Chapter 193: Chapter 130 The Tree Wishes to Stay Still but the Wind Will Not Cease_2
“The last is the Dragon Horse Tribe; they are people of Marquis Zhen Nan.”
Chen Qing asked, “Last time we seized their tribe, was it because of this?”
Xuanping said, “Seizing their tribe is akin to children’s squabbles at home; the royal city has always turned a blind eye to such matters.”
“Without reaching the Mystic Gate, the royal city doesn’t even bother to intervene.”
“Only after breaking through to the Mystic Gate Realm does the royal city summon one to stand by and bestow an official position.”
“Moreover, my father is a man of King Wu, how could their ordinary backers compare to King Wu?”
Hearing this, Chen Qing felt somewhat relieved and rode off with Xuanping to the gathering.
It’s best to avoid conflict if possible.
The meeting place was Huayun City, which belonged to no single tribe of the four but was chosen as a neutral venue for the gathering.
The location was naturally in the Fengyun Building, the most favorable and upscale spot in Huayun City.
After presenting the invitation, Chen Qing and Xuanping ascended to the rooftop together, and upon arrival, Chen Qing immediately sensed something amiss.
Yuan Ye was seated at the lower end of the table.
Normally, the four tribes should be of equal status, which would be represented by four tables of the same rank. Yet now, there were five.
One of which was positioned higher than the others, and upon it sat a young man with an air of overbearing arrogance.
Upon seeing Xuanping, he clearly lit up with interest.
When Yuan Ye saw Chen Qing and Xuanping arriving, he hastily introduced them, “Prince, this is Xuanping of the Xuan Bird Tribe, who has now established her Foundation!”
The young man known as Prince laughed loudly, “Excellent, excellent, Sister Ping’er indeed is a beauty!”
“Already established Foundation, very good, very good. I too am at the Foundation Establishment; when I break through to the Ghost Face Realm, I will need Sister Ping’er to accompany me into the Death Realm to protect me!”
Chen Qing felt instant revulsion, such people truly exist?
How did he survive to this age within the royal family?
Frivolous and arrogant, he must have survived until now only because he has a powerful father.
Xuanping was slightly displeased, with great discontent brewing within her. Suppressing her anger, she begrudgingly headed towards the last table to sit down, only to discover there was only one seat.
Xuanping angrily questioned, “Weren’t we both invited? Why is there only one seat?”
The Prince Martial Cultivator burst into laughter, pointing at Chen Qing, “A mere servant dares to sit at the same table as us?”
“That would be beneath my dignity!”
Xuanping responded, “Qingxu is not some servant; he is the future leader of our Xuan Bird Tribe, I would advise the Prince to mind his language.”
Martial Cultivator grew angry, “Don’t be shameless! A bumpkin dares to sit at the same table as me?”
He continued, “Since Sister Ping’er insists, then I must compromise.”
“Let this Qing, whatever his name is, take your seat.”
“My spot is quite spacious; you can squeeze in with me.”
I didn’t want to cause any trouble, but this thing really doesn’t know his place!
Chen Qing kicked over the table in front of him, his eyes filled with a chill as he looked at Yuan Ye, figuring this was a deliberate set-up by Yuan Ye to embarrass him.
“I gave you face!”
“Yuan Ye, take this Prince you invited and scram now, I’ll spare your Yuan Rang Tribe one pathway to life.”
The Wei’e Tribe and Dragon Horse Tribe simply watched from the sidelines, unmoved, curious to see what this promising newcomer was capable of.
Martial Cultivator slammed his wine cup to shatter it, “Qingxu, you dare tell me, a Prince, to scram? How dare you!”
Chen Qing strode forth. Just as Martial Cultivator tried to resist, he was caught by the incredibly fast Chen Qing, thrown to the ground, and received two crisp slaps.
The Prince’s face swelled from the blows, his mouth leaking fresh blood.
After tossing the Prince aside, Chen Qing coldly looked at Yuan Ye, “For today’s incident, your Yuan Rang Tribe owes a debt of a thousand lives.”
“I will spare you this time, but from now on, if you, Yuan Ye, dare to step out of the Yuan Rang Tribe, I will kill you!”
Having said that, Chen Qing left the place with Xuanping.
