As Qin Shaohong walked on the road outside the Great Bright City, he felt he was in a dream. Half a day ago, he thought he could not escape from the calamity. Years of suffering in prison already ground away all of his edges and corners. It made him realize completely how narrow minded he was.
“Senior Brother, what did you gain from your trip?” For the time, Qin Shaohong could not put down his pride to thank Qin Wushuang.
Since Qin Taichong knew about Qin Shaohong’s intentions, he gave a chuckle and said, “Shaohong, don’t ask me first. If Wushuang did not come this time, not just you, I would also have been thrown behind bars.”
“Wushuang, being the Senior Brother, I am in your debt,” Qin Taichong said seriously.
Qin Shaohong’s complexion became red as he also stammered, “Junior Brother Wushuang, in the past I did not know how to step back as I held too much pride and had a small breadth of mind. Your justified actions make me ashamed and I cannot even show my face…”
When Qin Wushuang saw that the proud and arrogant Qin Shaohong issued such a low postured signal, he also found it surprising. He never hoped Qin Shaohong to blame himself.
He waved his hand for it didn’t matter to him. From the distant part of his brows, there was a trace of dignity. “Two senior brothers, this time as we are on the run for the destiny of the Qin Clan, no need to distinguish it clearly. How can eggs stay intact with an overturned nest? With the current difficult situation at the Qin Clan, what plans do you two have?”
Although Qin Taichong advanced to the Supreme Dao Stage within these ten years, he would not be blindly optimistic. The ten years of sharpening on a grindstone caused this careless Senior Brother to become much calmer.
“Junior Brother Wushuang, what do you think we should do?”
Qin Wushuang said with a low voice, “Five of us went out, but Senior Brother Qin Zhining and Qin Hao have already died. It seems that in the end, we cannot count on those totem powerhouses. We must save the Qin Clan on our own!”
“That’s right, this time we were all rejected. Junior Brother Wushuang, things didn’t go well for you at the Endless Eastern Sea?”
“The Endless Eastern Sea is powerless to defend themselves. Their situation is much more chaotic than the Xuan Yuan Mound. That Golden Crow is wreaking havoc and is enough to give them a headache of their own.” Qin Wushuang also felt helpless. He did meet Golden Ray Dragon King and he was rather kind to him. Although Qin Wushuang fought with Golden Ray Dragon King because of the Hibiscus Forest, he did not mind and blocked the attack of the Golden Crow for him.
Therefore, Qin Wushuang did not hold any grudges against the Forefather Dragon Clan.
After all, the general situation of the Endless Eastern Sea was certainly much more important than the private righteousness of the Qin Clan.
“Two Senior Brothers, you were exposed at the Heavenly Fire Southern Border. I believe the pursuit of the Heavenly Emperor Gate will come soon. We should circle around them.”
“Circle around?” Qin Taichong and Qin Shaohong were stunned.
“Senior Brothers, at the current moment, which place is the safest?” Qin Wushuang asked.
“This, I am afraid in this boundless world, there is no safe place…” Qin Shaohong gave a long and helpless sigh.
“Now the Heavenly Emperor Gate has high spirits and they are unprecedentedly united. To the Qin Clan, a safe place is apparently a luxury good.” Qin Taichong also felt extremely helpless.
The Heavenly Emperor Gate got four great Supreme Dao warriors. Inside the Heavenly Emperor Gate party, there are a dozen Supreme Dao elite warriors. Although Qin Wushuang already killed two, there were still as many as fourteen.
These fourteen Supreme Dao elite warriors were a group of high-risk existences that could annihilate the Qin Clan at any moment. Even if they could not annihilate them completely, they must exert all ways to shatter their alliances.
Qin Wushuang would not be unduly humbled. If it were just the Heavenly Emperor Gate alone, the Qin Clan could definitely turn defeat into victory. Now the crucial point lay with those subordinate powerhouses that acted as accomplices.
Those three neutral sects were just opportunists. The most despicable ones were that Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect. They were not friendly with the Qin Clan in the beginning. At this moment, certainly they would stay close next to the Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan.
It would be a great difficulty to break up their alliance.
“Junior Brother Wushuang, what would you like to say?” When Qin Taichong saw Qin Wushuang in silence, he could not refrain from asking.
Qin Wushuang let out a graceful smile. “Two Senior Brothers, currently the safest place to go is the human countries. When that Xin Clan made a move against the human countries, I heard they already received severe warnings. Currently, the human countries are the safest place. Senior Brothers, I plan to return there.”
“Return to the human countries?” Qin Taichong was slightly surprised.
“Yes, the human countries are the closest to the Xuan Yuan Mound. It’s a good place for us to train in peace.” After much consideration, Qin Wushuang felt that only the human countries were the safest.
Qin Shaohong gave a long sigh. “Could it be we can only stay in hiding and be alarmed in a desperate situation all day?”
Qin Wushuang said with a smile, “No, we are just doing strategic hiding. I lured them to the Heavenly Fire Southern Border to attract their attention. It would scatter their power and make them incapable of throwing all their manpower to attack the Aspiring Throne Mountain. Additionally, I will provoke them every few days and try to break up the powerhouses.”
“This…” Qin Taichong said with a bitter smile, “Junior Brother Wushuang, when departing from the Xuan Yuan Mound and from the human countries, it’s about the same as going to the Heavenly Fire Southern Border. How can you attract their attention every few days?”
Qin Wushuang said with a laugh, “Senior Brother, for this, I have an excellent plan.”
Up to this point, there was nothing for Qin Wushuang to hide from his colleagues. When he reached the Sixth Loop, he was only one step away from that Seventh Loop in the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation. Even if his colleagues knew, there would not be any harm done.
