Initially, Qin Wushuang thought himself to be lucky. Indeed as Bao Bao had said, the surface was extremely firm. He just never imagined that although Bao Bao and Lone could not break it, Luo Tongtian, an elite warrior at the Exquisite Mysteries Boundary level also could not break it. It seemed that for Qin Wushuang to get out, he could only sacrifice a Divine Dao spiritual talisman.
Coming to that conclusion, Qin Wushuang became much calmer. Without a divine weapon, those from the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect could not break the surface. Did they have any divine weapons? Qin Wushuang didn’t believe that they did.
Luo Tongtian and Luo Hengye exchanged a glance and saw the helpless expression in each other’s eyes. Regarding Divine Weapons, the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect had nothing of the sort!
Could it be they must ask to borrow it, again?
These two looked at the Heavenly Punishing Hawk. The Hawk snickered at them: “Don’t look at me, I don’t have any divine weapon.”
“But your noble sect should have one, right?” Luo Hengye did not speak with confidence.
“That’s a matter of the sect, could it be you are counting on me to ask for it? Ha ha.” The Heavenly Punishing Hawk looked at Luo Tongtian and his people and mocked them. Clearly, it would be impossible.
“Head Dao Warrior…” Luo Hengye sent through his spiritual perception, “This place, is the spiritual qi source of our Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. Even if we asked for a divine weapon, neither you or I would have the courage to destroy it. In case we harm the source, it would be the same as cutting off our own retreat route. Both you and I will become the criminals of the sect, condemned by history.”
Luo Tongtian said with a long sigh: “Second, how I was not thinking the same thing. Yet, have you thought about how that kid stayed alive after being swept into the ley lines. Perhaps, right now he is enjoying his training inside it. It’s not right for us to drag out this matter. Don’t forget, he possesses a set of bow and arrows, and it has always been rumored that they were divine weapons. Since he has the strength to destroy the Subduing Devil Stone Tablet, most likely he has the strength to get out.”
It was a situation with no room to advance or to retreat. If they were to do nothing and just wait here, it would not be appropriate either. It seemed that they could not simply wait here for Qin Wushuang to die.
They had to take the initiative and borrow the divine weapon to break through the surface, then kill this kid. Yet, this method would make their heart ache. After all, this was the source of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect.
Once the ley lines were destroyed, it was the same as losing their final capital. If the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect could not acquire a seat at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, then it was the same for losing their base of operations. They would unavoidable, to fall into the miserable situation of becoming desolate and homeless.
At this time, the Heavenly Punishing Hawk rolled his eyes and shot cold glances as if it were to see through the ruins.
“He’s beneath, I sensed him!”
Suddenly, the Heavenly Punishing Hawk gave a sharp whistle and flapped its wings with excitement: “At this position, go down about a few hundred metres.”
A few hundred metres? Luo Tongtian and Luo Hengye were stupefied. For such depth, such density and firmness, most likely only one with the power of the Supreme Dao would be able to break in.
Down below, Qin Wushuang realized that the other party could not break the surface, he felt reassured and continued his training.
He had no time to waste time with Luo Tongtian. He must fight for every minute, and snatch every second.
Feeling flustered and exasperated, Luo Tongtian felt helpless despite knowing that the enemy was just within the reach of a few hundred metres. Such setback visibly made him seethe with madness.
He growled: “Qin Wushuang, I know you are down there. You cut your way to heaven, and you charged through the door to hell! Since you destroyed my sect, I can just dig a graveyard for you!”
Hearing Luo Tongtian’s toothless curses, Qin Wushuang just ignored it. In fact, he was rather happy to have made such a grandmaster this flustered.
The more Luo Tongtian lost his composure, the more joyful he felt.
“Qin kid, is Lu Xianlou, that dead old man, the one that taught you this sneaky trick? You should hide down there for the rest of your life, let me see how long you can stay there!”
The Heavenly Punishing Hawk laughed at him: “Head Dao Warrior, you are not planning to drown him with your spittle, right? Regardless how much you curse him, he will just ignore you.”
Despite feeling furious inwardly, it was inappropriate for Luo Tongtian to lose his poise. He only swore: “Qin, at such a young age, you are being so sneaky and destroyed our sect. This damned business will see you destroyed by heavenly lightning. Remember, this will retribution for your actions.”
Upon hearing this, a surge of anger rose in Qin Wushuang’s heart. He said coldly: “Luo Tongtian, you are after all, a grandmaster. Is it fun to jump around and spit? So only you can pursuit me, and destroy my sect, and I am not allowed to destroy yours?”
Stunned for a moment, Luo Tongtian immediately said furiously: “You dare to compare your puny sect in the Human Countries to mine? That’s right, not only will I destroy your sect, I will kill everyone in your family, and not leave behind a single one. Before I kill them, I will tell them that everything was due to the sins committed by you!”
Luo Tongtian’s tone sounded frantic.
Qin Wushuang said with a cold sneer: “Luo Tongtian, you defied the natural order, and since the heavens did not punish you, I will carry out that responsibility for the world. There will be a day where the sword of judgement will slice down on your head!”
Luo Tongtian laughed: “Kid, you are surely going overboard with your bluffs. You think that since Lu Xianlou, that dead old man, had given you some treasures, you can fight against me? If those things can fight against me, why would Lu Xianlou entrust them to you? I am not afraid to tell you that I’ve already decapitated Lu Xianlou. His head is on display above the city gates of the Dan Xia Prefecture. This is what you get for opposing me, Luo Tongtian!”
