suffer in their hands? I lost everything. My life was destroyed just like that. Destroyed all because of you!"

Qing`er heart was gripped in agony as she stared at Nie Yunchang, hating herself entirely. In fact, she even felt traces of guilt as tears appeared in her eyes. "Senior Sister, I'm sorry…"

"Sorry?" Nie Yunfeng laughed as an extremely cold smile appeared on her face. "Is saying sorry to me useful? Can it reverse the things that have happened? Despite that ordeal I faced, I still chose to continue living on. At this moment, I hate them all, and I want nothing more than to tear them into a thousand pieces. However, I hate you as well. And so, I promised to deliver you to them. This is why they eventually released me!"
