Fated Villain System
Chapter 67: 66 Skyfire City, Gong Tiancheng
[7.4K Words]
Tianhuo City is a small border town in the Luohen Immortal Dynasty. After some discussion with Fourth Uncle, I learned that Tianhuo City isn't a particularly powerful town.
It's considered relatively weak among the border towns.
The strongest person among the Tianhuo Clan, recorded in the Luohen Immortal Dynasty, only reached the Moon-Peeping Realm.
With Gong Tiancheng's Dao-Certification Realm, he should have been able to suppress the rebellion in Huo City single-handedly.
But now he's been captured. This suggests either Tianhuo City has powerful members or Gong Tiancheng is just being stupid again.
Also, Mother should have been able to raze Tianhuo City to the ground in a single stroke, but instead, she sent an army to suppress the rebellion. Why would a small Tianhuo City go to such lengths?
Qin Tian seemed to have figured it out as well. He turned to ask his fourth uncle, Gong Wusheng, "Fourth Uncle, has Mother made any arrangements?"
Gong Wusheng nodded, looked at Qin Tian, and smiled faintly, saying, "Your Highness is truly intelligent. Skyfire City is nothing to our Luohen Immortal Dynasty. What really concerns us is the reason behind Skyfire City's rebellion."
Qin Tian and Gong Tiancheng were identical, but the difference was that while Qin Tian had been a bit outrageous as a child, obsessed with beautiful women and nice wives, he grew up to be sensible, and he's still incredibly talented.
Gong Tiancheng, on the other hand, had been the same idiot he was as a child, and he remained the same idiot he was as a child. This infuriated Gong Wusheng immensely. If he weren't so old, he'd have wanted to find a wife and start a second account.
Qin Tian nodded. As expected.
Even if he had ten times the courage, Skyfire City wouldn't dare rebel against the Luohen Immortal Dynasty. Ten lives wouldn't be enough for them to die.
It was obvious that some force behind this was giving them confidence, and it was a significant one, capable of swelling Tianhuo City to the point of openly rebelling against the Luohen Immortal Dynasty.
However, he was more curious about how Gong Tiancheng was captured than this.
Qin Tian didn't waste any time before heading back to the bedroom. Without a word, he dragged Yue Qingling along, leaving the women with him as they left, bewildered.
Xiao Meng blinked, looked at her godmother, and asked, "Is this bad guy going to take Sister Qingling's virginity?"
Qin Tian had so many women, but besides his followers, Yue Qingling was the only one still a virgin, a fact she had complained about several times.
Zhou Bairou was also a bit confused and asked, "Why is he so anxious?"
"Does he have a disease that kills women if they don't take their virginity?"
Zhou Bairou, Zhou Baiyu, Hu Jiuli, and Yan Duo'er looked at Xiao Meng speechlessly. There was no such disease in the world. If Qin Tian truly had it, there would probably be very few virgins left in the Great Thousand Dao Realm.
......
At the same time.
On the border of the Luohen Immortal Dynasty, in Tianqing City.
Tianqing City was the largest and most powerful of all the cities near the border, and it was the primary target of Tianhuo City's attack.
It was also Yue Qingling's hometown. Her father was the mayor of Tianqing City, which was why Qin Tian had only brought Yue Qingling with him.
At this moment, countless armored soldiers hurried through Tianqing City, their faces solemn.
Many residents and independent cultivators were in a state of panic, discussing the situation.
"I wonder if Tianqing City can hold out? Tianhuo City's attacks have been getting more intense these days." In a restaurant, a young man, observing the hurried soldiers on the street, said to his companions in a deliberately low voice.
"I think we should leave quickly. Tianqing City is probably finished."
"What do you mean? If the Luohen Immortal Dynasty gets the news, they'll definitely come to support us, right?"
"Don't you know? The Luohen Immortal Dynasty's Crown Prince Gong Tiancheng has been captured by Tianhuo City. Do you think a tiny Tianqing City is worth the Crown Prince's life?"
Everyone's eyes widened at this, their faces filled with shock.
Tianqing City was only considered large for a small border town like this; it was an insignificant city within the entire Luohen Immortal Dynasty. If Tianhuo City threatened Gong Tiancheng's life, the Luohen Immortal Dynasty would inevitably abandon Tianqing City.
In Tianqing City, many cultivators discussed, and most had already made plans to flee. Suddenly, everyone in the city heard a tremendous dragon roar from the horizon.
An immensely large black dragon poked its head out from above the clouds, its massive, long body tumbling through them.
A terrifying pressure descended upon them! Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking up at the sky in horror.
A black dragon descended from the clouds, landing directly within Tianqing City. Its massive claws rested on the buildings, its enormous body occupying nearly half the city.
Both the cultivators and soldiers were terrified by this sight, at a loss for words.
Just as everyone was about to flee, a sharp-eyed person spotted two figures standing atop the dragon's head. He peered, his pupils shrinking, and pointed at the dragon, excitedly shouting, "It's the Son of God! No, it's the Crown Prince of the Luohen Immortal Dynasty!"