Therefore, Qin Wushuang did not plan to hide the secret about the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation.
“Alright, Senior Brothers, please follow me!”
Qin Wushuang was incredibly cautious. After he verified that nobody from the Great Bright City was tracking them, he brought Qin Taichong and Qin Shaohong towards the mountain cave where the Sixth Loop was located.
There was a few hundred miles of distance from the Great Bright City to the cave. To Qin Wushuang, it would only take a morning and night of travel. However, since Qin Shaohong wass yet to enter the Supreme Dao Stage and suffered severe injuries, naturally he would drag their speed down. Yet as Qin Wushuang had the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings, naturally there was no pressure to carry him.
After a day and a night, they arrived near the mountain cave entrance. Qin Wushuang was not in a rush to take them into the cave. Instead, he patrolled a few times around the surrounding area. After he made sure that there were no tracking, he guided the two of them with a smile. “Two Senior Brothers, follow me.”
After they entered the complicated underground cave of the Sixth Loop, Qin Taichong smacked his tongue in wonder. “Wushuang, what is this place? This cave has a unique appearance and the internal structure showcases divine crafting skills. It’s like a cave dwelling of some powerful senior.”
“This is a cave dwelling. Two Senior Brothers, please sit on this stone platform. I will use the Supreme Dao power to activate the formation in it. It will send us to another place.”
“Transportation formation?” Qin Taichong and Qin Shaohong also experienced that form of transportation channel inside the Qin Clan, so they were not unfamiliar with it.
“Yes, this transportation channel is different than the one at the Qin Clan. The transportation of the Qin Clan can only send us a short distance away. This transportation channel exists to transport us across Forbidden Spiritual Zones. The previous stop is the Endless Eastern Sea. Are you ready?”
When he saw that the two Senior Brothers finished preparing, Qin Wushuang activated the formation. The five colored divine light formed into a giant mass that pressed down and cover them.
It pulled directly and wrapped the figures of these three people. Then, they disappeared without a trace.
At most, only an hour was spent by going through this transportation formation. Then, they stopped.
Qin Taichong and Qin Shaohong looked at the surrounding environment with astonishment. This cave appeared similar to the previous cave. However, the imposing manner and many of the little details were clearly different.
“Wushuang, what is this place?” Qin Taichong asked with astonishment.
“This is a cave inside the Endless Eastern Sea. Senior Brothers, are you ready?” Qin Wushuang guided them to the stone platform of the Fifth Loop, “The previous stop will be the Xuan Yuan Mound.”
“Xuan Yuan Mound?”
“That’s right, it’s the Xuan Yuan Mound! However, it’s still far away from the Heavenly Emperor Mountain.” Qin Wushuang said seriously, “However, now the Heavenly Emperor Mountain has set up an inescapable net. We don’t know how many eyes are watching us. Now, certainly we would be walking right into a trap if we go back to the Xuan Yuan Mound. Therefore, we will not linger at the Xuan Yuan Mound. We will return to the human countries!”
When the formation from the Fifth to the Fourth Loop activated, in a moment, it sent the three of them to the Fourth Loop at the Xuan Yuan Mound.
The interlocked loops and their magical creation made Qin Taichong and Qin Shaohong feel somewhat dumbstruck.
Finally, Qin Taichong could not refrain from asking, “Junior Brother Wushuang, this way, I am afraid the rumor spread from the outside world is true?”
“Rumor?” Qin Wushuang blinked his eyes.
“It was rumored that Junior Brother Wushuang rose from the human countries because you inherited a mysterious ancient formation. The one who gets this formation is able to ride at the peak of the Tian Xuan Land. Could it be, they meant this formation?”
“Yes!” Qin Shaohong also exclaimed in astonishment. “You have hundreds of different peculiar moves and endless fortune, it must be bestowed by this formation? It seems that you are truly a genius dropped from the heavens and the person selected by the gods to lead the Qin Clan out of their misery!”
At this moment, how could Qin Shaohong have any trace of jealousy? What he had was only joy and excitement.
After all, if Qin Wushuang was truly the heir to the immemorial formation, it meant that the gods had not abandoned the Qin Clan.
It meant that not only did the Qin Clan have the chance to break free from their misfortune, they might even be able to turn the tide and prosper as top of the land!
Being disciples of the Qin Clan, naturally they would develop with the overall trend.
For such a simple principal, how could Qin Shaohong be unaware of it?
Two pairs of fervent eyes fixed onto Qin Wushuang for they were clearly waiting for his answer. Their eyes shone as they were worried about their personal gains and losses.
Qin Wushuang revealed a light smile. “Senior Brothers, this formation exists. However, whether or not it’s from the immemorial stage or if it can allow me to ride above the land, I am unsure… If this formation gets exposed before the different major totem powerhouses, the amount of resistance to be met will be unimaginable.”
Qin Taichong and Qin Shaohong all shivered with fear. They shot each other a glance and said in unison, “That’s right! Junior Brother Wushuang, we will surely keep this a secret. We will never expose it to anyone, that includes all the Qin disciples! If half a word gets leaked from us, let us die without a burial place! Let the gods and mankind abandon us!”
Qin Wushuang waved his hand. “Senior Brothers, if I did not trust you guys, I would not have brought you here. We are tied together by the fate of the Qin Clan. We are bound in life or death. You don’t have a reason to sell me out nor the motive. Once the formation gets exposed, people of the Qin Clan will not be able to be righteous alone in the community.”
“Yes.” Qin Taichong and Qin Shaohong nodded. Even without speaking this bluntly, these two were well aware of it.
