Chapter 679: The Plan to Kill Xin Wuji
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xin Tianchen thought that as soon as he used this trump card, it would be tough for the Qin Clan to not be under his control. Unexpectedly, Qin Yunran did not entertain it in the slightest and gave him no ground to stand on.
Xin Tianchen was not someone easy to deal with. He let out a loud laugh and his expression turned cold all of a sudden. Then he said coldly, “Alright, Qin Yunran, then don’t blame me for what is to happen.”
Qin Yunran retorted, “That will not be of your concern. It seems the one that has lost their little lives first are not disciples of the Qin Clan, right?”
These words clearly insinuated how Xin Wuw.a.n.g had lost his life at the Ten Thousand Flower Valley. Indeed, as if a whip had struck Xin Tianchen’s face, his expression changed drastically all of a sudden.
“Good, good, good… Qin Yunran, let’s see. In the next moment, I promise that all sects and all the people of the five major Forbidden Spiritual Zones will learn that Qin Wushuang has acquired the Supreme Dao Fruit. Let’s see how that Qin Wushuang will come here!”
Qin Yunran emerged laughter. “Thank you for your concern, however Qin Wushuang is already on his way to the Xuan Yuan Mound. He never planned to come here. Yes, to ensure his safety, it seems my Head Chief plans to pick him up personally.”
It seemed as through Xin Tianchen was whipped again by another lash as his gaze showed more and more bitter resentment. He realized that when he was facing this Qin Yunran, he could not gain any advantage.
He gave Qin Yunran a glare and left angrily.
Although Qin Yunran had won against Xin Tianchen in terms of temperament, he was not at all joyful. This Supreme Dao Fruit was a good thing, yet it did not leave them secure even though it was in their hands. Only after consuming it would it count as something beneficial for the Qin Clan.
At least, it must be able to return to the Qin Clan and reach the Aspiring Throne Mountain to count as a good belonging to the Qin Clan.
This Xin Tianchen was not a lay pract.i.tioner of Buddhism for he would keep his word.
Although Qin Yunran was somewhat worried, he was rather relieved. Inwardly, he thought, “Wushuang, this kid, ever since he stepped onto the path of martial arts, he continues to surprise us. Perhaps this time, he will bring us another memorable surprise. Since ancient times, those who accomplish great things in their life become someone worthy of respect after hard work and numerous revisions.”
On the other hand, after Qin Wushuang had finished talking with Qin Yunran through spiritual perception, he had become more calm. He thought that when the seal of his communication jade plate broke, Xin Wuji’s must have also broke.
If Xin Wuji had spread the news, without a doubt, Qin Wushuang would certainly become the target of a mult.i.tude of arrows.
Therefore, if he were to continue making his way to the Karakorum Immortal Clan, perhaps it would be full of danger. Now as all elite warriors of the five major Forbidden Spiritual Zones gathered at the Karakorum Immortal Clan, the danger over there was clear.
He took out his communication jade plate and said to Ruo Tong, “Ruo Tong, one of my friends is still within the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, you must ensure that the divine beast will not harm him! His name is Jiu Fang Yunfei.”
Ruo Tong said, “Master, someone has opened the defense lines of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley completely: many martial artists have already left the Ten Thousand Flower Valley.”
“What?” Qin Wushuang was greatly surprised.
“It’s been done by Junior Sister. Senior Sister did not stop her. She seems to have let Junior Sister do it deliberately and let her take punishment before the Chiefs.”
Qin Wushuang s.h.i.+vered with coldness. He knew that Shui Ruolan was kind and resisted the ma.s.sacre that was happening inside the Ten Thousand Flower Valley. Therefore, she had opened all defenses and let all surviving martial artists escape.
Upon thinking of this, he checked the spiritual perception jade plate. Then, he took out the Observant Finger Jade Plate and saw that Jiu Fang Yunfei had truly left the Ten Thousand Flower Valley.
