C101 Entrustment
The storm had been going on all along, and it was getting stronger and stronger. What shocked many people was that the top powers that had always been calm in the past were all active in this storm, like the Wang Family, Xie Family and Mu Family. They actually joined hands to fight against Sikong Family.
As if they had agreed on this beforehand, the three great families stood up to protect Qin Xuan in this life or death situation.
However, everyone understood in their hearts that they were not attacking for Qin Xuan, but was actually attacking the Sikong Family. Protecting Qin Xuan, was just a stunt.
The existence of the Sikong Family was already unreasonable. No other force could compete with it. It had a deep background, had the best resources and status, and even plundered resources from other families many times.
After a long period of time, the Sikong Family would definitely become the true ruler of the Heavenly Star City, and their position would be further consolidated. It was obvious that some of the families could not sit still anymore and took this opportunity to make preparations.
...
In the vast and boundless sky, a fiery red figure flew swiftly. Her speed was extremely fast and she possessed a pair of extremely gorgeous flame double wing.
On top of her wings, a white-robed figure was lying quietly. His eyes were tightly shut, and his handsome face exuded an extraordinary aura, appearing extremely serene and indifferent. However, his current aura was extremely weak, and his complexion was slightly flushed red.
Suddenly, the fiery figure came to a stop, transforming into the appearance of a beautiful girl. The white-clothed figure was still being carried by her, causing her to pant slightly with a pale face.
The girl was naturally Huo Er, and the white clothed figure on her back was shockingly the heavily injured Qin Xuan.
At this time, a spatial ripple suddenly occurred a few hundred meters in front of Huo Er.
A few seconds later, a middle-aged woman dressed in palace attire slowly walked out from the void. She was calm and collected, and just like that, she appeared in front of Huo Er.
She looked to be around forty years old, but she appeared to be extremely dignified and elegant. There seemed to be an innate noble aura around her, and time did not leave any traces on her face.
Between her eyebrows, there was also a flame totem. It was shaped like a phoenix, and was extremely similar to the one on the girl's forehead.
"You're finally here." Huo Er raised her head and looked at palace-clothed woman in the distance. She seemed to have already known that she would be here and her tone was cold.
She directly jumped across the space and landed beside Huo Er. She stared at Huo Er and spoke with a helpless tone: "Ninth Princess, what do you want to do in the end for you to be willing to return to the clan?"
"Promise me one thing and I'll go back with you." Huo Er's delicate little face currently carried an unprecedented seriousness, and her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of determination, as if she was talking about an extremely important matter.
"Hmm?" palace-clothed woman's expression congealed, and she could not help but feel a sense of joy in her heart. Obviously, she did not expect that the female Huo Er, who had always been extremely against this clan, would actually let her guard down at this moment.
Without any hesitation, she said, "No problem. No matter what condition it is, I will agree to it!"
Huo Er pursed her red lips, a look of struggle suddenly flashed across her beautiful face, but she quickly hid it. She looked at Qin Xuan, who was behind her, and said: "I want you to take care of this person, and heal all the injuries on his body. No matter what conditions he puts forward, you must fulfill them.
"That's it?" She had thought that it would be extremely difficult to fulfill some of the conditions, but she never expected that it would only be these, it was simply too easy for her.
Huo Er's expression suddenly became serious. A cold light flashed through her beautiful eyes and she said in a low voice, "You must do what you say. If I find out that you didn't do as I say, I will make you regret it."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely accomplish it. However, just who is this person and what right does he have to cause you so much concern?" palace-clothed woman looked at Huo Er and asked casually.
"You don't need to care about this matter. Just do your job properly." Huo Er's expression turned cold, as if she had thought of something, and said: "Don't reveal that I saved him, and before he grows up, don't let him go take revenge."
When palace-clothed woman heard this, his eyes couldn't help but flicker with a strange light. He became even more curious about Qin Xuan, because she wanted to see what kind of person this youth, whom Ninth Princess would not hesitate to return to his clan, was.
"Don't worry, I will bring him to cultivate. I will absolutely not let him appear in the Tianyu Country until he has sufficient strength." palace-clothed woman promised Huo Er.
"If you're done, I'll go back." Huo Er lightly nodded his head and said softly.
Although she promised to return, palace-clothed woman could still hear the helplessness in Huo Er's tone, and even unwillingness. It seems that she still despised the princess' identity, and would have refused to return if not for this youth.
The palace lady stared at Huo Er and spoke with a solemn expression: "Ninth Princess, you were born with a noble status and background that is difficult for ordinary people to attain. But at the same time, you also have to shoulder a lot more responsibilities than ordinary people, this point, I hope you understand."
A cold look flashed past Huo Er's eyes, then he spat out a voice: "If I could have chosen, I would rather not have this identity."
"Ninth Princess you …" palace-clothed woman's expression froze. She obviously did not expect Huo Er to have such a thought, but luckily she had already promised to return to her clan. She believed that she would change her mind when she returned.
"Take him away now." Huo Er took a deep breath and said indifferently.