Everyone looked and saw, indeed, a man and a woman standing atop the enormous dragon's head.
One of them was shrouded in immortal energy, a shimmering presence.
His white robes were whiter than snow, his eyes calm and peaceful, yet radiant like starlight. His brows were gentle, his aura noble. Though his white attire wasn't ostentatious, it accentuated his handsomeness, like a banished immortal.
Beside him, a beautiful woman accompanied him.
This beautiful woman was tall and graceful, with a slender build, and her manners were dignified and elegant.
Her black hair was as black as lacquer, her skin was like jade, and her eyes were dazzling. She wore a green dress that fluttered in the wind, her long hair tied in a high ponytail. Her green shirt was as beautiful as a flower, and her long sword was as white as snow. She was both heroic and indescribably beautiful and elegant.
Before anyone could exclaim in surprise, a series of massive floating warships appeared above Tianqing City. On their decks stood soldiers, who had been neatly arranged for a long time.
Above each warship, a flag fluttered in the wind, bearing two ancient characters: "Zhenwu."
On the other side of the flag, "Luohen" was inscribed.
These words were simple yet majestic, exuding an indescribable sense of supreme authority.
Even many of the flags were stained with dried blood, which gave off an unspoken, chilling aura of murderous intent.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Qin Tian, carrying the dragon head, stood proudly, thousands of warships sailing overhead. The sight left everyone mesmerized.
"It's the Luohen Immortal Dynasty's Zhenwu Army!"
"Great! The Luohen Immortal Dynasty hasn't given up on us. We're saved!"
"And His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has come in person. I'm truly flattered. Such respect for a tiny Tianqing City is truly remarkable!"
Qin Tian glanced around the city and noticed something amiss with the number of soldiers. Standing atop the dragon head, he glanced at a soldier below and asked, "Why are there so few soldiers in the city?"
The soldier, still dazed by the shock, replied in a panic, "To... To His Royal Highness, the city lord is leading all his troops in a decisive battle with Tianhuo City on the plains a hundred miles outside the city. A small number of men remain in the city to maintain order."
Hearing that the city lord was personally leading his troops in a decisive battle with Tianhuo City, Yue Qingling's face showed a hint of worry. The city lord of Tianqing City was her father. Qin Tian gently patted her lower back and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. We'll go support your father now."
"Thank you, young master." Yue Qingling nodded, looking at Qin Tian with gratitude.
Now that he knew that Tianqing City and Tianhuo City were fighting outside, Qin Tian didn't stay in the city any longer. With a command, thousands of warships sailed out of the city.
Jiao Cai let out a dragon's roar that resounded through the sky, and then his massive body soared into the sky amidst the wind and clouds.
......
Border Plains.
A blood-soaked, armor-clad middle-aged man, face utterly pale, gritted his teeth and persevered. His sword wielded relentlessly, wielding it relentlessly, harvesting the lives of his enemies.
Behind him stood the soldiers of Tianqing City.
Every one of them held a fearless will, weapons in hand, following their leader to slaughter the enemy. Though drenched in blood and suffering countless casualties, they never retreated a single step.
And all around them were a vast, overwhelming force of Tianhuo City soldiers, tightly encircling them.
"Brothers, the battle isn't over yet, we haven't lost yet. Don't give up. Follow me, let's fight our way out!" Yue Xuanshan encouraged the soldiers behind him as he slaughtered the enemy. Even as he spoke, despair shone in his eyes.
Faced with an army several times their size, their few men couldn't possibly break through. But even if they all perished on the battlefield, they would use their last ounce of strength to kill just one more person.
Because this would be their last chance to resist.
Under the frenzied attacks of Tianhuo City, Tianqing City was on the verge of collapse in just a few months. For the sake of its inhabitants, he led the city's last remaining resistance out of the city for a decisive battle.
If they continued to defend the city, not only would it collapse, but once it was breached, the inhabitants would surely be massacred.
At first, they had hope, as Gong Tiancheng had arrived with his troops to support them. However, for unknown reasons, Gong Tiancheng was captured.
The initial hope turned to despair once again.
He knew in his heart that the Luohen Immortal Dynasty would not send any more troops to support them. With Gong Tiancheng in their hands, they would have leverage to negotiate with the Luohen Immortal Dynasty, and Tianqing City would inevitably become a victim.
"The man in front, sword-wielding and armored, is Yue Xuanshan, the Lord of Tianqing City. Capture him alive and you will be granted the title of King and Marquis, a reward of ten thousand spirit stones, and magical instruments!"
A Tianhuo City general glared fiercely at Yue Xuanshan and shouted.
"Kill!"
Hearing the promise of such a generous reward, countless Skyfire City soldiers suddenly unleashed an even greater fighting spirit, charging forward fearlessly.
Weapons clashed, blood raged, and all sorts of magical powers and spells blazed, staining the ground beneath their feet red with blood.
"Fight them! Kill one and it's a win, kill two and it's back!"
Although the Tianqing City soldiers were vastly outnumbered, their momentum was no less.
Both sides continued to fight tooth and nail.
"Heaven is destroying our Tianqing..."
