  Numerous areas outside the devil gate were stirring with spatial fluctuations. At this instant, the gazes of every expert were turned to there, as they held their breaths.

  "Qin Wentian!" One of those figures were extremely inconspicuous. When they glanced over, all those experts who appeared were actually all from the Evergreen Alliance. The eyes of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and his allies flashed before they started laughing. Today, was the last day before the deadline of the grace period of three months ended. Just when they believed that it was possible for both sides to not appear, Qin Wentian actually led so many experts of his alliance to exit. This means that there was only one possibility, Qin Wentian and his group has been guarding the entrance leading back out to the immortal realms, not allowing Huang Shatian’s group to step out. Another possibility was that Huang Shatian’s group had been entirely massacred. But that probability was extremely small.

  All the immortal emperors were intelligent people, they instantly thought of this possibility. However, the people from the Skymist Immortal Emperor’s alliance weren’t willing to believe so. Their expressions kept changing, especially for those experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. Their faces were etched with disbelief. All of them knew how powerful Huang Shatian was, and in addition to that supreme divine treasure he was bestowed with, who else could obstruct him?

  In addition, the number of experts their side sent in was higher. Why would Qin Wentian and his group dare to guard the entrance, depriving access to Huang Shatian and his group?

  Unless Qin Wentian had successfully managed to borrow external aid. But since this is something Qin Wentian could do, there was no reason for Huang Shatian to not be able to do so as well.

  Very swiftly, everyone from Qin Wentian’s alliance appeared as they walked towards the Evergreen Empire’s side. All of them seemed to be in glowing spirits as victorious smiles appeared on their faces. This further reinforced the thinking everyone had. The adjudication battle had already concluded.

  "Qin Wentian, how are things?" The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord couldn’t help but to laugh. He was in a pretty good mood when he saw Qin Wentian’s appearance.

  "We should have already won." Qin Wentian smiled.

  "Haha, excellent." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord laughed. The eyes of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor flickered with a smile as he spoke, "Thank you for your efforts."

  Qing`er beside him directly sped over as a sweet smile appeared on her face. She stretched her hands out and held onto Qin Wentian’s. Despite the silence, her smile had actually already indicated the emotions in her heart.

  "Qing`er, we won." Qin Wentian moved one of his hands and gently stroked Qing`er’s hair.

  "Mhm." Qing`er lightly nodded. Just like how she was in the past, she was a woman of few words.

  "There’s still one more day of time. Things have not concluded yet." The expressions of the Skymist Immortal Empire were extremely unsightly. This adjudication battle was started by his empire. Although many powers participated, the main lead was both his empire and the Evergreen Immortal Empire who were located in the Eastern Region. In this era with no ancient emperors and they were the ones who pushed so hard for the battle, wouldn’t they become a joke in the eyes of everyone if their side lost?

  Qin Wentian turned his eyes to the Skymist Immortal Empire as a mocking smile appeared within. "It’s true there’s still one more day worth of time but I’m afraid senior will be disappointed. Not one person of their group will be able to come out on time."

  "What do you mean by that?" The Skymist Immortal Empire coldly spoke.

  "Nothing much, just speaking the truth." Qin Wentian replied. After that, he lifted his foot and entered deeper into the area of the Evergreen Alliance.

  Because this was the last day of the grace period, Matriarch Ji, Nanfeng Guhong, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord and other experts were already here. They only saw Qin Wentian bowing to them, "Thank you for the help from all seniors. There are some members from our alliance who died within during the ten years, Wentian is extremely sorry and would like to apologize to all the seniors."

  "This can be considered a tempering exercise, and in ordinary cases, many geniuses of our immortal realms would lose their lives while tempering themselves in the Myriad Devil Islands. This cannot be blamed on you. In addition after you all gathered together, no one else died. In fact, you even defeated Huang Shatian. If you didn’t do so, the adjudication battle would still have some suspense. You’ve already done a great job." Mo Ziyan who was at the side spoke. Everyone nodded in agreement. In truth, this adjudication battle was a battle between Huang Shatian and Qin Wentian.

  The two of them had the power to decide the victor, while the others had a tempering exercise on the Myriad Devil islands.

  "He defeated Shatian?" An immortal emperor from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire coldly spoke. "Stop bragging, how could Shatian be defeated by him?"

  "At the foot of the Devil Mountain, everyone had seen the result of their battle. Huang Shatian was defeated and if it wasn’t for some seniors of the devil mountain interfering, Huang Shatian would have already died there and then." Nanfeng Ruoxuan spoke mockingly, causing a great burst of might to gush forth from that immortal emperor of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire.

  "You can’t afford to lose?" The Evergreen Immortal Emperor shot a glance over as he coldly spoke.

  "The adjudication battle hasn’t concluded yet. I’ll wait one more day." Although things were already very clear, they had been waiting for ten years and all of them thought that there was virtually no chance for them to be defeated. Hence, they were unable to accept the fact so suddenly. This was why since there was still a strand of hope remaining, they would still prefer to hold on to it.

  "Senior brother!" Jun Mengchen flew over with a smile. "You finally defeated that fellow Huang Shatian. He had already disliked you since the sacred academy and kept thinking that he was invincible in the world. I really wished to see how he looked like at the moment of his defeat."