"Three days later, I will send someone to send you back to your clan." The palace maid raised her jade hand and waved it lightly in the air. A crack line appeared in the space in front of them and expanded rapidly, then a ray of light enveloped Qin Xuan's body and disappeared from the world.
After personally watching the two of them disappear from his sight, Huo Er's expression immediately became lifeless. She unwittingly crouched down and started to cry loudly.
It was as if she was no longer a princess of the Divine Phoenix Clan, but a little girl who was about to leave her family. This feeling was so helpless that it could not be described with words, as if she was suffocating.
"Elder Brother Xuan." Huo Er's eyes were filled with tears as a hint of pain flashed across her eyes. From today onwards, she would be leaving the Elder Brother Xuan and it was unknown when they would meet again.
The sound of his sorrowful weeping reverberated unceasingly in this space, revealing endless sorrow and pain, lingering on for a long time.
After a long while, the fiery-red figure stood up once again. She slowly raised her head and stared at the boundless skies, as though she could see the beautiful painting in the distance.
"Elder Brother Xuan, I believe that one day, you will become the brightest star in the vast sky. No one will be able to cover up your radiance, and at that time, you must come and pick me up!"
A soft mumble slowly sounded out between heaven and earth, and in these words, boundless trust and anticipation was entrusted. Even though it sounded extremely preposterous, Huo Er still firmly believed in it.
Within the Tianyu Country's Imperial Palace, Royal College and Cloud Sky Sect had finally come to a stop after experiencing a great battle.
At this moment, Jiang Kun's expression was extremely ugly. It was extremely cold, so cold that he could even squeeze out water.
Previously, there were clearly a few great power s who expressed that they wanted to kill Qin Xuan, but the sounds of thunder and rain became a little softer.
As for the other forces, they had already shown their faces in front of the emperor. Not only did they please Duan Wutian, they did not cause any loss to their own forces.
However, he couldn't say anything. After all, the Sikong Family was restrained by the top three families, while the Ou Family was stopped by the Yue Family.
As for the other clans, even if they were willing to help, once Ouyang Tian said those harsh words, they would not dare to act rashly.
What a joke, to risk being ostracized by the Association of Pharmacists to show his loyalty to Duan Wutian. Only idiots would do such a thing.
Forget about Duan Wutian, even if he was really worried about them, the influence of the Association of Pharmacists was definitely more important than his trust.
Meanwhile, old man Yunshan and the other elders of the Cloud Sky Sect were beaming with happiness. After some effort, they finally managed to protect Qin Xuan's life.
They firmly believed that with the terrifying innate skills that Qin Xuan had displayed, it wouldn't be long before he would grow to a terrifying level. At that point, revenge wouldn't be an easy task.
The entire process of the great battle was extremely strange, and many people could see that Duan Wutian seemed to be trying to contain Qin Xuan. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the divine dragon Guards to not be able to catch Qin Xuan, but what was his goal?
He personally saw Duan Ruoxi offering a sacrifice for Qin Xuan, yet he did not have any killing intent towards Qin Xuan, the meaning behind this was sufficient to cause everyone to ponder deeply.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed across Jiang Kun's eyes as he said to Duan Wutian: "Lord Emperor, all the elders and disciples of the Cloud Sky Sect have openly defied the orders and looked down on the Emperor's might. I beg the Lord Emperor to punish them!"
It seemed like Jiang Kun already understood that Qin Xuan would not be able to be caught and brought back, so he took the chance to attack Cloud Sky Sect to weaken his strength.
However, Duan Wutian's face was solemn and his eyes deep, causing people to not be able to see what he was thinking.
Suddenly, he looked in the direction of the old man Yunshan, and revealed an imposing manner, then said slowly: "The Cloud Sky Sect does not have the ability to teach the disciples, disciple Qin Xuan is undisciplined, and this is the first crime; the elders openly resisting the emperor's orders, this is the second; Yun Shan took the initiative to erupt into battle, and disregarded the dignity of the imperial family, this is the third crime."
"Since Cloud Sky Sect bears many sins and is punished for three crimes, from today onwards, the name of the Four Great sect s will be removed and no one is allowed to enroll in the academy within three years. Can Cloud Sky Sect plead guilty to such a crime?" Duan Wutian looked at old man Yunshan with his dragon eyes, releasing a powerful pressure.
old man Yunshan was taken aback at first, but quickly recovered from his shock. He became ecstatic and quickly replied: "Yun Shan pleads guilty on behalf of Cloud Sky Sect!"
And at this moment, the countenances of the crowd were filled with excitement, they had never imagined that the punishment would be like this.
Although this punishment looked extremely severe, they all understood in their hearts that it did not have any effect on the Cloud Sky Sect at all. The Four Great sect s were merely infamous, and even though the name of the Four Great sect s had been removed, its heritage was still there, and its name still existed.
As for not being allowed to recruit students within three years, that was even less of an issue. Cloud Sky Sect's disciples were originally very few in number, and the exam was extremely harsh to the extreme, to the point where they could not accept many disciples within three years.
Jiang Kun clearly understood that this punishment was meaningless. His face was ashen, and the way he looked at old man Yunshan was as if flames were about to shoot out of his mouth.