Qin Wushuang inhaled a deep breath as he only gave a cold sneer, and stopped quarrelling with Luo Tongtian. He knew that he had done it on purpose.
Seeing Qin Wushuang ignore him, Luo Tongtian kept finding topics to agitate him.
Qin Wushuang blocked his ears and refused to listen. He would refuse to give in. After Luo Tongtian’s for a while, he would speak with a neither warm nor cold tone. His actions had made Luo Tongtian furious to the extent that he wanted to vomit blood.
“Kid of the Qin, you have the skills the destroy my Subduing Devil Stone Tablet, you should come out! Hiding in there, is it fun to be an ostrich?”
“You are not coming out? Then let’s spend time together. Let’s see if you are going choke to death, or we head to our death.”
At this time, the Heavenly Punishing Hawk poured a bucket of cold water onto them as it said: “Head Dao, not to hide from you, under the ley lines, one will not suffocate to death even if they were to stay for three to five years. Additionally, according to my investigation, the ground beneath is full of spiritual qi. It’s the same as a natural training environment. If you guys continue to spend your time here, besides irritating him, there would not be a positive outcome. After a few decades, when he finally breaks out upon reaching the Supreme Dao, your sect will truly be finished.”
These were not frightening words to scare people. Although a few decades sounded like a lot, in the world of cultivation, the time would pass in the blink of an eye. To the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, it would surely be disastrous if Qin Wushuang trained to the Supreme Dao. These were not exaggerated words.
With Qin Wushuang’s usual methods and schemes, even though he had been a late-bloomer at the Void Martial Stage, he had left the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect crippled. If this person possessed the power of the Supreme Dao, it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as a calamity.
Thinking here, a shudder ran through Luo Tongtian and Luo Hengye. When they thought of such possibility, their heart became alarmed, and their body twitched.
With the degree of enmity between the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect and Qin Wushuang, once he had acquired the Supreme Dao, he would certainly kill them all down to the last person.
This was an irrevocable grudge and absolutely impossible to reach a compromise.
Both exchanged another glance and clearly, they had brushed away their hesitation from moments before. They arrived at the same thought, they had to borrow the Divine Weapon!
Regardless, they would not allow Qin Wushuang to have the chance to reach the Supreme Dao. They had to kill this kid while he was still in his cradle. Or else, it would cause no end of trouble. It was because the growth of this kid was too fast, and the methods he had displayed were too outrageous!
“Second, you have to go again.” Luo Tongtian sent through his spiritual perception.
Inwardly, Luo Hengye also smiled with bitterness. He truly would not wish to go. This was not an ordinary task for human beings. During the time he was visiting the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, and wandered between the Sound of Thunder and Heavenly Punishing Villa, he had received a cold reception. The other party had showed neither interest nor a welcoming attitude toward him. To someone holding a reputable position in the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, the discrepancy between the treatment in his own sect and the ill treatment he had received from these two sects was not something an ordinary person could bear.
Most importantly, it had been one matter to suffer a little ill treatment. Yet, some tasks were impossible to fulfill. For example, when he had tried to invite an elite warrior of the Supreme Dao to assist them, they had just ignored him.
“Second, I know this is not an easy task. But besides you, those two are not people who can do this. You know it…” Luo Tongtian was left without options.
In terms of handling diplomatic relations, the skill level of Tian Mingshan and Zuo Lengshuang could not compare to Luo Hengye. Even Luo Tongtian was inferior to the Second Dao Warrior, Luo Hengye, in this aspect.
Luo Hengye said with a bitter smile: “Head Dao Warrior, when I went last time, I said and did everything I could, the only thing I didn’t do was to kneel down and beg them. However, they listened to nothing. They were not willing to send an elite warrior of the Supreme Dao, much less lending us their Divine Weapon. I feel that they will definitely not lend it to us.”
“Second, regardless of everything, you have to go.”
However, Luo Hengye said: “Head Dao Warrior, for the power of the Supreme Dao, we don’t need to rely on the Divine Weapon. If you can enter the Supreme Dao, you are capable of breaking through the surface. You can even enter the ley line and kill the other party. That Qin Wushuang can only go in, and is trapped. His hands are tied and he is merely waiting to be captured.”
Luo Tongtian gave a long sigh: “Second, you think that I don’t want to break through? The Supreme Dao is completely different to the Exquisite Mysteries Boundary. I was unsuccessful despite many years of hard work. I cannot predict when I would make this breakthrough. It would not work if we just keep waiting. I always have a knot in my heart that leaves me unable to push toward the Supreme Dao with full concentration.”
These were honest words. Being occupied by this knot, Luo Tongtian also seemed to be progressing towards gaining an obsession. If he could not solve it, it might be his limit of his entire life.
“Head Dao, then tell me how should I speak to them?” Luo Hengye truly felt helpless, “Indeed I cannot think of a way to persuade them.”
“You have a way.” Suddenly, Luo Tongtian’s complexion had become sullen as he whispered next to his ears, “Second, last time when you had gone, you had spoken with courtesy. Of course these people did not take in your words. This time, you will speak to them of the stake. Just say that a great devilish being had appeared from a branch of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan. Most likely he would enter the rank of the Supreme Dao within a few decades. As soon as you inform them of this, I guarantee they would value it!”
Upon hearing these instructions, Luo Hengye’s eyes also lit up.