Yue Xuanshan watched soldier after soldier fall in a pool of blood. His heart bled, and he was already at his limit. The sword in his hand felt as heavy as lead, making even a single swing incredibly difficult.
"Send a signal, and let the people in the city flee quickly."
Before leaving the city to fight, he had told the defenders that if he was defeated, he would send a signal, urging the people to flee Tianqing City.
Just as everyone was desperately about to send a signal...
Roar!
Suddenly!
A thunderous roar echoed from the sky.
Then a massive black dragon descended from the sky onto the battlefield, its tail sweeping, its claws tearing, and its mouth spewing dragon fire, instantly reducing large numbers of Tianhuo City soldiers to corpses.
Then...
An overwhelming shadow descended!
Ancient warships suddenly shattered the void and appeared in the sky. A terrifying pressure, mixed with an ancient desolate aura, pressed down!
A banner bearing the ancient characters "Zhenwu" stood in the wind, imbued with a sense of eternal immortality.
Seeing this scene...
The smile on the Skyfire City general's face, brimming with pride, suddenly froze, replaced by shock, bewilderment, confusion, and horror!
A look of astonishment filled his face.
How could the Luohen Immortal Dynasty come to their aid?
Gong Tiancheng was still in their hands. Could it be that they simply disregarded the safety of the Luohen Immortal Dynasty's crown prince?
Compared to the Tianfire City soldiers' expressions, which were as if they had eaten shit, the soldiers of Tianqing City were the complete opposite.
"It's... it's support from the Luohen Immortal Dynasty, the troops of the Zhenwu Prefecture!"
"Great! The Luohen Immortal Dynasty hasn't abandoned us. We're saved."
The soldiers of Tianqing City were instantly excited upon seeing the Luohen Immortal Dynasty's warships, erupting in thunderous cheers.
Seeing this, Yue Xuanshan lowered the signal in his hand and looked up, seeing the warships one after another, tears streaming down his face.
"Are you crazy? Gong Tiancheng is still in our hands. Do you want to see his head?"
The general of Skyfire City roared in rage.
"You traitor! If you don't chop him down, I'll fucking kill him!"
Gong Wusheng leaped directly from the warship, creating a massive crater in the ground.
He held a mountain axe in hand, his eyes glowing red as his imposing figure emerged from the crater. He was like a demon rising from the abyss, his fierce aura radiating from the battlefield. An ordinary soldier couldn't even hold his weapon in his presence.
"You dare to invade the borders of the Luohen Immortal Dynasty and massacre our subjects? Today, I will kill all of you bastards, and then I'll go and kill that traitor!"
Gong Wusheng roared, his armor, forged from rare materials and made of top-grade divine artifacts, ripped apart.
Armor fragments flew everywhere, and Gong Wusheng's explosively massive muscles were terrifying.
Gong Wusheng had been fighting on the border for years, his bravery unmatched. There were even rumors that the smell of blood lingered on his body for three months.
This old man was truly terrifying.
With a general like him, his soldiers were naturally no pushovers. The sight of the enemy was like seeing a naked young woman.
Every one of them was as ferocious as a wolf, incredibly excited.
"Damn it! I haven't had meat in ages without fighting the Tianwu Immortal Dynasty!"
"Kill! Brothers, take this opportunity to kill as many as you can. Who knows if there will be more next time after this one!"
This scene stunned not only the people of Tianhuo City, but even those of Tianqing City. They had never seen anyone so excited about fighting.
Compared to this, they were like sheep, while the people of Zhenwu Prefecture were like ferocious wolves, terrifying and cunning.
"Damn it! Retreat!" Fear washed over the Skyfire City commander, seeing the situation dire, and he immediately issued the order to retreat.
The Skyfire City soldiers, already terrified by the sight of the pack of hungry wolves from the Zhenwu Mansion, had completely lost their fighting spirit. Now, with the order from their commander, they took to their heels.
There was no other way. If they ran any slower, the swords, axes, and spears behind them would be upon them. Now they wished their mothers hadn't given them two more legs.
Qin Tian stood atop the dragon's head, his hands behind his back, his eye runes swirling as he surveyed the fleeing Skyfire City soldiers.
"A number of members of the Ancient Imperial Family are disguising themselves as humans and infiltrating the army. Is it the Ancient Imperial Family behind the Skyfire City rebellion?"
The Taikoo Imperial Family has indeed been quite active lately. Not only have they awakened many dormant ancient prodigies, but their presence seems to be widespread across the Great Thousand Dao Realm.
"Is it because of Nine Abyss's coffin?"
Qin Tian's lips curled slightly. He had roughly guessed the reason for the Taikoo Imperial Family's activity. If a powerhouse above the Great Emperor realm emerged from the Taikoo Imperial Family, they could truly recreate the former glory of dominating the world.
"This is a desperate fight."
Qin Tian didn't care. The human race was now powerful, and with the accumulation of years, there were no shortage of Great Emperors. If a real fight broke out, the Taikoo Imperial Family would surely lose.
