Chapter 1204: How many tears can one shed in a lifetime?

Panda Novel

"BOOM!" As the sound rang out, Nie Yunchang's body slammed into Qing`er. The terrifying impact caused both of them to be flung through the air together.

Huang Youdi's body fell through the air. The faces of the three experts all drastically changed. They managed to catch hold of Huang Youdi's body but at this moment, their hearts all tightly clenched.

She actually killed him. She truly dared to kill Huang Youdi, a prince of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, disregarding all consequences and sparing nothing.

At this moment, Huang Youdi, who proclaimed to be a match for everyone under the heavens, died in the sacred academy.

The arrogant him most probably would never ever have imagined that he would die in the hands of Qing`er.

Once, how brazen was he? He peered at Jun Mengchen in disdain and even wanted to force him to say that Qing`er was the woman of his royal brother. There was no need for anyone to question his orders, and in fact, there was even no need for him to know who Qing`er was.

But at the moment of his death, he finally knew that the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor was the one who could take his life. A moment prior to his death, he regretted all his arrogance and his impulsive actions. Those were the reasons why he would die here in the academy today.

Huang Wudi's battle with Mo Ziyan halted. Their bodies sped away in seperate directions. Huang Wudi arrived before Huang Youdi, while Mo Ziyan flew towards Nie Yunchang.

Huang Wudi hugged the body of his younger brother as a trace of sadness could be seen in his eyes. Although he wasn't really fond of this younger brother of his, who was always treating him with disrespect and was incomparably arrogant and only had Huang Shatian as a elder brother in his eyes, they were still brothers related by blood after all, sharing the same father and different mother.

Hence, they had the names Youdi and Wudi.

Huang Youdi had always placed himself high up in the air and believed that he would surpass his elder brother Huang Wudi sooner or later. Hence, he had never once held Huang Wudi in high regards, choosing to admire the other elder brother of his who had a higher talent compared to him, Huang Shatian. But even so, what did that matter? Huang Youdi was still his younger brother, blood was thicker than water! But today, Huang Youdi has actually died.

The daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor actually truly dared to kill.

Nie Yunchang didn't die yet, she still had a breath of life remaining. Her immortal-foundation was shattered as her vitality and life force was diminishing continuously. Her aura fluctuated wildly but right now, there was a true smile in her eyes as she stared at Qing`er and Mo Ziyan.

"I made my choice." Nie Yunchang smiled in a bitter manner. After listening to the words spoken by Mo Ziyan, an intense doubt surfaced in her heart, she started to doubt herself but she still felt some hatred in her heart. It was only when she saw Qing`er sparing no expense to kill Huang Youdi, all for the sake of her despite the three supreme experts at her back, did she finally wake up.

At that instant, Nie Yunchang seemed to have understood something. All the hypocrisy she assumed Qing`er was, was merely something she had imagined. Even if she truly stabbed a sword into Qing`er's heart, Qing`er would never have hated her as well. If that was the case, all that she had done, what did it count for?

"Since you have already chosen this path, why would you still want to turn back?" Mo Ziyan spoke with sorrow in her heart.

"After all, I'm still a disciple of master. If her eminent self was to expel me from the sect, I wouldn't be willing to accept this even if I died." Nie Yunchang stared at the sky, it was like she could see the kind face of Matriarch Ji looking down at her. There was now a sincere and radiant smile in her eyes as she stared at Qing`er. She had once blazed brightly in her life. Despite it being short-lived, she now had no regrets.

"Senior sister, why?" Qing`er closed her eyes in pain. The pain in her heart was like a thousand daggers stabbing into it.

Nie Yunchang didn't reply, her lifeforce vanished rapidly. Her beautiful eyes were still open but without the energy support of her immortal-foundation, all her interior organs crumbled apart. The remnants of immortal energy circulating within her body was cut off from the source, as she gradually approached death.

The earth trembled more and more intensely. Far away, the figure of a giant appeared. When staring over there from here, the giant seemed to merge as one with the heavens and when she saw that figure, Nie Yunchang murmured, "Your dear lover has come to find you."

After speaking, she slowly closed her eyes as her lifeforce eventually vanished a few moments later.

Huang Wudi inclined his head and stared in the distance. He also saw the giant, and an intense killing intent gleamed in his eyes. He then turned his attention back to Qing`er and the others as he coldly commanded, "Kill them all without mercy."

"BOOM!" A terrifying battle palm imprint blasted over, blotting out the sun. That expert from the Battle Saint Tribe appeared beside Mo Ziyan as he spoke, "Let's go."

Mo Ziyan carried Nie Yunchang's body with her. A fearsome surge of spatial energy enveloped them as they transformed into a beam of light, disappearing from this area in an instant.

The aura from Huang Wudi was terrifying to the extreme. He pursued after frenziedly with lightning speed.

Mo Ziyan and the experts from the Battle Saint Tribe naturally wanted to speed over to the giant. This was something Huang Wudi would never permit. Once they met with Qin Wentian, his group would find it even tougher to kill them.

Those who were proficient in spatial energy would usually have an advantage in terms of speed. This was especially so for a powerful character like Mo Ziyan. Spatial energy fluctuations could be felt around her constantly as they flew further and further. But even now, Huang Wudi and two other powerful experts were still following closely behind them.

The rumbling grew louder as the tremors became more intense. Mo Ziyan and her group closed the distance between them and Qin Wentian unceasingly. After some time, Qin Wentian also discovered their existence and begin to speed over to them as well.

Qin Wentian knew the exact coordinates of where Qing`er and Mo Ziyan were because he had the three monks with mysterious abilities from the Askheart Temple by his side. They used powerful and profound techniques of the buddhist path and led him along in the right direction.

After some time, Huang Wudi and the others eventually decided to give up.

