第106章 "Blood Oath Betrayal"

**Chapter 106: The Ancient's Punishment**

Qin Wentian's fury had reached its peak, and he could feel his soul burning with indignation. "You're forcing me to make a choice? You're forcing me to abandon my legacy?" he roared, his voice echoing through the halls of the ancient temple.

Chu Ling'er's eyes were filled with tears, her voice trembling as she stood before him. "Qin Wentian, I'm sorry. I didn't want it to come to this. I wanted to protect you, to keep you safe."

Qin Wentian's expression was merciless, his eyes flashing with anger. "Protect me? You're the one who's put me in this position. You're the one who's forcing me to make a choice between you and the ancient's legacy."

As they spoke, the air seemed to charged with electricity, the ancient temple's energy swirling around them. Suddenly, the walls began to shake, the stone floor trembling beneath their feet.

"What's happening?" Chu Ling'er cried out, her voice filled with fear.

Qin Wentian's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on the ancient temple's walls. "The ancient's will is awakening," he whispered.

A massive stone door slammed open, revealing a chamber filled with ancient artifacts and relics. At the center of the room, a pedestal hovered, and upon it rested the ancient's legacy.

"Qin Wentian, choose," a voice boomed from the shadows, the ancient's voice echoing through the halls. "Choose between Chu Ling'er and the ancient's legacy."

Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with determination. "I won't choose. I won't abandon the ancient's legacy."

The ancient's legacy began to glow, a beam of energy shooting towards Qin Wentian. Chu Ling'er tried to grab him, but he shook her off, his eyes fixed on the pedestal.

"No," she cried out, tears streaming down her face. "Qin Wentian, don't do it. Please don't abandon me."

As the energy enveloped him, Qin Wentian's body began to glow, his eyes blazing with an inner fire. The ancient's legacy was awakening within him, the power of the ancient gods coursing through his veins.

And then, everything went black.

When Qin Wentian opened his eyes, he found himself in a desolate wasteland, the ancient temple nowhere in sight. Chu Ling'er was nowhere to be seen, and he was left alone to face the horrors that awaited him.

What had happened to Chu Ling'er? What lay ahead for Qin Wentian? The fate of the ancient temple's legacy was left hanging in the balance, as Qin Wentian stood alone, ready to face whatever challenges lay before him...