Even if the Taikoo Imperial Family had any hidden cards, they still had the Qin Clan. The Seventeenth Ancestor alone was stronger than most Great Emperors. If all else failed, he could dig out the previous ancestors as well. He didn't believe they couldn't win.
Yue Qingling anxiously searched for her father on the battlefield when she saw a middle-aged man, his face pale, sitting on the ground, looking up at the warships in the sky.
"Dad!"
Yue Qingling didn't even bother to greet Qin Tian. She jumped off Jiao Cai's dragon head and ran towards Yue Xuanshan.
"Qingling!?"
When Yue Xuanshan saw his daughter, he thought he was seeing things. How could his daughter be here?
"Dad, are you okay?" Yue Qingling asked with concern.
"Why are you here?" Yue Xuanshan, looking at his daughter so close, finally believed that the Yue Qingling before him was real.
Yue Qingling hadn't been home for a long time since she left for Tiandao Academy. Seeing her again, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I was with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Seeing her father was alright, Yue Qingling felt relieved.
Yue Xuanshan was stunned. Was his daughter going to be the Crown Princess?
Before he could ask any more questions, he saw Qin Tian approaching. Yue Xuanshan immediately stood up to greet him, but he was covered in wounds, and even moving was extremely painful.
Qin Tian extended his hand and pressed against the air. A powerful force pushed Yue Xuanshan down. He then walked to Yue Qingling's side and said, "No need to bow. Besides, given my relationship with Qingling, there's no need for you to bow."
Oh my god, my daughter is really the Crown Princess!
Yue Xuanshan's bloodstained face widened with shock. He looked at his daughter again, and seeing Yue Qingling's shy expression, he was filled with excitement.
"Smoke is rising from our ancestors' graves! Girl, I thought you wouldn't be able to get married, but you've become the Crown Princess!"
"Dad!" Yue Qingling was annoyed and anxious at her father's expression. She really didn't dare to call herself the Crown Princess.
"Haha, Qingling is truly my woman now," Qin Tian said with a smile, wrapping his large arm around Yue Qingling's slender waist.
"Young Master..." Even though Yue Qingling was known for her unconventional and unrestrained demeanor, this was a battlefield, and with so many eyes watching, she felt a bit embarrassed.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your support. I thank you on behalf of the people of Tianqing City."
Yue Xuanshan, recovering from his euphoria, hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Qin Tian.
He wasn't so foolish as to act impertinently in front of Qin Tian just because his daughter was his woman. And these words came from the bottom of his heart.
Without Qin Tian's support, Tianqing City would surely have been devastated.
There were countless cities, large and small, and affiliated forces within the Luohen Immortal Dynasty. A small border town like Tianqing City was merely a dispensable existence.
Let alone one Tianqing City, even if ten Tianqing Cities were destroyed, it wouldn't cause a single ripple within the Luohen Immortal Dynasty.
Even with Gong Tiancheng in someone else's hands, this wouldn't cause a single ripple within the Luohen Immortal Dynasty. Qin Tian's expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand, saying, "Tianqing City is, after all, a tributary city of the Luohen Immortal Dynasty, and a part of our Luohen Immortal Dynasty. Facing danger, we will naturally not stand idly by. Moreover, they have captured Gong Tiancheng, and we must avenge that vengeance."
After Qin Tian finished speaking, he flung a medicinal pill emitting a strong medicinal aroma into Yue Xuanshan's hands.
"This pill can heal your injuries, but you have depleted your essence so much that it may be difficult for you to regain your peak cultivation."
Qin Tian continued.
Yue Xuanshan accepted it with a startled expression, and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your great kindness."
Qin Tian nodded, gently patted Yue Qingling's waist, and said, "Take your father back to Tianqing City to recuperate. I will clean up the battlefield before returning."
Yue Qingling nodded, hurriedly helped Yue Xuanshan up, and led the remaining Tianqing City soldiers back to Tianqing City.
It's undeniable that the Zhenwu Prefecture's army was a formidable force. With Gong Wusheng leading the charge, they were incredibly fierce. The soldiers on both sides were simply on a different level.
Seeing the pursuit was almost over, Gong Wusheng halted his troops, and the previously ferocious army immediately formed into neat columns.
Qin Tian approached Gong Wusheng and said, "Fourth Uncle, I saw members of the Ancient Imperial Family among the soldiers from Skyfire City."
"Hmm, no wonder." Gong Wusheng nodded, thoughtfully saying, "No wonder some of them seem a little tougher to chop. They're from the Ancient Imperial Family."
Qin Tian was speechless. His fourth uncle was a truly exceptional individual, but it was no wonder he'd spawned a clown like Gong Tiancheng.
Thinking of Gong Tiancheng, Qin Tian asked, "What should we do about Tiancheng?"
"What should we do?" Gong Wusheng flew into a rage at the mere mention of this unfilial son. He slammed his massive axe into the ground and said, "Of course, we don't care if he lives or dies. We'll just attack the city."
"Your Highness, if they threaten us with a rebellious son, I will personally kill him. I won't delay military intelligence."
Gong Wusheng seemed even more eager to try.