  Jun Mengchen’s words caused the eyes of experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire to turn cold but he didn’t bother to care too much. They continued snorting, "These people have always been too full of themselves as though they have already won the adjudication battle. I wonder what they are thinking about now."

  "Let’s hope they are not thinking of ways to refute this, trying to find other excuses." Qin Wentian sarcastically commented. The adjudication battle might have been won by his side but he didn’t believe that the other party would give up so easily.

  This time around there were too many peak powers involved, causing such an intense commotion. If he wanted the enemy side to retreat just like that, many of those immortal emperors would surely be feeling extremely unwilling in their hearts.

  However, no matter what will happen in the future, with the victory of this adjudication battle, their side already possessed a great advantage. If the other side wasn’t satisfied, Emperor Yu would then be able to join in officially in an open and above board manner.

  Numerous bursts of baleful qi gushed over from the white tigers. Qin Wentian was undoubtedly the person they hated the most, daring to feast on the flesh of their tribe members when in the sacred academy. The white tigers wanted nothing more than to swallow him whole.

  This last day felt extremely long to the people of the Skymist Alliance. But eventually, they were still disappointed. After one day passed, Huang Shatian and his group have yet to exit.

  This meant that the adjudication battle was officially concluded.

  The Skymist Immortal Emperor, Violet Emperor and Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor all deeply glanced at Qin Wentian. This little fellow who was nothing but an ant and could be smacked to death back then, was now already at the peak of immortal-foundation realm. Although he was still pitifully weak in comparison to them, he was strong enough to affect the adjudication battle in the eastern part of the immortal realms.

  The killing intent in the eyes of both the Violet and Eastern Sage Immortal Emperors grew more intense.

  Seems like they can’t allow this young man to live on any longer. He would definitely become a source of trouble for them if they allowed him to mature.

  The people from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire were the ones who were the most unwilling to accept this outcome. They actually lost despite Huang Shatian participating. Huang Shatian was someone who obtained their founding emperor’s inheritance and everyone in the empire had high hopes for him. In addition, he was a peak genius from the sacred academy and the empire initially hoped that Huang Shatian would become the hegemon of this generation, not only in their empire, but in the boundlessly vast immortal realms, becoming an ancient emperor character.

  The loss of the adjudication battle doesn’t mean anything but from a certain perspective, it meant that Huang Shatian lost to Qin Wentian. For experts who could reach the peak, they were able to use all methods and eliminate their opponents as they ascended. From this defeat, it could be said that Huang Shatian wasn’t the main character of this era. It should be Qin Wentian instead.

  The experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire all glanced at Qin Wentian, their eyes flashing with killing intent. Once a person died, he was destined to never become the main character of an era.

  Qin Wentian frowned. At this instant, he could sense numerous unmasked malicious gazes levied on him.

  A cold intent appeared in his heart. He was just a tiny character with an immortal-foundation cultivation base yet he actually induced killing intent in the hearts of all these immortal emperors. He didn’t know if he should be proud or depressed.

  At this moment, bright light flashed as Emperor Yu suddenly appeared. He laughed, "The deadline for the adjudication battle is up. The Evergreen Alliance is victorious and hence, the result for the false adjudication battle earlier is hereby abolished."

  Not only did they win this battle, they had a perfect victory where not a single junior from the Skymist Alliance had exited. Such a result was truly a mockery to the Skymist Immortal Empire.

  In this battle, other than the peak powers of the Eastern Regions, many other emperor-ranked powers were involved as well. Was this storm going to end just like that?

  Reluctance was plain in the eyes of those immortal emperors.

  "Brother Skymist, the results might have disappointed you a little." The Evergreen Immortal Emperor spoke, with intentional mockery.

  "Even if my side lost the adjudication battle, do you, Evergreen, really intend to destroy the immortal agreement between our empires just like that?" The Skymist Immortal Emperor coldly spoke.

  "You actually still have the face to bring up that dogshit agreement? Ridiculous to the extreme." The Evergreen Immortal Emperor was extremely unhappy, resulting him in using coarse language. He then icily spoke, "The result of the adjudication battle is clear. I believe the Skymist Immortal Empire will stop their nonsense and stop harassing my empire?"

  "Now, I, Evergreen, shall formally announce that I will betroth my beloved daughter Qing`er to Qin Wentian." The Evergreen Immortal Emperor solemnly stated. Words from an emperor were like a great mountain, unshakable, and undeniable. This undoubtedly caused the Skymist Immortal Emperor to stop all thoughts of getting Qing`er to marry into his empire.

  After the victor was decided, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor instantly announced this wedding betrothal. Could it be that the Skymist Immortal Emperor would break his promise in front of all these peak powers?

  And as expected, the face of the Skymist Immortal Emperor turned black. The Southern Phoenix clan and Matriarch Ji, as well as the other immortal emperors all, turned to stare at the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. Seems like Evergreen believed in Qin Wentian very much. This definitely wasn’t something he said in a moment of impulse.

  Qin Wentian held hands with Qing`er, the two of them sharing a smile as their bodies moved closer together. Right now, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor has already announced this to the world. There was nothing else which could obstruct them from being together!
