Chapter 619, Will He Return?

Translator: Silavin

 

“Friend, this commander is from the Standing Principles Grand Empire. I advise you not to interfere in our affairs, otherwise, you might lose your life without even knowing it.”

 

The middle-aged commander looked at Qin Yichen with a somewhat gloomy expression and slowly spoke.

 

With Qin Yichen’s strength, they naturally could not sense the latter’s cultivation realm. However, the strange way his blade aura had dissipated earlier made it clear to him that he was definitely not weak!

 

This was precisely why he felt a measure of wariness in his heart. Rather than immediately attacking, he brought up his own backing, hoping the other party would show some form of apprehension to go against him.

 

Qin Yichen completely ignored this and instead smiled at Ye Liangchen and Shi Jingmu. The scene of the two facing life and death together earlier had been witnessed by him. He was impressed by this Sister-in-law, and her stalwart appearance.

 

Afterwards, Qin Yichen turned around, his gaze sweeping towards the middle-aged commander. His towering, motionless figure expressed his attitude.

 

“*Hmph!* So, it’s just a brat who hasn’t even grown all his hair yet. Since you insist on interfering, then blame your bad luck!”

 

When Qin Yichen turned around, the middle-aged commander finally saw the latter’s young face. Immediately, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and he called out to those behind him. “Attack! Capture him!”

 

“Kill!” The soldiers behind him received their orders and immediately charged at Qin Yichen like wolves and tigers, as if fearing they would fall behind and miss out on the merit.

 

“Courting death!” A flash of coldness passed through Qin Yichen’s eyes. With his cold snort, a tremendous aura spread out from his body. The group of soldiers were immediately sent flying in all directions, falling everywhere, unable to get up.

 

“This… A Martial King!?” The middle-aged commander’s eyes were filled with shock.

 

Clearly, he had never expected that a young man would possess cultivation that made him look up in awe.

 

Martial Kings were all regional overlords within every Grand Empire!

 

Shi Jingmu had been somewhat worried originally, but after seeing this scene, she finally relaxed.

 

“Hehe, you dare bully me? My Big Brother’s here now! He’ll teach you dogs a lesson!” Ye Liangchen was gloating instead.

 

Watching Qin Yichen approach him step by step, sweat covered his forehead, and he didn’t even have the desire to flee.

 

“I ask, you answer!” Stopping two metres in front of him, Qin Yichen’s bland voice emerged from his mouth. “If there’s a single false word from your lips, death!”

 

That final word ‘death’ was infused with Spiritual Energy, causing the middle-aged commander’s body to tremble, his pupils revealing a look of terror.

 

Obviously, being only in the Spirit Realm, he had already collapsed under Qin Yichen’s Spiritual Energy pressure.

 

“Why did you invade the Great Prosperity Grand Empire?”

 

“For the Compound Pill Formula.”

 

Although he had already known the reason, Qin Yichen still could not help but clench his fist.

 

He had still overlooked this point when trying to get onside with the Feng Family.

 

“Besides your Standing Principles Grand Empire, which other Grand Empires are there?”

 

“Led by the Southern River Grand Empire, there are seven Grand Empires: the Relaxing Summer Grand Empire, United Yellow Grand Empire, Standing Principles Grand Empire, and more.”

 

From this commander’s mouth, Qin Yichen extracted some information, while his brow furrowed even deeper.

 

The situation was far more severe than he had imagined.

 

Seven Grand Empires attacking simultaneously. If it had been the former Great Prosperity Grand Empire, it would probably have already fallen.

 

*Bang!* Qin Yichen struck the middle-aged commander with a palm, then without even glancing at him, turned and said to Ye Liangchen and Shi Jingmu, “Come, let’s return to Twilight City!”

 

With the allied forces of seven Grand Empires, the Great Prosperity Grand Empire absolutely could not withstand it. At this time, they were probably already desperately defending Twilight City.

 

As Qin Yichen had predicted.

 

Actually, the situation was even more severe than he had imagined.

 

The Carefree Prince, Xia Zelei, who had originally been stationed at Ancient Mountain Pass, had withdrawn from that final line of defence and returned to Twilight City.

 

Because if he did not return to defend, even Twilight City might fall.

 

Standing atop the high city walls of Twilight City, Xia Zelei’s brow was tightly furrowed.

 

Below the city, in all directions, were enemy forces, countless in number.

 

After just one day of siege, the defending forces within the city had already been reduced by nearly half.

 

This was still based on their equipment advantage.

 

One could see the disparity in strength between the two sides.

 

After all, the Great Prosperity Grand Empire was now facing the allied forces of seven Grand Empires.

 

“Father, do we still have a chance of victory?” Xia Ziyi beside him asked.

 

All along, his Father had been his faith. In his heart, his Father was omnipotent and invincible in battle!

 

“A chance of victory?” A faint bitter smile appeared at the corner of Xia Zelei’s mouth.

 

How could they speak of victory? In this situation, any strategy was utterly useless, and his wisdom had no space to show itself.

 

Originally, the Great Prosperity Grand Empire had hoped to become the strongest Grand Empire, but now it seemed that those Grand Empires wanted to do more than seize the Compound Pill Formulas. Most importantly, they wanted to strangle the Great Prosperity Grand Empire in its cradle, before it could truly grow.

 

“Father, will he return?”

 

“He?” Xia Zelei cast his gaze towards the distant horizon.

 

He naturally knew who Xia Ziyi was referring to.

 

First, he had to admit that Qin Yichen was the most talented young man he had ever seen. In every aspect, he could find no flaws.

 

But when Qin Yichen left, he had only just become a Human Grade Alchemy Master, and now only a year or so had passed.

 

In just over a year, no matter how amazing his talent, how much progress could he make?

 

Even if he returned, it probably would not change anything.

 

***

 

At this time, the allied forces of seven Grand Empires’ commanders were all gathered in a tent.

 

Seven great commanders, along with several Royal Family members from various Grand Empires, were assembled together. However, sitting in the main seat was not any commander from the seven Grand Empires, nor any Royal Family member.

 

It was a seemingly middle-aged man.

 

At this moment, the seven great commanders were all eagerly offering him advice, as if trying to win his favour.

 

If Qin Yichen were here, he would definitely recognise this person, because he was the White Cloud Manor Master!

 

That day, after his narrow defeat at the Ten Corner Alchemy Manor, he had sent people to investigate Qin Yichen’s origins and inadvertently discovered the Great Prosperity Grand Empire, also learning about the Compound Pill.

 

Originally, like others, his first reaction was to think that Qin Yichen came from some Hidden Family. However, after detailed investigation, he learned of Qin Yichen’s origins.

 

He was merely someone from a small kingdom within a Grand Empire.

 

However, he did not publicise this, because he wanted to claim those Compound Pill Formulas for himself.

 

Therefore, he did not alert any Imperial Dynasty Forces, but chose these seven Grand Empires to serve him.

 

Obviously, because he was plotting these matters, he was unaware of what had happened at the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty’s Alchemy Manor Summit. Otherwise, even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare target Qin Yichen.

 

Now in the Imperial Dynasty, who did not know that Qin Yichen had given the Extreme Emperor Transformation Pill to the Feng Family?

 

That was the Feng Family! It was a colossal entity that even the Imperial Dynasty could not afford to provoke, let alone a small Alchemy Manor Master like him!