Seeing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but wonder if Gong Tiancheng was the son of the neighboring Mr. Wang. This father couldn't wait for his son to die.
Qin Tian certainly wouldn't let Gong Tiancheng be killed by his father's axe like this.
"Fourth Uncle, calm down. We can punish him later after we rescue him."
"How? Are my soldiers going to risk their lives to save a rebellious son?" Gong Wusheng was clearly even more heartbroken for his soldiers.
What son? If he dies, he can just have another. Despite his gray beard and advanced age, he still possesses the same virility and strength. He still has the ability to find a wife and have another child.
This main account is almost worn out anyway.
It makes sense to create a secondary one.
Qin Tian quickly interrupted Gong Wusheng's plan and said, "No need to sacrifice soldiers to rescue him. I can go alone."
"No!" Gong Wusheng refused without hesitation.
What a joke! Risking Qin Tian for a rebellious son wouldn't be worth Gong Tiancheng's life.
"Your Highness, I cannot agree to this proposal. Skyfire City is insignificant, but if the power behind him is from the Ancient Royal Family, then we must take it seriously. There are bound to be experts from the Ancient Royal Family in Skyfire City."
Qin Tian raised his hand slightly, interrupting Gong Wusheng's exhortation. Runes swirled in his eyes as he simply glanced at him.
But his eyes seemed to hold the power of the vast river of time, entwined with the forces of countless rules.
A terrifying pressure enveloped the heavens and earth, descending instantly.
Gong Wusheng's body trembled, his eyes filled with horror.
He actually sensed death in that one look. Though it was unbelievable, he could sense that Qin Tian wanted him dead with just a glance.
"Fourth Uncle, with my strength, even if a great emperor guarded Skyfire City, I would remain unharmed. Don't worry," Qin Tian retracted his gaze and said calmly.
Gong Wusheng was silent for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement, saying, "Your Highness, proceed with caution. If you encounter danger, Gong Tiancheng will die. You can use him as a shield if necessary, but you must return safely."
True indeed: a loving father and a filial son.
Qin Tian now doubted even more whether Gong Tiancheng was indeed the son of Old Wang next door.
"Don't worry, Fourth Uncle. You all go back to Tianqing City and wait for news. I'll rescue Tiancheng, and then we'll attack Tianhuo City."
After Qin Tian finished speaking, his figure blurred and disappeared before Gong Wusheng.
Tianhuo City was suffering a crushing defeat, and morale was low. In this chaotic moment, Qin Tian easily slipped into Tianhuo City, concealing his presence.
At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion of Tianhuo City.
"It's over! The Luohen Immortal Dynasty has sent troops, and they've sent the most ruthless and ruthless Zhenwu King, Gong Wusheng. I shouldn't have listened to you and rebelled against the Luohen Immortal Dynasty. You're going to kill me!"
Zhenwu King was notorious for his brutality, rumored to be a ruthless man who could slash through eighteen streets without blinking an eye. He killed without blinking an eye!
Chi Yanli, the City Lord of Tianhuo City, was panicking. No, he was terrified.
He was so filled with regret that his legs were weak.
But even if he surrendered, neither the Luohen Immortal Dynasty nor the Taikoo Imperial Family would let him go.
"Don't worry about that. With us in the Luohen Immortal Dynasty, we're nothing."
In the City Lord's Mansion, there was another figure in a golden robe. He was burly, but by his appearance, he wasn't human.
His arms and face were covered in pale green dragon scales, and two dragon horns sprouted from his head, emanating an ancient and mysterious Daoist aura.
He exuded a powerful aura, evidently having reached the realm of a sage.
"Now that the Tianqing City mission has failed, do your promises still stand?" Chi Yanli asked with some concern.
He had rebelled against the Luohen Immortal Dynasty because the Wanlong Dynasty, a member of the ancient imperial family, had approached him.
They had promised him numerous benefits and treasures, and more importantly, promised him that as long as he captured cities and territories, the Wanlong Dynasty would help him defend them against retaliation from the Luohen Immortal Dynasty.
In other words, even if they couldn't completely destroy the Luohen Immortal Dynasty, they could still carve out a piece of its territory.
He could establish his own kingdom and become king!
He was a greedy man, yet his abilities were limited. If he remained a city lord, he would never become wealthy. So what if he colluded with aliens and slaughtered his own people for wealth and power?
After all, he had a saint protecting him. Even if the Luohen Immortal Dynasty sent someone stronger than a saint, the Wanlong Dynasty wouldn't stand idly by.
If even the high-level warriors took action, the situation would become even more chaotic.
"What should we do with Gong Tiancheng?" Chi Yanli asked with a headache. He had originally thought that capturing Gong Tiancheng would tie the Luohen Immortal Dynasty's hands and make them abandon Tianqing City for Gong Tiancheng.
But to his surprise, they didn't care about Gong Tiancheng's life at all.
Long Cang snorted coldly and said, "If it was Qin Tian who was captured, there wouldn't be so much trouble."