Finally, Qin Wentian and Mo Ziyan's group joined together. When he saw Qing`er, a radiant smile appeared in his eyes. Although Qing`er was a little fatigued, she seemed fine. And as long as she was okay, he would be happy.

However after closer observation, he saw Mo Ziyan, who stood beside Qing`er, was actually carrying the body of Nie Yunchang. His expression then changed, becoming extremely solemn. He walked over to Mo Ziyan and as he stared at the disciples of Matriarch Ji, he didn't know what to say.

"Junior apprentice sister Yunchang died battling our enemies." Mo Ziyan spoke. She didn't mention anything about Nie Yunchang's betrayal. Nie Yunchang was already dead, she didn't want anything to taint her reputation further.

She wouldn't mention that, and naturally, neither would Qing`er.

In fact, even the experts of the Battle Saint Tribe wouldn't say anything. They knew why Nie Yunchang died and they all chose to respect her.

Qin Wentian stared at Nie Yunchang's body. A beautiful woman died because of the war he partially started. Who was in the wrong about this?

"We still need to continue advancing." After some moments, Qin Wentian spoke. "We can't allow any more casualties. I will make sure to settle this debt together once and for all in the future."

Mo Ziyan naturally could understand what the priority was. They still had to gather all those who were fleeing in smaller groups because of the aftermath of the two war factions. There were still several of her fellow sisters who were missing.

In fact, Qin Wentian didn't even have time to catch up with Qing`er. He directly transformed back into a giant and continued leading the way, his steps causing the earth to rumble. They headed further into the depths and as they travelled, more and more people gathered with them. After they reached a point that was extremely deep within the mountain range, they decided to stop and make a return journey.

Time flowed by, several days had passed.

Right now, on top of an ancient mountain, if one stared into the distance from the peak, they would be able to see a boundless territory filled with glaciers. There seemed to be no end to the size of the land within the academy. They decided not to head further into the depths of the mountain range. They had already fled for so far, their enemies probably wouldn't pursue so deep into the mountains to search for them.

"Qing`er seems to be extremely troubled." At this moment, Mo Qingcheng stood beside Qin Wentian, staring at the beautiful figure on the mountain peak who was standing there alone, buffeted by the cold winds.

Qin Wentian had also sensed it. During these few days, Qing`er has always been extremely cold. But because her original natural was like this, Qin Wentian initially didn't feel that there was anything wrong. But later on, he gradually did.

"You should go and talk to her." Mo Qingcheng gently let go of Qin Wentian's hand as she smiled.

"Okay." Qin Wentian nodded his head. His silhouette flickered and appeared on the peak of the ancient mountain, quietly standing beside Qing`er, staring silently at the horizons together with her.

He didn't initiate a conversation. A gust of cold wind blew by, yet the two of them didn't seem to sense it. Their robes fluttered in the wind, Qin Wentian moved closer to Qing`er, wanting to let her feel that he was right beside her.

Qing`er's body leaned gently against Qin Wentian's shoulder, as though she wanted to find a place where she can have a measure of reliance.

Qin Wentian hugged her waist, allowing her head to rest on his shoulder.

"Qing`er, let's sit." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. Qing`er nodded her head lightly. The two of them sat down as Qing`er gently leaned against him. Her delicate frame was trembling intensely and Qin Wentian simply hugged her into his embrace but right now, the state of his heart wasn't as calm as the look on his face.

Qing`er's personality was always aloof and cold, and had never clung to him in a manner like this before. Right now, Qin Wentian could truly feel how fragile her heart was.

"Wentian, were we wrong?" Qing`er asked in a light tone of voice. She laid down, using Qin Wentian's thigh as a pillow as her beautiful eyes peered into the distance.

"In this world, there is never right or wrong. Only strength and weakness matters here. There are some things that we would never be able to control. Many people in the sacred academy are staring at you like how a tiger sees its prey but so many of your fellow apprentice sisters were willing to stand by your side and fight for you. You should feel gratitude and cherish these relationships instead, there's no need to blame yourself for this because this is the depths of their feelings towards you. If they encountered any danger, I believe you would also do the same, standing out for them, regardless of anything. Am I not right?"

Qin Wentian was always extremely sensitive, how could he not know what Qing`er was referring to? Most probably, the death of Nie Yunchang had impacted her a lot.

"But still, they were ultimately dragged into this and implicated by me." Qing`er was still blaming herself. She couldn't forget Nie Yunchang's words, and couldn't forget the radiant smile she had before she died.

Qin Wentian knew that no matter how much he tries to console her, it would all be useless. This originally was a problem that had no solution to it. In truth, he also asked himself the same question. If he could restart life over, would he choose to do things differently, allowing his friends and comrades to avoid the danger? However, he had no idea. Nobody would know the answer.

What he could do was only to allow himself to grow stronger and stronger. Only then would nobody dare to bully the people next to him. If he was not strong enough, he can only maintain enough vigilance.

Qin Wentian lowered his head and looked at Qing`er. He discovered that within her beautiful eyes, there were actually crystal-like tears. The her who was always so strong, was now in his embrace, doing nothing to mask her fragileness.

"Qing`er, sometimes tears can be used to heal injuries to the soul and heart as well." Qin Wentian gently spoke, hugging Qing`er tighter. Her tears continued flowing down, her posture shifted a little and she directly sank into his embrace, tightly hugging him back. Maybe, only before the man she loved most, would she be able to put down all the psychological walls she erected, showing herself in her most emotional state.

Qin Wentian cradled her. His heart was hurting so much that it seemed about to melt as well. He stared out at the horizons at the glaciers of this space. Despite the beauty of the scenery, how can that be compared to the beauty of Qing`er's tears? Qing`er's tears contained all her exquisite feelings within!