The most surprising thing was that Qin Wushuang had realized Xin Wuji had also gotten out. He was moving towards his direction at a fast pace! If Qin Wushuang were to not leave, in less than fifteen minutes, Xin Wuji would reach him!
As soon as Qin Wushuang thought about Xin Wuji, the anger from his heart appeared out of nowhere!
“I am not in a rush to return to the Xuan Yuan Mound. Since this Xin Wuji has pushed me this far, if I do not fight him, this bursting anger in my heart will not get unleashed in the end.”
From beginning to end, this Xin Wuji had interfered with his business. Initially, he was successful in the acquisition of the fruit and if Xin Wuji had not stopped him for a while at the entrance of the cave, he would have already left the Ten Thousand Flower Valley. How could he wait until the barrier was opened?
Thinking here, Qin Wushuang was not in a rush to go. Along the way, he left some presence without any visible marks.
Since Xin Wuji was not giving up, then I will play with you!
As anger surged up from the bottom of Qin Wushuang’s heart, an intense surge of hatred also aroused.
Inwardly, a bold thought had emerged. Since the Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan had turned hostile with the Qin Clan, regardless of the consequences, he would use the conflict of this Supreme Dao Fruit to kill Xin Wuji. By breaking a major hand of the Xin Clan, certainly it would pose as a great strike against the Xin Clan.
Thinking here, Qin Wushuang no longer hesitated. He took out the sealed scroll and initiated hand signs. Then, he spoke the spells and started the summoning.
With a flash of two dazzling lights, powerful air waves started rolling around his surroundings. A circular whirlpool rose from the ground and dazzling lights shone everywhere.
Inside the lights, two mighty, yet fierce-looking strange beasts unfolded their muscles and bones as if the sleeping devils had awakened them from a deep sleep.
Roar!
With two low growls, shock waves rippled instantly from the ground and spread across the area. The ground within a ten mile radius was swept into flat land.
In between the ball of lights, the figures of the two spiritual beasts also transformed at a rapid speed. Finally, in between the eruption of the lights, two robust men with gloomy and cold temperament had dropped. They knelt with one knee before Qin Wushuang. “Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon, Dark Mysterious Snake, we are yours, Master!”
Qin Wushuang laughed. “Swallowing Sky, Dark Mysterious, finally I have met you! From now on, the twelve major sealed spiritual beasts are now together, ha ha ha!”
The relations.h.i.+p between the twelve sealed spiritual beasts was extremely tight. All started to communicate with each other; however, the ident.i.ty of this Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon and Dark Mysterious Snake was much higher. The other spiritual beasts had carried a form of reverence to these two king-like figures.
Qin Wushuang had explained the general situation and said, “That Xin Wuji is the son of the Heavenly Emperor, the number one among the younger generation of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Now, our paths have been intertwined. Today we will fight him. We will risk offending the Xin Clan to kill this guy. You must a.s.sist me in this matter.”
Dark Mysterious Snake said with a cold sneer, “Is that Xin Wuji an elite warrior of the Supreme Dao?”
“He is at the peak of Common Mysterious Stage, one step away from that Supreme Dao Stage. Only, being the son of the Heavenly Emperor, he must possess Supreme Dao weapons and many pieces of good equipment…”
“Equipment and weapons are all dead things!” Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon said lightly. “Only one’s strength and stage are the most genuine. Perhaps, the use of Supreme Dao weapons can intimidate others; however, me and Dark Mysterious are not restrained towards Supreme Dao weapons. For one against one, maybe he could seize the upper hand with his Supreme Dao weapon, but two against one, even with the Supreme Dao weapons, we can make him meet his fate! There is no need for Master to even make a move!”
When Qin Wushuang saw how these two spiritual beasts at the peak of the Common Mysterious Stage were being incredibly haughty, he felt relieved inwardly, but was not blindly optimistic. Although the two spiritual beasts were powerful, Xin Wuji possesses great powers and deceit in many ways. He must protect himself.