Chi Yanli's mouth twitched. Capturing Qin Tian? It was a blessing he could even bring himself to say it. Even if he did, he didn't know if the Wanlong Dynasty could withstand the retaliation he would receive. But he knew he would be torn into pieces, his soul ablaze, unable to live or die.
"Leave him alone for now, let him stay in jail. We must capture Tianqing City. This is the first step towards prying open the gates of the Luohen Immortal Dynasty."
Since Gong Tiancheng was no longer useful and it was difficult to kill him outright, Long Cang simply ignored him. His focus now lay on capturing Tianqing City.
As long as they could capture Tianqing City, they could gradually erode the Luohen Immortal Dynasty from there.
Originally, they had no intention of attacking the Luohen Immortal Dynasty, but with the birth of Qin Duoduo, some of the elders of the Taikoo Imperial Clan sensed a sense of danger.
The Luohen Immortal Dynasty already had Qin Tian, and now there was Qin Duoduo.
Qin Tian had grown up, and they had no way to deal with him. But Qin Duoduo was just born, and they wanted to nip this threat in the bud.
Even if they couldn't kill her, they couldn't let her grow up smoothly.
As long as the Qin Clan didn't take action, the Wanlong Dynasty had no fear of the Luohen Immortal Dynasty and might even be superior.
......
In the dungeon of Skyfire City.
Qin Tian emerged from the shadows. He randomly found a soldier, searched his soul, and found the location where Gong Tiancheng was being held.
Qin Tian had just reached the cell door and was about to open it when a voice rang out from within.
Qin Tian dodged and dodged to the side.
Although his strength didn't warrant hiding, it would be troublesome if he alerted the others.
The cell door opened from the inside, and several disheveled women emerged. They supported each other, their steps unsteady, their faces filled with relief.
"Ah ha... Ah ha... So cool."
"I didn't expect this pretty boy to be so capable. Oh... No, hold me up a little, my legs are weak."
The women's expressions were unbridled and full of beauty.
However, these women were from the ancient royal family, and many had the appearance of bestial beings.
For example, the leopard-skinned lady.
The lady with a tiger-head tattoo, and so on.
Watching them walk away, Qin Tian was bewildered. These women were clearly post-orgasm. Could there be a slutty party going on inside?
Qin Tian pushed the door open and entered.
He saw Gong Tiancheng chained to his hands and feet, but the chains were long enough to not restrict his movements.
He was disheveled, his chest exposed. His clothes had been torn, leaving only a pair of loose pants. He sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, picking his teeth with a bamboo stick, looking very pleased.
His face and body were covered in lipstick marks of all sizes.
Gong Tiancheng was just savoring the sensation when he heard the door open. He thought those exciting ladies had returned, and when he saw it was Qin Tian, he exclaimed with delight.
"Qin Tian, you finally came to save me."
Qin Tian looked at Gong Tiancheng and, after thinking about the women who had just left, he immediately guessed what they had been doing here.
"Forget it, Fourth Uncle has arrived with his troops. I'll get you out now, and we'll go back together."
Qin Tian didn't want to waste any more time. He took out a common sword and was about to cut the chains from Gong Tiancheng.
"What! My father's here!" Gong Tiancheng, upon hearing his father was coming, immediately withdrew his hand and shook his head, saying, "I'm not going back."
"Are you mentally ill?" Qin Tian was practically laughing at this idiot.
"You don't know my father's temper. If I go back to see him, I'll probably die at his hands, if not at the hands of the enemy."
"We'll talk later."
Gong Tiancheng chuckled and said, "I eat well and sleep well here. I just made love with several horny foreign women. I can't bear to leave, hehe."
Qin Tian was stunned. He pointed his thumb at the door and asked, "How could you have the heart to kill a few orcs just now? I've never seen you so hungry and indiscriminate."
"Are you kidding me?" Qin Tian wanted to beat this idiot up now.
Gong Tiancheng: "It's true. My father is here, and this is my best refuge."
"Are you so afraid of your father?" Qin Tian asked curiously.
Gong Tiancheng said with a bitter expression, "If my father were too old to move, I wouldn't be afraid of him. Don't look at his white hair now; he's still stronger than me. My mother is still young, so if she tries, she might as well have another child."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Qin Tian angrily punched Gong Tiancheng in the head.
Just as Qin Tian was about to cut the chains from Gong Tiancheng, he heard noises outside the cell; someone was approaching.
"Someone's coming! I'll hide."
Qin Tian immediately concealed his presence and hid in a corner of the cell.
Gong Tiancheng watched Qin Tian hide, then turned to look at the door.
"Holy crap!"
Gong Tiancheng was startled to see nearly six half-orc women walk in. Their clothing was incredibly eye-catching.
The leopard-printed lady walked gracefully, her genuine leather skin a sight to behold. Two small drums hung from her chest, which she tapped as she approached Gong Tiancheng.
Her expression was that of a cat in heat.
The other half-orc women were similarly sultry, their faces filled with unsatisfied desire, making Gong Tiancheng swallow.
Qin Tian, watching this scene from the side, was instantly filled with awe and respect for Gong Tiancheng.
Somewhat startled, a little puzzled, but ultimately respectful.