The Dragon Horse Tribe’s Long Yin watched the scene with amusement, gracefully rose, and descended the stairs to a luxurious room, where he respectfully reported outside the door, “Sixth Prince, the plot has succeeded.”
The doors opened, and the Sixth Prince strode out confidently, “I have only heard of Qingxu’s bravery, unrivaled in Xuan Bird.”
“Now it seems, truly unequaled in Wu Country.”
“Even daring to strike a Prince, he must have something to rely on.”
“What do you think of his strength when he just made his move?”
Long Yin bowed his hands in respect and said, “No ordinary Foundation Establishment can match him!”
“Like a tiger, once he acts, he is as unstoppable as a tiger descending the mountain!”
“If the Sixth Prince successfully subdues such a fierce tiger, he will surely be well protected in the Death Realm.”
The Sixth Prince ordered, “Send a command to the royal city, find a way to throw Yuan Rang into prison.”
Long Yin asked, “Isn’t this going too far? After all, Yuan Rang is at the Mystic Gate Realm.”
The Sixth Prince replied, “I don’t wish to do this either, but who told Da Yan to actually awaken an Ancient Prince?”
“The strife for the Ghost Face Realm this time, I’m afraid, might be as fierce as the Blood Disaster that happened three hundred years ago.”
“We must prepare early.”
“Now looking across the entire Wu Country, among Foundation Establishment cultivators, Qingxu is likely to be the strongest in the future!”
“Even looking across the entire Nanli, among Foundation Establishments, Qingxu is also a renowned figure.”
“Have you ever heard of a Qi Refinement ninth level who just arrived in Nanli, commanding a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator and twenty-one Hu Kui warriors?”
“Even counting the prominent figures of generations, this is also an exceptionally outstanding individual.”
While the two were discussing, someone hurriedly walked in to report, “Report! The Martial Cultivator has been captured by the Third Prince and is being taken to the Xuan Bird Tribe!”
The Sixth Prince immediately became anxious, he had painstakingly made arrangements, luring this confounded Martial Cultivator, deliberately provoking Chen Qing, and was about to thoroughly scheme, yet the Third Prince took the lead!
“The Third Brother really deserves to die!”
However, it was not over yet, another person soon came to report, “Report, the Seventh Prince has already captured Yuan Ye, publicly beheaded him, and with the royal decree in hand, is set to obliterate the Yuan Rang Tribe!”
The Sixth Prince flew into a rage, “Why is the Seventh also involved!”
“They all want to break through to the Mystic Gate Realm first, to show themselves in front of Grandfather, so he remembers them!”

The Sixth Prince quickly strode out the door, “What are you waiting for, go and snatch people with me, I must get Yuan Ye’s head, and also get the Martial Cultivator!”
The Sixth Prince immediately led three Foundation Establishment cultivators and charged out the door.
The city was filled with upheavals.
After leaving Huayun City, Chen Qing learned of these events.
“The tree wants to stay still but the wind will not cease.”
Xuanping smiled and said, “No helping it, who made you far superior in strength to your peers?”
“Only a Prince who has broken through to the Mystic Gate Realm is qualified to meet King Wu.”
“The first Prince to meet King Wu can certainly make a show for their forefathers, increasing their chances of succession.”
“And in the Death Realm, where strength rules, now that the news of the Da Yan Ancient Prince’s awakening has spread.”
“All the Princes have become anxious.”
“They urgently want to secure the support of Foundation Establishment strongmen, so they can return alive from the Death Realm.”
“In the end, it’s the awakening of the Ancient Prince of Da Yan that has stimulated them.”
“They must have a strong protector, to be able to cultivate safely to the Mystic Gate Realm.”
“After all, Nanli is governed by the Nine Kings, originally having many more princes and princelings than Da Yan, and their cultivation efforts being far inferior to Da Yan’s; even Da Yan’s princes pale in comparison, let alone the Ancient Prince?”
Hearing all this, Chen Qing also understood the situation.
Ji Dang’s entry had directly set the entire world in a frenzy.
Once this master enters the Death Realm, it must be a whirlwind of bloodshed.
If the world knew that Ji Dang’s target was himself, who knows how they would marvel.
Chen Qing said, “Let them fight; we’ll plant our own Spiritual Medicines and cultivate well to complete Foundation Establishment.”
He hadn’t planned to take refuge under anyone, because the power now in his hands was already enough to shake the entire Death Realm.
