The two brothers held each other’s palm, a charming air surrounded them.
“Congratulations.” Shang Ye smiled.
Su Mi also laughed. “Brother Wushuang, thank you. If you had not come out, that One Horned Mountain Dragon Clan would most likely have won. If that were the case, their cockiness would greatly increase.”
Initially, the One Horned Mountain Dragon Clan did not share a good relationship with the Coiled Dragon Clan where Su Mi belonged to. Both houses were considered exceptional among the True Dragon Nine Clans. Only, the One Horned Mountain Dragon Clan had that cunning Jiang Kui who broke the equally matched powerhouses.
Unconsciously, this One Horned Mountain Dragon Clan was trending to be more powerful than the Coiled Dragon Clan.
Qin Wushuang said with a smile, “Brother, what is your plan next?”
Shang Ye caressed his chin gently as murderous intentions flashed in his eyes. “Initially, I wanted to head to the Xuan Yuan Mound and stir up trouble with the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. However, since you hold a grudge with the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, for this matter, it doesn’t matter which one of us does it. More importantly, my father-in-law forbids me to enter the Xuan Yuan Mound.”
“Brother, then let me handle it.” Although Qin Wushuang’s tone was indifferent, there was a trace of coldness. How could Qin Wushuang forget the grudge he had with the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect?
How could it be possible for Qin Wushuang to wipe this grudge away and not seek revenge as they had destroyed and massacred all those in the Stargaze Palace? Luo Tongtian has played around long enough, it’s time for him to be stopped.
Shang Ye patted Qin Wushuang’s shoulder. “Brother, I’m sure we will meet again someday. Remember you promised me, you must come see me at the Endless Eastern Sea!”
Qin Wushuang laughed. “Brother, let’s make contact through the communication jade plate. I will for sure contact you when I get to the eastern sea.”
Shang Ye roared with laughter. “Alright, when we arrive at the eastern sea, let the two of us brothers go on an adventure. The Endless Eastern Sea is much more interesting than any other Forbidden Spiritual Zone. I will take you to kill some sea beasts, it’s really fun. You will definitely be able to increase your strength and training!”
“Sure, it’s a deal.”
After the two brothers had finished speaking, Qin Yunran walked in. When he saw Qin Wushuang, he laughed. “Wushuang, prepare your things, soon we will be heading back home.”
“Second Chief, why was Mr. Ba looking for you guys?”
“Ha ha, Mr. Ba is looking out for the Qin Clan this time. He has gathered the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate leaders and will travel with them.”
Qin Wushuang was stunned, but then immediately understood. Xuan Yuan Ba was to be a buffer from the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates fighting and scheming for the Supreme Dao Fruit belonging to the Qin Clan.
This would reduce many troubles for the Qin Clan. Under Xuan Yuan Ba’s eyes, even if Xin Tianchen were to have some little tricks, most likely he would not get away with it.
When he returned to the guest house, Qin Yunran instructed, “Everyone prepare your things and be ready to go at anytime.”
“Wushuang, you should also prepare yourself.” Qin Yunran smiled and suddenly, his complexion had changed slightly. From outside of the door, there was a burst of deep and resonating power. This was a power that no one could resist. In between his small and quick steps, it seemed as if he had moved the pressure between heaven and earth, making it tricky to even breathe steadily.
Qin Yunran’s complexion had changed, what was going on? Could someone have come to rob us of the Supreme Dao Fruit now? Although it appeared somewhat ridiculous, the tremendous power emitted from the coming person had truly surpassed Qin Yunran’s imagination.
“Little Qin Wushuang, can we talk in private?”
Like a light breeze, an indifferent voice had escaped through the cracks of the door to the ears of everyone. Although this voice didn’t feel piercing, they felt it gripping their hearts.
“Who?” Qin Wushuang asked vigilantly.
“I am King Cicada,” this voice said lightly.