Gong Tiancheng took a half step back, his gaze darting towards Qin Tian's hiding place. If there were no one around, he could have gone in and out, battling for three hundred rounds!
But with Qin Tian watching, he felt a bit constrained.
"Miss, what are you doing?"
"Ouch! You've already taken it all in, and you're trying to get away with it? Why are you pretending to be so reserved?" The leopard-printed woman approached Gong Tiancheng, her small hand stroking his chin with a lewd smile.
Gong Tiancheng took another half step back, his eyes averted. "How could I, the dignified Crown Prince of the Luohen Immortal Dynasty, do such a disgraceful thing?"
"Stop talking!" The leopard-printed woman tore off Gong Tiancheng's clothes and continued, "Where were you being so frivolous just now? Ha!"
"Just now, of course I could be frivolous, but now that there's someone..." Gong Tiancheng stopped mid-sentence. He couldn't just say Qin Tian was here.
"What's the matter? Didn't you say it wasn't exciting with so few people? I've brought several more sisters with me. Let's have something even more exciting! Handsome men and beasts!"
With that, a group of orcish women pounced on him.
Suddenly, waves of women's moans and men's roars filled the entire cell. Qin Tian, hiding nearby, was stunned. Although he'd suspected it, seeing it with his own eyes was still a shock.
In this respect, Gong Tiancheng was far superior to him. He couldn't even handle this leopard print leather, while Gong Tiancheng could fight six at once.
"I admire you, I admire you."
At this moment, the tide of battle turned. Perhaps with Qin Tian watching from the side, Gong Tiancheng, unwilling to lose face in front of Qin Tian, immediately took control.
He flipped the leopard-print leather woman on top of him onto her back, then scooped up the others, unleashing a frenzy.
"If a tiger doesn't show its might, you think I'm a sick cat! You aliens, let me show you the might of our human men!"
Gong Tiancheng was incredibly brave, his combat prowess unparalleled, and he exuded the aura of a warrior ready to fight.
This reminded Qin Tian of a saying: "Dedicate yourself to serving your country. If I can't fight in battle, I'll fuck your women."
"Oh!!! I want more..."
The orc ladies were completely captivated by Gong Tiancheng, their expressions awash with pleasure.
After a long while, Gong Tiancheng's hair was disheveled, his clothes torn, and his entire body was covered in hickeys. Now, new and old hickeys almost covered his entire body.
Several half-orc women also left, looking relieved.
Qin Tian emerged from a corner. Seeing this, Gong Tiancheng smiled smugly, "How's it going, brother? Am I tough?"
Qin Tian's mouth twitched. It was thanks to his strong mental endurance, otherwise, he would have gone to the bathroom after what had just happened.
"Stop arguing with me! I'm getting you out right now."
Qin Tian didn't bother trying to argue with this idiot this time. He simply severed the chains from his body with a single strike of his sword and led him out of Tianhuo City.
Outside Tianqing City, the Zhenwu Prefecture army was temporarily stationed at a camp.
Qin Tian brought the already dressed Gong Tiancheng to the main tent.
"Fourth Uncle, I've brought Tiancheng back," Qin Tian said.
Gong Tiancheng scratched his head and said, "Dad, I'm back safely..."
"Hey, gasp!"
Before Gong Tiancheng could finish his words, Gong Wusheng teleported in front of him and unleashed a Rising Dragon Punch.
This sent Gong Tiancheng flying several meters high.
"Rebellious son! How dare you come back!"
A series of blows, including a tornado kick, a rising dragon punch, and a wave punch, kept Gong Tiancheng suspended in the sky.
Qin Tian watched for a moment before speaking out to intervene.
"Fourth Uncle, stop fighting! We finally saved him. Killing him would be a shame."
"That's right, I'll listen to the prince." Gong Wusheng paused his attack upon hearing Qin Tian's words.
Only then did Gong Tiancheng fall from the sky.
Gong Tiancheng, his face swollen and bruised like a pig's, chuckled and said, "Thank...thank you, Dad."
At this point, his words were already leaking.
Qin Tian walked over and asked, "Tiancheng, how were you captured?"
Gong Tiancheng: "Well, I led my troops out to pursue the enemy, but we were ambushed by a Wanlong Dynasty saint."
"Why were you ambushed?" Gong Wusheng looked at him dangerously.
"Uh..." Gong Tiancheng's heart pounded wildly as he looked at Gong Wusheng's gaze, almost bursting.
"We were...we were lured into our territory..."
Gong Tiancheng spoke haltingly.
Originally, he had led his troops to Tianqing City and initially won a resounding victory, but then he got a little carried away and didn't notice the Wanlong Dynasty's decoy tactics.
And then he was captured alive.
"Asshole!" Gong Wusheng stomped his foot, cracking the ground into a spiderweb.
Gong Wusheng's eyes were red. His divine armor burst open again, revealing his massive, bulging muscles. The oppressive look was palpable, his veins bulging like the roots of an old tree.
"Ah... Your Highness, save me!" Gong Tiancheng was so frightened that he immediately hugged Qin Tian's thighs and hid behind him, terrified.
