Chapter 854: Yun Xuechen’s Intentions
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Yun Clan and the Qin Clan were the two great sects with the most profound foundation amongst the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates. They shared a much older history than the current Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan.
These two powerhouses formed a mutual understanding that in any circumstances to never send an expedition to each other. In addition Yun Xuechen shared an old relationship with Qin Wushuang. Therefore, Qin Wushuang did not dare to neglect him and received him personally.
Inwardly, Yun Xuechen also felt rather astonished. Initially the young man he became acquainted with at the Dispersed Praying Mountain had grown into a major giant, in these past dozen years. Now, he ruled over the Qin Clan which had tens and thousands of years of history.
“Head Chief Qin, after ten years of not seeing you, indeed your gracious manner surpasses before,” Yun Xuechen spoke first with a smile. “It’s my honor to meet you personally.”
Qin Wushuang also showcased considerable etiquette. “Regardless if it’s for public or personal matters, I don’t have a reason not to see you when you come to visit, Second Head Chief Yun. In terms of public matter, the Yun Clan did not hit a person who is down. When the Qin Clan was in the most dire straits, if the Yun Clan stepped in, my Qin Clan would have died. In terms of private matters, initially at the Monkey King Mountain, you had the good virtue to teach me. At that time, the situation was not bright, I did not dare to openly say that I received your great kindness in fear of troubling the Yun Clan. Today, there are no outsiders, I must thank you for that kindness.”
Initially Yun Xuechen thought that Qin Wushuang would avoid that experience. After all, Qin Wushuang was the current Head Chief of the Qin Clan, how could he easily admit the favor he took from Yun Xuechen?
Unexpectedly, Qin Wushuang mentioned it seriously. Without hiding the slightest detail, it was apparent to see him as open and candid.
“Head Chief, that simply happened at the right time, there is no need to trouble yourself with the small amount of cause and concern. Additionally, initially your ancestor Qin Yu shared a personal relationship with me.” Since Yun Xuechen could not say too much, he could only say some humbling words.
At the Qin territory and with Qin Wushuang’s different identity, he could not be a carefree pretentious benefactor. That would not make people feel good.
Qin Yunran and Qin Chongyang both felt somewhat surprised. Vividly, they felt more good impressions from the Yun Clan. For your information, the Qin Clan has always been in the decline. It was already extremely rare for the Yun Clan to bestow some help when the Qin Clan was at its downfall.
Although the Yun Clan did not aid them when the Heavenly Emperor Gate came to send a punitive expedition to the Qin Clan, there was no blame to their clan. After all, the two powerhouses only formed a mutual understanding to not send forces against one another, they had not formed a life and death alliance.
Additionally, the Heavenly Emperor Gate sent the expedition against the Qin Clan due to them having received the authority from the totem clan. The other sects did not have the authority to interfere.
Since the Yun Clan did not turn to the other side at such a crucial moment and kept their promise, it was already great kindness.
When Qin Wushuang saw Yun Xuechen being courteous, he laughed. “At that moment, indeed it was small karma for you to help me. Yet to a young man that was lost, it’s a great teaching. I personally owe you a favor. In the future if there is anything I can do, within my ability, I will do what I can.”
Yun Xuechen said with a chuckle, “You are too courteous, Head Chief Qin.”
“Ha ha, Daoist Yunchen, we can talk about our private matters to this point. What brings you here?” Qin Yunran and Yun Xuechen shared a relationship. He was much more straightforward when talking to him.
After entering the main topic, Yun Xuechen did not keep them in the dark. Since everyone was well acquainted, there was no need for him to hide.
He went straight to the topic. “My Head Chief sent me because he also wants to see your plans. We want to know what you plan to do for this Heavenly Emperor election?”
Qin Wushuang carried the smile on the corner of his mouth and gently knocked on the armrest. He was not in a rush to answer, instead he asked, “What has Head Chief Yun planned?”
“It’s a good question. Before sending me, my Head Chief told me that for this Heavenly Emperor election, there is only one condition: the seat of the Heavenly Emperor must not fall into the hands of the Xin Clan. With this, everything else can be discussed.”
To not have the seat fall to the Xin Clan was the same as telling the Qin Clan indirectly that for this Heavenly Emperor election, the candidates could only be the Qin and the Yun clan.
Qin Yunran and Qin Chongyang exchanged a glance. Both were pondering this in their hearts. They would not dare to catch this statement easily. Although this Yun Xuechen’s intentions seemed clear, in fact there might be something hidden.
Excluding the Xin Clan meant that the Qin and Yun Clan must form a tacit understanding in secret. They would suppress the Xin Clan and push them out together.
Then what about the Qin and the Yun Clan?
Clearly, Qin Wushuang also thought about this question. With a smile, he said, “This way, Head Chief Yun shares the same intentions as me. Regardless, this time the Xin Clan will not laugh in the end. Then allow me to declare that the ones that will have the opportunity to compete for the Heavenly Emperor seat will only be the Qin and Yun Clan. The Qin and Yun have shared a good relationship since ancient times. Being friendly is a private matter, competing for the Heavenly Emperor seat is a virtuous cause. Before the virtuous cause, we will not throw away our friendliness, but use our own skills to gain the seat of Heavenly Emperor. Regardless of who wins or who losses, it will not harm our relationship.”
In fact, Yun Xuechen wanted these words. Upon hearing Qin Wushuang analyze it directly, naturally he was overjoyed and nodded. “Yes, my Head Chief meant it this way. Our two clans have gone through tens and thousands of events. Despite some small disputes, we never harmed our foundation nor our relationship. Therefore, my Head Chief shares the same intentions. Before the virtuous cause, we will compete on fair grounds.”