King Cicada? Although these two words sounded ordinary, the complexion of Qin Yunran, Qin Wushuang, and the others changed abruptly… King Cicada!
The Head Chief of the Karakorum Immortal Clan, the highest existence within the entire Tian Xuan Land!
Qin Wushuang looked at Qin Yunran with confusion. Qin Yunran also felt confused. Who was this King Cicada and why would he look for someone, a youngster like Qin Wushuang?
Most likely, even the Head Chief of the Qin Clan would not be requested by someone at the level of King Cicada. However, Qin Yunran had no doubt that this was indeed him, as the aura of this approaching person was too strong. It was strong enough to have surpassed his imagination.
Qin Yunran nodded and motioned to Qin Wushuang that it would be alright to see him. Before an elite warrior at the level of King Cicada, there was no reason for Qin Wushuang to hide from him.
To speak unpleasantly, the other party was showing you respect by asking for his presence. For an elite warrior at the level of King Cicada, there was no need for him to consider his desires.
Qin Wushuang walked out with large strides. On the grass lawn outside the guest house, there was an apparent figure that was like a mass of air moving slowly. It was unclear whether this mass of air was real or an illusion.
Qin Wushuang followed him and unconsciously, he had arrived deep within a mountain. The figure stopped all of a sudden. Gradually, the figure had transformed to show his real body. A Daoist person was revealed with the demeanor of a transcendent being dressed in Daoist clothing and showing a few whiskers on his face. His entire presence emitted a powerful and in control aura.
“It’s my pleasure to see you, King Cicada, Daoist Master.” Qin Wushuang did not dare to neglect him.
“Ha ha, the champion, Qin Wushuang, very good!” King Cicada sized Qin Wushuang with a profound gaze that also showed some admiration.
In the beginning, he could not understand why Li Buyi would protect such a young man, yet with how the competition played out, King Cicada could finally understand that he was special.
Indeed, Li Buyi had keen eyes. This Qin Wushuang did not possess the strongest power among all the participating candidates; however, the methods and skills he had used to win championship were like none other.
However, King Cicada would not expose Li Buyi’s special attention to him. King Cicada knew that for now, Li Buyi did not want this young man to know the special attention he had received.
“Qin Wushuang, I am curious, that Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast was subdued by my Junior Brother Golden Cicada in the past. The time of the seal was not reached, how come it was able to accompany you out of the island and not get attacked by the seal’s power?” There was an indifferent smile on his face.
“Daoist King Cicada, the Chasing Cloud beast had surely not violated the principle when it came out,” Qin Wushuang answered leisurely. Since he did not understand King Cicada’s intentions, he had not answered the question with too much detail.
“Yes, since the Chasing Cloud beast has escaped, it at least proves that you’ve already obtained the nine Shooting Sun Arrows. Because of this, certainly you must also have the Graceful Spiritual Bow, lost by Junior Brother Golden Cicada, right?” King Cicada asked with a grinning face.
Qin Wushuang was somewhat surprised as he looked at King Cicada with astonishment. Yet, he could not but help to nod. For this matter, he could not get away with anything but the truth.
These Supreme Dao elite warriors could perceive even the finest details, for they saw things absolutely as they were. This senior King Cicada was especially deep in knowledge and immeasurable understanding. It would not be a smart idea to lie before such an elite warrior.
“Ha ha, don’t be nervous.” Daoist Master Karakorum Immortal Clan laughed. “Since you have that Graceful Spiritual Bow, it proves that you are a person brought here by fate. My Karakorum Immortal Clan is not that cheap and would not try to get it back. In fact, this Graceful Spiritual Bow had also not belonged to the Karakorum Immortal Clan. It was also a coincidence when Junior Brother Golden Cicada acquired it. Unfortunately, for the eighteen Shooting Sun Arrows, nine are still in the hands of the Xuan Yuan Clan.”
“The Xuan Yuan Clan?”