Qin Tian looked at him with disdain. "It's okay, Qin Tian. It's the Crown Prince who's in trouble."
"I've always told you to read more military tactics and learn more! Now, you've learned enough to regret not having read enough, and you never know the true meaning of a task until you've experienced it!"
"My good men of the Zhenwu Mansion! Each one a seasoned warrior, and because of your ignorance and arrogance, they've all died in frustration!"
"You'll pay for their lives!"
Gong Wusheng, his clothes ripped open, was already searching for his sword. He gritted his teeth and yelled at a personal guard, "Where's my sword!"
"Dad! He's not dead, he's not dead!!!" Gong Tiancheng quickly waved his hands.
Gong Tiancheng's forehead was covered in sweat. He knew his father; Gong Wusheng was truly capable of using him as a sacrifice to comfort the soldiers' families.
"When I was captured, I let them escape into the deep forest. I held off the Taikoo royal family myself."
"Now...now they're probably living as savages in the deep forest, digging wild vegetables..."
Gong Tiancheng said, stealing a glance at Gong Wusheng.
Hearing that some soldiers had survived, Gong Wusheng's expression softened slightly, but he was still furious.
"I've trained so hard, I've slain countless brave soldiers on the battlefield, and now you've been reduced to living as a savage in the mountains!"
Gong Wusheng simply wanted to strangle this rebellious son.
He said to his personal guards, "Send someone to bring them back right now."
"Alas," Gong Wusheng sighed.
He looked at Gong Tiancheng, silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "I'll let you go this time. When I get back, I'll arrange a marriage for you. You should start a family right away. Maybe you'll have some peace and stability."
"Look at the prince! He has a daughter. What about you? What about you? What about you?"
Gong Wusheng's soul-searching questions made Gong Tiancheng feel a little embarrassed.
Then he realized what was happening. He looked up at Qin Tian from where he was hugging his thigh and asked, "Are you a father?"
Qin Tian nodded and said, "Yes, the name is Qin Duoduo."
"Oh, congratulations!" Gong Tiancheng immediately laughed.
"You unfilial son, look at him! He's now a father, and you?" Gong Wusheng roared.
The omnipresent pressure to get married.
Alas.
"I've decided to arrange a marriage for you," Gong Wusheng said in a tone that brooked no refusal.
Gong Tiancheng was stunned. He knew that if he refused Gong Wusheng now, this day next year would probably be his death anniversary.
"Dad, whose family is this girl?" Gong Tiancheng asked curiously.
Just as Gong Wusheng was about to speak, a loud, rough voice rang out from outside the tent.
"Your Highness, you called me?"
Gong Wusheng stroked his beard and smiled, "I'm coming."
Qin Tian turned around and saw no one, but a wall.
A very large and tall wall.
Qin Tian and Gong Tiancheng were stunned, then simultaneously looked up.
Their eyes finally caught sight of a chin.
They took a few steps back in perfect sync, finally seeing that it wasn't a wall, but a person.
The man was incredibly tall, his muscular body practically bursting through his armor. He had a square face and a dark chin, the obvious mark of stubble from frequent shaving.
"This man is quite brave," Qin Tian exclaimed.
"Indeed," Gong Tiancheng echoed.
"Ahem." Gong Wusheng coughed, then introduced, "This is the daughter of one of my generals. Her name is Wang Shiman, and her nickname is Manman."
"Manman?" Qin Tian and Gong Tiancheng once again looked at the figure before them, who was taller than both of them.
Qin Tian: "She's quite a strong woman."
Gong Tiancheng: "Oh my god!"
Gong Tiancheng looked at his father in horror and asked tremblingly, "Dad, is she the wife you're looking for me?"
"Hmm! You have a problem?" Gong Wusheng glared at Gong Tiancheng.
"Manman has been with her father in our army since she was a child. She's incredibly brave on the battlefield, a woman who can hold her own against a thousand. I adore her dearly. Besides, only a girl like Manman can keep you in check and prevent you from bullying her."
"Little girl..."
Qin Tian's mouth twitched. He wondered how his fourth uncle could have seen Manman as young.
"Your Highness, please help me!" Gong Tiancheng placed all his hopes on Qin Tian.
Qin Tian quickly stepped back and said, "You can't even hang out with a few real leather beast girls. I think this Miss Manman is incredibly brave and incredibly beautiful, a rare gem in the world. I think you can handle it."
"What real leather beast girl?"
Gong Wusheng looked at Qin Tian.
"I don't know. I really don't know about him having a slutty party with six beauties from the ancient royal family in Tianhuo City."
Qin Tian said, and then he slipped away.
Instantly, Gong Wusheng's roar and Gong Tiancheng's wails could be heard from the main tent.
"Qin Tian! You're not a fucking human being!"
"Rebellious son, you not only insulted the Crown Prince but also disrespected His Majesty. If I don't beat you into submission today, I'll be your son!"
"I surrender! I truly surrender!"
"I'm hard of hearing."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Gong Tiancheng's screams lingered for three days, lingering for a long time. It was truly a wretched cry.