Although Qin Yunran and Qin Chongyang were all smiles, they were vividly worried. Initially, the Yun Clan and Qin Clan were on par with strength.
In terms of their current overall strength, ever since the Qin Clan acquired a few extra Supreme Dao elite warriors, their development potential even surpassed the Yun Clan.
However, the problem was that due to the Nirvana Heavenly Plow, the Head Chief Qin Xiaotian letting go of the position because of injuries, it was impossible for him to fight with an injured divine soul.
Since Qin Xiaotian was incapable of fighting, the Head Chief of the Yun Clan was an elite warrior that would not lose to Qin Xiaotian or Xin Tianwen. Now, the Qin Clan lacked a top elite warrior to fight against the Head Chief of the Yun Clan and Xin Tianwen.
Qin Wushuang did possess extraordinary talent, yet he was still restrained by his age. At crucial moments, most likely he lacked maturity.
“By the way, Head Chief Qin, my clan received information that Heavenly Emperor Xin Tianwen appeared at the Heavenly Fire Southern Border. I don’t know what he is up to. According to my Head Chief’s speculation, Xin Tianwen appearing at the Heavenly Fire Southern Border is most likely due to Saber Beard. I heard that Saber Beard is related to that Heavenly Fire Southern Border. My Head Chief worries that with the reduced power of Xin Tianwen, whether he will lure the wolf into the den and attract vicious sects into the Heavenly Emperor Mountain conflict.”
“Xin Tianwen would not abandon himself to that extent, would he?” Qin Yunran could not help but ask.
Qin Chongyang did not have the slightest confidence with Xin Tianwen. “That’s hard to say. Xin Tianwen is someone that will achieve his goal regardless of what he has to do. Even if he knew it would be drinking poison to quench his thirst, he would certainly do it. His resentment to the Qin Clan is a monstrous mentality accumulated over a long period of time. He will use whatever means to deal the Qin Clan.”
Qin Wushuang agreed with Qin Chongyang’s point.
For someone like Xin Tianwen, he was definitely a decisive, ambitious, and ruthless character. He would not worry about losses or gains of reputation when dealing with matters.
Yun Xuechen said, “If Xin Tianwen attracted the Heavenly Fire Southern Border beast clans to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, perhaps there will be huge changes to the outlook of our Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Everyone, although our Heavenly Emperor Mountain is not an impenetrable fortress, since ancient times, we never allowed foreign powerhouses from the Forbidden Spiritual Zones to interfere.”
“Perhaps Xin Tianwen is bold, but will the Xuan Yuan Clan sit and ignore this?” Qin Yunran still appeared to not believe it.
“If the Xuan Yuan clan knew about it, certainly they would not agree. The problem is that if Xin Tianwen is to do these matters, he will be doing it without anyone knowing and in extreme secrecy. Besides, the Saber Beard divine beast always lived alone at the Xuan Yuan Mound. It never admitted its relationship with the Heavenly Fire Southern Border. It will be difficult to pass judgement once the beast clans of the Heavenly Fire Southern Border rush in.”
Before Yun Xuechen came here, clearly he thought about these words. Now as he said all of it, clearly he wanted to throw this difficult problem to the Qin Clan to worry together.
Qin Wushuang was extremely calm. With a simple smile, he said, “Everyone, it’s not me looking down at Xin Tianwen’s prestige, but in terms of the Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan, they are their end. Regardless of how much he tries to toss from side to side, perhaps he could stir one or two devilish acts, yet it will not be enough to change the foundation of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. To speak bluntly, Xin Tianwen is struggling on his deathbed.”
Qin Wushuangs spoke these words with confidence and ease. It sounded as if he was setting the world right. Yet in the ears of others, it sounded somewhat idealistic. All of them felt it was a form of self-encouragement a youngster may have mentally.
Regarding the power of Xin Tianwen, these senior Supreme Dao elite warriors knew best. Therefore, for a reckless Xin Tianwen that wanted to break the cauldron and sink the boats, they were extra worried.
Yun Xuechen laughed and just when he was about to say something, Qin Wushuang stopped him. He asked, “Let’s discuss this point about the Xin Clan. Is there any other things your sect wishes to discuss?”
Yun Xuechen was not frustrated when he was stopped midway. He knew that people of the Qin Clan did not have good impressions of Xin Tianwen and would not wish to hear his name. He let go of this topic as he judged the situation and said, “For this Heavenly Emperor election, certainly it will be accompanied with a shocking change to the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates. For each Heavenly Emperor election, there will be changes. The Heavenly Punishing Villa and Sound of Thunder Sect are publicly known wings to the Xin Clan. If the Xin clan falls, it seems to be inappropriate to keep these two sects at the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates. It would be like nurturing a tiger and inviting calamity.”
“Ha ha, of course.” Qin Yunran laughed. “It seems that it’s not only the Qin Clan who doesn’t like the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect.”
Qin Wushuang was rather aware that Yun Xuechen said it to deliberately hit the good points of the Qin Clan. The most crucial topic for discussion must come after.
Indeed, Yun Xuechen probed to ask, “If these two were out of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, for the two empty spots, how would you take care of it, Head Chief Qin?”
Initially, Qin Wushuang wanted to say that whoever sits on the seat of Heavenly Emperor will make the decision. Yet judging the expression of Yun Xuechen, it did not seem that he intended for this. At the moment, he remained in silence.