Upon thinking here, Qin Wushuang laughed and said, “We can look down at Xin Wuji in terms of strategies, yet we must value tactics with great importance. Since we are going to fight, we must ensure one hundred percent success. Or else, it would not be pretty if we are to let that Xin Wuji escape.”
Now, Qin Wushuang intended to kill Xin Wuji, he did not wish to not have done it after making a big fuss.
“Don’t worry master, with me and Swallow Sky, that Xin Wuji will not be able to escape with any methods from the sky to the ground.” Dark Mysterious Snake appeared incredibly confident.
Qin Wushuang nodded. “Great!”
Soon, Sky Pilfered Mole had returned. “Master, there is a canyon on the northwest side. All four sides are high, but the middle part is low-lying. It’s a good place to set up an ambush for that Xin Wuji!”
Qin Wushuang nodded. “Alright, then let’s use that spot!”
When they arrived close to that canyon, Qin Wushuang looked again at the Observant Finger Jade Plate and saw Xin Wuji was moving in on them. He took out the communication jade plate and asked Ruo Tong, “Where is the divine beast of the Emei Daoist Sect now?”
“Great Tiger Saint is still chasing the remaining martial artists in the Ten Thousand Flower Valley!”
This answer made Qin Wushuang feel greatly relieved. As long as that devilish divine beast did not come here, he could fight with Xin Wuji without any lingering worries.
After he had taken out Xin Wuji, he could consider whether or not to make peace or to fight!
As Xin Wuji was chasing after his prey, he was also feeling somewhat suspicious. “This Qin Wushuang has escaped at such a fast pace. However, he lacks power, so how is it possible that he isn’t leaving any traces of his presence?”
While he dwelled on his own thoughts, signals had come from Xin Tianchen, the Second Chief through the communication jade plate. “Second Uncle, what did that Qin Yunran say?”
“That old geezer is not seeing the situation! Wuji, do you have the confidence to stop and kill that Qin Wushuang alone?”
Although Xin Wuji was confident, he would not talk big. “Second Uncle, that Qin Wushuang is mediocre in other skills, he only excels in running away. I will do my best.”
“Should I inform other sects and let that Qin Wushuang become the rat for everyone to hit? I believe the Emei Daoist Sect will be interested in this kid for sure!”
Xin Wuji immediately stopped him. “Second Uncle, this cannot be rushed. If Qin Wushuang has the Supreme Dao Fruit, I do have a strategy that can allow me to find an excuse for the Heavenly Emperor Gate to send a punitive expedition to the Qin clan in an appropriate way!”
“Oh?” Xin Tianchen had instantly become interested. Able to send a punitive force to the Qin Clan directly? That would be for the best. What if they were to get the Supreme Dao Fruit? Despite having it, they did not have the time to digest it!
“This time at the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, Wuw.a.n.g was sacrificed. Lei Hong and Yan Qiansui also lost their lives. For everything, we can s.h.i.+ft the blame to Qin Wushuang. We can cast the crime of internal strife to the Qin Clan. Plus the three laws before the departure, as the Qin Clan has violated these laws, it would appear justified and proper for us to send punitive forces. If the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect sees we make the move first, they would be happy to be the vanguard. By that time…”
Xin Tianchen laughed. “Great, great strategy! Wuji, this is a great strategy! I will make contact with the Heavenly Emperor now! Let’s do it per this strategy! Humph, this Qin Wushuang wants to run away to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain? That’s the best, we can dig a huge grave for the Qin clan and fill it all with their people!”
Cruelty had filled Xin Tianchen’s tone.
“Second Uncle, wait for my news. If I can get the Supreme Dao Fruit, we shall make other considerations. If I do not, we will execute it immediately! You should announce the news at the Karakorum Immortal Clan and let the Qin Clan fall to the disadvantage of morality first!”
“Ha ha, of course! Wuji, for this trivial matter, I do know!” Xin Tianchen revealed an eerie laugh. He licked his tongue and murderous intentions filled his eyes as if he wanted to eliminate the Qin Clan immediately!