“Ha ha, if Junior Brother Golden Cicada had not gone to the faraway Xuan Yuan Mound to challenge the Xuan Yuan Clan, how could the Shooting Sun Arrows be lost? He would not have perished in foreign lands. Initially, he was defeated by a unique elite warrior from the Xuan Yuan Clan. Later on, he went missing. I came to find you because I just wanted to see that Graceful Spiritual Bow again.”
King Cicada’s tone was incredibly sincere. Qin Wushuang knew that he was speaking the truth. He took out the Graceful Spiritual Bow and instantly, it shone with brilliant divine lights.
Instantly, complicated emotions filled King Cicada’s eyes. After a while, a faint sense of sadness flashed across his face as he nodded. “Put it away, very good.”
Qin Wushuang put away the Graceful Spiritual Bow.
King Cicada said again, “Qin Wushuang, the meaning behind the Graceful Spiritual Bow is more complicated than you can imagine. As you inherit it, you must have the consciousness to accept all callings. Now it’s inappropriate for me to say anything. I only want to say that the one who has the Graceful Spiritual Bow will most likely face the hostility of all the totem powerhouses on the entire Tian Xuan Land. If you can step pass these obstacles, you will be king of the Tian Xuan Land. If not, what happened to Junior Brother Golden Cicada will most likely become your own fate. Alright, I will not say anymore. Take care.”
Qin Wushuang was left puzzled as he couldn’t quite make out the true meaning of what was being said. However, for a senior like King Cicada, clearly he was not a person to speak without cause.
Since he had specifically called him here, certainly he would not speak such unintentional words. Therefore, although Qin Wushuang had not understood the meaning behind these words, he guarded them with his heart.
He gave a bow and Qin Wushuang said, “Senior King Cicada, then I will take my leave.”
King Cicada appeared to be lessening in interest as he waved his hand. “Go, be careful of everything and everyone in the Xuan Yuan Mound.”
Qin Wushuang’s heart sank, for he knew that these words had meant something. However, he still could not comprehend the implied meanings behind it. He could only reveal a smile as he turned to leave.
When he returned to the guest house, Qin Yunran and the others were already prepared to go.
…
On the journey back, they were sent by a flying boat used by the Karakorum Immortal Clan alone. Due to its fast speed, in less than a day they had arrived at the Fantasy Moon Prefecture that was on the border of both places.
After they adjusted slightly at the Fantasy Moon Prefecture, the trip back to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain was indeed, tranquil. Under the accompaniment of the Xuan Yuan Clan elite warriors, even though Xin Tianchen and the others were immensely bold, they would not dare to act outrageously. Qin Yunran and his people had returned to the Aspiring Throne Mountain smoothly.
Back home, the Aspiring Throne Mountain was already flaring up.
The Qin clan had demonstrated immense power and had bravely seized the championship at the Illusion Heavenly Lake, along with winning three Supreme Dao Fruit heroically. Along the process, Qin Wushuang had also taken out Xin Wuji, the son of the Heavenly Emperor.
All the battle records were so dazzling which made all from the clan feel proud and elated.
It had been a long time since the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan felt proud and joyful. The wretched feelings accumulated for thousands of years, suppressed anger, had all been unleashed at once.
This was a holiday for the Aspiring Throne Mountain and a holiday for all disciples of the Qin Clan. All the branches of the Qin Clan had sent people to congratulate the warriors at their headquarters and to welcome the heros triumphant return..
Especially Qin Wushuang, this dark horse that had appeared out of nowhere. Before the championship, many disciples of the Qin Clan had questioned his position and felt puzzled why the Chief had given him such high regard.
Now, all the questions, all the confusion disappeared without a trace!
What else was there to be suspicious of? Champion of the competition, seizing two Supreme Dao Fruit, heroically killing Xin Wuji, all these past feats were enough to prove everything!
Even Honored Warrior Zhi Huai, after having learned everything, was also incredibly ashamed. He summoned Qin Shaohong and ordered him again and again to not find any troubles with Qin Wushuang. If so, punishment would follow!
